Crackle and dropout at playback Styles

Hello Dan,

since some month i have a problem with playing varranger.
I use your Sounds with your player. Also i use some vst instruments.
It can be that the sound is ok ,  but most of it the playback of the styles crackles and has very short dropouts.

With my DAW i have no problem. I can use lots of vsti and the sound is "normal good" without crackle.
I use the same asio sound driver (DAW: Presonus Studio One V3, Cockos Reaper, Mixcraft 7).

I use the Steinberg UR22 Midi / Audio Interface. For testing i used a Roland Duo Capture EX.
There is no difference between the two interfaces in Varranger.

My speculation can be that this happens when i add the vsti in varranger.
I must test it , if this is true, or not. At two tests, the sound without vsti was clear.
But i must try more times to say that this is the problem.

Do you have an idea, what this can be ?


Many greetings,

Roland

Dan

What is you PC CPU / RAM / HARD DRIVE ?

What VSTs do you use when you have the problems ?

Are they 32 bit / 64 bit / Bridged?

Donny

It is a laptop, I7, 16 GB Ram, 512 GB SSD, Windows 10.
Varranger 64 bit, you installes that version with team viewer.
I use my Organ Audreio Revival 64 bit and Rob Papen Blue 2 64 bit.

Dan

What ASIO buffer size do you use with the other DAW?


I see a lot of people complaining of that for the UR22 Interface.

Did you try the ideas posted there?

Donny

Sorry, i haven't watched to steinberg...
I will read all and try out the tips.
Thank you for your answer !!!!!

Dan

By the way, what ASIO buffer size do you use with the other DAW?

Dan

No. He saied that there is not problem with Studio One. SO nothing to change

Lylo

But in past you said to me 256 is better for vArranger.

Donny

I thought that my configuration is good for performance, because of the good work with the DAW.
But i read in the Steinberg forum about the interface. I can some things change. My Interface
has no power supply, i connected the interface to my USB hub without power supply.
So i will try to connect direct to my laptop and all things will get power supply.
Many thanks to all.

Dan

Let me know if everything is perfect when connecting directly to the USB port without HUB

Donny

I got my Capture Duo Ex with power supply and put it in the usb port direct in the laptop.
I played one hour and had 5 times crackle. That is perfect. For now it is the best solution.
When i have more time i will try more tips, but now it is very good !!!!!

Donny

Dan, which brand, Midi / Audio interface do you prefer for VA ?

Dan

For midi, I like Roland
For Audio... I don't have enough experience, but downloading and installing the latest drivers of the audio card is something important.
Also, there is a little program that can check if your computer is OK for realtime audio : http://www.thesycon.de/eng/latency_check.shtml
If you have some spikes here, maybe you need to update your wifi drivers, or disable wifi / bluetooth and see if it is better...

Dan

I have recently bought a Roland Quad Capture, and hope to use it for live gigs and VST

Donny

Thank you very much.

I made some more tests with the UR22. Now it is again on the usb hub and
without power supply. I used now an old driver and the crackle is gone.
That is one of the things they have written in the steinberg forum.

But i will use my Capture Duo Ex with power supply and without hub.
I deactivated all driver not needed.
Now all is wonderful !


Dan
