Hey! I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to give an update on this thing.
#CPU OVERLOAD WITH PIANOTEQ 5 INSTALL#
You say you are on Windows and only tried to select ASIO in Pianoteq? Did you ever install an ASIO driver or an external audio interface? How do you know you even have an ASIO driver on your computer? Maybe none have been install? I have one more PCI-e slot (I assume sound card would slide into PCI-e?) but it's next to a pretty large GPU and WIFI card. I don't even know what it is, I'll try google.ĮDIT: if by "something better" you mean dedicated sound card, I'm not sure I have enough space for that. Well all I tried was to select ASIO in Pianoteq settings. The headphones have the same jack, plugged in the front panel of my desktop and there's no popping (but headphones are probably driven with much less power than speakers). The speakers came with the cable by default. I'm using 3.5 mm jack straight to the mobo. you said you tried ASIO and could not get it to work? Where did you configure ASIO? I presume you're using the interface built into the PC? You might need something better.īut wait. If that's the lowest buffer setting you can use without getting clicks and pops then you need a better audio interface. You say you're running at 768? That's a lot of latency. Native "Windows Audio" won't perform adequately.īuffer size of 64 is ideal, 128 is quite good, 256 is tolerable, 512 is annoying.

If you want to use virtual instruments on a PC you must have an ASIO driver. I guess this is THE limitation of the speakers, so I can keep it somewhere around 768, have louder sound, but not overdo it, because it will get distorted.Īs sleutelbos said, it's not the speakers. If I set the buffer to 768 samples, there is no conceivable delay, but I can't raise the volume to the grand-piano-in-a-small-room level, because it gets a little overblown (the sound is not clear, there isn't popping either, but it's kinda distorted). Some tests: increased buffer to 1024 samples, no popping, but either I'm imagining things, but I get some slight delay in a sense that what I physically play on keys comes out of the speakers a tiny bit later. My current sample rate is 44100Hz and the buffer size is 480 samples (10.0 ms). When I switch to ASIO both my speakers and headphones disappear from the output options, so I don't think that's available to me (what's ASIO anyways?). My driver is Windows Audio (exclusive mode).

Increase the buffer size, and make sure you use asio drivers. That creates terrible popping, and the faster/more notes you play the worse it gets as your pc is taxed more and more. Your buffer is set too low, causing your pc to be unable to create the sound fast enough for playing live.

So I was thinking about some funny solution, like Pianoteq "baking" the sound into something mp3-like as it's being played.? I'm just sad I can't unleash the full potential of the speakers, not with Pianoteq while I'm playing, but they can certainly take a beating when I play back the mp3.

I think this is true because it usually wouldn't pop with single notes, but rather larger, louder chords in some registers (this might be related to the resonant frequencies of the speakers). My ideas: it's not actually Pianoteq, per se, but the way it mixes individual sounds into the blend that we hear - maybe it's the polyphony that hurts the speakers, which gets lost as it's exported to mp3. So it's not the speakers to blame, it's Pianoteq! My question is: has anyone bumped into the same problem and what did they do to mitigate/eliminate it? Thanks. However! Recently I exported some mp3 from my Pianoteq recordings and played them on the speakers and I couldn't believe it.but I could increase the volume even beyond a bearable threshold and there is ZERO popping. I hooked them up and what do you know, they were pretty solid! However, there was a pretty vague volume level (still pretty quiet) at which the speakers started to pop, so I usually used headphones and eventually I moved speakers away from the VPC and used them for gaming (much better bass than the built-in monitor speakers). Some time ago I picked up $40 speakers from a thrift shop thinking if they're bad, I wouldn't be losing too much (tested them in the shop, they were playing). Using Kawai VPC1 (still working perfectly and I can't complain!) + Pianoteq STAGE v6.5.2 (I still like the sounds, hasn't grown old on me yet)
