Re: Protools 12.XX performance optimization script and important tips!
So, the DPC latency monitor lets one know when there is an issue. It tells you which component was delayed due to a DPC. Am I correct in stating that it does not indicate the cause? (trying to connect an old thought from a few years ago.)

Re: Protools 12.XX performance optimization script and important tips!
Ha!!....
Just stumbled across this thread earlier, and I've just tried the script out.. It seems to have tightened up performance nicely on bigger sample heavy sessions that could get very laggy.. Thank you very much sir.. I was nearly thinking about buying a new computer.. |

Re: Protools 12.XX performance optimization script and important tips!
I have confirmed some benefit to using this script with w brand new Apollo X8 whereas I saw no benefit when using my old Presonus Firestudio units.
I have a feeling that the improvement varies based on the quality of the driver of the interface. Low latency performance on Apollo units is not stellar as far as native performance goes and setting priority to HIGH and affinity unchecking one core (core 0) helped in the skips and pops department and also gave me the best performance in my Gigabyte z170-hd3 system with an Alpine Ridge 2.0 AIC card. |

Re: Protools 12.XX performance optimization script and important tips!
Since we are talking about performance and optimization I'd like to throw in another part of the puzzle, "Disk Performance" both HDD and SSD uses with the OS and Audio drives.
In my new XPS 8930 I have the Intel 8086 CPU, 32gb of ram and for my C drive I have an Intel SSD (not my choice of brand, but what Dell installed). Currently I have PT 12.7 and other programs installed on this drive under windows 10. As a second drive I had Dell install a 2TB Seagate 7200 HDD which is a data - backup drive ( and PT Audio). I decided to test the performance of the drives and Using Crystal Mark disk test the Intel SSD shows about 2800 MB/s read and about 2500 write. The Seagate drive is coming in at about 200 MB/s read and about 120 write... As an experiment I put in a Startech 1x4 PCIE to NVME PCIE adapter and a Samsung 970 evo NVME M.2 SSD and I have to say, that thing cranks... it's giving a write speed of about 3300 MB/s and a read in the 2800Mb/s. Im dealing with dell on an issue of when I have to reboot but it is not affecting the use of this drive... That brings me to my real question... What is really needed and what is overkill. I understand that the C: OS -Program drive should be as fast as I can get it.. and that is why I chose the onboard PCIE ssd.... it cranks and everything loads up very quickly... but, What about an Audio Drive for DAW Projects, How Fast do they really need to be? For years I've used 7200 RPM drive with SATA 6.0 and have not really felt any problems... My projects are usually less than 32 tracks, plug ins and the like... My HDD at 7200 loads the projects no problem... As the experiment, I gave the PCIE 1x4 adapter and Samsung 970 a try and yes it is very fast... but if I used a SATA Samsung 860 SSD, would it really be that much of a performance hit over the PCIE 1x4... I guess I am just asking, in optimizing the system at what point does ProTools gain performance using faster SSD drives for audio and realistically is the difference of 550 MB/s and the Samsung 970 EVo PCIE SSD at 3300 MB/s. Yes, I know the faster the better but what is the limits of Protools and a system using the drives for record and playback of say 32 tracks...... If the 550MB/s 860 evo SATA going to handle about everything I need then why bother with the Samsung in the PCIE 1x4 adapter..... I could use that in another system for an OS. I guess it all comes down the throughput of the system vs the software. I do have copies of all the tests I have run on the system using Crystal Mark and the Samsung Magician if anyone is interested. Thanks for any replies... |
