using waves 3.5 with dual processors
how it´s working? the new update should work in both processors, but if ptle doesn´t work, how it´s going???
any dual+waves 3.2->3.5 owners? i just love my wonderful english skills.. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] , is it in or on both processors..?? [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] |

Re: using waves 3.5 with dual processors
I use a G4 500MP, and the 3.5 upgrade DOES make a big difference. Get it now!

Re: using waves 3.5 with dual processors
We have noticed a preformance increase using Waves 3.5.
Double up those reverbs? Yup. Multiple C4s with a Linear Broadband EQ? all good. Its hard to say if the jump in performance is due to the general plug -in acceleration that Waves indicates in the release notes. Or if Waves reporting "Better Dual Support" is why. It may be a combination of the general acceleration and the "Better Dual Support" Whatever it is, its extreamly cool that Waves is a company that doent gouge its customers at every turn. Free upgrade..cant beat it. Right

Re: using waves 3.5 with dual processors
Source from Waves tells me that having no dual processor support in PTLE means Waves plugs won't take advantage of dual processors either under the DAE in Pro Tools. So the higher amount of Waves plugs in PTLE is not the direct result of "Better Dual Support." As commented, the 3.5 is much improved for plugin-count performance, albeit without taking advantage of dual processor support. Of course, it is presumably even THAT much better using both processors, say in Logic, for example. Hope this helps. Looking forward to Pro Tools getting truly dually.

Re: using waves 3.5 with dual processors
forgive me if I'm wrong but isn't a plug-in just another application the runs as a hidden background process and leeches RAM off the host application ?
If the speed gains are really significant it suggests that the plug-ins probably ARE dual CPU aware even in protools. I'm assuming if protools was fully dual cpu aware that it would mean any plug-ins could take advantage of the second CPU without the manufacturers adding any Dual CPU specific code to the plug-ins. The more plug-ins and software synths that have altivec and dual CPU support the better as far as I'm concerned, it really leaves you're options open when choosing a new mac or upgrading the one you're already using for better performance. |

What I meant was, I assume a Plug-in is an application in itself only it doesn't behave like usual ones do because it shares the RAM allocated to protools and only protools can see it. This could mean it might have optimisations such as Altivec and dual CPU support even though protools doesn't. There's been software synths for quite a while now that work with protools but still have they're own Altivec and Dual CPU optimisations. I didn't think it would take this long for people like waves to do the same thing for RTAS plug-ins. On the subject of waves, there's an article in SOS this month on multiband compression, I don't suppose Waves offer their plug-ins as individual products instead of those pricey bundles ? |

Your reasoning in extrapolating RAM sharing to LRPHBPA (a.k.a. misbehaving plugs that defy the host app.) is interesting. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] |
