Very slow to activate/deactivate DSP

[Matt Hepworth]

I see very long waits sometimes when duplicating a track or switching in our out of green DSP mode.

This is definitely plug-in dependent. The best plugs will allow multiple channels to come in and out in 1-2 seconds. The worst will be 5-8 minutes for just one bad plug across each of 8 channels.

So Dave Derr reached out to me on Gearspace about this issue. He wants me to do some testing and see where the problem is. I still think its a plug-in specific problem as apposed to a Carbon specific problem. Avid, Sknote and McDSP seem to work fine. I'll keep you all updated

I've replied to Dave too, but without a Carbon they're going to struggle to find this. I mean, with a Carbon it's a 5 minute job to reveal the problem. Without one, I have no idea what they will do.........

Just got an email back from Dave and it looks like they reached out to Avid for help. They should have a new beta up in a couple of days for us to put through its paces.

Latest beta fixes it. 16 mono Arouser's switching from Native to DSP in under 5sec!! Amazing. This took over 10 min before the latest beta

EDIT: Dave emailed me this morning, so I was being impatient with my comment below. Arouser LT also works well now.

Well, I'm disappointed that I got no communication from Dave or Empirical Labs, but very pleased this works so well. Super quick switching. Thanks for your update.

I hope Avid can pass this secret on to Brainworx, assuming they ever get round to doing AS Native AAX-DSP updates.
