Love the sound, but sometimes 60 percent CPU on my Pentium dual core with 3 Gb Ram. - Yikes!
I'm wondering about the wave display window, Urs. Would it make any difference if that could be turned off?
Just a thought.
Just demo'd ACE

Did you try the lower quality settings? They make a big difference.

Oddly enough, there are vast differences in how a certain sound erm... sounds between low/normal/high settings!musikmachine wrote:Did you try the lower quality settings? They make a big difference.
So, if you think you've got a sound "right" when using ACE in the low setting, and then turn to "high" to render, it may not sound "right" any longer. Then what? Back to square "A".
Just saying.

If you want to use the high setting, then tweak the sound on the high setting, then you can record midi at a lower setting and render at high...

Oh well, not my problem really.

Sorry, no... the wave display runs in a low priority thread. It only updates when your cpu core has time for it.osiris wrote:Love the sound, but sometimes 60 percent CPU on my Pentium dual core with 3 Gb Ram. - Yikes!

95% of my work with Ace in the pads and textures department is done on draft or standard setting, and they sound (IMO obviously) ridiculously good. I see aboslutely no need to push it when it's not necessary. The biggest difference in sound that I can audibly hear most of the time is from draft mode to standard mode. Obviously it depends on the type of sound you're creating, but out of 230+ patches in the latest bank I worked on you won't find anything but maybe half a dozen or so on good or accurate mode. And yes, I do look to see if there is a severe sound quality difference, and I do so primarily by composing an entire track in draft or standard, and then flip them all to accurate or good and render various versions of both. For me, and for a major portion of the audio industry I presume, the final outcome is what matters most.

I must have overlooked the sound quality setting. What is the default? I do know there was an issue with 'ghosting' of the cables. I do like that you can choose the size. Brilliant! Something every software developer should implement if they can.

I believe the default is standard, but can't remember atm.

(1x oversampling, 44.1, Draft ect... dose sound better for some sounds!!!)
this sadly gets overlooked in the sound quality wars!!
i mean the so called "best" drum machines where no where near 32bit float!
these newer range of plugins where you can select this per instance/preset are great!!!
