MDrummer 15.02 is very glitchy and stutters for me...

[edkilp]

I updated to 15.02. Using MDrummer VST3i on Reaper 6.49. When I load a kit and push play to listen to it, it stutters at the beginning of each drum part. Stutters on the intro, plays to the first break, then stutters again. Like it's buffering at the beginning of each new drum pattern. I went back to 15.01 and the problem is gone. I'm using the same computer I've used for years.
Dell XPS 7100, AMD Phenom II X6, 1035T processor, 2.60 GHz, 64-bit, 16GB RAM. Windows 10
The change log says MDrummer got a complete remake for better performance, but I'm getting just the opposite here. Am I the only one?

Have you turned "Multi-Core" on?

[edkilp]

Multi-core is on by default.

Could it be something to do with multisample preload time or memory setting for multisamples?

Am I the only one?

Hi there, I'm also hearing stutters and glitches on the first play through of drum loops that require previously unused sounds/drums. This continues until, seemingly, all samples are loaded proper. I've been kind of used to the same in Kontakt so haven't given it much thought or investigation of why it happens or what can be done to alleviate it.

I hope someone can chime in about what to do. It bothers me when there's a shiny new version available and I can't use it lol.

I also might be getting some weird behavior in other plugins but I'm not totally sure yet. EDIT: Yeah, can't really repeat it. Changing the A-H presets in MTurboDelayMB seems a touch slow but that might not necessarily be an issue.

My problem seems to be what Tommy said. It's like the samples are taking a long time to load, although there is no indicator to confirm this. Even after a few minutes, I still get stutters when changing from one pattern to the next. It sounds like it's bottle-necked then tries to spit everything out at once. For some reason, I can't attach a WAV or Mp3 file here. It happens with both VSTi 2 and 3.

My Windows 10 PC has a CPU(Xenon) and GPU(RTX2080), 64GB of RAM, but the storage is HDD, so the same problems continues until it finishes loading. it settles down within 5~15 seconds.

My MacBookPro (2019 BTO) has a slower CPU(i9) and dGPU(AMD 5500M) but a faster internal SSD so the drums load instantly.

Prior to Ver 15, sound was never interrupted on either Computers, but I recall that load times were longer. ...maybe.

I have been using MDrummer for many years and I have never had a problem until now. The change log says this : "Complete MSoundFactory Sampler and MDrummer MultiSampler remake for major performance improvement especially for preloading and streaming." That is definitely not the case here. I hope Vojtech responds to this. And why can't we attach audio files in this forum?

Thanks, let's see if it works: https://voca.ro/1bmv4LBuO20I

Some kind of loading issue confirmed.

MDrummer, within MSF, just completely froze while loading. I was playing a sequence and changed a drumset. Had to close Reaper.
