I work with a very large template and VEP. Two servers, and on local server on the same system as my master. The only VSTi's in my project are the VEP server plugins of which there are about 25-30, everything else is a midi track with a handful of audio tracks. I get no pops and clicks on playback, and latency is pretty low (though the problem I'm about to describe does seem to care about latency).
Here's the problem. Any time I relocate the play head, press play, edit a midi region, move a midi note, etc, I get a massive delay before Cubase actually performs the action. An example, when I press play there's a very long delay first, and then once it finally starts playing, the playhead stutters and starts and stops, even though I can HEAR playback just fine. Stopping playback is also very delayed.
I have noticed that if I connect less VEP instances that the problem goes away, but I've heard of folks with many instances and no problems, so is that really it?
Last thing, I've noticed that whenever I relocate the playhead, a bunch of midi data gets sent through the VEP instances and all midi tracks show activity. This appears to be related to the delays I'm seeing, but I can't prove or disprove that. But maybe all that data being sent every time I perform any action is related?
Any help would be appreciated!
