Hello guys!
I recently bought Venice Strings and really love the sound of this library! Congratulations on the beautiful sampling
However, I have a serious cpu overload issue – even at large buffer sizes (256, 512) there are extremely many cpu spikes - the audio distorts so badly that the patch is not playable. It is enough to just play some simple chords to overload the cpu.
I have a 2018 6-core i7 macbook pro, thunderbolt audio interface, and it is the same behaviour in Logic, Reaper and Cubase. Multicore support in Kontakt is turned off.
This does not happen to me on the same system with most of the other libraries (spitfire, OT, CS2, Chris Hein, etc.) – they all play fine even at much lower buffer settings.
The only comparable experience I had was with 8dio strings, which were unusable due to these issues (I’ve read some users referring to them as badly scripted*).
The same did also happen with Light & Sound Chamber Strings, but turning off Time Machine in Kontakt remedied the issue completely.
However, I can not find such a button in the interface of Venice Strings.
So my question is: what am I doing wrong? Are other users experiencing the same? Are there some settings that can remedy this? Or is this simply such a beast of a library that a uber powerful computer is required to tame it? As the Venice Strings sound fantastic, I would really like to be able to use them.
So I would be very grateful for some insights. Thank you very much for your input!
*P.S. I do not mean to imply that Venice Strings are badly scripted or so and hope that the developers do not take offense! I am rather sure that I am doing something wrong (I am still new to all this sample based orchestration music thing and have almost no clue about the technical / scripting aspects)
