Hey everyone, I’m curious about how resource management works in the Global Rackspace. I mostly handle my instrument processing there, but I’m often only using one or two instruments at a time — even though more might be loaded. Here’s my main question: If there’s no audio flowing into a plugin c…

Its definitely running more smoothly at 128. Thanks for the advice and guidance y’all. :). Still getting some pops but way better now.

[image] SparkleBear: Does anything like that happen automatically Nothing happens automatically on the GP end of things. Certain plugins are coded to reduce processor usage when idle, but there’s no standard for such things.

[image] SparkleBear: If there’s no audio flowing into a plugin chain, does it automatically idle, or do I need to manually bypass plugins to reduce CPU usage? Well coded plugins do not consume CPU when no Audio needs to be processed.

Great, simple… I do a mute/engage system between my instruments… so I can make a widget link that will bypass chains to maximize the resources.

Or you think about using multiple instances of Gig Performer to spread over different cores of the CPU.

Multiple instances on the same computer? How is this achieved? I do have a lot more cores now. [image]

Here it is documented: Multi-instance support Multi-instance support means that you can run Gig Performer multiple times on the same computer, with each such "instance" operating independently.

Incredible implementation. Im constantly impressed by so many aspects of GP. :clap: This brings me to my next question: is it possible to expand the channel count of the relayer? I find this a supremely helpful module and wish it had double the channels!!. ALSO, is there any reading resources that…

Each instance of Gig Performer uses a different core. Some plugins like Kontakt or Diva support Multi Core usage - you have to enable that feature within the plugin. By the way, what Sample Rate and Buffer size are you using? What is your Audio Interface?

I do all my live sets in 44.1k and have been experimenting with lower buffer rates. I couldnt really go lower than 64 on my old standard m4 mini. Generally 32 on the new machine but have been trying out 16. Definitely will glitch out sometimes at 16. I’m using RME UCX II. Doing a lot of the routing …

Why are you so concerned about the latency?
