I downloaded GP 5-5.1.1 today and installed. And now I’m getting audio breakups in every scenario. The CPU percentage shows the same as it has in all prior versions with my Rackspaces and variations. I use this for guitar and NeuralDSP plugins. I’ve been on the latest NDSP plugins for a bit with no issues. But I can’t get a basic clean scale to play with this version of GP 5.
I don’t see a way to download the prior version of GP 5 and reinstall. But I need to roll back to 1) verify this is the 5.1.1 problem, and 2) get back to playing.
Anyone know how I can get the prior 5.0.x and roll things back? Or contact GP (which I’ve not had to do before) for getting the prior version and rolling back?
Legacy downloads are always available so you roll back easily.
That said, we would like to know more about your setup to see what’s going on. GP 5.1 has been in use by a number of people for several months during testing and we have not seen any reports like this.
Please describe your setup (computer, OS, audio interface and so on) in detail. Did anything else change around the time you installed this update?
You’re welcome but please keep us informed so we can determine what might be going on. You did not provide us with the inform about your system or any other changes.
I’m using GP for NeuralDSP Archetype X plugins (Rabea X, Petrucci X, Wong X)
My audio interface is a Scarlet FocusRite 18i (it’s getting old, I guess)
Sampling Rate is 96KHz and I set it to 512 samples for 5msec latency. I did try backing it down to 48KHz, reseting the audio interface, getting it back up to 96KHz and I have the same issue (even after reboot)
In GP I also add Artura Chorus-D plugin and the Valhalla DSP plugins for delay and reverb
I’ve not changed anything lately on my plugins or other software
I’ve downloaded the prior version. I’ll try that out and report back. When running the NeuralDSP standalone version I’m not getting any audio issues.
Also, I looked at the Activity Monitor for GP and it does show 2 asserts, and the fault count continuously goes up. I’ve never had to look at the GP activity before so I don’t know if this is normal or not. At 7 minutes it shows a fault count of 2235428 and it keeps rising on every stat refresh interval.
I downgraded and things are better. But I’m still hearing a problem. So something else must have also changed. I guess I need to go hunting this down. This might take me a while .
Ok, I think I see what may have happened. When I upgraded it “appears” that a plugin I have on the global rackspace became unmuted. Or, I somehow did something that caused it to become umuted. I don’t go onto my global rackspace…well…it’s been a while.
Regardless, the plugin is the iZotope RX 7 Spectral De-noise. It’s an old version of the plugin; I haven’t updated it because apparently the actual plugin hasn’t changed in a long while (so why pay to upgrade?). However, the CPU didn’t seem out-of-place but when I went through all plugins, then to the global, I saw the plugin unmuted. I did some various tests and that seems to be what was causing audio issues for me.
I’m still on 5.0.4 right now and I’m not hearing any issues. I do have other instances of that plugin running unmuted and they are all fine. This one I had set to 25msec for the FFT window. That’s what I run in others. But maybe it was just too much and CPU utilization didn’t make me notice anything?
I’m upgrading to 5.1.1 again and retesting things.
Ok, I upgraded with that plugin disabled. It all is fine now. I even went in and enabled that plugin again and it’s all fine now. Hmmm…I’m thinking there may have been some setting mixup with this plugin. And when I disabled/enabled etc. etc. it reset things.
Perhaps I should consider updating that set of plugins.
But, all is good now! Thank you so much for all the help!!
