Improving the compressor and env follower accuracy?

it's the drawback of 'BLOC calculation' in all modular soft.
Conceptually we can't do any thing but as 23FX said, reduce the bloc size to 32.
set the setup/asio/refresh speed can also improve accuracy.

reducing bloc size in preferences to 32 samples will improve the time rounding that could occur and being noticeable
if on 128s default value. at 128s, you get a 3ms precision, at 32 you get 0.7 ms precision.
in vst version i think you should try Vst buffer of 0samples and blocsize of 32, then close and reopen the project.

You mean an oscilloscope built in to usine, or a 3rd party plugin? Well no, i haven't analyzed the situation in any way. I just noticed that both the envelope follower and custom-draw compressor both had problems, so i decided not to risk using usine for these things.
But those were the main reasons i was interested in usine, so i was hoping i just set something up wrong.

I only want to use it as a vst plugin, so i don't want to be tweaking lots of different settings just to get a stable envelope follower.
I might try the oscilloscope sometime, if i have the time, and tell you the result, but if you can't think of why this is happening, then maybe usine just isn't a good option for a vst plugin on my computer.

ps: the compressor is only slightly inaccurate. I notice it mainly on the attack, with heavy compression, but the follower is unusable.

mm, strange
have you tried to link 2 oscilloscope:
one from the audio source out
and one from the envelope follower module out

just tried here with a sampler and the piano note sample, no difference each time..

Was just wondering, is there a quick and easy way to improve Usine's accuracy? I notice that when i assign the audio envelope follower to a parameter, it sounds very random and not accurate.
I mean, if you loop the song over a bar, and let it play, the envelope follower never sounds the same on each pass. Even when the follower has minimum attack/release, it still sounds inconsistent. I have the same problem with the drawable compressor.
I thought it might be a problem in some settings, but i tried adjusting latency and other things, but the problem remains.

I have many other plugins with envelope followers, and they are perfectly accurate, so is there an option that you think is most likely to fix this problem?

Thanks.
