Having serious tech issues.]]> Used DPC, got a max latency of 2808 with Directsound and 1886 with Mbox. The program says both of these are fast enough to handle streams without dropouts.
Restricted Reaper to one CPU, didn't appear to affect anything.
The "Show VST" issue I mentioned only appears to affect items in the synthesis pack, so no big issue I guess.
PrimeTest and MemTest both seem to require a certain amount of time that I don't have the luxury of expending right now. I'll try those out later.
And I have 4GB of RAM.

If all of the above comes up clean, try resetting Reaper to defaullt settings?
Oh, btw how much ram in your system? If you have 2GB or less for windows 7 I could se you running into problems quite quickly.

Try to run this tool to look for a device or program who can cause problems :

DPC Latency checker

First, I can't use it as a stand alone because whenever I close it, it blue screens. I spoke with Olivier about this issue before, and it seems to have something to do with my interface drivers (Mbox2). This is fine. I can live with just using it as a plugin.

I've been using it as a VST in Reaper. Usually it will work well for about 20 minutes before I start running into issues. I downloaded the synthesis pack and started playing with it. I found that if I open one of the VST interfaces with the "open VST" button, then press the same button again to close it, the plugin won't respond anymore. I have to close down the whole session. After a certain point, Everything freezes up and I just have force quit Reaper. This is in a session that's completely empty except for Usine.

Can any of you offer tips, how to get better performance, get it to play nice with Reaper, anything like that? I'd really like to be able to use Usine reliably as part of my music.

Best,
-Zach

EDIT: Should mention. I'm on Windows 7 64-bit, but I run Reaper in 32-bit.
