Hi !

Sometimes, my computer is freezing usine GUI during 30 seconds or more. Audio engine still running without problem in this case. But I can't click on usine panels because windows "hourglass(?) egg timer ( ? ) icon appears.
When it freeze, CPU amount is big , so I've take a look into the process managment, but it seems that no tasks are running when this happens.
My notebook is dual core 2.0Ghz and I have check "dualcore optimisation" in the setup panel. I'm running usine under asio4all under vista.
I've no check if usine don't answer to midi control when it happens. I'll do it to see if it respond or not ( if it do, this not really a problem in live situation).

Anyone have this trouble? any tip?

Thanks.

Hi again, Moody

Same here, whith quite a different configuration. What I can say is that it happens when patching. I did not noticed this pb when playing, maybe it happens, but since I dont always look at my screen at that moment, I cannot be sure.
30 seconds would be a big gap!

did you try to deactivate the 'virtual memory'?

I'll try but it appears even if my RAM is at 25%. Virtual Memory is engaged only if RAm is full isn't it?
Another question, under vista, it's possible to set the priority of the CPU for "software" or for "task" ( tache de fond). What the best to choice for usine?

Up !

My first impression is that you should take a look on background services or installed hardwares.
I don't have the solution but on one of my computer I'm obliged to disable the CD-Rom in order to make my sound card work properly.
It was this kind of symptoms

Just experienced some kind off graphic problems with BETA6, just now

By changing the 'best block size' in the asio setup (from 128 to 64) not a good idea.

Even after restarting usine, the graphics was ...... very lag (some seconds between each updates), like if the graphic card was waiting for the sound engine.

I changed back the 'best block size' to 128 and returned to a normal state.

PS : my case is different from your's has i was already at 85% of memory usage and with some audio glitchs.

Hope it help

I think I have the same problem of panel freezing, the same as moody33 and martignasse. I do not think it is caused by a background service, the memory usage is only at 40%.
I worked on the same workspace (a big one) once running the old version 4.01e, once running the beta6. The bug appeared only on the beta6, and never happened on the previous version. Thought it is a big wkp (8mb) it was not lagging on the 4.01e. So it is not caused by a too slow computer speed. I did not change the config between the two versions.
Hope it can help.

ok, I'm gone work on this pb and send you alternate versions by mail.

Thanks Olivier.
It's still present on the beta6 I dowloaded yesterday.
But it's a good and fast and reliable release!

Thanks a lot.
Of course it is a good release ! This is not because the comments point out some drawbacks that anybody could say the contrary.

With the new version, no more crash. Wonderful ! Thanks !
