Hi all!<br><br>I m running into a problem right that has to do with cpu consumption, but not with GUI. In my live guitar processing patch i use the core of Miller's Phase Vocoder patch for time-stretching. It records bits of what i play and time-stretches them.<br>
Now my problem is that it freaks out at times, the sound gets dirty like audio drop-outs, and this is correlated with higher cpu consumption. The thing is that I made my patch as carrefully as i could, that is with minimal GUI and no bangs blinking all the time, and switch~ objects to cut the audio within all the subpatches that are not in use at a certain moment in time. <br>
Also, my time-stretching subpatch works fine most of the time, in effect i can use it for two hours in a row without drop-outs. Yet sometimes it just freaks out. <br><br>So i was wondering, could this be my Fedora desktop that's messing things up? I have Fedora 12, rt kernel, with the standard desktop (which i guess is GNOME?). Would it make sense to try another desktop, like Xfce? <br>
<br>I read in a post somewhere that Miller uses a specific desktop which is very light and ideal for work audio work, but i can't find it now. <br>Any advice welcome!<br><br>Pierre <br><br><br>
