Which
plugins are you using in the session?
I use TAP plugins and SC4 a lot. :|
A datapoint here - I've been running into a lot of plugin/denormal issues
on some sessions I've been working on. I'll run a playback, and when I
hit stop, the system load would end up at 90-95%, and dropped to about 15%
when I hit play again.
I traced it to some EQ plugins, one from the swh collection that's part
of the Planet CCRMA distribution and another (3 band parametric) from the
TAP collection. When I substituted a different (and less flexible) EQs,
the problem went away.
OK, that does seem to explain some of my issues. It does not explain my 3
minute recording window, as that happens even with no plug-ins. However, the
fact that I am running on only 320M RAM may have something to do with that.
I see that the ardour site has a lot more information on it than the last time
I looked, so there is plenty of material and potential clues to come.
Thanks for all the pointers so far. It has really eased my sense of
frustration. :)
