SimulAnalog & normalizer VST

[Atheist]

Ok, I trying to participate in MKS's mixing contest and it's really amazing what you can get with guitarsuite and well tracked guitars,

but

guitarsuite is eating my CPU when the playback is stoped - as you probably now. So I tryed that normalizer vst - in a fist slot, in slot right behind TubeScreamer, in a slot behind TubeScreamer AND in a slot behind JCM900, with various noise levels, AC or DC - and it' does nothing!

Am I the onlyone with the problem?

Any sugestion appriciated!

PS now that I read it, the post sound like: "buhuhu help me" but it almost is

If it doesn't work maybe it is not a denormal problem.

More details please ? Cpu ? Host ? Project sample/bit rate ?

CPU is AMD 64 3000, I'm working in Cubase and it's happening in all combinations of 44/48 and 16/24.

Hmm strange - all Simulanalog plugins work perfectly on my Duron 1600 in Cubase.

Try to wrap them in Chainer or Energy XT.

Or use another host: Reaper (Freeware)

So...
Any updates ?
Is the problem solved or not ?

Use GNormal and set the signal type to 'Noise' and level to -150dB. This is in front of the GuitarSuite chain. Worked for me.

Normalizer = GNormal so if Normalizer doesn't work for him i don't think that GNormal will.

with various noise levels, AC or DC

There's a third option in GNormal which is simply 'noise'. That's the one that worked for me, not AC or DC.

i dont understand what he's trying to do, i'm guessing the normalizer plugin is a noise gate right? and he's saying guitarsuite is eating cpu cycles when the song is stopped, how is a noise gate going to help? does guitarsuite stop using cpu cycles when there is no signal running through it?

Read Normalizer's or GNormal's descriptions and you'll understand.

ahh i see, i've never had this problem, so i've never needed to shut off guitarsuite.

I think its just a CPU hog, four tracks of guitarsuite in real time was binding up Nuendo for me


thats why I just reamped them instead

I'd love to know a workaround though

What !!! ??? !!!

Just look how much CPU it needs on my old crappy Duron 1600 at 44100

4,6% with noise input:

And 5,1% with muted input:

[prowlergrig]

you can always just apply the effect over the track i guess...

sorry. I was away from my computer for some time - did some white washing job

I'll try all sugestion first thing in a morning.

weird, I am running a 3 gig P4
and when I put in guitarsuite on four tracks and sold the gtr buss it was all over

 

[Ermz]

Yes, that's the CPU spiking issue, which is why these normalizer applications exist, and consequently why we are discussing them in this thread.

It seams that GNormal set to noise solved the problem. It still takes a bit more cpu when not playing then playing, but I can work now. :happy:


Hey Mutant, what's your expiriece with that Reaper host?

And thanx for mentioning that Chainer - It looks like really useful stuff - i didn't know of it.
