Hello The obvious first: what are the source channel counts? 30 stereo is ok for non-ssd, but even that is pushing it if they are all playing…
For info, I had similar flow and channel count in a piece in Reaper, cohabitating with 12 cheats (point-sources) with a similar number of source... all of them decoding via jack audio in Max and there was no issue at all, on a laptop. But I was on SSD so disk access was no issue, and most sources were 8 channels and lower before panner… > On 18 Oct 2021, at 20:10, Tom Slater <slater...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi everyone, > > I wanted to get an idea of your experiences with Reaper running large (ish) > ambisonic sessions. > > I mostly work in 3rd order ambisonic and use the Blue Ripple plug-in suite > and Rapture 3D Advanced for decoding. > > I’m decoding to a 25.2 channel speaker array and could have up to 40 odd > tracks, each with a 3rd order encoder/panner on. > > When I reach about 30 tracks Reaper performs very badly - laggy response > when moving play head around, lots of clicks and pops when muting/soloing, > random clicks and pops when just playing the session.
