Samplitude 7 and Waves v5.0 incompatible?

[J.C. Scott]

Just checked the Waves website and discovered the new v5.0 plugins don't
support Samplitude 7(or any version for that matter,) apparently. Bummer if
you're thinking about upgrading. However, it seems version 4 is compatible,
based on their compatibility chart. I wonder what gives?

[J.C. Scott]

I just got this e-mail back from the Waves support team as I was about to
write my reply:

"-------Use only this link to reply to Waves

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your email.
My name is Aylone Gordon at Waves Support Team.



Support for smplitude was dropped at version 5, sorry.

We don't know what will be in the future regarding smplitude at this time."

Oh you can use them and some of them will come up fine, but then there are
others you'll try to use (DX or VST) and when using them in multitracking, a
lot of them say they can't be run realtime, which is BS if you used v4.

This happens sometimes with V4..rarely and only with certain combinations of
functions.

I simply won't be upgrading, and plan on keeping with v4, I suppose.

Might have something to do with the Magix-Algorithmix relationship.

I have not upgraded to Samplitue 7 yet, but Waves 5 works in Samplitude 6
for what ever thats worth.

Wait and maybe v8 of Samplitude will fix any inconsistencies. A fact that I
hate because I just finally upgraded to 7.22 and have only just begun to use
it. Apparently I'm not moving from 6.04 for the foreseeable future, or at
least until I hear positive things about v8.

After fiddling around a lot, I've discovered that at least some of the
problems I've been experiencing with the v5 plugins seem related to the ASIO
drivers in some capacity. When I switched to the WDM drivers in Samp, it
didn't give me the error regarding realtime playback (using the SoundShifter
P plug, in particular, would facilitate this) although the sound was
completely choppy, and it basically made my computer sluggish as hell, which
resulted in hardly being able to move the mouse. In any case, as crazy as
it may sound, after switching back to the ASIO drivers, I noticed many of
the errors I was getting aren't there anymore(reacts the same as the WDM
drivers now.) I'm at a loss to explain why switching from ASIO to WDM then
back again would make any difference but I can at least use a good majority
of the v5 plugs without any complications now, or so it seems for now
anyway.

Adjust the Samplitude buffers and Trackspeed settings. You should be able
to get Samp 7 running smoothly with either tons of tracks or with fewer
tracks but more than just a few plugs. Most plugs today aren't really all
that CPU hogging, so I'm not sure what problem to look at first, but
certainly I use multiple instances of VST reverbs and compression without
much more than 20% CPU utilization on maybe 16 tracks or so. But you may
want to group some of your FX so as to save some of your CPU. I had some
initial choppiness with ASIO on my RME when I first moved to Samplitude 7,
but it was easily managed with a little more latency in the RME. I'd have
to do some looking to see what I ultimately set it up as, but if you want, I
can do so. You didn't mention, however, which audio unit you were working
with, so it could most certainly be your ASIO drivers if you're using a MOTU
2408 or similar, for instance. I have two audio computers and the Motu
based one doesn't do ASIO well, so I only use emulated WDM (actually the
older driver model that emulates WDM without actually being WDM). On the
A64, however, even the older RME 9652 has rock solid ASIO performance if you
don't need 4 MS of latency. And I haven't started tweaking my XP/A64 system
yet, so I may well be able to get even better response while keeping latency
down.

If there's anything specific I can help with, hit me with an email.
Otherwise try the Alt.sekd samplitude newsgroup.

Thank you for the response, Roger. It's much appreciated. I just got
through reading your message so I'll give your recommendations a try in a
bit. Again, I do appreciate you taking the time.
