Pro Tools 2024.3 vs 2023.12 performance at 2048 sample buffer
This is a quick first test during which I'm playing back the same chorus of the same song on the same M2 Pro computer but using two different versions of the software. The newer version should offer better performance since it now utilises the efficiency cores as well. Notice the 12 cores showing up in stead of only eight in the previous version. Also..... notice what the CPU meter is saying.
Well.... that was unexpected.

    This desk would be the absolute best price to performance if A&H would allow the compressor attack to scale all the way to 0s with a shorter release time as well. I wonder what their rationale is, as there are plenty of percussive channels that could benefit from such an option. Everyone yell at A&H for this as I don't like resorting to a Yamaha unit when I need those particular transients.

    Is RMS recommended for vocals? I thought peak was the way to go

    • @studio1on151
      @studio1on151 Год назад

      I don't think there's necessarily 'a way to go' because there's the technical/theoretical side and then there's taste. By all means, toy around with peak compression on vocals to see f it does what you're looking to do! I personally pretty much never use peak compression, to the point where I almost forgot it was even a thing. That doesn't mean peak compression could never help me, but it means I get by fine with RMS compression alone. I do use peak limiters when mastering, but not typically in a live environment, unless it's for a stream or a recording, perhaps. I find that on vocals RMS compression usually gives a result that does what I want to do without artefacts that annoy me, that's a big plus. :) Hope this helps!

    So, I think the important question is how precise are the adjustments you can make with a touch screen? I am not so sure about volume tweeks, or plugin adjustments. How sensible are this devices?

    • @studio1on151
      @studio1on151 3 года назад

      Certainly precise enough for normal DAW work. Then there's ways to fine tune. You can put the faders on extra sensitive mode (larger movement for the same level change. You can use modifiers (CMD/CTRL) on PT if I recall correctly, to do the same with plugin parameters. I must say, that with or without touch screen, for extra fine repeatable adjustments to plugin parameters, I usually enter the value in via the keypad. I find that easier than doing it with the mouse, trackball, trackpad or touch screen. But all of them work fine. Regarding touch screens... if you're working on a small touch laptop or an iPad, I can understand that it could be difficult to make sensitive moves or adjustments, but if you use a larger touch screen say 27" like mine, I don't find any issues with being precise. If you do, you can buy a 32", 49" 55" or whatever size you want ;) I think 27" is the bang for buck sweet spot.

      Yes I am. I still think it's the best bang for your buck. I find it incredibly useful and a good investment. I personally don't miss physical faders, but you could add them if you wanted to. I personally prefer having the touch screen, computer keyboard and mouse/trackpad close to me. I don't want to put faders in between that. I also like that it's easy to but a touch screen on a ergonomic arm (I use ergotron). That way, if you play an instrument, you can pull the 'console' (touchscreen) closer to you, so you avoid leaning over etc. I'm using the touch screen in my recording studio and in my home (bedroom) setup. It's the most ergonomic choice for both situations.

    I've eagerly awaited for the results of your build going the AMD route. I really like the idea that it is the best value per performance and wanted proof from your sample that it would work out. I did reach out to the guy at pcaudiolab who seemed to be very receptive to communicate through email. I offered to buy time from him to help me through a proper build, but discovered that he wasn't really reading my emails because it always turned into him building it for me. I made the plunge by myself and felt safer going the intel route. I used the i9 9900k, with a Gigabyte Z390 Designare w/TB3, 64 G of ram, two M.2 NVMe and two SATA drives. also an inexpensive GPU so I could run a second monitor. There were a few stumbling blocks. Mainly when I first installed an inexpensive Windows 10 key and everyone advised me to just pay for a legit Windows 10 pro key. Removing the first one that I installed put me back more than a day to figure out how to get it removed. In the end, the new Quantum 2626 and Studio One 5 are very excellent!! .5 ms latency in and .7 ms out so I can finally use VSTs without any troubles. I have yet to overclock it or speed up the ram. I've just been enjoying it. Hope you are having success.

Took quite a bit of time to edit those first ones. The next ones should be easier. No regrets though, I've been super busy too, so I've had little time to make music. So no losses there. I will have some time in the fall and winter, so I am looking to get this build done ASAP. Currently, however, I'm three weeks into a rather farcical email exchange with AMD support who want proof of purchase and installation before they send me an older processor that I need to update the BIOS on the motherboard.... That on its own is cumbersome and annoying enough, but it does appear that my contact at AMD is unable to open my JPG/PDF attachments, whether I attach them, zip them or wetranser them.

So far I can record at 44.1 with a buffer of 16 (the lowest) with a Focusrite scarlett 3rd gen testing interface, dropout protection at minimum. 128 seems to be more stable. I am getting pops and cracks however with a browser open at the same time (youtube) even at 1048. Don't have this problem with Logic Pro. Had a drop out tracking guitar once so far in Studio One, very strange. Ran a LatencyMon on my system which was inconclusive. Sometimes it says no issues and other times it displays issues, eventhough there was no drop outs. Next up - Cubase to see how well it performs. Tracking intermittent problems is a pain in the ass sometimes. Hopefully you get your system up and running soon! Can't wait to see how it performs for you. For now I'm going to do more tests.

Been using Apple since 2008 for audio work. Have a Win7 machine for visual/graphic/video work, and that's flawless. I think Win7 was better for audio then Win10. Seems Microsoft wanted to make Win10 constantly "alive" which isn't great for us DAW users. But I believe and hope there's a way around this since I really wanna give up on Apple and move back to Windows for way more options and freedom. Based on the comments over at Gearslutz with a little bit of tweaking we can have a pretty powerful pc for half the price of the damn MacPro.

PT and S1 are my main DAWs though, the former more than the latter, but the balance is shifting a bit. Thanks for the interest, I hope to release the next one within a week!

So don't buy it if you're looking to pair it with this motherboard. At least, it doesn't with my RAM, but I very much doubt it would fit with lower profile RAM. The quest continues   Shucks.

    OK, my Quantum 2626 is on the way and I'm stoked to get my pc shopping list together. The X570 ITX/TB3 coupled with the Ryzen 3900x or 3950xt looks ideal. Are there any serious reasons not to start there? Can too many cores be too complicated for Studio One to deal with? Is 16 cores going to be that much better than 12? Are there any definitive answers yet?

    • @studio1on151
      @studio1on151 4 года назад

      Honestly, I don't know. I spend most of my time in Pro Tools, but I'm starting to work a little more in Studio One, especially for composing. I've been busy and a little ill the last few weeks, so I haven't even fired up the computer yet. I hope to get to that next week. So I can't tell you how well this is all going to run. It will all depend on your application, though. Here's my gut feeling: For the way I work, my 2010 6-core Mac Pro is usually sufficient. It can just get away with recording at 96k 64 buffer, sometimes need to go to 128 buffer. The 3950X has double the single core performance of that chip and 4x the multi core performance. I'm pretty confident that will give me the desired headroom to be able to record in 96k / 64 buffer comfortably. Mind you, I typically don't use a lot of plugins when I record. If you need the very best single core performance (which is apparently beneficial for low buffer performance), then i7/i9(X) can still be king, with potentially a ~20% gain in CPU performance. Whether that results in a similar real world gain, I cannot tell you. I'm betting on it not being that significant to me, and a 100% increase over my old machine will be ample for me. Here's my hunch from the information I've found: low buffer recording situations with or without VIs generally benefit from higher clocks and single core performance. Higher buffer, more paralel tasks like mixing, can lean more and more into the many cores. But I don't think you should read that as 'so ONLY single core matters for recording'. It's a combination. I think it's safe to say that, if you're talking about processors with the same single core performance, a ten core one is going to give better performance and low latency than a 4 core one. The balancing begins when you notice that the more cores you get, the more the clockspeed seems to taper off and with it the single core performance. There might be a point where the penalty in single core speed involved with higher core count of the processor, starts to hinder you in some parts of your workflow, while it helps you in others. It's not my field though, so in the end I'll just have to wait and see too. From what I've seen, these 3900X and 3950X processors seem to perform really well. I took the 3950X because I have a pretty exceptionally power hungry mix process because of the many paralel processes involved. Imagine your mix bus and mastering chain x 20. So I decided to go 16 core. At some point, the less I have to keep (re)freezing, the faster I can work. It's worth it for me. I think that for most people, however, the 3900X is more than enough. Hope this helps a little. In the end I can't really advise you, I can just sort of show you my notes. With a big disclaimer of 'this is what I THINK is about right'. :D

      I've read some things that the AMD TB3 implementation doesn't always work well for audio interfaces. But I've also read somethings where it does work fine. I decided to take the risk, but it is a risk. If you want to be safe, go Intel. We'll see if I fire mine up, if it will work well with my Quantum 2. So we're kind of in the same boat. You could hold out your order a little until I get the chance to fire mine up, but I cannot guarantee I will be able to do it within a fortnight. I sure intend to, but things are a little crazy right now. It's at your discretion. If I were you I'd do some heavy googling on quantum and 570 TB3 and see if you see any succes stories.

      @@musicjimbutler That one is rather new, but I do remember finding some people using older gen Quantums like I am. There were mixed results, but apparently, as long as you use specific (startech) TB-TB3 convertor and cables, it seems to work okay. So that's what I bought and we'll see. The upside to the 2626 is that it's TB3 out out the box, so you don't need any conversion step, potentially causing problems. Doesn't guarantee it will work, but still. If Quantum and Quantum 2 work, the 2626 is likely to work too. As always, zero guarantees in audio though.

    Your video caught my attention this morning. Assuming I will come into some cash later this month, it's time for me to update my computer and interface. I also have never built a computer and have been researching what will work for me. I have my heart set on the Presonus Quantum 2626 (it's preordered) which will require Thunderbolt 3. Sweetwater sales people have tried to talk me out of doing this on a PC suggesting that I buy a Mac Mini from them........ I'm not going for their answer, despite their greater knowledge on the subject. They say there are glitches and troubles to be expected. I've been wondering about the AMD choices (being a better bang for the buck) and I see on the comment before mine from "all kinds of things" that he recommends Intel. pcaudiolabs (on youtube) says that AMD will work, but did not specifically mention TB3 issues. Hopefully, I can learn the right choices to make.

      Hi Jim! Thanks for your reply! I'm in a similar situation. I NEED thunderbolt since I run a HD Native system at my studio and a PreSonus Quantum at home. I'd been on the fence about Intel vs AMD for a long time too. For the longest time I though I'd pay a little more for the 'peace of mind' of Intel, but AMD's processors started to really draw my attention away from Intel. When I saw I could have native TB3 support on AMD now too, I began to seriously consider taking a chance on AMD. You can buy a 16 core AMD for the same kind of money you can only buy a 12 core for at Intel. Granted, if you buy a 2.5k Mac Mini or iMac, you pretty much KNOW that it will work. But with 2.5k you can build a PC that will be MUCH more powerful than a 5-6k iMac. I decided to take that chance. If you're not in a rush, perhaps you can wait for me to get to the point of actually having my system running. I'll certainly test whether it will work well with my Quantum 2 and my HD Native via a Sonnet Thunderbolt chassis. Both will go through a TB3 to TB2 conversion stage too. Fingers crossed!

The results without any performance tweaks are impressive. So far, I'm a happy camper. Stay tuned.

      AMD has known issues with regards to thunderbolt audio interfaces. Also if you are going AMD you have to be very picky about memory which also have an impact on low buffer size regarding click and pops.The memory should be specially optimized for AMD and at the same time be supported by your motherboard. I saw in your comment below that you have decided on AMD. There are known issues with Presonus Quantum on thunderbolt AMD.

      A ryzen 3950x with 3600mhz optimised corsair lpx ram ram will outperform a 10900k by a lot at 256 buffer size which is fine. You can also drop to lower buffer sizes. Intel performs a bit better at 64 buffer, but at 256 or more the 3950x will be almost 30 to 40 percent better than the i9 10900k. Just make sure to het the optimised ram pack. Also the x570 taichi montherboard has a thunderbolt 3 header to add asroccks thunderbolt 3 card. And it works with thunderbolt 3 interfaces well. Check out scan 3XS pro audio. Amd has improved a lot, trust me. Especially the 3950x. Edit: and when the new gen amd series cpus come out, the latency performance will be even better. You can just upgrade the cpu with the taichi motherboard.

      Hi and thanks for your reply! I have tried Bitwig and it's got some great things going on with multitouch, especially in the note/audio editing and creation department. Where I feel it's lacking is in the mixer department. I keep waiting for them to bring out an updated, mature mixer, but I haven't seen one yet. That said, there's not one DAW in existence that does all parts of my workflow best, it's always a compromise. It's a matter of picking the one that does most crucial things best for you, or using different DAWs for different parts of your production workflow. So far, nothing beats Pro Tools for me, although there have been times that I desperately wished for an alternative. Even though PT has many flaws, I didn't find an alternative that checked all of the necessary boxes for me. But that pertains only to me and my highly specific workflow, needs and wishes. I do however own a Studio One Pro license and I will be toying around with doing the songwriting/production part in Studio One and the mix in Pro Tools. Bitwig is also definitely a candidate to compose/produce in. Its multitouch implementation is definitely miles ahead of Studio One's, which is lacklustre at best.

      Sure. A touch screen just requires a normal connections plus a USB connection for the touch part. Bear in mind that MacOS doesn't natively support touch so you need a driver. the DTouch software I use, comes with a driver. Raven comes with a driver. Another option is a driver called Touch Base (which has gesture support you could setup to match Mac's touch pad gestures). Also, it looks like some touch sceens are starting to ship with MacOS drivers. Haven't tried that myself. If you're on any modern windows version, it will just work on its own.
