So you're asking if a 100 Mb NIC is going to help your CPU? No, it won't. That information is applicable to networked machines, not standalone DAWs. The speed of your network makes no difference whatsoever if you don't *have* a network.

It's pretty sad if you can't even run one instance of legacy cell. What are you running, a 3-year-old Celeron?

Another great post... thanks for the info.

Definitely going to look into expanding my audio workload into multiple computers as I have 30 or so laying around.

dont feel sorry for me


lol no i meant that i cant run more than one legacy cell in the SLAVE computer through my 100mb network. but even with one instance it lags. maybe there is something wrong with my network settings, 100mb should be enough for a few vsts.

^ Ah, okay, I misunderstood the original post when you said "FX Teleport won't do it for me"... you meant that it's not working properly for you.

The first thing to check out when you're using a slave is whether the glitches are in the entire audio stream or just in the particular instrument you're running off the slave. If the glitch interrupts ALL audio, then it's probably still a CPU issue. If it's just on the one instrument, it's a network issue.

Assuming it is a network issue and your CPU is stable on the master, what host are you using? You have to jump through a few extra hoops to get it working with a program like Fruityloops, for example, because it doesn't have automatic delay/latency compensation. You'll have to check the latency on FX Teleport and compensate manually with something like SampleSlide.

If you are using Cubase or you've done any necessary compensation, try monitoring the CPU on your slave and see if you're reaching 100%. That again should tell you immediately if the problem is with your network or if the slave simply isn't a powerful enough machine (Celerons, for example, just won't cut the mustard most of the time).

A 100 Mb network *should* be sufficient to run at least a handful of networked plugins (I used a 100 Mb switch originally). Are you sure that your master, slave, AND network switch are all 100 Mb capable, or is it possible that the slave is an old PC with a 10 Mb NIC?

If you've verified all that and are still having problems, then I suggest you run some network diagnostics because it isn't likely a problem with FX Teleport.

oh it makes sence now... i use fl so thats what it is. ill RTFM again. thats why i asked anyway to see if my network could be the problem, but since everynthing is in 100m (switch and modems) its prob. fls latency compensation.

Here's another tip to save CPU power:

Don't fall in love with a certain sound

If you have something that sounds great, but it takes up 50% cpu, try to recreate it in a more cpu friendly way, maybe with a different synth. Keep a mental list of synths and how much power they draw.

If it's actually possible to recreate the same sound on a different synth using less CPU then sure; I don't think it's necessary or good to compromise sound quality in order to conserve CPU.

I'm not talking about compromising on quality. Maybe the new sound you make sounds even better, even if it takes less cpu. The point is not to be afraid to change a sound. That's what I meant with "don't fall in love with it".

Ah, alright then, very good.

I kill everything.

Windows Explorer is for noobs.

Another great way to improve system performance.

Use a good simple utility like Autoruns, and when you want to produce, just turn a bunch of shit off you don't need, and then restart your computer.

Simple.
