Performance Testing...

[Guitarkeys.com]

Ok... Got the input working and everything seems fine.

Now: Took an sm57 and threw it in front of the stereo speaker feeding line one (yes I know, very controlled, high tech and scientific).

1x64

Selected that input as source for 24 input channels in SAC.
Engaged EQ (each freq off center), gate, compressors on each channel.
Engaged fx SAC echo/delay and SAC EQ (each freq off center) again on channels 1-8 (Demo).

Selected all of these to output to outs 1-8.

Monitors: (same as FOH except no fx)

Set up 5 monitor mixes (each channel again pulled from input one)
Engaged EQ, gate and compressors on each channel once again.
No fx in monitors.

Computer running 93 - 97% with zero buffers in or out.

I would never use all of this or run this at this high. Admittedly I did get a couple of dropped buffers when I opened Sonar just to see what happened, but don't think that really counts.

How does this compare with you guys, good, bad, so so.

Thanks,

Jamie
