I tried SAWStudio64 and I seem to be having problems with running it.
I tried both ASIO and HiPerf MME with various buffer sizes both hitting play with a blank timeline and activating Live mode... Doing this while watching Task Manager, I see one CPU climb after about 5-10s of timeline playback and max out that core. It stays pinned and never goes away. Trying to stop the playback in SAW (or deactivating Live Mode) causes a Forced Engine Shutdown. SAW will not close and must be shut down forcefully. Once that's done, the pinned core in TM settles down again and SAW can be restarted. Any playback however causes the same thing.
This is on Win7 Pro SP1, HP Z600 (dual x5550 cpu's - 8 cores displayed in TM - Hyperthreading disabled in BIOS), plenty of RAM with RME RayDat PCIe card.
I plan to try again after updating the driver for the RayDat. I may also try running Win7 updates if the driver doesn't help.
Since no one else seems to be reporting this behaviour I am wondering if it's something unique to my Win7 tweaks or this system.
I should mention, this is without any actual audio data flowing. The RAYDAT is connected to and clocked from another card via ADAT but there is no audio flowing and the timeline in SAW is blank. Samplerate (actual and session setting) is 48kHz. Mentioning this in case it's a problem with 'zero' data values.
