SAC (and Plugins) 64 Bit Version Bug Reports

OK... confirmed, I am able to duplicate the problem with no signal from any of the Monitor mixers... checking further into it now... FOH seems fine to all outputs... Monitor Mixers... no output to any device.

I am relieved to learn that Bob, I though I was going insane.

Same here. Spent hours going back and forth on different "solutions" Nothing. Funny that all the outputs work in FOH main but not on any of the Monitor outputs.

This problem has been fixed in V1.0b... just released online.

Sorry for the inconvenience... was a silly typo mistake in the monitor code section.

All good Bob and thanks, that fixed the monitor output bug However I discovered another bug this morning (my time). I use SAC and SAW in tandem 90% of the time in a studio environment. I tested this setup using the 64 bit versions with the SAC fix and found that whenever I hit the record button in SAW, I heard a single delay in the monitor output (in this case monitor output 1). The delay was not there when SAW wasn't in record mode. I tried changing SAW so it had no output channels to send to but this made no difference. I also tried different settings on the RME ASIO setup but none of this made any difference. Please check this and see if you have the same experience.

Cheers

Make sure you have the SAW Audio Monitor option set to OFF when working this way... you do not want SAW monitoring the record signal because you will be monitoring from SAC, and the two will not be the same.

Digital Distortion Gradual Buildup

I'm experiencing a gradual buildup of digital distortion. All runs seemingly fine for about 10 minutes or so, then the noise becomes apparent and gradually builds to pure continuous digital distortion.

Here's the setup...

PC - Windows 10 with Bob Tweaks and Molten Tweaks applied.
Behringer ADA8000
RME RayDat
SAC v1.0b
SAC set to Force Single CPU
SAC set to Force Realtime Priority
SAC set to Dither on
Running SAC as Administrator

48 Stereo Inputs
Channel Strip EQ and Lo Cut enabled - all 48 channels
Channel Strip Compressor enabled - all 48 channels
Native EQ Plug enabled - all 48 channels
Native Studio Echo/Delay on Return channel 1, enabled on all 48 channels
Studio Levelizer enabled on Output 1 & 4 (Compressor mode)

Load is ~40%
When the distortion begins and up to just before it's just pure noise, there are no slipped buffers. Eventually, if I keep things running, buffer slips begin.

What are the "Molten Tweaks"?

Thanks Bob, I will check. That sounds like the problem.
