To see more detailed information about both Core Load Indicators, Shift + Click on them to open the two CoreLoad debug Windows:Core Load debug WindowsIf the VST Core Load display looks anything like the screenshot above we recommend that you increase the VSTPlug-ins engine Latency value.In order to support some VST plug-ins which need a big buffer to be efficient (e.g. Algorithmix EQ Orange/Red,...)we recommend that you increase the VST Plug-ins engine Latency size up to 4096 smpl (samples) using theVST Plug-ins Engine Latencies slider in the AllSettings > Hardware > MassCore page.Note: this value can only be adjusted when no project is open.Important! If a Drop (glitch) occurs, the Core indicator will blink. Click on it to reset it.Note: This indication may be useful if, for example, you do a Realtime Mixdown orRecording and leave the Studio for a minute to get a coffee. If, on your return, you seethe Core blinking this would mean that you have experienced a drop, so that you probablyhave a glitch in you final mix or recording.Overload Diagnosis and CuresFirst determine whether the CORE indicator or the VST indicator is turning red during a glitch.If the MassCore (CORE) indicator becomes red during playback or recording you have exceeded the capacity of theworkstation. You should reduce the size of your project mixer and/or the amount of active plug-ins you are using,or try increasing the Max Mixer Delay Compensation slider value in the Mixer Settings page (Settings>AllSettings>Project>Mixer>MixerSettings). You may also try changing the buffered read and write settings of your.pmf files from within the Project>Record page under Format/(PMF)/Settings for projects with large numbers ofaudio tracks (approaching machine capacity for current sample rate).If the VST indicator becomes red you might want to increase the MassCore VST Plug-ins engine Latency slidervalue. The VST buffer size can be increased in order to support VST plug-ins that need larger buffers in order forthem to work efficiently. So, if you are experiencing VST Core Loads or Peaks (100%) we recommend that you setthe VST Plug-ins engine Latency value higher, it can go up to 4096 samples to help support certain VST plug-ins.Note that you can also monitor the VST Core load by Shift Clicking on the CORE % indicator, this will open theVST core load debug window. (See above) If you see spikes (red) during playback or an idle indicator then it maybe advisable to increase the VST Plug-ins engine Latency (Settings>All Settings>MassCore : VST Plug-insengine Latencies), this value can only be adjusted if all projects are closed within Pyramix.MassCore : Core Load Indicators 2 - 33
