Performance
If errors occur during playback, you
have the following options:
Increase the VIP and HD buffer in the system dialog ("Y").
Zoom out to project full view ("A" button at position bar)
Deactivate the "Autoscroll" function in the playback parameters dialog ("P").
Reduce the number of displayed image elements of the VIP window in the
object display in virtual projects dialog ("Shift + Tab").
Bounce several tracks by mixdown and mute the original tracks.
Reduce the used real-time effects in the object editor or mixer.
Do not use plug-ins, since they increase the CPU load.
In Windows NT, the playback performance of the hard disk system is
particularly good if the corresponding files are played for the first time. So, if a
VIP with many tracks is not played perfectly, save it, close all windows ("H")
and open the VIP again. Now the NT file system performance is optimum
again.
It often helps to run two copies of Samplitude 11.5 Producer at the same time
(simply start it twice from the desktop). This allows you to work on an
extensive effect processing, a longer recording, the creation of a CD, or any
other unattended procedure, while working on another aspect of a second VIP
or project. When working on dual processor systems in Windows NT, both
instances use the full capacity of one of the processors. Even under Windows
95 this technique can be used to work more effectively. Make sure you disable
the option "Check space bar for playback…" in the system dialog ("Y") to
prevent the program in the background to stop any process.
Recording / Playback
The recording window can be displayed by pressing "R". The recording can
be started with "R" and stopped with "S" when the recording window is
displayed and active.
Playback can be started and stopped with the space bar. When stopping, the
play cursor returns to the original position. If the playback is stopped with "0"
on the numeric keypad, the cursor will stop at the current playback position.
Continuing to hold "0", while moving the mouse (scrubbing) can alter the exact
position.
