The options compiled under "Performance" serve to optimally set up your system's
performance. You can see, among others, "ASIO silence economy" for switching off empty
or silent tracks with ASIO.
Multi-CPU support: Samplitude supports use of multi-CPU/multi-core/HT workstations
that distribute the load of various tasks across several processors. If you select the driver
system "MME" or "WDM", the audio thread editing will run mainly on the first CPU. Disk I/O
operations, graphics, and video implementation are processed by additional CPUs.
With "ASIO" activated as the driver system and dual CPU support, the mixer tracks and
their effects are distributed between the initial CPUs. Objects (including their effects),
integrated video material, and the graphics engine are distributed between additional
available CPUs. The program is currently optimized for operating with up to four cores.
If you own a system with multiple CPUs, you will be able to get higher performance from
your system for processing audio, provided that you activate this option. However, using
multi-CPU support can lead to incompatibilities with plug-ins that are specified for a set
track processing series.
ASIO priority boost: Among all threads of the application, special priority is granted to the
ASIO thread. This option is a preset and does not need to be modified. This increases the
reliability of your audio recordings as well as that of the playback.
Note: We recommend you deactivate this option for LYNX and TASCAM devices.
Switch off muted tracks when working with ASIO: Use this option to reduce the CPU
strain on your system. When muted, however, there may be some delays.
Switch off empty or silent tracks when working with ASIO – "ASIO silence economy":
Use this option to reduce the CPU strain on your system even more. This function can,
however, cause fluctuating CPU efficiency.
Switch off the "Hybrid Engine" when bouncing/exporting: If you activate this option, all
effects are calculated during the bouncing/exporting process using the faster "Economy
Engine". This can, however, cause irregularities when some plug-ins attempt to
compensate for latency.
Note: If you activate every option, you'll achieve maximum system performance. If you
deactivate every option, you'll achieve maximum compatibility.
