editbrain Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 (edited) I did not create this template. I wish I could say who did. Instructions: open the song. try to play the loop. if you cannot, you should start to mute the tracks from the bottom up until the song loops a couple times. Here it is: SculptureBenchmark.lso.zip Edited June 21, 2007 by editbrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

editbrain Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 sorry. just got a new SonicWall and I haven't added exclusions. It stripped the file. That was a quick reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin-Ch Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 40 instances of Sculpture in one song! My G4 doesn't even want to think about playing this. Any chance of an audio clip so I can hear what I'm missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editbrain Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 I will edit the first post to explain how to use this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterboy Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I ran (15) channels and looped it a few times without maxing out the Core Audio. When I went up to (16) channels, I got to the end of the region before I receiving the error message! I don't know a whole lot about this kind of thing - but is that bad? I have a MacBook - 2 Ghz Core-Duo w/ (2) GB's of RAM I am kind of upset that I wasn't able to get more power. What kind of machine would be able to run all (40 ) instances - or is there such a machine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editbrain Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 15 sounds about right for that machine. my G5 gets 17. there is an explanation on the apple discussion on how the polyponic blah blah blah works on this benchmark. search the apple forum.

Bow Rekk Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Haha! I managed to get to 21 before an audio dropout. I changed the buffer from 64 to 256 and got to 27 before it happened again! I have a c2d macbook pro 2.16. I'm pretty pleased although the bloody thing was clicking the whole time probably due to the 10.4.10 update.

fader8 Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 What kind of machine would be able to run all (40 ) instances - or is there such a machine? We played with this song last year: http://www.logicprohelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=5034&start=120 I got 29 tracks comfortably. If I went higher it was hit or miss. Be sure to bypass any Sculptures your not using. Don't just mute the tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waterboy Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 What d'ya know? I changed a couple of things and got (2) more tracks! I/O Buffer @ 256 Sample Rate 44.1 Bypass of Sculpture's not used (instead of just muting - as suggested!) Was able to get 18 tracks to play without hesitation or skipping. I wonder what my "soon-to-be" MacPro 30-Core with 50 GB's of RAM will do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editbrain Posted June 21, 2007 Author Share Posted June 21, 2007 you might get two more tracks with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callen Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 I got to 17 on a dual 2.7 G5 w/ 5.5Gb Ram. 256 buffer. Anyone performing this test be sure to un mute the tracks, and instead disable the Sculpture instruments, option click on it from the arrange or mixer page. I got up to 25 before noticing only the first 16 channels were playing, just a heads up. IO have to say, given the other results I am quite happy with my 2 year old machine, 15 note polyphony * 17 instances of a heavy handed plug = more power than I need for while anyway.

Rounik Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I go to 25 instances of sculpture...26 worked for a while and then pazzammmm. no more.... so 25 is good enough on a 2.16ghz imac with 2gb ram and logic pro 7.2.3 on mac os 10.4.8. I'm at 256 & 44.1. cool. rounik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beat.ethics Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 ive not messed with the buffers or anything yet, i can get 22 out of the Macbook C2D 2.1GHz 2GB ram that i use at work. but on my own iMac G5 1.9GHz 1GB ram i can only get 5?! could it be time for some more memory on the old iMac?

More memory rarely helps. I had iMac G5 1.6 with 3 gig ram, and similiar track counts as you. The cpu performance between intel c2d and single g5 is just that huge.

beat.ethics Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 wow, i didnt realise the difference was that much! i dont really know much about the inner workings of the machines, i just use them. im suprised how much the cpu has increased in just over 2years since i bought mine. the iMac currently handles everything i ask of it at the moment so im not gonna complain, was and interesting test however.

woodenboy Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Cool test.... I managed 29 instances with no dropouts - computer specs in my signature. Seems like I did pretty well! Makes it even weirder that I get those core audio warnings when first running songs, while the plugins "wake up"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djals Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 25 no prob's - 26 at a push I'm glad I waited for the Intel! Edit: I just checked my buffer size and its set to 512. I believe this is the default. I don't see any mention of this figure in the thread, is this to high? How should I know which size is best for my system?

Terrorhead Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I get 26 comfortable but 27 is pushing it it works as long as i don't touch the mouse the I/O is set at 512. when i set it at 256 I got 1 more track on a 15" Macbook Pro core 2 duo with 2 gigs ram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickt66 Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Here are my results: Machine 1: Dual 2Ghz G5 w/ 4.5G Ram -17 Instances Machine 2: 2.3Ghz C2D MacBook Pro w/ 2G Ram - 28 Instances (Both machines set to Apple internal audio interface w/ buffer at 256) I'd be curious to see results from anyone running a new (Santa Rosa) MBP. I'm wondering how much of an increase you get from the new chipset. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrorhead Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 So a weird just happened i upgraded my macbook pro from 2 gigs of ram to 3 gigs and when i did the benchmark i can only get 10 tracks to work before i get the core audio warning does anyone have any suggestions as how to fix this?
