Next, if I set the CPU affinity to Cakewalk to use only the even cores I can run the load up to 90% with no glitches at all. I hear audio glitches sporadically at this setting, but not when the load is 50%. The first is showing 8 copies of the tool set at load = 60%. In the case of using this Reaktor tool, it is immediately obvious - but that is probably because it is the same process running in the hyperthreads, so sharing CPU resources between the two logical cores is not optimal. I built a Reaktor ensemble that allows me to dial in the amount of load it uses on an audio track from about 10% load to 90% load (as reported by the Reaktor CPU load indicator.Īlthough I normally don't worry much about audio settings, when I need some extreme performance, I find that hyperthreading might get in the way. Working for Dassault in various capacities since 1988, he most recently led their U.S. Hurley is best known for his senior leadership roles with Dassault Falcon Jet. It is about 2 years old now and it has performed quite well in things like and neural net training, beside audio. James Hurley is part of Talon Airs executive team as Executive Vice President. I have a 9900K (8 core/16 thread - 5.1Ghz) system with a custom waterblock loop (420 mm radiator/ EK Magnitude wb) and fairly good overclocking capabilities. Has anyone else been bothered by this enough to do something about it? The tutorial comprises 297 Files in 8 Folders, so it isn't insignificant. But I have not used that in years and I can't find it anymore. I used to have a 'dummy.dll' lying around for this purpose - rename it to sftutor.dll and nothing will happen. Next I tried to delete sftutor.dll but that throws an installation error. That will generate a startup error, but if you ignore it, it may work, as Sound Forge appears to open OK. I did not see any obvious Registry calls that might bypass these steps. The first was by using Sysinternal Suite 'Procmon' tool to examine the system calls during this time. I have tried to disable this in several ways. At least with my settings that happens,Įven though my temp file is set to 'D:\Temp' in Sound Forge, the tutorials will be build in 'C:\Temp', or whatever the environment TEMP variable is pointing to. This tutorial is deleted when you close Sound Forge. Then sftutor extracts that and then opens a 'show me' function that uses internet explorer to do the tutorial which can highlight parts of Sound Forge as it proceeds. What happens behind the scenes is that 'sftutor.dll' in the install folder opens the install file 'forge.tut' which is basically a 7-zip archive of a web page. You can disable the view of that, but you can't disable the creation at startup of the tutorials, as far as I can see. For the last several releases, Sound Forge has opened with an optional tutorial window.
