E-drummers do not want the additional latency introduced with v3.4.1 plug-in !!!

[MintberryCrunch]

Please implement a switch that allows users to revert to versions prior to 3.4.1 in terms of latency. We electronic drummers do not want any additional latency when using the plug-in, even if it is only a little more than a third of a millisecond! (which is the case with v.3.4.1 and which is also completely unnecessary for our purposes!)

Especially those whose latency chain has already reached the acceptable maximum of 10 ms (because of not using the fastests modules and audio interfaces) will not be happy about a further extension of the latency chain.

And there are so many benefits from using the plug-in in a DAW, so please don’t answer “use the standalone”.

You could always back date to a previous version. Otherwise you would need to have separate installs of SD3 of each version you want to use and I don’t know if whatever operating system you’re using would allow that. A switch like you say could not be implemented in SD3. And even if it did they would have to have different names and then there’s the whole problem that your daw might not see the changed names. Keep in mind that it’s not just the name you see when chossing an insert but also what’s in the metadata.

A third of a millisecond? I seriously doubt that could even be heard. And where do you get this 10 ms number from? But really you answered your own question with the remedy of getting better audio interfaces. And as far as a faster drum brain – keep in mind that MIDI has it’s own latency and that’s something you can’t do much (if anything) about. Are you loading the whole kit into ram? Doing that will help keep down any perceived slowdowns.

“A switch like you say could not be implemented in SD3.”

 

Is this a statement from an official Toontrack SD3 developer?

No but it comes from someone who’s done a fair bit of coding. It would have to be a shell program that then selects which version to run and this would not be built into SD3 itself. And that would requires having 2 different versions of SD3 on your computer. Why not just take the easy way and backdate if you’re having supposed latency issues with a system that begs for upgraded hardware? You want premium performance – you have to pay for it.

You completely ignored the rest of my post.

It’s a shame your forum is on Fakebook – not everyone does that.

Because of not being compatible with the latest SDX (“Real to Reel” and all future libs).

Looks like you’re stuck with what things are. Get a better audio interface. Or split your system drive into 2 partitions with individual SD3 variations and duplicate all your plugins. There have been far more serious things that have been put up as suggestions that have been sitting in the bit-bin at Toontrack that are still there for years. IOW – what you want ain’t happening soon.

This isn’t about my equipment; I’m speaking generally for VST e-drummers here. I would like to read a response post from an official representative.
