Slow audio rendering. P4 machine performs faster than Core i7 ?!

[Mike Kujbida]

15 sec. on Pro 9 32 bit with a Intel Core 2 Quad Extreme (QX6700 QuadCore).
The other tests were on an i3.

I’ll try that as soon as I get back to the studio.
Mine is set to audio device (M-Audio C400) directly due to some custom i/o adjustment requirements. M-audio router settings are not accessible under Sound Mapper unless you select the M-audio device driver.

I guess your V9 32bit has the same issue with mine. Even your time is better than mine(~40secs), 15 secs is still too much for a simple audio render, considering that it’s just a simple read/write process.

I just tried it on my home machine (32 bit) with Pro 7, 8 and 10 and they were all 15 sec. renders.

I have tested it on 2 systems, one with V9 (64) and the other V10 (64) but nothing changed. They still render slower than a P4 machine running V6.

I rendered 10min of MP3 to a WAV output. I don’t have Vegas 9 installed anymore, or any 32-bit version. The 64-bit Vegas 10 rendered it in 15seconds. The 64-bit Vegas 11 rendered it in 3 seconds, about the same as Sound Forge 10.

Vegas 12 actually refused to import the MP3 files. Ouch!

I just tried again with version 12 and it imported my mp3 just fine and renders the wav file. Wonder why you cannot import mp3 files.
