Re: HW 4 - Reverb using REAPER or BIDULE
Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2011 9:49 am
SIR2 has zero latency itself (one of the improvements from the free v1). However, I don't know about latency in the HW VST link...

I know some real pipe organs have a slight lag but this has quite a lot of latency, enough to put me off playing properly. How do I cut that down? I have set the Hauptwerk latency thing as low as I can (1024, I think). How do I improve the lag in SIR/Reaper?

Sounds like you're seeing the same issue I did. Go into Reaper Preferences --> Audio --> Buffering. Turn OFF (uncheck) "Anticipative FX Processing". That solved the problem for me.

Why do IR have latency built into them? I having been using the York Minster & St. Alban's freebies and they both stop me from playing comfortably but the sound is really amazing. The Haverhill IOC extended set sounds out of this world!
1) Can anyone suggest any good IRs (free or paid) without latency worth getting?
2) I was reading on the Sonus Paradisi IR pages http://www.hauptwerk.cz/irs/select.htm about being able to have several 'channels' in Reaper presumably to feed various organ departments through to get different effects. This sounds better than just a 'blanket' process. How does one go about doing this?

Sounds like progress! That's a good thing.
Could be memory, but the crackles may have to do with the settings for Thread Priority and Behavior. I imagine those will be sensitive to the specific machine (speed/cores/etc) you're running HW on. I had to fiddle with them. It would be worth experimenting with those settings. You should be able to find something that eliminates the crackling and doesn't upset latency.
