Hi,
I really like Wavosaur, but I have serious problems.

- CPU load is really high even if no file is open, and therefore the GUI seems to be slow(?).

- the "timeline" cursor is flickering. really annoying.

My system: X2 3800+ (dual core) XP SP2.

I tried to force wavosaur to use only one core but nothing changed. I have no idea wants wrong. I really want to use this program, maybe you have an idea wants the problem.

The cursor flickering is almost unoticeable on my monitor, must depends on the system.

The CPU load is not normal, what's your complete configuration ? (with screen resolution and depth)

Thanks musicus and dandruff for the precision
We have to do some more testing to find what's goin' on with the CPU. We'll keep you informed about that!

update! I think dual view (2xmonitors) has something to do with this issue.
when I only use one the problem is way less obvious.

wavesaur is still not usable for me Crying or Very sad

and I really would like to use it. any news on this issue?

I still get about 25% cpu load and the flickering "timeline" cursor even if I open a new file.

Hi musicus,

we are searching the problem. Do you have wavosaur on all your 2 monitors, or just on one?

If you reduce the wavosaur window size, do you decrease the CPU load?

I'm wondering if I'm an exception or if this problem is common?

I have to say, I have this problem also on my new laptop (no dual monitoring).

I would love to use this editor but this bug hinders me to use it in a professional and productive enviroment.

edit: if found a vst plugin, which displays the fps rate, in ableton live or cubase i get about 30-60 fps, in wavesaur only 7. I guess here is the problem.

that's not a common problem, we may have to compile a special version for debugging purpose so it may take some time before we can fix this CPU problem

musicus,

A thing is possible after the next release: we can compile you a "debug" version of wavosaur with different GUI/audio mode.

It will take you few minutes to test and to send us the results.

If you are ok, please let us know!

Just a question: did you try simple behavior like:
- changing the audio out buffer size
- changing the window size

If yes what is observed?

Thanks for your comments.
