Had a chat with Steinberg UK about the Win98 crackling with audio (it only does this in VST). Only to be told that Steinberg is not supporting Win98 at this time (nor was he aware of them doing anything at the present). He stated that VST was a Win95 program and would not be supported under 98.
Any comments people?

Win 98 and Layla are working fine for me!
It's a hardware problem with some of you guys. Buy a decent PC and soundcard and you won't come into to much problems.

I haven't come up with any new troubles with my VST after installing Win 98. I installed W'98 in order to get a more stable system but it didn't helped at all. Every once in a while a message pops up to say: "Program has committed an illegal function and must be closed" or something like that.

Don't know what crackling means? If its something with the soundquality, then W98 doesn't make difference to W95. My equipment is PII233, 32MB RAM and Ensoniq AudioPCI soundcard.

BTW, how much the amount of memory affects to the performance? Can I use more tracks or more effects just buying more memory?

Hi!

The amount of memory is very important for VST.
Less than 64 MB is not very good cos VST uses
this memory for effects jobs.

Your PC (233MHz) should be good for 8 stereo traks
simultaleously (do you use an Ultra DMA E-IDE controller
and a fast HD drive or SCSI-setup?)

Ciao

I've got Ultra DMA E-IDE with Seagates harddrive (9.5ms). I noticed that without using effects I can use many many more tracks.. I've done it with 12 tracks without problems and maybe could use even more.

But when I activate a couple of effects the whole system slows down to a degree of my old Commodore 64.

Thanks for the tip. Memory is so cheap nowadays that I think I will buy it some more.

Definitely...get MEMORY. You can configure memory per track in audio system menu in VST. I'd say get as much meme as you can afford ...at least 64 and really 128 MB if you can...then set memory per channel to 1024 kb and block size to at least 64 kb. For every track you set in these setting...VST will utilize 1MB of RAM...that's what you want if you have plenty of RAM. So if you set tracks to 24...then VST will use 24 megs of ram for tracking and whatevers left from your 64 MB's will be used for system...VST program...effects, etc.
