Stereo Tool

Oh really?

So, what is the reason (advantage/disadvatage) of using the CPU priority setting "realtime", over "high" or "normal"?

Usually not much. All are a lot higher than the default priority in Windows.

I had to switch cpu priority on ST back to "normal" from "realtime". Otherwise, I would get periodic clicks in the audio and cpu time stealing away from the automation system, resulting in loose segues.

Thanks for the explanations.

Then I'm guessing that Stereo Tool was running at such a high priority that it was getting in the way of VAC. Actually that should not be possible... Anyway, if lowering the priority helps then it's ok.

You can also set priority to vac also! No-of-cores / 31.

Best priority for ST should be, for XP Realtime and for Win7, High.
