Solution to a GUI problem
Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2016 1:47 pm
For some reason unknown to me, about a month ago I started to observe some graphics issues with my Aerodrums. Occasionally, the main screen would display as a blank white screen, or when I clicked on one of the main menu buttons (e.g. "Midi") it would open up into another blank screen. Ona couple of occasions the "midi" button was "greyed out" and I could not use it at all. A reboot usually sorted it out though. I found this was only reproducible when using Aerodrums to drive Addictive Drums using the "Midi Only" option. After much head scratching, I downloaded the most recent version of Aerodrums and reinstalled it plus I followed the guide in a previous poster to install a new Open GL driver for my graphics driver. The result is that I haven't observed the same issues since then.
However, I have noticed that hit accuracy is a little variable at the moment. Sometimes a hit won't register when it is gestured but pops up a few milliseconds later in the middle of the groove I am playing. I have the graphics mode in its most basic form most of the time now because I still get the error regarding graphics interfering with the smooth running of aerodrums. I also note that a sometimes get strange volume fluctuations in hit volume. My stick tips are the originals and have taken a bit of a beating - do you think it would be time to replace them with my spare set?
For the record, I always disable my wireless and turn off antivirus when I am playing live. My dpc latency is pretty good and I use my laptop just for audio production and for playing vst's live. I use an old Dell XPS m1330 (dual core 2ghz, 8gb ram and an SSD system/sample drive) under Win 7 64bit that I have tried to optimise for audio only apps.
Maybe the above might help someone.
REALLY looking forward to new developments with Aerodrums this year - any teaser hints as to what we can expect?
