Fender Studio Pro 8.0.2 - Discussion Thread

Are there no more CPU spikes in version 8? Has this issue been fixed? In version 6, the built‑in browser consistently causes CPU spikes on my system, etc...

That's a debate rabbit hole, rather than me or others respond here, I suggest a discussion on a new thread or point us to your existing thread so it can be discussed.
 
A clear YES or NO, Just facts are enough.

It's not that simple. Without you showing steps to reproduce and exactly what your issue is, what you click on, how you click on it etc, in specific and a lot more detail, a clear answer cannot be given. Just telling us that you have issues with the browser is not enough info if you want me or others to try to reproduce your issue. I don't see any issues myself but then I might be doing something completely different to what you are doing, and I'm not going to test until you precisely show me what the issue is.

Hence my strong recommendation is to start a new thread rather than have a discussion about it here and derail this thread (I know from experience of posting on threads like this one myself and sending others on a wild goose chase).

The other alternative is to wait for the demo to come out and test it yourself (release date TBC).

Which issue? "CPU spikes" couldn't be more generic - in a DAW that usually hosts several 3rd party plug-ins.

Please create a new thread as mentioned above and provide some more details.
 
If anybody has an Atom SQ (and even if you don't), please vote!
(This is workaround whereby we are able to see button labels clearly on the atom, currently that is NOT the case a lot of the time).
Also we can't see functionality that is toggled On or Off.

While I could simply answer yes or no - the "fact" that you are still using v6 - is irrelevant as that version is now retired.

What we could really use is a comprehensive set of "facts" about your system (from OS to hardware and all things in-between) AND what exactly you are doing when you see "spikes".

As suggested - breaking this out into a new thread with steps to reproduce - would make this a whole lot easier to track

the spikes, when using the s1 browser, is a long time reported bug, heck the tickt is still open, I don't go over it again in here.

Back to my question:
Anyone still get theses spikes in version 8 when browsing stuff in the s1 browser while playback? *please*

If not no need to spam the thread, thanks

No.

But then again - I have never seen spikes with any version of S1 to this point (since 2011)

As stated earlier no, but you aren't supplying any decent information to repro.
We are not support either. We are just users here, contact Fender support if you want an update on your ticket, we have no idea about it.
Back to my answer.

Everybody here is asking you nicely to start a new thread with the specifics rather than piggy back on this one (Ten posts have been created here already about your issue which we have no real idea about).

Please do that or wait for the demo (or contact support).

BTW here in a good example (please do not post on this thread):

Have they fixed the bug where, when opening any plugin window through the mixer or inspector, it opens with about a half-second delay? But when adding a plugin either through the channel overview or by clicking the track number, it opens instantly, as it should?

I've created a new thread for you and posted a video:

Please go ahead and regard this as your thread.
 
Anyone have issue with tempo automation if the time signature beat duration is dotted?

For example if the time signature is 6/8 with a 1/4 dotted beat duration I'm getting various bugs in the tempo track. Not being able to consistently create or edit tempo automation - sometimes it simply won't let me. Or not being able to select multiple tempo automation points.

Only happens if the beat duration is dotted.

SP 8.0.2
Win 10.

EDIT - I've just checked this on my mac and it's the same. Looks like a genuine bug to me.

Had a funny thing where the update re-installed some of the soundsets under a Fender shared folder and then gave me a nag message everytime I opened SP8 and said they were duplicates. Soundsets were Deep Flight One, Sub Zero Bass, and Lead Architect. Had to move them from the Fender shared folder to the Soundset Folder. Seemed to work but why this happened is strange - seems again something linked to the name change.
 
I had a similar problem, but couldn't reproduce. It happened to me installing Hub.

Cannot repro but then I haven't reinstalled.
However it did lead to another issue, posted a separate thread:
 
Well - delay compensation can be a complicated scenario and has a lot to do with the plugins in play - your hardware and especially your audio interface.

You did not list any of your gear so I have no idea what you are working with. Until we can get a bead on your hardware - this is hard to troubleshoot.

VP
Nothing to do with audio interfaces. This is reported by several users, me included, and for sure we don’t have the same hardware.

It’s probably a hard fix requiring getting into the playback/recording engine code, that would be my guess on why they don’t touch it but it’s a fundamental thing in a recroding/playback enviroment. Plugin delay compensation is expected to work fully in this day and age otherwise don’t list it as a feature because it doesn’t work well. It may be a hard fix but other DAW’s have it nailed.
 
Could it be that in the mixer and in the inspector, FSP has to wait after the first click for the (very very unlikely) case that you wanted to open the Micro Edit crap with the second click, so that the plugin gui does not open prematurely?
This waiting time then might be dependent on the system's double-click speed setting.
I REALLY want a setting to disable the micro-view thing. It just annoys me…
 
This is definitely a reproducible bug, I just need one person to say aye with 8.0.2 and an appropriate controller and I'll create a ticket.

Hmm, I'm not quite sure, that this is a very hard fix because of the following: you can hack your way through this if you add the latency at the target position. And in every (hopefully) other case the latency gets compensated well, even in very complex routing scenarios.
Plugins report their internal latency needed for processing to the host, the host takes the latency, adds it up during the chain, distributes it to the routing and ensures that you end up at a summing stage with the correct timing. Which of course can look complicated in complex scenarios but in the end it's a more or less linear process where you work your way through the several summing stages. The only thing that matters is, that the data gets written at the correct position in the output stream.
And, most of the time when nowadays something goes wrong it's because the plugin does not report it correctly and the DAW is lost with a faulty information. And I don't want to blame plugin developers, but I know some examples where this happened. :) But not here...
There is a good chance, that it is the "simple" case that the latency just don't get reported through this specific situation, and, as I've written, the latency gets compensated, if you add it at the reciever stage. In the best case, there is simply a "0" where a value should be. Of course without knowing the code. But that's where I would take a first look :)
Anyway, if I've ever wanted to take care about this myself, I would still work with older PT versions. ;)
