Virus Ti Snow & FL Studio 8

[The Machine]

Hey everyone, i am new here and im an owner of virus ti snow but ive just ran in to a problem.. :(

I installed latest control suite and drivers 3.0.3. I am using FL Studio version 8.0.0.2. I connected Virus thro USB port 2.0 and i manage to run virus vst but when i play it i get this message \"A sync error occured. Press stop and play to clear\" i dont get this message when i put virus on LIVE MODE but still the sound sometimes goes weird, pops and crackles. I am using m-audio audiophile 2496 soundcard with latest drivers. Besides my operating system is windows xp with service pack 3.
Another problem is about latency, no matter what i do (even everything what is told in FL studio tutorial from access music) i still get latency.
I tried to downgrade virus drivers to 2.7.5 version but still the same thing happens.
Reinstalled again latest version of virus and Sync error message dissapeared but i still have latency issues.
Dont really know what to do, surfed whole net havent found any solution.

Asking the question one time should be enough.... :rolleyes:

Try the newest update 3.0.4
Also adjust your buffer sample size

The newest is 3.0.5 ;)

sorry for 2 topics, just forgot to post in the right subforum :D

thanks for the advices, well i managed to work it but in kinda weird way, every chanel i had to set on same delay compensasion as virus ti has.
About buffer size, there comes the problem, im using latency of 2048 samples so that the plugins could perform well, but if i play virus on that latency i get instantly "a sync error occurred". If i set the lowest latency (64 samples) so i just need to set same PDC on every chanel and virus works fine, BUT the plugins perform at least 2 times worse.

The virus isn't made to run on buffer sizes that high. If I remember right it's supposed to be 512 or less.

I assume you have template songs for starting a new piece in FL?

Well do what i do - my template has all my mixer tracks routed to Track One, rather than the master. Next, the Virus Control plugin is outputted to mixer track 30. Then, in the VC plug in config options (i.e. the FL plug in config area, top left button of the plug in window) I've set the 3 Virus outputs to

-- 1 2

respectively.

Then I go to track one, and tell it to read the latency from "TRACK 30 - VIRUS 1" or similar. Good news: VC is always at around 80 ms IIRC, and LUCKILY that doesnt change, so I can continue to use the template every time.

Two other things in this template:

Because you can't send them to channels other than the master, you must also delay every FX send by the same amount - again FL will let you select your Virus channel to set this from.

I also have my MIDI OUT channels (8 in my case, as that's all I'd ever need from the Virus in one song) routed to the Virus plug in (i.e. so I can use it multitimbrally) - if you don't know how to do this let me know.

What i may do is create a blank template with all my FX and other stuff out, with just FL and Virus and send that over if needs be.

Hey , thanks for the advice, its a good idea to put the tracks to one instead of a master. Now i myself just manualy put the PDC on every single mixer chanel.

A template would be handy :)

EDIT:

got the template, virus now works almost like a charm using 512 samples size buffer, except sometimes during preset change on playback i get "a sync error ocured" but it doesnt affect the sound, maybe just a bug...

I use FL Studio 8 and I have not run into latency problems. I setup in this fashion.
1. Open TI in a new channel
2. Set its Port Number
3. Set it to an effects channel, I always use four, but anyone of them but the master is fine.
4. I pull up the FL effects page and click on effects channel four, then for the "input" at the upper right of the effects page I choose Virus ASIO 1&2. Next I select the output in the lower right corner of the effects page and select Virus ASIO 1&2.
5. Now in the dialog box for latency compensation I select "Pre", then choose to "sync to master".
6. Make sure you unclick the disk icon at the bottom of of the Effect Channel Four strip.
7. Get into VC, go to the first page past the FX1 and FX2 page and select for output "Out 1 L+R".
8. Finally go to the last page in VC and for "Surround Sound" output select none.

This should work,I have been working very well with 3.0.5 and FL, as far as not crashing constantly.

There Ya GO
Goodluck
