Computer Performance and Audio Channels

The number of audio channels you get from your system depends on a number of

factors. These factors are all related to the amount of data that has to be transferred

within the system. When you record, data is collected by the audio card and trans-

ferred via the computer’s processor to the hard disk. When you play back, this proc-

ess is reversed. On the way there are a number of bottlenecks to pass, which we will

try to outline on the following pages. Please also refer to the Read Me ﬁles in your

Cubase VST directory which may contain late information on how to optimize your

system.

How do I know how many channels I can get?

There is no easy answer to that question. To ﬁnd out, record and play back channel

by channel, until Cubase VST informs you that there is not enough capacity to play

back all the Tracks at the same time.

Computer architecture and processor speed

In all audio operations, the computer’s processor is involved, which means that the

processor speed will limit the amount of audio that can be handled at any given mo-

ment.

Processor Type

Cubase VST requires a Pentium processor. However, there are several manufactur-

ers of Pentium “equivalents”. We strongly recommend that you use an Intel proces-

sor. Intel Pentium processors have signiﬁcantly better processing power when it

comes to handling ﬂoating point numbers, than many of the “equivalents”. Cubase

VST (and many other audio applications) relies very heavily on ﬂoating point cal-

culations. This means that this difference in design between processors is much

more apparent in VST than when comparing processors when they run for example

a word processor or database program.

Processor Cache

A 2nd level processor cache is strongly recommended, the larger the better. This is

included in many computer models. If in doubt, consult your computer dealer.

Memory (RAM)

Audio work requires a lot of RAM! In fact, the amount of available RAM is in di-

rect relation to the number of audio channels. You have a large amount of control

over how Cubase VST handles the available memory, as described on the following

pages.
