in recent years i've been using XTC with ASIO of other card and it works!
the cards (scope pci and symphony mk2) are connected via bnc sync, scope being slave.
actually, it's the only way to use XTC in 64bit ASIO hosts as scope v5.1 ASIO driver doesn't open in x64 daws, and scope v7 ASIO although ...

yes, deleting scopeusers.com cookies from browser settings did help
but previously, clicking 'clean cookies' from within the forum login form did NOT help!

is the vdat ok under x64 v7 at yours?

yes, i use dante virtual soundcard asio with my apogee card AND have scope plugins in a daw - you don't have to use scope asio for xtc to work.
however, i've heard some stories that people would have issues sometimes and they needed to short some jumper on their scope card for it to be able ...

it might be not the case

but i used to have two pci cards with adat cables and if the pc was hot, it would start clicking
the remedy was to pull out adat cables slightly, how to say, to put them a bit further for the optical eye to focus better
it was perhaps caused by heat expansion of some ...

thanks, spacef!
i remember that when v7 was introduced they said they've cut some stuff out to make asio less buggy and xtc might have gone with it too. don't have proof it really did though.

now to other things --

"If you use three XTC plugins in series, what hapoens?"
- if you insert plugins as ...

yeah well, i think a bit more or less latency does not matter - realtime in a daw does not happen unless it's pro tools hd, or a "bare" scope platform.

i was referring to xtc issues in general and wanted to pinpoint that response time of xtc plugs is extremely short, that is, talking about ...

and regarding this - "The latency was unacceptable and the resources where sparred for a fools dream."

the latency is what you set at ULLI (which applies to ASIO too) - in my case it's 128 samples. how many native plugins do you know that have just 128 samples of latency? in my system, other ...

anyway, it would be great if someone would take care of the XTC and Scope BUGFIXING in general. crowdfunded perhaps?
i wonder if it's possible without some source code from S|C

i sometimes have to go through like 10 crashes to get to that lucky boot where both vdat x64 and XTC works - takes good ...

okay, a word from someone who is using XTC as a primary means of working with Scope
first of all, that's how other dsp cards work - say, TC powercore (RiP), and UAD. it's the only way they work and ppl paid money solely for that single and only means of function. there is no point in arguing unless ...

anyways we still have a working 20+ year old dsp system under current windows, pretty much no other company are able to pull that off.

this

[XTC-Config]
AddHost=0

is VERY relevant even today with nowadays DAWs - if you want to speed up XTC vst scanning, that is not to click mouse on every plugin load.
... and then revert back to 1 once it's done. thanks kperry!

is the v7 asio driver bluescreening?

well, there are ways for setup to run properly and install in program files without being right-clicked and chosen to be run as administrator (for a user having admin privileges)
but the s|c installer perhaps uses the old file copying approach which requires elevation or it doesn't work to full ...

hi! which version are you trying to push?

do you run setup as administrator? the v5.1 setup is notorious for being unable to access program folders when not run by administrator. also, do you select xtc components on install?

it's v 5.1 x64

now i upgraded win11 to 23h2 and it still works!

it's interesting - what it was for and how did they differ from dlls that are installed by s|c installer of version 5.1?
never had any "dual core" issues.
is it something particular about xtc use in v 3.1?

please pardon my long disappearance but i've been doing.. uh... tests.
to avoid recommending any unnecessary or even harmful voodoo.
and indeed i deducted quite a lot and what seemed to be a longish talmud is very simple now.

install scope 5.1
if the driver doesn't install - do 'testsigning on ...

i would advise against following those old guides as the computers and windows have gone too far out to make sense of it all.
disabling hyperthreading and EIST or turbo boost impairs performance by a tad and it's for granted... yet any benefits are not granted.

in my experience, 'spikes' are caused ...

xtc works here on win11 after some tricks but it really takes effort - it doesn't endure reboots but for that session it's stable.

vst3 and x64 vst - unless someone is willing to write the interface dlls i guess.
there are existing scope vst2 32bit dlls which might be disassembled and looked into ...
