Summary: Mackie Tracktion gui is very cpu hungry Product: Wine Version: unspecified Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: wine-gui AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: ireneshusband@gmail.com
The audio output of Mackie Tracktion is extremely choppy when (and only when) the GUI is visible. The choppiness is much worse at lower latencies (using jack/wineasio), so I presume that this means the cpu is under very heavy load.
To reproduce this:
Go to http://www.mackie.com/products/tracktion3/index.html and download and install the demo. You'll also need to have wineasio for this.
Start Jack and then Tracktion. Play the demo track "Spiralling".
What you will probably hear will be very choppy indeed. You will probably also see a huge number of xruns.
Now switch from X to a virtual console (ctrl-alt-F1). The choppiness disappears. On my machine (a 2.8GHz P4) when I run top from a virtual console I find that Tracktion uses between 45% and 70% cpu time while playing "Spiralling" at 10ms latency. However when the gui is visible it stutters badly even with a project containing nothing but a single wav file or a single undemanding vsti plugin.
I have experienced this problem both on an Ubuntu Gutsy system and a on recently installed Gentoo system.

I've noticed since reporting this that, for the short time between when I click on the stop button and when audio processing is actually disabled, the choppiness disappears. Apart from this, the only thing that I can see that seems to change at the moment "stop" is clicked is that the animation in the timeline ceases, so perhaps this has something to do with it.
Also, for some reason, the application's cpu meter has started working (it wasn't working when I originally made this report) and it looks like the cpu usage isn't extreme even when the sound is very choppy. I'd say that on my system it seems to stay within the same 45%-70% band that I observed from the virtual console with Tracktion hidden.

wineasio, when installed, prevents Tracktion from starting. Since wineasio is not part of wine, seems to break Tracktion, and there has been no response from the original reporter in 1.5 years, I'm going to close this abandoned.
