Each instance is disabled when you first load the project. Next there are 40 more tracks of sine wave recordings, each with eight instances of the plugin under test filling the track's insert slots.

I don't know its purpose, but its track volume is turned all the way down.

There is another 'monitor' track which is just a recording of a sine wave.

There are no effects plugins on these tracks.

There are four audible tracks of pre-recorded audio, comprising the loop that plays while you enable FX plugins, listening for pops and drops.

The 'score' of a DSP test is the number of plugin instances you can enable without encountering any glitches in the audible audio. It is October 2017 as I'm writing this, so my observations here are based on the 2017 edition of the DAW Bench DSP and VI projects.Įach DAW Bench DSP project contains hundreds of instances of a given CPU-intensive effects plugin, simulating a very complex mix. His goal was different from mine, and his projects weren't direct ports (he only replicated DAW Bench's 'DSP' tests, and he chose a different set of plugins for his projects from the ones used in the official tests), so I continued with my own effort. Direct multi-track recording to many formats including WAV/BWF/W64, AIFF, WavPack, FLAC, OGG, and MIDI.When I first began this effort I thought I was the first person to do such a thing, but I eventually discovered user on a music forum who did his own attempt at a Live port a few months back.

Portable - supports running from USB keys or other removable media REAPER also supports volume, pan controls and envelopes per track, multi-layer undo/redo, and user creatable color themes. You can arrange any number of items in any number of tracks and use audio processing plug-ins (DirectX and Jesusonic). It reads WAV, OGG, and MP3 files, and records WAV files. REAPER supports ASIO, Kernel Streaming, WaveOut, and DirectSound for playback and recording. It provides an extensive set of features, but is a very small and lightweight application (the installer is less than 1 megabyte, and includes many effects and a sample project). REAPER is a powerful but sensible Windows application that lets you record, arrange, edit, and render multi-track waveform audio.
