Stuttering During Real-Time Previewing

If you are experiencing problems when previewing XFX plug-ins in real-time, try one of the following:

Increase the DirectX buffering size

In Sound Forge, right-click the title bar of an XFX plug-in window and choose Preview Configuration from the shortcut menu. Decrease the Buffers to process per second and/or increase the Total Playback Buffers to reduce gapping. This will also make the controls less responsive, however. Expect to wait a second or so before changes are heard during the preview.

Use a faster processor with fast floating-point arithmetic

When using the plug-ins in Sound Forge, there is a CPU usage meter at the bottom of every plug-in window.

This will give you a rough indication of how your computer is coping with the real-time preview. If the usage ever goes above 100%, stuttering problems will most likely occur.
