In practice this is not much of a loss, since external processing will have little influence on the host computer's CPU. For example, plug-ins that delegate their processing to external hardware or other processes, such as UAD plug-ins or Vienna Ensemble Pro, can not run in pre-generation mode, and will not benefit from it's increased performance. Keep in mind that not all plug-ins can take advantage of Pre-Gen. However, if you are noticing play-meter red-lining, raising this number may help reduce red-lining. In general, you won't need to worry about changing this setting. This is done from the Setup Menu, Configure Audio System, Configure Studio Settings, Prime Milliseconds. It is possible to adjust the global pre-generation time. We recommend experimenting with buffer settings to find your system's sweet spot.ģ. The same buffer setting in 9.02 may affect your system's CPU differently in 9.1. Compared with previous Digital Performer versions, latency performance has been improved in 9.1. When the plug-in window is closed, the plugin will run in pre-gen mode.Ģ. When this option is checked, all instances of that plug-in will run in real-time when the plug-in window is open.
d.) toggle the "Run Open Instances of This Plug-In in Real-Time" option in the Mini-Menu of any plug-in window. c.) Record-enable any MIDI track that targets the instrument for VIs. b.) Record enable or monitor enable an audio track for effect plug-ins. Aux track effects are always rendered in real-time. If for any reason you want to run a plug-in in real-time, you'll want to do one of the following: a.) Place the effect on an aux track with bussing used to access the effect. All plugins are set to run in pre-gen by default. What to consider when using the 9.1 update:ġ. Under certain situations, we have marked substantial performance improvements in version 9.1 compared with version 9.02. For example, a project that deals mostly with audio files will not see any major changes in performance while a project using many VIs and Plug-Ins will. It is important to note that not all projects will see substantial benefits from the Next-gen Pre-gen™ engine. While earlier versions of Digital Performer have included the option to render plug-in audio in pre-generation to reduce CPU usage, this feature has been highly optimized in the 9.1 upgrade. One of these improvements is the Next-gen Pre-gen™ engine.

Drag/drop the license onto the icon for your iLok USB dongle.Locate your license under the Available tab.
Pro Tools software is authorized by iLok, which means you'll need to have a valid license on your iLok or an iLok Cloud session in order to launch your software. How do you get Pro Tools license on iLok?
An iLok account is needed to register your serial number to the security database. You can register the product to the iLok cloud, or to your computer. You do not need an iLok USB dongle in order to use STL Tonality Plugin. When you run the iLok-protected software, it looks for your license on your attached iLok. Software publishers use the iLok to provide secure protection for their software. Likewise, what is the iLok for in Pro Tools? An iLok is a special USB device that holds your licenses for iLok-protected software. And then you need to maintain an internet connection while using Pro Tools at all times (that's how the cloud licensing works). And then you can use it today without any wait. Without an iLok dongle, you need to authourize to the cloud (cloud-based licensing) through the iLok license manager software. Similarly one may ask, can I use Pro Tools without iLok? PACE has introduced a new feature called iLok Cloud, which allows Pro Tools (2018.1/higher) and iLok Cloud-enabled plug-ins to be authorized by any compatible license located in the user's iLok Account (no need for a physical iLok or machine-licensing).
