I figured, which is probably incorrect, that the audio card was off loading some of the processing to the card or something.
I got an audio card, used it's ASIO driver and all was well again.
jamming a note on y midi keyboard) due to my huge buffer size. As soon as I would put a few plugs on, I would get horrible clicks and pops and super crappy latency (ex.
What exactly is the purpose of a dedicated audio card? With my PC, I was unable to work with no audio card, even with just mixing and editing ITB. This all sparked when I ordered my new computer. All questions I am embarrassed not to know at this point in my career.
Please support the development of the applications by purchasing a registration key for Hardware Monitor.I am still a bit unsure of the science behind software vs hardware monitoring and the exact purpose of a separate audio card. For this reason, the development of Temperature Monitor and Hardware Monitor is very costly because the necessary data has to be determined by reverse engineering and tests run on a variety of computer models. Moreover, there is no documentation or other technical note about the individual function of the sensors.
Please note that Apple does not support an official or standardized way of reading out sensor data in Mac OS X (the only exception is the Server Monitor application for the Xserve series). The particular graphics card and hard disk configuration used is also important because these parts can include independent sensors, too. However, a prediction which sensors are available in which models is not possible, because Apple very often releases "silent product updates", where the hardware equipments of some models are changed but the names are not (specifications are"subject to change without notice"). We try to detect all sensors on as many Mac computer types as possible. But Temperature and Hardware Monitor can detect sensors on many older systems as well if they are available. Some models are equipped with 38 and more sensors.
Beginning in summer 2002, Apple has begun to massively drive forward the use of monitoring probes in the PowerMac series, the Xserve series, and in portable computers.
Among other information this includes: Processor type Processor and bus frequencies Manufacturing information Of course, the application can read out the data only if your computer is equipped with the necessary sensors, and if Mac OS X can access them without needing third-party device drivers. The application supports the following operations on the measured readings: display in a default window display in a floating window tabular display in an overview window display in the menu-bar display of a maximum of two readings in the Dock graphical display of short-term and long-term history curves speech output of readings export to text files Moreover, the application can display additional technical information about your computer. The program can display and visualize measured values in a large variety of fashions. Temperature Monitor is an application to read out all available temperature sensors in Mac computers. The product has been superseded by the "pro" version Hardware Monitor. Note: Development, support, and advertizing for Temperature Monitor have ended on October 1, 2014.
