HISE HEAVY ON GPU PROCESSING?

[DanH]

@Lunacy-Audio Am I right i thinking "VoiceAmountMultiplier": true / false should also be in that list?!

OpenGL can be a setting in your Settings Floating Tile, so the user can choose which one to use.

"GraphicRendering" doesn't appear in my settings floating tile when I add HISE_USE_OPENGL_FOR_PLUGIN=1 in extra definitions menu. Is there something I need to do with Projucer to amek this available?

@dustbro Same Here @Lunacy-Audio

[d.healey]

@dustbro I think you need to add it to your custom settings floating tile as Fortune showed in his image a few posts back.

"GraphicRendering": true

[Dan Korneff]

@d-healey i tried. Not showing up ‍️‍️

[Fortune]

@d-healey Same here like @dustbro & @Natan "GraphicRendering": true doesn't make the opengl combobox show up in CusotomSettings floating tile.

I am also confused that, in order to make OpenGl enable:

Is HISE_USE_OPENGL_FOR_PLUGIN=1 enough?
Or should I do HISE_USE_OPENGL_FOR_PLUGIN=1 and "GraphicRendering": true both?

[Natan]

@Fortune It's Enough Here.
HISE_USE_OPENGL_FOR_PLUGIN=1

And No Extra Codes

[DanH]

@d-healey FYI everyone, it seems my FloatingTile "FilterDisplay"s were causing a lot the GPU lag.

[d.healey]

@DanH How many did you have displayed at one time?

[DanH]

@d-healey 6..... And then a spectral analyser, 4 audio waveforms, a Goniometer, 2 tables, a sliderpack, and 3 sliders linked to LFO gains which would be constantly moving... lol

But actually way back in the beginning of this project I noticed the lag (before all the extra stuff), and I never considered the Filterdisplays to be the issue, and removing them has made the biggest difference of all.

[DanH]

@Fortune Ok so.... I was thinking the same thing and I just compiled my plugin and opened my 'settings' tab and there is the 'Use OpenGL' option! Weird!

[DanH]

@DanH And I would also like to point out that selecting the 'yes' option here has completely sorted out any GPU lag, even on my 9 year old laptop! Bravo @Lunacy-Audio

[DanH]

@DanH it's never quite that straightforward is it.... Selecting yes here means that the font in the button below now goes weird! lol

[DanH]

@Natan So it does't seem like the code "HISE_USE_OPENGL_FOR_PLUGIN=1" actually does anything to my plugin..

I have a project with 3 filter displays and it's practically unusable on certain computers. It make the entire DAW GUI lag.

Bummer! I was hoping that was the magic cure

[DanH]

@dustbro Well the OpenGL setting is definitely going to help this. We need to figure out how to set it 'on' via scripting now! @Christoph-Hart any ideas Christoph?

[DanH]

@dustbro @Fortune @d-healey @Natan @Tania-Ghosh Ok so I found this thread:

Open GL

I still have issue where on Windows everything is smooth but on Mac is really laggy :(

Forum (forum.hise.audio)

@Lunacy-Audio found the setting in this doc: StandalonePopupComponents.cpp – line 128

#if !HISE_USE_OPENGL_FOR_PLUGIN
	properties[(int)Properties::UseOpenGL] = false;
#endif

I've set it to 'true' and recompiled HISE and now I have the 'Use OpenGL' option in my CustomSettings window :)

[DanH]

@dustbro Are you Mac or PC? Changing the OpenGL setting has made a huge difference on Mac, but the reverse is true on PC!

Both
