Importing disrupting my music

[admin]

Thank you George!

I was taken back how someone could say Hoster is a memory hog. We used to be, but we did an extensive checkup and rework and, as you say, we're now in the 2% - 4% range.

As to importing from a CDG disc, our error correction in Hoster 3.316 is the best available in the world! PERIOD! To get that level of quality takes extremely heavy computation. I'm surprised its only 60%-70%. But the results are pristine lyrics without random dot coloration errors.

Even importing track 15 on any Chartbuster's disc, which are the most warped in the world and track 15 is the worst on the disc, and we get very few graphic errors. Comparing the same disc/track importing with other software and the resulting imported file is unusable.


Tricerasoft's Swift Elite has been reported by about 10 of their "ex" users to work the CPU so hard that running it will burn the process up... totally destroy the chip. Now THAT's a processor intensive program!

what version is he running ???

Not terribly old, 3.301

O.K.

I installed 3.316 and ran the same tests.
On play with 3.316 the results were the same.

On importing 8 tracks of S.C.2038, the average CPU usage was just about the same with occassional dips lower that with 3.301, and some spikes higher.

The import time was 3:30 minutes longer(7 minutes), but the total track time being imported was 3:42 longer. Considering what ADMIN said regarding improved error checking, still in the ballpark projecting an average cdg import of 15 tracks in 13+ minutes or so.
