Exclamation Vogone 2 will NOT work on AMD K6 or K62 processors

The AMD K6 CPU processor is not powerful enough to run Vogone 2 in real-time. This, while processing, the sound will "sputter and studder" in segments of sound followed by silence, then sound then silence, etc. There are several reasons we have come to this conclusion about the K6.

1. The K6/K62 only has a 1-pipeline floating point processor. All other CPU processors (Intel Celeron and Pentium (2, 3 or 4), and AMD Duron and Athelon) have 4-pipeline parallel-procssing floating point processors within the chip, giving four times the processing power for floating-point computations.

2. Vogone heavily uses floating point computations which places a much larger floating-point computation load ot the processor than other audio programs will. We pulled out all the stops to get the maximum vocal-reduction and audio quality we could achieve.

3. The K6/K62 processor has 32KBytes of CACHE memory, which is double what the Pentium 2 processor has. We developed Vogone 2 on a Pentium 2 initially, so we know it runs in 16KBytes of Cache.

Please Note: We recommend you have at least 128MB of system RAM in your computer, regardless of the processor. Less than this might cause a problem. If you have any other processor (than the K6) and you are hearing sputtering audio, check your computer RAM and increase it if it is less then 128MB.

Unhappy Vogone 2 prob reply

No kidding! This sucks. I just bought the vogone software and yes I have a AMD K6. It sputters really bad. I have over 320 MB of ram on board. And I still have the problem. Is there going to be a solution? If not, is there a refund on the vogone software?

I've tried everything I know to solve the prob but I'm no expert!

Help!!??

I thought this might be a good time to buy KHP and Vogone. Unfortunately my processor is a AMD-k6-2. I tried a free demo of the Yogen Vocal Remover just to see what it would do. Guess what? The music sputtered. Well...I guess I'll make a move on KHP and Vogone one day after I upgrade the computer. Thanks for providing the heads up on Vogone and the AMD-K6.

Re: Vogone 2 prob reply

Computer Requirements...From MTU's Vogone Site

Windows 98SE, ME, 2000, XP, 700MHz+ processor (Celeron, Pentium II, III, IV, or AMD Duron, Athelon, but not K6), 64MB RAM for Windows 98SE/ME; 128MB for 2000/XP, recommend 2GB free hard drive, video card with at least 8MB RAM (S3 chip will not work).

NOTE: Version 2.104 requires at least a 700MHz processor to play and adjust in real-time. However, it will export a vocal reduced file to the hard drive with any speed Pentium or higher class computer, but may not adjust and play live.
but not K6

The AMD K6 processor was the only processor that has been made that only had 2 piplines for the Floating Point. All the others have 4 piplines. Since Vogone is using Floating Point math as the algorithms, this is the reason that the K6 will not work with Vogone. There is nothing that we can do about making it run on this processor.

The AMD K7 processor should work correctly. I believe this is either the Duron or the Athelon processor family, but I am not positive.
