Audirvana 3.1

[OtisGus]

All of whatever you all are talking about is over my head. It would take some time and research to understand the tweaks you’re apparently doing with the software.

 

I recently spent what I feel is a good bit of money for Audirvana. It sounds great setting it up following the manual’s instructions. 

 

I have 8 gigs of memory on my late 2015 iMac. This is the only program that has slowed down my computer. Is there anything I should do to make Audirvana use memory more effectively? Or is the program commonly memory hungry? It slows down a lot when I’m editing metadata in a separate application, as Audirvana is updating the library.

Great! I’ll try that. Thank you for your prompt reply!

I have defragmented the library as suggested by damien78. Audirvana works fine and smooth. Then when I updated an album cover within the Audirvana application, I got the spinning beach ball for a long enough time that I was considering terminating Audirvana. I don’t have any other applications running. Safari is not running. 

 

I have an iMac 5K 8GB memory AMD Radeon R9 M395 3.3GHz Quad-core Intel Core i5. Are there settings on my computer or Audirvana that would solve this problem?

[OtisGus]

I also want to add that I really like Audirvana.

 

I guess I’ll need to add some memory to my computer if I want Audirvana to perform as fast as I would like it to. I am interested in knowing how  much memory other people are using.

[OtisGus]

Yes, I get the beach ball anytime I edit a track within Audirvana. The beach ball goes away when Audirvana finally updates the library's track. 

 

 

[OtisGus]

Wow thanks so much for taking the time to help solve this! I will dig into this tomorrow, my day off.

 

I like the icon. Saw Frank many times back in the day. Always a good show!

[OtisGus]

Note that you have 2X more memory than I. My 8GB to your 16GB. 

[OtisGus]

Oh, yes, lol

[OtisGus]

Thanks for all the suggestions! I uninstalled and reinstalled Audirvana and deleted the library folder as RunHomeSlow suggested. 

 

It's working nicely now.

 

Thanks!

[OtisGus]

Really liking Audirvana. 

 

Only suggestion I would like to request is that you make a “night mode”. If you had the option to make a black skin, then when you’re listening at night the computer screen is not so bright. Also I work the night shift. It’s easier on the eyes if the screen is dark with white lettering. 

[OtisGus]

When will the new dark option interface for Mac be available?

 

Looking forward to it!

[OtisGus]

I’ve given up on the Audirvana library. Hope it’s improved whenever Audirvana is updated. 

 

I simply drag and drop from finder into the play queue.

It's coming

In April, I made this suggestion to have a night mode available for Audirvana. Maybe it was decided against?
