Hi, The problem is that you have, say, 30 mono audio files * 16 channels = 480 channels.
You could use IEM MultiEncoder and have the 30 mono audio files sent to a 30-channels aux bus (with the MultiEncoder on that bus) = 60 channels That's the way I would do it.

Message-ID: <CAOg=fv65x09w8xvn+wp87umlqwawpdd_zs9jazeqk11+ne8...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Hi everyone, I wanted to get an idea of your experiences with Reaper running large (ish) ambisonic sessions. I mostly work in 3rd order ambisonic and use the Blue Ripple plug-in suite and Rapture 3D Advanced for decoding. I?m decoding to a 25.2 channel speaker array and could have up to 40 odd tracks, each with a 3rd order encoder/panner on. When I reach about 30 tracks Reaper performs very badly - laggy response when moving play head around, lots of clicks and pops when muting/soloing, random clicks and pops when just playing the session. Sometimes if I need to record arm a track playback is completely glitchy. I understand that 30 odd tracks each with a 3rd order encoder, and decoding to 27 channels is a lot to ask of the computer. BUT I?m using a 14 core iMac Pro with 64gbs ram. The sessions are running off an external TB2 drive (not SSD). I?ve played around with buffer settings which don?t seem to make much difference. Also the perf monitor in Reaper and the activity monitor in OSX don?t show that much strain. Any optimisation tips greatly appreciated. Or any other similar issues with Reaper?
