Guide for beginners #116

Hello from Italy, I have downloaded LiveSPICE few days ago. I really enjoy this software and I think a lot of people will find it useful in future. The tutorial in the website is good but I think you should give a simple guide for beginners, particularly for the simulation window. In fact, I have some problems of pooping sounds (using big muff pi example) and don't understand how to solve them using oversamples and iterations. Moreover, I can reach a normal sound only with oversample=1 I think it is not an hardware problem: focusrite scarlett 4pre with instrument impedance, dell precision intel xeon.

I have installed the software on a portable ssd sandisk, this could be a problem?

Thanks you for everything

This makes me think that it might just be hard for your computer to keep up with the processing requirements... Big Muff Pi is a pretty difficult circuit to simulate in real time!

It's definitely not the hard drive that is the issue. LiveSPICE performance is basically 100% determined by your CPU, and by single thread performance at that.
