Software Compatibility

doravianquelast integrates well with existing music software and can complement your current workflow. We support various audio formats and plugin standards.

Supported Audio Formats

• WAV (16-bit, 24-bit, 32-bit)
• AIFF (all standard bit depths)
• MP3 (for reference and sharing)
• FLAC (lossless compression)
• OGG Vorbis (open source alternative)

Plugin Support

• VST3 (Windows/macOS/Linux)
• Audio Units (macOS)
• LV2 (Linux)
• AAX (Pro Tools compatibility)

Hardware Recommendations

While doravianquelast runs on modest hardware, certain components can significantly improve your composing experience. Here's what we recommend based on different use cases.

Audio Interface

A dedicated audio interface reduces latency and improves sound quality. Look for interfaces with ASIO drivers on Windows or Core Audio compatibility on macOS. Buffer sizes of 128 samples or lower provide the most responsive playing experience.

MIDI Controllers

Any class-compliant MIDI controller works with doravianquelast. We've tested extensively with controllers from Akai, M-Audio, Arturia, and Native Instruments. 25-key controllers work fine for basic composition, but 49 or 61 keys provide more expressive range.

Monitor Setup

Dual monitors greatly improve workflow efficiency. A 1920x1080 resolution is sufficient for the main display, with a secondary monitor at any resolution for reference materials, virtual instruments, or mixer panels.

Network Requirements

doravianquelast works offline for composition, but internet connectivity enables additional features and content updates.

Bandwidth Requirements

• Basic features: No internet required
• Sample library downloads: 10 Mbps recommended
• Cloud sync: 5 Mbps upload for project sharing
• Software updates: 25 Mbps for faster downloads
• Collaboration features: Stable 2 Mbps minimum

Firewall Considerations

doravianquelast communicates over standard HTTPS ports for updates and content delivery. Most corporate and home firewalls allow this by default. If you experience connection issues, ensure ports 80 and 443 are available for outbound connections.

Audio Setup Guidelines

Proper audio configuration ensures the best composing experience with minimal latency and maximum stability.

Driver Configuration

Windows users should install ASIO drivers for their audio interface. Built-in Windows audio works but may have higher latency. macOS users benefit from aggregate device setups when using multiple audio interfaces simultaneously.

Buffer Size Optimization

Lower buffer sizes reduce latency but increase CPU usage. Start with 256 samples and reduce to 128 or 64 if your system remains stable. Higher buffer sizes (512 or 1024) work better for mixing and final production stages.

Sample Rate Selection

44.1 kHz works perfectly for most composition tasks. Higher sample rates like 96 kHz or 192 kHz increase file sizes significantly without audible benefits for most musical content. Match your interface's sample rate with doravianquelast's project settings for best results.

Common Issues and Solutions

Most technical issues have straightforward solutions. Here are the problems we encounter most frequently and their fixes.

Performance Issues

If doravianquelast feels sluggish, first check your buffer size settings. Increase buffer size if you're experiencing dropouts. Close unnecessary applications to free up system resources. On Windows, disable Windows Defender real-time scanning for your project folders to improve file access speeds.

Audio Dropouts

Audio dropouts usually indicate CPU overload or driver issues. Try increasing your audio buffer size first. Update your audio interface drivers to the latest version. Disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth audio devices if they're not being used, as they can interfere with dedicated audio interfaces.

MIDI Controller Issues

Most MIDI problems resolve by reconnecting the controller or restarting doravianquelast. Check that your controller is set to the correct MIDI channel (usually channel 1). Some controllers require specific drivers - check the manufacturer's website for the latest versions.
