Hi Randy,
I'm on a macbook pro i7 quad 2,2Go, El Capitan, latest Live, same with AU or VST when I close the GUI the CPU increases by 20% or more, can be really problematic as those brillant plugins are already CPU hog.
Can you please do something ?
Thanks for your help.
Greg
Hi Greg,
I have seen this with El Cap and Live 9.5 also. I think it's more an issue with the CPU meter.
If you open up Activity Monitor, you can see that when the Madrona GUI is open, Live takes up a lot more CPU overall than when the GUI is closed, as you would expect. The Activity Monitor is a better measure of what's really going on in the system.
It doesn't make sense that Live's CPU meter would be backwards, I understand. My guess is that it's reporting DSP use a percentage of the time the OS gives to the app to execute, and when the plugin window is open, DSP is less of that time overall.
If you are hearing glitches with the window closed, and not with it open, let me know. Otherwise i think we can chalk this up to "don't trust the Live CPU meter."
No glitches at all, let's not trust Live !
Thks Randy,
