Reply To: Podium / CPU Performance

Is it true that if plug ins are not used in my arrangement then they don’t affect anything I have lots of plig ins in my folder but very few loaded.

Plugins not loaded in an arrangement have no effect on performance.

Make sure you are using ASIO drivers and not Wave drivers. Try adjusting the buffer size to see how this affects the spikes.

Does the spikes occur with a steady fixed interval?

Also try disabling the plugin multiprocessing option in the preferences dialog. Plugins that have problems with multiprocessing may cause CPU spikes.
