Sorry to be negative but...

Live 9 (32bit) CPU use is really hit and miss. All kinds of different things send Live over 50%, too many to mention. Something must be wrong. Live 8 it was pretty almost impossible to get over 50%, let alone get pops & crackles, and that's in full sets. Live 9 one or two devices or plugins will send CPU usage soaring. Kinda worrying.

- quad core MBP 8gb ram

Anybody else experiencing this? Saw a thread awhile back but it sounded like they thought it had been solved.

I am getting 38% quite regularly which is crazy high. That sued to be reserved for when I had multiple versions of reaktor open. Maybe its Max?

Are you experiencing this high % in both 32-bit and 64-bit instances of the same Live Session? Also, do you suppose that it's the way L9 displays the CPU Meter is different than the way L8 displays CPU meter?

I started a thread about M4L and it maxing out the CPU.
But last night a track I'd been working on that was very low on the CPU, 1 drum rack and 3 audio tracks with a few fx and it was suddely hitting upto 60%.
The odd thing was I hadn't closed the season and only came back to it a few hours later!
Something is wrong for sure!
I never had this issue in live 8 and my sessions where way bigger....
Hope this gets resolved very soon!!!!
