Hi friends!
Hilarious things happening to the cpu when I use the mfl convolution reverb pro.
The first instance take 11% cpu and the sec on and the thirde only take 2% cpu!
Is there someone who can talk about what´s going on here?

All the best,,

I would guess the Max framework is included in those 11% and when you add more instances that is already in place in memory. AFICT Max devices doesn't have to be self-contained and if they were that would potentially be a waste of resources. You're hardly complaining that your Reverb is using too little CPU?

Thanks so much for the explanation. So m4l take 9% of my CPU every time you start such a plug in for the first time?

Bad News!

11% CPU for one reverb is to mutch.

The best convolution Reverbs will take about as much anyway (though it differed wildly for me with specific settings). Get a faster computer.

Thanks for the genuine answers it is really appreciated.
And speaking of my computer so it is super fast.
9-11% cpu is not normal for a convo reverb.

Absolutely not. Simplest devices are 1% here.

You all have heard about multithreading and how to read the Live CPU meter, right?
