Using Master Bus effects and Multi Core Processors

mlee_aus · Post by **mlee_aus** » Wed Nov 18, 2009 4:11 am

After reading some threads on this forum I have been informed that the use of return tracks can cause Live to consume lots of procesisng power on one core in a cpu.

This has lead me to this question:

Will using effects and plugins on the master track (bus) cause Live to pools all its resources on one core?

How can I test this?

Thanks in advance

You can test it by putting plugins on your master bus and seeing if it uses more than one core

Well, you start by putting on some plugins on your master bus. Then use your operating systems activity monitor to see if it's using more than one core?
