CPU limit won't go over 50%

Post by pbajzek » Tue Jan 03, 2006 10:13 pm

Just noticed this in 5.0.3: No matter what I set my CPU limit to in preferences (usually 70%), if I quit Live and restart, my CPU limit is reset to 50%. I'm on a G5 iMac 1.8 ghz, OX 10.4.3

Hi pbajzek,

the idea of the 'Test' section within the Audio preferences is to check if you get a clean audio signal out of your audio interface with the current buffer size and a simulated CPU usage.
So this % value is only a value that simulates a CPU usage when you activate the test tone.

But you are right, the test parameters (volume, frequency, CPU usage) itself are not saved within the preferences and set back to default for each Live start.

regards,
/Alex

Aha, I misunderstood. Thanks for clearing that up.
