[4921] High CPU usage with crossfader
Posted: Fri Feb 27, 2009 12:36 am
i'm having the same issue with abletons crossfader on a MBP 0s x 10.5.6 and on a p4 3ghz 3gig ram pc running win xp sp3
load a blank live set
move the crossfader back and forth and watch the cpu meter
take note of the cpu spike
--- with one track loaded i'm getting 10-12% cpu spike
now load up 10 empty tracks and move crossfader
---i'm getting cpu spike up to %30
no load 10 more track so you have 20 tracks total
---i'm getting up to 40% cpu spikes
these are all empty tracks in an empty live set
this becomes a major issue when using a full live set
and try to do crossfades.. the cpu meter will spike cause audio glitches and drop outs...
