CPU meter going insane

[askthe kid]

hey guys,

The cpu meter in my Live sessions all of the sudden starts to peak to 100%+
This happens in some sessions and when I open a different project after that all the projects are affected. Even a blank one (with or without plugins)
I have to restart Live for it to work again.

Tried deleting plugins one by one, resetting live, etc

I've been having this problem since Live 11 using a MacBook Pro M1 2021.

Average session my cpu meter stays at 20-45%

Thanks

Could it be triggered by a 3rd party plugin?
Or your audio interface? Did you have a chance to try with another one?
What's your buffer size setting?

Check if you're on the latest Live 11 version (11.3.25) and make sure you're NOT using Rosetta

I've already tried with Apogee Groove and Apollo twin. Its not the interface and its not the buffer size.
It happens both in last Live 11 and Live 12

Also this problem happens with only MacBook Pro output

If it's not about a 3rd party plugin/M4L device that's part of your Default set, then it might be worth thrashing the Preferences.cfg file and restart Live.

Could it be that you have line IN on a built-in microphone?
