Analog Lab CPU Cubase 12/13

Hello, I’m wondering whether anyone else experiences freezes in Cubase (or any other DAW) when using Analog Lab in 16 tracks.

I often go for adding 16 tracks of Analog Lab in order to later browse through sounds and create my arrangement.

Yesterday I’ve noticed big freezes (with CPU usage >40%), Cubase becomes unresponsive, then a bit better and so on until I close this empty project.

I’ve tried some other VSTis I have which are CPU hungry (Omnisphere CPU usage <5% and other) and I haven’t experienced this.

Needless to say that with previous versions of Analog Lab I didn’t have such issues, even when loading templates with 32 instances.

I’ve already posted this at Arturia’s forum and I will go for a ticket too, but I’d like to know first if it’s something others experiencing as well, or it’s just something wrong with my setup.

EDIT: I originally posted this at the Lounge, however after noticing that

a) this issue is there on all my 3 PCs (Win11, Win10 and Mac)

and

b) in another DAW, there’s no CPU overload at all (the CPU level is at the ones of my other VSTis in Cubase).

Note that I really don’t care for the CPU levels as long as the environment is responsive and this is (obviously) my issue.

I’ll mark this thread as partially solved, since it turns out that freezes/lags came because of high energy and CPU consumption by the **Arturia Software Center Agent (32 bit) **. I’m not even sure why there doesn’t seem to be a 64bit of this component, but anyway, while having my Analog Lab instances open, I end this process and then it restarts and gets set to pretty low energy and CPU levels, so my issues disappear completely.

The reason I’m writing that it is partially solved is that I get a 40-50% CPU usage in Cubase, while I have other very well known CPU-hungry VSTs topping at just 4% with the same number of instances. But yeah, since I can work without problems, I’m OK :slight_smile:
