I’ve just installed Cubase 6, and converted a project from using the old HSO player, with the 16-bit Special Edition, to the new HSO VST Sound Instrument Set. In the process CPU usage jumped from 24% to 52%, a bit worrying as the project only has five instrument tracks.
I realised though that I was using the ‘light’ presets in the older project, and the combi presets in the new project, so this might not be a fair comparison. Is there a way of replicating the old ‘light’ presets, or is HALion Sonic SE a much bigger CPU hog than the old HALion player?
