Whenever I have a Compressor visible on either a layer or a mixer channel, it slows down the rendering of the entire DAW (Cubase 5.5.3/32-bit). The cursor in Cubase begins to blink (the diagonal line), the channel levels become choppy, and everything runs sluggish. If I click the [-] button to collapse the UI of the compressor, everything begins to run normal again.
While Halion 4 is a bliss to the eyes, the edition is far from nice because of the slow drawing speed. I really hope they fix that someday… apps need to run smooth to feel natural.
Agreed. FabFilter’s latest update makes a -huge- difference as to how using the plugins feels. Hopefully some of the devs at Steinberg can see the value in doing the same with HALion and/or Cubase in general.
