Cubase 10.5 multicore managing

The Answer to all your questions is that Cubase doesn’t perform as well on MacOS as it does on Windows, at least that is what it seems like.
Multicore Performance is inferior to competitors. Also some plugins seem to trip Cubase 10.5.12 out and that has been reported numerous times.
Studio One + Logic both show CPU Usage on Hyperthreading “Cores” when loading big Sessions, but Cubase doesn’t.
Your question is clear, even tho some of the people here act like you are retarded.

Wait for an update and pray that performance will be fixed. Right now 10.5.12 doesn’t perform as we would love it to do, that is without a question…even tho there will be some people saying “well…it does perform quite well on my system”. Don’t pay attention to those people. Some of them have absolutely different Workflow (only stock plugins, or luckily not using any of the trouble causing plugins), or they have no comparison to other daw’s performance or they are just simply lying , like most fanboys.

I’m the biggest Cubase fan and i prefer the tools it comes with, but i do admire the performance Logic is giving me on my Mac Systems.
If Steinberg gets to fix the performance issues that have been discussed PLENTY in the forum, cubase will be unbeatable.

Quick Tipp: Heavy Bussing kills the CPU super fast. Try to avoid toooo many Groups with heavy FX on it.

Just the answer I was looking for. The truth is I come from Windows and working under that os, all the trheads work properly. I’ve just switched to macbook and this is the first time this happens.

Thanks a lot for your answer and hope steinberg engineers read this and solve it.

Glad i could “help” .
Let’s be honest here, the reason we are posting about Cubase Problems is because we love the program and want it to improve.
I appreciate if somebody actually tries to compare daws in their performance but i’m not a big fan of synthtetic-style benchmarks.
I’ve been using Cubase for over 10 years now and recently got into S1 and LPX and do some serious work on LPX when i collaborate on Film Projects.
There is something about Cubase that gives me an overall “this will reach the cpu limit”-feeling, all the time, whenever i have a big project. Sometimes it’s an extremely sluggish GUI, sometimes i open projects that ran at 80% ASIO and suddenly are glued to 100%, spiking uncontrollably not even able to be played back. Sometimes i open certain plugins (newest versions) in an empty project and the Asio Meter spikes…
To be fair, some of these things can and do happen in logic too, but i feel like they happen in Cubase way more often and that’s a bummer because i fckng love cubase.

10.4 upwards has been a slight desaster performance wise and that has been well documented in the forum, 10.5.11 fixed some problems, and 10.5.12 fixed some more, but it still feels like there is headroom when it comes to overall performance!
Let’s hope the DEV’s will surprise us with a great update (hopefully for free, because there is a serious bunch of people that couldnt use 10.5.x at all)
