Just wanted to report several problems I had since updating to Cubase 10.5.
Some of the Plugin Alliance vst3s cause serious CPU overloads while in idle. And DMG Audio Equilibrium shows huge CPU usage with only one plugin.
Both problems go away if I use the vst2 version of the plugin.
Anyone else had similar problems?
Guess I have to delete most VST3s for now and continue working with VST2. Those plugins were fine in Cubase 10.0.40 though…
PS I already did inform the plugin vendors as well. In case they might need to fix something.
I´m on OS Mojave MacBook Pro mid 2012 and after the new update to 10.5 there are several peaks and audio spikes on random VST plug-ins or FX. I have tried to set the audio buffer to a higher value without luck. I have also deactivate the ASIO guard, without luck. Sometimes random plug-ins hangs and makes Cubase non functional to click/or edit, but the track plays in the background. I have also experienced plug-ins that will not work at all, the GUI is freezing and no control or knob is able to move. Also the new cubase MultiTap delay hangs from time to time.
Same here. CPU spikes since v10.5 not related to project size. Simple project with five tracks brings my OC 9900K to its knees…
No probems whatsoever with v10.0.5
I’ve been getting huge CPU spikes as well… although doesn’t seem random in my case. Keeps happening at the same point in the project… then shifted everything over, and the spikes happen at the same point even when nothing is playing. Gonna have to revert to 10 again as its completely unusable in this state.
same problem here on Windows 10 Machine… it started actually with the 10.0.50 Version! Some of my projects get cpu overloads and i can’t work on them anymore… when i open them on 9.5 everything works ok!
It did for me but you should note your plugin settings on the vst3 plugin. I removed the black box hg2 vst3 plugin that was acting up and cubase automatically populated the slots with the vst2 version. However my mix sounded off and I finally figured out it was because all the knobs on the replaced vst2 plug-ins were reset. Pretty annoying.
Hmmm, yeah, nasty CPU overloads in my projects too now since upgrading. I’ve not been able to trace it down to anything in particular yet though. Using all sorts of well known stuff like Slate, Waves, NI etc, all up to date of course. It seems to get exasperated if i have a track selected/armed, though it still happens if i don’t.Hoping Steinberg are aware of this and looking into it…
Same here, average load is Maxed out, it is regardless to any specific plugin, 10.5 just eats 50% more cpu, tried all sorts of trick to see if it works, but nothing seems to be helping. Hope for a quick fix
