Hey Guys,
I noticed that on Cubase 14 the performance meter is moving really fast (like if I have a low buffer size) and I was having some dropouts (on not so demanding sessions). I went to the setup and increased my buffer size to 2048 and nothing changed. I was still having the dropouts, performance meter moving really fast and no increased latency.
When I open the same project on C13, everything seems to be ok.
Did anyone have similar issues ?
You donāt happen to have SSL 360 do you?
Noā¦ I use AvidS1 (EuControl)
You donāt have any heavy inserts on control room in C14 do you? Thatās caught me out in the past when iāve been playing around and forgot to remove them.
I thought the new performance meter in C14 gives more information, is there any indication what is causing it? Open it up so you get the full view.
Noā¦ I donāt have any inserts in control room.
What Iām finding weird is that it seems that the performance meter doesnāt change no mater what buffer size I useā¦ It keeps āwigglingā as if you have a very low latency selected.
I had drop outs for a short time some weeks ago, but also in C13. I reinstalled all drivers on my machine (windows) and they were gone (it was the USB drivers).
I thought it now lists the track and plugin name(s) that are causing issues? Are you expanding the dropouts section on there?
If youāre not seeing anything that makes me wonder if it is control room and theyāre not reported on there perhaps? Just a long shot really. As thereās several locations where plugins can exist within CR.
Guessing youāve checked audio settings and everything are the same? It may be worth re-selecting audio driver etc as i had a similar problem with C12 but that was running visibly choppy. I had to deselect the audio interface, quit cubase, then go back in and reselect it and the problem cleared straight away.
Yeahā¦ Everything is the same in the audio settingsā¦ Iāll investigate what maybe causing this and will post here if I have any news.
Yes, it is unstable for me too, wroking in Windows 10.
More observations here.
On C14 the performance meter seems to react different, but all in all the performance seems identical. At least the thread you linked here.
Indeed, and thatās my experience as well, so far.
The meters are āwigglingā more but performance looks pretty equal with V13.
I was having CPU and dropout issues, but it turned out my microclock cables werent firmly connect. Ive been working on the same project, and have printed my midi, and have done a bunch of bouncing. Weāll see what happens when I starat a new one.
Yes, My Asio meters are jumping/wiggling as well and my asio meters are higher than normal. Iām sure there will be a fix soon
Seeing this tonight also, I put one instance of UAD Sound City Studio on a drum bus and it crippled Cubase, performance bars jumping like crazy, Struggled to even change presets.
In my case, I think itās related to the ASIO guard, as when I created a blank MIDI track and selected it to ensure that there was no real-time load, the performance improved quite significantly.
I recreated the project in Reaper and it was only using 2-3% CPU usage, which is a concerning difference.
However, iāve seen that before with different plugins and how they react in different DAWs. But it does leave you questioning things a bit.
Other than that, iāve not had any other notable performance issues though. But iām not one to watch the performance meters unless I get a problem, I canāt remember experiencing this on C13 in such a basic project before.
I have the same issueā¦ and I found no solution so far but going back to C13
Do you have the same issue when loading Cubase with resetted prefs?
I sometimes had his and restoring an older backup of my prefs solved it.
If its just one single plugin causing it, I would contact UAD in this case.
Iāve tried the UAD sound city on a drum bus here on my M1 MBP and itās working fine with no apparent jump on the Performance meter even at 64 sample buffer with on board audio.

Thank you for trying. Iāve got a second audio interface I may just try with that to rule out audio hardware. But iāve ran these same settings for a few years without issues.
I canāt even go through presets without it lagging and causing the project to freeze, even as an insert on one audio track. Reaper is fine however. Hopefully one of those things that settle down in the first maintenance update. Everything else seems to be fine.
Just adding myself to the jumpy ASIO meter thread. Since getting C14 Pro, the meter constantly shivers around 45-50%, and all the work Iāve had since changing from C13 Pro has been fairly simple projects using the same interface (Lynx Hilo) Iāve used for years. Iāll be monitoring this thread, thanks.
