I remembered seeing a way to find either the CPU usage or latency amount of specific plugins in the SWA Complete Cubase 6 (or maybe 5.5) tutorial. The hard drive on my laptop it was on is toast.
Well, I fount the latency in Plugin Information. I guess what I am really after is finding a reverb with a very low CPU demand (less than Roomworks SE). If there is such a thing. It doesn’t have to sound great. Just for monitoring through Cubase during tracking.
I am fighting CPU spikes at low buffer settings and could really use an ITB reverb that isn’t hungry.
I had to add 18-20 roomworks se to a project before my ASIO meter even registered any cpu use.
If one instance is troubling your low latency performance then your card & driver or something else about your system probably just isn’t really up to being this low.
One of those really useful little features in Reaper: the window that show exactly what percent of available CPU cycles each and every plugin is using.
Thanks guys. My problem was more based with prgrams running in background eating up my cpu. I have solved the problem and multiple instances of plugs is not an issue.
