i7 - utilisation of multi cores? (esp w/ PitchShift)

Cubase
1

Hi All,

Can anyone tell me how I can make my 5.5.2 cubase use more of my i7’s cores while doing CPU intensive work such as pitchshifting etc? I’ve found the “Multi Processing” tick box in the devices->Device Setup → Advanced options bit but I can only see one core being used to around 20%. This means I’m waiting 3 mins or so for this pitch shift while the rest of my raging hairy beast of a machine lies dormant and unutilised.

Any help appreciated! Hope you’re all having fun!

Not sure if the article below will help you…

Open up CB 5, then open taskmanager and find CB 5 under processes. Right click on CB 5 and make sure all of your cores are checked. See screenshot attachment

Sweet - thank you. I’ll try that this evening.

Coming back to this again, I did see how to see whether all the cores were “checked” for Cubase and they were, I think it’s just a case of cubase not utilising them which is poor… anyone seen this and found a fix?

Cheers.

t’s the priority of the Cubase app set to in Windows?

The Multiprocessor box is really meant for more than one physical CPU, not multi-core.

Hi Mashedmitten - a right click on the process shows it to be “High”.
