what’s important is the Cubase performance meters NOT the task manager.
Also don’t have any other programs open when you’re looking at task manager!!! Firefox with 28 tabs…9.7%
Task manager is useful for seeing how core loading is spread etxc and to see if there’s correlation between it and Cubase meter…but it’s ONLY the Cubase meter that maters at the end of the day as ASIO guard hitting 100% stops you going any further.
