> So, I have to agree, I think the spiking may well have something to do with plugins having oversampling. (I tried on other plugins and Instruments and got the same results in CPU Spikes) You have to wonder how this got missed in testing? Or is this the testing period?

Ahhhh , thanks for confirming ,and you are on Mac, so it’s a cross platform issue .  
Yes the Asio doesn’t seem to like the over sampling for some reason , im sure they will sort the issue out ,even if it’s just putting an over sampling limiter on the Asio Meter 🤪 , seriously thou , im sure there will be a resolve , i appreciate the feed back and you adding to the thread , im not going as mad as i thought . 😁 👍
