A very quick test indicates that .12 has fixed the issue. Moving plugins now merely result in the āclassicā 0.5-1 sec hickup, which is acceptable to me. There are no more maxed out asio meters.
I have the same issue. I updated to 10.5.12 but i still get the peak audio signal even if i have absolutely no track added to my project. This is absolutely ridiculous. My CPU is in perfect condition and my Pro Tools on the same machine is able to handle everything perfectly well. I think I made a mistake of buying Cubase without trying it well. Does Cubase have plans to fix this or not?
This is weird. What is āpeak audio signalā in your case? And ā the original issue was with plugins, which cannot happen with no tracks in the project. More details, inc. your system specs?
