Cubase

Is that possible? Peak performance sits at around zero while the average registers a much higher value?

  1. Open an exisiting project.
  2. Check that ASIO guard is enabled
  3. F12 - to display performance meter
  4. Hit playback…

Maybe ‘Real Time Peak’ indicates ASIO performance of the audio stream which bypasses ASIO-guard.

Except… it doesn’t behave like this in previous versions… :question:
