Response time was reasonable and perfectly usable. Amazing.Ĭubase, I was able to get 2128 instances (16 instances on each of 133 tracks) before any crackles occurred. Pro tools usage meter gives a numerical figure of 46% peak. In pro tools, 128 tracks (the maximum allowed in vanilla) x 10 (maximum inserts) pro Q 2 instances each, for 128 instances, is no sweat whatsoever. So i can not get an accurate count cause i can't add the tracks with ProQ2 instances. ![]() but even with over 2GB free ram, Logic is just crashing. Granted ram is low, and perhaps the 64gb in my imac pro will make a difference, the MBP only has 16GB. Logic just gives a spinning beachball when you even try copy a clip over. Pro tools does 128 no sweat and cubase is doing 256 without any issues at all. ![]() Logic is having major issues with all plugin slots filled after 100 or so tracks. Well when I start benchmarking I can't stop. I am going to do a test stacking instances across those 64 channels to get this result Going by this, I would say that about 512 instances of ProQ2 would use about what 64 of Equal do. This is across 64 stereo audio tracks playing a guitar loop with one instance of each EQ.Ĭheck out the massive cpu usage difference. You have to see it to believe it, so I created a video. IK Equal, with just the default one bell enabled, vs Pro Q2 with 7 bands enabled. Ok here's a very valid example where there is NO explanation other than a lack of optimisation. I know Peter will get upset when he reads this, and i love ya Peter so don't take this personal mate. It's as if, Ik are just not bothered with any kind of optimisation. Sure.īut just to give you an example, the IK SSL channel uses 20x the cpu of duende Native and Waves. Ok, there can be an argument made in their favour when they are doing special analog emulations, as far as quality is concerned. ![]() I have even confirmed this now even on my reasonably powerful iMac Pro. I use special not "on every track" type of processors, but channel strips and EQ's, they consume between 10 to 20x and even higher the cpu usage of competitors. but I tend to not use them all that much due to cpu usage. I have many of the IK products over the years.
