As a Virus TI2 owner,Iam beyond impressed with this Emulation.Just Exploring is a delight.Has anyone else noticed CPU spiking.The laptop near burned my leg. I copied my Virus patches folder into Data and Voila, all seem to be recognised.All 25000 plus. Great Kudos to all involved.
Change the mode to "Snow" it will be less CPU hungry. Click on the ROM name and select "Snow" version. Also spikes are normal behaviour on the laptops because laptops have overheating protection and when cpu is too hot for some time it is nerfed to work with less cpu power to not overheat. It's not bad idea to buy laptop cooling stand. I'm using free grill stand from my microwave oven for laptop and is also ok - Mom. Can we buy laptop cooling stand? - No. We have laptop cooling stand in home. Laptop cooling stand in home: Last edited: Apr 25, 2024
should run smooth on a M1, of course you cant use it like normal plugin, like sylenth1, bcs the CPU usage will pile up quickly. also one instance of the Ti2 might need up to 2 physical cores for itself. the Snow needs only one.
Does anyone know if Logic Pro X 10.6.3 (last version working on Catalina I believe) can use multiple cores for that plugin or others? I read somewhere that Logic doesn't utilizes multicore plugins, but I don't which version. I assume it does now on the current version.
afaik Logic (and most/all? other DAWs) can only use ONE core for one "channel path" or howwever the correct naming is.
Alright, I see. Thanks! Edit: To find out if there is something fishy going on with OP's computer maybe choose the first patch from the TI ROM and post the CPU usage from the activity monitor and the specs and samplerate/buffersize, os version and DAW. The CPU usage here with a single patch is pretty consistent without spikes. I can't say more right now, because I am not at that computer. That plugin has also an internal buffer which makes a big difference set to 1 by default. 0 is realtime Or it's something completely different and file indexing is enabled and Spotlight cause the spikes.

Hmm... What about "u-he Diva"? It has button for multithread processing. So is it using multiple cores of CPU? Or only all threads of one core? Are you sure that DAWs using only one core per plugin and don't allow multiple cores for one plugin?
This is a concern with Logic not making full utilization of Apple Silicon cpus. It is not with REAPER. There are a few threads from new Mac M Studio machines with Logic and it not running the way they were expecting. Eventually you will end up looking at this issue and comparisons of Logic and REAPER.
I just saw that you are running OsTIrus in Logic. Which version of Logic and macOS are you using? I'm trying to run it in Logic 10.8.1 on macOS 14.3.1 and the preset manager doesn't work. I already posted this in another thread, but no one answered yet. https://audiosex.pro/threads/motoro...ord-lead-waldorf-mw.59786/page-30#post-771893
If I understand correctly, multicore is always used for audio processing (Logic,Live and Renoise seem to do that) and the plugins may or may not use it in their separate process independent of the DAW in use. So it's nothing to worry about, I guess.
try Diva by uhe to test it. there is very CPU intensive presets. if you have problems, come to the discord.
both assumptions are right. you can also make plug-ins themselves use multiple cores. it is just really difficult. because of all this complicated nonsense in VST and AU, CLAP was born and tries to make it better.
if it was organized, dupe killed, etc. Most commercial soundsets are 127 patches (as an average). That would be ~197 of them. There are more than that. The difficult part would be organizing them all, getting rid of artwork and text files, etc.
Diva use quie less CPU here on my M1 even when Devine is enabled. And that even with just a few samples buffer.
"...The way DAWs work: you can not get around the single core spike. If you have a CPU intensive instrument and add a few CPU intensive plugins on the same track, it will always be processed on a single thread if recording live....
