Hello, recently i've been getting CPU high usage! using certain plugins! which i never had before using the same plugins. I have not installed anything new, nothing running in the background, so is there any software to optimize CPU or stop the high usage.i keep my bios as default settings & ive found a few memory optimizers but need to stop this high usage?.Any advice? [spec i5 16gb ram ]

 

Did you measure CPU usage with some tool or do you assume CPU usage is higher because your system seems slower / hotter / your fans are working harder? Might just be accumulated dust (or the Kazakh bitcoin miner).

Pretty unlikely for plugins to arbitrarily start eating more CPU, unless you changed something like sample rate or some other setting somewhere.

 

Programs like this almost never actually help. Scan for malware. Try the same plugins in a different DAW. Would checking things with Latencymon help? See if going offline changes anything. Checked firewall settings? Maybe you should list DAW and plugins that are lagging now.

 

i don't seem to get it much when i create a fresh project in my DAW.. but when i've saved my project & reopen later on. weird

 

Which DAW?
Which plugins?

 

FL Studio & https://audified.com/products/boutique-studio-bundle/
STA Effects https://rekkerd.org/audiffex-releases-sta-effects-bundle-v1-5/

legit plugins ? warez ? which team ? which source ?

 

Do you make ambient music? It's just time slowing down before you fall asleep.

 

maybe you have something outside the daw doing background tasks like an antivirus scan or something

 

One of the first things when troubleshooting, (before asking the internet, and definitely before trying random unnamed "memory optimisers") is ascertain what exactly you mean by "CPU high usage". How are you measuring this?

BTW those STA effects appear to be from 2015. Are there not any other effects you can use?
