Thx to OP !

Presonus keeps actively working on improving S1, i really like that.
If S1 (on mac) would be up to par with Reaper, regarding CPU performance,
i would problaby make it my main DAW, instead of Reaper.
But in my experience, S1 CPU performance (on mac) is a thing that still needs much improvement.
They implemented GPU hardware acceleration, i assume that is a good step, performance wise.
