Hi,
I have set up VE Pro and Logic 9 on the same computer. Mac Pro 8 Core OS X 10.6.
I have a problem where in the Logic CPU meter only 1 core out of the 8 available is being used. This one core will overload and Logic will stop playback despite 7 cores sitting there idling.
However in Activity Monitor VE Pro is shown to be using around 200% - 350% CPU (i.e. 2-4 cores). So VE Pro is obviously multi threading across the cores properly. What I don't understand is that before I started using VE Pro exclusively in Logic the balancing of CPU across cores in Logic was much more efficient. Perhaps the way VE Pro pipes audio back into Logic is causing these overloads on one core?
I've read all the knowledge base articles on the Apple website regarding multi core optimisation in Logic but none of their tips have made any real impact!
VSL developers: is this a phenomenom you have noticed when using large VE Pro templates in Logic? (15GB of samples loaded in VE Pro)
Windows users: is this something that you notice on Windows 7 with Cubase 5 64bit?
Is it a problem with the way OS X multi threading works?
Any solutions in the pipeline perhaps?
