    take a look at this, swicthing back and forth on a heavy project. No CPU saving here on my M1 Max. Seems like a total waste of money getting the upgrade...

    Hi dagmarpiano,

    It's important to know where to look. Also, when switching to GPU Power, you will need to wait for all the impulses to be reloaded, so this takes a little patience.

    Can you please check in your Activity Monitor? The distribution between CPU and GPU should be clearly visible, like Brandon shows it for Nuendo in this video (at 1:25):



    Also, you know that you're always safe to return any licenses within 14 days if you have purchased in our webshop (which you did).

    Hi @dagmarpiano,

    Can you provide more detail on your project please? I don't see your primary microphone preset, but if it's stereo and there are only ~34 instruments you load - it's very little of the loading you create with the plugin, so it would be very hard to notice the difference. Try to load more to offload more... You can switch to 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos and quickly see the difference or make your IRs longer.
