[QUOTE="Chud, post: 1015486, member: 145344"] Zoolook - No worries, I didn't take your response as antagonistic - just consisting of some vagueries that required definition. Thank you for clarifying your statements, and for the thoroughness of the response. I too am a little perplexed at the processor spikes, but in all it does total about 10 instruments/inserts/EQ's so I guess I shouldn't be surprised, as this would probably spike the processor on even the newest maxed out MBP's at this bit count/sample rate. As to that, I do generally keep the bit count at 16 and the sample rate at 48k at the most, but this particular project requires a bit more fidelity from the start just due to the nature of its ultimate use. No FX being used at all at this point. Like I said, just a few channels w/EQ other than the instruments and inserts. I generally turn off everything I don't need on until mixing time anyway, and the Amplitude program is the main culprit that likes to hog CPU power. I used to use SX2 on my Powerbook but was recording multiple live instruments back then, as I was freelancing for live shows and some studio work with the rig. Very little VSTi use.
