What CPU utlisation are you all getting ?

I am getting 99% cpu load when recording (even 1 track !) and 58% on playback, with a Celeron 600 with 256MB ram. This results in glitching, and looks suspiciously wrong to me.

I am using TaskInfo2000 (www.iarsn.com )to monitor, and check for edxtraneous processes (none).

I tend to get about 65-70% with Taskinfo when playing back around 30 24-bit tracks with plug-ins on a PIII/866 with 512MB. Sounds like you have something else running in the background eating up your CPU.

Nope, nothing. When stopped it drops away to a few %.

Hello,

"I am getting 99% cpu load when recording (even 1 track !) and 58% on playback"

Is very rare, for reference, with a Celeron Mendocino 533 I spend 75% record 8 tracks, and 50% playback 16 tracks.

I use Windows 2000.

I think that is a probable fail of your soundcard controllers.

Bye

As another comparison, 22 24-bit tracks with minimal plug-ins use about 30% CPU so there is indeed something bizarre going on with your system. Are your results with no plug-ins running?

No plugins, no extraneous apps. I am using a MOTU 2408/2 with the latest WDM drivers. I may revert to the old Win9x drivers to see what that does. Will report back...
