CPU tip for Cubase users on PC.
Close your plugin windows!
My usual work flow is to have plug ins on everything and open all the time around my Cubase workspace. That's so I can get to them quicker.
Anyway, while chugging away on a track I was at the 80% to 90% CPU limit which my PC lets me get away with but the Virus TI was complaining alot, hung notes, clicks etc. So I decided to close all plug in windows bar the Virus Control and main mixer. Now the exact same song was purring at 50% to 70% and the Virus said thanks buddy and behaved a bit nicer.
Graphical overheads, CPU load, are now competing with your TI. Remember its USB 1 (the poor cousin of firewire).
