Is Studio One 4.5 More Cpu Friendly House; May 29, 2017 CPU Multicore Usage in Studio One. I have found that Studio One seems to handle multi cores quite well here at my end. I have found a similar situation to Bbd's case. For a session that is not too demanding, one core seems to take the load while the others have it easier. Studio One has a profoundly useful plugin called X-Trem, im unaware if any competitor has an equivalent, but basically you can use it in tremolo mode, or with a stereo signal you can use it in pan mode. There is a depth knob and a speed knob that can be synced to tempo. It has sine, triangle, saw, square shapes and 2 modes that can be.

using Mixbus since v02 and only recently jumped to v06. Really enjoying it so far.
Mixed the first session in it (about 30 tracks imported but boiled it down to about 16 tracks that were actually mixed, added a single Midi Instrument (the Drum Mic’A Sim via Kontakt) - used the typical mixbus workflow, added a few plugins here and there but went not super crazy with it.
My system meanwhile did. Macbook Pro went pretty noisy (and stood like that), the mixbus system usage display in the upper right corner showed something between 60 and 80 % sometimes 90+. Mac Activity Monitor showed about 130 % (and more) cpu usage. Even switched to 'all available processors' in preferences/general/DSP CPU utilization.
I understand that Mixbus uses higher amounts of CPU but I was wondering that such an average session size hit the limits so quickly. (btw: apart from the good idea to limit oneself to a certain amount of tracks: fan noise can be quite a challenge to listen to while you actually want to listen to your mix )
anyway, here are my questions, maybe some of you have (had) similar experiences or workarounds to share:
- plugins: is it generally possible to disable them (not just bypass them but really take them from the cpu system for the time being (like in Pro Tools)
- same about tracks: when deactivated, are they still using cpu? (in that session I kept all the unused tracks but deactived them)
- I already switched buffer size to Large Session (biggest option in the preferences/audio/buffering), are there more ways to improve system response and or avoid overload that I’m possibly not aware of?
( I know in the start session window you can choose buffer size, is this a different approach?)
- would there be an advantage to use the 32 Bit Mixbus 6 version instead of the 64 Bit?
- I’m aware that I’m using quite an old system (see below) for the whole thing but nothing on the website or manual speaks against using this setup.
Thanks for some insight.
Best regards

I know we can count on those Hamburg boys. My Studio One runs rock solid now. No nasty cpu spikes anymore. In fact, i can now even pull up my browser, tip this comment during a heavy loaded project playback, with zero glitches. It was not possible with 2.02, it. Oct 08, 2017 CPU spikes and performance lag Hi everyone. Studio One Artist users will need to purchase the VST / AU / ReWire Support Add-on. Studio One Professional also ships with 40 professional-grade Effects Plug-ins; Studio One Artist ships with 31, Studio One Prime comes with 9. These plug-in cover a wide range of uses and give you everything you need to produce stunning mixes. When I am running studio one with Bias FX plugin my CPU performance goes a bit nuts. It hovers around 30-40% then through certain passages it maxes out and I start getting crackling etc. Is there any way I can sort this without forking out any more money than I already have?
