ProTools/Logic advice on resource usage?
Tue, 07/02/2012 - 20:44
Hi all, I'm currently using ProTools 8.5 LE on a MacBook Pro 2.5 duo core, 4 gigs of ram. It doesn't take much for me to hit the cpu limit after adding a few plugins to several tracks.
I was wondering if by switching to Logic I'd have better cpu/resource usage? Anyone have an idea?
Thanks -

I'm using Aux sends where I can, I'm sure there's still room for improvement there.
Plug in's wise Normally SD2.0, MellowMuse IR loader, an EQ and compression and sometimes Ozone 5.0 (which eats up like 40% of my CPU, wonder if it's a bug? Hence I'm not using it much). Of course not all these on every track.
Have you tried both DAW's?

yes I have used both don't like neither one personally.
SD could eat up a lot of CPU if you're multi bus'ing out, if so try printing your drums down to wav files so that you no longer need SD running. This can help out a bit. Ozone is a mastering plugin so its natural for it to devour your memory. other then that you'd need a better computer DAW swapping wont do too much for performance really.

what kind of plugins are you using? and are you using AUX sends to help with the CPU issues? example being putting a reverb on an AUX track and sending tracks to that reverb rather then a reverb per track.
