Waves Seems to load one DSP core quite heavily?

Heya friends. Coming from an Extreme server to Fourier. I seem to be experiancing pretty heavy load on just one core. I am not THAT plugin heavy considering I’ve got 3x waves running on an extreme server at about 60% CPU on extreme (not titan).

Perhaps it’s one specific non waves plugin… but I’ve “smited” most to try and find a cuprite with no success

Any recommendations on how to mitigate this, if possible?

48k @ 64 sample. 1 mS on fourier. I have dropouts on plugin selection.

Hi Samuel_Schmitt!

Firstly, welcome to the discourse, sorry to hear about the issues you are experiencing!

While I haven’t seen this specific issue before, it could be related to a similar issue regarding denormals in some plugins DSP. This error essentially presents itself when virtual sound check systems are paused, the DSP cores whir up to 100%.

Couple things worth letting us know:
-version of engine and client
-all plugins in showfile
-the number of DSP Overruns(see the bottom of the performance tab)

also in the next update, we are adding TF-137 Detailed Performance Info - understand which chains and plugins are consuming DSP resources. This should help narrow down this error in future.

Feel free to contact support for a dedicated chat, if you send us your showfile, we’d be more than happy to try and recreate this!

All the best,
