Extra work or some âextra milesâ are never a problem for me, but there are several issues with these lists.
1. Forgotten
Although initially interested in these lists, such as this Zero-latency plugins list, people seem to forget about them and do not post in them any more.
2. Possibly inaccurate
The list can be misleading: plugin updates can (say) either increase CPU cycles and add latency or the other way round - can be optimized and/or reduce additional latency.
When I was writing my post, I had already thought of your answers and I knew it wouldnât really be relevant.
So I think this thread âCPU issue in GigPerformerâ is the best place to continue talking about it and posting opinions, even if itâs quickly forgotten.
I think that this thread is not the best thread for this talk
(the title suggests that there is a CPU issue in Gig Performer itself)
Feel free to create a new thread, say, âCPU intensive pluginsâ and share your observations. I suppose that there are some usual suspects such as Diva.
Thx!. But the problem is I think you then would need to buy that spesific plugin, or own the V collection.
Also, I own the Stage-73 plugin, and it seems to add around 17% CPU usage by itself. Not so much off a problem when you use it by itself, but when you use it with other CPU heavy stuff it can add up. I bought Lounge Lizard a few days ago, and intend to use that plugin in place of the Arturia Stage-73.
