When I Ioad up iZotope Neutron it only shows around 5 % CPU usage in Renoise. If I look up in Windows task manager it’s almost 40 %. How come that there is such a vast difference?
Vice versa, standard not so CPU hungry VSTs take up around 10% usage in Renoise while they’re only around 3 % in task manager.
The CPU meter in Renoise is only showing the Audio Load. It’s not an overall process CPU load meter. The nearer the CPU audio load gets to 100% the more likely the sound card driver can’t be served in realtime, so crackles or dropouts will happen.
