Reply To: You know, I was right! (Amplitube 5 CPU Performance bug) (They fixed it!)

Well, Version 5.8.1 no longer shows the CPU performance issue on my MAC, using Reaper to check its performance.

Used to use 4% of CPU, now it’s only half.

There are some issues but this one was the MOST important of all, from my POV.

Still, who is gonna argue that taking more than a year to fix it, or more, it’s an ok thing.

If you used 1 or 2 instances probably wouldn’t be that awful.

But in some weird cases, I admit, I would need 8 instances or more and my super duper Mac Mini Pro M2 would suffer.

Anyway, I hope me bothering them paid off (I know I am nothing, still…)
(I didn’t know the bug was there until I started getting into my songs like maybe 2 months ago).

Aaaanyway, probably their effort put into fixing it was important to them because they needed to FINALLY find out what was wrong so they can release Amplitube 6. But that is speculative ofc.

 

Interesting, I will go check if there is some difference on Windows too later on. It’s been a while since I checked if the CPU problem I reported on the other forum, you may remember a couple of years ago,  which Zo found how to easily reproduce using routing change. I’ll report back later…

My name is Jacques but you can call me Blacque Jacque Shellacque for short
