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

[lastcall]

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.

@lastcall First, this is great news! I’m a Windows user, but I’m happy to see anything improve.

Even though this will be the first post for the forum, I’m going to move this to the Virtual Effects subform as it’s exactly what’s intended there. Also, congratulations! It will be the forum’s first post since I’ve set it up!

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…

@BlackJackSchellac I know I’m off topic, and maybe it should be a personal message, but it just hit me that Zo isn’t here. Can you or someone who knows him invite him? Let him know that all he has to do is send me an email to linkedmusicians AT gmail dot com and I’ll register him. The same goes for anyone else any of the members want to invite. Feel free to invite any friends, but I’d personally love to get the whole gang over from the Cakewalk Forum (with only a few exceptions).

Well low and behold! I don’t see the bug on Windows anymore either! Great! The CPU usage is now the same at the start than after doing the routing dance, go to double routing and back to single. It took them like forever, but they finally delivered… without much fanfare though. 😉

Old thread I know, sorry, and I hate the way everything is sp2lit up know, anyway . . .

 

The bug still exists in Windows, I don’t use or have a quarter pounder so I can’t check there.
