yes an 8 core MacBook pro gets 15 x 8 voice divas all playing back without logic overloads, vs 6 in a mac pro configured to about 14 grand. My iMac pro gets 6 also, yet my MacBook pro gets 15. it's the single core performance that is at fault here. too much for single core load so it can only load 6 and leave all the other cores free. Came back with the message to cut out some processes, one was Native Instruments, access.ĭon't feel bad! The new 16 core Mac pro is crippled with 6 instances of U-HE Diva playing 8 voices each. I once had my machine, completely bogging down a lot. I cringe at how many processes are running in the background, with extremely cryptic names, so you can never figure out what they are. I have never been able to get an Apple salesman to certify how many tracks a machine can run, because of the extremely wide variation of CPU demanded by different 3rd party VI's.Īnd rest assured, as soon as the 2019 gets more units sold, 3rd party plug-ins will get more cpu demanding. A lot depends on which virtual instruments. Turning virtual instruments to audio, and saving channel strips, then nulling out, I can get over 100 tracks going. Some UVI instruments also can get pretty demanding. I can get 100 or more tracks with less CPU demanding virtual instruments, and audio tracks. I can cripple my 2015 - 6 core mac pro with 8 instances of a U-He virtual instrument, with automation on it.
