ForumsSoftware ← cpu spike aalto 1.5

I downloaded aalto 1.5 yesterday, but when I open it in Logic Pro 10.0.6 the CPU appears to be maxed out. Works as normal in Live 9.

I've very much enjoyed aalto since I started using it a few months ago.

Incidentally, I have to change my password every time I visit your site.

Computer: retina macbook pro 2013- 16gb ram.

Hmm that's odd, I haven't heard of any CPU problems with Aalto 1.5. I'll try to duplicate this here. What OS are you running?

Things to try:

  • make a fresh Logic project, make a new Aalto, and try that
  • make sure buffer size in Logic prefs is something reasonable, like 256
  • close Aalto window, does performance improve?

I haven't heard of the password problem either, sorry-that sounds like a nuisance. I wonder if clearing your browser cookies might help.

Tried as you suggested in Logic. Immediate spike to max cpu.
The cpu does drop if I close the Aalto window, although not as low as in Live 9. then spikes again when I reopen it.

I'm running OS 10.8.5

Tried to login to your website in safari, firefox, and google chrome (that I've never used before today). No go.

I happen to have 10.8.5 here, and Logic 10.0.6. And a Retina macbook pro. But I can't duplicate your issue. I bring up a new Aalto in a new Logic song, and four voices run at about 40% CPU with the window open, or 25% with it closed.

So what might be different on your computer? Audio interface? Maybe try the internal audio to make sure we are on the same page.

I see that you are logged in now, since you posted---can you tell me exactly what is happening when you try to log in?

Also if it's more convenient for you, given the website problems, you can email me at support@madronalabs.com for support.

I'm using an apogee duet (the recent ipad/mac one).
I tried as you suggested running internal audio-- no change in the cpu situation.

I do seem to have stayed logged in though!

Logic will always be a bit heavier than Live 9, in my experience.

Well, since closing the graphical window helps, let's say for now this is a graphics issue. Do you have any kind of graphics software you run that would affect drawing, like that popular time-of-day gamma changer for example?

I actually have the same problems with cpu and password. I downloaded 1.5 today and I can't use more than 2 voices until cpu hits the top. I have Macbook pro 2.3 Ghz intel core i5 8gb ram and logic pro 9.1.8. Obviously, I didn't have the same problems with previous version of Aalto. Did either of you find any solution?

I don't understand what happens when you guys are saying you can't log in. What happens instead? And then, I guess it is intermittent, or you couldn't be here? Did you do anything different to get logged in?

re: Logic and graphics I have fixed a possible issue for the next update. I'll get Aalto 1.6 out ASAP so please stay tuned and let me know how it goes.
