Re: EuCon extreme CPU usage even hen idle!
Hi there,
I'm having the exact same issue with the same setup on both Mavericks and Sierra, and we don't seem to be the only ones.
I found this at the Avid Knowledge Page: "Pro Tools and EuControl are designed to take full advantage of processor capabilities, and it is normal for a MacBook Pro fan to be running when the CPU or GPU are being taxed. The Mac OS does include settings for laptop GPU switching (Settings > Energy Saver > Automatic Graphics Switching), and forcing the computer to stay on the more battery-efficient internal GPU will reduce the need for the fan. Be aware that this setting will also reduce the available CPU power for Pro Tools and other applications."
But these changes of course don't work.
I've just opened a case at Avid Support, cause I don't believe the Eucontrol software can be so CPU demanding. I hope to hear from them soon and will let you know!
Cheers,
Klaas
