I change buffer to 512 and cpu was around 20%. Insight 1 was on one screen almost at full size. So it looks like those oldish Apple cinema displays are hogs for cpu. Also I had a older version of BX steromaker and updating to latest version helped as well. I am re-checking all the plug ins now and updating as we speak.

But generally, it is good that we have 2019.5, shame about HDX voices, but I am sure it will come soon.


This is exactly the issue I was having. Upgrading to Mojave fixed it. I also have an RX 580 in the post as well.
