Default Re: Processor affinity

YES.

Affinity switch setting still required for me to get click/pop free performance at 24/96 with 64 sample buffer (OC 8700K; Win 10; MOTU 1248; PT 2020.9.1; NI Komplete; Waves Gold+). Without this setting the processor switching gets in the way (I think) and the sample que gets serviced too late - and then a click. For my 8700K FFE works best.

At 256 buffer and greater this switch is not required, and in fact can make PT a bit less powered YMMV. So I use 2 command prompts, one with an Affinity switch and one without.

For reference:

cmd.e x e /c start "ProTools" /affinity FFE "C:\Program Files\Avid\Pro Tools\Protools.exe

<remove spaces in ".exe" above can't post without added spaces>
