Default Re: How to improve performance of VI's in Pro Tools.

I just upgraded to a MacPro 2.8Ghz (8-core). Upon Digi's recommendation I set the procs to 7. I was having issues with QL Pianos and found that a setting of 6 processors or lower made all the difference in the world. So I thought 6 procs might be the best option for me. But then in the Intel Wrapper info at the Spectrasonics site they recommend always changing it to an odd number (3, 5, 7). I guess I don't understand why that would be. Also, I haven't seen much difference in CPU usage as I lowered the number of procs. I am only testing with a few synths in a realtime mode. Maybe it would change with heavy usage.
