Default Big problem with Eucontrol CPU usage

Suddenly EuControl 3.5 needs about 80-90% of the CPU Power!

I have changed to prior version 3.4 with no success. I have no idea why it is the way it is, since formerly it had a usage of about 10%.

@ all users: how much CPU usage does EuControl show on your Mac?

macOS Sierra 10.12.1, Mac Pro Late 2013 6c, DAW: Logic X 10.2.4, 2x Artist Mix, 1x Artist Control, 1x Euphonix Transport

I've noticed this too, it's very troubling. It seems like the team is just barely holding on to keep the software compatible with the latest macOS, and are not willing or not able to optimize the code.

Same here.

- EuControl v3.5
- OSX 10.12.3

Average CPU Usage is 55% (one core) whether it's being used or not.

Can someone at Avid look into this?

Thank you,
Lam

I have the same issue! Driving me mad, rendering my artist control al lag useless. 50% minimum counusage even when idling. Ends up being over 100%, sending the fans into overdrive.

Eucon 3.5
Pro Tools 12.7
Mac OS Sierra 10.12.2
MacBook Pro i7 16GB 2015

same here. only really started with Sierra I feel, its worse when I have my external monitor hooked up since that gets the MacBook Pro a little warm as well.


I dont have this issue on Mac Pros, or iMacs

I'm also seeing high CPU usage from EuControl. Activity monitor showing 85%-95% CPU at idle, no other apps running, regardless of whether panels are connected/powered on or not. Something's not right here.
Eucon 3.5, macOS 10.12.4

This is fixed in v3.6. We were hoping to go live today but are waiting on Apple to approve the Control App. Hopefully Friday.
