Re: CPU maxing out on M1 Mac Mini

It's a combination of CPU and RAM usage. You might be running a plugin that just isn't all that happy running under Rosetta or on Big Sur. That's if you're even running Big Sur. If you're on Monterey then all bets are off. |

Re: CPU maxing out on M1 Mac Mini
M1 is not the problem, lack of memory is.

Re: CPU maxing out on M1 Mac Mini
So i was running the session at 96khz. I tried switching to 48khz and that seems to give me 15% more headroom on the CPU.
Will i be getting a noticeably better performance on M1 with 16GB memory? In that case, i will look to upgrade. |

Re: CPU maxing out on M1 Mac Mini
Unfortunately there is no upgrade path. It’s configured how it’s configured. You can’t add more RAM after purchase.

Re: CPU maxing out on M1 Mac Mini
I meant selling off this machine and buying a 16GB model. But only if there is a noticeable difference.

There is. 8 gigs is too little

Re: CPU maxing out on M1 Mac Mini
I maxed out mine, at maybe more than 1000 plug-ins, and also did a test by recording 256 tracks at 32 samples of buffer. Incredible machine. Mine is the 16gb ram version.
But I've noticed that 2 cores are at 85-90% and the other two at +\- 20%, so it seems that pro tools doesn't use the full power of the 4 performance cores of the M1

Re: CPU maxing out on M1 Mac Mini
Depends on your plugins. Here the load is spread evenly

Re: CPU maxing out on M1 Mac Mini
All bets are off regarding the Pro Tools processor meter until it becomes M1 coded?
I think it'll be best to check the Mac OS metering found in the Applications\Utilities folder in the meantime. Stephen
