System Usage Window

[zlr77]

The system usage window should show list each plugin and the amount of processing power it's using. That way we would know exactly which plugin is using too much resources.

A feature to manually set the cpu usage limits for each individual plugin would be even better.

The HD software has a larger system usage window (look in the manual) that would be nice to have.

NOW on your idea of seeing the CPU usage per plugin - good idea

So how about your idea PLUS having a resorce limiter on a plug in - so the CPU hogs could be prevented from taking so much of the CPU.

So "software developer" type folks - is this possible?

I was just about to add that suggestion to my post
Like a low power option or something for those of us without HD rigs.

I like this idea.

A simpler version might be the simple addition of a CPU usage meter in each plug in that would function like a clipping indicater.

This could be a great way to identify plugin issues.

Thats what I was saying below - so how about someone to create an RTAS plugin that controls CPU usage like a limiter and can grab another RTAS plugin and contol its peak usage?

I could use a CPU limiter that controls NI's Kore 2 to stop the massive CPU spikes when opening or making it active.

Slowing Kores opening speed would be better than ProTools locking up and crashing.
