yes that is odd, I have not noticed that yet.

I haven't seen this here, but I'm on Windows.

performance at 128 buffer is outstanding, including absolute full utilisation of my 8 logical cores.

Hi TNM !

Maybe is an audio interface problem :-/ ?

I must say that with my old 003 i had to record at 128 and mix at 1024 . I've tried ever possible trick/tweak on the internet and it didn't change this a bit . But i've upgraded my Audio Card , now im using a clarett 8 pre X and not talking about the quality improvement , now i can track at 32 and mix at 64 . I use a lot of VI without freezing them and UAD plugins mainly on my mixing sessions . Not a single error since that , my cores never pass 15% on the PT meter on most complex mixes and not a single CPU spike neither .
Also i have a TC Poco wich i use because of the TC master X3 . I use it for mastering almost everytime . If i didnt have my buffer at 1024 while using it my system crashed almost 99% of the time . Now some times i forgot that i leave the buffer at 64 when do mastering and using the TC Master X3 because it stays so solid even with it .
It makes me smile when i remember and dicover that i just did the master at 64 buffer size .

It does seem ridiculous if you are only recording three tracks at once and still getting drop outs, etc at 64 samples. I too noticed the difference in performance when using just the in-built sound card in my Mac Pro. It runs very efficiently! Out of curiosity, have you tried a different slot in your Mac Pro? I think the closest slot to the graphics card is a 4x PCIe... while the two towards the top are 1x each.

2018.3 doesn't seem as efficient as 2018.1 to me. I have had to untick dynamic plugin allocation in the hardware settings to get it to run near the smoothness of 2018.1.

I hear that with 2018.3. There may be an ILOK - PT issue?

supposedly on the ILOK side?

Anyone else getting this ?

Thanks.

Perfect in 2018.1 and 2018.3

It isn’t me.

It is a pal.

Don’t know his OS.

I suspect Mac.

Don’t know.

So far running fine on Win 7 even though unsupported. I had some weird GUI mouse pointer issues with 12.8 but not now.
