I had three slots loaded on Halion, reduced it to one, still problematic. To my surprise on a very simple project I noticed my Real Time Processing in the Perf. Now came the time as I started doing a more synth oriented music. I have had Halion for a while but have barely used it.

Halion 6, Cubase 9.5, Macbook Pro 2014 i7 16Gb ram 512Gb Ssd drive. Is anyone else running an i5, or similar setup with Halion and seeing anything like this?.Or have I just reached the limit of what can be done on an i5 cpu in terms of number of voices, without having to limit Halion cpu usage or max voices?.
Are there any additional CPU tweaks or optimizations, maybe in BIOS or somewhere else that can help with this?.This is the part that I really don’t understand. Why does arming the track for record in Cubase aggravate the problem? If not armed for record, performance peaks are much lower and no crackle.Just wondering if there are other ways to optimize this. I have tried changing various Cubase performance settings, but that didn’t help either. I know that I can tweak the CPU usage and max voice count in Halion 6 to reduce the problem. I can also reproduce the problem outside of cubase with standalone Halion 6 if the voice count gets up to 32. If I disarm record for the Halion instrument track, it barely hits 10% on the audio performance meter (about 50% on Halion cpu peak meter). If I set the buffer size of my audio interface to max it goes away completely, but still runs kind of high on the performance meters. Windows performance meters don’t show anything over 40% for cpu and memory, and practically nothing for disk. But it still runs kind of high in terms of real-time peak performance meter, like in the 75% range and occasionally peaking above 100%, both on the cubase performance meter and Halion’s cpu peak performance meters. I was able to reduce this significantly by modifying the Windows power plan and setting the min/max cpu to use 100%. I have noticed when playing back certain Synth Pads (Motion sub-category, ‘Dusk of Angels’ for example) where the number of voices approach 32 on the Halion voice meter, the Cubase peak audio performance meter real-time peak hits max and I get some crackling.
Issue: To produce the problem, all I have to do is create a chord track and add Halion 6 instrument AND enable the instrument track for recording. System: Windows 10, Surface Pro4 i5, 8gb memory, 256gb internal SSD, 500gb Samsung T5 SSD (storing all cubase content), UA Apollo Twin USB audio interface. I am having some performance issues with Halion 6.
