Help with CPU spikes
Posted: Fri May 20, 2022 10:30 am
Hi folks,
I have been having a problem with CPU spikes for quite a while. Every so often I hear a big pop/click sound in Hauptwerk and the CPU meter in Hauptwerk spikes, but when I look at Task Manager in windows my CPU usage is very stable. I thought this was hardware related, but I upgraded to an i7 and 64 GB of RAM and the problem persists.
At the moment I have the sample rate set to 96 khz and the audio buffer set to 512 with 3 audio buffers. I realize these settings are CPU intensive, but even if I lower the settings, the problem will appear, just less frequently. I also feel like those settings are pretty reasonable for a computer with my specs. Am I mistaken?
I've followed the glitch free guide, and it has helped but not completely solved the problem. What really has me stumped is the fact that task manager shows stable activity. Why is there a spike in Hauptwerk but not in windows?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
