alas ambience is clearly optimised/runs better on the athlon not the pentium - and it is quite possible similarly optimised for the mac -jens wrote:nope - the Ambience test is way better for comparing hosts/cpu's - Ambience crunches cpu-power like there's no tomorrow - you simply need to load any .wav to a track (you can leave the default preset) and then duplicate that track a few times (might be this simple task ain't that easy in Orion though...) - you don't have the problem that you need to talk about how many voices you used, how many oscillators, what the release-settings were etc. blablabla - also Ambience is easily accessible to anyone regardless wether he's on Mac or pc - I only need copy the track six times b.t.w. on my XP2600+ Barton as my cpu maxes out after the seventh instance...BONES wrote:Well, I just asked because it seemed daft for you to be using effects as a guage when instruments tend to use a lot more CPU. unless your talking 19 tracks of audio, which is just boring.ttoz wrote:ofcourse I am talking about the vst effect, Bones, but mine are fully processing at the time. I can load up 8000 in logic if i want and there will be no cpu hit either if not processing stuff.
so afraid it is not a good test at all
