I was only responding to some of the earlier (somewhat generic) posts comparing performance of Reaper vs. Cubase, etc. In terms of straight performance (i.e., not apples-to-apples "audio engine" tests) Reaper does have the clever lookahead processing, which should ease up on the CPU compared to a DAW that doesn't precompute. Basic audio engine handling of VST/VSTi/threading/etc. will also affect performance, of course. I think what we've discovered here is that Reaper + OP-X Pro II = WINNING COMBINATION!Peter999 wrote:I completely agree. This btw was not thought as a DAW shootout, just as a general performance test that can be repeated in the own system.

OP-X PRO-II: 21 Instances performance demo session - video and free download - 50% load in Core2duo!
2012-06-01T15:03:06+00:00
A reference session using 21 instances of OP-X PRO-II for everything including drums, bass, synth and effects. Here's a video demo performed in 4 sequencers and 2 systems:

The session can be downloaded here:
http://www.sonicprojects.ch/opxpro2/description.html#performance
Available formats:
- Ableton Live 8
- Steinberg Cubase 5
- Avid Protools 8
- Cockos Reaper 3
- Multitrack MIDI & soundbank (for manual setup in other sequencers)
Since no other plugins or any other processing is involved you just need to have installed OP-X PRO-II, full or demo. Demo version available here:
http://www.sonicprojects.ch/opxpro2/freedemo.html
Measured total load:
Core 2 Duo E2700 2,53 GHz, onboard sound with asio4all @ 512 samples:
Cockos Reaper 3.7.2: about 50%
Ableton Live 8.2.2: about 50%
Core i7 920 2,66 gHz, RME HDSP 9632 @ 256 samples:
Ableton Live 8.2.2: about 10%
Steinberg Cubase 5.0.1: about 12%
Core i7 920 2,66 GHz, M-Audio Delta 2496 @ 256 samples
Avid Protools 8.0.1 M-Powered, using Fxpansion adapter for wrapping: about 25%
Would be interesting to know what's the load in your system.
Have much fun testing! :-)
EDIT:
Reaper 4.22 x64 64 bit performance test:
