My first taught when I saw the GUI was "this is probably some CPU hog" and than I saw Acustica logo and have no further doubts.

And you're probably wrong, it isn't too resource heavy. There are assumptions and there is facts.
No much more than algorithmic plugins if any.

Acustica are improving constantly their products.

Also, Reaper blows away other DAWs when it comes to running these type of plugins. YMMV.

Every time he made a change in that video, you can hear crackles caused by CPU overload... You have any numbers to prove that or just thinking out loud like me?

My DAW is open with this plug-in loaded, I wouldn't have made the above statement otherwise.

You compared it to other algorithmic plugins and now for the proof of that you show me your DAW usage with one instance in idle? Actually even in idle it consumes your resources...

It's a free offering, take it or leave, it will vary machine to machine, DAW to DAW.

Hang on - a simple* little three-band EQ using about as much CPU as a stereo-instance of Mjuc in HQ mode?

*"Pre" is switched off in your screenshot above

@Passing Bye
The Noodlist is trying to offer proof of how his plug actually performs.
You're offering no proof at all.
I remember when AA first came out, there was discussion here about CPU issues.
But that was a long time ago in plug-in years.
I'd like to see current proof of your claim, so a fair assessment can be made.
Fair comment?

And he did indeed, did he not?

I think he delivered ample evidence that it is indeed a CPU-hog, as per the reasonable expectation.

That's a straw man, let's recap, I made a remark about CPU, you started defending CPU usage and failed providing any evidence to back up your words and than resort to that, what an waste of human interaction, so it's a hog and you are somehow offended by that and have a need to defend it.

Read everything again, I made remark about CPU, he compared it favorably to algorithmic plugins, I asked for evidence of that claim, he provided no such an evidence, but the proof that thing is actually CPU hog, comparing it to another known CPU hog, all there is to this.

Exactly.

But still no proof to base your assumptions?
Just accusing him is all you're doing.
Is this fair?

The Noodlist was kind enough to do that for us so it's a moot point. The horse is dead by now, so you may as well stop beating it.

Free Pultec-style, germanium-based EQ and preamp.
