I know I'm late to the party
I am digging into my bass sound for recording and started remixing a track that I recorded with the SVT7-Pro. I really loved the tone of that amp. But after fixing it once and reading about all the problems others were having, I sold it and replaced it with the Ampeg PF-50T. After hearing that SVT7-Pro tone again while remixing, I started thinking about buying another SVT7-pro as I did read that the more recent/current one's have a new chip that supposedly solved the problem. Anyway, I stumbled on the SVT Suite and just downloaded the trial. I can say that I was able dial in the SVT tone that I love and the plugin does have lots of options. The one huge downside is the CPU usage. On the track I'm remixing, I'm using superior drummer 3 with imported drum tracks, 3 rhythm guitars, 2 lead guitar parts, a solo guitar track, lead vocals and 5 backing vocal tracks with lots of plugins. Normally this song with all the tracks and plugins runs at about 60% CPU utilization. When I turn the SVT Suite on for one bass track, it jumps from 60% to 79%. That's a huge amount for one plugin. Even if I turn off the cabinet and effects sections and just leave the amp, its still at 79%. It seems odd to me that turning 2 of the 3 off has no effect on the CPU usage. I really like this plugin, but not sure I can afford a plugin that hogs this much CPU. Has anyone found options or ways in the plugin to reduce the CPU utilization? Appreciate the help. Thanks
