Please describe in what way it is not workable at the higher CPU usage. Things like: Does anything in the UI freeze? Does menus take several seconds to open? etc.
Menus open slowly, vst open slowly and drop off or push the Podium CPU into the red and I wait a moment for the CPU in Podium to lower out of the red.

So the problem can be described as a sluggish UI? Is there anything that you can’t do, or is it just slow to respond?
It actually is workable if I don’t see the play cursor. If I have to see it I keep the inspector open and it is only 32% CPU and it works fine.

The CPU made available to the UI will decrease when the audio processing needs more CPU. This will of course result in an increasingly sluggish UI as the Podium audio CPU meter grows towards 100%. To make the UI snappier, the fix is to find what particular UI feature is using so much CPU.
Well, I hope you can. I am used to Podium being very low on CPU! I don’t want to go to the other apps to finish these two projects…at all!
sam cDesktop.
This was not happening in 2.23. I might have missed it in 2.24 it is hard to tell. I only opened my task manager because I was hearing a drop off when I should not have. My Podium mix never shows higher than 30%. If it does I might bounce to conserve so I could have missed this for awhile.
sam cFrits, I can play without audio glitches even at 66%. I just can’t do anything else.
sam cThis is a few years old. Pent 4- 3.2gHz- 2 gig ram -on board video card-Sony Vaio.
Frits, all other programs work as they should. So did Podium until recently and nothing has changed on the computer. It is XP, tweaked for audio, and really has been no problem.
sam cTrack meters were definitely changed to hide meters. It made no difference. The play cursor off the screen is what drops my CPU to normal.
sam cIt seems to be the play cursor in the view window that makes my system spike. However, my processes shows Podium climb from 29000KB to over 900000 after a few minutes on play, even though CPU drops to 6 to 9% on task manager.
sam cWhen the play cursor is changed from follow play cursor and the cursor leaves the view of the track window the task manager CPU drops down to 8%.
So my project starts at 62%, when the cursor leaves teh view it drops to 6%!?
sam cFrits, that cut it to about 32% on my task manager.
Well, it did not. I went in and changed it in each view that has tracks and it is back to 62%. So I undid it all and it is 62%. Then I changed the one view of tracks to hide meters and it is still 62%.
Is there anything I can do to get this working?
sam cIf I go back to start page it drops all the way to 8% while project is playing.
No other windows or programs open.
I sent you my podium file to your support address. Not sure if that will help?
sam cYes, Podium says 4% task manager says 60% when I hit play. No vst no sample based instruments.
If I keep the inspector open it drops from 60% on the task manager to 32%.
I get gaps in the sound but no CPU in the red….it stays at 4 to 6% on Podium.
Any ideas?
sam cI even went back to 2.24 and 2.23 and get the same results. It is making it impossible to use Podium.
Frits, you might be the only one who can help? I hope!
BTW, I checked reaper and saw and the CPU remains around 6% on the same projects. All projects have absolutely no plugs or additions to simple audio tracks.
sam cHi podiuman.
You do need to find the file first. Maybe do a search for kjaerhus, it should come up. Then you need to extract that file to your plug in folder, usually C:ProgramFilesSteinbergvst or something close to this. If you do not get this done you cannot get to the next step which is in Podium, selecting device, import plug ins from folder, negotiate your way to the folder with the new plug and click open. Now it is in Podium.
How new to this process are you? Are you currently able to use any plugs in Podium?
Good luck!
sam cThanks, I thought that might be it.
