    Does breakaway use more cpu than stereo tool? Just curious. Thank you.

    Without wanting to get into an “Us and Them” discussion, there are many reasons why CPU numbers may rise, no matter which program is running. These include the actual PC configuration (processor, RAM etc), running background processes, input and output buffers, number of threads invoked by the options selected.
    Having said that, I’ve seen numerous streams running out of the one PC running Breakaway, with CPU utilisation no higher than 20% peak. I don’t have a comparison figure for Stereo Tool.

    When I run ST as a plugin from within Breakaway One, I can say the CPU usage is higher than the Breakawayone HD core. However, how much more depends almost entirely on what processing effects you have enabled, obviously. I use a few higher CPU effects when set to low CPU intensity (Pi3) at 150% quality. This results in the BAOne VST host (with only STereo Tool running) are about 7.5% while the BreakawayOne core application processing a single HD core at low quality/latency remains around 2.5%.

    I hope this is helpful.

    edit: None of this is with MPX processing, or FM or anything like that enabled. So I can’t speak for that impact.
