More cores have not yet had much effect on performance as such. If your CPU is running at higher clock speeds, you will get better performance. My 3.5 years old 3930K 6-core overclocked to 4.2 Ghz will outperform or at least equal the new 12-core Mac Pro's. But, I think by now it is a well documented fact between audio professionals who write music with samples that more cores does not equal better performance! I am sorry to hear you are having problems.
I’ll run more tests on loading instruments in VE pro vs directly in Cubase, but I’d love more feedback on things to try. I’m running most of my instruments / synths off my PC sample slave, but I have do have some kontakt instruments running in VE pro on my mac, as well as some instruments and Vienna VI’s running directly in Cubase. I’m also running my system off an SSD, but the rest of my system is standard HD’s, though I have yet to get any sort of disk error in Cubase so I dont know if thats the bottleneck. I'm running Cubase 8.0.3 on OS 10.9.5 with 32GB ram (16GB free on the mac).
Would love to run it lower but it obviously peaks so much its unusable, and I cant go higher or I start to get sync issues with my PC slave and PLAY in VE Pro. My project is running at a buffer of 1024. Though his video is somewhat PC specific, I’ve learnt that raw CPU power does not mean you will not have real time peaks, but this begs the question - anyone have any advice / trouble shooting procedures I can try to reduce my real-time peak? Of course it was only after I did this upgrade that I found this wonderful video by our own Richard Ames (Thank you for making this!!!) I’ve been experiencing real time peaks on a recent project, so I thought an upgrade to the processors in my mac pro 8-core 2.93ghz to a 12-core 3.33ghz would solve it - but my real time performance still peaks just as much as before.
