Re: Re:Vst host was Mobius 2 now Bidule

Bidule never seemed that processor efficient to me when I was using it.  I 
did some comparisons between it, Energy, and Chained, and it seems to suck 
up a bit more power just by itself with no VSTs activated, which makes 
sense 
given that it is more sophisticated. I found that the processor indicator 
bar would max out much easier than with my other two hosts. Although that 
was with my old notebook. I'm sure it would work great with my ThinkPad 
now. 
This is why I keep coming back to Chainer. By itself, it seems to require 
very little CPU, and I've been able to load up multiple complex VSTs, like 
Reaktor metaphysical, PSP84, reverb, chorus, and delay VSTs, and Mobius, 
and 
still be under 50% CPU utilization. Before when I did that on Bidule, the 
CPU bar hit the roof.
