Audio Performance Window

Shows the average load of all audio realtime processes.

Shows the average load of processes that can be preprocessed.

Shows the processing load in the real-time path of the audio engine. The higher this value, the higher the risk that dropouts occur.

The overload indicator on the top right indicates dropouts. These occur if the processing load exceeds 100 % or if the audio engine is restarted due to the internal detection of too high processing delay. This might for example occur if the preprocessing buffer runs empty due to too high real-time load.

If it lights up, decrease the number of EQ modules, active effects, and audio channels that play back simultaneously. You can also activate the ASIO-Guard.

Shows the hard disk transfer load.

The overload indicator to the right of the disk indicator lights up if the hard disk does not supply data fast enough.

If it lights up, use Disable Selected Tracks to reduce the number of tracks playing back. If this does not help, you need a faster hard disk. To reset the overload indicator, click its display. In the Audio Performance category of the Key Commands you can also assign a key command for this.
