@Hans - Whenever you have a chance, can you look at the Noise Gate code for any performance issues / improvements?
To give you an idea what I'm seeing, and yes, it is more than just a number seen:
Azimuth ON
Stereo Boost (90s) ON
AGC ON (3-band, combine, head correction)
Multiband ON (clipping and EQ enabled)
Bass Boost ON
Bandpass ON (auto)
Singleband limit ON
Phase Rotator ON
Final Limit ON
Hard Limit ON
CPU load with all that with Beta099 is 5-15%
Enable Noise Gate in addition to that (still no Loudness), CPU load goes up to 30-40%. With Loudness, I'm up into the 60s again... Disable Noise Gate, leaving loudness on, and it drops back into the 30s-40s...
It may be that's just the best that it can be, but I remember saying that you didn't look at / use Noise Gate all that much...
Hm, I just tried and I'm getting 27% without noise gate (everything else turned on), 29% with noise gate.
This might be a memory usage issue again, or a Task Manager issue. Could you try the following:
Instead of switching Noise Gate on and off, keep it on but switch Multiband on and off. My expectation is that you'll see exactly the same behavior. (In Stereo Boost 90s - do you have 'Protect against excessive reverb' enabled? If not you might get a very diferent behavior due to some optimizations that I'm using.)
Multiband on / off does indeed do the same thing. I thought I had checked that, but I guess not. The reverb protection is not enabled. Enabling it makes no change.
