V2.0a: Higher CPU usage in EL2 mode?

This topic was created before release of the latest product version, and it may contain details irrelevant to this version.  Replying is disabled for this topic.

Hi Aleksey,

I'm using Elephant beta V2.0A (registered copy) in Cubase SX2 on a snare
track, where it does an excellent job.  In the new EL2 mode, Cubase's CPU
usage meter is about 10% higher than in the other modes and is rather
erratic, tending to increase during sections where the snare is silent.  This
doesn't happen in any of the other modes.  It behaves a bit like a denormal
problem, although adding DigitalFishPhones' Normalizer in front of Elephant
makes no difference.  The snare track is mono.  Oversampling and stereo
linking are off.  Have you seen this with EL2 mode?

Your plug-ins are outstanding; I've purchased several (after using the demos
for a day or so, there was really no other choice :-)).  Keep up the good
work.

Best regards,

Actually, I'm going to improve the efficiency of EL-2 mode (especially in oversampled mode).  It can be also true that this is a denormal issue, but which cannot be resolved by just adding a plug-in into signal path, because it lies in another processing plane.

Anyway, thanks for noticing this!
