    Hi there to the VSL Comunity! I have a problem with my VEP Software. It shows, that the CPU usage is 99%, so it doenst work very well and everything sounds awfull and some instruments stop playing. But Windows shows me, that there is only 40% usage of my CPU. Where is the mistake, how can I activate the power of my CPU, so that VEP realize that! I'm looking forward to an answer :) Cheers Michael :)

    VEP can utilize any number of CPU cores you have availiable. You can set the number of cpu cores under "Preferences" on the VEP Server application.

     As far as I know the percentage display in VE PRO does not show CPU exclusively, it's a kind of overall efficiency display also including performance of hardrives etc. So when VE PRO goes over 95% than you reach the performance limits of your system generally.

    Yes this is correct. The ASIO meter takes more than CPU performance into consideration. But if VEP is left at it's default core/thread setting (2?) and you have 4/6/8 core CPU, VEP will show a maxed out CPU meter as soon as that one core (2 threads), has reached it's limits. So try increasing the number of threads availiable to VEP.
