  • CPU usage Logic vs ProTools

    Hi all - I am considering moving from Logic 9.18 to ProTools 10.3x for my main DAW. I have a pretty extensive orch. template spread across 2 computers (main and slave) which requires 10 instances of VEPro. I have begun to setup my template in ProTools but I noticed immediately that once I load it all up the CPU usage is just about double in PT (according to Activity Monitor in OS X). This is just "idling" ie. not playing any notes. 

    Is ProTools lame in this area, or is Logic just really efficient?

    I have 11 gb of RAM, running OS 10.68
