I notice in your screenshots that you both have the channel that has superior 3 on it selected in Logic. If you unselect it, does the issues go away (or get any better at all)?

I’ve had massive issues with CPU spikes on a Windows 10 system running Cubase 10 Pro. Selecting or unselecting an SD3 track makes a HUGE difference! I went through all tips and tricks for optimizing my system for pro audio that can be found on the internet, without success, until …

I read somewhere that Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology could cause issues as well, so I deinstalled the software and deactivated Intel Turbo Boost and EIST in the BIOS. Only after doing this, I could (finally) start using SD3 again on my new workstation (X299, Intel i9 7900, 64GB RAM, 2TB Samsung M.2 NVME).

I still see some spikes in VST Performance when an SD3 track is selected but at least it doesn’t max out and I don’t get dropouts anymore.

Superior Drummer is the only VSTi that seems to have these performance issues and I wish, Toontrack could come up with an update that fixes these problems!
