Thanks for clarifying.
Are those new techniques and complete re-design then disabled if something is specified in the audioengine.prop file?
Because otherwise I do not really get what you are trying to get feedback on, considerig thread limit of the OS stays same.
Should be same for all kind of hardware - or are those improvements only active if the CPU could hit the limits?
Seems to be irrelevant to me HOW Cubase spawns threads, as long it does not spawn more than the limit of realtime threads.
But I have to admit I have very limited insight on this - and is more or less off topic.
Still I would prefer if Cubase and MS would adress the root cause itself or at least provide a timeline for it, to allow benefits of recent of multi core processors.
