Topic: Totalmix CPU Usage on M1

I'm getting about 6-9% cpu usage from Totalmix on a 64GB Mac Studio with M1 Max processor. None of the FX are enabled in Totalmix. This seems quite high, is there anything I can check? No change after reboot and no DAW app is open or anything, just sitting silently.

Connected to a Fireface UFX via USB, pugged directly into the Mac. Running latest MacOS Monterey and Totalmix 1.75, Driver 3.27.

We don't think this is 'high', and it is % per Core. So overall near nothing.

Re: Totalmix CPU Usage on M1

My old trashcan Mac Pro is using about .2%.

6-9% is considerably higher, and on a processor that is several times faster. Is this just a difference in how it is reported in Activity Monitor?
