What does high cpu usage mean on norton

I cant record because of pops and now its speeding up my bass track during pay back. I only have a track of drums, guitar and a lead going. Re: High CPU usage Post by Acoustica Greg » Fri Nov 14, pm Hi, With a laptop, sometimes just plugging it in to a power source can make a huge difference if it is in battery power saving mode. If you're not already using ASIO in Mixcraft's sound device preferences with your 2i2, then give that a try.

Go ahead and watch the video to see if any of its tips help. Since you don't connect to the Internet, it won't hurt anything. Second, use task manager to see what is using the most CPU next time you see usage go high. You might be surprised to see what is churning away in the background that is really eating up your horsepower.

Win 8 has a lot of extra stuff going on in background. Tom My Music on Soundcloud. Followed it to a t. Today I was recording a bass track, heard a small click on about 4 places on play back.

Then I noticed the track tempo increasing. Seems like I didn't have this problem when I had Norton installed. I uninstalled it and bang, this stuff happens. I will check my task manager next time. Wish I new what did what on computers, I would get rid of everything that didn't have to do with mixcraft and the operation of the computer.

This computer is soley for recording only. Things were great before. Very frustrating. Kudos 0.

Tech83 Virus Trouncer Reg: Jul Dinkiej Have tried running basic system maintenance? Tech83 :. That might help too wouldn't it?

It means your Central Processing Unit is at max, or over normal usage for all the programs you have running. It can be caused by having too many windows open at the same time, having an out-dated driver, overheating, and other factors.

There are free programs online like "FixCleaner", and others to help you with your problem. Or you can do a search with " Manually fixing high CPU usage" and see what it brings up. I hope this helps.
