In this video I’ll show you four things you can do to dramatically lower the CPU load in a REAPER project. In my example project of several virtual guitar amps and virtual drums I brought the CPU use from around 42% to just 5%.

One response to “4 Ways to reduce CPU load in REAPER”

    Thanks, Jon – I’ve been wanting to experiment with sub-projects as my MIDI templates can get really huge, particularly with a couple of dozen instances of Kontakt and Opus. I love the fact that the audio files will update – as I’ll find a mistake I need to fix – or something – and this seems like an elegant solution. Many thanks!
