• HyperThreading / Multiprocessor Optimization

    The information in this article applies to:

    • SONAR 4 Producer Edition
    • SONAR 4 Studio Edition
    • SONAR Home Studio Version 4

    The audio configuration dialog (Options-Audio) has a checkbox "Enable MultiProcessing Engine" on the Advanced page.

    This checkbox is only active on multi-processing (or hyper-threaded) machines. When checked, the audio engine will use a dedicated worker thread for each CPU, and optimally distribute mixing and DSP tasks across multiple CPU's. You will notice significant performance benefits on true multi-processor systems with this option enabled.
