I have Amplitube Max (most recent version) and have been using it mostly without issues for a couple months. I sometimes play right in the app but mostly use it as a plug-in inside Ableton Live. In the past two weeks I've began to experience issues with abnormally high CPU usage and crashes. Basically, I began to notice that when recording multiple guitar tracks with the plug-in applied, my CPU usage is going way up, sometimes as high as 90%, but usually around 50%. This was not the case when I began using Amplitube inside Ableton.
More concerning, I've had three instances where the project I'm working on just won't load - it crashes Ableton every time. I was thinking that this couldn't be the plug-in, since I have other projects with equal or more tracks that don't crash the application. On the other hand, I sent the project file to a friend of mine with a stronger computer and he was able to open them, but said the CPU usage when he loads them is extremely high. So we thought it was probably the project overloading my computer. I am using a MacBook Air M1, 8GB - so I'm aware it may just be an issue with my computer's capabilities.
I'm on a trial version of Ableton Live and will probably go back to using Logic or Reaper when it's done, but this seems to be a problem with the plug-in itself. Has anyone had similar issues, or have tips/advice?
