So, I finally upgraded my laptop to an arrow lake core ultra 9 285H. Is there any specific advice for how to configure things vis-a-vis the various CPU cores available?
I presume Cantabile lists any audio thread as real-time so Windows should try to put it on a big core. Is there anything specific to be done to avoid problems?
First thing, check out the guide to pc setup: Glitch Free - Cantabile - Software for Performing Musicians
Of course. Sorry, I should have mentioned that I’ve done all the normal things related to Cantabile setup. My question is really about how the different levels of cores are managed. There are 3 different types of cores on Arrow Lake, and I really don’t know how they are managed, or if there are any things I can do to give Windows a hint to keep a demanding audio thread fom being assigned to a small core, or even worse one of the tiny cores.
The think I have found after recently upgrading to a Intel Core Ultra 7 and running on WIN11 is that most tweaks recommended in Glitch Free simply no longer work as whilst they are all still there and can be set, they are more often than not ignored as a lot of performance management is now happening at a level below Windows.
This makes a utility like Bitsum Process Lassoo an essential part of your arsenal as it can work at that level.
