I have an M1 MBP with 32gb of ram running Monterey. Reason native FX and Instruments are like feathers on this processor and most VST's max out at the heaviest 40% but some Phase Plant patches still cripple it with one instance while playing chords. So I wanted to see what the results were for others and what setting are being used.

So here's the set up.
Audio Threads used: Default & 6 (There weren't many changes between 1 - 5 threads)
Buffer: 64 - 1024(I adjust after each pass)
Chord Seq: Classic House(key doesn't matter I guess) set to 2 bars with the first and second chords playing back to back. Playback is from CS not the transport controls at the bottom.

Lets see how high the CPU meter gets on each patch. I only picked a few so as not to be all day with the testing. I'm wanting to see if these are just outrageously heavy for everyone or of there is a sweet spot for setting.

Phase Plant:
1.Blue Messiah Pad Maxed out 103%
2. Blurr Maxed out 80%
3. Charron Maxed out 73%
4. Fahrenheit Maxed out 74%
