I’m very frustrated that whenever I load a project in my DAW (Studio One) that has Analog Lab Pro, I cannot actually use my DAW for several minutes because Arturia Software Center spikes up the CPU to ‘Very High’ and makes my DAW unresponsive.
I don’t know what the software is doing at this point (license verification perhaps) but no other instrument affects my DAW like this and it’s getting to the point that I’ll avoid using Arturia instruments unless I have absolutely no choice.
This is a real shame.
Please list your system specs and what audio settings you use in your DAW.
Does this problem occur when AL is launched standalone?
HI @madfloyd and welcome to The Sound Explorers Forum!
As @Funtmaster has suggested, we can’t really help you as you haven’t listed your system specs yet.
Operating system, audio interface etc…
HTH!
Ps,
Please make sure to subscribe to our Newsletter to be the first to know about the latest from Arturia.
ASC shouldn’t launch every time you load-up Analog Lab Pro. Why have you even got it open? I think we only know part of the story here, so we’re stabbing in the dark.
Hello @madfloyd
, do you launch “Arturia Software Center” when starting your PC or before using your DAW.
I do it every time in case there is an update pending in the installer to avoid waiting for it to authorize me to use it on the DAW.
No problem with FL Studio except when I have too many instruments in charge due to the performance of my PC.
You don’t need it to be open most of the time, why are you opening it? If its causing an issue why not stop opening it?
I need to make a correction: it’s ArturiaSoftwareCenterAgent.exe that is the problem.
And it launches automatically. I can disable it by renaming the .exe but this is not a long term solution as Analog Lab won’t always function.
I’m having this issue on two different Windows PCs. One is Win10, one is Win11. The latter is my laptop (i9-11900h), the Win10 machine is more powerful but I can’t give out specs right now as I’m traveling.
Audio Interfaces are RME BabyFace Pro FS and Universal Audio Apollo Twin.
I run my audio interfaces at 48/24.
Interestingly, if I make a project with ONLY the Analog Lab tracks, ArturiaSoftwareCenterAgent runs and settles down fairly fast. It does take a high hit to CPU but unlike my other (larger) projects it doesn’t hijack the CPU for very long.
You can manually kill the process in the task manger (control/shift/Escape).
Or you should be able to disabled it loading at startup.
A workaround could be to disable it in the start up menu, and create a shortcut to it for when you need to run it.
