Fractal Fanatic
I was going to post this in the Wish list forum, but it isn't really a 'wish', more a ponderment (new word time folks). :encouragement:
The new Reverb has impressed me so much that I think it's about time to get the XL. There is just one thing though, with all the expected experimenting that is going on there are a lot of users who are getting high CPU usage. I totally understand this is normal, getting such silky, smooth reverb takes a super computer to perfect; however it raises 2 questions for me:
1) Is it worth waiting to see if Cliff will release a higher powered Axe unit with a CPU that has more headroom for the advanced Reverb algorithms? i.e. don't buy the XL yet, wait to see if a more powerful Axe Fx comes out of Fractal's magic bag in the near future? Tbh, this question is more hypothetical as only Cliff and a select few others know the answer to that.
2) Is the CPU high usage really an issue? Or is it the result of something new with FW16 that everyone is still learning how to use properly (and efficiently)
