Upgraded to 3x faster CPU, a Ryzen 3600, seeing only 10% decrease in ASIO performance meter...

That’s pretty good. ^^^ Mine is worse, still passes but I don’t care. I’m just mixing, hiccups don’t bother me, I don’t even know if I have them.

3600 has been good to me so far. Did dozens of tracks, never hit the CPU ceiling. If I had any doubt about upgrading to 3900x I’ve shelved them.
