To the best of my knowledge, the registry fix makes things more stable but yes you’re abandoning anything over 7 cores with hyperthreading. So this new Basin Falls range is largely a waste of time for Cubase users. Really hoping C10 changes something in the Audio Engine to get round this… the registry “fix” is certainly no long term solution and Steinberg will be making themselves increasingly irrelevant if Cubase can’t use new technology.
