Hi,
Unfortunately the 2.7 update does not address the high cpu usage with the new 2018 iPad Pro (i have the 12.9’’ version. IOS 12.1.1).I have one Cubasis project made on an old iPad mini retina (5 years ago model) that on the new 2018 iPad Pro is playing almost at the same CPU usage (90%). Also on other host (AUM, GarageBand as well) and with many different apps, also AUV3, the new iPad Pro shows no significant improvement with audio CPU performance compared to the old iPad mini retina. This issue seems to be not dependent on the software side but rather to a missing optimization coming from iOS level, for all audio processes. My impression is that all the processes involved on audio management are not using properly the full power of the cores of the A12X bionic CPU.
Some discussion about this problems here:
Please ask Apple to solve this, since is quite frustrating for me having a brand new 1800€ machine that is going like a 300€ one.
Best Regards
Fabius
