actually Cubase uses so-called Asio Guard by default (in settings) to handle heavy processing by increasing playback buffer when it needed (while CPU load is increased gradually). try to turn off Asio Guard completely or leave it on minimum state, then do test again))) after that i think results will be on par or at least not so huge in terms of amount of tracks)) one more thing i'd like to mention: when asio guard is turned on, you are not able to play (vst) instruments in real-time or monitor mic\guitar via daw in real-time (cubase in this case) without noticeable latency, even though that buffer size is low in settings (32-64-128). just retry the test and you'll see :) there is another point: it seems Ableton doesn't have similar goodies in its audio-engine unfortunately)) but maybe Im wrong))
Nice comparison! Not a big surprise Cubase is the clear winner. 🙂 In the future, you might want to be more prepared and planned when doing videos like this. Use a premade saved preset, so you don't have to create one every time from scratch. This also keeps the sound consistent and speeds up the process. Same with your notes, prepare a simple midi file and use it. Also make sure the settings in Serum and in the used DAW are consistent throughout the tests.
It wasn’t planned to make a video btw 😂 but you’re right, next video will be a little bit more planned. For consistency of the settings I can say it’s all consistent. The unison was set to the max, if you mean that. It just looks like it was set to 1 in one test, but if you look closely (and listen) you see the actual settings a few second later for a very short time.

Thanks for the reply, I’ll definitely check it! Didn’t see those menus because there’re too much of them 😝
@@BennyFade Maybe verify that the reported latency in Ableton/Cubase is close or matching, and try different buffersizes etc if not.
Cubase, forever king of the DAWs 👍
I’ll try to get into it a little bit more to make a in depth comparison between ableton and cubase. But I like it so far.

@@BennyFade Great, thanks for the reply! Looking forward to your future videos. 🙂🙌
Excellent test! Like always my boy cubase win will like to see more videos like this i subscribed
Thanks for your sub, appreciate it.
In low cpu usage, reaper ia king
Haven’t used Reaper for a while, but yeah, performance was great
my cubase 13 takes way more cpu then ableton
They fixed both a lot in updates.
