I'm using a macbook pro with the OS X 10.4.8 (as i hear it's better for audio than 10.4.9) and I have SERIOUS CPU issues with the MOTU and Cubase SX 3. When I have the sample rate low, recording is fine, HOWEVER the second I add ANY kind of processing (even crappy built in equalizers in cubase) the CPU goes off the wall! I have to change the sample rate to 512 from 192 and even then the CPU is at about 80% and I'm only running 3-8 audio tracks (that's right not even MIDI, not to mention half the tracks are frozen) with very minimal processing. If i add about 3 different processing items (e.g. a compressor, equalizer and some reverb) the CPU goes so insane that my audio is inaudible and I have to up the samplerate again, this time to 1024 !! THAT'S INSANE. Even then the audio is barely audible and I just don't know what to do. I've done all the troubleshooting I can think of and nothing works.

If you have not make sure that you have the latest drivers on any/all software being used. Yesterday's software is essentially outdated any many cases a few weeks later. I purchased a UAD-1 Plug-In Package (new) about 2 years ago, and when I got the PCI card loaded along with all the software, the driver was already 3 generations old. It would do nothing but peg my CPU out. You may have already tried it, but if not, it is worth a shot.

Good Luck!
