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.

You are running under Rosetta which is interpreted. You need to run the Mac Pro natively to get good performance. This means Universal Binary (or Intel) apps and plug-ins.

This means Universal Binary (or Intel) apps and plug-ins. The Steinberg DAWs are the least CPU effecient of all the Mac DAWs, Check out cubase.net, there are a lot of users who are not happy with the performance of cubase4, so they run SX3 under Boot Camp/ XP to get good performance.
