(New User) Question about Multi-CPU (does not seem to work on registered 15.3)

[xcluysen]

Hello All,

I have made a trial of cbPoweramp in late November. The program was so fantastic that I decided to buy it.
However, I ran into this little problem. Now that I have the full registered version, it does not seems to use all the available CPUs in parallel.

With the trial version, in November, when ripping, it was, for example :
-Ripping track X from CD
-Encoding track X-1 with CPU 2
-Encoding track X-2 with CPU 1
The program was clearly stating which core it was using, and I had up to 4 tracks worked on at the same time.

Now with the registered version, only one track is worked on at any time. It says "ripping" then "encoding" and then sequentially goes to the next one.
Ripping time have increased by about 30-50%.

Setting :
SecureRIP (using AccurateRIP whenever possible, Ultra Secure with min/max 3/6 passes, stops after two clean passes), MultiEncoding to FLAC on a NAS and MP3/CBR 320 kbps on local HDD at the same time.
I did not even modify the settings that I tested in the trial version.
All the CDs I did so far are using AccurateRIP.

Platform : Windows 7 64-bit / Core i7 Quad core / 8 threads.

I already tried to uninstall/reinstall the program, but there was no changes.

Best Regards,
Xavier.

Sorry to have bothered any of you - the problem is solved.

Turns out the check box "Multi CPU" in the Multi Encoder Settings was unchecked, either because of Registered version install, or because I clicked on it by mistake. Checking it back solved the problem.
RIPs now back in the 2-3 minutes range ! What a great program this is !

Best Regards,
Xavier.
