Question re CD ripper / multi cpu

[twp]

Hi!
I have a registered reference (version 15.3) of dbpoweramp. Here's my problem: when I rip a cd, cd ripper uses only CP1 and CP2 (pass 1 ripping then encoding) even though I have an Intel i7 (4 hearts).
The multi-cpu works only when I encode files using dbpoweramp converter (4 files at a time). Can I get to use the 4 CPUs when ripping cds? Is there a problem with my settings?
Many thanks in advance,
Thierry

You would need a hyper-duper-insanely-fast cd drive to be able to rip so much audio data so fast that your processor core(s) couldn't keep up.

The CD drive has a single laser and so can only read data from CD, one track at a time, using a single cpu core. This is normal.

Right ;-) Thanks for the answer! And forget my candid question: I am pretty new to using it.
