Hi,
I love my AA2, but am wondering how much the resource load is in S1 6? Should I render? What is the savings in CPU, and what are advantages / disadvantages to this?
Thanks!
Mark
Hi @mark.holley ,
Aligned content in AA2 should be very low on CPU.
During the alignment however, it does try to benefit from multi-core and finish the alignment process as fast as possible.
What is the savings in CPU, and what are advantages / disadvantages to this?
This is really dependent on project and complexity.
Non-ARA format:
Once alignment is done, the CPU usage per track should stay the same. Disadvantage: it has latency to support aligning tracks backward in time. great when mixing, less great when tracking.
ARA2:
The actual alignment processing would usually happen per clip.
This is still very low in CPU usage, but depends on the project complexity (eg: a track with many tiny clips/regions might slightly more intense than a track with a single audio clip/region). Advantage: no-delay need as it’s being done ahead of time at the clip level. might be suitable for track (though with S1 you’ll need to add ARA instance to each new recorded clip)
Thanks,
Last question for today - what is the best way to render all tracks using AA2 in S1 6?
Appreciate it!

Checking back for answer on this…

Hi @mark.holley,
Sorry for the late reply.
I think the easiest workflow would be to use Auto-Align 2 as an Event FX (ARA) - with ARA, Auto-Align has direct access to the audio file so there’s no need to capture into the plugin.
To use Auto-Align 2 as an Event FX, select all the audio events you’d like to Align, right-click, and choose Auto-Align 2 under Event FX.
To render AA2, open the Macro Toolbar, switch to the Audio Editing page, and click ‘Event FX’ from the Rendering section. It works great.
If you have any questions, let me know.
Thanks,
Oran
