Mac Capture times need help? insight? solutions?

ToneX Capture - Advanced

ProTools HDX3 Recording Studio Rig
2019 Mac Pro Rack 3.2GHz 16Core 6600GPU
3+ hours

Bedroom FPS gaming rig
AlienWare R13 Windows PC Ryzen 3.7GHz 6Core NV3070 GPU
18-20 Min!!

I can't afford the time or money to tie up my recording studio for 3+ hours per capture.
I can't run 100 Watt Marshalls in my bed room.

The Mac Pro is a serious power house
It seems none of the CPU or cores are being leveraged to do ToneX model magic.
Apple has been anti NVIDIA for years now,, I'd buy a 3070 in a heart beat if that was a thing.

What CPU/GPU is ToneX using to do math?
How can I help it?
Is there something I can buy?
Is there any special settings in MacOS?
Can IK help Apple / Mac use the large amount of CPU on board?
Can IK address Ryzen / AMD GPU power for faster Capture math?

Anyone have $.02 to share?

any Help i can get...

I had a 2020 Macbook pro, the last Intel model. Advanced training for an amp (no cab. no stomp) took almost 2 hours. I recently bought a new Macbook Air with the M3 chip and it now takes just under 1 hour. 2x the performance over a 4 yr old model? That's a huge jump and it may not be just from the hardware. Also, the older laptop was a Pro, the newer is a "less powerful" Air. During training on my new Mac, all CPUs are running at about 50%.

I know this doesn't help your situation, but maybe the old Intel Macs are not optimized with/for Tonex? Whether it's tonex or the system itself, it probably doesn't matter at this point since that platform has been largely deprecated. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that there will be big future improvements in performance for that platform.

I Feel...
TONEX Advance Capture sould be advertised is NOT MAC Compatable.

One capture should not take a half a day.

2019 MAc Pro Rack = industry standard for pro level recording studios
16core = power house
RTX 6600 XT = Fastest stable supported GPU per MacOS
Sonnet NVME raid = Fastest Storage that can be purchased

small words in fine print are leading to major disenchantment for me.

Can we get details as to help specing and purchase decisions for a purpse built Win PC:
What version of CUDA core works best?
What times should be expected by what model NVidea card?
Other factors; ram, storage, cpu, speeds ...is mfg type players in capture speeds?
Is it # of CUDA cores that equal speed?
Is the software optimized for certain cards or range of cards?

IK support??? ToneX Community???

Not ONE... tip.. on how to improve caputer times on a Mac Pro?

[Peter_IK]

This forum is not visited by IK Support. To reach them you can open a ticket via https://www.ikmultimedia.com/contact-support/sw

As for the TONEX community, I am not sure if they are quiet for not having any ideas about Mac captures or knowing that the capture technology is much faster with CUDA processing found on Nvidia cards and unfortunately as pointed out Apple does not like to play well with Nvidia from the looks of it.

Will report back to my Mac / ProTools using brothers and sister no matter the answer.
