Hey, just crossed from SSL to Itch/HC5000 as i'm doing venues with often poor or no playback kit.

Whilst idle, the CPU meter will be sitting around 15-20% but when loading tracks will jump up to around 70-80%. On some tracks it will actually max out, displaying the little red segment at the end. Is this normal for Itch? Will increasing the memory to 8gb help with this?

I'm running a Macbook Pro, 2.4ghz dual core with 4gb ram. Thanks in advance.
Serato, Support
