Right!
How would I go about designing a CPU Meter found in Synthmaker as a separate module?
CPU Meter in Synthmaker
From the original SynthMaker forum (2004–2014), with its members’ names and dates.

Study C++ for a few months/years, buy a good decompiler, then hack away. Honestly. There are various versions of the "CPU Cycle Analyzer" that uses the Cycle Analyzer to count cycles, but it is kind of flaky on my older C2D, worse on quad-cores, & I've heard more worse on the newer intel iX CPUs.

Cheer Infuzion!
I tried the "CPU Analyser" however it brings forth readouts that differ from Synthmaker and digital audio workstations.
I do recall you mentioning years ago on another idea I had in mind, C++ would give me the answers. It appears the Microsoft Visual C++ I downloaded a few years will be to put to use after all.

FWIW, if you´re willing to use C++, the Portaudio library offers a method to measure CPU being used by the audio callback.

Funny..... I kept on thinking about this library I mentioned, PortAudio, and its CPU meter.... guess what? Looks like SM is programmed using PortAudio!!!
The library was updated in march..... I wonder if Outsim has updated SM´s audio engine to PortAudio´s latest version....mmmm 😉

How do you know that SM uses PortAudio? I doubt Outsim will do much updating; VST2.4 has been out for years & is more or less the standard, & SM is stuck on VST2.3, not to mention VST3.5 is out IIRC...

HxD.....do a search for "PortAudio".

How do I recover information on a desk top cpu now that my video output does not work? I could add a seperate video card, but need to upgrade power supply too. So instead Im buying a new cpu. Now the question is how to recover what is on the old hard drive...docs., photos, video and more. Can I connect the old cpu to my new one and drag everything over? What is the best way to accomplish this task? ____________________ market samurai ~ marketsamurai ~ marketsamurai.com

Welcome kepeliya,
The easiest way would be to re-use the old hard-drive. When you get your new machine, you should find that the motherboard will have a few spare connections for adding extra hard-drives. So you could remove the drive from your broken machine, install it in the new one, and just carry on using it as before (and would have even more HDD space on your new machine).
If you don't fancy taking your new machine apart, you could buy a cheap hard-drive enclosure. This is just a box that connects up via USB with a simple HDD interface inside. Put your old HDD inside one of these, and you can simply use it as a portable USB drive.
