Question

Why do I no longer have control over multiprocessing and CPU cores? This is under Studio One>Options (Preferences on a Mac)>Audio Setup>Audio Device.

Answer 1

The multiprocessing and CPU cores parameters in Preferences/Audio Setup have been removed because Studio One now manages all multi-core and multi-processing related functions as part of Dropout Protection. For Dropout Protection to work, the application needs full control over these parameters. The upside of this is: there are less functions to deal with when setting up an audio device while Studio One dynamically optimizes CPU efficiency for low latency monitoring and plug-in processing.
