CPU maxin' out
My tune. I admit, I have a lot of VSTs running. Intel i7 with 32GB RAM. CPU is sitting at 40% even before I play back the song.
What is the first place to start?

Fresh off a hybrid. If I get a lot of responses, I'll raffle. You pick up near Mississippi Studios.
I believe this is the spec, but can't be 100% sure:
6061 Alloy Double-butted, 25mm rise, 8° sweep, 6° rise.
I present here two tools for making it easier to manage song lyrics.

Tools are free, open source, no ads, no BS.
Great condition, except...sometimes pattern of horizontal lines appears across the screen. Claude.ai says:
The most likely culprit is failing capacitors on the monitor's power supply board.
If you're comfortable opening the monitor, look at the power board for bulged or leaking electrolytic capacitors near the top — they should have flat tops. Replacement caps are a few dollars and it's a fairly common DIY repair if you can solder. Lots of YouTube walkthroughs exist for this.
Other less likely possibilities: failing T-CON board (would usually cause more dramatic artifacts), dying LED backlight strips (typically uneven brightness rather than overall fade), or a loose LVDS ribbon cable between boards inside the monitor.

If you can repair, please grab it!
