How to use Process Lasso to improve a cpu audio program

Hi
I hope somebody can advise. I was pointed this way. Bought the software and now I'm faced with "What do I do with it".
Here is the problem. I have an audio program called DJ.Studio which I use to produce mixes as a DJ. My system is six years old. I have 16GB on board and the CPU (on task manager) is hovering around 30% when in use. However, if I do complex mixes involving STEM separation, this can increase CPU usage and memory usage to nearly 80-90%. Any work is slow.
I know I need a CPU with more clock cpu's (My computer has four I understand) and maybe more memory. However, How can i use Process Lasso in the right way to improve things. I'm looking for smoother transitions and less slowing down of the mix processing.

Any help would be appreciated

If this is an Intel CPU with E-cores, set Efficiency Mode OFF rules for those processes, as they may otherwise get relegated to the E-cores and that would substantially impede their performance. Setting the priority classes ("CPU priorities" in Process Lasso) of those processes to "High" would also achieve this, and might be something you'd want to do regardless.

If there are other processes contending for the CPU, then you could try constraining their CPU affinity by dropping a few cores and reducing their priorities.

If the load is entirely within this application and nothing else is vying for system resources, then your options get more limited. The nature of the application's work processing, namely its threading model, wouldn't be something that could be externally affected.

Finally, if the load is bursting, and you're not already in a high performance power plan, then you may benefit from use of "Performance Mode" on those processes.
