Mp3 export slower than before?

Post by Tripi »

Has anyone else noticed that the mp3 export seems slower than before? Is it just me? I'm on the latest version of DP, and I remember that they got rid of the need to install the LAME codec at some point. Are they using a different system now? I tried using iTunes to convert the same wav file to an mp3, and it finished in about a 10th the time DP took to export it.
12-Core Mac Pro, OS: Sierra w/ DP9 - always the latest version. Love of film music.

It is... or WAS until MagicD suggested I play with the settings. Now it is waaaay faster.

THis is my current setting. Lower rez will probably be faster.
