SoundID Reference app slows down Mac

Hey ya'll,

System details:

Macbook Pro (15-inch, 2017) 

macOS 11.4 Big Sur

DAW: Ableton Live 11 Suite

Interface: Apollo Twin X

Is anyone else facing the issue where while running the SoundID Reference app their laptop slows down and starts lagging massively? Like you can't even do basic tasks like opening a window without it taking 10-20 seconds. 

The moment I close SoundID Reference app everything returns to normal speed. This is so frustrating.

Furthermore, the kernel_task process jumps up to anywhere between 200% - 500% CPU usage, compared to the normal 10-20%
