Hey all, I’m using Kontakt 7 on a brand new Mac Studio m2 Max chip (12 core, 64gb ram).
When I use Kontakt 7, two things are bothering me, wondering whether anyone else has had the same problem?
1. With some older libraries, in particular Spitfire Audio Kepler Orchestra (came out 2019) it’s stalling in certain [possibly more demanding] string patches - as you can see from my screenshot the Logic CPU (circled) is using one full bar of processing thread. As a result it’s clipping. It’s basically unusable in this instance. Especially when I try to record a loop. Even when I use my 2013 MacBook Pro, it clips, but to a lesser degree. How is this possible when this is an m2 chip? The only difference is the MacBook is using an older version of Kontakt, 6.6.1.
2. The other thing that I find crazy is that when I click ‘x’ to exit Kontakt, on my Mac Studio, there’s a slight delay. However, on my old MacBook, it exits instantly. Could it be because I have a lot more libraries loaded on Kontakt 7? Does that generally slow things down?
Cheers for your advice!
