Reaktor 6.5 and Mac OS Sonoma. Issues ? Fixes ? Updates ?????
Hi there
I was recently "forced" to update to Mac Os Sonoma (14.1) because of a glitchy Monterey update that bricked my MBP (thanks a lot Apple. It's a known issue and I'll pass on that because it makes me angry).
I noticed that almost everything is working fine in Sonoma, but some Plugin Alliance and Native Instruments plugins.
More precisely, and speaking only about NI plugins, I noticed some glitchy CPU spikes with Reaktor and/or Kontakt but it's difficult to pinpoint the culprit with precision.
I know for sure, as a fact (because I noticed that in a session where I've got only 2 tracks and 2 plugins), that the Razor's preset "Fairy Tale" is causing some crazy CPU spikes.
I use a MBP M1 pro that is ultra solid otherwise.
Do you have similar issues ? Is it a known fact ? Is a fix planned ?

I'm on a M1Max and Sonoma. Fairytale has always been one of the more demanding patches, on my system it uses 8-10% of 1 core so is usable though, whereas most use just 2-3%. Not getting glitches

Strange...
On my system this Fairytale patch uses the exact same % of my CPU (at least, as indicated by the CPU meter in Reaktor), so it's clearly very low and in theory usable, AND it produces the CPU spikes I'm speaking about... I can even see them in the CPU meter in Reaktor : it stays at 8%, and sometimes there's an orange or red bar and it's the CPU spike.
Are you using Ableton Live 11 ?
I'm becoming a bit mad wiuth these issues. I'm thinking about re-installing everything from scratch because since I needed to update to Sonoma I've got problems with Plugin Alliance and Native Instruments plugins.
Today I noticed I have also an issue with Kontakt, but only on some patches, and I don't see any clear pattern so far.

No Logic (I can try in Live though)

If you could try this patch, yes it could be great.
I was playing it at 48kHz / 128 samples, only one sustained note

I always work at 48 myself anyway (and 128 as a rule) - sorry I can't replicate this - took a screen recording to show you (and this is just using the MacOs native Studio Display drivers, not even my Fireface) - where it climbs higher I'm using chords of 4-6 notes sustained - I'm on Sonoma 14.1.1

Thanks a lot. So it must be something else in my system…

This morning I wanted to record my screen while running my faulty session : no CPU spike !
I'm gonna search for an occultist to take care of my issue, and will come back here to tell you what happens exactly on my machine... 🤔
