Audio dropouts and performance issues after new update on M1 Max Macs
Answers

same issue here with M1 chip

More detail, please... MacOS version? Buffer Size, etc...
Everything is normal on my M1, benchmarks done here have the same result on both versions.

for me, testing now as I write this still.
M1 Max, buffer is 512 for me, 64 gig ram maxed out gpu. My cpu meter is SUPER jumpy, I mean it is moving almost as much as my audio meters, something is clearly not working well. Changed sound card, no change in performance. When adding or removing plugins it also causes the CPU to flip out and you can tell the whole software is being bogged down by something. Mac OS I'm still on Ventura, never upgraded to Sonoma due to compatibility not being official.
It FEELS sluggish is something I cannot describe well, feels to me there is a bottleneck somewhere I just cant figure out where, it's like the software is running on 1/4 power, it is struggling with normal tasks

No, not from you, you did enough for now thank you! For M1 Max at this point we already know something is def wrong but @bbwinston mentioned just "M1", I have an M1 and it does not have the issue you reported.

Sorry, so Macbook Pro 2021, M1 Max chip, 32GB RAM, macOS Sonoma 14.1.2 (had the same issue with Ventura as well), RME Fireface 800.
using 48kHz, Buffer usually 128 samples, but tries much higher multiples too, helps a little but the issue is the same. Using lots of other plugins, no issues with them.
So, my issue is crazy crackles and popping when using maschine as VST/AU plugin (MIDI mode). even hitting one note produces these artifacts and also there is a significant delay. Using Reaper as DAW. It was better with the earlier maschine v. 2.17.4 - now the issue is more pronounced.
Standalone maschine is kinda ok, this more of a plugin problem. however, the CPU load is not distributed evenly in any mode, always cores 1&2 out of 10 go to red

Oh, M1 Max too, Ok. Thanks for reporting!

Both my M1 MacMini 16GB and M1 Max MBP 64GB (latest Ventura Update) have the same issue here, seems like GPU utilization is crazy when crackles/pops start, ie. for many Plug-Ins (once window is opened).
Hitting REC kills it very quickly...?
Is the any place to download 2.17.4 app or a rollback mechanism, cannot work...many thanks.
EDIT: Just found a 2.16.1 app, on both Macs instant cure...can even work with 128 smp buffers at 44.1 again...

Same trouble.
M1pro 10/16
Macos Sonoma
Maschine Standalone
Project with 9 tracks including drum group cracles even on a 1024 buffer. On previous versions i did a much larger projects with no issues at all, a whole year everything was OK

I am also having these same issues with a Mac Studio with M1 Ultra , Mac OS Ventura 13.6.1, is there any way to get back to the previous version of the Maschine Software as 2.17.4 was completely fine, waiting for a fix to become available is a bit counter productive imo , I would have expected by now to be able to get a previous software version from a support downloads page of some sort .

I haven't used my Maschine that much lately, but it seems I am having the same issue on a normal M1, 16gb of ram.
Yesterday I loaded 1 kit, 2 tracks with a drumloop, just to sketch out a very basic and simple idea. When I added a polysynth track, heavy crackling, sound dropouts, basically unusable.
Such a behavior I would expect loading 30+ tracks with cpu heavy VTS's and a bunch of effects.
My settings, which I haven't been changed for quite a while: 44100 sample rate and 512 buffer size. I am on Maschine 2.17.5 , and macOS Sonoma 14.2.1
EDIT: just out of curiosity I loaded a few older projects with a lot more going on, they worked fine. I started a few new projects, with some random stuff (kits, loops, VST's), just to cause cpu load. I wasn't able to reproduce the problem I had yesterday.
