Maschine 3.0(.1) Lag

in Maschine

I bought the new version 3 when it came out. I experienced extreme lag. Video is delayed so much. Mouse pointer is inresponsive, and I even can't identify which note being played by the locator is stuttering and off time also. Even on my Studio controller there's lag.. When monitoring samples while being in Browser sound is also delayed and same for story for the screens..

In Maschine 2 everything is right on time.

I had hopes for version 3.0.1 to solve this problem but it didn't

I now tried to activate Windows Ultimate Power Plan, which did not succeed.

So, I opened the Task Manager for further investigation. CPU and memory are having lots of overhead but my GPU is at a load of 100% !! My GPU isn't one of the highest qualified (GT730-4H-SL-2GD5), but it is one of the higher rated Silent GPU's out there and should be capable of running 4, 4k screens. I now only run one 4k screen and when opening Reason and Ableton I don't experience any problem at all. And for example, Maschine 2 is ocupying 10% of the GPU when playing.

Also noticable is that downgrading the resolution to HD (1920x1080) and Ultra HD (2550x1440) solves the problem. But that latest eats a lot of GPU.

Is there a reason for this high GPU tax in Maschine 3, or better said, can this be fixed in an update.

My rig is build with some larger fans to don't experience those high whinning noises, where GPU's are notorious for.

Thanks!

    I did some more investigations. It is the 3d load that seems to be much too high.

    See the taskmanager below. When the load drops I stopped Maschine 3. This was captured on a 2550x1440 resolution. It's quite obvious now why 4k resolution is giving so much trouble.

    With.. 'stopped Maschine' I mean: stopped Maschine from playing, not close it.

    given that maschine 2.x works well, stick with that till the fix comes out

    you of course will be waiting like all the rest who are likely waiting for an update on the issue you experienced!

    i have a tendancy to wait before doing any updates to maschine or any software& keep an eye out for people having issues… you obviously aint the first person to make mention of sluggish responses, and i suspect you wont be the last!

    in any case, thanks for highlighting this

    Hey, good to hear (or actually bad..) I am not alone with this. I actually couldn't find much about it, expect someone who solved it, but it was on a Mac maschine.. No experiences of lag for Windows as far as Google could find. I even thought it was because of my rig.. or some problem with the 14th intel processors..

    To be honest, I really like the newer GUI font size, especially with a 4k screen. The high load on the Videocard was something I wasn't aware of till yesterday. After I posted my problem I decided to order an GTX3050 fanless videocard. Hopefully this GPU can handle the high GPU load and things will get better in the future..

    Having the exact same issue too. Really disappointing considering how long we waited for this. I'm getting to a point where even I am considering abandoning Maschine as a DAW. Sad because I love it
