I thought the issue might have been with a windows update so I uninstalled the recent updates (since mid-October) and restarted my computer. I…

CPU "clipping"/"glitching"
I've attached a video - CPU Core set to using 5 out of 10. When it's at 10 cores, it would sometimes go to 100% and starts to clip and glitch. As you can see, there's only one instance loaded and it's happening every time with certain instruments loaded. MacBook Pro 16" M1 MAX, 32GB, 4T SSD (Thunderbolt 4 drive), macOS…

Having an issue within Kontakt with the MDL Tones 'Ultimate Heavy Drums' library. As the track plays, with out any effects, and JUST the MDL library, the CPU begins to sky rocket and max out within seconds.

Huge CPU amount when using Maschine inside Ableton
I've been having an issue recently when using the Maschine as a plugin inside Ableton. When using ther default Maschine kits the CPU runs fine but as soon as load up Kontakt or Kontakt 7, my CPU immediately jumps up to 80% [in Ableton]; and 135% when actually playing the instrument. I've updated all of the Kontakt and…

When key lock is turned on and i try to scratch on my timecode vinyl cpu meter goes wild even shows a little bit of clipping but luckily does not distort or deforms sound, and after releasing vinyl to go into mix, cpu meter goes about half way and stays on that…

Traktor 4 Pro - Recommended Specs for 2x Traktor Kontrol D2 - Apple Silicon
Hello, i am looking for recommendations regarding what Macbook Pro to buy for Traktor 4 Pro. My current setup consists of 2x Traktor Kontrol D2 and an external Soundcard/Mixer. I often play with 3-4 decks and want to make use of the new Stems-Features, which probably requires more than the minimum recommended CPU for…

Is installing everything hard on only disk space or on more also?
considering 'komplete ultimate' has a lot of material, many people that have it suggest you only install what you want and will actually use. When I first bought it and got my new PC I went and installed everything… Is "only installing what you will use" because of your disk space or does having everything installed make…

Is it normal that 'Piano Colors' is quite a bit harder on the PC to run?
I know certain 'VST's' are harder on the PC(CPU,ram,disk...). The "sessions guitarist's" are harder than many others. I only tried using 'Piano Colors' a couple times, and it may have been a coincidence, but is it known to be quite a bit harder on the PC?

is there a "list/experience" from the PlugIn FX/Inst CPU consumption in standalone?
reason is, my workaround is a greater routing structure for Audioflow inside group and sound level and i need some sometimes verry low CPU consumtion PlugIns for that, to have a good CPU managment in standalone mode. Sometimes I bypass the PlugIn but sometimes I just need an EQ or Filter, witch I don't know, what needs…

Hi all ! Thank you Jedi Master for reading and investigating the MAO mysteries that currently concern me... My kontakt's CPU jumps to 100% for no apparent reason (screenshot) As you can see, I only use 4 instruments. I purged the samples and minimized all kontakt display and usability features.

List of MacOs Sonoma glitchy NI plugins/libraries

Logic Processing Threads using Kontakt 7
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…

CPU sticking to 100% on Muze Pianos
Hi, I think that Muze Pianos is the best on the market. Only one huge, HUGE problem. On playing, the CPU rises in a linear way and after 2 minutes of playing and then stopping, it as reached 100%. Then it takes forever to go down to 0. The sound stops correctly on key release or sustain pedal release but the CPU sticks up…

Traktor: temperature throttling on MB Air M2?
Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone experienced problems in terms of temperature throttling using Traktor on a MacBook Air M2.

M+ out of resources (cpu monitor=ram+cpu??)
Hi, just would like to share my experience with M+ and maybe ask some questions about the performance logic. I have loaded around 22 loops, 10s each. No inserts or further processing. THIS was enough to get me consistently out of cpu resources. it seems like "cpu" information includes also ram info, because having just 20…

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D
... has been released. Seems to be stronger than M1 Ultra, and I estimate that most probably also a bit more than M2 Ultra. It has only very basic iGPU comparing to M1 Ultra, but comparable to Intel's iGPUs. 16C/32T, up to 128 GB of DDR5 RAM. And big L3 cache which might be helpfull for Kontakt. The energy efficiency is a…

Cubase 12 vs Maschine 2 Plugin High CPU Load
I'm experiencing a lot of CPU spikes in Cubase 12 which seem to be caused by the Maschine 2 plugin. It could be many things at play, but I'm trying to isolate the issue as I think it may be connected with the move to vst3 - so I'd like to see if I can replicate the problems using the vst2 version. Problem is, Cubase is not…
