CPU peaks / audio drops (here comes another one)

Hi all,
I know this problem exists (sudden CPU-peaks and audio-drops as a result), but I wonder if anyone has experience with M-Tron Pro in Mainstage and these audio-drops.
I'm having those problems and they're really a pain in the ***. Can't use it live because of the drops and I really need the M-Tron sounds.
Airport or wireless networks are all turned off, Mainstage (latest version 2.1.2) is the only programming that's running, CPU-meter shows a default usage of about 10% and yet I keep getting regular audio drops/CPU-overloads when I use the M-Tron Pro plugin.
Strange thing is: in Logic I can keep playing the M-Tron for ages without one single audio drop... One wonders why the internal organization or CPU-management of two programs based on the same "logic" (or at least it seems) is so different?
No other solution for me than learn to work with Ableton and run a stable live system then? Or other suggestions here?

I ran into similar problems when using a 2.0G machine, now on a 2.4, and things improved greatly. A couple of things to try:
1) run your Activity Monitor utility to see if there is anything running in the background you aren't aware of
2) try downloading and running smcFanControl to run your fan at a higher rpm when using MainStage
Have you definitely isolated the culprit to M-Tron? (after eliminating other suspects, plug-ins, etc). If so, are there any ways to minimize the CPU hit within M-Tron (check manual and forums)? I don't have the software, so can't check. For example, I use Superior Drummer, and found a lot of CPU and memory reducing tips, which helped load greatly.

  • Audio drops and comes back out of sync but dvd preview ok

    hi All,
    i put some photos and videos together in idvd project. The used one of their standard sound tracks to give the background music. The preview looked great so i burned the dvd but to my surprise when a particular video played around 8 min into the dvd the audio dropped and came about a min later with other photos getting it totally out of sync. I have tried removing few photos before that video comes to shift the video's location, there is a minor effect, it playes the clips audio in sync for slightly a sec or two longer but then drops and come back out of sync when it is showing still photos.
    thanks in advance.

    We have heard nothing about any changes in Encore for CC. I would be very surprised if anything fundamental, like the preview engine, has changed. We really don't know what is still the old sonic authorcore, what may have changed but is still sonic, and what is Adobe created. I have always assumed the preview is sonic.
    Is the audio sync issue Bluray only, H.264 bluray only, or any particular audio formats? I don't recall getting the issue in Encore DVD playback.

  • Here's another one who can't connect with isight

    Hi Sandyclaws:
    The key is in the set-up-it's probably your router.
    I'd recommend focusing on one user at a time. Make sure you can connect to a user with no known issues, then have your friend. That will help pinpoint where the problem lies.

  • Ralph... here's another one for you

    I've had this problem where I can talk to Craig, Craig can talk to Joe but I can't talk to Joe.
    I've now fixed it so I can ANSWER an invitation from Joe and chat fine.
    However, if I call HIM, he sees the invite, tries to accept, then basically locks up,
    having to restart iChat completely.
    He's on a wireless router in his home, from a DSL connection.
    I went to his Mac firewall and opened all the 5000 ports, etc. and the 1024 - etc. ports.
    This seemed to make the difference in my being able to accept. I tried turning off his firewall completely and it's still no go.
    I'm still stumped. I talk with everyone I contact, all over the place. What's the problem with this one person?
    Thanks!

    Hi Rick,
    If the ports are open with Port Forwarding or Port Triggering it can be a NAT consistency problem.
    This app will tell you if this is the problem http://bleu.west.spy.net/~dustin/projects/natcheck.xtp
    The solution can be as simple as using UPnP if it is an option on the router or modems.
    This mirror of my site has some options to try various things regarding this
    http://homepage.mac.com/ralphjohnsuk1/skidoo/page15.html#CertainBuddy
    There is a bottom line on this and that is to try a different modem/router.

  • Here's another one weird I don't know what lol

    I have a header.php file where I keep my header and a navigation bar. 
    I included the file into a registration page which sits in the same directory.  works fine!
    I tried including it on my index page which sit in my root directory like it is supposed to and teh header only shows the JQuery UI element but not the banner and there is no style to the JQuery element.  I double and tripple checked the link and it is fine.  I tripple checked the link to Css and it is fine too.  As  test, I moved teh index page in teh same directory where my header sits. Voila! works like a charm.  I moved the index back out and links were updated and still the same thing.  I have the navigation bar but no banner???????????

    Alan, I see you as a fighter and as such, you should continue with your first website using currnt technologies.
    Start by placing all the documents that contain the web pages in the root directory, all jQuery files in their sub folder (as you have), CSS files in the styles subfolder, include files in an include folder and images in the images folder.
    My directory structure looks like
    ROOT
         CSS
         IMAGES
         INCLUDES
         JS
    When I include a file from the include folder, I make sure that the links in the include file assume that I am in the ROOT folder. This is because the content of the included file become the content of the main document when included.
    I would also upload my files to a remote server so that when I run into a problem, I can refer the person(s) helping me out to that location.
    Also remember, DW is not a saving grace, it is an aid to help us create a website.
    Stick with it, it'll only get easier.

  • Audio drops only on one of my two airport express

    I recently added another airport express to my network and the audio drops randomly while the first airport express never does that...
    The one that works well is next to my cpu and the one that does not work well is about 30 feet away. Moved the cpu closer but no luck.
    What to do ???

    If your Airport Express devices are configured to "join" an existing wireless network, what is important is the distance (and type of obstacles) between your Mac and the main base station, as well as the distance (and type of obstacles) between the Airport Express and the main base station - not the distance between the Mac and the Airport Express.
    Another factor influencing the quality of the connection is radiofrequency inteference - yes, even if one Airport Express works just fine.

  • My audio drops out randomly, hers is occasionally ...

    For the past year I have frequently used Skype on my Android phone (Nexus 5) to talk to my fiancee on her Windows 8.1 laptop. We do so from our respective homes, so we're both on WiFi to a solid Internet connection (DSL in my case, cable Internet in hers). I'm using the latest Android Skype client (5.0.0.55107) and she's using the latest Windows 8.1 Skype client (6.21.0.104). Ever since the Android 5.0 (Lollipop) update, my audio keeps dropping on her end for no apparent reason.
    This happens at random but frequent intervals and for short durations (ca. 30 seconds per episode). It is absolutely maddening. Even though she hasn't changed anything on her Windows 8.1 laptop, and I've reinstalled Skype on my Nexus 5, my audio drops out some of the time during every single call. This happens very often during a call. It's to the point that I can't even open my mouth without expecting that my audio will drop out in the middle of what I'm saying, so that I end up having to repeat myself. If I'm really frustrated, I'll just type what I was going to say.
    On the first few calls after my Nexus 5 received the Lollipop update, her audio would also sometimes drop out. We had to hang up and reestablish the call for her audio to come back on my end. Since then, we haven't had that particular problem, but sometimes her voice is garbled - as if I'm only hearing every other syllable - even though she's speaking directly at the microphone. Both systems (phone and laptop) are up to date, latest drivers, latest Skype, etc.
    Given that she hasn't changed anything at all on her end, it's rather clear that the latest Skype for Android has a problem. TL;DR: I appear to be "muted" to other caller at random, even though I'm not muting myself, and her voice is occasionally garbled. It happens over and over again during a call, without warning.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Unfortunately, although my audio is no longer dropping out, we have been unable to use Skype for the last couple of days.
    Last night, I could neither receive nor make Skype calls using my phone.  If she called, it would only ring on my desktop PC.  If I called her, it never rang on her end, and would either ring once or not at all (i.e. the sound effect I normally hear when calling didn't play) and would simply "fail" for no apparent reason.
    Skype on my laptop doesn't work well, because there is almost always a problem with my audio being replaced with a "white noise" type sound on her end at random intervals and durations. 
    So, we had to use Google Hangouts video chat last night.  It doesn't work that well either; frequently, there is an absolutely terrible audio feedback/echo problem.
    I hope Skype can be made to work again on my phone.  I've given up hope of it ever working 100% on my laptop, but I'd rather use it on my phone anyway, as it's far more portable.

    Cany anybody tell me, are we able to use the perfect screen from the water damaged ipod to replace the broken one on the new ipod or, would the water damage have ruined the screen too?
