Creackely sound/slows a bit in some of my instrument when i playback

Hiya im relatively new to Maschine and i have this problem that i thought i would fix by adding more RAM to my computer
so i went from 4GB to 12GB, 1067MHz DDR3
i have an imac running OSX 10.9
2.8 GHz intel core i7
when i play back the song that im working on it sum times crackles and slows up a bit...anyone have any suggestions please its making it very difficult to work on stuff i am in 64 bit mode as well forgot to add...
cheers

 

I would take a look at the soundcard settings, mess with the latency a bit and see if that helps. I'd get crackling/slow-downs a lot when I had it too low.

 

thank u ill try that

 

i have a question....how do i find the sound card setting on my mac?? sum where i read that the machine does not like quad core systems whic is what i use..?? i dunno gutted really it a pain in the back side!!

 

out of curiosity are you on maschine 1.8 or 2?
i am running a quad core i7 as well and haven't had this problem and I am using 1.8.2 maschine software.

 

Hiya I'm running the maschine 1.8.2 have not upgraded yet

 

THANK YOU!! 2.0 was the answer to ALL my prayers!!! its amAZZZZZIIIINNNNGGGG!!!! uses little CPU!! Uses Multi Cores!! VERY HAPPY CHAPPY!!!!!

 

Can someone help me. I need to add pics to show you
They say its buffer size and i see that no where. Massive CPU i cannot find in preferences either. I am using maschine 2.6.whatever and i have a 4gb ram windows 8 surface pro128 gb
my songs crackles and speed up and slow down
it hurts my heart please anyone
Thanks in advance.
the same thing happened to me on a slower 2gbram 16gb computer and the only instruments i had were instruments from massive

 

go to File, Preferences, Audio and there is your buffer size. make sure its around 512. also, make sure you have over 25% on space in you hard drive, as this effects performance. in bigger projects more rame is needed. 4 probably isn't cutting it. to help with the performance impact when you make an idea, internally sample it and delete the original so it dont have to keep reading the midi data as this take up more processing than audio files.

you should really make a new thread though. its rude to the original poster

 

i dnt see buffer size anywhere under preferences
im sorry if its rude didnt think it would be since it hasnt been closed
thanks anyways
