maschine users: how many gb of ram do you have?

i just switched my maschine over from a pc with 2gb of ram to a laptop with 3gb of ram, and the difference is very noticeable, with much less glitcihng, but wtf, it still is glitching at times & maxing the stupid ass processor.

i just made a track this morning with a few different sections, and i havent even put drums on it yet and it's glitching pretty significantly when i have only a few different loops going at once.

i am using all 3 of the effects channels on most of the sounds, so i guess the only option is to resample the pads to clear up the effects processing and use less ram but that is seriously lame and a big pain in the ass.

what is the point of having this super gangster beatmaking unit of fury but it maxes the processor so easily and totally holds me back?

thumbs down NI.

 

Check youre not red-lining the Volume meter (in the top right).
I found that as I stacked in more sounds and groups that the internal vol. would be going up. yet speaker vol. didnt. This lead to distortion etc.

Maybe...

 

on other forums it advises you render parts to audio as often as you can.
certain plug ins such as kontakt hammers your cpu with some addons such as studio drummer,alicia keys..

aso wht soundcrd your using plays big part too,i hve two computers one is running xp 2gb ram and the other is win 7 4gb ram..on the xp pc im using a emu 0404card and can get much lower latency than my win 7 pc using my firewire mbox pro..ram is only part of the solution ..try playing about wih your ltency,buffer settings also run massive in eco mode if you can it will be a massive help doing this.

 

i'll definitely try the volume down, word.

and yea, rendering sounds to free up effects channels is probably the only sure fire way. it's incredibly backwards though and makes me :angry:

 

Sounds like you need to get a new computer

Im on a i5 3.3 with 8gb of ram , these cpus are so good for music production especially with a ssd, I had 200 tracks open in ableton and it wasnt even anywhere near 100% load

I upgraded back in february , its amazing the difference it makes , before I would have too start freezing tracks when my cpu load got high now i dont even need to bother

 

If you're maxing out the processor, more RAM probably isn't the solution. Get a faster machine.

As far as RAM goes, though, my laptop has 6 GB, and my studio machine has 16 GB.

ew

 

It's time to upgrade the machine... Do a cheap(er) than normal upgrade, meaning a few parts. I recently (this past week) upgraded motherboard, CPU, and RAM for 384$... And things I couldn't do (that I still say I should've been able to do prior) can do with ease now. I'm still in the test phase, but gladly the machine is taking everything I throw at now and laughing in my face like "what b____, that's all you got"...

I've always stuck with Gigabyte and Asus boards that had good reviews, but this time I went with a brand I never tried... BioStar (TP67) and it's been the best build i've had to date, and I have a lot of builds under my belt.

Newegg has some good mobo/cpu combo deals, check them out.

And like the other poster said, the i5 (2500K) CPU is a straight up WORKHORSE... Just as good as having an i7

 

thx for the feedbacks, some good things to consider.

 

i used to get this on my old xp machine (pentium d, 4g ram) but since I upgraded its been a non issue, I can still get the CPU to bug out using only samples (like a different full track on each pad in multiple groups) so maybe it's a ram issue, either way with 8-12 g of ram its not goping to be a practical problem.

 

Mac OS X 10.6.8
2.2 Ghz Intel Core duo
4GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

I'm running between both standalone and Maschine as
a plugin within Ableton Live, no issues.

I'm flying in either mode. I especially like the fact that Ableton sets within Maschine tracks load pretty quickly as well. Nowhere close to how long pure Ableton Live sounds load.

Hardware!

 

Win 7
Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0Ghz

maschine + 8 GB = keys to a ferrari.


thanks again gbrown44 for puttin it down like that, that is what i needed to hear. now i can actually murder ****.

peace

 

Win7 64bit
Core i7 965 Extreme
24Gb RAM
4x 128GB SSD as RAID5
4x 1TB HDD as RAID5
Adaptec 5805

Its okay, but the startup and sample load is still anoying slow even on that system.

 

Mac OS X 10.7.4
Core i7 3.4 GHz
16 GB Ram 1333 MHz DDR3

I'll second moogman79's frustration. I thought my system would run Maschine with lightning speed, but I also experience a lag on sample and instrument loading.
