Please help me make Maschine faster........

It takes a good while between loading samples etc .

I have a fairly decent laptop with an i7 processor . I'm considering deleting everything and just using it for Maschine in the hope things will improve?

I can't even imagine taking it with me to a gig at the moment it's so frustrating.

I've had other programs like Cubase, Reason and Ableton running fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

 

Where are the samples on the hdd's vsti's batch resaving kontakt libs, ate you running a virus scanner etc. We need more info especially what's happening and when (task manager).

Hi mate, I'm not running a virus scanner and everything is saved to my c: drive

 

OS?
If Windows what version? Full specs. Any further info?

Some points:

Clear up any gunk. If you've installed lots of applications in the past, done several Windows upgrades etc. Sometimes it's nice to wipe the entire C drive and start again.

Then...

1) Make sure in power management (advanced) CPU min/max is at 100%.
2) Disable windows services you do not need. TIP - You need a firewall!
3) Remove anything from windows startup you don't need.
4) Learn and use latencymon, that's going to tell you the current situation.
5) Make sure all your windows drivers (that includes your chipset drivers, try Intel driver update, and display adapter), firmware and windows update is up to date.
5) Remove any applications you aren't using.
6) Get an SSD, have at least 16Gb of memory. Buy a decent audio interface.

 

You should be unless you are fully offline, how do you know you don't have viruses eating up processing time and memory? How do you know you won't have in future? You can exclude processes and files from your DAW virus scanner, performance should be fine if your scanner is half decent.

 

If it is just samples you're loading that are slow, it could just be that you have a slow HDD, but if you also mean any instruments/plugins from the browser (that may or may not be sample-based), it could just be that you're loading fairly intensive plugins/patches.

What do you mean by "a good while" though? How long?

 

That's a good point. My advise is simply about improving performance and resources of a PC.

Samples will load faster of course ideally using a SSD, or putting them on a separate partition or different hard drive.

 

Thanks for all the replies.

I'm not the best with computers so I'll show my bro this thread and get him to sort it.
