    Ok, i have a project in live. 4 tracks with vocals, one track with AU plugin bass, and everything works perfectly. I have a CPU-load of maybe 10-15%.... then i load up the Maschine plugin, and the CPU goes up to 60% and then 100% and then down to 55% -> 100% -> 75% etc.... just cycling up and down. Its not useable at all.

    This is my current setup and settings:

    Audio Buffer: Tested between around 500 and up to 2000 in live and nothing helps!
    Computer: Macbook pro 2,4, 4GB ram, 200GB Hd, newly installed legal version of Live 8. Audio interface: Yamaha 01x.

    As you might understand, its not even remotely workable this setup right now. It lags the whole computer like a virus or something and it makes me pretty frustrated actually. Ohh, and the pattern and kit on the Maschine has got NO fx, and is just 4 simple drum sounds = Simpler than that is a crime.

    Any tips`?

    You're seeing speedstepping. What I would do is update to Snow Leopard when it comes out; with that you'll finally be able to kill speedstepping on a Mac without any third party kernel extensions like Coolbook.

    Speedstepping! What is that? Sounds dangerous! :D Well, right now my setup sucks pretty bad at working with. Maschine is workeable stand alone, but as a plug in its useless. I just want to be able to work with my tracks :( Isnt it possible to work with the maschine on my present OS? In that case, this product kinda sucks pretty bad. I mean, its ridiculous if i need to have a quad mac pro with like 8 gigs of ram to run it.

    I´ve got the snow leopard update in the mail so hopefully ill get it on monday or so, but that also scares me. How will my yamaha 01x act with drivers from 2008 etc.... I had a beta/dev version of snow leopard installed before but i ended up with a Live that was crashing by itself after 4-5 minutes. That wasnt workeable at all either.

Im just f***n pissed off right now... if i pay this kind of money for gear, i just want it to work....
