I wrote a friend about this issue and this is what he said: Someone on the thread mentioned the single-core performance problem, and on those M2 you only get to use 4 cores in total anyway. If you hit a core-intensive plugin the system will try to speed up the single-core performance but multi-core...

This is classic internet unintentional troll behavior. You're so certain of your conclusions that you don't see the need to give actual examples, and are annoyed at anyone who asks you to. You've decided the issues you and one other person have are due to "M2 portables" and act offended w...

For those of us who use AU, they offer the plugin in AUv3 format, which DP does not presently support. This is truly unfortunate, for there was a small window of time (now closed) where you could move your AUv3 plugins from the iPad over to the Mac, and they would work. Very likely because Mac plug...

Studio > Effect Performance Or Shift + Y. Hotkeys are your friends! :wink: As to the Beach Balls, I've often found that PACE/iLok to be responsible for this kind of behavior—for instance it cannot phone home, but that's a huge can of worms to tackle, and likely would piss off a whole bunch of punte...

ADDENDUM: The VST3 version works fine (first occasion I've had to use a VST plugin in DP on my Mac). The only VST3 plug-ins that are pretty much required in Digital Performer are Melodyne (only format of that MOTU supports), and Console 1 (VST3 is only format that allows full support of the hardwar...

I wrote a friend about this issue and this is what he said: After reading this post I have done pretty extensive testing with video resolutions from native to default, and many in-between. It didn't appear to have a noticeable difference in performance. It was still easy to max out the machine with...

This can be found by going to the DP menu command:

Studio > Effect Performance

It will open a side panel with a list of the plugins, and a meter illustrating how much cpu they are using.

Hey DG, I have seen this behavior, and I've posted a bit about it here . From what I've been able to test it seems to be an interaction of DP with Ventura. Other than your post though I've only seen this with an M2. So maybe it's a portable issue, because that's another connection. What I have seen ...

Lets all share a list of plug-ins below that you have found do not play nice with DP11 and which you have disabled. I recently got a new mac mini M2 and DP 11 and am experiencing very sluggish interface with half frozen Beach Balls that eventually clear. For me so far I can't get the Sound Toys bun...

:arrrr: I've sent a link to this thread to a contact at MOTU so they can look at it. Obviously, if as alleged, DP11 (and no other DAW) has a problem with M2 MacBook Airs, then they need to verify it and address it. I have a certain responsibility to verify this information as MOTU is kind of getting...

Well maybe it's specific to the MacBook Air M2 I guess. I wouldn't know. As far as users who have reported this problem here, there is exactly one. James, it would seem to be portables. I don't have an Air, as I stated previously I'm on an M2 MBP. But there's also this thread with an M1 MBP sufferi...

It would be nice if you moderated your tone a tad here. "Sigs are only a measuring contest" is the kind of statement that can cause unnecessary hard feelings. In a sense, this sentiment may reveal the emotional context underpinning your aggressive verbiage, which I personally find off-put...

Sigs are really only a measuring contest, and a waste of bandwidth. Yeah... well some people do indeed keep them updated and also it saves another user having to try to scroll back to the first messages of the post to figure out the system info. I don't view it as a waste of bandwidth. It's a usefu...

I have PPG and Blackhole. Can you tell me what combo (presets on both) that you are using. I'd like to see if I can replicate that. As I recall, that combo is nowhere near maxing a core on my M1 Max Mac Studio. Something must be seriously wrong either with the M2 and DP in general or perhaps (I say...

Sigs only get outdated if one doesn't update them! I posted this because I've seen way too many posts where folks don't provide any system-specific info at all. But if one is diligent in posting important details, I'm fine with that, although it can get inconvenient to always have to refer back to ...
