(Topic) Screen lag

Tue, 27 Oct 2026 08:16:03 GMT

Hello I am using a Mac Studio computer with an M4 Max, 64GB RAM, and a 2TB SSD I use Cubase 12Pro (Apple Silicon = Native) and Ableton 12 Suite as my DAW I can produce sound without any issues when using the FabFilter plugin during music work, but the screen is stuttering, preventing me from making fine adjustments to the plugin knobs. Could you tell me why this is happening and how to fix it?

Hi. Is anyone encountering or has reported GUI freezes for C3 with the latest Logic & MacOS? It can happen on a pretty much blank session. and occurs on and off. Getting an LLM to analyze a sample of the AUHostingService shows some issues. Ill post the sample below if I can. Version 3.02 Thanks guys!

Hi Alain, We did not include direct emulations inside the presets for Pro-R 2. However, if someone with a PCM81 record an IR and drops it into Pro-R 2, I think you could come close.

(Topic) Dynamic range of EQ bands to be more than ±30dB

Mon, 26 Oct 2026 09:45:01 GMT
