MASCHINE Crashes due to Performance Issues If you experience audio artefacts, crackles or stuttering before MASCHINE 2 crashes, the crash is probably due to a performance issue. Please refer to this article which explains how to manage computer performance in MASCHINE 2 in order to avoid this crash. The only software I'm using is fl studio on win7.I'm increasingly using logic on osx along with the adobe range for design etc etc. I don't see why you wouldn't do it if you have the option? At the end of the day you could use a Commodore 64 with a tape deck for all I care.
Very sorry to hear about this. Please check to see if you're using a firewall which may be blocking your DAW's access to the internet. If so, please enable access to the internet.
If this isn't the case, please reach out to our support team with detailed steps on how you get the crash to happen, and they will be happy to help from there.
Mac only (PC instructions further below): You can get a crash report by opening the Mac Utility App called 'Console,' then navigate to 'User Reports' on the side navigation and locate the '.crash' file that starts with the name of your DAW (for example 'Logic Pro X'). The crash files are labelled by date and time, with the most recent appearing on the bottom of the list. So if you can reproduce the crash, then grab the subsequent crash report and send it over, that will be very helpful! Here's a screen shot of what Console > User Reports looks like when you find the crash report:
Both Mac and PC: Lastly, if allowing internet access in your DAW didn't do the trick, please send us your log file. To do this, please open the ARCADE plugin and go to the Menu tab. From there, please click Account > Generate Logs which will create a zip folder on your computer. Once you have this ready, click on the 'Help' icon of the support page to submit a ticket, and we will be in touch to help further.
Fl Studio
Hey everyone, I decided to put fl studio onto my desktop instead of using it on my laptop because it over heats a lot now. Anyway on my laptop i use fl 9 and it never crackles and the cpu load rarely goes over 50% (this is a 2.0 ghz dual core and around 4 years old) and the buffer length is at the highest so that i can use it without annoying stuttering and crackling.
However when i put it on my pc (which has a 3.4 ghz quad in it) i was hoping for it to run a lot better than on my laptop but instead it is pretty much un-usable. It hits around 70% cpu load and crackles/stutters when playing a kick, a snare and a 3xosc. I've tried lowering the buffer length to the highest (8000 and something) and switching to the asio4all sound driver. This made the under-runs go from 2000 to around 20 but it is still stuttering like mad. I don't understand why its and wondering if anyone knew if it has anything to do with needing a new soundcard. But in both my laptop and pc i dont have a dedicated soundcard but the laptop has worked. RAM should also not a problem as laptop has 4gb and pc has 8gb. So just asking if anyone knows if this is a soundcard problem or just something I'm doing wrong? cheers in advance
