Increased lag time?

Post by Pthetitan »

I'm not sure what the reason could be, but I feel as if I'm noticing a slightly delayed lag time when I open up MX9 and when I mix clips down to a new clip. I'm on Windows 10, Intel i7-8700 16Gb RAM so I don't think it's my hardware but I'm not sure.

Ah I must have worded that weirdly. When I use the "Mix to new clip" option or ctrl + W, it takes longer than MX8 took to create the merged/new clip, both with MIDI and audio clips.

Have you updated to build 442 yet? There were a bunch of bug fixes.

Hi,

I'm not noticing any difference. Hard drive speed would make a big difference here. If you were using a slow drive for your project files folder, it would take longer.

I'm resurrecting an old topic, but my hard drive is a 250GB SSD with about 50GB of free space so I don't think that's the issue. Maybe I'm not remembering MX8 correctly, but reversing and mixing down clips never took this long and really slows down the process for me.

Hi,

The next time you notice this, quit Mixcraft and send us your mixcraft-log.txt file.

To find the mixcraft-log file, highlight the following line and press Ctrl+C to copy it:

Code: Select all

%appdata%\Acoustica\Mixcraft\
Press the Windows Key+R to pop up the Run box in Windows. Click in the Run box and press Ctrl+V to paste in the line from above. Finally, click OK to go to the location of the mixcraft-log.txt file. Submit an Acoustica Support Request and attach the log file along with a brief description of the problem.
