I just purchased a 2014 13″ MacBook Pro with 2.6 ghz, 16 gb RAM.
running thru a Roland TD15 as the interface usb to Macbook.
Loaded SD2.4 and all my SDX pacs. Loaded Reaper. All works the way it should for the most part. I start off getting excellent Latency. Reaper shows me getting 3.0 ms latency. Excellent and totally un noticable.
If I practice for an extended amount of time. Seems to be about 30 minutes, all of a sudden, I’ll get a glitch, and then the latency is very noticable. Reaper still shows 3.0ms, but it’s not. it feels like 50.0ms. If I shut down Reaper and restart it, it’s fine. Even if I made changes and save the changes. It starts right up and Latency is excellent again. Then 30 minutes(give or take), the glitch happens again and I need to shut it down.
I just swtiched to the MacBook from an old Windows 7 machine(recently upgraded to windows 10) and I never had this issue. and I would have SD2/Reaper open for hours upon hours. I always had 3.7ms latecny and the glitch never happened. not even once.
I thought it might be Reaper, but it happens with Toontrack Solo as well.
any ideas where to start. I’d like to keep the latency as low as possible.
