Crackling and popping after updating Analog Lab Pro and V Collection X synths

Software Instruments Analog Lab
#1

Hello to everyone!

Has anybody else encountered noticable cracks and pops while playing Analog Lab Pro (and I’ve also tested some other synths) after the latest updates? I did the updates today, January 20th and with the same buffer settings I immediately noticed the problem…

I am getting serious CPU spikes in Cubase also, goind to 100%… 128kb buffer size, which has been more than enough for a bunch of VSTs since I got this M1 Pro… very strange behaviour.

You can try it on Arcadian Pluck preset for example, it is very noticable there.

I am using Macbook Pro 14" 2021, M1 Pro, MacOS Sonoma 14.8.2 (23J126)

Cheers!

Hi @Mezzoniq. Welcome to the community.

Do you have the MultiCore setting enabled under Analog Lab Settings tab in the right panel?

I assume you also have the same Sample Rate settings like you have the buffer setting.
128 samples buffer setting can demand much but it also depend on the Sample Rate setting. I’m not familiar with MAC’s. What Sample Rate setting in Hz do you use?

I don’t know how much CPU power i used before. I don’t think it’s worse than before.

You can always try to reinstall Analog Lab.

Just tried Arcadian Pluck on Analog Lab Pro Standalone and as a plugin using Sonar 2026.

All good here. No crackling or ppoping at all.

This is on an i5 4670 CPU (Circa 2014), 16gig ram. Audio interface: Focusrite 8i6 3rd Gen 48khz 24bit 256 samples buffer size using ASIO drivers version 4.87.4.709. Nvidia GTX1660 Super, latest drivers, Windows 10 Fully patched.
