Performance Issues

Experiencing slow playback, glitches, or high CPU usage? Try the following optimizations.

1. Adjust Buffer Size

In Settings > Audio Settings, increase the buffer size to reduce dropouts. A higher buffer means more stable playback, but slightly more latency.

2. Reduce Effects and Plugins

Too many simultaneous audio effects can overload your system. Try:

  • Disabling unused effects.
  • Using lighter plugin alternatives.
  • Freezing tracks if supported.

3. Close Background Apps

Other applications may consume resources. Close:

  • Web browsers
  • Games
  • Video editors
  • Cloud sync tools

4. Enable Performance Mode

Enable Performance Mode in Settings > Advanced to optimize internal processing for smoother playback.

5. Update Everything

Make sure your:

  • Operating system
  • Audio drivers
  • Software version

are all up to date.
