![]() ![]() (Side note: I have not yet *fairly* compared Reaper's Windows vs. ![]() I'd guess that some caching routines in the Windows builds are missing in the OS X ones, or that there is a similar explanation on the OS level as for the issue described in the OP. It would be good to both devs and users alike to at least notice where any (remaining) differences in performance are between the Windows and OS X builds (and, in a similar vein, 32 vs 64 bit builds), apart from any currently missing features or bugs that are platform-specific.Īnother example of something like this (without meaning to hijack the thread, I want to point out the more general pattern): when opening the plugin folder for the first time after starting Reaper, on OS X it takes *much* longer to display the full list of plugs. Is this a known issue? Are my expectations too high for the Mac software? Does anyone else experience this? I searched the forums for others with the same issue, but couldn't find anything useful. Also, it doesn't seem to make any difference when using either the 32bit or 64bit versions of Reaper in either operating system. (Keep in mind, I am only referring to the responsiveness of the GUI for things like scrolling and zooming the project window.)Īll the other parts of Reaper are performing well for me on both Mac and Windows, but this laggy interface makes it feel really clunky and makes me want to go back to Windows, even though I really want it to work on the Mac. But, to my amazement, this exact setup in Windows 7 while running an identical project performed much better than on OSX. ![]() I thought maybe the graphics hardware in the Mac might not have been up to the task of running my 24" external monitor at 1920x1080 in addition to the laptop screen and expected the performance in Windows to be relatively the same as in OSX. So, I installed Windows 7 (64bit) on the MacBook via boot camp to really test this apples to apples (no pun intended). One of the first things I noticed after opening an existing project on the Mac is that the Reaper GUI doesn't respond as quickly as when running in Windows (compared to my previous machine). I recently switched from a PC to MacBook Pro for all my music production. ![]()
