I have just set up my new M2 Mac book air. I’m running an Audient id44 with the latest driver. Im getting some major audio dropouts as I play. these are NOT crackelling but total drop outs.
the system is an M2 with 8GB of ram and a 256 HD. looking at the Activity monitor im only using 3.5-4GB of ram and the CPU load is only 11-20% as im only running 2 vst’s.
iv come from a 9th Gen i5 PC with 8gb of ram and have never had any issues.
so as such I don’t think power is an issue.
