Questions about Blue Cat Connector Demo vs M1 Pro stability
Hi everyone,
I am currently testing Blue Cat Connector to route audio from Gig Performer to Ableton Live on a MacBook Pro M1 Pro.
My current setup is:
Sample Rate: 44.1 kHz (matched in both DAWs and System)
Buffer Size: 128 samples
Connection: Localhost (same machine)
While testing the Demo version, I am experiencing regular audio dropouts and the ‘Drop Outs’ counter in the plugin interface keeps increasing every few seconds.
However, I noticed that the Drift value is very stable, oscillating only between -1 and +1 ppm.
My questions are:
Are these dropouts and the increasing counter strictly a limitation of the Demo version, or could they be related to my M1 Pro / macOS system?
Is the stable Drift value (+/- 1 ppm) a good indicator that the connection will be ‘glitch-free’ once I purchase the full license?
I want to ensure a 100% stable and high-quality audio stream for live performance without any pops or clicks.
Thanks for your help!
