I’m experiencing it with Cubase 8.5.20 on Mavericks 10.9.5, but I think it is because of my weak videocard (stock Nvidia GT120 512mb) and the high demanding video resources from OS X. Don’t think is a Cubase issue as it aslo happens with Pro Tools 12.
I noticed you have a Hackintosh, maybe its better for the GUI?
Other from that It seems to be a general issue when handling audio events and zooming. For example, moving an audio event when magnified is really sluggish and actually quite difficult to move it where you want to. Interestingly enough, when slipping it is fine, not sluggish…weird no me.
I’m still getting GUI lag. Not sure if it’s from older projects started in 8.5 but it still lags. Moving your mouse lags the play head too. Some things are snappy but the main things that we used on a daily basis are laggy LIKE ZOOMING in and out
In the hopes of me coming back to Cubase at some point: Could the few of you that are NOT experiencing any kind of sluggishness/jerkiness when zooming, etc., please please please get in touch with Fabio/Steinberg Tech and tell them? It’s clearly a major problem for many users on many different forums that I’ve visited, and it would help Steinberg to know about any systems that are not experiencing it. Thank you so much! (I’ve got a trashcan Mac 6-core, and PT and Reaper and any other apps I can think of are/were all perfectly crisp-moving and fast at all times on it; just Cubase has this issue for me.)
I’ll try C9 when the Trial is available, maybe I jumped the gun…though there are some here who are still experiencing the issue. We need to hear from a lot more Mac users on this!
Hi guys I just downloaded sierra. The mixconsole lag disappeared when moving my mouse around. but the GUI lag is still there on the project page it’s not as bad but still not good. I can tell so far from my experience sierra is way more solid than el captain.: From my experience:.Pro tools performance drop on sierra
