Jitter M4L performance issues

Post by wolff parkinson white » Tue Jun 29, 2021 9:40 pm

Ok so I am running a pretty CPU RAM heavy Live set and am generating audio reactive GL visuals in some Max Jitter patches, running as M4L devices- it works well. with decent framerate, 30 - ish . Once I open/edit the main patch ( there are some smaller Midi send patches) in Max though, it drops to 5 frames. So i have to edit the patch with an empty dummy Live set.
I have a gaming PC. I set Ableton to run on the dedicated graphics card, as well as Max.exe in C:\ProgramData\Ableton\Live 11 Suite\Resources\Max.. It seems that Max is running on all CPU once it's open ( not within Live) - All though it doesn't show a large CPU spike in task manager when I do it. Any pointers?
