CPU Problem Solution!

1 month ago I returned back to OSX, buy a macbook retina late 2013, as always mainstage for live use. Unfortunately I found CPU consumption problems, was using EL CAPITAN, did downgrade and the same.

I started mulling over what could be and those things run mainstage low resolution, which was the surprise, down from 45% to 24% consumption. Perform several tests and returned to launch mainstage normally, to touch and change patch comes several times to 100%. Again run in low resolution, perform the same tests and hopefully CPU consumption reached 60%.

Accordingly, apple has a bug with handling the GUI in mainstage, so running low resolution "fix" part of the problem of consumption.

As is done:

1. Go to the Applications folder

2. Right click on the icon mainstage

3. Select "information obtained"

4. Mark "open in low resolution" box

To enjoy.

Sorry for my bad English: P

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), Chile

Are you running a 13" MBP by any chance?

I take it this is only an option or Retina Macs? I don't see that option anywhere in "Get Info" (what that dialog box is called in English). Funny, you said you had a 2013 MBP? I didn't think those were Retina machines, but I could be wrong.

*sigh* in any case, even on my non-retina machine, the GUI seems to hit the CPU pretty hard. I'm GUESSING that I'm running MS in the equivalent of low-res mode, but who knows. Could really do without the 3D modeled faders and pedals, once I really get them working, it's very clear that the CPU takes a nose dive, and I sometimes get delayed notes!
