I think could be some background process that start when you don’t use nothing on computer, es. Spotlight indexing, Mediabay scanning, antivirus or similar others.
I had this issue with low latency values. No problem increasing audio buffer size.
mmmm…
…try to open the process monitor app. Is in Utility folder.
Resize and place it on a side in you screen. Try in this way to detect process running more “hungry” when you notice Cubase bars activity peak.
I don’t understand what is the dibox message you have to close manually. Can you post a screenshot?
1- [Command]+Shift+4 and you’ll see a new cross mouse cursor: select the screen area you wont and then you’ll have the png photo placed on your desktop.
2- when you reply to a post, near the Option tab under the text field, you have the “Upload Attachment” tab, go there and select your png file from your desktop.
For other options to make screenshot, you can try:
[Command]+Shift+3 for screenshot all of your mac screen
I’d suspect some power scheme problems. I don’t know the details of the power schemes for C6 on Mac, but on the PC, Steinberg messes around with the power profiles.
Since you were away for several minutes, the cpu processing nothing - it could have been put to “low power state”.
@ Tom
Tanx sooo much for that.
Sounds simple so I’ll give it a try.
@Lazzerman
That sounds like exactly what is happening. Tanx for pointing me in that direction.
I’ll do some more investigating re: ‘power scheme’ management.
