The graphics are interfering with drumming Macbook Pro 2017

Post by eyal83 » Tue Jun 05, 2018 6:15 am

Hi,
I just received my Aerodrums and I really like them. However, I am having an issue with the app and my Macbook Pro 2017. I am getting hit a lot with the message "The graphics are interfering with drumming"...

It recommends to switch to lower graphics mode by pressing CTRL+G, however, this doesn't solve the issue most of the times.

Here are the details of the Macbook:
MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports)
Processor: 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3
Graphics: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 650 1536 MB

What should I do?

Thanks,
Eyal.

The performance indicator in the top left corner of the drumming screen should appear green nearly all of the time (and it should display 125 FPS). Does it frequently show red? This indicates a performance problem that will greatly affect your ability to drum.
Usually this can be fixed by switching to one of the Cmd+g modes but here are some other things to try:
If you're running in full screen mode, try running windowed (or vice versa).
If you are running off battery, could you try plugging in your MacBook to prevent power saving mode degrading graphics performance.
If you have other processor intensive applications running in the background could you try closing them first.

Turns out it was 2 things:
1. I was using a USB hub.
2. My computer was not plugged in.

Once I changed these 2 things, everything runs smoothly.
