If you are having an issue with your playhead disappearing, blank plugin windows, missing images, distortion in graphics, or sizing issues, this article is for you. Please take a look at the suggestions below:
1. On macOS, go into Studio Pro>Preferences>General and uncheck the box asking if you would like to use Graphics Hardware Acceleration.
- Graphics acceleration settings:
• ON: Smoother, faster plugin/DAW graphics, lower CPU load assuming the plug-in is fully compatible with GPU acceleration.
• OFF: Fixes sluggish (graphics) plugins by making Studio Pro draw with the CPU instead of the GPU.
2. Go to the manufacturer of your graphics card's web site and download the latest driver for your card. If there is an option that does not have a control center involved with it, try using that driver.
3. If you have a control panel available for your graphics card, try defaulting the settings. You might want to try disabling antialiasing and/or any 3D options.
4. If all else fails, try uninstalling your graphics driver, reboot your system, and let Windows apply the default generic graphics driver.
5. If you are using an NVidia graphics card and see some strange hieroglyphics that look like fractal patterns, try turning off "image sharpening" in 3D driver settings.
6. Review all third-party plugins used in the song. For each plugin, check for and disable any multithreading or graphics acceleration options available.
