After a few minutes of using the [snapshot~] it stops working or samples in a random manners, only if I shut the program and restart it, or disconnect [snapshot~] from its wires and undo it, or delete it and then undo it back it returns to work properly.

(The problem goes just the same with the [number~] which release its values as a floats from it's right outlet) .

The s2m wacom object is real old now, I've been trying for months to get my app past apple notarization but the s2m.wacom object is too old to fly.

Anyone have any hunches how I might get around this? Some other way to read the wacom pen pressure?

Hey, I have strange problem, when I enter a fullscreen of jit.window on extended monitor, or projector, window disappear and max goes freez and crash. Main laptop display works fine. When I switch projector as main display, and laptop display as secondary, window crashes on laptop display. Nvidia graphic driver is updated. Thank you very much for every idea.

I'm hoping someone here may know how I can send OSC messages from Max to another computer?

In this case, I'm actually sending to an ETC Ion Lighting console.

The connection needs to be hardwired, so it would go from iMac with Max to router to console via Cat5 network cable.

I have tried using the udpsend but do not know how to get the message out of Max. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can provide more context if needed.

I have several versions of projects and patchers that are showing up in the 'open recent...' menus, and for productivity's sake I want to clear/erase this menu, but there doesn't seem to be a solution.

Max starts very slow on Windows 10 and 11. I try different machines, decent hardware e.g. AMD 5700U, 16 GB RAM. fast NVMe SSD. Other software behaves generally as expected. Disabling the "Virus &Threat Protection" did not help. I see nothing special in the processes, no excessive load on CPU. It takes minimum 35 seconds to start. It is empty Max of course, no patches loaded. Plugins scanning preferences set to "minimal/fast". I do not know what else I could optimize. Anybody else with that problem?

PS. On my MB Air M1 with only 8 GB RAM it is almost instantly up and ready (<1 s).

The [loudness~] object increases the RAM used over time on Windows.

Setup a [loudness~ @interval 50] object and run an audio file through it. For more more obvious results, copy 10 versions of the loudness object and have it report into the [live.numbox] with the LUFS units like shown in the maxhelp patch.

Over time, there should not be unlimited increasing RAM use.

Over time, the memory used by Max on Windows increases until audio processing starts to get garbled/glitchy.

Depending on the requirement, [average~] in RMS mode, or maybe [M4L.envfol~] for envelope following for workarounds.
