UI painting issue Studio One Juce 7

Hi, anyone come across slow UI updates in Studio One when moving to Juce 7? All other DAWs seem to be fine. Pulling the last Juce 6 commit fixes the issue.

Thx

What operating system is this on? What version of Studio One?

We’ve been seeing slow-GUI issues in Studio One 5 on MacOS with JUCE 6 for a while now.

I currently suspect there’s an issue of priority inversion on the juce::OpenGLContext render thread caused by locking the juce::MessageManager to draw the juce::Component hierarchy when the main thread is busy in big sessions. We’re still investigating and haven’t reached out to PreSonus yet (and could also be totally wrong :slight_smile: ). Symptoms are simply the frame-rate dropping from a steady 60fps to as low as 8fps.

Are you also using the juce::OpenGLContext to render Components?

Also reported here. I think there may be two issues in the mix as neither of these reports mention OpenGL.

Studio 1 5.

MacOs Monterey - not sure about Windows or other versions of MacOs.

I was having this issue too and I’ve found the specific commit that broke studio one for me. For my machine (m1 Mac Air) it was due to some FPS Sync code. See here:
