A common delay between the soundtrack and the lights on macOS in QLC+

Hello,

I'm experiencing an issue with the QLC+ timeline mode on macOS where both the audio and timeline blocks are delayed, regardless of whether I'm using an older Mac from 2013 or a new MacBook Pro with the M3 chip. The delay is about 1 to 1.5 seconds, which disrupts my workflow. However, this issue doesn’t appear on Windows, where everything runs smoothly.

I don’t think I’m the only one experiencing this issue. If there’s a solution or workaround, I'd really appreciate any advice!

Thanks in advance.

Good morning,
This problem also occurs randomly on Windows.

First, QLC+ is not a timecode machine. If you need pinpoint precision in timing, you need another solution.
Quite a few projects use Reaper. It can instruct QLC+ what to do with the lights at a specific time.
