Significant Performance Lag in Spectral Editing on M3 Max MacBook Pro Compared to Windows PC: Is The

I have noticed a significant difference in efficiency between Mac and Windows when editing WAV files in the spectral view. I own a MacBook Pro with the M3 Max chip, yet despite this, the speed when processing WAV files in the spectral interface is extremely slow. For example, even a simple operation like a +6dB adjustment requires a few seconds of waiting.

On the other hand, any ordinary Windows PC can perform such operations without any delay.

Since I need to perform a lot of spectral editing recently, I am considering abandoning the M3 Max and purchasing a new PC.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? Audition developers, what is your explanation for this?

Sorry, we're a U2U forum. We don't get developers, apart from very occasionally. I can't comment on your Apple device, as I only use PC's, but I think you can guess what my suggestion might be... (and it will be cheaper!)

Thank you for your reply. I already have both a PC and an M3 Mac. It seems I’ll need to add another PC, but if I do that, my newly purchased M3 Mac might as well be tucked away in the closet.
