VSTi's stuttering playback
Hi, I'm fairly new to Reaper and am not sure if maybe I am doing something wrong or have my setup wrong or something.
I am getting poor performance on my laptop whenever I use VSTi's such as Serum or Fxpansion Geist 2. Even with a single track and a single instance of Serum running with a MIDI loop, I get frequent stutters in playback with spikes in request block size. Its making it fairly difficult for me to do any MIDI work in Reaper, as obviously a real project may use several VSTi's along with other effects, audio tracks, etc.
My system:
macOS High Sierra 10.13.6
MBP 2017
2.8 GHz i7
16GB RAM
Reaper version: 6.23 64bit
Request block size: 2048
Any advice on how to optimize Reaper for VSTi's? Other DAWs that I use on this machine don't have nearly as many problems with them so that makes me think its not just that my machine can't handle the load...
