MusicBeam Dropouts & Garbage Collector

If you are using Java6_14+ and have problems with dropouts or clicks, you can enable the new G1 garbage collector and see if that resolves your problems. To do that, change the following line in your MusicBeam.ini file.

JVMOption1=-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC

to

JVMOption1=-XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+UseG1GC

Windows users can find the MusicBeam.ini file in the MusicBeamVST folder, MacOSX users need to right-click the /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST/MusicBeam.vst file and select "Show Package Contents". The MusicBeam.jnilib.ini file is in the Contents/Resources folder.

Please report your experiences in this issue: http://tracker.bitwaves.de/view.php?id=80&nbn=1#bugnotes [^]
