I updated my upgraded hackintosh (Gigabyte Z370p-D3 with Intel Core i5-9600k, 64 GB DDR4 PC4-23466 RAM, AMD Radeon RX 560 GPU, 1 TB Sabrent Rocket Q NVMe SSD) to Catalina from Mojave (I can't go newer because my Firewire audio interface won't work in Big Sur or newer.  I've tried), and I'm experiencing some performance problems.

 

I use Adobe Audition 2020 fairly often for editing and production, and when I record with default buffer settings, everything is laggy and samples get dropped.  Previously, the same configuration worked flawlessly under Mojave.

 

What is wrong?

 

My config.plist is attached, in case maybe I misconfigured something.

What benefits did you get when you upgraded macOS Mojave --> macOS Catalina?

I get to run Firefox ESR 140 instead of ESR 115, and I can run VMware Fusion 12 instead of 11.  Other than that, it seems about the same to me.

For your hardware and outdated version of Adobe Au, the most optimal version of macOS is Mojave.

I'm inclined to agree.  I've downgraded back to Mojave, and now, aside from a bug that gives me a black screen in the Recovery OS, everything feels smooth again.

 

I guess this is where I'll stay until I can get a better audio interface (FW audio in general was deprecated in Monterey and removed outright in Ventura, and my particular interface's drivers aren't compatible with Big Sur).

 

I tried.
