I've noticed that the playhead is not moving smoothly during playback. I don't think it's affecting the actual sound quality at all, seems to be just a graphics thing. Other than being visually distracting and disconcerting in general, I don't seem to notice anything else going wrong. But it does make we wonder if this behavior is a symptom of other things not working properly and I just haven't noticed them yet. Anyone else have this issue, especially Mac people?

In case anyone has a similar problem, I simply restarted my computer and that fixed about 90% of the issue. The playhead still could be smoother but it isn't being ridiculous like before.

Better an unsmooth playhead as dropouts in audio. Have you checked the DSP meter?

Yeah, this was happening even on very simple songs, low DSP.
