Logic Pro Overload on a “good” Mac
Hello everyone. Although I like this community, I usually don’t write due to my own shyness. 😅 I’m using Logic 10.4.5 on a mid-2012 Macbook pro, and Logic just constantly overloads. Making music is becoming hard to do when I can barely get through less than 2 seconds of audio. I have a good amount of empty storage space, as well, so it hopefully doesn’t have anything to do with that. Logic also has a frequent tendency to crash. Especially if I’ve downloaded a new plugin. I don’t have an excessively large plugin folder, but maybe it would help to get rid of some free plugins I’ve collected. I don’t use a lot of plugins in my mixes either. Even then, in my performance meter, all processing threads hit 100% fairly quickly. Also, in the performance meter, the processing thread bar furthest to the right is always bouncing around 50% even when nothing is playing back. Mac stats - Core i7 Intel - 16GB of RAM - 1TB SSD - OS Catalina - Mid-2012 I’ve been looking for answers for months. I’ve tried... - Freezing Tracks - Closing other applications - Leaving ReWire off - Increasing Processing threads to "8" - Setting Process buffer range to “Large" - Using Larger Buffer size for Mixing - Turning off WIFI - Turning Off Bluetooth - Bouncing MIDI to Audio before mixing I’m not sure what else to do. I’d appreciate any help. Thanks.
