Choose any other additional options to streamline your workflow. Choose Custom from the pop-up menu in the LCD section. Double-click the CPU meter to open it in a new, expanded window. Process Buffer Range: Set this option to Large. If you are using ReWire, set this option to Playback Mode. Learn more about setting the Multithreading preference to optimise performance.

Set automation preferences If your project doesn’t include automation, or the automation doesn’t need to be sample accurate, you can reduce the CPU load by turning off Sample Accurate Automation.

From the Sample Accurate Automation pop-up menu, choose Off. Choose the best sample rate for your project Projects with higher sample rates create larger audio files, which can increase the load on the CPU and disk. Use send effects When using CPU-intensive effect plug-ins such as reverbs and delays, you can reduce the load on the CPU by using send effects.

Optimise software instruments Use these guidelines when working with software instruments: When mixing, make sure to select an Audio track or an External MIDI track, not a Software Instrument track. Select a Software Instrument track only when you’re actively working on it. During mixing, you can raise the buffer to the max, which should help reduce that message. Worst case, along with a high buffer, you may have to start Freezing tracks once you get them to a semi final state. That could be the primary culprit.

If you have an external drive, try moving your project over to that drive, and run it off of there. It’s always good to have the Logic project on a separate disk from the OS if you can swing it.

It will drastically improve performance. Sep 27, AM. Thanks Pancenter, that was what I wanted to know. I think I’ll put in some extra RAM anyway, it won’t hurt and doesn’t cost that much. I do have my projects on a separate drive. I also moved all the Apple loops, EXS samples, Ultrabeat samples and impulse responses to that drive.

It’s a USB 2. Will it help to upgrade that to a Thunderbolt drive? The track selection thing is one I will keep in mind. I didn’t know that, so thanks for that one! And I’ll also try freezing the EZ-drummer tracks. Although I must say that in my rock projects, so where I play bass and guitar and only have the drummer as virtual instrument and may be some synths, but not a lot , the problem doesn’t occur that much. For obvious reasons the problem comes up when making trance, so with many different synth tracks.

I believe Sierra is as far as my old MacBook Pro goes. I’m hoping Apple comes out with a decent replacement in June. I’m going crazy the last couple of weeks due to cpu spikes over all four cores i5 2. Don’t use any virtual instruments except Geist, and I don’t have that selected either. If I restart Core Audio I get sound back, but it only lasts a short while before it happens again. Previously I always got system overload messages when the CPU couldn’t handle anymore. This is much more annoying.

Will try the resolution thing – I’m on a MBP with an external display, perhaps it will help to have the internal display closed down. Will also try reducing the resolution although that will suck in regard to screen real estate. I concur with what’s been said about graphics intensive tasks really weighing the CPU down.

It’s ridiculous, it’s not like Logic is a 3D shooter..?? Edit: I’m pretty sure this problem started occurring after the OS I don’t have time machine set up So Sorry guys The kernel task is apparently causing a high CPU spike because it is preventing the mac from overheating using some kind of safeguard, so the more CPU you use the higher heat of your mac Apparently these Macs have an issue with the head sensor breaking And then essentially deleting the file that controls that safeguard Haters gon hate.

Hi, that was quicker than expected Note this is for the kernel task. This worked for me, might not work for you, do it at your own risk!! However I do tend to just use it for music stuff. Now I have no problems with that, and I am able to get my latency right down! Hope you guys get your head around it! The article you provided, frogslap, says be careful and goes onto state that the authors MacBook Air never gets hotter than 70 degrees. My MBP gets too hot to touch so no thanks.

However I do believe the cause is correctly stated and thanks for that. What this really says to me is that my old Mac cannot keep up with newer demands of Logic and time to buy a Mac that does not have this flaw. Very helpful research. Ahh no way! Best of luck with your future challenges!

Hi everyone. I ve been having same issues after flashing my macpro 4,1 to 5,1 and changing to 12 cores , 32go of RAM etc But „saving a copy I mean i did not even shut the arrangement and load the copied one, i was still on the one causing big frustration. I did the operation again after rebooting the system and emptying the cache. And same! Even though Logic Pro lets you set your sample rate up to kHz , the smallest To change the sample rate of your project, click on File on the upper left corner of your screen, Project Settings, and then Audio.

There, you can expand the Sample Rate section and select your desired value. Alternatively, you could also store your projects on an external SSD and open them directly from it. This may unload your system a little bit. Do however keep a regular backup of your Logic files in any of the cases. Last but not least, if none of these solutions are giving you results, then you might have to invest in more RAM memory for your Mac.

These were our tips on how to solve the Logic Pro X system overload issue. Remember to apply these best practices not only when the problem pops up , but throughout your music making routine , so as to prevent it.

Also, make sure to try every single step that you can take right away before investing in more RAM memory or on a new Mac computer.

I have tried a number of things and can only think that this is a hardware issue, I’ve tried this on both an iMac and a Macbook pro. The iMac HDD and the external SSD have only the music production software and OS installed Latest High Sierra – the same as the macbook I have purchased a new audio interface – Focusrite 2i2 – this has made zero difference on the iMac and works perfectly on the Macbook To top things off I tried running Garageband, same issue, fine on the Macbook not on the iMac Furthermore I ran a plug in amplitube 4.

PLEASE NOTE: it is software monitoring causing the issues but this is what I want, so it must be a relation between the plug ins and the processing power, I think, I’m no expert by any means, however I am completely fed up now and i would just use my macbook but that is far from ideal. Kernel task. It might be doing indexing tasks that haven’t finished yet. Is anything else in Activity Monitor showing a high cpu usage? Problem solved. My Studio. Interested in your fix, thanks.

Also interested. If you have the instrument track or a loaded aux track as a chosen one, Logic will go to a certain live mode and overload one core. Does this sound like your problem? The occasional one core overload in Logic – solution Try this: Customise control bar right-click the grey area on top to see the option : activate „Capture recording” Choose an empty audio track. Arm „record” on the instrument track you want to play just the button, do not choose the track.

Hit play. Now you can play the instrument without serious overloads, I guess? Stop, then press the capture recording button on the transport area. Move the region on the audio track to the instrument track you were playing. Does that work for you? Not sure about this but it sometimes seems to help. Also, try activating „Low Latency Mode” while playing.

If this does not help, „bounce in place” as many tracks as you can, save the project with a different name, then delete all the instrument tracks you bounced. You can always import the original instrument tracks if you need them.

Not the handiest solution, I know. And even if that does not help, I tend to bounce the song and open a new project to play with heavy vsts. Then I close that project, open the original one, and import the tracks I played Last edited by Jus; 3rd March at AM.. I posted this a few days ago after reading your post but not sure if you’ve seen it so reposting here: I have recently discovered what’s been plaguing my system for months. It’s a macbook pro retina. Logic would be fine in some situations but suddenly be on it’s knees with very little stuff happening.

I discovered it was graphics related. If i used the mixer view in the main page processor would climb without falling back down even with a single instrument until overload spike and error message.

But if i closed the mix view and opened a separate mix window this didn’t happen any more. Problem was it would return if i tried to record infuriating, especially with a singer and a studio crew around. Then someone suggested I put the macbook to standard resolution i always have „more space”. This has completely revolutionised my laptop. Now with Hope this may prove the case for others of you, best of luck Keep audio track selected to reduce CPU spike.

This is just something I noticed over the years. When I encounter a CPU spike it’s almost always when I have a software instrument track selected in the Arrange window.

I can usually reduce the CPU load by stopping playback, selecting an audio track rather than a software instrument track, and resuming playback.

Most often the CPU spike is substantially mitigated. The overhead for a complex software instrument is higher than an audio file, and if you’re not focused on a software instrument during playback, there’s a smaller processing footprint.

The lower screen resolution idea is a new one to me, too. Have to make a note of that in case I ever encounter a spike I can’t otherwise handle.

Have a good one. Could you be a little more specific? Did you use any 3rd party applications for this? I’m very interested. I have a late MacBook and my music production came to a standstill with High Sierra and Logic In the end I clean installed High Sierra and logic reformatted the drive. I have to avoid the new horns and strings and use a lot of tricks freezing tracks, bussing for reverb and the above mentioned simplifying video.

But at least I’m back in business. I doubt the 'solved it’ guy really did and I’m certainly not going to wait for Apple their decline is palpable. I’m guessing that folks that depend on DAWS for a living are using some kind of hardware acceleration and that may be the answer for me too unless someone here can offer evidence that upgrading to quad core will make a big difference.

IMHO bgulian, and I know I will take flack fo saying it,, laptops are fine for when you are on the road or in a place where you cannot have your desktop and want to get some work done, but for using a serious amount of today’s orchestral libraries, which are very RAM demanding and CPU demanding as well in some cases, it is just not up to the job, and certainly not an older one.

Oh wow thanks for sharing!! Local Man. I dunno if i’ve „solved” anything here, but that kind of reliable and solid performance has been a distant dream for me for my entire time using logic, and with YMMV of course. But all down to a resolution swap.

Reproducible and repeatable on my system. It probably won’t last beyond the next few updates so i’m freezing my system here for now never done that before. If this info helps anyone else so much the better. Just want to update in case some one is still if having problems. I clean rolled back to Sierra and most of my load problems went away. The Logic I wish I knew what was really going on but there are so many factors involved it’s hard to rule them all out or in.

Turning off WiFi and Bluetooth has no effect. I believe Sierra is as far as my old MacBook Pro goes. I’m hoping Apple comes out with a decent replacement in June.

Sep 27,  · Question: Q: Logic Pro X – System Overload. Hello, I get the „System Overload. The audio engine was not able to process all required data in time.” message quite a lot. I have a late iMac 27″ with a 2,9 Ghz i5 processor and 8 GB of RAM. Will adding extra RAM solve my problem or will the „slow” CPU keep causing issues? Feb 17,  · Get more power out of your Mac when using Logic Pro X. Learn to freeze tracks to free up CPU power. Aug 13,  · Sloofin, the standard resolution improves things somewhat but definitely not to the degree you have experienced. I still system overload at 64 sample buffer with only 7 audio tracks and 3 instrument tracks when I record. This only happened once in a blue moon with Logic Pro X and El Capitan.
