hey i’m using using Imac 2020 with 3.8GHz 8 core intel core i7 and 32 GB ram..and i’m keep getting cpu overload msg..so i tried all the troubleshooting steps like changing buffer size enabling low latency and freezing tracks but it didn’t work..then i tried using buses for every single channel strip for ex when there are 200 tracks i use 200 buses cuz i apply atleast saturation to every instrument which varies in the amount and type so will this help or worsen the cpu overload state?
Struggling is an understatement... i have projects where everything is bounced to audio, grouped, then froze and i still have cpu overloads, it's making mixing tracks impossible
@@ConnorTostevin1 I have a 2.9 ghz 2017 MacBook Pro with 16gb of ram with hyper threading and it has issues of popping cracking with just one track and two tracks.

@@heythere6983 Yes i am using a MacBook and i'm in the same boat i thought about making the switch, but i'm so used to logic now, but thanks for the info i read it through properly in a sec ! but thanks
This guy really knows how to explain this stuff to people like me. I'm primarily a musician, and the software side can get so complicated. Great work, fella.
Wow, way to go. Have a like and a new subscriber. Thanks a million. Clear, concise, easy to understand. Super useful. This has been such an issue for me over the years!
Clever! At first I’m like, “hmm...is this really worth watching or saving to a playlist...he’s rather young to know about this very deeply.” And then, to my surprised self, you’re going into, as well as explaining, areas and settings that most who have made similar videos aren’t. Brilliant stuff, more in depth than many others! Thank you!!
Great video - extremely helpful. I had my processing threads on automatic and was constantly overloading - to the point, I could not get through a complete song. I switched it to 8 cores, which is what's on my mac and it works great. Thanks!!!
Thank You So Much My Dude!! I've been working on an EDM track lately and so I've been using a lot of layers even though most of them are from Alchemy which is causing the audio engine to fail and clip the audio. This video has been quite informative👍🏻
Thanks Man. Sometimes suddenly when I record a track when I played it back it came a bit to late. Did it also with midi but that I could hear. terrible. Solved that by hand but it completely stressed my head. So I opened up the song with midi latency and I followed Your steps my midi worked great. No more latency. Hopefully it stays that way.
Thanks bro this really helped i was really unmotivated to work on logic because it took wayyy too long to open alchemy and this whole thing happened out of no where like suddenly my computer was just super slow but now it seems to be running quite good thanks bro
Good discussion! There's a HOWEVER here, though. Adjusting the I/O Buffer Size setting, I've found that the smaller it is, the less my Resulting Latency value tends to be. This is a MUST when I'm recording any instrument. No other Preferences -> Audio setting interacts with the latency. Care to elaborate? 👍
Man you are amazing! You really helped me out and this was the best video out there where you really get explained everything from scratch. I apriciate that! Just one question. If you already have an project with a lot of channels with both Instruments och voice tracks and the cpu overload comes up as soon as you want to play your song(almost done with the song) can you swich the buffer size up then and back just to listened and Edit something without affecting the whole song later on? So for example i change the buffer size just so i can listened to what i ive done so far then maybe add some instrumental and polish the mix to finally bring the buffer back to 128 and then bounce the song without it affecting the sound quality in any ways? Hope you understand what i'm trying to explain, any ways you helped a lot and thank you again i will Follow you channel. Have a great day!
Thank you, means a lot! And to answer your question, yes you can change the buffer size whenever you want and it won't change the sound quality of the project. When you go to change the buffer size the project will "reload" itself technically, so they'll be a little bit of time to wait so that it can do this, but after that the project will be exactly the same just with less cpu impact!
Here’s another way to monitor your CPU. Place your activity monitor app to the dock. Hover your mouse over the activity monitor app on your dock RIGHT CLICK> DOCK ICON> show cpu usage.

I think my issue is that Im using the *Automatic* setting, since I lower the buffer size and everything is fine, then slowly I notice a delay in the sound so what I do is I re-apply the buffer size change and everything is back to normal. Maybe because its constantly changing the CPU usage, Ill have to check that next
Hi Stephen! Nice video! Im having problems with Logic Pro X, recently one song start crashing when im listening to it, it always happen at the same point, the cpu and hd meters are fine, but when the song is at the particular point it does a pop and the audio stops, if a play again the song the sound return. The song is finished, I want to bounce it but I can´t! Help!! Thanks and sorry for my English! Im from Argentina!

Best video about this, nobody was talking about the other options on the audio section. Thanks a lot!
I have a feeling I’m gonna be getting a lot more work done soon sir. Thank you for opening my eyes to the on/off switch!

Processing Threading was a refreshing suggestion that other videos do not have

Well done. I wish this tutorial was around a few years back. Well explained.
great tipps! Which Mac do you use? Could be helpful for comparison
Man ! The on/off tip was the best !! Many thanks !!!!
pretty good info. strait to the point and explaining everything in a way I can understand. viz display is a plus! great job
Great job. Best video yet
Very well done video tutorial! I had the same issue and by following step-by-step instructions - problem solved! Straight to the point explanation!

bro THANK YOU, saved me a headache, ima start saving for a new mac but for now this was definitely helpful again thanks a lot man
Great video dude, I've seen a few videos on this subject and yours was by far the best one! thanks!
Straight to the point, at last. Good man well done
Thanks! I was going nuts with problems on my current project....instant fix :)
Thanks for the informative Video! How did you make that outro shot?
Very sound advice which worked straight away when applied. Thanks a million!

Here some package of love!
Thank you for the clear explanations of these settings in logic!
Cheers for this mate, really appreciate it
Nicely done Stephen.. This is how videos should be done..
Here’s another way to monitor your CPU. Place your activity monitor app to the dock. Hover your mouse over the activity monitor app on your dock RIGHT CLICK> DOCK ICON> show cpu usage.
Thanks a lot man. Now I can finally work fast again 🙏🏻
Very useful indeed specially that ON/OF tracks which I used to MUTE instead ... but to no avail. Thanx again man.
Clear , concise and useful. Cheers
Excellent video! Thank you!
Great video, Man. I just wanna say „Thank Ya”👍
Excellent Video. Thanks Steve
great tips! automation processing and arpeggiation always killed my cpu
You’re a lifesaver mate!
Thank you, this will help massively when i go live and want to have multiple track in my session. 👍
Good looks man!! Awesome video!
I've been using logic forever and I totally forgot about the on and off button on the track. It can help with the overloads
Great stuff, thanks!
Thank you! Great content really helpful.
I don't have the power power on/off option in my tracks any ideas?
Thanks dude, this video helped a lot 🤘🏽
thanks man this was super helpful
Thanks for your tutorial. 👍
Can upgrading your Ram help fix this?
Super helpful, thanks dude!
Thank you.... very useful and well explained!!!
Great video. Helped a lot 🙌🏻
Excellent, thank you!
Thank you for this man!
Thanx dear so helpful.
Awesome job! thanks a lot
mate thanks so much worked

I think by clicking the on and off button does NOT unload the sample from RAM. I think you need to option-click the on/off button. Is that right?
