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?
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👍🏻
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!!!
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.
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!!
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. I thought this would be powerful enough then I realized the desktop versions of the same processors are still more powerful and I honestly dont know why everyone makes it seem like laptops are enough for mixing with virtual instruments ETC. I think if you are using a laptop then unless you get close to the highest specs you wont have alot of headroom to work. I watched a video where they explain the CPU and RAM isnt everything, sometimes there are bottle necks in the system, he changed his SATA SSD drive which was working perfectly fine, to a PCIE drive , the ones which Macs use, and it had issues. So even though his CPU was strong enough, the drive was causing issues. ua-cam.com/video/GUsLLEkswzE/v-deo.html Unfortunately with Macs you cant customize .... So I think the only solution is buying the highest models, preferably a desktop im seeing. You can build a super computer for about 1200 that can do what a 5 grand Mac could do and more , thing is you cant use logic on that. When I checked the cpu usage on logic, it shows one of my cores going to about 30 percent once violins come in, so I would think thats fine, even tho only one core is working harder, if I put the buffer less than 128 , a bunch of issues arise and the core shoots to about 50 percent. But I still have 3 other cores left and hyper threading would make it so that I have 7 cores left, even with one core kinda being worked harder there are issues, tho my cpu isnt really being taxed. Im suspecting it IS the drive that comes with apple products. and there aint anything I can do about that. unless I spend thousands on an inconvenient desktop, or thousands for a less powerful maxed out laptop. if it wasn't for logic and some random sounds I made in logic, id build a computer with an i10 processor and 16 cores, super strong and fast for less than 2000 and use pro tool for something else.
@@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
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!
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
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.
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!
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

Best video about this, nobody was talking about the other options on the audio section. Thanks a lot!
After I turned off many tracks, this overload issue solved. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks bro, I truly appreciate
Processing Threading was a refreshing suggestion that other videos do not have
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!

This is the most helpful video on this topic, thanks!🙏 The On/Off switch is essential
the turn on/off switch looks like a good solution i'm going to try that!, great vid btw
great video if you have any more tips on this issue..please do share
Great job. Best video yet

lesson: be open minded
Thanks a lot man. Now I can finally work fast again 🙏🏻
The On/Off switch changed my life... thanksssss!
Edge I’m gonna try this today! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Great video, Man. I just wanna say „Thank Ya”👍

Great video dude, I've seen a few videos on this subject and yours was by far the best one! thanks!
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
Thank you ! this Fixed my crackling audio problem!
Nicely done Stephen.. This is how videos should be done..
Straight to the point, at last. Good man well done
Very sound advice which worked straight away when applied. Thanks a million!

Excellent video! Thank you!
thanks man this was super helpful
Thanks, Bro! It Worked 👍 I've been trying for a long time. Subscribed.
Thnks man, on/off good tip i wasnt using.
Clear , concise and useful. Cheers
Thank you for the clear explanations of these settings in logic!
Cheers for this mate, really appreciate it
Thank you! 🐐
You’re a lifesaver mate!
great tipps! Which Mac do you use? Could be helpful for comparison
Thanks for your tutorial. 👍
Thank you, this will help massively when i go live and want to have multiple track in my session. 👍
Thanks a tonne!!!!!
Great stuff, thanks!
Thanx dear so helpful.

Thanks for the informative Video! How did you make that outro shot?
Excellent, thank you!
Very useful indeed specially that ON/OF tracks which I used to MUTE instead ... but to no avail. Thanx again man.

Thank you brother ✌✌✌🙌🙌🙌
OMG thank you dude.
well explained my g
Excelente, thanks
Can you turn off / delete loops ?
helpful. thank you!!!
THANK U SO MUCH U R VERY GOOD GUIDNESS THANKS ...
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?
Thank you so much
