Freezes when loading plugins

My Logic pro x freezes when I try to load plugins or fx, such as reverb, it also freezes when I try to remove them from the channel, the beach ball comes up and doesn't go away, and I have to force quit the program in order to make my next move...please help me

Hi and welcome to Logic Pro Help.

 

We need to know more about your system.

Thanks for the reply, I updated my info, here it is again in case I did it wrong

 

Currently running Logic Pro X 10.0.7 (Some projects from Logic Pro 9 now used in Pro X)

I hope to hear from you again, and I really hope you might have a solution!

Thanks for updating your signature.

 

Is this happening on a specific project?

Have you tried creating a new empty project and inserting/removing a plug-in?

What buffer settings are you using?

It seems to be happening in the projects that began in Logic 9 and have been opened in Logic 10, my buffer size is at its highest (1024) because anything less leaves me with clipping and/or the dreaded system overload message. I personally think it has to do with the fact that my macbook is a late 2008 model which in todays world is pretty old, even though I recently put in an SSD, and/or I don't have enough RAM to process/multitask enough, but I'll leave that to you guys...any other suggestions?

My suggestion is to use the selective import function to import your old projects into a new blank Logic Pro X canvas.

Create a new Empty project and open the All Files browser. Navigate to your source project and double-click on its project file.

Select all the tracks you want to import and all the attributes. (Command-A followed by the right arrow key)

Import and save. Now try to see if it works.

Its still happening, this is incredibly frustrating I'v been using Logic for 5 years now and have never had a problem like this before
