Hi guys,
Am I doing something wrong here? I've had this computer (M1 Pro 10core, 32gb) for about a month and it's butter smooth for almost everything, but I basically bought it for Logic and so far I'm really not impressed.
I have 3rd party plugins installed, some of which are non-native. But when running sessions with all-stock plugins and even just plain audio tracks, I'm getting a lot of CPU usage on all CPU cores plus major spikes, and this is with maybe just 3-4 active tracks out of 10-15 in a project.
Changing the buffer size helps but not by much, and I have it set to use all 10 processor cores which also helps but again not by much. But I feel like I shouldn't have to change either of these settings for sessions this size honestly.
There's also been some visual glitches with the playhead lagging and such but nothing too bad I guess.
I'm honestly baffled just cos I spent an absolute grip on this thing and it's barely stronger than the decrepit MacBook Air I had before. I didn't migrate anything, complete fresh install. Have also tried reinstalling Logic but no difference. Seriously hoping it's a software/OS problem so it'll at least be temporary.
I'm on Logic 10.7.2 and Monterey 12.2.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
