I've updated everything. I was noticing something glitchy when running Natively but should probably track the source and make note of what might hav caused it. I record to an external SSD drive. I'll try those other settings (thanks).

I'm surprised at how sluggish Logic is operating with my new M2 Ultra computer (128 GB ram) so I just wanted to make sure I'm doing "best practices" to reduce the feeling of latency in overall operation (where it takes a noticeable pause to perform most things, etc.). Here's what I've tried: - currently working in Rosetta as that seemed to initially speed things up (even though my program and therefore all my plugins seemed to operate without it, just more slowly) - I've tried both reducing and increasing the I/O Buffer Size and still can't assess which is better/worse - ditto for Process Buffer Range (I've read for some it's better set to "Small" to reduce sluggishness but I'm not yet sure) - Processing Threads: set to "Automatic" What else, if anything, might I try? Thanks for any further suggestions! D.D.

Thanks 🙂

Thanks. And if I subsequently bounce stems of what was imported (after editing further in Logic), I presume the bit depth will similarly be maintained? - D.D.

Once I import them will they retain their 32 bit depth? Or is there something I need to do to enable this? (thanks!) - D.D.

And (all): I think I've found a solution (or at least a "workaround"): by downgrading to Logic Pro 10.7.4 (which I realized I had a backup of), I was again able to do offline bounces in that specific "problem project" (!)...So (unless people think there might be issues with my doing so) I think I will stick with 10.7.4 for now (as well as turn off auto-software updates as I used to do, going forward, and keep every point version of Logic just to be safe, as others have suggested). Thanks all - - D.D.

You may have a point, Jim...I was just concerned about having to re-link many, many music plug-ins. As it turned out, by connecting a Thunderbolt 3 cable the whole transfer took only about an hour from a 2019 Macbook Pro (Intel i9) to my new M2 Mac Studio. I've also re-installed several apps just to be safe... - D.D.

Thanks again.

Thanks - it works! Amazing. Do you think there's any value in my also reverting to 10.7.4 (just in case it helps that offline bounce issue)? If so: I presume I won't have issues loading into 10.7.4 projects created in subsequent versions of Logic? - D.D.

Actually, one follow-up: you said "I don't know how important the score sets are to you, but to "fix" a project, start with a new blank template (or at least one that doesn't contain those score sets), import everything *except* the score sets into the new project, and save." but I can't figure out how to uncheck Score Sets when importing data (presuming there is a way to do this?) - D.D.

Amazing! I will definitely do this. And I must have been basing projects off of a VERY OLD initial Logic Project (that I've continuously updated) as I haven't used Score Sets in years :-)...So this won't be a problem. I've also (incidentally) also located (on my wife's computer) Logic 10.7.4 so I was also tempted to downgrade (in case this is related to that bouncing problem). But I will keep that option in my back pocket (and it was good to have the reminder to consciously save past versions of Logic whenever I update - I think at some point my apps were inadvertently set to automatically install whenever a new update appeared). I'm presuming I can just zip Logic up in her Applications folder and move it to my computer (renamed Logic 10_7_4)... Much thanks! D.D.

Thanks! I actually DO have Logic 10.7.8 saved on a backup drive so could revert if it might help. - D.D.

Another (possibly related) question: is there any way for me to "downgrade" to the previous update for Logic? I feel like these problems only started to happen with the most recent update (or thereabouts)... - D.D.

Not too long at all - just a couple of weeks, etc. (before I upgraded my computer). Here's another test I've created for you to try on your end. To get the zip go here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tAHpqKX8fUz4XDLx_P4T8utn2YKqiRwE/view?usp=sharing and choose the "download" icon in the upper right. It's a folder containing: 01) a test Logic project (newly created) to open, plus: 2) an older project (from the past several months or so) which I've opened, deleted everything other than a couple of MIDI notes, then re-saved for you to import it's settings into the test project using file->import->import Project Settings. Will be curious if you get the same "out of memory" error? Thanks and best - D.D.

I just tried setting up a blank Logic Project into which I tried loading a newly-created Logic Project that contained the Project Settings I wished to import. When I did this, no error. However, when I create a blank Logic Project and try importing Project Settings from seemingly any past project that contains meaningful data, etc., I get the error (which of course will be problematic since I want to be able to generally import elements from other Projects). I'm trying to find something like this that contains meaningful data that I can also share (since this is what causes the error). D.D.
