JoshJ Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Logic's CPU meter started spiking once I updated from the old to the new-look Logic 10.3.3. Am running a relatively small project & am getting clicks in the audio playback. Anyone else experienced this & any suggestions on what I can do to resolve?

triplets Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 What happens when you turn off the C6? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshJ Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 I've sorted this. Changed some of my audio settings and got all my cores up and running. Is the C6 usually one of the main culprits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DolmensDude Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I'd be interested to know if you're improved situation *stayed* that way. I have been seeing some weird behavior in this version. For two hours it'll be fine, and then the exact same 8 bar loop will throw the Mac into CPU maxed-out oblivion. It's really crazy. I've used iStat Menus for a long time, and I'm current on that... That will show the current CPU base clock at a given time, and... when my CPU meters peg, the clock on this 2.6GHz i7 quad core will report 800MHz(!) as the clock, even though it's on AC power (via a charger). If these utilities are actually showing correct data, I would have no idea why my Mac CPU clock rate would go *down* while processing audio, and then down that low, while on AC charger power. That just doesn't compute with me. I can restart and it may or may not improve, sometimes I've just gone off and made a cup of coffee and come back and it's fine. This is *not* happening in MainStage, it's only happening during Logic projects, even a new one. A kernel_task will appear during the slowdowns as one of the top consumers of CPU resources as well... I'm not sure what's getting in the way of what here, but I *have* applied the 10.13.2 Supplemental Update, and I've also obviously let Logic update as well. Is this the 30% slowdown which isn't supposed to happen? Geekbench tests show no slowdown so gotta love a task with a meaningful name like "kernel_task" I've only had this problem for a few days (obviously) but it's driving me nuts. A new 2017 maxed out Touch Bar MBP has been shipped for pick up next week... Hoping this problem might go away with that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
