MusiquedeReve Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I opened a new project in Logic Pro X I had only 8 bars in the project First track was a MIDI synth Logic software instrument Second track was a MIDI synth Logic software instrument Third track was Logic drummer Fourth track was Orb Composer Chords I then created a fifth track and selected Orb Composer bass Logic attempted to open it and I got the System Overload message I am perplexed as to how this can even be possible on a new project with only 4 tracks on it My setup: Mac Pro 7,1 16-core 96GB RAM Apogee Element 24 Thunderbolt interface If anyone has any idea as to why this could have happened I would really appreciate the insight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinloops Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Did you save and restart? Could have been a random glitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusiquedeReve Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 Did you save and restart? Could have been a random glitch. Yes I did and it did not happen again But, I am wondering why it would have happened in the first place? I thought the system I have could handle an outrageous number of tracks and VSTs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherking Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 lots of possibilities; what other apps were open? and when did you last reboot? (rebooting is always a logical, and simple, place to start when things like that happen). i experience overload messages regularly (with cableguys 'shaperbox 2'); but only happens when music is playing. if i open the plugin when nothing's playing... no issue. perhaps worth noting if orb composer behaves similarly; something about the resources loading when logic is working.

The only other apps that were open were iMessage and Mail I have 96GB of RAM, I should be able to open tons of apps on my computer at the same time and be fine Last rebooted my computer yesterday I had nothing exotic open - only 2 software instrument tracks and a drummer track This computer should be able to run hundreds of tracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Sometimes it only takes one 3rd party plugin to freak out Logic, even if you have a Ferrari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed indeed And, my buffer size is not anything crazy - it is set to 128 I will have to email Hexachords about the Orb Producer Suite and ask if there are known issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
