mikeaudio Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 Hey Guys, I recently purchased an M1 Mini and Logic 10.6. I've been having recurring, seemingly random issues with the CPU overloading - performing tasks that my old 2012 Mini could do with both hands tied behind it's back. Before you ask - I am experiencing this when using NO plugins, with a single digit track count, let alone when using native plugins, or heaven forbid, a Waves plugin or two. The problems aren't constant - it seems to be an issue from time to time that just goes away on it's own without explanation. The problem persists when other apps are open, or when Logic is the only game in town, and restarting the machine or creating a new project offers no relief. Anyone else experience this, and do you have a workaround? I want to throw this thing in a lake, I feel like a total sucker for adopting this new machine while clearly the tech is still in it's infancy.

David Nahmani Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I would open Activity monitor and monitor the activity of your CPU (and other resources as well) while you're working to try to determine what app/process/task is bringing the M1 to its knees.

mikeaudio Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 It seems Logic won't use more than 2 processing threads, regardless of what I sent it to. In addition to this, my Interface seems to be running through Rosetta in spite of the fact that it's class compliant. I wonder if theres a way to force Logic to use the CPU more effectively, but this clearly isn't intended behavior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherking Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 contact apple; you've got applecare (for at least a year). this is not normal behavior (altho, if you do decide to throw the mini in the lake, let me PM you my address instead). something's up, and i'd let apple sort it out...

facej Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 If your interface is "running through Rosetta" then you need to make Logic run in Rosetta mode. Any other choice will give you bad/bizarre behavior. What interface is "running through Rosetta"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other choice will give you bad/bizarre behavior. I've seen someone say that about having anything that needs Rosetta in one of the YouTube videos I've watched on Logic/M1.
