dougqup Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) In Logic, my cpu meter is hitting the read zone even when the program is idling. There's only one instrument active. One instrument with Miroslav plug in. No other plug ins. Small movie running. System: Imac I7 osx 10.7.5 Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 Apogee Rosetta i/o 8gb ram.

n6smith Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 What plugins do you have on that one track? If you select that track.. everything on that track becomes active even if there are no notes recorded or playing.. so heavy duty plugins on a single track, can and will cause what you are seeing. Other than that, check the activity monitor in applications/utilities and see if anything else on your computer is using up CPU cycles... and let us know what... Finally, can you please click on the Pink Box at the top of the screen (Forum Rules) read Rule #5 and enter all your info in your sig.. as that will make it much easier for everyone to help you troubleshoot.. TIA... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougqup Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 Thanks for your reply! I added system info, sorry about that. Activity monitor has nothing using over 4% of cpu. One instrument with Miroslav plug in. No other plug ins. Small movie running. Best, Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n6smith Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 In this project where you are seeing this occurs.... If you create a blank audio track and then select that track, does the spike go away? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougqup Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 No still spiking. I think it's a setting on the apogee, I suspect audio is looping back through Logic. Should the mac or apogee be the master clock? thanks, Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougqup Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 I took the apogee out of the chain and put Logic on internal speakers and the problem went away. I must have the apogee set up wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n6smith Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Yes.. I think so too. Can't help you with the Apogee I'm afraid.. as i don't and haven't used one. Maybe someone else here can.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougqup Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 Thanks for your help. I added a channel with the Miroslav library and it's really pushing the meter....wierd.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisinghels Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Little late but I have the same problem with my CPU, no strange problems before but since I updated to 9.1.8 my CPU is skyrocketing. Even with very small projects the cpu is using way too much more then before. Anyone? I'm looking on different forums but still haven't found a solution. Thanks!

gdoubleyou Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Are both of you running in 64bit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisinghels Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I'm running 32 bit, 64 bit is even worse. Now I have to freeze almost all of the tracks to keep on working my normal flow. And then i'm talking about a small project with instruments like ez drummer/keys and a couple of EXS24 + some logic plugins and easy multiband stuff. No problem before but now almost too much, digital clicks are nearby.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balancedcreativity Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 What is your I/O buffer set to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougqup Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 I've solved this by basically turning everything else off including time machine, carbonite and unplugged all of my other drives. iTunes is off as well as Peak. With Logic as the only app running, it's been behaving normally. The awesome bonus of this is I've turned off email which has always distracted me when composing!! Hope this helps!!
