jerrydpi Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Hello everyone, I hope you're having a GREAT Labor Day Weekend! I'm getting the following Message on a few of my Projects: Disk is too slow or System Overload. I'm recording directly to my internal SSD 2TB Hard Drive, so what's the best way to avoid the constant interruptions during playback? Record to a different hard drive, close all my open tabs on my various browsers, whatever, etc? I have a mid 2012 15" Macbook Pro i7 Quad Core with 16GB RAM, and as noted, an internal 2TB SSD.

triplets Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 I would start with not having other apps open while using Logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrydpi Posted September 5, 2021 Author Share Posted September 5, 2021 Hello my true buddy, how have you been, I hope all is well for you in California! I just counted how many windows I have open, and it's: 1) 32 in Chrome. 2) 12 in Firefox. 3) 9 in Safari. 4) Photos. 5) iTunes. Am I safe in now assuming (uh-oh ) that that's using a LOT of my computers processing power? :) Thanks, Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Am I safe in now assuming (uh-oh ) that that's using a LOT of my computers processing power? :) Most likely, yes. Even just a few Chrome tabs/windows can bring your Mac to a halt depending on what they're doing exactly (video playback, web apps....).

fisherking Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 backup everything (as a precaution). then reset the nvram. reset the smc. and/or in general, reboot when you get the error, and open ONLY logic. also... if the problem persists, it's possible your drive is having problems... it IS 9 years old (you can always google how to run the hardware test on your mac too)...

triplets Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Exactly, just using Chrome so much is a bad idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thea.vatlegmail.com Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Lower the I/O buffer size to 64 when recording. Set it to 1024 afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
