revolucian Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Is Logic Pro X so much slower than Logic 9? I upgraded to this brand new machine and when I get near 100 tracks of just audio... everything is crawwwlingggggg. I click something and sometimes a few seconds pass before it happens....... Driving me nuts. I never had this issue with Logic 9. I'm not really taxing my system any more than I did my 5 year old Mac Pro. I actually think the old system was faster. What am I missing?

triplets Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 It's Yosemite with the new memory management. It eats RAM like the Tasmanian Devil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turner Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 So the best thing would be to run Logic X on Mavericks, right and just take the latest versions of both ? You can downgrade from Yosemite to Mavericks. Going back to Mountain Lion isn't an option either. I tried to buy Logic X yesterday in the Apple store and it said minimum requirement is Mavericks. Seems a lot of people are looking for the right Logic X - OS combi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triplets Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 One solution with the Windowserver process getting overloaded in Yosemite. SMC and PRAM reset basically. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6623697 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The memory issue in Yosemite is no-existant unless you run some buggy software that has memory leaks. Here's an article of how it works: OS X 10.9 Mavericks: The Ars Technica Review | Ars Technica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Yeah, I've been reading about Memory compression since Mavericks. I guess in Yosemite Spotlight is using more resources, so that is one thing that can be minimized, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 There where some issues with indexing in prior versions of 10.10 but I have not encountered any anomalies since 10.10.3. Disabling spotlight can cause trouble for sample instruments and other Logic related files. I do not recommend doing this. The largest culprit with Yosemite was the discoveryd process that has been replaced by the old but revamped mDNSResponder: Apple drops discoveryd in latest OS X beta following months of network issues | 9to5Mac The other problem audio-folks where experiencing was related some part of the generic Core Audio driver: Unexpected Latency Issues with Mainstage The latest update (10.10.4) has also changed some parts of Core Audio so it would be interesting to see if this issue is gone or not.

Ashermusic Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Eric, that doesn't explain why however when I opened Logic Pro 7 for the first time in a long time I realized how fast it was compared to either LP X or LP 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 I was addressing the statement about memory leaks and that the issues are OS based. I fail to see where the OP is asking why it's slower than Logic Pro 7? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fail to see where the OP is asking why it's slower than Logic Pro 7? He asks if iLogic Pro X is slower than Logic Pro 9, and if so, why, and since Logic Pro 9 is slower than Logic Pro 7 under the same OS it would seem, err....logical... that the OS is not really the main factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 the OS is not really the main factor I was addressing the statement ... that the issues are OS based. What I meant by that is that it isn't related to Spotlight indexing. I still fail to see how all this is related to Logic 7? This is what the OP was experiencing: I click something and sometimes a few seconds pass before it happens... Triplets found a great link that provided more info on what might be happening on his system: Also talking about Yosemite lag, because of Windowserver: http://www.macissues.com/2015/01/08/how-to-manage-intermittent-lag-in-os-x-yosemite/ This issue is related to OS 10.10 and can happen in any application.

Ashermusic Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 "I click something and sometimes a few seconds pass before it happens..." It doesn't happen in Logic Pro 7 in ANY version of the OS, in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Cardenas Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Did you read the link provided? They have an example of this happening in TextEdit. Do you have any of these error messages in your Console? Can you see if they are related to Logic Pro X activity alone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
