paul88 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Whenever I open any project, the entire Logic UI is so laggy that I can't get anything done. Whether it's selecting plugins, recording or closing and opening projects, everything takes at least 10 seconds to open. My system info: Logic 10.5.1 on macOS 10.14.6 I tried reinstalling it and deleting all my plugins, to no avail. Appreciate your input.

paul88 Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 Most of the space (around 600GB) is occupied by system files, and 90GB in music creation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul88 Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 Of 1TB in total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Ok but my question is: From the Apple menu at the top left of your screen choose About This Mac and click Storage, how many GB are available of how many? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul88 Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 I'm afraid I don't know what you're referring to. I have 2 drives, both 1TB, with 30GB of space left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Ok the 1TB was the info I wanted, just like it's displayed in that "About This Mac" window. We must have posted those two last posts at the same time so I didn't have that info when I posted. You need much more free space than that for your Mac to have a normal performance. Typically it's recommended to leave 20 to 25% free space on your hard drive, especially the system drive, which MacOS uses constantly to page RAM in and out and other tasks (without your knowledge).

fernandraynaud Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 So, @paul88, did making (how much) space on your startup drive solve the problem? If not, how much RAM do you have? What is your machine type, CPU speed, disk type(s), peripherals, MIDI/Audio interface? What network connections? to the Internet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
