boavampire Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Here's a screen recording showing the dry drum audio being played, compared with the audio playing while Soundtoys' Little Alterboy is on the channel. Does anyone have any ideas as to why this stuttering/glitchiness is occurring? I have my buffer size set to 512 and my computer is a brand new, top of the line 16-inch Macbook Pro. The drums are perfectly clean and in-time when Alterboy is turned off, but suddenly get stutter-y and glitchy when I turn it on. I've also used Little Alterboy on my drums for around half a year without any problems, when all of the sudden, yesterday, I started encountering this issue. Let me know if there's a solution to this! Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Did you try a restart of the laptop? Does it happen on all the projects, or just this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boavampire Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 Happens on all my projects now, and yes I tried restarting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boavampire Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 Also, I've realized that the problem has now retroactively appeared on all of my projects, including one where it wasn't happening before. I have reset the NVRAM and SMC on my computer, and I've made sure it's not an interface issue. I also found that opening a completely new project from a blank template and using the Little Alterboy does not produce the problem. It also seems that there are other issues starting to pop up around my projects now such as stuttering/lagging audio on other tracks that don't even use the Little Alterboy. I'm freaking out. I don't want to lose all my work over this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Are you using Logic 10.6.2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boavampire Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 Yup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boavampire Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 All of the Soundtoys plugins suddenly have pops and crackles while using them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Did you make a copy of 10.6.1? Plugin maker Softube has issues with their plugins with 10.6.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boavampire Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 No I didn't. Is there a way for me to revert? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boavampire Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 Oh it absolutely MUST be something to do with 10.6.2 since the problem literally started happening exactly when the update came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 No I didn't. Is there a way for me to revert? If you didn't do a Time Machine backup of your computer, or a copy of the app, sorry, no way to revert. That's why I always make copies of the Logic app before any updates. And I never let it update automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boavampire Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 I've pinned down that the audio problem is completely solved whenever I set "General" -> "Plug-in Latency" -> "Compensation" to "All", but it adds so much latency that I can no longer record on my tracks. Any ideas on how I can fix this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boavampire Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 To expand, I made a reddit video post displaying the issue: https://old.reddit.com/r/Logic_Studio/comments/n21g1c/all_of_my_100s_of_projects_have_been_ruined_by/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 If you engage Low Latency Mode whenever you record? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boavampire Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 It stops the problem, but I don't want to have to start using Low Latency whenever I track when I never have had to use it before in my 7+ years of producing on Logic. I like to hear sends while I track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Plugin Delay Compensation changed with the latest update apparently. I didn't update because some users were complaining about it, and usually I don't update right away. I guess certain 3rd party plugins and their latency calculations don't play nice with Logic.
