303creative Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Hi All I recently upgraded from High Sierra to Catalina (10.15.7) and subsequently to latest Logic 10.6.2 but the programme, as a whole, is sooooo sluggish. For example, in the Piano Roll if I click on a note it takes up to 3-4 seconds to catch up and sound that note. Same thing if I select another note.... 4 seconds later it sounds. Trying to move notes, change velocities is a nightmare. I've also noted that in the main window I get so much spinning beach ball I'm thinking of suggesting it becomes an Olympic event - I could get bronze! This also happens with Core Audio switched off!!! Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherking Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 is logic checked under system preferences>security & privacy>privacy>microphone? it should be. and am assuming you've rebooted? you can also try resetting the nvram, the smc (google for instructions).

Mania Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 1 Do you have enough disk space? Leave 25% empty on system drive. 2 Also, could be a disk starting to fail? There are ways to check. 3 Check with a guest account on your Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
303creative Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 All good on disk space front. I too warn others if that. Disk ok too. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

303creative Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share Posted May 5, 2021 I tried pulling out all my component AUs thinking it may be one of them causing the retardation in Logic. No, exactly the same problem with all plugins removed. I didn't chuck the VST3 ones but am I right in thinking that Logic doesn't look there?

Maybe it's a call to Apple in the morning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less can be said about Logic at the moment. I can just about use it but the sluggishness is so painful it frustrates beyond belief and I have to calm down with a cuppa!

303creative Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 Did you check for an iLok update?Apparently some issues with that lately: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=154825 My iLok is all up to date thanks. Whole morning on phone to Apple Creative helpers and no joy yet. They need to do some research and will call Friday to carry on.
