Tzabi Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 Hi guys, I need help. I have a really cpu heavy project, and when I bounce it, some automation doesn't bounce with it, like it ignores them. This is only the second time this happens, and last time I'v just bounce the track in two parts, and the automations bounced properly, but there might be some subtler automations that haven't so now I'm looking for answers instead of going around it. I guess this happened dou to the project being heavy, and hard for the computer to process everything. I looked online and it looks like bouncing realtime will solve this, but I can't, because the project is too heavy to run all the way through. How to I fix this? this is really frustrating... why can't Logic Pro bounce more efficient? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you mentioned it, chances are that your project is too heavy for your computer to handle it in one chunk… Dividing the workload could be a viable approach… Edited December 26, 2022 by Atlas007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyway to know how many pieces do I need to divide my project to make everything come through? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know, but I doubt such features exist… Have you tried exporting the tracks and rebuild your project only with audio regions. That may require creating tracks from the Auxes channelstrips (via the mixer menu), if such Auxes exist in your project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may require creating tracks from the Auxes channelstrips (via the mixer menu), if such Auxes exist in your project. Most of the tracks are audio regions, but I guess there are many auxes and effects. Bouncing them in place all together still creates the same problem, so I need to bounce one by one, and disabling the others. I want to avoid this method, because also bouncing in place sometimes doesn't give me the same result, which makes everything more complicated. But is that is the solution for now, do you know if there is a way to see which channel or aux demands the most cpu? Maybe I can only bounce few channels.

Maybe I can only bounce few channels. The only method (I am aware of) is empiric. Monitoring Performance Meter (from the LCD) and playing each track (combination) to view where Logic and/or your Mac is/are struggling. Muting isn't enough, turning off the unwanted tracks is the way to decrease the workload that (most) plugins may be taxing your CPU. Some plugins are more CPU demanding than others (this topic discusses about same). Have you tried freezing tracks?

Really helped me, and solved the problem easily, and will help me much with cpu optimisation in the future. Thank you very much 🙂 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
