samwhorocks Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Hi. When I’m editing midi events in logic I’m getting very laggy control. It takes about half a second to respond to anything. This is weird because the cpu meter is showing it’s not even at 25 percent. The project isn’t huge. This keeps happening and I can’t see why. My old MacBook struggled constantly but never editing midi, even when I was on the brink of cpu overload I had snappy editing power. This is 2023 MacBook Pro m2 so it’s quite disappointing that it’s slowing me down so much. Any help would be appreciated. thanks Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas007 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Which (precise) versions of macOS and Logic are you using? Are you using a control surface? Hardware synths? Does the issue occurs on a specific project (template)? How many tracks? Lot’s of automation? Third party plugins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samwhorocks Posted April 20 Author Share Posted April 20 I’m running logic 10.8.1 Rosetta. Ventura 13.5. No hardware synths. Just a midi controller. it’s actually not just midi editing. It’s everything. Selecting anything, track, region, events, muting regions ect. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscwilde Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Is there a reason why you're not running Sonoma? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Can you repeat this lag when editing if you quit Logic, and reopen it and open a brand new empty project with only one software instrument and one MIDI region? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samwhorocks Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 No lag if there’s just one software instrument. The projects aren’t huge before they start to get laggy but they are substantial. Again the cpu isn’t struggling that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samwhorocks Posted April 22 Author Share Posted April 22 So I started trying to narrow down the cause. Started disabling plugins and removing tracks. I still had laggy control. I decided to import all the tracks into a new project until the culprit was revealed. Even after importing all tracks and all plugins I have no lag in the new project. Weird. id like to find out why it’s doing this as I don’t want to have to do this every time it starts to lag. Any help or thoughts are very much appreciated.

oscwilde Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 It may have been a corruption in the problem project. As a Q, have you ever had the project with the issue open at the same time as another project? Opening two projects simultaneously can expose a long-standing bug - which "might" result in corrupted projects. Sometimes this is minor weirdness and sometimes it totally trashes the project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truegryc Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Because you got rid of it by starting a new project I doubt this is your problem, but I discovered when starting with Logic Pro that I couldn't use my Bluetooth headphones because of a huge amount of lag that showed up when I was editing/recording MIDI. (I mean, it's really obvious now, but I was pretty naive about latency sources.) You can see the latency in your setup under Logic Pro | Settings | Audio | Devices under "Resulting Latency". (Just in case it helps anyone else who might be attracted to this thread.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
