Problem: Lagging on Logic


Zipper

Recommended Posts

We are recording 48 (usually about 25-35) tracks on a weekly basis and swithced from Logic 7 to Logic 8. Upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. We started getting random "lagging" on tracks.. I am talking about the same effect what you got back in the day when cassette tapes got old and worn...lagging..

 

I am trying to figure out what the problem is:

Amount of RAM: 2G in our Dual 2.7GHz PowerMac G5.

Audio interface: 2 MOTU 2408mk3's

OS: Leopard (is it too much for our 2Gs?)

Channels come from Light Viper to Yamaha DM-2000 and external MOTU preamps...

 

Please help... I am thinking about going back to Logic 7 for capturing if I can't get this figured out...

 

Thanks,

Is your Plugin Delay Compensation (in the Preferences>Audio, General Tab) set to 'all'?

 

Plugin latency will cause a track to lag, like I think you are describing, unless you tell the DAW to compensate.

 

Clocking issues would affect the whole audio stream, not likely individual tracks.

Yes...it is a wowing effect where a pitch fluctuates randomly...

 

I will look into the clocking issue first thing in the morning.. any other thoughts..?

 

Could the low amount of memory create a bottleneck in the flow of things..?

 

Thanks for your help thus far...
