RTD Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hello, I'm having a huge problem. All I can find on the internet about is this problem is even more people who has this problem. No solutions... My problem: I bought a new Mac Pro with 14 gb memory along with Pro Tools 9 crossgrade and Logic 9 upgrade. Pro Tools upgraded easily and works like a charm. I can use all my processors and everything is works better then before. Now... Logic 9 is a real pain in the ass. Before Logic 9 I worked with Logic Pro 8 on an old Mac Pro with 6 gb memory. It worked really good. But for bigger sessions it became to slow. With Logic 9 on my now Mac Pro all the sessions keeps on crashing because of low memory. Even the old Logic 8 projects who worked PERFECTLY on the old mac... What is going on here? Why can't I use my full 14gb of memory on the newest Mac Pro. And why is Logic 9 crashing and telling me that there is low memory with even a few plugins? Can anyone help me out? This really frustrating for such expensive software. At the moment I can not work with Logic and I really need it for the people I work for. Greets, RTD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Did you try running Logic in 64 bit? That's the only way you can use 14 gigs of ram. Also make sure that any 3rd party plugins are 64-bit ready. Are you on Logic 9.1.3? Also, are you using an interface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTD Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Thanks for the quick reply. I tried running Logic in 64 bit, but that didn't work out. Not all plugins are compatable with the 64 bit. Logic keeps crashing when using stuff like battery 3. I'm using a MOTU interface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Low memory warnings come from lots of region edits. Have you tried reducing your Undo Steps in Logic Preferences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Not all plugins are compatable with the 64 bit. Logic keeps crashing when using stuff like battery 3. Battery is already 64bit. Make sure you get the latest version. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTD Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 Awesome! Will take a look at it. So I must try to get all the 32-bit plugins up to date to 64-bit and everything should work fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
analogika Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Awesome! Will take a look at it. So I must try to get all the 32-bit plugins up to date to 64-bit and everything should work fine? Not necessarily - a number of 32-bit plugins run just fine in 64-bit Logic. Some - such as eastwest's Play - are notorious for crashing, though. Although eastwest has announced that Play 3 will be a free update, fully 64-bit, and is currently in beta, with a public beta to be announced soon.

RTD Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 I will try Logic 9 in 64-bit tomorrow and report back to you guys how it is going. Is there anything else I could try to make it work in case Logic 9 is still crashing? Maybe there is a small box I need to check or uncheck at the preferences?

Eriksimon Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I will try Logic 9 in 64-bit tomorrow and report back to you guys how it is going. Is there anything else I could try to make it work in case Logic 9 is still crashing? Maybe there is a small box I need to check or uncheck at the preferences? Yes, set the number of Processing Threads (cores) in Logic Pro > Preferences > Audio > Devices > Coreaudio from Automatic to the highest available number. Here's a list of 64-bit compatible plugs: http://www.logicprohelp.com/viewtopic.php?p=362427#362427 O, and if Logic crashes, publish the Crash Report (just select all text, copy, paste, post) here. It might reveal some of "the usual suspects"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This in combination of making Logic 9 64-bit worked! I had no problems so far. Thanks for the help all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
