mattix Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Hi there, I have kind of a big problem with Logic Pro 8 and am wondering if anyone can help. Basically, when my track is playing it starts cutting out audio at randon times. It even cuts out some of sidechaining ive used on instruments. I have 89 channels within the project, 8 of which are VST instruments that i have already tried bypassing them just incase it was a VST conflicting with the project. Although there are 89 channels, there are never 89 sounds happening at once. The CPU isnt running to high and ive set the buffer range to its highest to see if this would help but it didnt. Im also running a fairly high-spec macbook pro with OSX 10.6.4, a processor of 2.53GHz, Intel Core i5 and memory of 4gb, 1067MHz DDr3. This is also occurring when just using my headphones so it cant be a problem with my audio interface. If anyone can share any solutions to this increasingly annoying problem i would be eternally greatful. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 What about your HD meter (Hard Disk)? Does it run high? Do you get any message when the audio cuts out, or does playback continue despite the audio cutting out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattix Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Dont get any error messages, track continues to play and drops audio in/out at random points. One thing i did forget to mention is that it now seems to happen when i try to add another audio channel. Ill insert one, Logic will stutter and reset the audio driver then none of it will play properly. Where can i check my hard drive meter mate? Only been looking at the CPU one in Logic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Your HD meter is right below your CPU meter in the Transport bar. Is "DIsplay audio engine overloads" selected in Preferences > Audio > General? If not, try selecting it to see if this is a CPU overload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattix Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Ah, in that case no its not runnig to high. Im just about to head off to work but will check on that when i get in and post what i find. Thanks for the quick response by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattix Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 Yep, "display audio engine overload messages" was already ticked. Also, the HD meter barely goes up atall. Really have no idea what it could be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdoubleyou Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Is your session on an external hard drive? If you are running the session off the internal drive, I suspect that with the high track count, and the amount of RAM you have. OSX may be stopping disk access by other apps to handle virtual memory. How much free space do you have on your system drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattix Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 Yeah, running the session of the internal drive. I have 330GB still available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
