Ever since upgrading from 10.6.1, I've had a ton of sync issues in Logic. I've had most of the iterations since. Recently upgrade to Big Sur and now 10.7.2 in the hope that the issues have been sorted, but more and more problems have arisen and none seem to have been fixed. Unfortunately some plugins don't work on 10.6.1 so reverting also not too much of an option.
Sync issues are predominantly with Melodyne ARA, and Nicky Romero kickstart, both of which are important to my workflow and sound, I can obviously transmit Melodyne manually but this slows me down, and there are of course alternatives to kickstart, like LFO tool and Waves pumper, and sidechaining manually to the kick, but I prefer the movement of kickstart, personally... When these plugins are engaged in a chain, they induce latency on that channel. Engaging the low latency mode fixes the latency issues on these channels, but sidechain routing on other channels is disturbed, and it's annoying for workflow as selecting software instruments bypasses the master bus plugins, affecting production/mixing flow.
Does anyone else have these issues? I'm sure it's not just those 2 plugins that are affected, but they are the most obvious culprits for me - obviously losing trust in the DAWs sync is an absolute headf*ck, when working on so many records for delivery. Tbh I'm not too interested in workarounds that suggest bouncing down plugin chains prior to adding kickstart, I often use kickstart at the end of vocal chains for esp when working on club records, and require full access to dry vox at all times..
Latest version of Logic has a load of other new issues I'll save for another time haha
Thanks so much for any replies!
