  1. on Logic 9, just the "M" key by itself would mute regions when the main window is open, and active (mouse clicking in that window), but the "M" key would also mute selected midi notes if the piano roll section was open and active (via the "P" button in main arrange window). But now, in the latest Logic version, after setting to default keybindings, no matter if I mouse click in the main arrange window or the attached piano roll bottom tab area, it always mutes whatever region I have selecte in the arrange window, never muting midi notes like i would like the "M" key to, when the piano roll tab is active. How do I make it how it used to be?
  2. But how do I tell which plugin is causing the CPU usage increases? Do you mean open a project with just that single plugin in, and look at a CPU meter?
  3. few days ago. I don't think I'm using any super resource heavy plugins. No sample libraries like huge orchestral libraries etc just my own audio samples like percussion/drum one shots from sample packs, etc. I'm not sure which other plugins are known to be resource heavy. After I continue working on my current project a little more, I can journal the times I get overload and also upload my project folder for you guys to check out to see if you want.
  4. Great. Yeah, when I was having those issues, I was running everything off on internal SSD. I have 50% free space on the internal. I have the external working now, I'll be trying to taking notice of how things perform.
  5. It's an NVMe SSD in external enclosure. When it first got plugged in, I had to "erase" the drive in Disk Utility otherwise it wasn't getting detected or recognized (also, the partition button was greyed out). After I erased, it automatically put it into APFS (i chose that in a dropdown list), without me ever clicking a "partition" button, and it became usable/detected. Does this action count as a partition in the way you said I'm not supposed to ("you dont partition them")? Or did I do it the right way?
  6. Hmm, I was getting the system overload but I'm on a M1 Mac mini with 16gb and it was happening even on small projects that most definitely shouldn't be stressing out such a powerful system. It was happening pretty much only when I'm looping something for a while.
  7. Do you mean you have your actual Logic project files/folders saved on external drive as well? If so, is it absolutely fine to have it on the same drive/partition as with the samples? Would it be even better to have the samples be in a different partition, while on the same physical external drive? Or just samples and project file/folders on same physical external drive and partition is the way to go and all good?
  8. What's the best and most stable/efficient way to run Logic and samples? Meaning should I have Logic installed on my main OS harddrive, and just only have my own samples and other sample libraries on a different physical drive, for example an external SSD? The reason I wanna do this is to prevent consistently intermittent "System Overload", which a Logic support tech suggested I run samples off an external drive, if I remember correctly, but I don't remember exactly what he said so I just want to confirm if this is indeed the right/best way to run Logic to minimize issues and maximize performance?
  9. No problem. LAMBO! scoot scoot (If you aren't an SNL fan that'll make no sense) Hey actually, do you know the best way to run Logic and samples? Meaning should I have Logic installed on my main OS harddrive, and just only have my own samples and other sample libraries on a different physical drive, for example an external SSD? The reason I wanna do this is to prevent consistently intermittent "disc overload", which a Logic support tech suggested I run samples off an external drive, if I remember correctly, but I don't remember exactly what he said so I just want to confirm if this is indeed the right/best way to run Logic to minimize issues and maximize performance?
  10. So I'm gonna get an external SSD to put all my samples and stuff like that on there. What kind of file format should I format the drive as to make it most efficient/reliable using with Logic Pro on an M1 Mac? I have Logic installed on my internal Mac Mini SSD drive, and will run samples off the external SSD that is coming soon.
  11. Under normal conditions you should not see that behavior. Any custom routing in the MIDI Environment? Can you post the Logic project so that one of us can give it a test drive? How to attach files to your post This happens in all projects, even new projects. I can upload the project if you still would like. However, I've found something that might be causing it, but I have no clue why the hell it would be causing it lol. Here's a video showing what I'm talking about... ....I originally thought it had something to do with aux tracks being adde to the arrange window. However, I added aux tracks to the arrange window with the "create new track", and it didn't result in this error. However, when I added aux tracks into the arrange window by pushing on the power button on the aux track's automation, it causes the glitch to be imparted onto that aux track and only that aux track. You will see in detail when you watch it through, you'll see what I mean. Very weird lol
  12. I just got a new Mac mini and installed a fresh Logic. On my old computer, when I had multiple tracks selected in either the Arrange or Mix window, and adjusted the volume slider, it would increase and decrease the volume of all the tracks proportionally to each other. However, now with my new computer, when I do this, it makes all tracks instantly jump to the volume level of the track I click to slide the volume on, and syncs the volume exactly the same as the one I'm adjusting. How do I change this setting so that it functions how it used to? Here is a video showing what I'm talking about... As of making this post, I'm using latest Logic, latest MacOS, on a Mac Mini M1 2020.
  13. I'm debating between the iMac with i9 CPU vs the iMac Pro with Xeon W CPU. Is the Xeon W better in all aspects?
  14. Ah okay, well, once I get to a certain amount of plugins, it always starts gradually slowing down and eventually any amount of playback instantly causes the overload. My internal mac soundcard, I get the same overloads. I'm thinking I might just get a new Mac Pro lol.
