Q: logic pro x graphics lag on yosemite

when ever i add a new audio file the level meters gets laggy and they don't respond as expected.

 

things i've tried:

1.clean install and reinstalling both logic and OSX

2. opening in low resolution

3. changing the buffer size

4.various turnarounds i found on the web

 

still nothing.

 

any suggestions?

    In all honesty,

     

    Roll back to Mavericks if you can, using your Backups...

     

    Logic Pro X and Yosemite is 'not ready for Primetime' yet...

    If you cannot roll back for whatever reason then you will have to wait for any updates to OS X and/or Logic to fix such performance issues...

    Thanks for the quick reply. Installing mavericks was indeed my next step . The only thing i worry about is that my mac came with yosemite pre installed. You see its a mid2014 macbook pro. I do have a bootable usb drive and i dont mind erasing my disk. I will give it a try. I personaly believe that mavericks are close to the latest yosemite so i wont have any driver issues. What do you think?

    Then don't roll back to Mavericks..... as Mavericks may not come with the drivers etc for the newer hardware in your MBP....

     

    Use an external drive to boot to Mavericks from.. to test stability of your hardware under Mavericks..

     

    http://www.macworld.com/article/2056561/how-to-make-a-bootable-mavericks-install -drive.html

     

    Once you are happy with the stability of Mavericks and your Mac.. then install Logic Pro X to the external HD too and test with any drivers you use for your own external Hardware....

     

    Then and only then, if all goes well, should you install Mavericks on your internal drive....

     

    Note: You cannot download Mavericks legally from anywhere.. so unless you have made your own copy of the Mavericks installer at some point in the past, you will not be able to install Mavericks legally, from scratch.

     

    If you try and use a backup made from a different Mac.. then again, that backup may not have the correct drivers etc.. for your newer hardware.....

     

    Otherwise, how you install Mavericks, is up to you.. I cannot offer advice on any other methods to achieve this.

     

    Cheers..

    For some reson i can download the mavericks installer from my purchases legally. I do have the installer in my apps folder so i can make a bootable usb drive. Thanks for the link i will try . However i am very optimistic because i have read an artice about the machines that support mavericks (not the official apple) according to the hardware support and my laptop was included.plus i think that all the macbooks (of the same release) have the same components so i THINK that macs with pre installed mavericks have no difference with pre installed yosemite if both can support these OS. Sorry for being so confusing . You obviously have more knowleadge than me . Thanks . I would apreciate any further help.

    Logic not being Yosemite ready yet is so NOT cool... C'mon Apple. It's your app now, not E-magic's... Treat it and its users right. This 8 months between updates thing is not right. It seriously seems like NO ONE is paying any attention to it. Just like no one is paying attention to this thread lol.

    We're all users, none of us can do anything... I'm still on Logic-9 and Snow Leopard, even if Yosemite and Logic-X were working well together I don't think I'd have the speed, efficiency, track count.... etc...etc...   that I do now.

     

    Personally, I think Apple has everyone well trained to upgrade, all the time, at any cost.  I'm off that train.

    What's worse is, people upgrade and are stuck with a poorly working system and yet they give Apple a bye instead of calling up and raising h#ll.

    I am with you Pan! If I had a phone number and someone to call I would be at the front of the line raising H E double hockey sticks with you! I love Apple products, I really do, but DA!$ they really do not seem to care about anyone but themselves and their iPhone bubble they are stuck in. I wouldn't be opposed at all with another company buying Logic up and paying attention to it, making it their baby...

     

    Apple's heads are stuck up their proverbial iPhone and iPads butts... What I don't understand is they are not at all short on money. With their BILLIONS of dollars they could easily have a team of 10 or so dedicated to nothing but Logic and they wouldn't even feel it financially.

    Yep, got it. That is all fine and dandy for someone with a machine that supports Mavericks and is supported by Apple running Mavericks. NOT cool when you know as well as I do that if Apple sells you a brand new machine today it is running Yosemite, and therefore Apple will ONLY officially support running Yosemite. Therefore, Apple GET YOUR PRO APP LOGIC UP TO DATE TO RUN WITH YOSEMITE!!!

    By the look of the length of the release notes for 10.1... they may well have 10 now...
