Logic Pro

2 problems I currently encounter... if anyone can help an old computer illiterate fogey....

If I leave Logic Pro on for a couple of hours with a project open... have a bit of lunch or whatever, the curser line then refuses to move and I can't loop anything. Playback is fine but of course I can get no further with a stuck curser. If I quit and restart, it comes back fine.
Using a guitar track, I have begun to suffer massive latency unless I switch off the amp, whereupon the latency is barely noticeable. I've been using a Focusrite interface and any other input gives me no problem. I didn't get that problem until recently... the version I'm using is 10.4.7 and because I understand little, I've never adjusted any preferences other than buffer size 1024 (because I was told to do this to avoid system overload) and buffer range medium.

Any idea/ suggestions would be great. Cheers. John

1. Mac OS Preferences -> Energy Saver -> adjust "Computer sleep" to "Never"

and disable "Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible".

Also de-activate "Power-Nap".

a) activate "Low-Latency-Mode" during the recording, is it better?

b) decrease the buffer size while recording. (Yes, the smaller the buffer size, the more work has to be done by the cpu).
