Logic Pro freezing when recording audio

Hi guys!


I'm hoping you can help me with my problem.


The issue is that when I'm working in a project and want to record audio, Logic suddenly freezes up and stays in the spinning ball limbo. I then have to force-shut the project and open again. Then I can record but after an hour of production work and then hit the record button to record audio, it's the same problem all over. This both happens with small and larger projects, and I'm loosing my mind over it!


Any suggestions to what might be the problem and how I can solve it?


Here are my specs:


Catalina

Logic Pro 10.6

2.3GHz 8-core 9th-generation Intel Core i9 processor

Turbo Boost up to 4.8GHz

AMD Radeon Pro 5500M with 4GB of GDDR6 memory

16GB of 2666MHz DDR4 memory

1TB of SSD storage


Thanks for the help!

Of course. I have spent a fair amount of time with this subject and I believe there are a number of things that will allow you to optimize your workflow.


  • Understanding Buffer Size and using it accordingly (Low when Recording, High When Mixing/Listening)
  • Utilizing Low Latency Mode
  • Freezing Tracks
  • Printing/Bouncing Tracks to Audio
  • Utilizing Bus/Sends/Aux Tracks for proper distribution of FX
  • Bypassing Plug-ins when unsure if you would like to use them
  • Turning off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth if possible when working on Music
  • Turning off other programs that may inhibit performance


Really learning to utilize plug-ins is also important. For example, you can apply an EQ to every track to Low Cut/High Pass but you can also use "Selection Based Processing" to cover the same job without over-utilizing plug-in processing.


This kind of care and responsibility will give you a great user experience. I have been doing this work now for over 7 years and the last couple of years, I have had 0 issues by implementing the information above.


Hope this helps and solves your query,
