After updating to 10.7 loading projects become extremely slow - especially while loading plugins. Each plugin takes a lot of time before starting with new one. It’s much much slower than previous versions.
also when inserting plugins in channel
strips - it takes a lot of time and rainbow ball of death frequently appears before plugin opens and gets displayed in insert slot.
is anybody else experiencing this?
Mac mini, macOS 11.6
I just got off the phone with Apple Support about this issue (a call I scheduled with their Pro Media folks yesterday). While I was on hold I started to do a little debugging.
I started with a fresh project with a 10-second blank audio recording. Then, I saved it and opened it back up. So far so good, nice and fast. Then, I added RVox, a Waves plugin. I saved and closed the project and tried to re-open it. Bingo. Slow!
So then I started searching the Internet for slow Waves plugins with Logic Pro. I came across something that said I should run "Waves AU Reg Utility" which basically scans your plugins and registers them as Audio Units. I ran that utility and it said it errored out, but when I launched Logic Pro again with that test project it opened up right away!
I then tried opening one of my projects that has been really slow. Zing! It opened up with no delay.
Then the Apple Support person came on the line and I told him that I think I had solved it. Fortunately he was nice enough to explain that ... if you are running on macOS Monterey, plugins will only work properly if they are registered as Audio Units.
He send me a link to a document that explains some things you can do to troubleshoot Logic. Hopefully this also helps someone else here. My projects are all opening nice and fast now. I wish I would have discovered this two months ago.
Here is the link to that document: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201199
What you're describing is unrelated to this discussion. The issues discussed here refer to long loading times, while you're talking about old projects crashing Logic. Those two issues have nothing to do with each other. I recommend you post your issue report in a more appropriate discussion if there is one or else open a separate discussion for this.
It’s good to know that I’m not alone!
and it seems as the very similar situation.
I’m having the same issue any resolution?
Nothing as yet. I’ve been getting rid of third party plugin preferences and updating. Nothing has had any effect as yet. And no news from Apple. I haven’t found a resolution anywhere either.
For me it is activated on all drives… this is not the issue obviously.
It is activated, not sure if it can help someone, but it seems as it’s not the issue for me.
Definitely not the issue for me.
my support profile and activity samples are with Apple awaiting analysis.
they have been good and supportive.
How do I use Rosetta mode?!
Got it. Makes sense. Thank you!
Is there an easy way to revert back to 10.6 without having to re-install my whole system back up?
HI guys any update on the solution of this slow loading time issue ? Its becoming a headache .
It’s so annoying, simply moving my reverb down takes almost five minutes
That's why i ask...I believe at least half of the problems because people transfer their old Intel system to a new Mac
I dont have the option to downgrade and am literally waiting on apple team to release an update / some fix to finish 5 pending projects ..... sigh
Here we are in Feb 22, and i'm still having this issue! Did you ever see an improvement?
Logic Pro 10.7 very slow on loading projects and plugins
