Logic Pro X 10.8 System Overload

This is insane I have the same problem. It never was an issue in previous version and now I can't work. Thanks apple.

Not sure if you looked at the past messages on this thread. But last Nov It was found to be an issue with Kontakt 7.6.1 It was causing the system overload issue for which this thread was started. I am on Ventura and hit the issue anfter upgrading to logic 10.8. And upgrading kontakt to its latest version fixed the issue for the user that started this thread and worked for me as well. Wondering if you have that a try?

best of luck

This was exactly the case for me. Upgraded kontakt and everything is running smooth again. Thanks

I have a MacBook Pro m2cmax with 64 gb ram and 4 terabyte hard drive purchased only 10 months ago.

I upgraded the operating system to Ventura 13.6.2 in order to upgrade logic to 10.8.

The result is that I am completely stuck! Logic no longer works. Every Logic document crashes before I can listen to even a single note!

Untenable situation!

Updating Contact didn't help sadly.

Flex Pitch makes everything very slow when activated even on an empty project :<

Kindly let me know if you have encountered that.

Should not have updated to 10.8

In my case, after a few days, I was able to solve the various problems encountered in Logic 10.8. The conflict stemmed from my Akai MPC One driver, which I had to trash; I haven't tried reinstalling it yet since I use a Motu sound card, and now everything works. Sooner or later, however, I will try to reconnect my MPC One as well hoping that it will not create conflicts with Logic 10.8 again.I am not a technician so I went by trial and error and in my case I solved it by excluding the Akai drivers.

YES updated Kontakt that was the problem... finally!

Been having the same issue over the last few days since upgrading to logic 10.8. I had to open an old project and it wouldn't play more than 15 to 20 sec and it would over load. I disabled all Plugins and it stopped overloading. I tried to figure out which plugin it was by disabling them all 1 by 1 but couldn't find the particular plugin?? I now have 2 versions of the same project 1 with plugins and the other with the plugins removed. The latter plays fine but the one with plugins overloads. If anyone figures out the particular plugin please share.

Thanks

The issue is Sonoma. It’s optimized for the M2-M3 but more the M2. I had similar issues after I upgraded from Monterey.

I reinstalled Monterey & had no issues since. Monterey is optimized for M1-M2 but mainly M1 macs.

Kontakt doesn’t like the latest update of Logic.

My recommendation is to roll back to Monterey & reinstall the previous version of Logic then update to Ventura from there if you need Ventura.

Hey thanks for the insight but I’m running a m2 pro Mac book pro 14” on 13.6 which I think is called venture? It been running great in the year or so I’ve had it never once over loading even though I run it with a low buffer. Since upgrade to logic 10.8 in the last few days it overloads multiple times a day. Was so bad I had cancel a session with a client as no matter what I set the buffer to it would play a few sec and over load even though the activity monitor show no real big spike in the cpu?

loving some of the new features in logic 10.8 but I really regret upgrading to it.

Same issue. Logic 10.8 on a 2018 Mac Mini with OS 13.6.1. Haven't upgraded to Sonoma, but shouldn't have to in order to use this Application. Logic Pro is entirely unstable with panics, pops, clicks, etc. And here I was thinking I'd avoid the hassle of Pro Tools compatibility and update issues by using Logic...

Switched back to Reaper because this has caused me so much wasted time in sessions. Maybe I'll come back to this eventually, but glad I'm not alone.

I don't think that it's sonoma. I used Logic before I updated to sonoma a few days ago. There is no difference. The problem must be something how logic handles plug ins. They need to fix it, Logic is basically useless at the moment.
