Again - trying to solve system overload issue.

LE8 Works (No System Overload messages) on this:

Model: Power PC G5

Age: About 7 Years old

Processor: Dual 2Ghz

RAM: 5 GB DDR Ram

(Note: I will see the occassional overload message sometimes at the start of a track but I typically just start the timeline over and it works finr EVERY TIME)

It won't work at all on:

Model: MacBook Pro

Age: 5 Year old

Processor: 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo

RAM: 6GB RAM

(Note: Constant overload every time at the beginning of every track)

or this...

Model: MacBook Pro

Age: 1 Year old

Processor: 2.4 Ghz Intel Core i7

RAM: 8GB 1333 Mhz DDR3

(Note: Constant overload every time at the beginning of every track)

Anyone know why?

Hi

What OS are you running on these Macs, and which version of Logic?

Hard Drives in the MBP's:

Format?

Size?

Free Space?

Speed?

Processor: 2.4 Ghz Intel Core i7

Try increasing your buffer size... when in Logic Pro use Command + , go to the "Audio" tab and try using "1024" as your I/O Buffer Size. If your condition still prooves no improovement then let me in on the following infos....

Whats your Project Sample Rate? I/O Buffer Size? how many tracks you got on your project? How many are Audio? how many are Midi? Any 3rd party inserts enabled?
