Major UI Lag in Logic Pro 9.1.7 on OS 10.8?

that means we spent 3 exact months and lots of phone calls.

installed 9.1.8. Things slightly improved but the problem still not sorted in my case...anybody else getting these symptoms?

Using dual monitors, if plug ins are shifted to 2nd monitor, 1st monitor is still slugish in response - (this does not happen in SL) I.e. if i move some parameters say on a channel eq which is on the 2nd monitor, if I then go to swap to a different track in the arrange, it does not allow this - moans for about 20 seconds and then catches up - this gets even slower if I start to open up 3rd party plugs/Kontact/Arturia etc

So SL it is for a long time to come I think...

Is this in a setup with only Logic'sown plugins?

Im testing this with a current project Im working on which has many different Logic plug ins and 3rd party...It works fine in SL with only the occasional cpu spike....I have not tested with just Logic plug ins yet, will have to start a new project, but in my case this would be irrelevent as I rely on 3rd party plugs....

If Logic's plugins have been updated to be compatible with the Mountain Lion (and Lion) changes, and your 3rd part plugins haven't gone through similar changes, maybe a new version of Logic won't help you much. I don't think the Logic software is capabale of controlling how redraws are made inside 'visually active' 3rd part plugins.

@zxc - yep, I think ur right - best thing i can try is to test a purely logic session, see how this reacts - if the problem remains, think im gonna have to completely wipe my main HD and do a clean install of all OS and apps - and see how this reacts - if the same, will have to wait for new OS update - who has the time to do all this, just want to write a track - not too much to ask is it!!! back to SL for a while...cheers.

Hi,

If the problems exist with 3rd part plugins only, and you can identify which manufacturers or 3rd part plugs that are causing the lag, why not just ask them if they are aware of the problem - and if there's a version which works fine with Mountain Lion coming up?

Cheers, yep thats what im gonna do...need to do a thorough test on each individual 3rd party plug in...think i might finish my track 1st in SL....ta

Amen.

The issue isn't fixed here ...

The Native Plugs are now working as expected, some third party too - some not.

Especially the Vienna Suite (VSL) is horrible to work with - i just opened a thread in their forum ...

s.o.s. ... same old ****!

If native stuff is all working and the problem is only third party, that may require updates from the third parties. If that's the case I hope Apple has been in touch with developers and given them advice about specifically what they need to update to fix it.

What happened to Logic? 3 months, no hot fix? I'm dissapointed to read the 9.1.8 list of improvements. I think they are great, but did Apple really make us wait for all those updates in 9.1.8 before releasing the most important fix of them all which was the debiliating lag we had? I been suffering this issue since June, maybe longer. I decided to start using Ableton again and its grown on me. Unfortunatly my co producers have been using Logic 8 so kinda need logic 9 to work. I havent installed the 9.1.8 yet and im sceptical it will even solve my problem.

Really not feeling confident about Logic or Apple anymore. 😟 Ableton 8.3 is rock *** solid.

Lol , same problem with 9.1.8 , as ppl said before - Just slightly better ! Just installed clean ML on External drive , clean logic 9.1.8 , latest plugin alliance and Waves Suits. Lagging , freezing, annoying ) **** u Logic guys , are u joking ?

But in SL Logic acts perfect and smoother then it was , and thats great )))

Thinking to try Ableton too )

Try without the Waves (and other 3rd part) stuff.
