LOGIC PRO X ISSUES AFTER HIGH SIERRA INSTALL

Hi Guys

I recently upgraded my iMac 5k (late 2015) to High Sierra from Sierra. Before the upgrade, my Mac and Logic were running smoothly without any lag or issues. Since the upgrade I have been experiencing issues in Logic Pro X such as System Overload errors, lag when analyzing the EQ spectrum within EQ and higher CPU usage.

I started a project on Sierra, then continued working on it after the upgrade to High Sierra.

I always save current projects to the desktop for better performance on the SSD.

Before I upgraded to High Sierra, I made sure I checked for any updates for my apps and software, performed a clean in CleanMYMac and emptied any trash.

I then created a bootable USB drive from the high sierra installation file. I performed a clean install by formatting my SSD and installing a fresh copy.

I spoke to Apple Support about the issue and they suggested that I perform a reset of the System Management Controller and the NVRAM, which I done.

This made no difference to the performance.

Has anyone else experienced similar issues this or can provide me with a solution to my problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Chris

Hey I don't seem to have the .HFS+ directory folder and I only seem to have one of those Audio Music App folders. Do you have any advice on how I should handle this? This lag is killing me!

Hi, I've tried this fix but all I see is an empty folder (see grab below), no 'dir_#######' to be found, any ideas?

Would a clean install of Logic and my AU units resolve the issue?

Having issues as well. No fixes yet. Would love to help or be helped. Having shut down and plugin issues. I.m going to create a new user and see if all the issues still exist.

Hey!

After talking to the Logic techs I've done more testing with new user and just using only Logic plugins.

I've run into better luck in those situations but that's not how we all work. The tech also said he thought I had a corrupt Logic project. I've run into that in the past with every version of Logic. Not a lot but I have though.

Since I've been testing I've started to run into less issues even with the project that was possibly corrupt.

I really don't know why I'm running into less issues but I'll take it.

I did reset the Pram and test all my drives with disk utilities. Not sure if any of that helped.

I wish I had a clear solution but I don't. Something helped the issues. Just not sure what. I'll continue to monitor all my projects.
