Logic cpu meter spike while recording / monitoring?
Hey, I just checked Logic's internal CPU meter, and noticed something quite weird is happening.
I have only ever had one overload message, which I think was caused by changing a BFD2 setting, so the fact Logic believes that it's maxing out one of my cores confuses me a little more.
Anyway, in a template project (just unused audio tracks), if I click the record (or the monitor) button, my first core tops out in Logic's meter, but in the activity monitor, little changes, and sometimes even shows the load changing between cores, with Logic still insisting the overloading core is doing the work.
If I deselect the button, the core returns to no/little load. It doesn't seem to affect Logic's performance, but I'm more than curious about this.
Anyone have the same thing happen to them, or is there a reason for this?

From another post of mine:
An observation about lopsided CPU behaviour: a reliable source(an AU and hardware developer) remarked the other day that according to his tests all stuff that is on record enabled/monitored tracks can only run in a single thread using the (small) i/o buffer on one CPU.
This 'real time' CPU can easily be overloaded, while the rest of the CPU's may be idling.
You can have loads and loads of CPU hungry stuff on tracks that are in playback mode(and that use a large buffer because logic knows what is coming) on an octocore, but for record/monitor enabled tracks the octocore is just as good as a single core/cpu machine with the same specs(CPU speed/cache/RAM speed etc.)
Haven't tested this myself yet, but is sounds plausible and it would certainly explain some of the trouble I've seen with CPU overtloads.

The Logic CPU meter overloads as soon as I add just one software instrument track and insert any new instrument into that track (even in new project)
It happens using Logic X or Logic 9, and Audio tracks are no problem.
Then if I open up the CPU meter properties, it appears to be just 1 of the 2 meters overloading (right hand meter)
I previously thought it might be a Mavericks problem, so went back to Mountain Lion 10.8.5 but still have the problem.
I remember reading something about the Core Audio settings so maybe it could be this ???
I even tried re-installing Logic X but no difference. Although I now have 2 versions of Logic X and Logic 9 on same Mac, so maybe thats not helping!
many thanks in advanceI even tried re-installing Logic X but no difference. Although I now have 2 versions of Logic X and Logic 9 on same Mac, so maybe thats not helping!
No.. both LPX and LP9 can happily coexist on a single Mac without issue...
Then if I open up the CPU meter properties, it appears to be just 1 of the 2 meters overloading (right hand meter)
Make sure you quit all other apps running at the same time including background tasks...
Other than that....
What are your Mac's model/specs?
Have you read the support document regarding this?

Logic Pro 9 crashing while recording
Hi all,
Been having serious issues with Logic 9 crashing, specifically while recording for a long period of time (30 mins continuous). I'm recording 3 audio tracks at most, at 44.1k/16bit. My computer has plenty of space available, 25 gigs at the start of record.
System specs:
MacBook

25 GB is not a lot of space, easpecially if that is on your system disk. You should KEEP at least 20 % of its capacity free, so unless your disk is 80 GB or smaller, it is too little. And since you only have 2 GB RAM, you'll need that free disk space (the less RAM, the more OS X needs free disk space to "offload" ongoing processes onto.)
Unfortunately, the crash report doesn't yield any direct clues as to why this happened (it's a 'generic' crash report). But I would urge you to record .caf files to an External FireWire disk, not AIFF or WAV to the internal.

There is a maximum recording size according to file type, as follows:
AIFF: The AIFF file format cannot handle audio file recordings larger than 2 GB:
For 16-bit, 44.1 kHz stereo files, this equals a recording time of about 3 hours and 15 minutes.
For 24-bit, 96 kHz, 5.1 surround files, this equals a recording time of about 20 minutes.
WAVE (BWF): The WAVE file format cannot handle audio file recordings larger than 4 GB:
For 16-bit, 44.1 kHz stereo files, this equals a recording time of about 6 hours and 30 minutes.
For 24-bit, 96 kHz, 5.1 surround files, this equals a recording time of about 40 minutes.
CAF: If the size of your recording exceeds the above limits, choose the CAF (Apple Core Audio Format) file format, which can handle the following recording times:
The bit depth and channel format—mono, stereo, or surround—do not affect the maximum recording size of CAF files.[/quote]
About 13 hours and 30 minutes at 44.1 kHz
About 6 hours at 96 kHz
About 3 hours at 192 kHz -
CPU usage spikes while viewing webpage with java script
Can anyone tell me if it is normal for cpu use to spike up to 90% when I view a webpage that's using javascript? It is a scrolling news headline using java script 1.2 in the webpage.
ThanksFortunately, while my temps do go up and fan speed increases, mine does not become exceedingly loud. I apparently have a lot of good karma stored up because both the original midplane and its replacement - bad caps - have had quiet fans.

Monitoring Sound Out While Recording
Does anyone know what would be the correct settings in Logic Pro for monitoring the sound output while recording a guitar? In Garage Band, all you have to do is turn on monitoring and you can hear the throughput. I used to be able to do it in an old version (4.8) of Logic. Since I upgraded to Logic 7, I have not been able to hear the "real time" guitar while I record. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (By the way, I am using an iMic to connect to the USB input . I'm using a G5 (2.7ghz dual proc) PowerMac.
Mark - Thanks for your reply. Yes, I've tried experimenting with that all night long. I can see that it affects the output meter in the track mixer, but still no sound. When I select the iMic input , the sound does not route through to the physical line out on the G5. I can open up Garage Band and then go back to Logic and then hear the output. The problem with this setup is then after I record a track, you can't hear the output of what you just recorded without first going in and selecting the "built-in audio" setting of the audio options (changing from the iMic setting). I never had this problem with the ancient version (4.8) of Logic I used on my old iBook.
Thanks again for your reply.

Meter more than just VU while recording?
When recording a project of any kind (multitrack or otherwise) one can obviously monitor the levels of sound thanks to the little VU meter in the recording panel.
But, I want more!
Is there any way to monitor, say, EQ or correlation or goniometry or something? Anything that would show more detail while ACTUALLY MAKING THE RECORDING? I know that the plugin called MultiMeter will allow many different glimpses into your audio, but only AFTER you've actually finished recording.
Real-time recording meters. That's what I'm after.
Does anyone know if soundtrack can do this? Are there plugins for it that will?
And, if not, does anyone know of a decent program that CAN?
thanks,
-JeffThanks. I opened pref/sound/output while playing music but when I plugged the headphones in a check appeared in the mute box. Unchecked and it works again.

Hello,
I have a first generation MacBookPro core duo 2.8 with 2 gb ram. When playing a song within LP8, I see that bottom cpu meter going crazy up to "red" while top one remains only lower lever somewhere between 10%.
It appears that only on of the core is doing all the audio processing while the other one is taking a rest. This is causing pops and clicks.
is there a way to tweak the config so that LP8 uses both cores equally?
Thanks in advance..
MThis has been a very hot topic. If you search around you'll find tons of threads talking about the dreaded core overload message, and along with that is discussion about the issue if processor distribution.
The short answer is no, you can't do anything to spread it more evenly. Even though Logic can use multiple cores, each individual plug-in will only use one so a processor heavy plug will cause one to peak like that.
If it's not cause real issues even though it's going in the red, don't worry too much about it. It sounds like for you it's causing clicks and pops, so here are some things to try:
Make sure your Airport card is OFF
Increase the buffer.
Set the 'Process Buffer Range' to LARGE.
Try with both the I/O Safety Buffer ON and OFF. People are reporting varying different things with this setting, but for me it will KILL my performance.
Good Luck! -
Logic X Recording Problem
I can't hear (ex.) voice back while recording no matter I turn on Auto Input Monitoring at Record Menu or Channel Strip.
On certain old projects I could when thru AUX to REC, which was my L7/8/9 procedure.
Recording takes place on a consolidated session, all audio tracks with no latency, which actually happens only it can't be heard.
Monitoring is very inconsistent and in fact doesn't work at all. Any help?

It's just that I can input monitor thru an extra AUX channel independently of the REC channel.

I'm trying to record audio into my iPad2 using GarageBand and an iRig, but I can't monitor my tracks at the same time as recording, meaning if I lay down a drum track and attempt to record guitar, I can't hear the drums while recording. Thoughts?
Hi, I have this exact same problem. I haven't been using an iRig, just a cheap USB-jack cable. I managed to do this with the first cable I bought, but since it broke I've been unable to find a replacement that allows me to hear the drums while recording. DId you manage to get over this issue? If so I would really like to know how. Thanks and best wishes.

Monitor my voice my while recording vocals?
I have icore5,8gb ram and my Rode nta1 mic which is pluged into profire610 that goes to my pc with 6pin buswire and headphones comes out from my pc realtak jack.Now the problem is that I can't monitor my voice while recording vocals.I have done Edit>Pre>Audio Hardware and set the device class to ASIO and device it shows M-Audio ProFire ASIO.and select Release ASIO driver in background.It records everything and play.But while im recording I can't hear my voice in headphones.Still if I choose MME from Audio Hardware and go to Multitrack window click R and "I" then I can hear everything in headphones but then again I can't record using MME.Please help me out im going crazy here
Is there any reason not to just use one of the two headphone jacks on the front of the Profire 610? That's what they're there for.
Trying to use the in built Realtek piece of rubbish at the same time as the Profire is frought with difficulties since the Profire works best with ASIO drivers whereas the Realtek is an MME device. Even if you could get it working, I suspect that latency might make the monitoring less than ideal.
Edited to add: you MIGHT be able to get it working the way you want if you download ASIO4ALL from http://www.asio4all.com/
I have no way of trying this and still think using the Profire headphone outs would be a far better solution...but if you have to use the Realtek for some reason, give ASIO4ALL a try. -
Hello... I use Logic Studio 9 and a Presonus Firewire console.... the tempo goes irregular (mostly slower) while recording... I guess this is due to any digital incongruence... I just need to know if this problem can be solved by using a professional clock (Apogee Rosetta, for example).. Thank you.
Probably the reason why no one has answered you, is because it could be a BAZILLION things.

CPU meter on logic. Showing only one part.
Hey again.
I've noticed the CPU meter shows 6 separate meters, although they all show some use, the lowermost one appears to be doing the most work, and from time to time maxes out,especially when bouncing. Could I be sacrificing performance?Well I only have a quad core.
But it still shows 6 down the bottom. When I dc on the meter, it shows 8, two of which are inactive, 1,5&6 show activity most of the time, but when logic is playing the first 5 show almost equal activity, and 6 shows nothing.
This brings more to my attention. I assumed each bar corresponds to each core. But I have 8 bars.. And the disk I/O.
I have limited knowledge of the specifics of hardware, but normally enough to get me by... Always willing to learn tho. -
Logic audio engine crashes while streaming video and recording 4 channels simultaneous audio
logic audio engine crashes while streaming video and recording 4 channels simultaneous audio
Hi there,
I also wanted to thank you for your response and let you know that I have tried all those trouble shooting things you suggest to no avail.
it seems to me that the first explanations are most likely to be the case.
namely that the program can multithread while the plugs only use one processor (particularly EXS24) which is bloody useless.
also increasing the buffer to 1024 is not an option cause you gotta bloody lay tracks, which means you gotta hear the BG tracks and play yours on top in time otherwise, you record your new tracks and they are so out of time that it sounds like a little kid wanking on a guitar or whatever...
and of course for composition with midi intruments it doesn't work at all cause your latency becomes so huge that you would need a miracle to quantize your off time notes back to normal so that you can arrange, print score, etc.
either way, I hope that my tone is not disrespectful, it is aimed at apple in frustration, I'm grateful for your help.
thank you
