Serious Lag

Hi,
I recently bought a SE2200a. It's running through a Focusrite Safire Firewire. I'm having serious lag issues in projects with a lot of midi in! Even with the buffer size right down, it still has a lot of lag. If I open a whole new project, I no longer have this issue. Is there anything I can do to solve this, or am I going to just have to bounce down the track and record the vocals in another project?
Cheers,
Tom

Basically,
All the midi instruments are internal (the ones that came with logic). I've got 5 or 6 audio tracks which were recorded in the jack inputs of the interface. I'm now using the three pin so I've got phantom power for the mic (haha). It's just that it doesn't do it in some other projects?
The forcusrite control program is a nightmare, nothing makes sense!
edit:
I've opened up a whole new blank project, and selected to add audio - then enabled it to record. This works with no lag what so ever. Is there any way I can copy and paste everything into this new project to see if it will work?

    Restore the phone as a new device. There is probably something that was corrupted on your phone during the update and has been passed via the backup to the replacement phone.  If the corruption/problem is contained in the backup, you'll need to re-sync your data, and re-install your apps manually. Restoring the backup again will only bring the problem back with it.
    If restoring it as new does not fix it, then make an appointment at the genius bar.

  • SERIOUS lag issues with Intel iMac

    Hello everyone,
    I'm pretty frustrated right now. I've been having this serious lag issue with my new iMac for the past few days. I think it may have started after I ran the last security update.
    What happens:
    When switching between apps, the system will hang for 1-3 seconds between doing anything. This includes typing, mouse requests, etc. It's VERY frustrating. I have activity monitor open currently, and I am seeing both Safari and SystemUIServer hogging up the CPU resources like CRAZY. I've even seen Safari recently give a CPU usage of 120%, right before I loaded this webpage. tis isn't just centralized to Safari too.... I have the following apps running:
    Adium 0.89.1
    FoireFox 1.5.0.8
    Safari
    Activity Monitor
    My Memory stats currently are:
    175MB Wired
    708MB Active
    618MB Inactive
    1.47GB Used
    There should be no reason I'm getting these lags with just two web browsers and a chat client open.
    Has anyone else expierenced the lags?? Any suggestions? I'm almost ready to reinstall OS X and not run the last security update. Thanks

    Hello Matthew
    Are you running any maintenance scripts on a regular basis?
    http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/maintscripts.html
    I would manually run this script from The X Lab, and my load times would improve greatly. The problem was, I would forget to run them untill I noticed web pages loading slow or iTunes and iPhoto taking for ever. It wasn't untill someone here in discussions suggested Anacron that I saw the light. WOW what a difference Anacron has been making in my overall system speed. My iMac has not been shutdown for 11days 5hrs 34mins (sleep or use only) and opening new App's, switching App's and web pages load as fast or faster than after a fresh start up. If your system is operating properly and you are having only what seems to be a slow or sluggish issue Anacron will make a difference.

  • Powerbook g4 cannot stream any video without serious lag issues

    hi guys
    have a solid older g4 powerbook 1.33 ghz 1.25 ram powerbook i gave to my gf as a present. This thing just will not stream any videos with out serious lag. Even if videos buffer all the way it jumps all over the place.
    Sites like Justin.tv we cannot stream one channel good, audio is fine but picture is unwatchable due to lag. I can watrch the same channel on my 2007 macbook pro and its totally fine. Any tips on how to get this powerbook running right?? Even youtube you can't watch because of laaaaaag. This shouldn't be an issue.
    thx

    Unfortunately, our PBs are showing their technology age with streaming video's that have become more prevalent. You can take a few steps to try and maximize the performance, however, at the proverbial end of the day, if viewing streaming video's is important, it's time to upgrade.
    First, ensure you have 10% to 15%+ free disk space on your internal hard drive. Less than that can really crimp performance.
    Download OnyX and run the tasks on the cleaning and maintenance tabs. Before using any disk maintenance program, good data protection practice says you should have your hard drive backed up. (I've never heard of a data issue with Onyx, however). Download from: http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php?sid=e115f3f4154a6c53a8426d0c4b8a52a5
    Periodically run the Apple hardware test or either of the TechTool programs to ensure there's not any sick hardware getting in the way.
    Bring up the activity monitor and on the system memory tab look at page ins and outs. If page outs are 10% or more of page ins, you can use more memory for what you run.

  • Serious lag in Windows 8.1

    Hello all,
    I have just recently got my shiny new iPhone 5S and thus found it necessary to use iTunes to sync local content such as music.
    The problem I have however is there is serious lag trying to navigate through the system. I use two finger scrolling on my touchpad and this lags so badly it's pretty unusable, and if I click on an album the animation as the album art expands to show is also really bad. Finally, if I start to sync music with the phone the CPU usage rockets up to 90+% and again grinds to a halt.
    I have used iTunes 11 on another Windows 8.1 machine which works really smoothly so I don't believe there is particularly a problem with Windows or iTunes.
    Has anybody else had anything similar? I'm considering rebuilding my laptop with Windows 8.1 and seeing if that helps but it's a little extreme currently. Everything else on my laptop works fine which for the record is an i5 2.3GHz cpu, with 8GB of RAM and uses an SSD.
    Thanks,

    Also, what drivers are you running, specifically, with what GPU?
    I ask because there are multiple sources for drivers, and some folks get them from the wrong place.  The best source is the web site of the maker of the video card.

  • Serious lagging, spinning beach ball - about to switch NLE's

    I'm beginning a commercial edit with a fast turnaround.  To prepare, I bought a top of the mac pro - literally, the best you can get as far as I know.
    12-core, 3.06ghz, 128gb of ram, ATI Radeon 5870, SSD system drive.  I'm editing off of a 6gb/s G-Raid ESpro fiber RAID with an ATTO controller card.  The computer is only two weeks old and the only software on is in FCPX and a few other quicktime and RED programs.  No FCP7 to compete with, permissions are in tact, etc.  I have iStat installed and all temperatures, hard drives, ram, and other hardware looks normal.  Nothing is being taxed when I'm editing, so I believe it's a software issue.
    Editing ProRes (regular) 422 video, 1920x1080 23.98.  I'm not using proxies, because my understanding was, with this type of machine I wouldn't have to.   Project and event files are saved to the external fiber drive.
    But I'm getting a serious lag on everything... moving a clip, stutters in the timeline when I click and drag.  When I hit playback, I would say about half of the time, i get a spinning wheel for anywhere from 2-20 seconds. 
    I'm 3 days into this edit, but very seriously considering performing a system restore and installing FCP7 to get the job done.  This is no easy task, with over 2 terabytes of footage and many clips already tagged and prepped, but I'm willing to do it if it fixes this. 
    Anyone else have experience with this?  I've been reading it may be a Mountain Lion (10.8.3) issue, but considering I couldn't a new computer with a different OS, how do I solve this?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I've taken out 4 sticks of ram to run 64gb.  It's paired correctly on 1, 3, 5, and 7.  Still issues.
    Playback preferences are set to 'better performance'. 
    I've moved all my event and project files to my system SSD and got rid of all unused projects/events that fcp sees.
    I will buy the digital rebellion program and try trashing preferences, but I've done that in the past on previous machines w/ fcp7.  It would work for small quirks, but this feels like something more significant.
    I'll be calling Apple today... with our tight deadlines, I'm just bearing through it since we don't have 2 days for them to run a diagnostic.  But I'll see if they can do anything.
    Thanks

  • Serious Lag with OS4 update on 8gb iPod Touch, help with firmware rollback

    Hey all,
    I updated my 8gb 3rd Gen iPod Touch to the 4.0 OS today and now i'm experiencing serious lag with everything. I want to roll back to an earlier OS, say 3.1.2 or 3.2 but I cant find anywhere to download a copy, its like apple force you to update then leave you fending for yourself with no options to download previous versions.
    Can anyone help?
    Any other 8gb Touch owners having similar issues? Really not worth it just for folders and spell check...
    Oh and Apple should be disgusted at how hard it is to find the link to make your own topics on this site, I'm a fairly skilled user and I was chasing my tail for a good 30min...
    Firstly **** this place makes it hard to find how to post a topic

    I find it comical that EVERYONE was complaning about the lost of features for 2nd gen ipod touchs, yet even now people complain of lag issues, imagine if apple DID put multi tasking and wallpaper on the 2nd gen.

  • IMovie 10.0.2 has serious lag issues

  • Flash CS3: Serious lag when Switching between Applications

    I've got a serious problem with Flash CS 3 on my Macbook Pro,
    which makes it almost unworkable.
    When I'm working in flash, switch to another application
    (Mail, Illustrator, any...) and then switch back to flash. the
    program freezes for at least 9 to 10 seconds: The Menu's are all
    transparant and greyed out, and the only thing I see is the beloved
    "beachball" spinning.
    Needless to say that this makes it very hard to work with the
    program, since switching between apps is a big part of my workflow.
    Is anyone experiencing the same problem?
    I have re-installed the whole CS3 suite (twice) and even
    cleaned up my computer and did a clean install of OS X!!
    I'm running on a 15" mac book pro (2,33) with 2gig memory,
    bought last may.
    Any help is welcome,

    I'm having the same problem as well. I was using Flash 8,
    thought I would upgrade to Flash CS3 and solve the problem but that
    was no good. There's still a long lag time when switching to Flash
    from any other program. Not sure if it's a Memory problem or a Font
    problem. Any word on a solution for this annoying problem?
    I'm running a PowerPC G5 with dual 2.0ghz processors and 2.5
    GB of ram.
    Thanks!

  • Serious Lag iPhone 5 USB to Sony Stereo

    When I had ios 6 and change songs, there would be no lag at all. But now that I updated to ios 7 there's a serious 5 second lag between songs on my car stereo, how can this be fixed?

    I Would take it to an Apple store for testing and diagnosis. That is free, repairs are not.

  • Programs automatically open last several documents - causing serious lag and confusion.

    Since upgrading to Lion (clean install of 10.7.3), I've noticed that many programs have some extreme lag.  Programs that used to love because they were so fast (like preview) now take up to 45 seconds of spinning pinwheels before opening.  I've also noticed that when I open a program (such as preview), the program automatically opens the last several documents I had been working on. This is true across several platforms and programs including Preview, Word, Powerpoint, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc., etc., etc.,  - - as you all are probably aware some power point and InDesign files can be pretty massive and hog up a lot of processing power/RAM when opening.  It's really frustrating when these are documents I'm not actually interested in working on.  It's also frustrating that when in a meeting with my boss, if I open photoshop pictures of a recent family vaction will automatically open up.  Terribly unprofessional.
    How can I make this stop?
    If I didn't already say, I'm running 10.7.3 on a newer (fall 2011) 13" MBP.

    Couple of things to try -
    • Go to System Preferences > General; in the Section "Recent Items", uncheck the item "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps".
    • With the program (such as Preview) open, go to its File menu, select "Open Recent..." - from that submenu, select "Clear menu".

  • Serious Lag issues with Photo Booth and iChat

    Ever since I installed Leopard on my mac book pro, I have had terrible lag problems with the movie option in Photo Booth (sometimes even freezing my computer) as well as the video chat in ichat. With Tiger, lag was never a problem when I was on ichat. I have the 1.83 GHz Intel core duo, so I'm surprised this is happening. Any ideas would be very helpful! Thanks!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Hoosier2010
    As you correctly note, the iSight Updater 1.0.3 applies ONLY to Macs with iSight video camera that used OS X v10.3.7-10.3.9. All MacBook Pros came with a later version of Mac OS, and, therefore, cannot use the 1.0.3 Firmware update. That Firmware update is NOT your MacBook Pro's problem.
    If your iSight problems began immediately after your MacBook Pro's drive was replaced, I would suspect a hardware problem left uncorrected during the service call. Contact the people who did the work and ask them to correct the problem that began at the time of hard drive replacement.
    If the previous service work did not cause your problem, try Apple's suggestions for How to Troubleshoot iSight. If none of the suggestions that you can do to your Mac resolve the trouble, your problem likely is hardware. Hardware problems will require help from your Apple-Authorized Service Provider.

  • Serious screen lag when typing in fields with Safari, Chrome, etc.

    With my MacBook Pro 15" i7 I'm experiencing a serious lag time when typing comments in posts online... like right now.. I'll type a few words and nothing shows up on the screen until I stop typing. Then the rest of the words leisurely fill in after I stop.
    This happens in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc. On my iMac 27" i7 and MacPro, using the same Airport wi-fi in my house, I do not experience this.
    When I type in Mail, TextEdit, etc., as I type the letters show up as fast as I can type.
    I've got 8GB of RAM, 4GB of free RAM, a MacBook Pro15" i7, 500GB 7200 RPM HDD with plenty of space on it, recently fixed permissions, checked disk with Disk Utility AND DiskWarrior, re-booted, cleared caches, checked for current firmware... what now?
    This doesn't happen on my other Macs, so I know something is up with this machine. (I typed that entire last sentence in before anything showed up on the screen - then when I stopped, after a few seconds, the words filled in.)
    Driving me bonkers! Can anyone offer a solution?

    Im am having the same problems never happen before -15inch macbook pro i7 4 gb ram 500 gb 7200 rpm hd... curious that we both have the 7200 rpm!!?? ....On 2nd laptop same problem and after days with apple online and store -still no answer ....  Here is a link for another thread i'm on with further lag issues im having...

  • GT72 SERIOUS KEYBOARD INPUT LAG (MSI OFFICIALS TAKE A LOOK)

    First of all hi to the community..! 
    I m a GT72 2QE 629TR owner and GT72 has a SERIOUS keyboard input lag problem..maybe all of you guys cant feel that in fps or 3rd person games as i do but i have been playing STREET FIGHTER 4 for 5 years...in which game inputs are very sensetive..! I cant do neither combos nor plinking with this stupid keyboard.. but i can do that stuff easily in any keyboard even on my wireless logitech keyboard but in this steelseries keyboard CANT because of the serious lag..some combos need one frame link means 1/60 seconds bla bla..
    but i realized after uninstalled steelseries keyboard utility lag reduced a little bit but still there is some..I dont know which cause to this problem.. 
    Another request keyboard lights which depends on steelseries utility means we cant turn it on or off the light from keyboard shortcuts unless we are in windows...This is stupid...!    it should be also BIOS controlled..In a darker environment i cant see the buttons in windows LOG ON screen to enter the password why? because of this utility works after logged in so the lights dont work which is very STUPID again..  In my other 600$ Lenovo laptop you can control the light from the FN+SPACE keys even you are in bios or dos environment...because its controlled from the bios itself..
    Another bug  the dot(point) button right next to the 0(zero) button in numerical buttons area...it shows POINT on that button but when you press it comma comes on screen ? shhhh..which one is true comma or dot 
    MSI..! Do something to fix those problems IMMEDIATELY in the next BIOS update or whatever..! or go for
    Note: I m on E1781IMS.10R bios (appreciated the CPU C STATES enable/disable option because disabling this removed some stuttering with games also gives performance boost ) with 1781EMS1.510 EC Firmware and dont be offended we love MSI preferred over asus and others

    The keyboard should light up in red during POST. At least I saw GS70 has red keyboard light when it is turning on and the color turns to its setting while SSE is on.

  • Finalcut lag ProRes 422 HD

    This is not a question about how to fix this issue, this is a question about why, in terms of software, this lag occurs.
    I experienced some serious lag on a brand new macbook pro and I found the reason why.
    When I playback at 51% of the HD video size -> lag.
    When I playback at 50% of the HD video size -> no lag.
    Do FinalCut re-compress each frame when a video playback is needed? The reason behind the 51% seems odd. Someone can clear my mind about that?

    ProRes HD is a very huge file size, and can be very system intensive.  Only needed if you're working with stuff from a RED, Arri, or other such high end camera.  DSLR's should use ProRes LT, no image quality loss at all, smaller files sizes.
    No, FCP does not recompress each frame for playback.  You're simply hitting a performance threashold for your total system abilities (CPU, GPU, RAM, Hard Drives, etc).
    What Mac are you on, how much RAM, what is your hard drive config?
