Logic Pro X – Disk Too Slow error while r… – Apple Community.Logic ‘Disk Slow’ – Pulling my hair out!!! –
Iv never really taken much notice of my CPU usage Im guessing this is normal? Also any advise on harddrive setup I’ve done this for years btw. Yes, format your external drive with journaling off. The option IS available in disk utility all you have to do is hold down one of the modifier keys for it to appear in the menu. I forget. I think it’s as much the operating system as much as anything else, did you notice the “Disk too Slow or Overload” message not too long after upgrading to I do realize the “disk too slow, overload” problem has been around, well It can mean so many things, It can be an overload of the internal bus system so that a tiny bit of data doesn’t make it where it’s supposed to on time.
Often it’s plugins like Space Designer that tie up the bus, not only does it take a lot of cpu to do the convolution math it has to pass the data through as well. Journaling only manages disk integrity with files under 20Mb, if something happens to the audio drive chances are journaling won’t be able to do much, if anything. Journaling is mainly used on servers where track of many small files some of them open needs the added integrity.
I’ve never used journaling never seen any problems, the drives don’t work as hard. Aug 14, AM. The internal drive is then backed up to the Time Machine drive I guess you can never have too much back up! Before I do that please confirm that, if I do that, then subsequently want to revert for some reason, I can by simply selecting Enable Journaling. The other name for Journaling is Indexing.
Slightly different because of the OS involved but same basic function. Aug 14, PM in response to dandotcraig In response to dandotcraig. Aug 14, PM. More Less. Community Get Support.

You should not be getting this message, even using internal drives for moderate projects. Press the Go button. I do location recording as well but still use an old Acer XP laptop, between tracks.
Firewire connection. I’m not running anything in the background. Only Logic. It is equipped with USB 3. Do you know how to tell if Compressed memory is on? Also, do you think it will make a difference to use firewire instead of USB? I have a to cable that I can use. If you have a powered USB 2. Some USB 2. It worked fine for a year recording two shows every weekend with the longest set being an hour and a half.
Then, suddenly, over the past few months it started getting this error message interrupting the recording 2 or 3 times a set.
This is unusual because it is a overload message during recording of 16 raw audio tracks. There are no effects of software instruments involved. This should not be a strain on either the system or the hard drive. I’ve done everything I can think of to troubleshoot. I tried all the Logic settings, I tried a different hard drive, I tried different cables and cleared 99 Gb of free memory on the system drive.
I didn’t want to upgrade stuff because it was going so well up to that point but I eventually upgraded to El Capitan and the latest update of Logic as a final desperate attempt to solve the problem. It didn’t. If anything El Capitan just gave me more headaches over other things on top of this headache with Logic. I’ve been through so much troubleshooting and that was the last thing I could think of.
Since nothing on the computer appears to be doing anything. I am beginning to suspect a problem either with the mixer or with Logic’s handling of it. Jun 23, PM. Something had to change, a system doesn’t just stop working after a year unless there’s a hardware problem or software was upgraded.
Jun 24, AM. This already occurred to me for that exact reason: Stuff doesn’t just stop working suddenly. I was deliberately not doing any major updates so that I would avoid this so I was always disposed not to update. I am kind of anti-update these days.
The OS harasses us to update now, however. My iPhone comes on like a stalker. So I may have been annoyed into doing the occasional security updates. The OS was 2 or 3 versions behind so my calculation would have been that most of the major updating was done already and the only thing left was security fixes and adding things like RAW support rather than changing core components.
I haven’t been able to line up dates though. Updating to El Captain and the latest Logic was the calculation that maybe some update I forgot about caused the problem and hopefully whatever it was had been identified and fixed by now since it was a couple OS versions down the pipeline by now.

Did you update Logic Pro Did you install any new Apps on your Mac? Did you add a new Hard Drive? How is it formatted? When a meter is full, the CPU or the disk has reached the limit of its processing capability.
System overload alerts can appear when any of these meters peak. You can use this information to make adjustments to your project or your system configuration. If you’re recording audio and not software instruments, you can monitor your audio directly from the source.
If your project doesn’t include automation, or the automation doesn’t need to be sample accurate, you can reduce the CPU load by turning off Sample Accurate Automation. If your project does include automation, choose the option that includes only the parameters you’re automating. Projects with higher sample rates create larger audio files, which can increase the load on the CPU and disk.
Plug-ins also require more CPU power to process audio files at higher sample rates. When choosing the sample rate for your project, balance the considerations of audio quality, the anticipated format of the final product, and the performance of your Mac. If disk activity is causing system overload alerts, try choosing lower sample rates for your projects. When using CPU-intensive effect plug-ins such as reverbs and delays, you can reduce the load on the CPU by using send effects. Send effects let you use a single plug-in to process signals from multiple channels.
Dec 6, PM. Not sure if any of these can cause conflicts but if they are running in the background especially compressed memory I can see how it might be a problem for the type of recording you’re doing. I do location recording as well but still use an old Acer XP laptop, between tracks.

Would I be able to upload a project that often gives me playback problems with tracks unfrozen and see how it runs on your work iMac triplets?
Since you seem to have a system very close to mine. Hi and to chime in, I believe that Eric is right about the lacie, and it doing to sleep, there are technical things you can do to adjust this, I would suggest, first if there are any drivers update them, if there is any firmware for the drive update it.
Speak to lacie ask them if there is any way you can use a hdparams style of app too to adjust the sleep time. Also and concurrently, load the project and resave it, making all the audio a part of the project. The reason is you want to load the project on the local disk drive and also the lacie. Test each one out while you have the “Activity Monitor” app, open and on the disc tab, what is using all the disc activity, is it logic or is it something else. Try doing the same thing on the lacie too.
Also check you ‘energy’ preferences, is it set to put the disk’s to sleep? To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question. I updated two days ago to Logic X and I am still having the same problem. I recently formatted my computer. In other words, I’m not using too much memory of my HD. My Memory Ram is 8GB.

Jul 27, PM in response to swb In response to swb The question is : I never had this problem before when I was using Logic 9 even saving my projects in my internal HD and.
Two weeks ago the problem started still using Logic 9I thought probably was the Logic 9 and that was the reason I decided to updated to Logic X now I have Logic X and I have the same problem. Jul 27, PM. A week before logic X comes out it starts bugging out Im running 2. Aug 13, PM. Aug 13, PM in response to dandotcraig In response to dandotcraig. Umm, no offence LP9 was working fine and then stopped working normally according to you.
Therefore what changed at the time LP9 stopped working normally? If you did, did you then restore from a backup you made prior to these problems occuring and what happened when you did so? Did you start recording or creating music in a different way to how you used to before the problem started?
Have you started using a different SI or FX plugin or plugins. More or different FX for example. Did you install a new version of a plugin? Is all your software legal?
Have to ask because some people install all kinds of illegal plugins and whatever else. Have you looked at the System logs to see if anything is happening out of the ordinary when you get dism messages? Have you looked at OS Systek Activity monitor to see if any app or routine is kicking in hard when you get this issue? Basically, you need to think about and look for what changed I believe i solved my problem Logic only runs in 64bit I probley changed it around the sysrem time i started getting problems because some plugs run better in 32 over 64 cyberlink powerdirector 9 free maschine.
I might start checking all the other plugs to see if I can make apprentice book review free change. Iv never really taken much notice of my CPU usage Im guessing this is normal?
Also any advise on harddrive setup I’ve done this for years btw. The option IS available in disk utility all you have to do is hold down logiic of the modifier keys for it to appear in the logic pro x disk too slow or system overload free. I forget.
