![]() ![]() How to Optimize Live's Audio Preferences for Apple Silicon vs. Where available, use native Apple Silicon builds of plugins.įor more advice consider the following techniques to reduce the CPU usage of devices and plug-ins, and other best practices, with additional recommendations in our Learn Live 11: Computer Performance video tutorial. In addition, we recommend updating to the latest macOS and Live version. Note: For optimal performance, it is important to ensure that all third-party plug-ins, as well as hardware drivers, are always updated to their latest versions. M1 chips) performs differently from previous generation Macs with Intel processors.ĭue to these fundamental differences, Live's Audio Preferences should be configured with these differences in mind to reduce the CPU load. The Central Processing Unit (CPU) of Apple computers with Apple Silicon Processors (e.g. He's particularly active in the iOS audio/music app community, but the same principles apply.Reducing the CPU Load on an Apple Silicon Mac There's a great article on the subject from audio dev Michael Tyson: But if someone tramples all over it with some blocking process, well, it's pretty helpless to do anything about it. CoreAudio itself is pretty rock solid, and has been for 20+ years. That would be a similar issue-something is allowing this network-based process to muck with the audio thread. I think somebody in this thread mentioned that as soon as they got an iMessage, audio went for a crap. ![]() It doesn't have to have anything to do with CoreAudio causing an issue, or any audio app. Any dev mistake that messes with the audio thread will crap on any running audio, all in one go. The dropout I had this morning occurred exactly when I opened up a link from an email-somehow that process impacted the audio thread, which is definitely a "no no". I just think it's unlikely that it's in CoreAudio itself, but rather that somebody relatively recently did something dumb while adding some "feature", and that feature somehow got tangled up in the audio thread. I’m still waiting for the other one to get here, but these run on USBC, and unfortunately cannot be daisy chained, and I have no idea how I’m going to clock them when they only have word clock out. And went out and bought two focusrite claret 8 pre+. ![]() So I said to myself, I don’t want to spend more money but I’m gonna try this is an experiment. No problems whatsoever tracking 13 drum mics, live guitar, live bass live vocals, All with multiple plug-ins running. On my brand new Mac book pro, 14 inch 64 gigs of RAM, 6 TB hard drive, absolutely no reason whatsoever, for any kind of latency issues, or cracking or popping.Īfter reading down in this group, I noticed, that others were having issues playing back YouTube audio, or Apple music audio, and I further solidified my idea, that it was definitely an issue with core audio. up until two weeks ago, I had eight month old pre-Sonus quantums, running on thunderbolt two. It also has to do probably, with the software that some of us are using, for plug-ins, for interfaces etc. So again, it's looking like the OS, not Logic in particular.Īs I’ve said before, I firmly believe that it’s in Coral audio. Also, there's at least one user here having problems in Ableton. With audio it can be (and often is) a very small detail that causes these kinds of horrific sounding issues-the actual issue isn't necessarily a big thing at all (and probably it isn't, which is why it snuck through in this kind of bug).īesides, a whole new codebase for Logic would take years, so let's hope it's not that serious. Once that's sorted out, it will run as well as it ran before-and then some, of course, on new hardware. Anything messing with the audio thread will cause this kind of behaviour. It's not hard to imagine Logic pushing on that same bugginess more dramatically than Apple Music.Īs for Logic needing a whole new code base, I definitely don't think it's anywhere near that dramatic. But having audio glitches when loading a website, and without any dedicated audio software running, definitely suggests there's an issue with audio at the system level. There could be some new system-level process management to do with Spatial Audio, for example, that's causing buggy behaviour in certain cases, even without Monterey in the picture. Well, though I have noticed some Big Sur users having troubles with Logic 10.7.x, I don't think Logic itself is broken in any deep way.
