Logic Pro performance issues

[Wando64]

Hi all, I use a M1 Mini with 16gb RAM as my studio computer and I've never had any performance issue until recently.
My workflow is mainly to record acoustic and/or midi instruments, and my set-up works extremely well for that, including when I have many tracks and multiple effects. However, on one of my recent projects I found useful to have use one of the stock multi channel kits (I don't think I used a session player, but I think I've encountered similar problems with that too) and all of a sudden my Mac is on its knees, stuttering, running out of memory, maxing CPU, the lot. Complete mayhem.
I haven't yet explored this on other forums as I thought I ask here first. As far as you know is this a know bug, or are these drum setups so extremely demanding to require am M5 with 64gb just to run a simple drum track?

Thanks

I could guess at what you're describing there and try to duplicate the situation but if I think details are needed…macOS version, LP version and perhaps a sample project that suffers from the problem you're having.

Hi, thank you for your interest in trying to help.
I am running Sequoia 15.7.7 on a 16gb RAM M1 Mini, with plenty of on board storage space.
The Logic version is 12.3 6674

I an not able to share the working projects of yet unreleased music, but when I find some time I can attempt to recreate the problem on a test project.

My default settings are as follows:
Buffering: 512
Threads: Automatic
Range: Large
Multithreading: Playback
Summing: High Precision

I am experiencing issues ONLY with the multichannel kits, and perhaps with the session players (which I don't really use anyway).

Thank you.
