Logic Pro X 10.7.4 horrible on a 10 core iMac Pro with 32gb ram

Logic Pro M1 (Pro & Max) Benchmarks - Music-Prod.com

Here is the Logic Pro X Benchmark project file to use. Just download it, run it and see how many tracks you can get to play.

I used this benchmark and only got around 125 tracks, with all these settings. My iMac Pro is expected to get around 170+ tracks at least, and I think the upgrade to logic 10.7.4 killed it's performance.

A lot of the old projects I have won't play well and are often slow now.

Is there anyone else with similar problems to this?

Have to say i haven't experienced this.
Though I think there's going to be an unstoppable trend, which looks to have already started from your experience, where each successive new version of Logic runs best on M-series chips but on intel chips as an afterthought.
Hopefully you kept an older version of Logic to go back to, like Apple advises, or you have a Time Machine backup to restore from.

It runs horribly on my 16-inch MacBook Pro with M1 Pro also..

My 100+ track projects run even better on my old 15-inch from 2017 running Mojave.

I wonder if this is a case of successive OS's just eating up more system resources.

Put your hand up if you have owned a Mac more than five years and it felt as fast and as snappy after three-or-more OS upgrades as it did when it was new. My hand is firmly down.

I agree but it in this case it isn’t. Running the same project through v10.5.1 on my new 16-inch MacBook Pro works absolutely fine, even though this version of Logic isn’t officially supported on M1.

I in this test ran 457 tracks. At 458 it stopped.

My dense projects from 2017 i7 iMac have a hard time playing on my new M1 max MBPro with 64Ram.
Either 10.7 or OS is the problem but I am hopeful for an update this week after Ventura. Its been 6 montha since the last bug fix and 1 year since the 10.7 update

Yeah, I‘m almost certain it‘s the OS version that‘s the problem, not the hardware.

...

Ventura

Ventura

And what device? How much ram, etc.

If only Snow Leopard was native on M1 mac. Just gimme security updates. It was "perfect enough".

Wait, is that like a hackintosh or something?

Im guessing we'll see a Logic 10.8 next week amongst all the other releases. It's been 5 months since the last update and im sure there are plenty of fixes and optimizations ready.
Im particularly interested in them fixing and optimizing "AUHostingCompatibilityService" - the Audio Unit service they separated out and Sandboxed for the M1 version of Logic. That totally broke ARA (Ceremony Melodyne state they are waiting for Apple to fix) and causes a lot of instability for other plugins as well, such as Kontakt.

So yeah, fingers crossed we get more general performance improvements to go along with the bug fixes.

Sooo…. 10.8 is not out, right? But what about Ventura? Do people have a better experience with it while using Logic? It just came out.

Been running Ventura and Logic since Ventura beta. Hold back if you’re mid project or about to start one. Lots of 3rd party software having issues with it still.
