Hello all,
I’m posting here in hope to sort out an issue I’ve been having with my new mac studio.
I’ve got the mac studio ultra - 64gb - 1TB.
All in all the system runs very smooth, however I have noticed a few issues today when working on an ongoing project.
I’m running on Monterey, with a Universal Audio Apollo x6. Recording at 48k, into logic pro 10.7.4.
I’ve got my buffer at 128, multithreaded selected as all cores (I’ve tried using automatic as well as selecting just the high performance cores but I see no difference as far as the audio dropouts). I’ve got playback and live tracks selected (have tried just playback but again haven’t noticed much of a difference) and I’ve got the large setting for process buffer range, again I’ve tried them at small and medium setting but not a clear difference as far as audio issues being resolved.
I’ve also got 4 SSDs connected to the usb A on the back of the studio. Running through a sabrent ssd bay.
My main issues are as follow :
A. I get a fair amount of intermittent crackles and pops in Logic - I’m only using maybe 12-15 tracks, and none of them are pushing the cpu heavily at all. I’m talking maybe 25% max, on any core. Ram has at least 40gb free.
I’m usually running composer cloud Hollywood Opus, Spitfire BBC, and Kontakt.
One of the strangest issues is if I run under Rosetta - running the exact same session, all of the pops and crackles go away and the cpu meters in Logic are halfway minimized.
I’ve been doing extensive testing with AU and I cannot seem to find out what the cause is here. All of my plugins that I use in session are currently native compatible, I even used pluginfo and temporarily removed every non native plugin from my component folder - yet still, I get pops and crackles intermittently where as running in Rosetta I do not. Very perplexing and frustrating on a machine that cost me nearly 5k…
Basically the CPU is clearly being hit way harder depending on the session.
Here are two videos showing Rosetta vs Native running the same session.

Any help whatsoever would be extremely appreciated!
