Is this a typical experience when using an audio interface? Clearly I don't want to have to rely on the in-built out-put, and certainly not in-bulit input, but at the moment it seems that the only way I could use the Lexicon is by trying some of the other suggestions that have been made to reduce the load on the CPU.īefore I do anything more I would be very interested to hear if other interfaces are so processor hungry.

I have just downloaded and installed the most up to date driver and that has made no appreciable difference. For this comparison I simply played back the project (since the built in input is not really suitable for getting my guitar signal in), but even when just playing back the difference is very substantial. When I switch to "Built-in" in-put and out-put the demand on the CPI (desk top iMac by the way) is substantially reduced and I don't get the problem. I am using a brand new Lexicon I-ONIX U22. But starting with some of the first suggestions I have identified that the audio interface is indeed making a big difference to the demand on the processor.
I have not yet explored all of the suggestions. Thanks all, I appreciate the time you have all taken to provide some help. That's why freezing tracks to free up resources is good planning with anything less than a state of the art computer running the latest recording software. Five amp models and a midi drum set running at the same time from the same hard disk and CPU is a lot of stuff for a laptop to handle at once. Logic 9 is fairly processor and memory hungry. You can always unfreeze a track and work on it later if things need tweaking.ĭefinitely record to a separate firewire disk if you can afford one.

Even the midi drum track (if it comes from software on the computer) is trying to operate the drum samples and record to the same disk, at the same time.
It IS a good idea to record to a separate disk.
Track freezing is incredibly simple and fast in Logic. Amp modeling software is heavy on computer resources, so that's one thing that will free them up. Start by freezing the amp designer tracks. Track freezing in Logic is one of its best features. There is an incredibly simple fix to try, and it's built into the software.
