Latency issues with Logic

paulrmartin · Post by **paulrmartin** » Fri May 17, 2002 7:54 am

I find myself with a lot of ASIO overflow errors when running many Audio tracks in Logic during final mixdowns. One way I have found to deal with this problem is to set my ULLI settings to the highest latency in Pulsar.

Does anyone have another solution?
I believe all my driver settings in Logic are optimal...

(Edit)
Maybe I should list my gear:

P III 933Mhz
512M of RAM
ASUS CUSL-2C MOBO i815 chipset
Win 98se(tweaked with help from the optimisation tips listed on this forum)
Pulsar2 (SFP)

Do you have i815 chipset/IDE drivers installed?

Do you have DMA enabled or Intel Application Accelerator installed?

What speed is your harddisk?

How many channels are you able to play before you get clicks?

For reference, on the exact same system - CUSL2/933mhz, Pulsar1 card, I was able to run 38 channels, with room to spare, at 13ms. When I added a Luna2 card, I could run the whole thing at 7ms. With Logic.

Also what version of Logic are you using?

And what samplerate/bitdepth?

Sorry about not listing my drives.
18 Gig SCSI HD, 10,000 RPM
60 Gig IDE drive used only to store samples.

I run Logic 5.1.2 now.

I don't get clicks, I get a full-stop and the overflow error window popping up.

Perhaps I need more SHARC's...

Subhuman, Judging from what you wrote in your first answer, I'm not that far off. I am running a comparable number of tracks. And they DO run at 13ms. I am just trying to see if there is a way around having to change the latency. Maybe I'm just lazy...

I don't get it... I had the dropout problem on my p2-400mhz 128mb ramm And now I STILL have it even though I running p4-1.7ghz 512mb ram. all I have to do to get dropouts is to play some midi in logic. no waves beeing played from the HD nor did I have any plugins activated.??? and that's with the low (read: slow) ULLI setting. what's going on here?

i don't have those probs w/ 4.81.......
i do have a pulsar1 so 13ms is the lowest latency i can use.i did have an 850mhz athlon which is now upgraded to a 1.8 gig p4. when i had the athlon, asio overflow was more likely,but it took 25 or more tracks and heavy native plug usage.(4 or more plugs avg per track and 5-7 busses w/ 2-3 plugs avg)since v3.0 and the p4,(about the same time)1-2 instances.since sfp,not once.

Tracks loaded previously seems to be retained in memory so it would appear to Logic that it is still handling all those tracks with various effects etc added up. A reboot is necessary to clear it up. I upgraded my sys and was getting some asio.
That was my remedy.
