Topic: NEW Usb Driver version 3.18 for UFX causes Cpu overload

Hi, thanks in advance.
I've just updated the Ufx Usb driver version 3.18 and I'm having problems with the CPU.
Logic X 10.4.6

The description does not contain any detail that helps to understand what exactly you see as a problem.

Yes, sorry about that, I'm unable to work with my logic project as I get the cpu overload message constantly.
Thanks...

If you think that this is caused by the driver (which I doubt) then simply install the former one again...

Who gives an overload message ? The DAW ?
Do you have a screenshot ?

What Mac OSX version do you have ?

Try increasing the Buffer Size in Logic.
Does it happen in an empty Logic project?

Yes it happens in a project with 40 tracks, and in a project with 8 tracks also.
Its very strange.

The4 buffer size is at the maximum possible 1024.

Re: NEW Usb Driver version 3.18 for UFX causes Cpu overload

You say with a project of 8 tracks as well.
Simply the tracks alone (no vsts, effects ..) cause this ?

Which Apple / HW are you using ? CPU, DRAM, SSD or HD ?

How is the CPU load when you get this message ?
How much memory is being used / how much is free (is the machine swapping or paging) ?

Are there other applications running in parallel ?

You could open smth like a process manager / list to look
- what processes are running
- how much CPU / memory they need
- how much % of CPU resources are free ...
