DMXIS 1.5.4 with Logic X - getting "System Overload" message

Post by sachadunable »

I'm having an issue on a mac, getting "System Overload or Disk Too Slow" message, which causes the show to stop. Anyone ever have this issue?

I am running DMXIS 1.5.4 in a midi track on Logic X in El Capitan. I have 16gb RAM. My session has only a few tracks, but it is about 45 minutes long.

I am programming a show for a tour that starts in two weeks, so I am kind of freaking out here! Please help?

Does the overload message always appear at the same point in the song e.g. when switching a DMXIS bank or preset?

Have you had a look at OS X Activity Monitor (Under Applications/Utilities) to see if anything is pulling too much CPU or memory when the overload message appears?

Does increasing the audio buffer size in Logic help?

the overload message has happened in the same place in a song once or twice that I've noticed I think. is that a symptom of something I should address?

I will try the audio buffer size, is that something that should help?

and I will look at the CPU/Memory when I am with the equipment again.
