Hi all. This is my first post here, but I'm hoping to stay for longer. For a bit of a TL;DR I am having performance issues with Logic on a decent Macbook pro, can't record using amp sims as it stutters, glitches, stops and then goes back to the beginnig of a bar.
Now for more details, last year I bought a 2017 Macbook Pro 13" (i7, 16gb, 512 ssd) and UAD Apollo Twin Duo to replace my old and trusty Mac Mini 2012 (i7, 16gb, ssd) and Focusrite Scarlett interface. Since then I am no longer able to make music like I used to as it seems my mac can no longer handle Logic. On my Mini I was running bigger projects that were easily over 100 tracks (10-20 amp sims, tons of synths, vocals and drums with processing on them etc) and still be able to add more guitar tracks and record (or jam). Currently Logic is struggling A LOT with Logic Drummer and couple of guitar tracks. It is damn near impossible to double track guitar as it glitches, stops and goes back to the beginnig of a bar/sequence. It is very strange as having 4 tracks in a project should not be an overkill.
I obviously tried to do research, update OS, drivers, Logic etc. Not long ago I decided to wipe my mac, install everything from scratch (not a restore), update to Catalina (as UAD says it's ok to do so), install all latest updates etc and... nothing changed. Logic behaves exactly the same.
Here's a link to a short video showing the issue during playback. Same thing happens when recording.
