Bias AMP 2 super unresponsive GUI
-
Hi,
as I'm not satisfied with the Logic pro integrated amp solution, thus I tested the AMP 2 demo. After I overcame the installation issues (plugin not in the user directory), I could select the Bias AMP in Logic, but:
It responds totally laggy, any click in the GUI is responded with a delay of several seconds (5-10s). The sounds itself is not delayed. And it sounds really great, if I could overcome this issue I'd purchase it.
My equipment:
Mac Pro 2013 12-core w/ 64GB RAM and 2TB NVME
MacOS 10.15.4
Blackmagic eGPU
LG Ultrafine 5kI tried different interfaces and different sampling rates, sound is always fine, but configuring it makes me crazy. CPU load of the first thread of the first CPU is 45%, overall 95% of the system is idle. RAM load is also below 16GB
Your advice is highly appreciated !

Nobody any similar experience?
Also the Positive Grid support didn't answer since last week. Disappointing...

@christof-maluck I can tell you I have actually seen quite a few reports about these issues here so for sure they are aware of it and I suspect still working it out, along with many other things they are trying to handle
For me I have not had this experience in Logic Audio but I use a laptop with an NVIDIA card 2 GB (2013) and an old non high res monitor - maybe try some different settings on your graphics or monitor?
good luck

@tafkad : Thanks a lot for your comment!
Well, in regards to Graphics there's not too much to configure. But if a system with 3 GPUs, 12 CPUs and 64GB RAM can't handle the plugin, there's definitively something strange.
We started recording now, I guess we stay with real amps as before. The response of the support team seems to be as quick as the GUI :-) Obviously no solution for us... -
Is your graphics resolution on Default for display? I have a 2012 MacPro 2 x 3.46 GHz w/40Gb of Ram and Radeon RX 580 8GB Graphics card. Both Bias FX2 and Bias Amp2's interfaces were very slow in response. I realized that when I put my graphics card to default for display, both FX2 and Amp2 worked smoothly. This seems to be common on other products such as Line 6 Native also.
