Logic Pro 11.1.2 Session Instruments Slow Load

Studio Piano (Session Player) e.g. Logic Pro 11.1.2 takes minutes to load on opening a lean project file.

What I did to try to solve it:

Sound library is on SSD.
Reset all plug ins.
Reset the keychain.
64 GB RAM used to be more than enough for heavy projects.
Opening without plug ins: no difference.
Opening in different version of Logic Pro: no difference
Rebuild Spotlight: no difference.

What can I do more?

Mac mini, macOS 15.1

System Overload in Logic Hi I have a problem I cannot seem to fix with Logic Pro X For years I have intermittently gotten the message :- ‘System Overload’ ‘The audio engine was unable to process all required data in time.’ I have tried all the on-line suggestions regarding I/O buffer size Multithreading etc which frankly does nothing at all and couple of years ago I massivley increased my ram to 64 gigabytes but it had no effect either so I returned it. A couple of weeks ago I did more research into this and as a result I moved all of my instrumental libraries on to a Samsung T7 external ssd drive connected through the thunderbolt port of my 2017 iMac. I also moved all my logic projects onto a separate external hard drive so the only thing my iMac had to deal with internally was Logic itself. I though from what I had read up on that this was going to finally crack the problem. But it didn’t. Take my recent project for example. I have ten instruments loaded up but three of the tracks I have frozen. The remaining six are muted so I am only attempting to play some violins from ‘Sine Strings’ on one track. The moment the playhead hits the first note I get the message SYSTEM OVERLOAD. Which is really annoying. In fact I can actually play the strings if I start the playhead again and if they stop again I restart the playhead once more until finally I can play the whole track without any hitches. As this happens time and time again even with only a few instruments loaded or just one such as the EX sampler can anyone suggest anything that mght eliminate this problem. I really don’t know what else I can do. Looking forward to some advice BRIAN PATERSON.

Logic Pro crashes when loading file in quick sampler Hi everyone, Since yesterday, when I try to load an audio into the logic pro quick sampler, it stops working and freezes, forcing me to close it. This only happens with files on the external hard drive and only with the quick sampler.... with ultrabeat, for example, everything works perfectly. Can someone help me?

Logic pro issues monterey Hi! i just got a brand new macbook Pro on monterey and logic included in the purchase (so already installed when i got the computer) 10.7.4 two major problems (for now) the space bar is not play/pause , I tried to go to the keyboard settings , replace and re assign etc but nothing is working it often creates a new track instead what also seems to happen is that it selects the « windows » what I mean is that when I want to click on an instrument in the library on the left side of the screen, clicking just marks the whole library in a blue square and then I can’t navigate in it. Clicking in the library never works, I can only choose instruments with the ➡️⬇️ But it is extremely inconvenient if you have any ideas ! I got terribly frustrated cause it makes it impossible to work and everything is brand new 😭 thank you so much
