MIDI problem - notes don't play sometimes

Hello, Im having a problem with MIDI drums on my Logic Pro (trial for now). When I put MIDI drums (BFD player) and play whole project, sometimes MIDI misses the note. For example (on the picture) I have a long line of snare playing an increasing but almost every time there is some note that is missing in my ears, but MIDI note is there in the map. Usually when kick drum hits. Can you please help me, what am I doing wrong? Thank you.

MacBook Air 15″, macOS 15.3

Thank you guys, I've tried everything, but problem still remains. But I've just tried "bulit-in" plugin called East Bay and there is no problem, so I guess this plugin I'm using (BFD player) is the bad guy here...

80% of D.A.W problems are caused by 20% of plug-ins.

Are any of your notes overlapping? This project may just be corrupted. Please try on a brand new session.

You can import your existing session to a new session as well.

Hope that helps,

Thank you for your reply. No, notes aren't overlapping. Can this be happening by a lack of storage? I just discovered I have only 5GB left of my storage, cause I accidentally used MacBook storage instead of my external disk for installing libraries of Logic.

I'm gonna also try new session. Thanks for help I'm gonna update the situation after this solution. Hope this helps.

Although I don't think your issue is caused of the lack of free space on your drive, it's really dangerous not to have sufficient free space on your drive(s). You risk to corrupt your files and risk not to be able to move data to another hard drive. It's recommended to have at least 10% free/unused disk space.

Concerning your dropouts:

• Did you try a restart of your computer?

• Try another plugin to hear if the issue is caused by Logic or the plugin itself.
