Logic Pro X audio cuts out on playback, bounce, recording after upgrade to Sonoma

Having issues after upgrading to Sonoma. Whenever I play a project that has about 50 tracks, the audio just cuts out for no reason during playback, recording, bouncing. Goes silent with a little click. Never had this issue before, even with as much or more tracks. Projects with smaller track numbers (5-10) do not have this issue.

I've tried disabling all plugins, freezing multiple tracks still doesn't affect the 50 track project audio cutout issue, this sucks please help!

Specs: Mac Studio 2022 with Apple M1 Max chip, 64 GB ram, general settings applied, 256 buffer size (tried changing)

This is unacceptable Apple. Just bought a brand new Mac Studio and it's completely worthless to use for Logic Pro. I play my tracks and every couple of seconds the audio is cutting out. This should of never passed the QA process.

Apple released a Logic Pro update & ironically, the Pitch Correction plug-in received a huge update a well as a few other new features. Hopefully, everyone gets back to creating without issues–Cheers!!

I can't be sure if this is the actual fix for everyone since this still happened to me with the latest version of Sonoma and Logic Pro 11, but check your license status for any purchased plugins/instruments you use. For me, it was my installation of Ozone 9 Elements. I registered it again and the audio drop-outs stopped. It makes sense for something like this that does mastering since they's need a way to control unlicensed installations.

Hey guys, OK I had the same problem. Also on Sonoma, on a Macbook Pro M3, Logic Pro 11. This issues happened on old sessions that I had to re-open for remix purposes. News sessions weren't concerned. After reading your comments I tried to de-activate Ozone 9 on my old session Mix Bus. The problem disappeared. So I guessed that the problem is linked to Izotope and Sonoma. I then tried to use Ozone 10 (I did the upgrade after having bought the M3). And it worked just fine! So, I had to remaster my session with Ozone 10, but at last, everything plays smoothly now! What a relief! Now let's get back to work!

I also just bought a new Mac Studio and having the same issue. I did not have the same issue on my old iMac Pro. Both machines are running macOS 15.0.1. My project only has 13 tracks and I'm not using that many plugins. This was a piece of cake for the iMac Pro, but not so with the Mac Studio.

This Mac Studio was supposed to be a (VERY EXPENSIVE) upgrade and I feel completely robbed.

For reference, I'm on a M2 Mac Mini.

There’s a reason I am still on 10.5 and Mojave … it works for me! Lol. I know though not possible with newer machines.

Thanks a lot for your contribution, my gosh... I hope they solve it, unfortunately, I already updated to Sonoma, and so now I think that's the issue :-(
