The difference with a new MacBook pro

Hey peeps
I have a 2010 MacBook Pro 17inch 2.66 i7 with 8 Gb ram.
I'm at a stage where I am using a lot of plugins and logic just keeps giving me that ty little error. The audio engine cannot process data in time...
If I buy a new MacBook Pro (when they come out) with 3.7gh 16 gb ram with flash storage do you think I will see a noticeable difference in speed?
I'm guess I will have to run in 64 bit and logic x supports that and most plugins are 64 bit now... I mostly use nexus, ozone stuff, waves, sylenth and massive.
Any reason not to upgrade the comp, logic and plugins?
I wanna be sure because the upgraded MBP will be pretty spennos! (Aussie slang for expensive) |

| Maths alone suggests a fairly decent performance hike. Sylenth isn't 64bit on OSX though, although you can have Logic 9 and X installed at the same time. |

youre really hitting the brick wall with this thing? what sample rate and IO buffer are you working in? |
|

| Ozone per channel may well be the problem. |

Amen. That, and any Arturia plugin, using individual inserts instead of send groups for FX, and a /onboard sound card. |

Yeah hahaha my latest project is almost finished but I cant do a proper mix down because it keeps stopping
I do use ozone on a lot of channels.
funny thing I read last night to change my sample rate and buffer size so its 1024 and buffer range is large.
is that the best ?
so naturally I would get a pretty solid increase in CPU and wouldnt have this issue if I upgrade??? |

well yeah
you could also freeze tracks
2 useful things you might want to try before just throwing money at a problem and hoping it goes away
EDIT: btw, you could buy an absolute top of the line machine and still run into this same issue thanks to logic's core load distribution problem |

| Ozone is a high CPU use plugin that's designed to go on the master channel, or maybe a bus or two. |
