Logic Pro screen freeze in play mode

Hello everyone.

Recently bought a M1 Macbook Air specifically so as to upgrade to Logic 10.6.1

Having installed I find that the playhead moves for a couple of seconds and then stops, even though Logic continues play the sequence and ouput audio.

Closer inspection reveals that meters also freeze at the same moment.

Clicking almost anywhere on Logic unfreezes the display momentarily, but it locks up again a few seconds later.

I've updated OS, to 11.2.3; and followed all the suggestions on the support page - including binning and then reinstalling Logic.

I'd be very grateful if anyone could give me some kind of lead to follow here.

Thanks in advance

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

This seems to have resolved the issue. Logic has thrown away the offending plug ins and seems happy to run on my mac.

I thought that Logoc ran natively in Big Sur.

In any case it's running now, and I can get my work done!

Big thank you to you Eddie.
