in my main patch(and i think in that patch only) the process syslogd is taking up to 102% of my cpu usage when i turn audio on. when i look into console i get the following messages:

14-05-09 12:55:08 macbook-pro-van-younes-riad [0x0-0x18018].com.cycling74.MaxMSP[226] [0x0-0x18018].com.cycling74.MaxMSP 226 com.apple.console Notice vst_audiomaster 7

these messages repeat like 200 times in console.

i have exactly the same problem - with syslog creating tens of thousands of log files - a log file of over 1 gig size in around an hours use (see my recent post here

Looks like this problem was introduced in version 5.0.7. If you want a workaround the vst~ from 5.0.6 will probably work for you. You can grab the older installer here:

Here is a version of vst~ which should fix the console messages. Let me know if it doesn't solve the problem.

thanks, the problem seems to be fixed. i just replaced my old vst~ object with this new one.

thanks a lot ! you save my concert of tonight !

it seems working the file system.log is calm now...

Thanx, this has been a major concern for me since it has rendered (...) my MBP as good as useless for live performance. I suppose this will be sorted out in Max 5.0.8?

Yes. Sorry for inconvenience, in the meantime the version posted by Ben fixed the issue.
