OK I think Jules and I may have a solution to this problem. It is related to the [laggy repainting bug since OS X El Capitan](https://forum.juce.com/t/laggy-guis-on-osx-el-capitan/15717/1). Apple seems to have changed something in their repainting code since El Capitan which makes redraws extremely laggy if you post a lot of `setNeedsDisplay`s. The same bug is affecting Logic: you can clearly see how the GUI struggles to keep up when moving a JUCE slider. In addition, and more worryingly, Logic seems to be time-stamping and recording parameter events on the UI thread - and therefore the laggy UI seems to affect the timestamps of the recorded parameter changes. Please let me know if the recent change on develop fixes this bug. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.juce.com/t/steppy-automation-recording-on-osx/18308)._
