Default to delete? Where is the Logic in that?

I am just finishing a long session with very little to
show for it. This is the second time I have had this
happen. It happens when I have been working a few
hours in Logic. My song file gets corrupt and my midi
signal starts to have no effect on any audio instruments.
I can see that I am getting a signal in the transport window
but the instruments in Logic just ignore it. So I copy and paste
everything into a new autoload and get everything situated
and continue on. I was working for about another 40 minutes
when I decided to call it quits for the night. Up until this point
I had been saving my work every 10 minutes or when ever I
had a take I wanted to keep. Well I was getting tired and had
not saved the song since copy and pasting in into the new
autoload. So as I was quiting I did what I usually do which is
command Q and hit enter.
Now normally this would save your work but if you do not
save a new song, Logic puts "delete" into that defaut button
instead of save. So when you hit the combination that will quit
and save your work 98% of the time, this time it deletes it. I am
just frustrated because I lost some good stuff and wish
the program did not make a switch which plays on a good habit
to delete material. I dont suppose there is a way to turn
this "feature" off? Probably not, but thanks for letting me vent.

Hi Phillip,
it looks like your preferences got corrupted or "stale".
Close whatever you are working on.
Write down all the information for you that you consider important in your Logic Preferences. Write it down.
Within Logic, go to > Logic Pro > Preferences... > Initialize all except key commands...
Do it!
Restart Logic.
Then you simply re-adjust your individual settings (which you previously wrote down) and your system should be running faultlessly.
Just one example covering the benefits of this procedure:
The loading time on my system for LP 7.1.1 was about 7 minutes!?
After performing the above task, re-entering my preferences and re-storing my Autoload, it takes about a minute and a half for LP to load now!
Cheers!

  • How to master audio file handling? Where is the logic of Logic?

    1. How can I master where to save my logic project files including audio?
    2. I want to save a project as a template WITHOUT the recorded track files. When I open the new template I dont want to have all old audio in my "media"browser inside Logic! How?
    3. I have one old project with a lot of audio of which only a few are used, yet when I try the cleanup function only a few are erased. Why?
    4. How to save a project so that ALL the files used are saved inside that project folder. In Protools and Cubase you can erase all material you  dont use.
    5. I want to have all my audio saved in ONE project folder but they end up scattered somewhere else, what to do?
    I can never get used to the apple/logic sense of file structure. Crazy! Where is the logic of Logic?  /Helpless to the logic of Logic 8

    Hi
    If I understand the problem correctly?
    jrm1 wrote:
    The possible issue concerns the start of the audio files.
    I recorded the tracks down to a stereo file, a region, that appears to start in the arrange at the correct point. But when you record, Logic includes some recording before the start of the region, before the Anchor, correct?
    This can depend on how you did the "record down to a stereo file".
    If you routed tracks to bus channels, then recorded the bus to another track, Logic will include the count-in in the audio file. As you say, the region in the Arrange will be correctly "trimmed".
    One solution would be to convert these bounced regions to new audio files (Audio Menu), another to use Bounce Region (or track) in Place.
    Alternatively, use a manually placed "2 pop" 2 seconds before the start of each cue.

  • ITunes: Where is the logic?

    Some files (two folders or equivalent of two "CDs") in my “iTunes U” folder in iTunes are syncing to my iPod both in “iTunes U” as well as “music” in my iPod. But the two “albums” are merged as if one long album (actually, they are related, but didn't expect them to "merge" on my iPod. But more annoying is that in “music” it is duplicated three times.
    Another “album” which I recently from iTunes store to “iTunes U” in iTunes is actually video. I sync it from “iTunes U” but when it reaches my iPod it is not under “iTunes U”, but instead it is under “videos”.
    Where is the logic?
    Also, please can anyone tell me how I can play files from an external drive or CD, or from a folder OTHER than the iTunes folder without actually importing them into the iTunes folder?
    thanks

    Oh, and whereas in iTunes the list on the top left is:
    Music
    Movies
    TV shows
    Podcasts
    iTunes U
    Books
    Radio
    when iTunes U reaches my iPod it can only be found under "playlists"

  • HT1766 If I restore my new iphone from my last backup will it delete all of the new things that i have on my phone

    If i restore my new iphone from my last backup will it delete all of the new content that I currently have on my phone? would it be better off to set it up as a new iphone? and if i set it up as a new iphone what will that do?

    If you restore from your last backup, it will replace what you now have on your phone. If you set it up as new, you will have a phone just out of the box without any of your data on it. You can download any apps again. You can sync your music through iTunes.

  • Where is the "firefox button" that is used to change tab location ("click on the Firefox button, go over to the Options... arrow and uncheck Tabs on Top. ")

    Where is the "firefox button" that is used to change tab location ("click on the Firefox button, go over to the Options... arrow and uncheck Tabs on Top. ") (from article).
    The "Tools" menu has an "Options" selection, but I cannot find in any of those menus a selection controlling the location of the tabs. Where is the "Firefox Button" referred to in the article "Why are tabs on Top?"

    If you turn on the classic menu bar, that replaces the orange Firefox button. To get the Firefox button back, right-click the menu bar to display the toolbars list, and uncheck Menu Bar.
    You can always temporarily display the classic menu bar by tapping the Alt key or pressing F10.
    The toolbar list pop-up also lets you control Tabs on Top.

    The new machine has Mavericks which is fine. And I will leave it as is. I don’t want anything from my old machine other than 2 apps that I will need on the new one. I want to be able to install those apps that I bought from the App Store onto my new computer. I assume Apple doesn’t want me to have the apps installed on 2 machines at the same time so I wonder if just uninstalling them from my old machine will release them for re-install on the new one.

  • I currently have OS X Leopard on a macbook. No where in the entire currently that I live stocks Snow Leopard in order to upgrade. So can anyone tell me how I am supposed to upgrade to Lion without access to Snow Leopard?  arrrrgg! Thanks

    I currently have OS X Leopard on a macbook. No where in the entire country that I live stocks Snow Leopard in order to upgrade. So can anyone tell me how I am supposed to upgrade to Lion without access to Snow Leopard first?  arrrrgg! Thanks

    If by "posted to you" you mean shipped, yes. Usually UPS or FedEx is used by Apple. Note that you may need to access the Online Store that's for your country. If you are not in the US then you cannot purchase it for shipment outside of the US. You can use this link to find the store that serves your country: Change Country. You will find it at the bottom of the Online Store page.

  • Where is the LOGIC folder ???

    Hi. I installed Logic 7 on my Dual 2.3 for the first time today . I have 2 hard drives , one just for audio , so the install went to my system drive. Under applications i can see the Logic Icon which opens the program. Where is the physical folder , i mean where r the EXS24 samples etc.
    Sorry its my first week with OSX.....
    I shall be upgrading to 7.1 soon , so i will need to delete all this before installing that wont i ??
    Thanks
    Faisal

    Hey Faisal,
    OSX, sorts all applications right down in the application folder. Asscociated folders and documents are sorted in a folder called Application Support.
    So your "Logic folder" is located here: system drive/library/Aplication Support
    You actually have another one here also: User(probably your name)/Library/Application Support
    This one is for your own saved patches etc.
    So the Factory Library to your Exs 24 are located in the first and your own will be located in the second, by default. You don't have to follow this though.
    You will not have to delete anything to run the updater, actually, you really shouldn't!

  • How can I delete places in the map app that came with the iphone5s

    I Was in the map app playing around and by mistake entered some places that I do not want. I've tried everything to delete them, but cannot find a way to clear them. I have even dropped a pin on one of the places and now I cannot remove the pin. I tried reporting a problem with the place that I dropped the pin and it reported it to Apple. The more things I try, the worse it gets! Please help me get rid of the places and the pins!!!!!!

    There is no X at the top of the box or any where on the page. The places I am talking about are navigational places and when I click on the red pin
    A red pin shows up when you have typed something into the search box at top. The red pin identifies the location of what the search results is.
    Clear the search box and the red pin will disappear

  • HT4859 What and where is the Camera Roll that Apple keeps referring to?  What is it for?  How and why would I use it?

    I haven't a clue.  I asked the question.

    Thanks.  I understand the initial concept that pictures I take are not on my device but on the camera roll.  Or in your language, they are on the device.  But after talking with able it seems I can roll the pictures around, from all the strange places that pictures might be sent to and returned from, including to the camera roll.  So at the moment i figure that it is a place where I can save pictures, return pictures, and save pictures.  Not albums, not photo stream, not recently recovered, not recently downloaded, just llike a camera, but I understand that I can return pictures to the camera if I want to save them or show them to anyone if my device is off line.  Thanks for trying to help.  It's way beyond my ken. 

  • IPad Air. The case. Where is the origin of that leather ?

    iPad Air. The new case.
    Where does the leather comes from ?
    What is the origin ?
    Which animal ?

    Cowhide,  I would imagine. Were it anything else (exotic) it would surely be advertised/marketed as such.
