Logic 9.1.4 and Lion strangeness

Hi all...
After having my macpro for several years it was pretty loaded up with crap so I decide to wipe and install lion clean.  I succeeded in doing that and managed to get Logic 9.1.4 loaded, registered etc.  The only hassle I'm having is I use an Apogee Duet which is not currently compatible with Lion so I have not installed the drivers for that yet and I'm just using the standard core Audio.
Right now logic is in 32 bit mode.  Got all of my plug ins loaded and working.  Logic runs fine.  But if I have any plug-in or instrument window open when I try to hit the stop button on the transport bar instead of stopping I get a popup menu like I right clicked.  Sometimes it seems to take three or four clicks to stop Logic playing...
Anyone else?  Any suggestions?  I have a FaderPort I usually use for logic transport control but I'm reluctant to install its drivers until I know I have a Lion working set.

Thanks for the info, Oddgrooves.
Sadly, this hardly seems like a good solution on the part of Apple.  I actually still have an old G5 running Logic Pro 7 that I use in a separate space for some simple sound design stuff.  I still need that XS key to be here, or Logic will no longer run on that machine.  No, the preferred solution here is that Apple actually puts out an update that prods Lion to "remember" the XS key and deal with it properly.  Or, they update Logic Pro 9 to accept a Logic 8 upgrade serial as good enough for the Logic 9 upgrade to function.  Sending the physical XS key back to Apple isn't a viable workaround.  There are going to be literally thousands of Logic customers in the same boat we're in.  Is Apple going to require *all* of us to send in our XS keys and get serial numbers instead?
I'm holding out for a legitimate software fix.  This is pro software, Apple.  How about adding some pro support back into your shiny new OS?  Forcing your customers to mail in a dongle that you yourself created and required us all to use as of five years ago hardly seems like a professional solution.
So, in case anyone at Apple is actually reading this thread, here's a potentially much easier solution:  Make a small XS reader app that we can download.  It will only have one function in life:  To read the XS serial number off the XS key.  We insert the key, it gives us the number, and we can then either call Apple support and "trade in" the number for a newer, functioning serial number...or....enter the number onto a webpage somewhere that you'll create, which will "exchange" the XS serial for a working, current serial.  Yes, it would require minimal code support, but given the thousands of professional Logic Pro users out there who have stuck with the platform over the years, it seems worth it to me.
-OR-
Find another workaround here, so we don't have to go through this monkey business.

  • Logic 9.1.5 and Lion. Interface unresponsive.

    I'm experiencing a very strange issue with logic 9. The interface becomes unresponsive, I can't click on any buttons in plugin windows / transport bar / mixer page.... anywhere while the project is playing. The keyboard is equally unresponsive i.e. I can't stop with space bar etc. The clicks / keystrokes are being recognised by them system as after a while, usually about 5-10 seconds, the messages get throughout to logic. If a 'stop' message get though from the keyboard or transport bar stop button, as soon as the project stops... I can see all the clicks/keystrokes in the buffer all get executed at once in a bulk dump, which can be in the hundreds of commands if I get pareticulary frustrated. This is not a problem with overloading the audio engine. My quad core mac is only showing 1 or 2 notches of activity on all cores in logics system performance meter and activity monitor shows I'm only using %10 of available CPU. The rest of the system is unaffected. Safari / Mail etc work as usual. Closing any other open apps doesn't help. It happens on my MOTU ultralite [i]and[/i] Apogee Duet. It happens at [i]any[/i] I/O buffer setting and [i]any[/i] size reasonable size project. I have one open now with 15 tracks and about 20 or so plugins, my mac should barely even register this on the performance meter.
    Other users are reporting the same issues here and note the Logic 7's interface is near instantaneous on the same system.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2396951?start=0&tstart=0
    Anyone have any ideas?

    I was joking... sorry for my english
    anyway: I'm running a top of the line Imac, Mac Os 10.7.1 (that came preinstalled) and Logic 9.15. a full Apple rig... It's not unrealistic to expect a normal performance. IMO it's a little sub-par.
    Regarding Logic, the last thing I want is they make things "simpler"... It ussually means less options. If I'd want a simpler interface and less options I'd go with protools in a breeze as it's the de facto standard and it's a lot simpler.  If somebody wants even simpler things Garage Band is the way to go...not Logic.  Why people don't ask for a more complex GB instead of a simpler Logic?. The program has TONS of places to improve: PDC is a mess, there are LOTS of bugs, and I can think not less than 20 real improvements. None of them makes things simpler. IMHO it has to be professional, not "simpler". Playing piano is very simple, but it takes time and effort to master it.  I don't agree with this childist society thinking that everything has to be so simple that any ignorant can drive it. This is a professional tool for professionals, or it should be.
    That said, I also like the new features in Lion. Problem is: I use my machine for work not for some eye candy. If that were the case I'd buy an Ipad.

  • Does logic pro 8 work mountain lion?

    I've updated my Mac Xeon with Mountain Lion and now my Logic Pro 8 is giving me a midi conflict error. How can I fix this or does Logic Pro 8 even work Mountain LIon? Can anyone help me?

    I know.. I have both read and taken part in that thread but again....
    The majority of peopole who run Logic 9.1.8 and Lion or now Mountain Lion do not have those issues... and because they do not, they don't post in such threads.. so you get a distorted view of the true numbers of people with problems.
    Those that do have issues, will naturally post up in such threads... but that doesn't mean they are the majority of users... They are just the 'loudest' and quite rightly so.
    I will also say that for me personally, 10.6.8 and Logic 9.1.5/9.1.6 was and still is the most stable platform for Logic of all of the various combinations available... but apart from an annoying issue with the "airplay' dialog box that keeps popping up in 9.1.8 with ML... and the GUI lag affecting a few plugins.. I don't have any major issues with Logic and ML... so I can happily live and work with that setup...
    Finally, it's also worth noting that with my own client base.. initially with Lion and then Mountain Lion the number of clients who had problems was much higher.. Probably closer to 20-25% had issues..  but most of those issues were resolved by updates to incompatible drivers/3rd party plugins and so on...
    Once those kind of issues were resolved... as I said earlier, the number of my clients who still have major issues running uner Lion or ML with Logic Pro 9 has dropped to less than 5%... and to me, that respresents a minority of all users... like it or not.

    I
    got your message about making sure to use the machine specific disk that came with my machine. Unfortunately, Apple no longer sells Tiger replacement disks. I've got a couple of bids out on ebay, and will update when I have news to add to this post.
    Thank you for your help, Frank!
    To be clear you called the 800 number and explained what the situation was, old machine and lost the original DVD's?
    Just checking because if you just called and tried to buy the DVD's they might tell you they no longer sell them but you aren't really trying to buy them your trying to replace the ones that are missing.
    Ebay may work but there is a certain specificity to the DVD's required which, even if they seem right, might not work.
    Good luck either way. If you get a chance when you get the DVD's I'd be interested in hearing how it all works out.

    The installer for Logic Pro 8 has a bug which keeps it from operating in Lion or Mt. Lion.  Use the program Pacifist to install it.

  • How to update the BOX version of the Logic Pro 9 in Mountain Lion??

    Hi!
    How to update the BOX version of the Logic Pro 9 in Mountain Lion?
    For example,  if tomorrow will be new updates for Logic Pro for exapmle 9.1.8. (now I have 9.1.7) Will I not able to get it?? Now should I buy the second Logic pro??
    Recently I have got answer from App Store support:
    "Max, since you have not purchased the app in the App Store, you can't get updates directly in App Store. In this case, you will need to purchase the updated version in the App Store so you can get further updates."
    It's... I bought Logic Pro 9 + MainStage +  + +++ .... in the Apple Retail Store and what now?? Updates works perfect in Snow Leopard.
    I can't understand...
    Can you help me please? =)

    Max,
    Rest assurred, you will get updates via the App store. What will happen is when you install the box version, the Mac App Store will ping when there is an update to download(for free), much like any other Apple app(Garageband, iWork, etc) regardless of where you bought it from. If it's installed, it will check for updates.
    If the Mac App store doesn't show an update that you know is out, simply down it directly from support.apple.com and apply it.
    Hope this helps. If so, LIKE the post.

    Can i use Avid mbox pro with logic pro x? And also which mac would be best for using avid pro tools 11

    If your info is correct you need to first buy Snow Leopard from the Apple on-line store ($20) install and update to 10.6.8 and then buy Lion from the App Store for $20.

  • Logic Express 7.2 and Hypersonic 2

    When Logic Express comes up it checks for AU Units and has a problem with Hypersonic 2. Here's the report that the AU Validation Tool gives.
    http://www.digimixstudios.net/hypersonicerrorreport.txt
    If I tell Logic to go ahead and use Hypersonic as a AU Unit it still works.
    I went back to GarageBand 3 and Hypersonic has no problems.
    Anyone else run into this.
    MacMini   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    I have discovered one thing, after deleting preferences,etc.: it seems that everything start because my evolution USB keyboard is connected with usb to powerbook. I have tried also with another USB Edirol keyboard, and it's the same. Instead, if I connect the keyboard with MIDI the 1082 works again. Strange because: 1) before update, usb and firewire were connected and everything was fine, 2) now in the same usb port a guitar rig board is connected and the 1082 works as usual... ?!?!?!?!

    After downloading the new lion os x 10.7.2 with cloud and lion recovery update my internet doesnt work. I have tried 2 different networks that work for other people but not me. help?

    Logic's preference files may have become corrupted:
    1. Quit Logic Pro
    2. In the Finder, press and hold down the "option" key then select "Library" from the "Go" menu
    3. Open the "Preferences" folder
    4. Drag the following files to the Trash:
        - com.apple.logic.pro.cs
        - com.apple.logic.pro.LSSharedFileList.plist
        - com.apple.logic.pro.LSSharedFileList.plist.lockfile
        - com.apple.logic.pro.plist
        - com.apple.logic.pro.plist.lockfile
    These files will be re-created when Logic is next opened.

  • 3rd party plugins and Lion?

    Does anyone know if there are still 3rd party plugins that are not working with Logic 9 and Lion?
    Thanks,
    Cobb

    I don't think there is a comprehensive list anywhere of compatible plugins.
    You can however begin looking here:
    http://www.sweetwater.com/sweetcare/ts/detail.php?Index=33622
    and
    http://www.logic-users-group.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5203
    Best to check the manufacturers' websites for your important plugins, if they don't feature on these lists.

  • Logic Pro 9/OS X Lion - Upgrade

    Recently upgraded through the Mac App Store for both Logic Pro 9 & OS X Lion.
    Since upgrading, experiencing issues whilst performing a number of tasks in Logic.
    Firstly, upon launch of an existing project, I get a, "would u like to save new project option'' before windows for existing project open.
    This option has attached itself to all existing folders/project as if to say, u have launched a new project and then tried to open and existing folder without saving/closing.
    Combined w/ this. Have just tried to record Audio into Logic and for some unknown reason cannot get signal on Channel Strip/Master/Out-put.
    Has this happened to anyone else? Is this an instillation error?
    Global task bar both for Logic turns Gray upon launching of application. From what I recall, this has only began since updating to OS X lion.
    Is this cause for concern? Is this a CPU Issue? Operating off a Late 2008 Mac Pro, 2G Ram/ Upgraded to Logic Pro 9 from Logic Pro 8.
    Any help would be great,
    Cheers!

    Hi there lastditchstand!
    I have some information for you that I believe will help you get this content installed. The information can be found in the Logic Pro manual, which can be found right here:
    manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Logic_Studio_09_Installing_Your_Software.pdf
    Specifically, the information you are looking for starts on page 16:
    The Logic Studio installer includes a Custom Install pane where you can specify the applications and content to install. You can also configure the Custom Install pane to install only selected content items later if you choose not to install them with the applications.
    If you use the Logic Studio installer to install selected content items later, the process is the same as is described in “Installing Logic Studio,” except that you are not required to enter your serial number again.
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
    Regards,
    Braden

  • TS2565 Help me install Logic Studio Pro on OS Lion 10.7.3

    I am having an issue installing Logic Studio.  I have Lion 10.7.3 and when I click on the Logic Pro icon it says that you can not run on this OS.  It says Logic Pro is 9.1.1  I tried updating to 9.1.7 but then it says I need Logic 9.0 or higher.  Help!!!

    I also have this same problem. Can't install either Logic or FCP7 onto my Lion systems. I tried running under 32bit mode and the same luck. The problem with this is that it works when the software has been installed before the Lion os X upgrade, however if you make do a clean install of Lion then both Logic and FCP7 hang after putting in the serial number.... WHAT A PAIN as now I can't use either products!!!!

  • Logic 7.2.2 and G5 and other Power PC Macs??

    I think Logic users would like (and deserve) a clear statement from Apple regarding whether Logic 7.2.2 is recommended for Power PC Macs or not - -and what improvements or bug fixes - if any - it contains that are relevant to PowerPC machines. In the meantime, I suggest that forum participants with G4 or G5 Macs who have installed Logic 7.2.2 describe their experiences with this update. Thanks

    been testing on an intel mini mac (single core + 512ram) with motu 828 mk2.
    i know its not exactly a daw machine, but i'm testing things out before i upgrade to a new intel machine...
    so far i have had 2 crashes where i cant force quit. well i can but it dont do nothin'... first time i pressed restart in finder and computer froze during the procedure. second time i thought i'll try something different, so i pressed shut down in finder and it worked!
    the crash itself is strange cos i dont have time to do anything other than to click on file menu to load a track and glitch > spinning beach ball.
    i might try trashing the prefs later...
    other than that i have not really noticed much else. dunno about it sounding punchier/more bass, how come PDC would affect this?
    something to do with phase maybe...

  • Logic Pro 7.2 and Tascam FW-1884 Not Working

    I recently upgraded to Logic Pro 7.2 and I'm using a Tascam FW-1884 as my audio interface / Control Surface. Everything was working fine in 7.1.1, but now it doesn't work correctly. When I press buttons and faders on the Tascam I see MIDI information changing in Logic, but not in any of the correct places. When I click on the screen controls in Logic the Tascam does reflect the same on the board, but not the other way around? I updates the Tascam Plug-In (.bundle) file, the Control Panel, and even the Firmware. Still does not work. The faders go up on boot-up and down when I quit the program, but that is it. Any help would be greatly appreciated? I'm using a Mac G5, dual 2.7ghz processors, and 2.5 gigs in RAM. My gut is telling me it's something with the upgrade, but maybe others have resolved the problem without reprogramming every control one by one.

    Mr. Walden,
    I recently switched to Macintosh and am learning to use Garage Band. I have an 1884, as do you, and I plan to invest in Logic Express. Do you have any comments or suggestions concerning the marriage between Logic and the 1884?
