Logic freezes when trying to record 8th instrument.

Today is the LAST day I have to exchange my new iMac for a better one, and of course today is the first day I've had this problem.
The first section of my project has 7 tracks playing together, and they do so just fine without any problems.
When I moved onto the second section, I only needed to record one track with no other tracks playing at the same time. Regardless, the instant I hit the first note, Logic locked up and only played a scratchy electric sound non-stop, while the numbers 1,2,and 3 next to my first three tracks flash with a box.
I tried freezing all of the other tracks, so it only focuses on the one I am recording, but it didn't work. I tried changing instruments and that didn't work either. I checked my CPU and it never went above 40%.
Will upgrading to the next highest iMac make a difference? The processor speed is the same, the only difference is there is 4gb ram instead of 2. I will try calling Apple, but I just thought I'd post in the meantime. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Not sure what 'the numbers 1,2,and 3 next to my first three tracks flash with a box' means but it could be something to do with the solution if its the Mute or Solo buttons flashing.
If you go into the Mixer you might find a track that's been soloed or muted that isn't on the arrange page. That's all I can think of from what you've said.

  • Logic freezes when trying to record audio file

    I am using my Guitar RIg "Rig Kontrol" as an interface. I create a new audio track without opening with guitar rig. I prefer to add that on after to preserve processing power.
    The second I hit record, Logic freezes. Any ideas?

  • Logic crashes when trying to load exs24 factory sample

    I reinstalled OS X and Logic Pro (everything else except demo content DVD). Now Logic Pro crashes (freezes) when I'm trying to load an exs24 factory sample. Also, now I can't open my old projects that use those exs24 factory samples, Logic freezes when trying to load the project.
    I can't proceed with my work until this problem is fixed. Please help!
    I have installed the exact same Logic DVDs once before on this same laptop and the exs24 factory samples worked without any problems.
    My Specs: Macbook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, OS X 10.6.8, Logic 9.1.8
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    not sure if it helps or not, but just a small correction on this: My exs24 GarageBand samples work fine.
    And I guess the proper term what happens with factory samples is a hang crash..
    Cheers,

  • Freezes when I hit record (audio)

    When I have audio already on a track and hit record midway, it freezes. Strangely, I can start a new empty track and record audio from there, but if I try to cut in on a track midway with audio on it, it freezes. Using Logic 10.1.0, Mac OS 10.9.4 6 GB memory, plenty of room on disk, formatted Mac OS Extended. Using a Scarlett 18i8 interface, but it does the same thing when using Core Audio on the Mac. And no crash report will surface when I force quit. Have tried permissions repair to no avail. And tried removing all unused audio tracks from the Project Audio list, does not help.
    Anyone?

    Actually, there were not steps suggested (at least that I saw) for garageband freezing when I hit record. I read through all the links (and almost went blind) and and did a search on the site, maybe I missed it.
    If you have an answer to this probelem I would love to try any suggestions.
    Thanks

  • Apple Mail 10.5.2 freezes when trying to IMAP sync Apple To Do Items folder

    Hi - my Apple Mail freezes when trying to IMAP sync Apple To Do Items folder. This only started after Leopard 10.5.2.
    A copy of my console log is shown below. Looks like there is some calendar with a nil UID -- and the program has a bug that it can't handle this.
    Does anyone now how I get rid a nil UID (either an empty folder or an item with a null UID) to workaround this bug?

    It looks as if you've the problem discussed in this -> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4766577?tstart=0 (and other) threads.
    Basically the soldering on your GPU is defective and the GPU probably needs to be reballed: if you take it to Apple they will just want to replace the logic board. If you're still under AppleCare, or if they will replace it gratis, that may fix your problem temporarily. A reball may also be temporary, but it's less expensive and there are repair centers that offer up to a one-year warranty: much better than Apple's 90-day warranty.
    Have a look at the thread above: no need to read it all - just give it a glance and leave a message there if you wish.
    Good luck,

  • Creative Zen Vision 30Gb Stuck in Recovery Mode, Freezes when trying to deal with Firmware

    My Zen Vision is stuck in Recovery Mode. The PC recognizes it but it comes up as 50mb Storage Media. When you touch Reload Firmware or Format All, it freezes and you have to pull the battery out to shut it off. I don't know what to do. Charges fine, never said anything about HARDWARE issues, just can't get it to not freeze when trying to load firmware back onto it.

    I did the same thing, my unit was working perfectly.
    I just read that these players have a laptop 2.5 hard dri've installed in the unit. If this is true, the next chance I get, I will take my unit apart (40 gig nomad zen xtra) and see if I can reinstall the firmware directly. It's probably what they do at the repair sho

  • Ipod nano 5th generation freezes when trying to play a song or video

    Within the last couple of day my ipod nano 5th generation started freezing whenever i tryed to play a song. Oly way i could turn it off was by resetting it, however it did not fix the problem and still freezes whenever i try to play a song. I have even restored it to factory setting and it does the exact same thing. I don't understand why it does this, does anyone know why it freezes and won't stop? i don't have any warrenty on it and want to know if it is fixable, because it just randomly started freezing when trying to play music. If any one knows why it would be appriacted to know.

    Does this happen with any song or video you play?  If so, then my best guess would be a hardware issue since a restore to factory settings did not resolve it.

  • Firefox freezes when trying to upload or download a file. (Antivirus all disabled doesn't help). IE works fine. Happened with v3 and v4. Any clues?

    Firefox locks when trying to upload or download any file, size irrelevant.
    I've disabled firewall and all antivirus apps to no effect.
    This happens with v3 and v4.
    IE works fine.

    '''Addendum:''' The freeze is also happening at random even without opening Firefox, it has a chance of happening when I click something. My computer has frozen when I: 1- clicked the "reveal desktop" button to minimize all windows; 2- Attempted to close a tab in Chrome; 3- Clicked "play" in a Youtube video that had been loaded and waiting for some time). It will also almost always freeze when I leave it idle for more than about 10 minutes.
    But it will '''guaranteedly''' freeze when trying to open FF, which doesn't happen with any other program.
    I think my computer is breaking down. :(

  • Logic crashes when trying to save/quit or open in 10.6.8

    Logic crashes when trying to save/quit or open in 10.6.8 on Logic 9.1.4
    Done everything like repair permissions etc.
    Reinstalled both Logic and OS 10.6 (then updated to 10.6.8)
    Still doing it.
    Any advice guys?

    OK,
    I have installed logic 9.1.5 from the apple site and run that, still same problem.. so i have finally managed to get my hands on the logic 9 disc.. it says on the apple site to remove logic 9 from your mac, to simply drag the logic app to trash and reinstall. i did this with 10.6.0 installed and run it and still error. I then combo updated to .4 .6 and to .7 without updating logic still error.. Then i have combo updated to 10.6.8 still error.. finally i installed the 9.1.5 update direct from the site on 10.6.8 and that hasnt worked either..
    My question is, even though on the apple site it says to drop the app to the bin and reinstall, does this remove all necessary files? or do i have to do it manually and if so can someone tell me exactly what needs to go,before i try a proper reinstall.
    Thanks

  • TS1717 iTunes freezes when trying to import a CD

    Please help!
    My iTunes freezes when trying to import a CD
    This also happens in safe mode
    My driver is up to date

    We had the same issue. Backtracking, it turned out that it began after our techie updated our home network - for whatever reason, the main computer no longer holds the LAN settings properly after being restarted.
    It's an easy fix (until he gets back from the west coast and can fix it permanently): after I boot the computer each day, I open IE, go to "tools" - "internet options" - "connections" - "LAN settings" - check "automatically detect" and uncheck "use proxy server."
    Once I do that, CDDB comes up wonderfully and imports all the data I need.

  • Lightroom 2.6 freezes when trying to export images

    I have been using LR successfully on a Windows XP machine for several years and using version 2.6 for the past several weeks . As of a few days ago, LR would freeze when trying to export images. The export functions of 'Export with Previous' and 'Export with Preset' seem to work without crashing LR but most of my exporting needs me the ability to adjust the export settings. Any advise?

    I would guess LR only goes by drive-letter so if you've kept that the same it should be ok.  Look for something else.
    I would look in your Lightroom Preferences files to see if there is any drive letter that no longer exists.
    On Vista/Win7 my LR prefs file is in:
    C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences
    XP has something similar under C:\Documents and Settings\Local Settings (or Application Data)
    If you open that file in a simple text-editor like NotePad then about halfway down (at least in mine) there are some export-related things that include the drive-letter and path on your hard-drive to various folders.  You can find it by searching for:
    AgMRUPopupList_AgExport_destinationFolderPathPrefix
    Look through those and see if any of the drive-letters or paths are wrong and look around for other paths.  The paths will contain
    or
    instead of \ because the low-level language routines LR is written with need it that way so if you change anything, keep the number of slashes consistent.
    It could very well be that there is nothing wrong with any of the paths, so another approach would be to rename or move your preferences file to see if LR will recreate it with defaults for everything, and see if that clears up the lockups. 
    Whether you decided to edit or rename your preferences file, please make a backup copy so you can put it back in case something even worse happens and you need it back.
