Logic freezing/unresponsive during recording?

This may sound dumb to experienced Mac usere, but sometimes we forget, and if memory is lost after a shutdown/powerup, the power & display settings return to factory defaults...
Check power & display System Preferences before recording:
Your PC or monitor may attempt to "Sleep" during recording - Set both to never sleep. Also, When the monitor goes off, then comes back on during recording, the PC will also have to redraw all the track info - While it is still recording...

It happened to me...

Logic crash following / during record

I am working through the tutorial in Logic Pro Training and Logic crashed 4 times in row recording one track with several takes. I sent report to Apple . How can i get help with this??
thx
Richard

Are you recording to an external drive? If so, most likely that drive is not formatted for Mac.
You can check it in Disk Utility by selecting the drive in the Disk Utility and looking at the format. If it says FAT-32 (or something like that), that's Windows format. It should say Mac OS Extended or Mac OS Extended (Journaled). If it doesn't you need to reformat for Mac, but it will erase your drive.

Logic with Reason rewire lagging during recording...

Hey everyone,
I've been working with Logic 8 rewired with reason 4, and have been having issues with logic whilst trying to record MIDI data through my controller. It will pick up uncomplicated, exactly on the beat things fine, but anything more complex that gets absolutely mangled on playback. I don't think it's the computer because I'm working off a brand new iMac in my school's music lab. Is there anything I can do?
The program really doesn't seem to be lagging "per se" because nothing actually slows down during input; it just seems like it's not catching the notes properly. The stuff I end up with after recording is absolute trash, no semblance of what I was playing whatsoever, and quite unusable. I'll send you a fruitbasket if you can help me.

This applies to Live users on intel as well.

Strange Vocal Double During Recording Logic 8!

Hi everyone (My first post ,
I am getting a strange doubling effect if i record a vocal on a record enabled track in logic. This only happens during recording in playback it plays as normal although it is quite off putting. I am using a TC Electronic Konnekt 24D Interface and this only occurs when recording a vocal with a condensor mic it does not happen when i record my turntables or any other stereo source?
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks

This is due to the fact that you're monitoring through Logic and you're hearing the direct Input as well as the track output causing the doubler effect as the Latency is delaying the track's Output. So set the track you're recording to to "No Output", enable Input monitoring and you should be fine.

Logic freezes while recording ...

i have the same problem so help would be appriciated

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?

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.

MIDI notes sent during record ready mode AND whenever I start Logic Pro and

Why is Logic Studio pro sending a MIDI note whenever I am writing a new AUDIO track? I get a steady pulse during record ready mode AND this also happens each time I open a project up. ( although it only sends ONE midi note (NOT repeating) when I open up a project)
I have eliminated it by simply turning off the midi interface but this is hardly a fix.
thanks for any help!
Bob

Is it doing this for all projects? Did you change anything in the Environment window? All MIDI gets routed through there. You could attach a monitor object to your MIDI tracks in the Environment to try to see what's going on...although first I would make sure no other programs on your computer could be interfering.

Display not scrolling during recording

I'm using the latest version of Audition CC2014, and have just noticed that during recording, the waveform created under the playhead (in the waveform editor) as the playhead moves left to right doesn't scroll. I have playback preferences set to auto scroll during playback and recording, with centered auto-scrolling in the waveform editor.
As the playhead reaches the right hand side of the display, the whole time line is compressed (like an auto zoom out) creating more space to the right of the playhead, which then jumps left to the beginning of that newly visible unrecorded space and starts moving right again. The waveform never scrolls off the left hand side.
Everything works fine when I'm playing an audio track back, it's only the recording that's affected. Nothing has changed on my PC apart from updating the Creative Cloud Apps I use.
Has anyone else noticed this behaviour?
Steve

Hi,
there's probably nothing wrong. During recording, Logic will give the graphics low priority, in order to "concentrate" on maximum audio performance. So, the graphics of a new audio track will be somewhat messy during recording.
Kind regards,
Jaap

Logic freezing up

I have a Macbook 2.4G processor, 2G of Ram and 160 hard drive. I also have a Mybook 750G external hard drive. I recorded a song directly to my Mac the other night. When I got home I copied the entire file, including the audio files onto my external hard drive. I was able to make edits to the song without a problem but when I tried to record a new track Logic freezes. I had to force quit. I tried a few times with the same results. I even tried to start a new song, initially saving to the external hard drive. Once I try to record it freezes. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Audio drops during recording

Hi guys,
I'm working on my MacBook Pro 2.4 with Logic Pro 8.0.2 and M-Audio Ozonic FireWire interface (latest driver installed). During recording (just one voice track) over an empty session I notice random audio drops. I tryed to change latency and buffer without success. Same equipment and software on my Mac Pro 2.66 works great.
Last year I worked all the summer with the same MacBook Pro (maybe some osx and software versions earlier) without any problem.
Any good ideas ?
Thanks in advance.
Piero

Turn Airport off first and close all other applications.
Recording one track onto the system drive should not be a problem at all but nevertheless try recording all your Audio onto a fast external FW drive in the future.

Input monitoring problem during recording

Greetings,
I recently purchased Logic Pro 9, and am having a problem with input monitoring. I am not able to in any way affect control over my monitor mix during recording. I have tried every combination of options, including software monitoring, auto-input monitoring, etc...but always get the same headphone levels from my inputs (I am actually trying to mute the input signals out completely so that I can play along to only the click.
I am wondering whether this is some sort of software glitch, because I was able to control the mix perfectly before the latest software update. I wonder if that is the problem, or if I am overlooking some minor detail. Please help!!
BTW, I have checked, and this is definitely a software, not a hardware issue...
Thanks much,
Kevin

I have a similar problem, although I'm on Logic Pro 8.
I can't seem to record my guitar track (mic'd cabinet) without having the result monitor back through my studio monitors unless I turn off software monitoring in Preferences/Audio. But then if I want to record keyboards direct and listen to what I'm playing, I have to go back in and turn the option back on.
In Sonar on the PC, this was much more intuitive. You could arm a track for recording by clicking the "R" button, and separately toggle monitoring on and off by clicking the little speaker button to the right. You didn't have to constantly fiddle with the program preferences.
I have a FireWire410 interface, and the monitoring only happens when Logic is loaded. I would have thought that the little "I" icon was to turn monitoring on and off, but it's some "pre/post-tape" toggle I can't find a use for.
Kevin, how did you control your monitor mix before?

Getting rid of dry vocals during recording

I just bought the Antares autotune evo and have been playing around recoding with it. The problem I'm having is that during recording I am hearing the dry vocal track along with the effect, it's very distracting not hearing just the effect on the vocals. Does anyone know how I can set the track to only hear the effect without the dry vocals?

Sorry, I should have been more specific about my gear in the post. I am using an m audio projectmix i/o for my audio interface. I didn't think of checking the settings for my interface, I will take a look at that. Are there any settings in logic that might enable input monitoring? If so I'd like to make sure I do not have that enabled.
Thanks for the quick reply, it is appreciated.

Signal Volume during Recording

When I record the volume of each input signal being recorded is fixed. Adjusting the fader has no effect. Automation is turned off. Is there a way to adjust this in the mixer? I'd like to be able to optimize the input gain on the interface (Presonus Firestation) without having to turn it down or up in order to hear it correctly in the mix.

Rob Twardock wrote:
Sorry, but no. You're suggesting turning the faders down in Logic and I'm saying that's what is not working. I move the fader down for the channel being recorded and it has no effect on the volume I hear through the 1/2 output during recording. Once its recorded, the fader works fine for playback.
Sorry, I got confused with your post.
Then maybe check the "Software monitoring" to ensure it is on.
This will force the fader moves to change the levels on your mix during recording.
It will introduce some latency, so check your settings.
Cheers

Idvd crashed during recording dvd

I did a new project with 2 film made with imovie09 and extracted to quicktime one in full hd and one in 4:3.
Idvd goes well untill the moment of recording, when it is in the phase before burning the dvd.
He remains some minutes in analysing resource, and then crashed.
Do anyone help me why this happens, i did a lot of projet with idvd and never happened it...
thank you.

Update:
- The Application File Juicer was able to extract the movie as JPEG-pictures.
