Logic is quitting on me during playback

Logic is suddenly quitting during playback. I think it's something with native instruments, can anyone help me to get back to working on my tracks? The error code says thread 9 crashed? Please, please help. This is seriously ruining me.

Hi
Have you installed the latest updates for these plugins?

Playhead freezes during playback and no fader levels (Logic 8)

during playback on my powermac g5, it's a legit version from a studio.
playhead freezes and stops moving all together untill i pause and press play to refresh position.
This is happening with some but not all projects;
happening on a reasonable sized project, it contains 22 tracks overall, 16 are audio tracks (without excessive plugins) the rest of the tracks are various synths.
(i have checked the core overload and neither core is overloading and i am using the audio channel trick for the VSTs to balance it out between cores.)
got 10 bus sends but again nothing huge on them, just reverb here or there and basic FX and group EQ.
finally nothing on the master channel bar a EQ that is just analysing Freq.
I'm also not getting any fader levels at all during playback, this might be from the same issue?
the software isn't lagging at all just no playhead movement and no repsonse from faders, i've most probably pushed a button since i've recently moved over to logic from ableton on a PC.
let me know if i'm the moron or if it's a bug/something
Version No. 8.0.2

Actually, I must make correction, it is not the core audio error, it is the disk too slow error.

Songs are quitting early during playback. Please Help!?

Songs are quitting early during playback. Sometime up to 40 seconds early. Very frustrating, please help?

NOT A SAMPLE LOADING PROBLEM is what I meant!
THa samples load fine. But the playback is not working.

Crashes when editing during playback

I have been very frustrated with trying to make edits while logic plays back audio. I've used most other DAWs and never had this problem. It seems like every time I try to make an edit, or pull up a plug in (while mixing), or save the project, playback stops either momentarily if I'm lucky, or more likely altogether. Often I will get a beach ball hang for a minute or more, and sometimes will have to force logic to quit. I have now "built into" my workflow stopping playback before pressing ANY key at all.
I've just seen the discusison on nicing logic, and I've got the script up and running, which does seem to make a general difference, but does not solve this specific problem. CPU is not maxxed or even close, by the way. This is one of the main issues which is forcing me to re-consider my switch to logic a year ago. now that I'm "fast" with the commands, logic can't keep up.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi,
Yes, a song with a bunch of edits will task the hard drive a lot more.
As far as the other things:
1. I don't do this. I do stop the sequencer to insert a plugin. Saves my speakers and my ears from any pops / etc.
2. I also don't do this during playback. Why? Because you are writing this crossfade onto the disk, and if you are playing back a large number of tracks...well theres the performance issue again.
3. I do do this, and have no issue with it so far. My sessions regularly run 24 to 50 audio tracks.
4. The only editing I do perform when playgin back is basic region length changes, like removing silences between vocal lines. usually because of 2" tape transfers, the noise floor is too high to accurately use the strip silence function properly, so I do it by ear as the song goes by.
I don't usually freeze files, I render them, and remove the plugins. I COMMIT, man. Nothing quite like a commitment.
Cheers

My apple tv stalls during playback. How can I fix this?

My Apple TV stalls during playback. I am hooked up through ethernet so I'm certain that it is not a network issue. What happens is that after a few minutes of normal playback the movie that I'm watching simply stalls. It looks like AppleTV is trying to reboot it. if I rewind it briefly and restart the movie by pushing play it seems to be fine. But it it stalls again after a few minutes. I have to do this very often and it becomes quite distracting when you're trying to watch a show.
One thing I have noticed is that if I pause the program before it stalls and leave it for about 15 minutes I can watch a large portion of the show uninterrupted.
The files are in my iTunes library. I don't seem to have this issue if I'm playing the files from my iPad via AirPlay. I have restarted, reset, and rebooted AppleTV several times and it still keeps doing it. Any suggestions out there?

640 x 480
Widescreen 16:9
These settings are contradictory. Please post a screen capture image of the QT "Inspector" window to confirm what encode matrix setting, PAR display setting, and Scale display settings are actually embedded in your file. Also please confirm whether or not the source material was widescreen and it is 4:3 aspect you wish to correct at this point. If not, then please state the height at which the transcoded file was encoded and the target aspect ratio at which you want files to play in all media players.
Once compressed it plays back in Windows Media Player as 16:9 video.
When played back with Quicktime it is squished into a 4:3 format.
Different players dispay content aspect differently.
Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
QT 7, for instance, displays the file using specific Scale dimensions and if these dimensions are not equivalent to PAR/anamorphic playback settings, then the file can display differently in differently media players. As to fixing the problem, that depends on which setting you are trying to fix and what platform/software is available.

Keep getting message pop up "Error reading/writing file "com.apple.logic.pro.cs": Logical end-of-file reached during read operation," and "The Preferences are not loaded completely. Save them to "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" anyway?" Using Logic pro 8. ???

Logic froze while I was working on something so I forced quit. Now every time I open LOGIC a message pops up that says:
"Error reading/writing file
“com.apple.logic.pro.cs”:
Logical end-of-file reached during read operation."
The only button option is cancel so I press it and another message appears that says:
"The Preferences are not loaded completely.
Do not save them, as you would overwrite the Preferences file with incomplete data."
Then when i close logic a box appears saying:
"The Preferences are not loaded completely.
Save them to "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" anyway?"
There are 3 button options to press; ok, cancel or dont save.
I press "don’t save" cuz I don't want to ruin anything.
I found a discussion located here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/9564253#9564253 that says if I delete the file "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" it will resolve the problem. If I do this will I loose or mess anything up at all, automation, saved channel strips customizations, saved effects, synth, or ultrabeat customizations etc? Or especially will I loose any work I've done? I have hundreds pieces of music files I've created. I'm scared to mess anything up with all the hours and months of work I've done. Is there anyway to fix this without loosing anything? I'm using Logic Pro 8.
Thank you

You can safely delete this file - its the preference file for control surface settings - you haven't said whether you're actually using a control surface or not, if so, you will have to set it up again. A new file will be created when you fire Logic up again, but of course it will contain default settings. If you have a complicated control surface setup, remember to keep a backup copy somewhere in case any future problems arise.
Other than that, you really have nothing to be scared about - hopefully your problem is as simple as that and there isn't an underlying problem (a corrupt hard drive, for example). You seem concerned about losing work, so I guess you want to think about backing that up on a regular basis too. If you're saving your projects to your system drive, do get an external one for this. And also check that you have plent of free space on your system drive - you need to keep about a quarter or third of it free for your OS and programs to run properly (some temporarily stored files can be quite large).

Error: Logical end-of-file reached during read operation. Result Code = -39

Hello all,
Recently, I have been suddenly getting this error message:
"Logical end-of-file reached during read operation. Result Code = -39."
In my case, when it does come up, it always pops up during the recording of an audio take. Almost immediately after hitting the stop button, this error message would pop up. And then when I go to check the take that was just recorded, there is nothing but shrieking noise. As a result, this pop up error trashes any good take I may have had. It's unpredictable as to when this error decides to pop up as well. So now, when I record, I tend to just have my fingers crossed and hope that this error doesn't pop up especially right after recording a good take!
To no avail, I have tried different I/O buffer settings, repaired permissions, rebooted, and even re-formatted my recording hard disk.
Could this be a possible hint that my hard disk is about to physically collapse? I have had it for about 2 years. Could it be some sort of bug in Logic? Or something else perhaps?
Appreciate any feedback! Thanks a lot!

Thanks for those suggestions Erik...
It's been happening for a month I guess and I don't think that anything new's been installed. I will try recording to the start up disc and to maybe to some USB discs I have.
It seems to happen after working on a project for some time.
After say tracking takes for 45 mins or so. Maybe it's just coincidence, but do you think that might indicate a hardware issue?
Now there might be a clue. What happens when you then quit Logic, reboot your Mac, and reopen the active session? It might be that your disk has become a bit messy from all the traffic, and it just needs to 'settle' in OS X again. Click on the *Spotlight icon* top right of your screen and see if any indexing is taking place. Wait for it to finish before launching Logic.
Alternatively, you could exclude your recording disk from Spotlight indexing alltogether, by dragging the disk to the Privacy field in the Spotlight Sysprefpane.
One other thing to do: turn off Journaling , using *Disk Utility.* Select your recording volume in Disk Utility, hold the alt key while dropping down the File menu. Choose *Disable Journaling.*
On the other hand, it might also point to a RAM issue. Do you ever suffer Kernel panics (=the darkening 'curtain' and the message "You need to restart your Mac... etc")? or 'unexplained' crashes? If not or very rarely, I'ld rule out a RAM issue. If daily, it could be. What you can try in this case is to turn of your Mac and physically take out and reinsert your RAM.
And when you trash (=eject/unmount), physically disconnect and reconnect your recording disk? Does that help? (Logic should not be running when you do this)

Oprah podcasts still pause during playback

Quite a while ago I asked about the weird hesitation during playback of any of the Oprah podcasts, but, although several people reported having the same experience, no one had an answer.
Well....thought I'd bring the subject up again and see if there was any answer to why this is happening, and how to correct it.
Basically, after about 20 minutes into any of the podcasts offered by Oprah's soul series, my iPod will lock up and pause for a while. Nothing can force the iPod out of this mode while it's paused... you just have to wait until, whatever is happening, finishes. As the program progresses, these pauses occur more frequently and the duration of the pause increases as well (sometimes lasting for a minute or longer).
BTW, the podcasts play fine, without hesitations, on iTunes within any Mac...only when played thru an iPod does this occur.
Of course, all other music, and podcasts, play back normally, without pauses.

I've identified two different Oprah Podcast series, I assume you are referring to the *Oprah.com Spirit Channel* (also known as *Oprah's Soul Series* ) with episodes: Kathy Freston from 18th August and Rodger Kamenetz from 26th August, is that correct?
If so, I notice that there are audio-only Podcasts & video Podcasts, so we need to know which episode types are causing the problem, audio, video-small screen or video-large screen. I'm currently downloading (as I write) the episode *Rodger Kamenetz part 1 - small screen* as a test. Are you trying to play the large-screen versions of the videos on your iPod?

CPU overload during playback and record

This happens here and there but is not a consistent problem, and for that reason I feel that it can be corrected. Out of the blue, during playback or record, all of the sudden my CPU meter will start spiking and the audio will start getting interrupted until it just gives up and I get a dialogue box saying overload. I always make sure all other applications are closed to avoid this. What else can I do?

1. Have an empty Audio Track selected during playback (= no need for Logic to wait for realtime MIDI input)
2. Increase Audio Buffer
3. Turn off "safety" buffer. "safety" is very misunderstandig... In fact, it makes things unsafer in terms of playback stability. (BTW: Did anyone find out which "safety" is meant, anyway?)
4. Turn off Airport, go offline, turn off antivirus and such things. Just let Logic be the only big application running.
5. After some playbacks, the caches should provide enough information so that Logic runs more smooth than with the first playback. So - if you need Logic as live tool, let it play the project once or twice before.

Pan settings and sometimes volume levels change during playback

pan settings and sometimes volume levels change during playback without my touching them in Logic X! I haven't set any automation and strangely a similar thing happened to some plug-ins i used in pro tools m-powered. Any ideas as to why this is happening would be greatly appreciated? Cheers

Premiere Pro CC crashes when trimming (often during playback)

I've been having Premiere Pro CC freeze on me about every 2 minutes when I trim in the timeline using keyboard shortcuts (trim backward/forward one frame). It seems to happen more often during playback, but also happens exclusively during trimming (and occasionally when I use a keyboard shortcut to step forward/backward one frame - obviously not during playback).
This appears to be a weird freeze & not a crash, in the sense that playback freezes and I get the spinning beachball/wheel of death and premiere is unresponsive, but when I force-quit, Premiere resumes playback for a second before giving the "Premiere has experienced a serious error and must shut down" error message, and then shutting down.
Any help would be much appreciated - this is really causing a massive slow-down in my editing.
I'm running a MacBook pro
Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013
2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
C02L255BFFT1
OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)
Premiere Pro CC fully updated, I'm editing 48kHz .aiff audio files and/or h.264 video in a 1080p 24fps timeline, waveforms on, GPU acceleration OFF.
The same issue also happens on my iMac (from early 2013 - I don't have the specs on me).

Hi minutephysics,
Thanks for your posts. It is always better to have latest version of cuda drivers even, if you are not using the gpu acceleration. So, please update the drivers and then check the performance. Please update the drivers from the link.

Premiere Elements 11 crashes during playback after adding PiP

I have Adobe Premiere Elements 11, up to date, and Windows 7 home up to date. This is a new problem that just started with my most recent project. I have done these types of edits and PiP's many times with success with the same type of source video formats, etc.
The problem: I add a small clip of video over the main video timeline as Picture in Picture. It adds to the timeline successfully and I can even play it back ok (before rendering). If I add a transition to the front of the PiP, it will crash during playback (pre-render). Or, if I render the timeline before adding the transition, it will also crash during playback once it gets to the PiP.
I tested PiP with still pictures and that works ok, it only crashes on video PiP. I have tested different video formats (from GoPro and from Panasonic camcorder) with the same results (crashes). I have uninstalled Adobe Premiere as well as Quicktime and re-installed them, same results. I am quite frustrated with the constant crashes, especially since I have done a dozen or more videos the same exact way using the same cameras and same types of video files.
Any help is appreciated.
Justin

So I created a new project using the project preset "DSLR 1080p30 @29.97". Everything worked fine in that project using the same source videos and doing PiP (tested with both methods).
I opened the project that was giving me problems and the PiP worked when using your approach of dropping the PiP clip onto Video 2 then scaling it down. I then deleted that PiP and re-added it the way I was doing it before, and it crashed the first time I tried to play it back.
I closed down Elements and again tried to reproduce the crash the same way, but this time it worked and did not crash...I tried multiple times to reproduce the crash, sometimes it would, sometimes it wouldn't...
So, I don't know exactly what the problem is. Lastnight I could reproduce the crash every time by either rendering the PiP or adding a transition to the front of it (then playing it back), every time it would crash. Now it is behaving differently.
At any rate, I will start using the correct project settings going forward and know that I can PiP using the other method as well. Maybe the project that is giving me problems is just corrupted or something, I'll toss it an start anew.

MacPro 3.1 with GTX285 freezes during playback- too slow?

I´m having issues with my MacPro 3.1 (2008, 10GB RAM, GTX 285 card) and FCPX which always freezes only during playback.
I can edit the whole day without any freezing as long as I do not play back the edit for longer than 1 minute. After about 1.15 of continuos playback the computer will freeze for 45 seconds. The audio keeps playing though but the video will freeze and I cant do anything on the computer. Then video comes back for another minute before it will freeze again. So I can never see the whole edit...
When working with Adobe Premiere CS6 or any other program I do not have the slightest issues and the MacPro is working fine the whole day. I only have this issue with FCPX (10.0.6 and 10.0.7)
I have tried the following so far:
- trashed preferences
- re-installed FCPX
- clean install of the OS (10.8.2) on a fresh HD with fresh install of FCPX (no other programs on the system)
- changed RAM
- Hardware Test with no issues showing
- dropped in my old GT8800 graphic card which seems to be too slow but does not show any real freezes only choppy video playback
- Cuda driver installed and Cuda uninstalled
Could it be that my system is too slow for FCPX? Could the 285 cause the freezing? Does anybody else have this kind of issues? I have to use Premiere Pro CS6 with Cuda for most of my projects, but for quick edits I would love to use FCPX with this machine. What can I do? Any ideas what could be wrong with my system? Any feedback would be highly appreciated.

Tom,
thanks a lot for taking the time to reply. Now I´m even more puzzled knowing that it should work fine on my machine.
I also got the impression that the GTX285 should handle FCPX without any issues and it does on my machine until it freezes. Its quite snappy during editing and can play quite a few effects that need rendering in real time. Strange thing also is that I do not get a dropped frame warning after the freeze.
Regarding your questions:
1) I tried all kind of formats ranging from DV, DVCPRO, DVCPRO50, XDCAM and ProRes. Even tried transcoding and proxy. No matter what format I bring in, the freezing will occur
2) tried transcoding and the original file formats
3) Cuda drivers are up to date. I also tried various older drivers and not installing Cuda at all. Same result all the time unfortunately.
I no longer know what I should do... I´m already thinking about buying a ATI 5770 but I´m also using Premiere a lot which works great with the Cuda cards and I do not want to invest into this old machine - still hoping that a new MacPro will arrive eventually later this year...
Thanks,
Gerald

Itunes on my Windows XP after downloading ver. 10.5, starts & stops during playback

Yesterday I upgraded my itunes to 10.5. At first I couldn't upgrade because the old version wouldn't delete the old version to install 10.5. After much help from Dell, we finally got 10.5 to install but it stops & starts during playback several times during a song. How do I fix this?

The error message I receive does not identify the file or feature. I have tried to uninstall iTunes through Control Panel, but that also results in a similar error message.
If you're getting sschap's message when uninstalling iTunes, that usually narrows things down to trouble with the iTunes.msi.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
(2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Shaky video during playback

I have some HD video I shot with my Cannon T1I that I converted to AIC files using MPEG Streamclip. After doing some editing in FCE, I used quicktime to view the files. During playback of the footage I noticed the footage was shaking quit bad, which made it hard to view. I've done this process before without the shaking, so I'm not sure what happened.
I converted the files to AIC files and used 29.97 fps.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,

I wonder if this the case as I had the resolution qualities mazes out. I'll watch them again in full screen mode and my tv to compare.
I do have perian installed. Not sure if I've updated it since snow leoppard.
Thanks guys!!
