Logic Pro 7.1.1 stability

Hi,
I'v been using logic on mac since v6, I have never bin able to have logic run continuously for more than an hour!! It always locks-up on me (crashes). I am at the end of my tether. I love the look of logic and love the way it works, (wen it works!) Am I missing sumthin? anybody?
I have checked all the following things:
I have checked all my memory modules. (removed 1 faulty 512mb)
temporarily removed addional internal/external fiwi drives
repaired drive permission,
Installed pro application suport 3.1
disabled ALL third party au's (Absynth, atmosphere, minimoog v)
reset logic pro7 prefs
removed motu av/audiophile 2496 drivers and used interal audio
tweaekd audio preferance settings.
...and still it crashes! slight improvement yeah, but crashes after hour or so
I am using logic pro 7.1.1 1/2gig ram, 4/5 audio tracks,sum logic au effects.
Am i doing sumthin wrong.? I'v checked and double checked all my g4 hardware with apple hardware tester. could there a seriouse bug in MY copy/version of logic that prevents it from running a few audiomidi tracks for an hour? Can any1 help advise?
Considering i spent ova £600 on my logic pro,
my heart sank when i (out of curiosity) downloaded and installed Logic Express Trial on sun 4th, I set it to play.. and to my astonishment it ran from 10:00 sunday morning to 23:00! all the time iwas swapping/jumpng around screensets editing and generally USING it, trying to crash it! Express remained rock solid all the way ever since, is there an pro equivalent?
any1?
Thanks guys...

logic 7.1 runs ok here, but that's on a G5. Did you loop the hardware ckecking prg? A guy at applecare told me that the memory is only checked random. If you want a thorough check you could press ctrl-L ( or something like that; I forgot) when starting the harware check to loop the prg, run it overnight and see what comes up. I can imagine logic pro uses a lot more memory than logic express, so it would be more sensitive to memory failure.
Any other prg that uses a lot of memory? Is your mac stable when running a load of prg at the same time?
Goodluck

Mac Shuts Down Unexpectedly in Logic Pro

I sure hope someone can help me with this. For the last few months my Mac Pro starting shutting down unexpectedly typically when running Logic but not limited to Logic. I have updated everything that I can find. I have taken the computer in the store for support twice where they said that after testing there was no issue with the power supply or the logic board and determined that the hardware was okay. The only thing he could tell me is that he thought that it might have to do with all of the dongles on my usb hub. Before the hub was being powered by the Mac so I got a new hub that is now self powered. I thought that it might have to do with the fact that I run Logic through a Digi 002 which I know a lot of people have had stability issues with. Yesterday I also updated my Ilok and Eliscencers and it seemed to work. Today after a solid day of no crashes it was back to the same old stuff. Out of nowhere while Logic is running the audio signal abruptly stops but not to silence it holds a buzzing sound of the last audio that was processed. Then a grey screen comes down and gives me the notice that I need to restart my computer. Upon powering back up this is the notice that came up Interval Since Last Panic Report: 82145 sec Panics Since Last Report: 6 Anonymous UUID: 3A1A42A4-6B76-4D5A-AE56-435F88E32ACF Thu Aug 9 17:31:55

Mine has done this at least 3 times already. The laptop isn't connected to a power source, but it says there is still about 30% battery remaining. It has happened before with 50% and even 60%. It's not that it falls asleep, I would be in the middle of doing something and it just shuts off. I don't think it's overheating... It's a little warm, but the fan isn't 'working hard' or anything. It's not happening consistently, but it's happened enough times that it has made me concerned. Here's my battery info:
Model Information:
Serial Number: DP-bq20z951-397b-6c24
Manufacturer: DP
Device name: bq20z951
Pack Lot Code: 0000
PCB Lot Code: 0000
Firmware Version: 002a
Hardware Revision: 0005
Cell Revision: 0100
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 2272
Fully charged: No
Charging: Yes
Full charge capacity (mAh): 3326
Health Information:
Cycle count: 124
Condition: Good
According to the stats... it doesn't really look like a battery problem. I really hope the warranty would cover a battery replacement though, if that's what it requires

"Mouse Over" issues in Logic Pro - Mountain Lion

Hi,
Since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, I spotted an issue with Logic Pro (Logic 9).
In the Arrange window, when pointing the mouse at the end of a region, the pointer icon doesn't change to the looping (upper right corner of the region) or resize (lower right corner) icon.
As a result, those functionalities (looping and resizing regions) are gone.
Anyone having the same issue?
Is there a way to solve this or do we need to wait for a Logic Pro update to get these back?
Thanks in advance,
A nice day everyone,
Vince

As it's the only problem I have noticed since the upgrade, and as I mentioned in my last post, looking like a minor problem to me, I will keep Mountain Lion.
But anyway, thanks for the advice, Ivan.

No problem, as a professional musician using Logic I learned that lesson the hard way first time around. Hard as it was to not have the toys I soon learned that stability ruled the day....

I'm struggling to install Logic Pro 9 upgrade on Mountain Lion

Way back we bought one of the last pre-Intel G5 in order to do music processing. We also bought Logic Studio v6 or 7. Then we upgraded to Logic Studio 8 and later decided to use a macbook pro instead of the G5. So far so good. We then upgraded to Logic Pro 9 and can run this on Lion on the Macbook Pro.
My partner is now working away and takes his Macbook with him, so we want to set-up Logic 9 on my macbook pro which is running Mountain Lion 10.8.4. Once this is done we will take it off his machine, so not pirating in any way.
I have managed (at great length) to install Logic Studio 8 on my machine using Pacifist, and I can open it and create projects etc... I now want to install Logic Pro 9 on this machine but I get a message saying that a qualifying copy of Logic or MainStage was not found on the disk. To complicate matters, we can't find either the logic pro 9 disk or an image copy, so I downloaded from the following link:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2972851/logic-downloads-fixed.html
which I found in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4948612
I have already spent many many hours fiddling with this, does anyone know how I can get around this problem?

Im using LPX and have found it to work well.... and no less stable than LP9 in terms of general stability. There are some bugs but given we are still in the early stages of development, that is not surprising and is no different to how it was with LP8 and 9 in their early days. I should add I haven't come across any "showstopper" bugs that affect my own personalo workflow and method of using Logic... just a few niggles and minor annoyances... that for the most part can be worked around if they haven't already been fixed in the 3 updates that have come out since initial release.
I have had no real issues with importing LP9 projects into LPX other than of course, the lack of 32bit Plugin support in LPX which means LP9 projects that contain 32bit plugins.. will not fully import into LPX. The midi/audio data imports ok.. the 32bit plugins will be missing however... if you don't have equivilant 64bit versions installed. For me, this issue has been very minimal simply because almsot all the plugins i use, have already been updated to 64bit versions over the last few years.
There has also been an issue with certain parameters in the track/region Inspector after import into LPX, containing weird values.. I have only had this issue once out of maybe 40+ LP9 Projects and in this one case i simply reset the values and all was well. Other users have reported different levels of how often this occurs.
Note: Once a project has been opened and then resaved in LPX the LPX version cannot be opened in LP9 as project compatibility is only backwards and not forwards.
If you cannot find your disk and serial..(which you will also need) Contact Apple as they may be able to provide you with replacements disks if they have any left. Bear in mind if, as it appears, your LP9 is an upgrade from LP8 you will also need your previous LP8 serial as well as your upgrade LP9 serial to properly install Logic on a new Mac. Once installed you can and in fact must... then update LP9 to 9.1.8 via software updates in LIon or Mountain LIon... for Logic to under those OS versions.

Is logic pro 9.1.8 stable with OSX 10.7?

I run Logic pro 9.1.8 with OSX 10.6.8 on an external hard drive and it runs smooth as anything. Very stable, never misses a beat.
The reason i have an external as my boot drive is because I updated my internal drive from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, and had continuous issues with stability when using logic. It would randomly crash, get stuck on loop with no response at all, crash when using certain 3rd party audio components, the list goes on.
So once i'd had enough I decided to get an external and start over.
I have native instruments komplete 8, and am wanting to upgrade to komplete 9, but alas, the update to Komplete 9 is not compatible with anything prior to OSX 10.7 (********).
So after a few weeks of researching and procrastinating, im still undecided as whether to update to OSX 10.7.
I don't know if it is stable with logic 9.1.8 because when i previously updated, i went straight from Snow leopard to mountain lion.
Soooo if anyone out there can help me out with any advice regarding logic 9.1.8 stability with OSX 10.7, that would be awesome

How will Logic Pro X run with a 2006 iMac (Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.16 GHz, 4GB ram)?

I have a 2006 iMac 2.16 GHz, 4GB ram, Intel Core 2 Duo. I am not planning on using plug-ins, I am a beginning artist and Logic Pro seems to have more than what I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes it will.. I would recommend you use the combination of Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and LPv9.1.5 (or 9.1.8 if you have to..) with that particular hardware to get the best performance out of it... I would not recommend running any OS X version higher than 10.6.8 as each new version of OS X from then onwards.. placed a bigger performance hit on the hardware... and frankly, less stability with LP9.
As to how well it will run on that hardware.. will more depend on the sort of loads you place on it.. depending on the type and content of the music you wish to compose... It will run and you should be able to create reasonable sized projects.. but again, it all depends on the plugins used.. the number of them... the number of tracks and so on... so to give a more precise answer is difficult.

Will Logic Pro 9 run on a 2007 4GB ram, 320GB hard drive, Intel 2 duo 2ghz mac mini?

"Will Logic Pro 9 run on a 2007 4GB ram, 320GB hard drive, Intel 2 duo 2ghz mac mini?"
I am looking for the cheapest way possible to run Logic Pro 9 and will purchase a second hand mac mini if it will run the software.
Thank you!

Yes it will.. I would recommend you use the combination of Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and LPv9.1.5 (or 9.1.8 if you have to..) with that particular hardware to get the best performance out of it... I would not recommend running any OS X version higher than 10.6.8 as each new version of OS X from then onwards.. placed a bigger performance hit on the hardware... and frankly, less stability with LP9.
As to how well it will run on that hardware.. will more depend on the sort of loads you place on it.. depending on the type and content of the music you wish to compose... It will run and you should be able to create reasonable sized projects.. but again, it all depends on the plugins used.. the number of them... the number of tracks and so on... so to give a more precise answer is difficult.

Is Logic Pro 9.1.8 stable with OS X 10.7?

I run Logic pro 9.1.8 with OSX 10.6.8 on an external hard drive and it runs smooth as anything. Very stable, never misses a beat.
The reason i have an external as my boot drive is because I updated my internal drive from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion, and had continuous issues with stability when using logic. It would randomly crash, get stuck on loop with no response at all, crash when using certain 3rd party audio components, the list goes on.
So once i'd had enough I decided to get an external and start over.
I have native instruments komplete 8, and am wanting to upgrade to komplete 9, but alas, the update to Komplete 9 is not compatible with anything prior to OSX 10.7 (********).
So after a few weeks of researching and procrastinating, im still undecided as whether to update to OSX 10.7.
I don't know if it is stable with logic 9.1.8 because when i previously updated, i went straight from Snow leopard to mountain lion.
Soooo if anyone out there can help me out with any advice regarding logic 9.1.8 stability with OSX 10.7, that would be awesome

LP 9.1.8 tends to be less stable with Lion compared to ML so i would stick with the original combo of 10.6.8 and 9.1.8 if i were you... though of course that may prevent you updating to Komplete 9 though according to several forum posts, Komplete 9 will run under 10.6.8 without issue even though it is not officially supported...
http://www.gearslutz.com/board/music-computers/851152-komplete-9-anyone-using-os x-10-6-8-a.html
If you are upgrading from an earlier version you shouldn't have an issue but if you try and install Komplete 9 from scratch, the installer will not allow you to do so under 10.6.8 it seems..
However, back to your original question... it depends on what is causing the instability in the first place as I ran 9.1.8 under ML without issue here.... though imho, the most stable combination of LP9 and OS X is, for me at least, 9.1.5 and 10.6.8
Usually such instability is caused by driver problems with OS X rather than LP itself.. but some people suffered from graphic lag running under Lion and ML so again, it depends on what sort of instability you are refering to as to what may or may not be best for you.

Which Logic Pro interfaces will it be with no compromising?

Hello
I wanted a round about to which Logic Pro interfaces people think could be the most practical and best sounding with no compromising?
Digi feels like compromising for pro tools sessions, which is fine if you work for the man or have one, but my question is whats the best interface or and mixer i/o in terms of sound and practicallity with Logic not Pro Tools.
So far i only found suggestions hinting to smaller i/os like the firebox or Ensemble which have leeps in prices for example.
Anyone have insight to share?

There are a few ways at this point. If you want an all in one RME is a good choice with a good balance of sound, I/O and stability. MH does offer their interfaces with and without DSP. You can use aggregation get any combo you like. If you're more interested in recording 2 tracks at once ULN-2 and another interface for your less frequent I/O. I don't recall you specifying your budget and needs so I can only throw out so many suggestions, some may hit the mark. What Sample Rates do you want to record to what devices (Digital Mixer?) do you need to connect? AFAIK nobody can comment on the ensemble at this point. At this point RME and MH seem like your contenders. If you want quality and affordability you'll have to make sacrifices somewhere. Maybe a 2882 and the option to get a decent pre if you dislike the pres built in.
Mark wasn't disagreeing with me and makes a good point, the 2882 pres are usable. I have used them many times. For the features on the 2882 it's a steal (IMO) but the conversion is where the quality lies. Can you find a great 8 ch pre for $1200?-not easily (price comparison refers to 2882 non-DSP). For me, the quality is focused more on the conversion, you'll have the option to buy a pre if you don't find them sufficient. Concerning the pres, many pro recordings are done with them but often they use mics with hotter outs. They are not bad, I think it's a great box, for high quality recordings with ANY mic-you'll want to know a pre is a good idea. ULNs can also remember their boot states so if you want to use it as a master clock and your primary AD/DA then use another interface for the additional outs that's another option.
So I suppose some narrowing down and specifics are need at this point if you can't decide.

M-Audio Fast Track USB interface not compatible with Logic Pro X and Yosemite

Hello All!
I've been trying to simply record some guitar and vocal tracks onto the latest version of Logic Pro X. It worked before I downloaded the update of Yosemite, however now, I can't find a solution to my problem. I've tried everything! Installed new drivers onto the M-Audio and even tried to search for a later update of Yosemite. I have read a few things online about how Yosemite doesn't accept 3rd party drivers. So any USB plugged in to the macbook/mac that isn't mac based it doesn't accept.
Please can someone help me solve his issue!
Thankyou!
Felix

I know many, many of us who are running things just fine.
I have to be really honest with you Ben and say... Where are you getting that idea from because it simply isn't so.....
I have a quite large client list of Logic users from all over the world... and of those that have attempted to use Logic Pro X and Yosemite together... over 80% have had to revert back to a previous configuration because of performance and/or stability related issues...
I personally, have on test here at the studios... 7 different Macs ranging from 2010 Mac Mini i7 Servers to 2011 32GB 3.4Ghz iMacs.. to a maxed out 2013 i7 MBP to a top of the line 2014 Mac Pro and all have demonstrated issues regarding performance and stability with LPX and 10.10.x using a variety of different Audio/Midi interfaces, all of which have supposedly 10.10 compatible drivers... and all of which have no such issues running LPX under Mavericks...
Just a quick scan across the various forums.. indicates that very few people are successfully running LPX under Yosemite without performance problems.... so that's why I am asking where you are seeing 'many many people" because I am just not seeing that myself...
Cheers..

Logic Pro 9- Audio Recording with Rewire?!?!

Id really appreciate if someone could help me out with this
I've been running Rewire through Logic Pro 9 and Reason 4, with Reason being the slave of course, and trying to record audio tracks in Logic from Reason. Does anyone know how to do this??
I know how to setup channel auxillary tracks to hear the midi tracks from Reason, and have tried setting up a bus to channel the output to record to an audio track and it hasn't worked
Can anyone please explain how to get an output on an audio track from a Reason midi track to record it please?

The 32bit bridge has a long history of instability... so your experiences are not unusual.
This is probably one of the major reasons why the bridge and use of 32bit plugins, was finally removed in LPX..... as LPX only supports 64bit AU plugins.
However, you can use something like VEP or 32Lives to run 32bit plugins in LP9 64bit mode.. without the use of the 32bit bridge (and in LPX which doesnt have the bridge) and this does improve stability.
See this user tip for links etc...

Logic Pro Based recording studio

Hi all, I am intending on building a smallish recording studio around Logic Pro - I need your experience and expertise!
My imagined setup is based on a hefty Mac Pro, using Apogee Symphony Cards as Audio inputs. I considered using Motu or M-Audio..any thoughts?
My big Questions:
1. Mixing Desk/Control Surface
Firstly do I need a separate Mixing desk? or will a digital control surface do? Can all the audio go straight to the Mac through the interface? or does it need to go through a desk for monitoring etc?
2. Control Surface
I would very much like to find a decent control surface of the digidesign C24/C20 style, but I don't seem to be able to find anything with more than 8 channel strips that says its compatible with Logic Pro - these all seem targeted at the prosumer/home user category of artist - Any thoughts?
Thanks for your help all,
Ed

No software program is truly bug-free. The issue with Logic and the most current OS (10.5.2) is that these bugs are not being addressed... at all. Logic 8 has been around for 8 months or so and so far there have been no major updates to improve stability, core audio issues on the OS, etc.
Basically Logic is $500 because there is no support - you're buying only software.
Avid, Ableton, Cakewalk and the like are primarily software companies and they thrive on constantly updating their apps. Apple Inc, is not a software company. So you proceed at your own risk when it comes to Apple "solutions".
And keep in mind there is no such thing as a "solution"! Only tools, craftsmanship and love of music.
Your other question I believe about an external mixer, there are two simple descriptions: ITB & OTB.
In the box & Out of the box, respectively. Of course these two worlds overlap and arguably, one is not better than the other. I'd suggest looking for those terms on other forums. Tapeop.com, gearslutz.com, soundonsound.com, there are hundreds, I'm sure.
One last thing and it's a bit of a gripe: But Apple has also taken the liberty to arbitrarily remove certain features and/or consolidate features that were special components to Emagic's program... many of these features will be missed, ie, syncing Logic to an external MIDI clock. R.I.P. external MIDI clock...
Have fun.

Go to Logic Pro 8.0.1 now or sit tight?

Hello. I just upgraded to Logic Pro Studio over the weekend and I am very happy with the interface and more steamlined workflow. Although I do appear to have hang-ups (rainbow balls) occur more frequently than with Logic 7.2.3 on my system.
I have 4.5 Gig of RAM and think I should just sit tight given some of the alleged problems with 8.0.1. Does anyone have a contrary view (that I should proceed with the 8.0.1 upgrade --- I am not heavy into Ultrabeat, but trying to learn)? Will it make Logic more or less "stable" on my PPC G5 Quad? I am also not a heavy audio instrument/soft synth user. Just guitarist/composer doing own production. No other software other than Stylus RMX (Logic 8 upgrade) and MOTU Traveler interface (so no known driver issues there or is there with Logic 8?).
I appreciate any advice. Happy New Year too. Mike

Hi,
I would definetly upgrade to 8.0.1 - for me it improved overall stability and some bugs got fixed others didn't but it's only 8.0.1
As you're not using a lot of EXS samples and softsynths as you state you should be fine with your RAM.
Go for it!
