Logic Pro 8 Leopard record midi delay

Question

Alright here's the problem I've been having. First my midi device has no driver because it is designed to work off core audio. When opening Logic Pro 8 and attempting to record vocals or midi I was greeted with an unusual amount of delay, about half a second. I found that opening an older version of Logic Express v.7 would set things straight but only until the midi device was shut off or you rebooted. If you attempted to shut the device down and restart it using the Logic Express trick you would lose the trick forever for that installation of Logic. I was fortunate to have more than one install but recently lost that one too and was left with no options. I found a fix that even after reboot resolved the delay issue. Open the preference audio pane in Logic make sure that the delay time is set to a level your particular model of mac can handle mine is 64. Make sure your device is selected. uncheck the enable box then recheck it. A message will appear to relaunch click ok and test. This worked for me and after restart everything was still on point. It seems to me that the settings aren't what they show and that changing them without disabling and re-enabling does nothing at all. and yes I clicked apply settings. I tried to change them with record monitoring on to see if I could hear any change and I got none. So by dis and re-enabling you force the settings thus correcting the issue.

Answer 1

After further testing and even the 10.5.1 update the issue remains. You have to dis-en-able device in Express to get it to work right in Pro. This is not cool but at least there's a loop but for some of you who don't have that loop to jump through sorry. I know from a musicians standpoint that without being able to work the magic the way you should is infuriating and hope Apple fixes this flaw with Pros interaction with Leopard. Best of luck!
