Logic pro 8 score issues

Logic pro 8 is not accurately converting midi notes to the score. If I hold down one piano key while recording and intermittantly hit another key, only the "another" key shows up on the score from the time I hit it, though it exists in the piano roll. Anyone else experience this? Don't want to upgrade to 9 in the middle of a large project.

Hi
1st: No need to upgrade to Logic 9 to fix this. Logic has worked this way forever.
2nd: To get the notation to look right you have 2 choices
a) In the Score Inspector, turn off the 'No Overlap' function. (This will display all the notes but probably with an ugly set of tied notes)
b) Choose a Polyphonic Staff Style (eg Piano 1+2/3) and assign the notes to different voices within the Style. This can be done by changing the MIDI channel of the notes belonging to the second voice (Voice Separation Tool, Event list, key commands etc etc etc.)
More info in the manual :-)

How do I limit the number of measures per line in Logic Pro score editor

I would like to control the number of measures per line in Logic Pro X Score Editor, currently it puts random numbers of measures per line depending on the accumulated lenth of the measures per line, as if looking for "the best fit". Any ideas how to force four measures per line in my finished score?

Thanks, This solved my problem, the only thing I still needed to do was to find out how to open the Global format window. I fugured it out by opening the Score editor window / Layout / global format /then I saw the Max # of barlines. If you just go to the Logic Pro / Preferences then you never get to see the global format window unless you know to hit the "Score Project Settings" button on the bottom. But at least you showed me that there was such a option which limited the number of measures so I keep on trying until I fould how to reveal that option. Thanks !

Logic Pro 8 Issues, Error Messages

Hi all.
I've been having a variety of problems with my home recording studio, which i have neglected to post about until now- from what i've read it seems no-one knows how to fix them. I'm turning to the MacTalk community to resolve my woes... First things first, here's the gear:
 MacBook Pro (mid-2008), 2.4GHz C2D, 4GB RAM, OS X 10.5.6.
 I use Logic Pro 8 primarily, and this is where all the errors are popping up. I record to WAV, 24-bit, 48KHz (for the sake of diagnosing errors, I have tried 16-bit, 44.1KHz and noticed no difference).
 All audio-related work is handled on a WD MyStudio External FW800 HDD.
 My audio interfaces are an Apogee Duet, and an M-Audio ProFire 2626 (both running latest drivers).
Now, there are 3 (possibly related) problems i'm having with my setup.
✖ Problem #1
I receive an error message indicating a 'System Overload' at random times during playback and occasionally recording.
It halts the audio, and I need to click play or record again. Sometimes it happens again and again, other times it’s just a one-off. This problem can occur with either the Duet or ProFire interface. Apparently the number of tracks I’m recording or playing is irrelevant, as it happens under many different circumstances.
✖ Problem # 2
I receive an error message telling me that the “Drive is too slow, error -10004”, and this happens only in recording (I think; oh and it looks like the previous dialogue box). As mentioned above, I use a FW800 external HDD, so it shouldn’t be a hardware requirements issue – it SHOULD be fine as far as I know. It was particularly bad when I was recording 5 channels of audio into the ProFire 2626. Like the previous issue, it halts the recording, and sometimes recurs. It may not happen with the Duet.
I may be imagining things, but I think it records fine indefinitely when I’m recording near-silence, i.e. not playing my drums. It almost seems as though the problem is triggered when I get particularly loud. Perhaps it’s clipping, I’ll have to check. Still, it shouldn’t cause an error that halts recording should it?
✖ Problem #3
This one only occurs with the ProFire. I get minor crackles and little bits of distortion and ugly tearing sounds in some channels occasionally. They each only last a fraction of a second, and usually aren’t particularly loud, but they spoil takes. Can occur during silent passages OR loud parts.
For the record, I typically record to WAV, 24-bit, 48KHz, with a 128 or 256 sample buffer, Medium Process Buffer Range, and Software Monitoring enabled. However, I have tried up to 1024 sample buffer, Large Process Buffer Range, 16-bit, 44.1KHz WAV, and turned off Software Monitoring – none of this made a difference.
So, if anyone thinks they can help me out here, please do so! I’ll greatly appreciate any input ☺
Cheers,
Chris

1. http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24535?viewlocale=en_USy
This problem points to a buffer that is set too low. Make it one step bigger, but leave the I/O safety buffer OFF.
also: you can disable the warning message.
2.
CAN also be buffer-related, but it may be the disk. Is it a 5400 or 7200 RPM disk?
It may also be that memory is too full. I would recommend installing Menumeters (freeware) http://www.pure-mac.com/diag.html#menumeters
You can monitor CPU-use, disk activity, memory use, paging activity and network activity with it.
Another thing to consider is to Freeze all Software Instrument tracks before recording. Also freeze heavily 'insert-pluginned' audio tracks. This may free up a lot of CPU power.
3. This problem might benefit from the above tips as well, but I think you can win the most by NOT using software monitoring when recording (for all three issues); it brings extra latency and puts much more strain on the CPU. Through which plugs do you monitor? And why?
I'ld recommend using the direct monitoring capabilities of both your interfaces, and avoid Software Monitoring when recording. Also being aware of what is going on (by using both Menumeters AND Logics' own CPU-meters) can be crucial - especially Paging (when active RAM is written to or read from disk) can disturb Logic, as well as background OS X applications that kick in during a session.
I also recommend turning off Journaling before a recording session. To do that, open *Disk Utility*, select the recording disk from its' list, hold down the ⌥ key and choose the menu *File>Disable Journaling*.
To turn it back on after recording, same actions, only now the menu item will say *Enable Journaling*.
regards, Erik.

Logic Pro Metering Issues

currently working on a song, snare drum channel meter infrequently will not register a snare hit eventhough audio is playing at that moment - this does not happen at the same point in the song each time....kinda weird, hope you may have some insight.
I've copied the audio region in question to another track, and I still get this same behavior
The source of the track was a compilation from a drum comp which was then flattened and merged to become one new track
Running MacBook pro i5 snow leopard
Thanks for any input!

Alrighty,
Erik, your method work, and I could record perfectly fine when I disabled software monitoring. I started a fresh project, and everything worked fine, and latency was workable with. However, I closed and open the project 30 mins later and back to sqaure one. I disabled software monitoring, and it works fine again.
Do you think my "returning to work" issue is more of Logic Pro been all derpy *****, or its my interface?

Logic Pro 9 issues

I recently had to re-install my LP 9, after having to install a new hard drive. It worked without having to use the serial number. (Because I lost the box). Anyway, today it asked for the serial number. Doesn't Apple usually keep info like that on file?

What happens when you try to open the folder containing the samples directly in the Finder? Does it open okay and display the samples?
It sounds like the directory structure of your external has become corrupted. That should also be evident if you navigate to any of the error producing folders in the Finder.
Have you tried the *Verify Disk* followed by the *Repair Disk* function in Disk Utility?

If that doesn't help, you may need DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro to repair that.

Logic Pro 9: Playhead/Playback/Audio Levels/Logic Pro X Issue, PLEASE HELP!

When I press play within the project, the playhead doesn't move from left to right with the audio like it should. As well as within the mix window, the audio levels are not displayed. However, when I click and hold within the arrange window, everything is fine and working properly, but I'm not going to be holding down the mouse the whole time I'm working on a project.
Does anybody have any sort of advice for me at all?
Also, if I were to buy Logic Pro X, would all of my projects currently running in Logic Pro 9 be able to open up in Logic Pro X? I also have the Waves Mercury Bundle, Vangard and Antares Auto-Tune, would all of those work with Logic Pro X?

Logic Pro Installation Issue

I recently had to wipe my MacBook and reinstall. When attempting to install Logic Pro, I am getting an error stating that the installation failed because there is no software found. The DVD is fine. What do i do now?

Retry, it worked for me!

Logic Pro Serial Issues

Recently purchased a new macbook pro. Transferred files over using migration asssistant. Now when i start up logic pro. It asks me for the "original serial number" the one i put in is not working. How do I fix this??
(Old Macbook was running on 10.5.8)
(Updated from logic 8 to 9.... 2 years ago.)

Check that you entered the number correctly, e.g. a zero and an Oh are different. Also make sure you enter the right serial number for this product, not an old one. And a last one, if everything else doesn't solve it: you might want to "google" you serial number, if it was stolen, Apple probably blocked it.

Roland TD4SX, Addictive Drums 1.5 and Logic Pro 9 issues

I have been using AD and Logic with my Roland Drum kit for a little while now and while the automatic mapping from kit to plugin is working for the most part, Logic seems to kill the midi coming from one of the pads (the middle tom 45(A2)) and I'm not sure why. It requires me to remap this pad to another midi key to get it to work. I could only assume that Logic has taken this midi key for its own use but I have no idea how to find out what it is mapped to and how to remove that mapping. Anyone know how to debug this issue?
I believe this is an issue with Logic specifically. The reason I know this is because that pad and the kit in its default mapping work perfectly in Ableton Live but not in Logic.

You might find that you have inadvertently 'learned' A2 as a controller assignment. Open the *Controller Assignments* window ⌘-K, and delete the learned message that is 90 39 Lo7 (A2).

Logic Pro 8 Issues

Im still using logic 8 right now, and I have had it for about two years now,but I am now getting this weird "System Overload Message" and also when I load it up, I have also gotten this weird message about my "DAE Folder" is missing. Does any one know how to fix these issues.
Thanks for your help....

Most of the NI Instruments don't run on Leopard because NI hasn't updated the drivers for them (check the NI website fort info, they say the update is due in Decembre...). The same counts for other 3rd party plugs so either you revert to 10.4.11 or wait for the new drivers.

Logic Pro - weird issue, lose all my work constantly

Hey guys.
I'm experiencing a really frustrating problem with logic (I have 9.1.7) that started occuring recently. It came before the logic software update though.
What happens is, after a while of working my logic will start showing weird glitchy graphics (cursors not displaying properly, white "flashes", scrolling looks weird etc) and when i click the menu line of logic (to save) down comes a totally white dropdown with no options. Even if i cmd + s or chose to save before exit - nothing happens, and i lose all my work. I'm not 100% sure about this as i dont recall every time i save (which i do quite often) but sometimes it seems like i loose a big part of my saved progress aswell. Like now, I've just been set back around 5 hours workwise which is a disaster, and I know for a fact i saved 58-9 times. Logic crashes without an error report.
What could this be? It's driving me nuts - this is my fulltime job and being set back 5 hours means i lose practically a whole days worth of work (meaning less time with family, and more time ripping my hair out)
Any help would be much appreciated!
(for the record, all my software is legal)

Not sure if this is exactly the same problem but you might want to take a look at this... although the support article references 10.6.8 it may pertain to 10.6.7 as well.
If you try it, follow the directions exactly.

Logic pro X CPU is off the chart since Yosemite

I'm having some Logic Pro X issues. The CPU usage is off the charts. CPU shows active when I'm not even playing a track. I have no other applications open. I have repaired permissions etc. It's so bad that the CPU spikes if I play just one track of audio, and Logic will show "system unable to play back.." error. This really is ridiculous. Should I go back to the previous version of OS X? I'm out of ideas. Strangely, somedays it works just fine. As soon as I think the problem has past, it starts up again. I definitely seems like some kind of CPU or memory issue. Any help would be appreciated. I know my system is a little light but I've never had these issues before upgrading to Yosemite. And no, I foolishly don't really use time machine, so that's not an option either.
Thanks,

At the moment, Yosemite and LPX is not a recommended combination.... Many people have reported the same behavior of 10.10 and 10.0.7 working fine one day and then it all falls apart the next....
Nothing much you can do as you didn't make backups... which means you can't easily roll back to a previous configuration...
So, your only two choices are
A) Manually backup your personal data/projects/photos/music etc... to an external HD and then wipe your System drive (assuming your recovery partition is still showing 10.9) and reinstall Mavericks from scratch... holding down Cmd + R at startup... Then reinstall LPX plus content plus any 3rd party plugins and libraries you use.
or...
B) Wait for a while (maybe quite a while) until Apple releases fixes for Yosemite and/orLPX to resolve these issues.... and put up with the current problems.
In the meantime, I suggest you start making backups using something like Time Machine or my preferred method which is using the HD cloning utility SuperDuper! as one day, you will need them.....

Not what you wanted to hear I'm sure.. but that's the current state of play.

Remove logic pro - keep logic pro x

I see that I have both Logic Pro and Logic Pro X on my Macbook Pro. Will deleting Logic Pro create issues when using Logic Pro X? If not, how do you delete it without messing up the X version? Thanks.

The actual app, in your Applications folder is tiny. You can simply put it into the trash and empty the trash. It will have no affect on the use of Logic X.
Similarly, because it is so small, there's no real harm in keeping the Logic 9 app in place in case you ever need to use it.
