Logic pro 9 Instrument issues/ weird sound occurring!!

Hi guys,
I need some help here, I think I have a big issues here with my logic instruments. I just installed Logic pro 9 about a week ago, it's working fine until...
today when I load some of the Logic instruments (such as EFM 1 Synth, ES2, ES2 syth, or any other sytnh) from the library, there're some kind of strange/weird sound, kind of growling synth sound going on (weeeewww gurrrrrrrrt!), the volume level is also peaking out because of it. I still could play the instruments, but the weird growling sound doesn't stop, & the volume peak out even more!. the only logic instruments that works fine are Evb3 tonewheel organ, Utrabeat & Ev88 Electric piano.
Same things happen with most of my ESX24 instruments ( such as pop horns, guitar, orchestral, etc) weird growling sound (wew grrrrt).
Does anyone know what's happening???
Thank you

Hi Eriksimon,
Yes, indeed the noise stop when I bypass the instrument.
Yes the noise seems to have a steady defined pitch & the character of the noise is the same as the affected instruments.
No I haven't try to load different presets at that time (it freaks me out already!)
No I don't think I've made any tweaks/ adaptation to the environment (could you give me example?).
*But Just now, at this moment, I just try to open & run my Logic 9 again & load the problematic instruments, The Noise's gone, I tried every instrument that has that noise problem (try different presets now) , it works fine, the noise gone (it surprise me). BUT STILL I'm afraid that this noise will occur again.
Do you have any idea ?,
Thank you

You should take it to an Apple store or an AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) Carefully inspect the hinge joint and make sure there is no debris that you can see, you can try carefully sliding some sticky tape thru the joint to clear any loose stuff out. But this sounds like there might be more going on here, and the hinge is something that you do not want to fool with.

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 X - an error has occurred

Hi,
I bought the new LPX yesterday, started downloading and left my MBP. When I got back I had a message saying "Can not get Logic Pro X". Among my programs in App Store I find LPX and after that it says in red letters "An error has occurred" (well, in Swedish). When I click install it says "650 MB of 650 MB - 1 minute", but then the same message comes back. "Can not get Logic Pro X". I also bought MainStage and that is working fine. I can find LPX among my programs but the file is only 351K...
Any solutions?

Having struggled with this over some days, I tried safe mode. It worked. Good tip!

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 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?

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?

Wait a while (depending on how fast or slow your internet connection is..)

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.

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.

How do I get my 3rd party instruments to show up in my Logic Pro instrument library?

I have purchased and downloaded orchestra instrument libraries from Albion. How do I get them to show up in my instrument library so they can be used?

Hi
If you mean the Spitfire Albion series (?) these run within Kontakt.
Most 3rd party plugins do not directly support the Logic Library, so you would need to manually load in the plugin and any setting within the plug itself.
You can then save that as a "Logic" Setting or Patch, which will show up in the Library.
There is a large collection of Logic Settings for many 3rd party plugs over at LogicProHelp.com

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).

Are there any plans from Apple to port Sculpture and other Logic Pro instruments as iPad standalone synths to iOS?

Now that the iPad is getting faster CPUs, you should consider doing it.
With Inter-App audio, and Audiobus going to a 2.0 soon, I really can't imagine why you are taking so long to do this.
Maybe someone from Apple can give me some good news here?

This is a user only forum, no one from Apple will read or reply to your post.
Also, I've never known Apple to let the public know what they're working on, ever!
You could join the Devs forum and make the request over there, uses the same Apple I.D.
