Logic's EXPORT TRACK(S) feature is buggy. Anyone else noticing this?
I'm curious to know what Logic's "export track(s)" functions are specifically designed for. I say specifically because I can't quite pinpoint how they work exactly. Meaning, if a track has sends or sidechain processing etc etc those effects are NOT APPLIED to the exported track. Further, I've noticed static in a file (which doesn't have static in the mix) appear on an exported track, also I've experienced out of sync delays and other issues.
My first question is: has anyone else found the export track feature in Logic to be somewhat inefficient, and if so, have you found a suitable work around?
Second question: What is the Export tracks function specifically designed for? It's not designed to print certain effects on tracks and it doesn't apply any sends data either.
Please chime in with any thoughts. My personal workaround right now is to simply solo each track and bounce the project at the global level (for every individual track). I keep the output strip dry and it seems to be working fine so far (but quite tedious). I'm scratching my head to know what "export track(s)" is designed for.
Thanks!

I'm still unsure as to why you'd actually want to do this.
If you want to give your processed tracks to a mixing engineer, first thing he will do is ask, for the dry material, because, after all, you are paying him to create abetter mix with better procesing than you can.
If you want to save processing power or RAM, then use Freeze.
If you want to create processed tracks for riskfree playback in a live situation, you'd bounce stems anyway.
Also, the request for incorporated Sends does not make sense, as a send only carries dry, unprocessed sound anyway.

Well you are right about the "live situation" scenario. This is why I'd like a "bounce all individual tracks seperately" option. It would facilitate exporting tracks for remixing or performance in Ableton Live. It's a lot nicer to have every track as it sounds in a mix than to have groups or stems when remixing or performing.Right now it just takes a while to solo and bounce every track in a 40+ track project. I just think it would be a very useful function.

When I create a new track for Guitar it labels the track "Clean Combo" no matter which amp I select. Anyone else noticing this?
Look at it this way: there is no need to record that effect onto the audiofile. This is a great advantage of modern recording, and this is how most DAW's work by default. Just leave the plugin on when playing back.
Only for CPU management reasons it may be advantageous in certain situations to either freeze a track or bounce it in place (both techniques will render an audiofile that may include the effect). But in general it is a (very) good thing that it is possible to tweak any effect after recording, and have a clean, unprocessed recorded signal to work with. And if the effect was perfect at the time of recording, well, just leave the plugin(s) engaged.

ps: there is a way to record plugin effected signal live into the audiofile, but it involves creating a custom environment setup. -
Need some help.
Thanks. I added the supplemental and it looks like I may be back to normal here. I will have to fully check it out but Logic is opening up correctly and no weirdness so far.

When I export an AAF file/project from Protools 9 using an external drive and import the AAF into Logice Pro X the drum track does not play correctly. It is out of sync with the rest of the track. I created the drum loop as a plugin using Native Instruments Maschine. Has anyone else had this problem?? Also how would I go about exporting the midi tracks from the Protools session. The midi track does not show when the file is imported to Logic Pro X. The midi data should export with the AAF file correct??
Are you using any plugins in Logic?
In Preferences/Audio under the General tab, how do you have the plug-in-latency compensation set? -
Persistent Aggregates bug with logic - anyone else see this ?
A long while ago I posted a bug report regarding the use of aggregates with the Stealthplug guitar audio interface. I also reported this on the apple bug report system.
Basically, when using Logic8 with stealthplug and OSX Tiger ( latest 10.4 ) I configured an aggregate using AudioMIDI setup program, configuring Stealthplug as the input and the built in audio as the output.
When one creates an audio track with the aggregate name selected I Logic8
preferences INITIALLY one can get audio input to show up, the "record" button appears and one can hear audio output to the main macbook audio outputs. However on repeated use and selection/deseletion of the particular named aggregate one finds that the stealthplug input is no longer enabled ( the record button disappears).
I found out recently that if I delete the aggregate ( I only had one aggregate st up ) and create a NEW aggregate, this time with a different name, but with the same settings ( stealthplug as input, built in outputs as output ) then one can get the aggregate to work initially in logic8. However after a few sessions, or switching between audo devices in preferences, the aggregate again fails to work, by this i mean I no longer get the "R" button appearing in the channel strip for the input.
Stealthplug works fine when selected itself if one selects this as the device, but NOT when used through an aggregate. I suspect this is something to to do with aggregates and not stealthplug.
My suspicions is that it has something to do with the way logic8 or the CoreAudio system stores its aggregate preference information since I find that if I delete the original aggregate but recreate the same aggregate settings using a different name then the aggregate will work for a short time.
This really needs fixing since aggregates are potentially so useful.
Anyone else seen this with stealthplug or another audi interface ? is the Aggregates system just plain buggy? dos this problem go away in Leopard ?Well I can say that after installing updates to QuickTime is appears I have been having a lot of trouble with Aggregate Devices as well. I use 2 896HD MOTU interfaces and after a few sessions of Logic, the Aggregate device stops working. I can either (a) reset the computer, (b) sometimes reset the coreAudio driver (works rarely) or (c) create a new Aggregate device like you have and it all starts working again.
Even worse, some of my USB MIDI interfaces like the Fantom X7 just loose connection as well. If I remove the USB and then plug back in, it's recognized again immediately.
Something is seriously broken and I have NO clue where to begin to help fix it. The only thing I could do is re-install OSX 10.5 and not do the quicktime updates and see if that helps. Unfortunately, that is a LOT of work! (I use like 146 AU plugins total). -

In XI.
I can’t just export to word as I have done in the past in one simple click.
Convert to button is greyed out.
Now I have to save the pdf file on c drive when I am in outlook…then goto export pdf file…then find file then export to word.
I bought new computer with windows 8 (which is awful) and then bought pdf export again…
Any thoughts on how I can get back to one simple click again when I open a pdf file from an email in outlook?
Thank you,

Crossfades do not Work in Logic 9 (upgraded) - Anyone else having this prob
This started occurring after upgrading to Logic 9 (from 8) and before I put in Snow Leopard. If I copy a region to another place and then try to create a crossfade - first the region boundaries of the pasted-in region disappear (so I have to put the playhead where the front boundary should be so I know where to put the crossfade) -- I can put a crossfade there that way, but then the region which follows won't play (is muted, though no mute function appears). Also, I cannot create a crossfade on the right edge of the pasted-in region. This for sure happens if I use Command C/V to copy and paste int he g=region. Occasionally it works correctly if I option click drag (but even then it doesn't work all the time). I think this is a Logic 9 only problem. Anyone else encounter this??
MS3 is compatible with Logic Pro X's plugins and presets as per it's description....
MainStage 3 lets you take your Mac to the stage with a full-screen interface optimized for live performance, flexible hardware control, and a massive collection of plug-ins and sounds that are fully compatible with Logic Pro X.
MS3 also only uses 64bit versions of AU Pluginsas per its minimum specs.. just as LPX does.... whereas LP9 and MS2 could use 32 and 64bit versions...
Minimum System Requirements
4GB of RAM
Display with 1280-by-768 resolution or higher
OS X v10.8.4 or later
Requires 64-bit Audio Units plug-ins
Minimum 5GB of disk space (35GB of optional content available via in-app download)
It's kind of like why you can convert projects from LP9 to LPX but not from LPX to LP9.....
MS3 is desgined to work with and utilize LPX's sounds/instruments/patches etc.. and not LP9s.....
Finally, as an aside.. please note, this forum is not how you contact Apple...
Please read the following info to understand why this is so....

Anyone else had this issue when installing the downloaded Logic Pro 9 app?
How long does this normally take to install? I purchased the Logic Pro 9 app coming close to 72 hours ago now and every since the iMac has been firstly downloading and now installing the content on its own. What's odd, is that it seems to have been stuck on the same process now for close to 24 hours which is 'Installing Logic Pro & Mainstage Essential Content'
Surely the install doesn't take this long?
My computer specs are:
21.5" iMac: 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo // 4GB RAM
Logic Pro 9.1.7
Do you think there is a risk of doing a computer restart and interuppting the 'install' - presuming thats what is still happening? The progress bar is moving but there's no estimated time showing on its completion. Ive tried, and i am however able to open Logic Pro and use instruments etc.Oh dear - it really shouldn't take so long, but of course it depends on your broadband connection. If I remember rightly, the first download of the 'essential content' took about 40 minutes over my cable connection, which is faster and more reliable than ADSL here in the UK, although I don't pay megabucks for the fastest service.
Don't try and load everything at once - one package at a time - and if it appears to have come to a halt, it should resume the download rather than starting over (it did in my experience). You need to keep a pretty regular eye on the download status - setting it to download the entire content and expecting it to have all finished when you go back to it later may be a bit unrealistic.
There aren't any magical solutions to any of this as far as I can see, I'm afraid - if you're really out of luck, you can sign into the App Store and download the .dmg files to a computer with a faster connection, if you have access to such a thing. -
IMovie for iOS 2.0 export doesn't work. Anyone else have this problem and how do you fix it?
It seems that I can export projects that are very short (less than a minute) but anything longer than that simply shows the export progress bar and then never makes any progress. I've left it sitting there for an hour and it never moved. This also means I can't upload anything to YouTube. It was working fine last week when I exported a five minute video in 1080p, but now I can't even export a three minute video in the lowest quality option.
I'm using iMovie 2.0 on my iPad and iPhone and the issue is present on both devices, even though it was working fine last week.
I have already uninstalled the application, reinstalled it, and it still won't export any of my projects.
Oh, and Apple removed the ability to open iMovie iOS projects in iMovie for Mac because that feature made way too much sense.
Apple case number 536054629Then you should provide the information requested by lllaass so that people have information on which to base a diagnosis. I'd suggest you start a new topic with your issue (use the "Start a discussion" link under the Actions header at the upper-right of each main topic page). It's generally better to ask a question as a new topic rather than as a reply in someone else's thread. It's more courteous to the original poster, and is more likely to get your question the attention it deserves.

Logic keeps crashing when I change the tempo of the song. Anyone else having this issue?
I made my song too slow, and now I want to speed up the software instruments and redo vocals and guitar.. I speed the tempo up from 101bpm's to 120bpm's and it crashes. I can usually play the song a time or two before it crashes but if I speed it over 120bpm's it crashes instantly. I set my I/O buffer size to 1024 and still have the problem.... any suggestions? or do they just need to make another patch?
I figured out how to fix the issue for anyone who cares. Basically I exported all of the tracks in my project to a new project and there were no more glitches. in order to not have issues with this problem again I'm going to re-record vocals and guitar at the faster bpm of 120 instead of the previous 101. I think slowing down and speeding up audio tracks is harder on the cpu than just instruments from the program. It seems to be working fine now.

Can anyone tell me what they think might be happening here with UPS?
Is it because it takes a while for UPS to get the tracking number on the system...?
It's a bit stupid to provide a tracking number so soon, if tracking isn't even available yet. Doesn't make sense!
Maybe I am too impatient, but who isn't, right? :-)Yeah im in the exact same position, apple said it's shipped and showed tracking numbers on their website but the ones I saw were invalid tracking numbers for UPS(10 characters), I then phoned Apple and the lady their gave me the actual tracking number(18 characters) which was a pre-signed number meaning it had not been activated on the UPS system, she said wait till tomorrow(20th) or Friday morning and it will be activated.
I'm personally pretty sure it will be activated sometime tomorrow. -
Anyone else notice the bug in the "Blend RGB Colors Using Gamma" feature in Photoshop?
I think there's a bug in the "Blend RGB Colors Using Gamma" feature in Edit>Color Settings>Advanced Controls. For some reason it doesn't apply to layer styles.
Ok, here are two images. They both have a text layer with an outer glow (100% opacity pure green, normal blending mode) and a feathered green brush stroke (normal blending mode) over a red background. The first image is in RGB 8 bit (ie non-linear) image color mode. The second image is in RGB 32 bit (ie linear) image color mode. You can see how the 32 bit mode image (second image) has proper blending of the green glow onto the red background in both the text layer style as well as the brush stroke, while the 8-bit image properly blends the brush stroke but fails to blend the layer style using linear gamma (aka 1.0). In both screenshots you can see that PS is set to "Blend RGB Using 1.0 Gamma".
I'm assuming this is a bug? -
"thinkpad video features" update fails and breaks machine. Anyone else got this?
The update is "thinkpad video features [...Quadro 1000M/2000M Optimus] for Windows 7 64" version 8.17.12.7593/8.15.10.2538.
It failed (gave an error message during install allong the lines of "update failed").
After this, I could not play any Direct-X games.
It also killed my color-munki profiler, so the colours are now completely off. I resinstalled the color-munki, reprofiled and im more or less back to where I started, but without the update.
Does anyone know one rolls back, or re-applies an upate? The failed update is no-longer appearing in the new upate list.
I was hoping the update would fix some of the external monitor problems, where it randomly will not expand to a second monitor, or the internal monitors reoslution gets stuck at some low res for no apparent reason, wakeup "loses" the monitor and switches back to internal only etc.I've had that software installed for a long time (it was released back in November), and it is trouble-free.
If you have only recently attempted to install it, go to 'Control Panel', select 'System', at the upper left corner of the screen click on 'System Protection', then roll back the system state to a date and time prior to when you installed the driver.
In the future, I recommend that you use ONLY the Lenovo System Update application to fetch and install updates. You have created too many problems for yourself over the past couple of months trying to install drivers on your own.

Have created a document in Pages and am trying to export to Word, when I do this I get the message "an unknown error occurred" anyone got a solution to this?
This is an old thread, so you have probably given up, but the problem is relatively easily solved. The issue is apparently bad or corrup, or missing fonts.
You can try to chase that down, but it is faster to simply try deleting half the document and exporting again. If that works, restore the deltion and delete half of that section. Keep doing this systematically until you have located the part of the document causing the problem. Often it is something pasted in from another document.
You can then export most of the document and then copy and paste the remaining bits over into Word.
This works with Keynote, too, where often the issue is just one slide.
Good luck!
