Logic X Tracks Mute Randomly

I have a very unique problem, that said because I've found no other forums that have helped me.
My instrument tracks will mute for absolutely no reason, it seems. Whether adjusting an oscillator, opening the digital keyboard, or even moving a plugin window, tracks will mute themselves at the slightest disturbance. I have no idea why. I've already tried remapping the mute button and it did nothing. I have nothing else plugged into my computer, just my computer, mouse, and headphones which all work fine using any other application. I need help because my DAW is now almost unworkable.
Thank you!

Firstly, Logic just doesn't randomly mute tracks.... so something has to be triggering the mutes. It's just a matter of working out what...
1st step is to delete both the User prefs and CS plist.... and test...
Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove ~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
Restart the computer.
2nd thing that comes to mind is... Do you use an iPhone or iPad and have you used either as a midi device or remote controller for Logic as that can cause issues if you didn't correctly quit the apps on these devices... To test, power down all iOS devices (Not just put the sleep) restart Logic and test.....

Sorry if i wasn't more clear but was that response needed?No it wasn't needed, but I'm not the one asking for help so I have the luxury of not worrying too much about it. It's extremely frustrating trying to drag relevant information out of someone, and makes one less inclined to bother.
Anyways, there's still nothing in this thread that actually explicitly says "there is a file called VolcanoApp.java in the directory where I'm running javac from" and I really can't be bothered banging my head against the wall any longer. You've made a silly mistake, or a false assumption. We all do it from time to time. My advice is, take a break, go for a walk and re-visit this in a while. You'll probably spot the mistake right away.

I Pod Touch plays music tracks in random order...?

My i-Pod Touch will only play music tracks in random order - permanant shuffle and pressing the "crossed lines" icon does appears to do nothing, other than make it play... in random order! I've factory re-set and re-installed twice and this has made no difference at all. Can any one help or have any suggested fixes?
Thank you!

If you press now playing it will show up with that screen with were the son is at in terms on mins and the play button and all that stuff but just under the time thing there are these little things and one may be orange click that tell the orange is gone that should help if u understand what I'm saying hop that help

Why does my mouse tracking speed randomly shift to the slowest level?

Since I downloaded Mavericks OSX 10.9.3, my mouse tracking speed randomly shifts to the slowest speed. Is there a way to change this?

If it's a wired mouse, check the battery level in System Preferences > Mouse often.
If it's USB, try a another USB port to test.

I am working on a friend of mine's 15g ipod(W/dock connector)and I am having the same trouble except it does it to all the songs. I have tried reseting it multiple times, but to no avail.
I am not sure that this runs on windows XP, it is absolutly archaic (compared to my 5th gen. 30g video).

Logic Pro 8 mutes newly recorded tracks and won't play back until reload...

Seems like this has happened within the last couple of months. When I record audio in Logic and try to play it back, it won't play the audio. The arrange window shows it is there and the regions do NOT show that they are muted (nor does the channel strip). In essence, it acts as if it is muted, but there are no signs that it is. (I even select the regions and mute then unmute them, and mute and unmute the channel strip, but nothing changes. Still no audio.)
So I have to close the project and reopen it. When I reopen it, every region in the previous recording session (audio) is greyed out (muted) in the arrange window. Once I select them and unmute them, they play back perfectly.
This is a very weird situation. Anybody have any ideas about what the issue is?
Thank you!

A lot of people have reported this, and it happens to me pretty frequently. Gotta be a known bug, but of course since Apple is always mum about this stuff with absolutely no communication to its customers, we won't know until the next version of Logic is released.

Certain tracks assiging random MIDI channels to notes

Well, not exactly random. With some consistency, when I record on certain -- but not all -- EXS24 instrument tracks, the recorded notes take on MIDI channel assignments other than the channel on which they were transmitted (by various elimination processes, I've confirmed that the problem is NOT with my controller keyboard). Moreover, notes that lie within the upper octave (e.g., the keyswitch octaves for low register instruments) take on the correct transmitted MIDI channel –- channel 1 -– but all other notes will appear assigned to MIDI channels such as 5, 9 and 13.
Deleting the offending audio object from the environment, then restoring it or recreating it, solves the problem for an individual Logic session, but (I think) upon reboot the phenomenon recurs.
Anyone every heard of or experienced anything like this. Solution?

Thanks for taking a look.
To answer your most immediate question, my transport verifies that I am transmitting on channel 1. Likewise when I set the controller to transmit on channel 2, it confirms receipt of data on channel 2. No effect on result. That is, funny funny MIDI jumping occurs. Ha. Not.
When you say "a ton of tracks", are you seeing more than the 7 tracks that I've preserved in the arrange window? There are indeed a ton of instrument objects, but I've deleted most of the tracks. If you're seeing more than 7, then we've got another layer in this mystery.
If you expand the view of the arrange window, you'll notice that the regions have names that indicate the origin of the data they contain. I originally suspect this had something to do with routing, hence the region name references to output assignments (e.g., bus 9 = ch 1). Later I realized out assignments had no effects on the process. At measure 40, you can see the ascending MIDI channels, with the arithmetic pattern continuing uninterrupted as I changed instruments.
See especially the "snare and new snare" track, where the data at first recorded in accord with the channel jumping, and where, after the assigned audio object was deleted then recreated, the data recorded on the correct channel. This phenomenon, by the way, rules out the controller keyboard as the source of the trouble.
Further confirming that the controller is not the problem is the fact that this weird MIDI channel arithmetic game does not occur in new sessions called up from a different template. There is something wrong with the file.
When you got MIDI channel 1, you might have been on the "fixed tracks" – "snare" and "EVB3". Try "bassi", among others. Meanwhile I've noticed another clue (if indeed there exists a decipherable cause): when I set my controller to transmit on channel 2 instead of channel one, all data records
By the way, does the EVB3 play for you? Not for me (but see my previous post about this little oddity).

After using apogee duet, mac's built in mic & logic's track headers for recording are not working properly. How do I fix it?

I use logic 9
After using apogee duet for mac, I was away from my home studio without the duet and wanted to record vocals via the internal microphone on my mac book pro. (Obviously, I know it wouldn’t be the same quality. I wanted to do it as a draft, because I had a melody in my head and wanted to record it so I could remember it later.)
After opening up a project I was unable to record audio. I noticed the track headers had changed. Sometimes the “record ready” button was missing. But whether it was there or wasn’t, the same thing kept happening… After pressing the “record button” or the “record ready” button a window would pop up that said, “No input source selected!” I tried to trouble shoot by configuring track header and by going to prefereces>audio>devices>core audio, and switched the “input device” to “built in microphone,” and things like that, but I still would get the same pop up window indicating “no input source selected.” To be thorough, in preferences under “core audio,” I have selected universal track mode, 24 bit recording, and software monitoring.
Do I need to reset something?
If your recommendations help fix the immediate issue temporarily, how do I keep it from reverting back to the same problem if I feel like switching between the duet interface and the built in mic in the future? How do I keep it permanently from this malfunction? It seems like this is something simple that would be addressed.
Also, as I was trying to think of anything it could possibly be. I wonder if it could be the driver I installed for an old m-box2 possibly causing an issue. After getting my new mac book pro, I downloaded a driver for m-box2 (the second generation that came out in 2005 and used pro tools LE.) I used the m-box on my previous computer and it worked well. Since I purchased a new macbook, I tried to use it on my new computer, but since the m-box2 is a 32 bit system, it didn’t work very well, which is why I got the duet. I don’t know if that could possibly be messing anything up. If so, should I uninstall it somehow?
Thanks

Ok, think this through... you've changed from a stereo source to a mono source.
The message reads: “No input source selected!”
On the track you're trying to record there is an Input section directly underneath the I/O label. Click and hold to select the correct Input for that track.
Also, the project you opened was saved with the Duet's driver/interface parameters.. if you open the same project without the audio interface Logic will do it's best to pick I/O that's compatible but I've never seen any DAW do this perfectly.. it always takes a small amount of user input. Especially since you've changed from the Apogee to the internal mic.

Entire System Audio mutes randomly while working in Premiere

Hi everyone
Just recently switched over to Premiere Pro CS6 at my office. I'm an editor for a web video production company and so far I've been having quite a few problems with Premiere.
The biggest issue is that randomly, maybe 10 times a day, the audio for my entire system will drop out while editing in Premiere. At first I was resorting to doing full restarts of my computer and the problem would fix itself, but now I've discovered that if I go into "Activity Monitor," search for "coreaudiod" and then force restart that activity, the audio will reset itself for the system, but not Premiere. I still have to then restart premiere to get the audio working again in my project.
I've seen other people mention similar issues but I have yet to find a solution. Can anyone help? Thanks so much.
Here are my computer specs:
iMac
27-inch, Mid 2011
Processor 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)
Adobe Premiere Pro CS6
v. 6.0.2

I've worked on two projects so far and it's happened both times. The first project was using ProRes source footage and then outside video assets were brought in that were H264.
Now I'm working on a project that is using Canon DSLR H.264 native footage and video assets that are in H264 and a few that are XDCAM EX.
Also using many still images but it seems as though it will happen randomly when I load a video clip into the Source window. The video clip will play with audio in the source monitor, but then when I bring it into the timeline this is when the entire system audio will drop out and mute entirely.

Track volumes randomly change

While working in GarageBand at random times using my MIDI controller, I'll noticed the volume on a track not currently in use either raises or lowers in volume. It's almost as if a ghost is controlling it. Why is this?

it sounds like you have a volume curve for the track, click the down arrow in the header to see if it's turned on.

Can we have the Logic 6 track mixer GUI in Logic Pro 7?

anyone have a clue about this? particularly in the track mixer, something I am (and I'm sure many people are) watching constantly, I find the latest Logic Pro 7 color scheme very dull and often hard to read. Other day I opened up one of my old Logic 6xx apps using an old song of that time, and the color of the track mixer, I found, was much brighter and legible. I'm probably chasing rainbows, but does anyone know any way that we can get this coloring back in Logic Pro 7? many thanks!

People have this problem all the time and every time it's that the app's hame has been changed or it has been moved from the Applications folder. Make sure it's "Logic Pro.app", no extra spaces or characters.

Logic Pro Midi Keyboard Randomly Stops

Hi, I am fairly new to Logic Pro 9 and music composition software in general. I have a Yamaha P85 keyboard that I am using with Logic. I use an E-MU midi 2x2 to hook it up to my computer (imac 2011). The keyboard has a midi in/out slots where I have a midi cable in the midi OUT slot. It connects to my E-MU midi device in the midi IN slot. A usb cable connects the midi device to my computer. The keyboard is recognized in my computer MIDI settings and works in Logic Pro. The problem is when im recording in logic or just playing, the keyboard will randomly stop for a few seconds (no sound when I hit keys) and nothing will be recorded during this period (if I'm recording). After 1-5 seconds the keyboard will work again. This happens randomly even when I'm not recording in Logic. Another problem is sometimes, also randomly, a note will be held (sustained) when I'm not holding down the key. Again, this happens in Logic whether I'm recording or not. I have searched a lot online and read many forums, but I cannot find an answer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

So yes I am playing on the virtual instruments. No separate audio device. I have external speakers plugged into my computer so when I play my keyboard through Logic, sound comes out of my computer external speakers and not the keyboard speakers(I turn the keyboard volume off). The problem I described happens for the various virtual instruments I have tried, strings, woodwinds, pianos etc. In the Logic audio settings it says
Output Device: Built in Output
Input Device: Built in Microphone
I/O Buffer Size: 256 samples
When I say the keyboard stops, I mean no sound comes out of my computer speakers for a few seconds. It is as if someone turns the keyboard off for a few seconds and then back on. This happens in Logic when Im trying out different virtual instruments. You are correct when saying it happens only when Logic is running whether I am recording MIDI or just playing and NOT recording. I hope that makes sense. It wouldn't be such a huge problem, but it happens so often it makes it hard to play or record something thats longer than 10 seconds. Thanks for the help.

Logic Pro Tracking

i want to track my voice section by section. so what i do first is track the verse then the next. but i want to do it on the same track and also i want to hear my previous recording/region so i can get a proper queue.
to be exact, below is my workflow:
first i arm a track for recording, record my 1st verse.
Then I take a breather,
then I want to record my chorus on the same track, so i arm the same track to record my chorus section.
I don't hear my prior recorded verse. I want to hear it so that I can get my cue as to when to enter the song.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks guys for the suggestion!
regards,
Mon

Try to read this first:
>Logic Pro 9 User Manual: Using the Input Monitoring Buttons Before Recording

and then, if you're still in doubt, ask for further advice and we'll help.
