Major files missing in Logic Pro X

Whilst making a track I decided to save my work before playing what I had created; but when it came to playing it there was no sound. I chose to quit the program and open the application again when it asked me to search for missing files, it did this for every audio file on the programme. When I loaded up my project again there was still no sound being produced. I went to check why no sound was being produced and it turns out that all of my instruments, synthesisers, samples, mp3 files, etc had gone missing. I have no idea where these files are right now as I can't find them in finder. Any help to locate these files and restore my projects / logic pro x would be much appreciated.
(I checked whether I had to install the sounds again but it says that I have already installed them)
Thanks : )

Hi Erik!
Is it me or has there recently been a sudden increase in this sort of problem (Where some people are finding that Core Audio deselects itself for some reason)?
Any idea of what might be causing this as I'm not seeing such behavior here.... and Im having a heck of a time trying to recreate it?
Cheers..

EXS File missing in Logic Pro 9: Unisyncl.wav and Unisynch.wav

Hi to everybody!
I just installed logic pro 9 and this is my first experience with logic.
Using it I noticed that some files are missing. These files are: Unisyncl.wav and Unisynch.wav.
Searching the internet I discovered that those files belong to logic 8 and are located in the folder:
/Library/Application Support/Logic/EXS Factory Samples/05 Synthesizers/04 Sequence Elements/Spectrum Stack 01/UniSyncH.wav
/Library/Application Support/Logic/EXS Factory Samples/Analog Samples/Spectrum SQ/UniSyncH.wav
Please someone can send me them by mail or internet hosting service?
My mail is: [email protected]
Really thanks to all

Yes, I have them - both samples are in both folders:-
/Library/Application Support/Logic/EXS Factory Samples/05 Synthesizers/04 Sequence Elements/Spectrum Stack 01/UniSyncH.wav
and
/Library/Application Support/Logic/EXS Factory Samples/Analog Samples/Spectrum SQ/UniSyncH.wav
These are on the LP8 content disks but not on the LP9 content disks, strangely enough.
These will be only up for a short time as technically it's Apple content. I'm doing this to help you out as you're probably more than a little frustrated. Please post back when you have downloaded them.

Help me find my Garageband Insturments Missing in Logic Pro

I recently moved my Garageband instruments to a different hard drive.
Now when I try to open them in Logic Pro, the default instrument loads but when I try to load other patch, I get a message saying "Missing: (whatever instrument I try to load)" .
I suspect this has something to do with the directory path in the preference file the for Logic Pro.
I know how to open the preference file but I don't know how to edit it and what to edit.
Can anyone help ?
Also is another way to fix the problem ?
Thanks
Greg

Sorry for the sample post

Keep getting message pop up "Error reading/writing file "com.apple.logic.pro.cs": Logical end-of-file reached during read operation," and "The Preferences are not loaded completely. Save them to "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" anyway?" Using Logic pro 8. ???

Logic froze while I was working on something so I forced quit. Now every time I open LOGIC a message pops up that says:
"Error reading/writing file
“com.apple.logic.pro.cs”:
Logical end-of-file reached during read operation."
The only button option is cancel so I press it and another message appears that says:
"The Preferences are not loaded completely.
Do not save them, as you would overwrite the Preferences file with incomplete data."
Then when i close logic a box appears saying:
"The Preferences are not loaded completely.
Save them to "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" anyway?"
There are 3 button options to press; ok, cancel or dont save.
I press "don’t save" cuz I don't want to ruin anything.
I found a discussion located here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/9564253#9564253 that says if I delete the file "com.apple.logic.pro.cs" it will resolve the problem. If I do this will I loose or mess anything up at all, automation, saved channel strips customizations, saved effects, synth, or ultrabeat customizations etc? Or especially will I loose any work I've done? I have hundreds pieces of music files I've created. I'm scared to mess anything up with all the hours and months of work I've done. Is there anyway to fix this without loosing anything? I'm using Logic Pro 8.
Thank you

You can safely delete this file - its the preference file for control surface settings - you haven't said whether you're actually using a control surface or not, if so, you will have to set it up again. A new file will be created when you fire Logic up again, but of course it will contain default settings. If you have a complicated control surface setup, remember to keep a backup copy somewhere in case any future problems arise.
Other than that, you really have nothing to be scared about - hopefully your problem is as simple as that and there isn't an underlying problem (a corrupt hard drive, for example). You seem concerned about losing work, so I guess you want to think about backing that up on a regular basis too. If you're saving your projects to your system drive, do get an external one for this. And also check that you have plent of free space on your system drive - you need to keep about a quarter or third of it free for your OS and programs to run properly (some temporarily stored files can be quite large).

Opening old OS 9 WaveBurner 2 files in Waveburner (Logic Pro 8 version)

Okay, so here's a very esoteric question that I cannot seem to get an answer for. I went to the Mac store in Glendale, CA and three of their techs could not help. I also don't see the question addressed on this forum, probably because it's so old/odd.
Anyway, I have dozens of old files from my days using WaveBurner Pro 2.1 on an old G4 with OS 9.2.2. I still have the tower and keep it soley for accessing these old files, which are fine on that system.
BUT, I would like to access all of these old files from my new MacBook Pro with OS 10.5.2. So I am contemplating buying Logic Pro 8, which is the only way to get access to WaveBurner for OS X.
The WaveBurner user Manual that accompanies Logic Pro 8 says on pg. 26:
"You can open old WB 2 (Mac OS 9) documents in WaveBurner 1.5. When opening
such a document, the document format will be converted to the WaveBurner version
1.5 format. When saving this document for the first time, a file selector dialog will be opened, so that the old document will not be overwritten automatically. Once saved in version WB 1.5"
I was excited to read this and decided to test it if is true. I dumped a few of my old OS 9/WB2 files to a flash drive and took them to the Mac Store to try opening them on their station from within WaveBurner 1.5 on OS X. NO LUCK.
Their techs could not figure it out, the system could not recognize the files because they read as Unix, and despite changing the extensions and trying every trick to open the old WB2 files, nothing worked. My old WB2 files were there, but the WaveBurner 1.5 app would not recognize or open them.
OS X also won't open my ".snd" files (which form the tracks for the WB2 mixes), unless I change their extension to ".aiff".
Does anybody know if it is possible to access these old WB2 files in OS X? I assume there must be a way, because the manual says it's possible and I'd like to believe that's true. But I followed their instructions and tried everything I know as well, and nothing works. Am I just missing something?
Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated. If I cannot get this to work, then I may not buy Logic, since a big motivator for me is to get access to WaveBurner and still be able to work with my old files on my new laptop with OS X.
Thank you!

I upgraded from a G5 dual/Logic 8 to a Mac Mini Server/Logic 9 earlier this year without any problems. There are far too many loops to be able to provide an answer to that particular question, but I would point out that some people have found the odd loops missing from the downloaded content (myself included, although I don't use them much and it wasn't that important to me), so I guess the sensible option would be to back up the ones you use, or back up the whole lot, if that's easier ( if you're not keeping your old machine).

Help file error in Logic Pro 9.2

Since moving to 9.2 from 9.1, the "Help>Logic Pro Help" menu option doesn't properly link to the help file. Here's the error message:
"The operation couldn’t be completed. (HVURLHandlerErrorDomain error 1003.)"

Since there is no Logic 9.2 out yet, I see how you would have a problem.

File structure of logic pro/studio

hi
can someone explain the file structure of logic studio/logic pro please?
(on the pc, most things were in the for example: emagic folder in program files).
is there an equivalent of program files folder on mac? where i can explore apps
would logic pro install into one folder? nice and simple?
would it be ok to install logic pro all on internal system drive (macbook).
or external hard drive essential?
does logic pro require 2 hard drives? one for installation and one for audio data/recording onto?
thanks

*Logic Pro itself will be installed in the application folder - just the app itself
*Additional Content like Loops - IRs for Space Designer or Plug In components and Presets for 3rd party Plug Ins will be installed in HD/Library/Audio/
and
*HD/Application Support/Logic (Channel Strip settings/EXS Factory Samples and Instruments/KCs/Templates/Ultrabeat samples/Tuning tables and so on)
For your own presets and channelstrip settings the same folder will be created in your Useraccount.
You can install all the Jam Packs and Loops on an external drive during the installation process when you have a Desktop computer. On a Laptop you'll have to install it to your system drive first and then move it to an external
which leads me to your next question
*Yes it is very much advisable (but not a "must") to run Samples/Loops from an external drive and if you're recording a lot of Audio then get another external for the Audio files. Daisy chaining FW drives works well, getting an additional eSATA drive with an adaptor card will give you an additional port and is a good solution

Apogee Duet control panel - missing in Logic Pro X

Hey Guys
I'm asking on behalf of a friend who uses Logic in his home studio...
He has recently updated from Logic Pro 9 to LPX, and has noticed that the Apogee control panel that is integrated in Logic seems to be missing.
Does anyone know whether this has been removed permanently, or whether a driver update is required from Apogee?
Cheers and thanks in advance!
Mike

Updated:
There are new drivers now up on Apogee's website that are supposed to provide LPX compatibility

Attempt to access files shuts down logic pro

Hi,
I'm trying to open a file with logic Pro That used to open but now when i try to open it, it shuts down logic instantly!
The file is on a firewire drive but there are other files on that drive that give me no problems!
I copied the file to my system drive and simply tried to open the file and it seemed to freeze my mac finder and cleared my desk top for a moment only the file still did not open. Only a finder window showing my drives.
In the file are some audio file and the logic song that they are associated with.
Does anyone know what this could be ??...
Thanks!

Itunes doesn´t import and play PCM 5.1 audio files bounced by Logic Pro X

Hello Evebody!
I use to make many surround mix in logic pro X, and it bounces a PCM 5.1 surround files (.wav)
How I need to organize and Play this mix the itunes should be the best software to do it, however
Itunes don´t reconize this .wav file when I try to drag on its list. The preview by space bar plays the
surround very well the QuickTime as well but Itunes do not accept this kind of file.
If someone knows how to help me with this issue please let me know. I read that itunes accept DTS 5.1 formats
but I want play only the audio file not a movie track.
Thank´s
Paulo

Fool Of God, thanks much! I will give this a try. Man, if it's not one thing it's another! I love Apple, but if they keep breaking things, they're going to help Microsoft!
**UPDATE** This work-around did work for me as well, and you're right Fool Of God, makes NO sense at all. The M4A file is 83 MB while the MP3 is only 63. So it has to be a glitch with importing MP3's of any size. Seems that 50MB is the limit. Thanks again, you saved my day!

Plugins shown missing in Logic pro x when they are there ....Plz help

I installed Melodyne when I just had Garageband....it worked
when I installed Logic pro 9 ....Melodyne stopped loading, I installed vanguard at this stage
When I installed Logic pro X .....error for both Melodyne and Vanguard was --> plugins not on your computer...now both melodyne and vanguard are missing plugins according to Logic pro x but it can't be as both these softwares work in Garageband or Logic pro 9...plz help .....

Additional Info:
As there is a common misunderstanding about VST plugins.....
JBridgeM... which is the Mac version of JBridge.... is only for converting Mac 32 bit VST plugins to Mac 64bit VST plugins.. so they can be used in a 64bit Mac DAW that uses VST plugins.. An example would be Live 9 64bit for Mac
It does not convert Windows/PC VST plugins... so you can use them on a Mac running OS X.....
JBridge for Windows... only converts Windows 32bit VST plugins for use in Windows 64bit DAWs.... and so again this will not work on Macs running OS X
...and to answer your question about older projects that used Vanguard and 32 Lives.... Yes, it would work automatically... when you load one of those older projects

3rd party plugins are missing in logic pro x

only a quarter of my plugins are showing up in logic pro x any idea why & how i can get them 2 show up? cause they all work in logic express 9 except for a few that stopped working since i installed maverick osx. any help to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

It's not because they are outdated 32-bit AudioUnits and Logic Pro X is a 64-bit application?

East West plugins missing in Logic Pro

I have been to East Wests site to get the mac installer for EWQL Gold. I installed it making sure to install the AU. I opened the stand alone version which works no problem. Then Iopened Logic Pro 8 and the EWQL Gold is not there. All my other Plugins are showing up.

Since they are still working on their new long delayed stormdrum and piano libraries, I suspect it could still be months before they release the PLAY version of EWQLSO.
While EW doesn't develop the kompakt player, it is their fault that over two years after the first intel boxes shipped, they are selling software that isn't intel compatible. And they weren't forced to develop their own plugin, they had the option of converting their libraries to a newer version of kompakt/kontakt months ago but decided against it.
Their libraries are good, but I strongly disagree that their support is "spot on". They have been promising intel support for a year and a half, and have yet to deliver. Their latest libraries (with the new plugin) still have a number of bugs months after release. And everything they have released in the past year has been months late, including their last two new PLAY libraries, which were supposed to ship I think April, and still aren't out.
And don't even get me started on the way they run their company. They have made MANY promises to customers about support and compatibility in order to sell libraries, and then not only gone back on those promises, but flat out lied and denied that info was ever on their website. If people think the censorship on this board is bad, EW not only deletes any post pointing out promises made and not kept, and bans the user account.
Some nice libraries, but the way they run the company and treat customers makes me unlikely to ever buy anything from them again. It's a shame they don't just release libraries for EXS, or other open player formats and not have to worry about the nightmare of plugin compatibility.

Is there any way to import multiple video files into a Logic Pro X project ?

Hi All,
Im working on score for a movie, I have multiple video clips that I need to make score for. Im wondering if there is a way to import all the video clips in to a single LPX project.
Thanks.
Ara

No, Logic allows only one video file per Project.
You have to edit them together in iMovie or Final Cut Pro first.
However, the common workflow in film scoring is one Project per cue, so if there are no overlapping music cues between the videos, it shouldn't be a problem
Hope that helps

Key commands for part box missing in Logic Pro X

The manual mentions several key commands for selecting objects in the part box, that would make this a very efficient step time input program, but they don't exist in the key command list.
Can anyone help? All I want to do is select note or pause values with one hand while inputting pitc from a midi controller keyboard.

Thanks for this reply. You are correct I am actually running 10.9 and fully up to date on software updates for August 2014. My bad, thought I had taken the most recent option from the drop down menu.
I have been able to fix the issue but going into Library/ApplicationSupport/Logic and removing the 'drummer' folder. I also went into the plugins folder and removed 'drum presets'. I put all removed files onto a new folder on my desktop.
When I tried to open a drummer track Logic detected that the files were missing and prompted me to download the missing 'drummer files' once the download was complete, drummer operated correctly with all drummers available again.
I went back into the file system again and moved some of the drum presets that I had initially moved out (I had originally acquired these when I first installed Logic and did a lengthy additional content download) that had not re-downloaded back into 'drum presets'. All drumkits were now available too.
If the issue occurs again I'll take a look at Spotlight file reindexing - would be worth a try and probably quicker. It would make sense that the underlying issue here is one around the drummer sampler code having issues around indexing the sample data.
