Major Recording Problem.. Any Ideas?

I have a file that has a lot going on. About 49 tracks. Not all playing at once. About half audio, half VIs.
When I go to do a punch, OR....even NOT a punch, just hit RECORD (from stop position)....the Mac acts as if it has 256K of memory and the slowest drive in the world. Logic goes into RECORD, but the screen freezes....counter freezes, looks like Mac has crashed....but song continues to play. Hit STOP. Takes 4 seconds to STOP. The recording has actually taken place from where it should have started when I hit RECORD. But of course when I hit STOP, the recording kept going and goes over things it shouldn't.
Raised buffer to 512. Froze many tracks, turned other tracks to MUTE. No luck.
Saved session to another hard drive. No luck.
I'm on a Mac Pro 8 core with 8g Ram.
What could be happening here?
Tom

It's my session yes.
I mean of the 49 tracks, some are instrument tracks, some audio.
All at the same sample rate. Using internal SATA drives on the Mac Pro. No problem on other projects, but to be fair, this one has a few more tracks than most, although I certainly have done sessions with no problems this big in the past with Logic.
What's weird is turning off almost all the tracks but say a piano and bass and the click, still had me seeing the problem when trying to record a vocal. And this thing isn't even set up for a mix yet, only one Altiverb as a main reverb and no tons of compressors or EQs yet, because I'm still tracking this thing. It's a real puzzle.
I thought by freezing tracks, and muting others, I'd be able to work, then gradually turning on tracks would reveal the culprit, but Logic doesn't seem to care. It's like the whole session is causing the problem no matter how many tracks are on, which makes no sense.
Oh, and I'm using the Duet....

Try this from MacFixIt as well:
In the case of drive directory damage or problems with permissions, the solution is usually to use Apple's Disk Utility to repair the disk. Of course, you won't be able to perform this operation normally (simply launching the Disk Utility application, located in Applications/Utilities, and initiating a disk repair) if your system will not startup. So two options exist:
* Insert your Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) media (DVD or CD) and restart the computer while holding down the "C" key. Once the computer has booted from the installation disc, select "Utilities" from the menubar and open Disk Utility. Repair the disk, then quit Disk Utility and restart your system.
* Alternatively, you can repair the disk while booted in single user mode if you do not have access to a retail Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) DVD/CD. To startup in single user mode, hold down the "Command" and "S" keys simultaneously at startup. Once properly booted, type the command fsck at the prompt. Repeat these process until no errors appear.

Since you don't say what the "formatting problems" are, all we can say is:

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. (is this what you meant by charger?)
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Funny problem - any ideas ?

Hi Folks,
I'm seeing a funny issue and running out of ideas, any help would be appreciated.
Here is a pl/sql block :
declare
ctr number := 0;
ctr1 number := 0;
begin
insert into TableT ( x, y, z)
select <3 columns> from table1, table2, table3, table4, table5
where <join conditions for tables 1 thru 5> ;
-- this inserts 67xxx records. This number varies randomly during runs, no two runs return the same number e.g 67258, 67120, 67118 etc
for rec in (
select <3 columns> from table1, table2, table3, table4, table5
where <join conditions for tables 1 thru 5> ) loop
ctr := ctr+1;
end loop;
dbms_output.put_line(ctr); -- shows the right number that should be returned by the select query i.e. 67105 EVERY time its run
select count(*) into ctr1 from table1, table2, table3, table4, table5
where <join conditions for tables 1 thru 5>
dbms_output.put_line(ctr1); -- shows the right number that should be returned by the select query i.e. 67105 EVERY time its run
end;
/The query in the for loop is an exact cut-paste job from the query in the insert.
Theres nothing special about tableT its just a straight create table with NO clauses other than column definitions all of which are number,varchar2(20) and date specified at creation time, no constraints, no triggers. DB is 11.1.0.7 if thats relevant.
I've racked my brains, cant think of a reason for this. Any ideas ?
TIA !!!!

Hi Hoek,
Thanks for your reply, I cant really demonstrate the problem with test data since if I create new test tables and sample data, the problem does not show up.
I'm really looking for suggestions of areas to look into, I understand you can't point out the actual problem with what I've posted.
NormHi Norm,
Too bad you cannot reproduce the problem. It raises more questions and guesses/speculations which is the opposite of what you're looking for.
Are you getting the problem in an 'isolated environment' (are you the only one doing DML, is this a test database or...)?
How did you determine the number of rows inserted through your SQL approach (INSERT...SELECT)? SQL%ROWCOUNT?
Any triggers on table1..5?
Your example seems to be narrowed down a bit too much, expecially since you cannot reproduce when you try to recreate the problem.

Sudden latency problems - any ideas?

Hi all
I am recording on my iMac 27 Quad Core using an Apogee Duet. I've got a track up-and-runnng with only a small amount of stuff going on. Last night, while recording, I had NO latency whatsoever. Now, the next day, when I arm a track to record, I am getting a noticable delay.
Why would it suddenly start like this? Any ideas? I can normally handles tens of tracks with no problem at all.
Thanks!
Steve

This is an old post but for anyone else who searches this and wants a soultion I've found a great workaround:
- Go to your Ultilities > Audio MIDI Setup
- A list should apper on the left of all interfaces. The interface you are trying to use should be on the list.
- Click on the '+' symbol on the bottom of the list and select 'Create Agggregate Device', this should add a new virtual audio interface. Name it whatever you want, but make sure it's different then all of the others on the list.
- On the right should be a list of available interfaces with inputs and outputs. Select the interface you would like to fix to be part of the virtual device.
- Open up Logic and go to Logic > Preferenes > Audio
- There should be an input and output device listed. Open up the drop down menu for the input device and the device you just created should be there. Select it as the input (and output as well if you're using it for the output) and it shouldn't have anymore issues. I don't know why this is, but it worked perfectly for me after I had this issue.

5th Gen Ipod Touch not recognised 2 windows pcs and my mac mini, Itune up to date, tried DFU and recovery, returned from apple inspection as working, still no joy, anyone elese had this problem, any ideas?

Since we had the ipod touch since xmas we have had slight problems with charging and connecting to itunes, i sent back to Apple to repair/inspect, they have returned it back as working fine, tried 2 different windows pcs, my mac mini and cannot get the ipod to connect, Windows tries installing drivers only to say it has failed, uninstall try again, go into recovery mode and dfu, nothing seems to work. I have 2 ipads an iphone 4s which all connect faultlessly. Any ideas?

Have you tried another cable? Some iPods were shipped with cable that either did no work initially or shortly failed.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Bring the cable too.

Hard Disk Problems - Any ideas anyone??

I recently replaced my ibook's HD with a new one, every thing has been fine until just recently. Mysteriously on my control click menus and other pop up windows like save and open, all system text has turned into code. use the following url for an example http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/whatapileof/menu.jpg . The text is now N21 and things like that. Any ideas? When i tried to do a HD repair in disc utility, the permissions are fine but when i repair the disc it fails each time. I have tried to reinstall the OS but that also fails. I am guessing that the menu text and this repair issue are hand-in-hand. Only thing i can think of is doing a re-format. There’s no other issues that i can spot and the problem is bearable. Im used to doing reformats with windows. never thought i would have to with OSX though. Any ideas how to avoid?? Cheers.

How did you install your OS onto the new hard drive? Did you do a clean install or did you use one of those disk cloning utilities?
Have you tried creating a new user and seeing if that new user also has this problem? If you restored your Library folder from an old OS installation, it could have corrupted some Finder preference.
If all else fails, do is re-format and re-install from scratch.
I have never seen this before. See if a new user has the same problem. If that doesn't help, since it is bearable, wait a few days and see if someone else reponds to this message and knows a quick fix. If that doesn't happen re-format and re-install.

Iphoto export problem any ideas???

I cannot export photos before a certain date. I have about two years worth in my iphoto and after a certain date I can export. I don't know what is different between the photos. I tried command option while launching iphoto and none of those options corrected them with the exception of two photos. I didn't find anything listed in the type of file except jpg's...no png's as some people have found. And it is strange because after July of 2012 everything exports fine. I don't get it does anyone have any ideas? I would logically think a problem would not resolve itself and be ok after a date with any recently photos able to export and older ones unable to.I haven't added any programs and if I did I would think they would have created the problem not solved it....I want to be able to export my old photos...I have spent quite a bit of time on it...any help would be great. OH and another problem I am out of state and my start up disk is back home in MI and I am in CA

Take a look at theis thread in the iPhoto forum https://discussions.apple.com/message/21143278#21143278
If this doesn't help you might post your question over in the iPhoto forum.

Bizarre App "de-selection" Problem - Any idea?

Ok... This is strange enough that I am at a total loss. This literally just started happening this morning for no apparent reason. Basically what's going on is that when I am in an app, like safari or pages, or anything, after about 30 seconds of using the current window everything up top will grey out and the cursor will disappear as if I am switching to another app or something. I have to replace my cursor and continue typing (like I've had to do 3 times up to this point right here). There is nothing else open to be switched to so it really doesn't make any sense... Does anyone have any idea what might be happening? Need any more information? Thank you.

Reformatted... Re-installed OSX SL... Just restored backed up files individually, carefully checking permissions. Problem solved. Works fine. Seems to be the only solution.

Scrollbar problem - any ideas?

I know another scrollbar problem...ive read the posts but cant solve it. Anyone got any ideas?
got a program called Map which draws a map (using paint()) of a web site. I can get it to work but often there are so many links they go off the page.I need a scrollbar.
In main i set up a frame: JFrame frame=new JFrame("M");
Then set up scrollbar: JScrollPane cf = new JScrollPane();
cf.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy (JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS );
cf.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS );
Then add scrollbar to frame: frame.getContentPane().add(cf);
Then add Map() - my main prog: cf.add(new Map());
(Map constructor calls repaint() - paint method draws to screen. main program extends JComponent)
All i get is a blank (grey frame) with a scrollbar :) ...doesnt show Map - paint
I can ignore scrollbar and use a container instead -
Container c=frame.getContentPane()
then set its layout : c.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
and add Map() to it : add(new Mapper(),BorderLayout.CENTER);
It works fine - but i need a scrollbar...
Thanks for your time&help

Hers the code for my main Mapper program (which is loaded first) and the Scan program(below).I know the structures all over the place+thats the problem. I would like a scrollbar.

N97 problems any ideas solutions?

hi there i got my n97 on realease date in the uk and have had no problems with it whatsover, until yesterday that is, i had set my phone to always ask when connecting to web, so when home screen was up the message would come up whether to connect or not, well yesterday this stopped appearing, ive alternated between offline and online, swithced off and on, took out battery and restored the fatory settings, however it still doesnt seem able to connect none of my widgets load up either , also i cant access my browser, when i try the same happens as with the widgets, the screen goes blank then back to the home screen?? im recieving my emails fine so i dont think its a connection problem, anyone any ideas or experienced this themselves?
please help i really love my phone
cheers in advance, andy

are you able to update your phone with the latest firmware ? v11 .... i know that UK has not received it but perhaps it changed ? i am not sure. that could help you also consider formatting your phone. you will have to do a back up and also you might lose some apps that have been preinstalled on the phone including the accu weather one, that can not be replaced cause it is nowhere to be found. if you chose to do that here is what you would do plug in *#7370# from your home screen/dialer and if it asks you for a code plug in 12345. this might solve your issue.
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

When trying to access music stored on my icloud i get the following warning 'This computer is already associated with an Apple ID'. itunes support say they have 'released' all devices associated with my account but i still have the same problem-any ideas?

cant access music sored in my icloud when using my lap top. any ideas?

iTunes imposes a 90 day wait period before a device can be associated with a different ID. If iTunes support only removed all devices associated with your ID, this does not override the 90-day wait period. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627:
"Removing a device from your Apple ID does not override the 90 day timer. The timer must complete 90 days from the day the device was associated before it can be associated to another Apple ID."
Unless iTune support can override the wait period for you, you have no choice but to wait if you want to download it from iCloud. If your purchases music is on any of your iOS deivces, you can transfer it to the iTunes library on your computer by authorizing your computer for the Apple ID(s) used to purchase the music (in iTunes, Store>Authorize This Computer), then connecting your device to your computer, opening iTunes, and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.

Technical ffwd problem any ideas?

Tonight the usually well behaved 30 secs ffwd button has stopped performing as it should.
Instead of jumping seamlessly forward 30 secs which was its normal behaviour it now goes forward visibly showing the frames ( as per an old VCR).
The 7 sec rewind work perfectly.
Have done a hard reboot but it is still misbehaving.
Any ideas?
This is on my own recordings I ought to have added when I posted.
