New external instrument bug? (please test)

Just updated to Logic 9.0.1 and i think i've found a new bug with the external instrument plug-in. When i adjust the "input volume" parameter the slider shoots down to "-24 db" and however much i try to adjust this, it snaps back to this "-24 db" setting. I cant adjust it at all!!!
Can someone else please confirm?

I've heard people complaining about some of the lack of testing that goes on, but in this case it's kind of funny; no one thought to just move the sliders to check?
I mean. Wow. Really. Just. Wow.
It's kind of hilarious, at least with the I/O plugin - since latency compensation has been the feature which is the catalyst for many an angry PT vs LP debate. To not get that simple plugin right on the first get go only reaffirms what a lot of people already think about LP (Bare in mind I'm an LP only user - but one, hopefully, with an open mind and a sense of humour.)
Edit:
I should add that the "pings" I did do with the I/O plugin saw a sample offset of +1. Which is beyond negligible really. That means Logic's roundtrip calculations were already pretty accurate.

  • External Instrument Plug-in Bug

    Anyone else able to reproduce this bug in the External Instrument Plug-in with Logic X?
    1. Create External MIDI track using External Instrument Plug-in
    2. Save project & quit Logic X.
    3. Reopen Project
    4. Now the External MIDI track is triggering a different MIDI Destination port to the one that was originally assigned (but is still labelled as the originally assigned MIDI Destination port in the External Instrument Plug-in
    5. Toggle MIDI Destination to nothing, then back to originally assigned MIDI port. It will once again function correctly
    6. This behaviour will repeat every time the project is reopened for all External MIDI tracks
    Please note this behaviour does NOT occur on the LEGACY External Instrument Plug-in from Logic 9.
    I'm using a MOTU micro lite MIDI interface.
    Yes, I've submitted my report to Logic Pro Feedback

    Hi Peter,
    the audio INs can be renamed under I/O Labels ... says theory. My Logic X (now Under Maverics) simply crashes when I try to open the I/O label menu.
    As for External MIDI instruments, after the project restart the problem perceives. It always map the external instrument (configuration saved as a Logic X preset) to first MIDI OUT port available in the list. So I have to open all external instruments plugins and manually switch the preset to the device used for the track. Funny is that when the external instrument is opened the External instruments preset name and audio INs are correct, but the MIDI destination is always assigned to MIDI port 1. So I have to open External instruments library, select the correct preset (same as opened on screen) and it switches the correct MIDI Out ports.
    I think that there might be a problem with the previous Logic 9 configuration files that Logic X incorporated. Maybe something should be deleted and clearly installed. If anybody knows which file contains the I/O and MIDI information and might be deleted helps.

  • Bug in SURROUND when instnciating new SOFTWARE INSTRUMENT?

    Hi all
    Is this a bug?
    This only seems to appear after mix is up to say a dozen tracks.
    Whilst working in SURROUND ... I have some audio and some software instrument tracks running ... instanciate a new EX24 or KONTAKT 3 by choosing NEW TRACK with a key command ...... choose NEW SOFTWARE INSTRUMENT .... when you've opened the new instrument, everything in the mix is shunted over toward the left hand side of the room.
    There's no apparent way to get the mix back to where it was so you have REVERT TO SAVED?
    Best
    Dick

    If so, don't.....   Use the New Project command instead
    at the startup of the song it creates 5 busses......
    using Empty project....... Every new SI.... same issue
    It may be you have created a template, or are using one.. that includes those busses....
    I do use a template song with some busses, but it creates 2 new if I create a new Software Instrument.
    I don't understand this behavior.......
    This issue occurs using the command New Software  Instrument tracks, and not creating New Audio Tracks
    The unique way to avoid this for me is to copy a SI in the Environment and then change its Inst channel....

  • Users of non-English interface: please test and report bug to Apple

    interesting observation in the German interface:
    set iMovie prefs to 'show no frames' in time ('9s' instead of '9:00')
    in the German interface, the abrv. for second in use is 'sek' ('9sek')
    these two extra letters obviously kill some internal math of iMovie:
    entering '53' into the Inspector results in 10min = max length
    '53,00', '53:00'. '00:53', '0,53' - no difference!
    setting iMovie to English on same Mac results in correct handling.
    in case, your interface language arbreviates 'seconds' to something more than just one letter, please test it.
    in case it results into the same '10min' error, please report at:

    Back when lots of folks used dialup, there was the issue of call-waiting - it would disconnect an active connection.  There was a key combination you could punch into the phone to disable it - Google showed me how:
    http://www.yashy.com/star.codes.html
    *70 Call Waiting Disable (Per Call)
    So call waiting might be the problem.  Or phone line quality might also be it.  You can probably get your local provider out to test the line quality, but I don't think they ever claimed the voice line would have a level of service guaranteed good for data transmission.  But it seems unlikely that the modem would be the issue - if it works, i'll work until it completely dies.  I have no idea how you might go about testing a modem these days.

  • I bought a new external hard drive for backups, but time machine won't do a full back up.  I think it is remembering backing up onto previous external hard drives, which I don't own anymore.  How do I do a new full backup?

    I bought a new external hard drive for backups, but time machine won't do a full back up. 
    I think it is remembering backing up onto previous external hard drives, which I don't own anymore.  How do I do a new full backup?
    When I bought the new (used) iMac, I also bought an external hard drive for backups.  It worked fine, but my husband stole it.
    Then I bought a new external hard drive (Seagate) and it worked fine for three weeks, then died.
    So I just got a new external hard drive, which was put together from an internal hard drive and a hard drive enclosure. 
    Time machine did the first backup today, and it should have taken 9 hours like it did on the previous first time full back up.  Instead, it took 30 minutes.  That can't be right.  I want to start over and do a full backup to make sure everything gets onto my new external hard drive, but I can't figure out how to do that.  Please help.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    tmutil compare -E
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command will take at least a few minutes to run. Eventually some lines of output will appear below what you entered.
    Each line that begins with a plus sign (“+”) represents a file that has been added to the source volume since the last snapshot was taken. These files have not been backed up yet.
    Each line that begins with an exclamation point (“!”) represents a file that has changed on the source volume. These files have been backed up, but not in their present state.
    Each line that begins with a minus sign (“-“) represents a file that has been removed from the source volume.
    At the end of the output, you’ll get some lines like the following:
    Added:
    Removed:
    Changed:
    These lines show the total amount of data added, removed, or changed on the source(s) since the last snapshot.

  • How do I copy an iPhoto library, which is on an external hard drive, onto a new external hard drive?

    I'm running out of space on my external hard drive, so I was advised to buy one with triple the amount of space.  So, I need to copy my current iphoto library, which is on an external hard drive, onto a new external hard drive.  I thought I could just drag and drop it in, but that doesn't seem to be working. 

    Make sure the external drive is formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled) and then drag the iPhoto Library to that drive using the Finder.
    Then double click the library in its new location to open it in iPhoto. Test it thoroughly, if it is working, before deleting the original library on the internal drive.
    To check the format of the drive, see (it says Aperture, but the same applies to iPhoto):  Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture

  • Can I transfer photos from old macbook to iMac and put all photos on a new external drive without losing any photos?

    Had to purchase new Macbook so all devices could sync with Yosemite.   I use iMAC and Macbook with iPhone, etc.  I have many photos over years and do scrapbooking.  I want to preserve my pix on an external hard drive and organize them.  I am currently using external drive on iMAC and a separate one on Macbook that is outdated.  I use them with TM for backup.  Can I transfer pix data only to the iMAC via a transfer cable and then send all photos to new external drive for access and safe storage?  I am confused about backup not preserving my photos.  Help please me transfer and save my pix and properly set up my external for access.  Thanks a bunch!

    connie,
    I assume you are storing your photos in an iPhoto library, since you are asking in the iPhoto forum?
    if you want to store your iPhoto library on an external drive and keep them safe, you need two external drives.  One drive to store the working copy of the photo library, that you are using to work with your photos,  and one drive for time machine to make back copies of your iPhoto library.
    Can I transfer pix data only to the iMAC via a transfer cable and then send all photos to new external drive for access and safe storage?
    You could simply plug your new drive into the MacBook and copy the library from the old drive to the new. Then connect the new drive to your iMac and use the iPhoto library there.
    Make sure, your new drive has the correct file system - MacOS Extended (Journaled) .  See this link:  iPhoto: Issues with FAT32-formatted drives

  • How do I transfer an existing Aperture library to a new external hard drive

    I have a new external hard drive where I want to store my pictures to free up room on my iMac
    How do I take an existing Aperture library and move it to the external hard drive so that Aperature can find and use it?  Once it is moved can I delete the library from my iMac without causing problems with my new hard drive library?
    thanks

    Hello Barty,
    is your library referenced or managed?
    If your Aperture Library is managed, then you can simply copy it to your new external drive using the Finder. Make a backup of your old library and convince yourself that the backup is working.
    If your library is referenced, then use Aperture to relocate your master image files to the external drive (select all images, then File -> Relocate Master), then copy your Library to the external drive using the Finder.
    To point Aperture to the new library location, double click the new Aperture Library to open Aperture with it. Test it thoroughly, before you delete the original library.
    You might consider only to relocate the master images to your external drive and to leave the then much smaller Aperure Library on your system drive. That way Aperture will work faster, and you will be able to browse and share your images, even when our external drive is not connected.
    Regards
    Léonie

  • Getting my backed-up photos into iPhoto on the new external hard drive

    I managed to use Time Machine to restore the back-up of my external hard drive (that died) to a new external hard drive, however, while I can see the .jpeg images that were in my original (ext. hard drive) iPhoto library on the new Passport Drive, they are no longer set up in an iPhoto library.  I might have confused the system because I had thought I needed a shell structure iPhoto library on the new hard drive, so I basically moved the new "budding" iPhoto library established on my iMac's internal hard drive to the Passport drive before restoring the Time Machine backup.  What I see now is 1. a 4GB iPhoto library existing on the internal drive.  2. an identical 4GB iPhoto library existing on the external Passport drive  and 3. a folder named Simpletech with the entire contents of the failed hard drive including all the photos from my original 54GB iPhoto library that resided on the old external hard drive, which are accessible as independent .jpeg files, but no longer organized as an iPhoto library. 
         Would love to know the steps to having just one iPhoto library on the Passport external hard drive that contains all my images without accidentally losing/deleting any images and messing up pointers.  I would not mind eliminating the iPhoto library on the internal hard drive either, provided I could get all the images into the main one.
    Angie in Charlotte

    while I can see the .jpeg images that were in my original (ext. hard drive) iPhoto library on the new Passport Drive
    When you enter Time Machine and go to the Pictures folder do you not see the iPhoto Library in it at different dates?

    If you used Time Machine to backup your hard drive then the iPhoto Library package should be in it.  If you did something different please explain in detail what you did.

  • Webdynpro application can't display a URL iView in a new External window

    Fellow developer:
    In my WD4A application, I called the method 'navigate_absolute' to display a URL iView in a new External window.
    The code is as follows:
    data lo_portal_manager type ref to if_wd_portal_integration.
    call method lo_portal_manager->navigate_absolute
    exporting
      navigation_target = 'ROLES://u2026'
      navigation_mode = '1'.            ('0' - Displayed in the Same Window, " '1' - Displayed in a new External Window)
    The application can display the iView in the same Window (navigation_mode = '0'), but cannot in a new External window (navigation_mode = '1').
    In the iView properties, the following attributes are set to:
    1. Launch in New Window - Dipslay in Separate Window
    2. Open iView Links in New Window - Yes
    If you know the answer, please advise.

  • Using Disc Utility to copy my hard drive to a brand new external drive and am having the error "Unable to create...(Cannot allocate memory)".

    I'm not very tech savvy but am trying my best to use Disc Utility to copy my hard drive to a brand new external drive and am having the error "Unable to create...(Cannot allocate memory)".
    Last night no problems, woke this morning and it was freezing so I forced a restart and got the grey screen with the folder and question mark. Ran off to best buy to get an external drive... Please help! Thank you!

    I have done both. When I hold down the "C" key it pauses for a few seconds while the cd spins and then the flashing folder icon appears.
    Could be you have the wrong cd/dvd.  The mac will only boot a supported cd/dvd for your machine. The flashing question mark indicdates your machine could not find a valid os.
    When I hold down the "option" key for the startup manager the cursor comes up and moves but the actually manager doesn't come up no matter how long I leave the laptop on.
    Not sure.  Could be your machine does not support the startup manager. You would think the machine would ignore the key.
    Where did you get the dvd?  What is the number on the DVD?
    What machine do you have anyway?

    I am trying to do a full Time Machine Backup to a new external disk. The backup starts, and it says "Time remaining about 4 days." That seems like a very long time, but the real problem is that the computer "logs off" after a few hours, and the backup stops.

  • Backing up to new external hard drive is not working

    I just purchased a new 2TB FreeAgent external hard drive. I hooked it up to use as a time machine backup and in the preferences of Time Machine it said that the drive needed to be formatted. I then went to Disk Utility and erased the drive using the format "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" and gave it a name. Once that was done I attempted to back up again through time machine but it started the "calculating changes..." at 23% and stayed there all night. I do not know if I need to reformat it differently or why it is not working.... any suggestions?

    I tried to hook up the external hard drive to a different computer (imac) and it worked without any problem.
    Did you cancel the backup it was attempting to do, before disconnecting it? If not, did you eject it first?
    Do you mean it ran backups? Or just that it was recognized? Those are very different.
    The mac pro has 2 internal hard drives. One for the OS and the other for a tm backup.
    Be sure that second drive is now excluded from TM Backups via TM Preferences > Options. If TM is trying to back up the internal disk's TM backups onto the new external, that might explain why it's confused (I know I am!)
    I attempted to hook up this external drive to a second external tm back up
    Do you mean you've "daisy chained" it, to yet another disk also containing TM backups?
    and noted the different disk in the tm preferences.
    Do the two disks have different names, and does TM Preferences show the new name? If not, the preferences file may be corrupt. In that case, do a "full reset" per #A4 in the Troubleshooting Tip.
    Do you have any idea why this drive would not work on my mac pro but does work on my imac?
    I'm not entirely sure that's true. Please clarify exactly what you're doing; what's connected where and how, and what's being backed-up.
    On the Pro, you have 2 internals and how many externals? Which ones are being backed-up (ie, not on the exclusion list in TM Preferences > Options)?

  • Fire Wire: MBP OS X.4.11 Can't see external devices. PLEASE HELP!

    Fire Wire: MBP OS X.4.11 Can't see external devices. PLEASE HELP!
    My MBP will not "see" my new MB or my back-up drive—both connected via a firewire 400 (6 pin) cable. Both running Tiger X.4.11
    I have used this cable to connect my MBP and a TiBook in the past as well as to back-up onto the LaCie e-drive.
    I have run "disk repair" and "permissions" on both machines.
    BTW—"permissions" are regularly out of wack on the MBP. But, the disk is OK according to Disk Utilities.
    I also cannot put the machine to sleep after logging out. Has a hard time shutting down as well. Sometimes I need to force a re-boot.
    Can't run Disk Doctor because I don't have a bootable disk yet. It's coming via snail mail.
    The new MB "sees" the e-drive connected with the same cable.
    I can't transfer my files to the new MB nor can I back up.
    Is it time for a "clean install"? Makes me nervous that I cannot backup before trying anything drastic.
    Can someone please help me?
    Thanks in advance.

    Put the more recalcitrant computer into Target Drive mode by starting it with the T key down until you see the yellow on blue screen. Then connect it to the other machine by firewire cable while both are already awake.
    I hope that you did not do any upgrades while you had external drives connected... that is an automatic problem. Always disconnect from externals and accessories before doing any upgrades. Always back up before doing any upgrades.
    Firewire networking is not the same as using a computer in Target Disc mode. In Target disc mode, you are using the internal drive of the Td computer as an external. That should allow you to run disk utility. Do use the proper disc utility version for the OSX version that is on problem drive. ie don't use the Leopard disc utility for the Tiger disc or vice versa.
