Stability of included Logic plugins when using Logic with BFD 2

Hi,
I have a new mac pro purchased a couple of months ago. I bought logic studio, and then BFD 2 (a drum addon). Now that I've got a good pair of speakers connected up to my mac (through the phones socket as changing logic to use the line out crashed it) I started to use the effects plugins to process the drum sounds, just using the plugins installed when you install logic studio. Now, i found it was crashing rather easily, so i installed the two logic updates i found on the apple updates site, named LogicPro8.0.2Update.dmg and ProApplicationsUpdate2008-01.dmg.
Unfortunately, the mac isn't connected to the 'net so i can't automatically check for updates. BFD 2 is also up-to-date.
However, Logic is still extremely prone to crashing when I try and change anything in a plugin. The plugins I've tried using so far are the multipressor and the compressor but it's the same thing: change some settings in the plugin, click on the play button in the transport controls and the mac bombs (can't do anything)
Am i just not being patient enough? I do wait a few minutes before powering off but for the last couple of minutes there's no sign of activity (e.g. hard disk spinning) from the mac
I thought macs were so much more expensive than PCs because they work better. Well if this is "better" I'm never going to waste the extra money buying a Mac again. I'm new to music-making so it's not like I'll be wasting a detailed knowledge of Logic

Sorry to hear about your frustrations. I'm using BFD2 on a macpro 8 core. And it's running extremely well. My computer will still occassionally lock up, but it is the best it has ever been. Their should be NO issue with using Logic's plugins with BFD2. They have been tested thoroughly. I don't think your 'patience' is the issue. Something sounds wrong.
Try to eliminate issues, to figure out what is going on. Don't run any other applications while running Logic. You might try temporarily removing all 3rd party components from Audio Unit plugin folder except BFD2.
Run disk permissions repair, and repair disk. I gather running 'airport' might cause issues, but I never used that myself. If you DONT use BFD2, can you still get Logic to crash moving knobs in the plug in?. Also Logic SHOULD NOT crash by using line out. That's an indication that something else is wrong
Also try logging on as another user. Create one if necessary. See if Logic/BFD runs better that way..
The last, most desperate measure is WIPE your hard drive, and re-install OSX, and your applications. I have had to do that a couple of times, and it will make a huge difference.
If you run a program a program like techtool pro, and ascertain, there is nothing wrong with the hardware of your machine. (and there probably isn't). It implies there is some kind of conflict with software, or corruption of data on your drives. And that does happen. I have a huge EXS sample library, and it is not uncommon, for it to occassionally find an 'end of line error', or not able to find a sound sample at all. These issues 'creep in' just like one day, you get in your car and find the windshield wipers don't work, or the radio crackles etc.
Hope this helps. Did you try checking BFD's sight for help?. I have emailed them with Logic issues, and they have been helpful for me in the past...

  • Does 2012 mac mini get very hot when using logic pro

    does 2012 mac mini get very hot when using logic pro

    Are you saying that your machine does or is it an enquiry before buying ? I use a 2011 server model - well, it does get hot over a period of time, but I've very rarely heard the fan kick in, its a surprise when it does. As far as I know the casing has been specifically designed to conduct heat, rather than having any fancy grilles and so on, being so small in size. I haven't found it to be cause for concern, if that's any help.

  • When using pdfFactory with Firefox, why are the colors on the pdf not correct?

    The colors are vastly different when using pdf Factory with Firefox. When using pdfFactory with IE, they are both the same.

    There doesn't seem to be a one-size-fits-all answer, because what works for one printer doesn't necessarily work for another, and I don't have your printer so I can't advise on specifics...
    However, perhaps we can discover a set of settings that will work...
    If you File - Print, choose Photoshop Manages Colors, in the Printer Profile section do you see profiles specific to your printer (e.g., with the name Kodak in them)?
    If so, choose one of them that seems appropriate given the paper you're using.
    If not, try choosing sRGB IEC61966-2.1.
    Now, before you continue, press the [Print Settings...] button.  This brings up the printer driver dialog.  You may have to go through [Advanced] buttons or whatever, but what you're looking to do here is to disable the printer driver's color management logic.  In other words, if you can find a color-management / ICC profile handling section, set it to "no color management" or equivalent.  OK back out to Photoshop's print dialog, then press [Print].
    The key here is that if Photoshop manages the color transforms, the printer driver should not be set to do so - or vice versa.
    If you're presented with the printer driver's dialog again, double check that the settings you chose above are still set, for good measure, and try a test print.

  • Best practice when using Tangosol with an app server

    Hi,
    I'm wondering what is the best practice when using Tangosol with an app server (Websphere 6.1 in this case). I've been able to set it up using the resource adapter, tried using distributed transactions and it appears to work as expected - I've also been able to see cache data from another app server instance.
    However, it appears that cache data vanishes after a while. I've not yet been able to put my finger on when, but garbage collection is a possibility I've come to suspect.
    Data in the cache survives the removal of the EJB, but somewhere later down the line it appear to vanish. I'm not aware of any expiry settings for the cache that would explain this (to the best of my understanding the default is "no expiry"), so GC came to mind. Would this be the explanation?
    If that would be the explanation, what would be a better way to keep the cache from being subject to GC - to have a "startup class" in the app server that holds on to the cache object, or would there be other ways? Currently the EJB calls getCacheAdapter, so I guess Bad Things may happen when the EJB is removed...
    Best regards,

    Hi Gene,
    I found the configuration file embedded in coherence.jar. Am I supposed to replace it and re-package coherence.jar?
    If I put it elsewhere (in the "classpath") - is there a way I can be sure that it has been found by Coherence (like a message in the standard output stream)? My experience with Websphere is that "classpath" is a rather ...vague concept, we use the J2CA adapter which most probably has a different class loader than the EAR that contains the EJB, and I would rather avoid to do a lot of trial/error corrections to a file just to find that it's not actually been used.
    Anyway, at this stage my tests are still focused on distributed transactions/2PC/commit/rollback/recovery, and we're nowhere near 10,000 objects. As a matter of fact, we haven't had more than 1024 objects in these app servers. In the typical scenario where I've seen objects "fade away", there has been only one or two objects in the test data. And they both disappear...
    Still confused,

  • Display "blank-out" when using Maya with a GF 7800?

    I have a problem where my LCD display occasionally blinks off for about 5-10 seconds when using Maya with a scene displaying about 100,000 polys. Has anyone else encountered this? This only seems to happen when I am quickly rotating the camera in a grey shaded perspective panel?
    My LCD is a Dell 20" LCD (set at 1600x1200) connected to a Geforce 7800 in a Quad G5 with 4.5GB of ram.
    I have never seen this issue before in Maya (I have been using Maya for years, on other machines), so I suspect it is hardware or driver related?

    OK, have completed several tests. I definately seems that the my Geforce 7800 has problems when running some applications. I wonder if anyone else has encountered this problem?
    The easiest way to cause the display to momentarily shut off is to use Maya in the full screen perspective camera window in shaded mode. Proceed to rapidly move a 20,000 poly model (or greater) both zooming and rotating (the polys need to fill the entire screen and shake the mouse).My display (Dell 20" 2001fp) will blink-off for a few seconds. Of course, this in not "normal" work flow, but I have this issue happening when working normally, it can sometimes take time to occur.
    I have tried the Geforce 6600 (256mb ver) and this does not occur with that video card. I have tried several mice both wired and wireless, plus changed the Energy Saver options for Processor performance (from comments I read on Macintouch.com). The problem is consistent to my Geforce 7800. This problem will also occur in Photoshop CS, by moving images and resizing, but I found it much harder to induce.

    Is it possible that GMail only allows access to untagged emails via POP3? Or only to emails from the last x days?
    POP3 is the older email retrieval protocol (IMAP4 is the more current one) and only has very limited support for folders (or anything but a single inbox, really). It's quite common that POP3 only allows access to a subset of all emails stored by a provider.

  • How to store a layout, when using CL_SALV_TREE with a container?

    Hello,
    I'd like to use an object of type CL_SALV_TREE, that is placed on a custom container (and therefore not displayed in fullscreen).
    But how do I get the functionality to store a layout, when using CL_SALV_TREE not in fullscreen mode? If you use it in fullscreen mode, you just have to define the function code in your gui status and everything is ok.
    But since I want to place my CL_SALV_TREE on a custom container, that method does not work. If I call <my_salv_tree>->get_functions( ) it returns a table, that holds just six entries. So, the appropiate function for storing a layout does not seem to be in the default set of functions, when using CL_SALV_TREE with a custom container. But how do I activate this function?
    I already call the functions get_layout() and set_key() - so that shouldn't be the problem. Or is just not possible to use CL_SALV_TREE on a custom container and have the possibility to store layouts?
    Kind regards, Lars

    I'd like to use an object of type CL_SALV_TREE, that is placed on a custom container (and therefore not displayed in fullscreen).
    But how do I get the functionality to store a layout, when using CL_SALV_TREE not in fullscreen mode? If you use it in fullscreen mode, you just have to define the function code in your gui status and everything is ok.
    But since I want to place my CL_SALV_TREE on a custom container, that method does not work. If I call <my_salv_tree>->get_functions( ) it returns a table, that holds just six entries. So, the appropiate function for storing a layout does not seem to be in the default set of functions, when using CL_SALV_TREE with a custom container. But how do I activate this function?
    I already call the functions get_layout() and set_key() - so that shouldn't be the problem. Or is just not possible to use CL_SALV_TREE on a custom container and have the possibility to store layouts?
    Kind regards, Lars

  • Is there a way that when using airplay with power point the ATV does not sleep/screen saver frequently

    s there a way that when using airplay with power point the ATV does not sleep/screen saver frequently???

    I have done this for several Titles, using Photoshop and a Layer Mask, that gets "erased," revealing the letters. My Titles were of "handwriting with chalk" on a blackboard, so I could keep the edge of that Layer Mask, looking more like the "chalk." Photoshop also makes it easy to output Layer Comps for each "step" in the handwriting process. IIRC, I did about 5 Frames per Layer Comp on Import, but do not recall if I used an extremely short Cross-Dissolve Transition between those - I intened to do so, but just do not remember if I liked that, or went with just the Still Images? Will try to find that animation, and maybe create a full tutorial of the process. In my case, I also added an SFX of chalk on a chalkboard.
    If you have Photoshop, it's really quite easy to pull off.
    Now, I do not know if Photoshop Elements has Layer Masks yet, which make it so very easy to accomplish. One could do it backward, where the Text Layer gets Erased, and then one would have their full Image as the last in the sequence, and then the next would have a little bit of the Text removed, then a bit more, then a bit more - going backward, until the "writing surface" is clean. One could also do this with a Transparent Background, so that one saw the Video below, and no actual "writing surface" visible.
    Good luck,

  • Sustain won't stop when using Logic's Plugins

    I have a CME VX80 and using it with Logic 9.01. I'm getting the sustain staying on all the time once I press the pedal. If I change the polarity then the sustain stops when I press the pedal.
    This seems to happen only with Logic's virtual Instruments. If I use external plug-ins like Ivory Piano the sustain works correctly. If I use Korg's M1/T1 virtual intruments, the pedal works correctly.
    Any suggestions as to why this is happening? Any resolutions?

    It was the pedal itself. I bought a new M-audio pedal and everything is fine now.

  • Primary Archivelog Management When Using Logical Standby

    I was wondering if anyone has seen or created a script to do archivelog management when using standby databases. We recently had an experience where our standby database and primary database got out of sync and we had to recreate the standby....I had hope to advoid this but it was easier than trying to recall tapes to retrieve the backups of the archivelogs from the primary.
    Management on the logical side is fine. I know of the ability to delete log files on the logcial standby after they have been applied to the database. However, this does not address the issue of the management of archivelogs on the primary site. Does anyone have a script that only deletes the archivelogs from the primary site after they have been applied to the logical standby? Now this is a LOGICAL standby not a physical standby....RMAN has the capability of doing this for a physical standby but I don't know of any commands ro setup to allow it to do it for a logical standby.
    Regards
    Tim

    Even with 1 TB of space I only have room enough for about 3 days worth of archivelogs. Working in the environment that I do, there is another group in charge of the ESAN which serves many different systems. They were wanting detail reasoning and justification why I needed 3 days worth of space when I requested it.
    It is not truly a problem, there are always work arounds. I can restore from the backups, I can put in scripts to send out email notification when the standby falls to far behind the OE. However even with all that, I wanted to write a script that someone could run without having to check the system to delete the archivelogs if space becomes an issue on the production side.
    I was just hoping to see if anyone had a script to do it already.
    Thanks for all the input.
    Regards

  • Radio Button problem when using Logical Databases.

    Hi,
    I have a report that uses logical database PCH.  I'd like to default the reporting period radio button so that when the report is run it is defaulted to today.
    The name of the screenfield is PCHZTR_D so I set
    PCHZTR_D = 'X'. 
    in the initialisation event but this doesn't work.
    Any suggestions how I can get the reporting period to default to 'today' programmatically.
    I don't want to use a variant.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Try doing it in the AT SELECTION-SCREEN output Event.
    report zrich_0001.
    nodes: objec.
    <b>at selection-screen output.
    PCHZTR_A = space.
    PCHZTR_D = 'X'.</b>

  • Confused by the change in logical IO when using a UNION

    Hi,
    we were discussing tuning strategies (using SQL*Plus and autotrace) and stumbled over a strange behaviour.
    When I do a straight select I get the following output:

    100000 rows selected.

    select * from orders where id > 600000 and id < 630000
    union
    select * from orders where id >= 630000;which selects the same set of data. Of course the execution plan changes for this query, but what really puzzles me is the huge different for logical IO (consistent gets)

    SQL>Even though the same number of rows is selected, and the same number of bytes are sent to the client, why is the number of logical IOs so much lower?
    When I change the UNION to a UNION ALL the consistent gets go way up (13893) which I don't understand as well (the execution plan is basically the same, just missing the SORT UNIQUE node)
    Can anyone shed some light on this? Especially why the UNION needs substantially less IO
    I would have expected it to use more IO due to the duplicate index range scan. More like the figures I get when using UNION ALL

    Thanks for the answer.
    Yes, the statistics are up-to-date.
    Yes I have noticed the full table scan, but when I change the condition for the first select in order to reduce the number of rows so that an index range scan makes sense, the figures are more or less the same:
