Why is Logic reloading already loaded samples when saving

Everytime i save my song/project Logic 7.1 re[loads] all samples that are being used by Ultrabeat and EXS. A window appears saying 'Loading audiofiles for ....' The same you see when opening a song.
This also happens when working in sample edit, for instance after deleting a part of an audiofile [just before 'Updating overview']
It can take quite a while [depending upon the amount of instruments and samples] and gets quite annoying, with every 'in-between' save and every sample-edit.
I don't understand why this is necessary because these samples are already loaded since they're being used in the song. Does anyone know why this is happening and is there a way to prevent Logic from doing it?
thanks,

When you first created the song. You propably said
to copy all exs and ultrabeat to the song folder.
No, that's the weird thing: i specifically did not choose to copy Ultrabeat samples to my project folder. EXS yes, but what i see is all Ultrabeat samples being loaded again and again, when i'm saving the song.
every time you save, Logic has to look at what samples you
have in your song, copy the respective files into the
song folder, then reload them so they now contain
sample references to the song path, rather than the
library paths.
This i can understand but apart from the fact that the Ultrabeat samples are not in my Project folder it also happens when I'm working in Sample edit Window, when deleting a part of an audiofile....
By the way, it must have to do with Project saving because it doesn't occur when i'm don't save as a project but just as a song.
And also interesting: it happens on both my computers [a G4 and a G5].

  • Why does safari reload page from beginning when going back in history

    This behavior in safari is driving me nuts, i'm using mountain lion 10.8.1 and everytime i swipe two fingers to the left after having left a page to checksomething, safari goes back to the page and starts me in a different place (usually very beginning) than where i was when i navigated away from the page.  i mean what the ****? this gets very infuriating pretty quickly, especially on really long pages that i now have to navigate to the same section i was when i navigated away from the page.
    example, i was reading about the samsung apple verdict on cnet, and i was reading i dont know, the 30th or so comment in:
    http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57500273-37/apple-v-samsung-the-infringing-dev ice-scorecard/
    I then navigated away from the page to look for a tangent the comments made me think of, and when i swiped two fingers to the left, low and behold, i am now at the top of the page and have to figure out what comment i was up to.. what.. the.. heck man?? am i doing something wrong? is there a way to 'fix' this behavior?
    I remember on snow leopard i could go back and forth between pages w/o the page having to reload/leave me at the top..
    another example is newegg.com, i was looking at monitors and playing with the differnet choices when clicking 'more choices':
    http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=20&name=LCD-Monitors
    scroll down to where it says options on the left pane, the page displays drop downs, i select a few, click on Search, and when i two-finger swipe to the left to get back, the drop downs are now gone!! that was the "last state" of the page, so why does the page have to get entirely reloaded?? It SHOULD still be in my cache and viewable in the exact same way as when i left the page..
    someone please help!

    Jesus H Christ this is still driving me up the wall, i can't believe everyone is just accepting this.  Isn't there a way to fix this?  Can we at least have an option to turn this OFF?? Reloading a page everytime i go back is such a waste of time/bandwidth/my nerves when i am in the middle of a page

  • Why wont logic "recognise" Guitar rig 3 when tracking?!?!?

    Im trying to track some guitars. I have a copy of guitar rig 3 & a line 6 ux1. I normally use Gearbox (the line 6 program) for my guitar sounds but today try to use guitar rig. Logic doesnt "hear" the sound from the program itself, it only hears the plain electric guitar. Because i normally use gearbox, im not sure what im "doing wrong"....

    A loaded insert plugin doesn't record with the signal, it only *plays back* or monitors (only with SWM on) with it.
    If you want to record the effected signal, you'll have to use a standalone AU plugin host with the desired AU loaded, and make that the input source for an audio track in Logic.
    I am not completely sure I understood your problem, so let me know if it helped.
    regards, Erik.

  • Why doesn't flash player load movies when in secure connection?

    I have a new computer running on Windows 7 64bit with ESET Smart Security 5 RC. I installed the latest flash player which works perfectly fine as long as I don't use a secure connection (https). Whenever I'm on a secure webpage I see an empty white frame where there should be a flash object. Rightclicking produces a menu with two items: "movie not loaded" (in grey) and "about Adobe flash player". I've gone through troubleshooting and I've checked the security settings of my 32bit IE9 browser, which are all set to default. Also I checked my firewall and couldn't find anything unusual; anyway, turning it off altogether didn't fix the problem. Does anyone have any idea what else could cause this behaviour?

    Thanks for these suggestions.
    I have added the sites to the trusted sites in IE and that didn't help.
    Things are a bit more complicated with the global security settings of the flash player. When I click your link, I see the note (Note: The Settings Manager that you see above is not an image; it is the actual Settings Manager itself.), but no settings manager, so I cannot click any tabs. I can rightclick to go to global settings, but I can find no global security settings. A complicating factor is that I'm located in Poland and even though the installer correctly notes that I'm running an English language Windows system, it will only install flash player in Polish - and translations are usually not so good. So I have an "advanced" tab in the settings manager and I added my secure sites to the trusted sites, even though it says this is for programmers only. Anyway - this didn't help either.
    Please help, as this problem has cut me off from my bank account!

  • Ultrabeat loses track of samples when saved within a Project???

    Why is it that when I save a project with all my custom samples loaded into the Ultrabeat, I have to manually re-find them once it comes time for me to open the saved project?
    Example:
    - I'm working on a project, many instances of the Ultrabeat, many wav samples loaded into a blank 'sample player' patch.
    - I save the project, making sure that all samples are to be saved in their respective folders along with the project.
    - I go and open the project folders, double checking that the samples are indeed saved. Yep - they are.
    - I Send the project file and folder out to my laptop to work on it on the go.
    - I Recheck the files.
    - I load up the project file, all normal samples load, yet the Ultrabeat comes up with a search window and tells me to find EACH. INDIVIDUAL. HIT. Which are located DIRECTLY in the folder that Logic itself saved them in. No tampering. No modifications.
    - Then I spend the next hour manually finding the samples out of the SAME folder...
    You'd think that if I saved a project, along with all files associated with it, and Logic put them in a specific destination folder, that it MIGHT know where to go and find them once it comes time to reopen the project.
    Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Any ideas?
    If not, WAKE UP APPLE.

    That's exactly what I do already, so there is no reason why it should be having a hard time finding the files.
    And, as I mentioned earlier, I double check to make sure that the files were actually copied before I transfer the project and included project folders. Also, when it comes time for Ultrabeat to lose track of the samples, each and every one of them are in the exact same Ultrabeat Samples folder that was created by Logic itself.
    Again, There is no reason why Logic shouldn't just be able to find the files that it itself put into a specific folder within the project file.

  • Why does Final Cut V7 lock up when saving or rendering?

    Why does FCP 7 lock up when I save anything.  Just loaded it onto a new 27"mica.  Can not save or render anything.  Goes into perpetual pinwheel mode.
    Just set up a new 27" iMac.  Looks great, tools seem to work but...very frustrating can't save anything. I have 5 years expience with FCP...
    what obvious thing am I missing here?  HELP PLEASE SOMEONE!  0:

    I moved a complete project file to the internal HD and it worked fine.  This tells me that the
    newer iMac will no longer support he USB.2 external HD dock that I've been using for the last 3 years.
    I've found that keeping big files off of the internal drive keeps my computers running much
    faster and with fewer  "issues."  I just ordered a Firewire external HD dock from OWC.  This will
    likely solve the issue I was having.  They call this "progress."  I just wan't the tools to last longer.
    At least they're a lot cheaper than they were 15 years ago.  : )

  • Why doesn't the enter key respond when saving a web page?

    go to save a web page, complete and when i press the enter key it doesn't work. i have to move the mouse pointer to the save button and click it that way but it slower this way. why won't it let me just push the enter button on my keyboard to save?
    any way to fix this?

    The '''<u>S</u>ave''' button has focus in the Save As window for me, and hitting either Enter or S will work.
    But if I change the File <u>n</u>ame or select a different file Type I have to use the mouse to save it; the focus is away from the Save button.
    If it doesn't work that way for you, see how it works when using the '''Firefox SafeMode'''.

  • Why photoshop Lose a LOT of quality when saving in PNG ?

    Hello
    Why does photoshop lose a lot of quality when you save something in Png ? ( web intended ).. Even if i go through the "save for the web " or not, the result is always sloppy...
    I save Png-24, with transparency and interlaced. like always.
    Sometime it does a good job.. some time it is just sloppy.. Is there anyway to fix that ?..
    Here is the image as it should be ( minus the 3 guide i forgot to remove ).. this is a screenshoot from Photoshop.
    And here is the result.
    Any idea why ?... and what is even more confusing is that when you hit "preview" in the "save for the web" tool you get the perfect picture... but once saved it will be scrap.
    Both the Logo and the Menu button are blurred... ( this is not an effect of zoom here.)
    Any clue ?
    Thanks

    Not quite... Interlacing is used for web images as well... particularly where bandwidth is an issue.

    That is a typical symptom of an image scaled via HTML/CSS.
    The images look identical here when I view them in Photoshop. Scaling in the HTML seems to be the problem.

  • "Not Enough Memory To Load Samples..." hangs Logic

    So I'm sitting here watching my life pass before me as the SBBOD spins and spins. This was the result of my loading an EXS instrument which, halfway through loading generated an error message, "Not enough memory to load samples...". When I clicked "OK" on that dialog box, the SBBOD appeared and continues to spin as I write this.
    And spin...
    And spin...
    The song I'm working on has 30 active instruments, this one would have been #31.
    Anyway, my disgruntled side is wondering if a professionally written application should actually hang upon determining that there isn't enough memory for an operation. Why can't it just have recovered gracefully? Helll, my Akai S1000 wouldn't hang when it ran out of memory... Meanwhile, my calmer wanting-to-get-back-to-work side would love to get some constructive suggestions as to how to prevent this from happening in the future (aside from turning on virtual memory for EXS, which is not an option for me).
    Activity monitor reports that Logic is utilizing 3.06G of Real Memory, 3.51 of Virtual Memory.

    Thanks Justin. Got any suggestions for an external app? This idea is venturing into virgin territory for me...
    The issue, though, is not being able to know at load-time how much RAM any particular EXS instrument uses. It's possible to find out only afterwards how much it uses (by accessing the EXS Prefs panel and clicking on the Sample Storage menu. But doing that in and of itself is risky, as I've known this to also crash Logic). So really, I'd only know when to start using a ReWired app as a sampler after I crash Logic by trying to load up a "last straw" instance of EXS.
    Hey, you're a programmer, right?! Could you write me a routine for Logic that would intercept the loading of a newly selected EXS instrument by first doing a calculation to see how much RAM is required by that instrument, and then reporting if there's enough available RAM to actually load it into? If there isn't enough RAM, the routine would then abort the load. Without crashing, of course.   ;-)
    Whaddya say? (I know the answer, but I just had to ask...)

  • How do I not reload a .swf that is already loaded

    I have this actionscript attached to a button that loads a
    .swf in level 10:
    on (release) {
    _parent.images.gotoAndStop(1);
    loadMovieNum("57Evinrude.swf", 10);
    What would I need to add to the above to stop the movie from
    reloading the same .swf if it's already loaded and I press the same
    button.
    Thanks..

    Yes, it's a movie clip button, and I've got lots of them.
    Each one will load a different .swf file in the same level
    replacing each one before it, and I will need to re-enable the
    previous movie clip button after clicking a different MC button.
    How would I do that? Would I have to give each of the movie clip
    buttons an instance name? I know it action script 101, but I'm
    lost. This is what I have now. How do I re-enable it when I press
    another button, and then I would want that button to become
    inactive until another button is press, and so on.
    on (rollOver) {
    gotoAndPlay(2);

  • Why does Logic Pro 9 add 0.3s silence at start of all my tracks when I "export all tracks as audio files"?

    OK - when I "export all tracks as audio files" it works fine - I get a load of exported tracks (annoyingly with the stupid "_bip" prefix at the end).
    But I find that they all have about 0.3s silence inserted at the start. WHY??!!!
    I checked, and on the timeline all the tracks start with their first note at the beginning of the track so there is no silence in the arrangement. But still this silence on export.
    This Logic feature is so badly designed - why can't it do the simplest things as expected.

    Thank you I will look into plug-in latency compensation. However, there is no latency or need for latency compensation when outputting offline files in this way. Latency compensation is for live playback where real-time processing matters. So this is flawed software design, hence my comments about it being illogical.
    "there is no latency or need for latency compensation when outputting offline files.....etc"
    You don't fully understand how Logic's audio engine and buffering scheme works... not that anyone fully does except the programmers. Basically your above statement is incorrect, as some plugins have built-in-latency and others don't, but that's not the complete picture. The problem is a combination of a plugin's built-in-latency and how Logic buffers data. Logic deactivates the audio engine when stopped, all plugins and software instruments become deactivated including the ability to load or purge data buffers with the exception of a software instrument or audio track that is selected for "live" input.
    (Look up Plug-in-Latency Compensation in the manual for a full explation of the choices available)
    I won't disagree with you about the software design, however, rather than flawed I tend to think of it as antiquated. The positive side of this is extremely low processor use and the ability to design templates with all plugins and software instruments loaded and ready to start a new project. The downside most Logic users are familiar with...  unexpected overloads in the middle of a project when a approaching a region that makes use of processor intensive plugins, Loops that don't match up perfectly when starting a project from bar 1 and/or missing notes at the beginning of MIDI loop if starting at bar 1.... plus a half dozen other anomalies related to Logic's "efficient" audio engine. The efficiency concept made sense back when computers didn't have enough power to handle active or semi-active plugins, seems it causes more problems than not these days.
