It's deselected already. It's a weird problem with the preference file. AS soon as any change to it is made, such as changing a key command, it doesn't bounce. I delete preferences, reboot, and it works. Make a preferences change and it doesn't until I delete preferences and reboot. Reinstalled Logic from scratch: Same issue. Basically, I tried everything I can besides a full format and re-instal of the OS from scratch. Possible, but would be VERY disruptive to my work flow (for obvious reasons).

Follow up: I deleted Logic X, deleted all preferences, and then reinstalled it. Still no go. I have to trash the preferences, reboot, and then I can bounce a session only until something somewhere changes the preferences file, then it gives me the beach ball every time I select bounce (won't even bring up the menu). Repairing permissions did not help.

I'm having a perplexing reoccurring bug with Logic X after upgrading to Mavericks. Sessions run as usual without any problems but as soon as I go to bounce a session I get an eternal spinning beach ball of death (If I left it on for a full day it would still be sitting there when I came back. The only way I'm able to bounce is to trash the logic preferences and reboot the computer. The second I make a single change to the preferences (like say, changing the key commands) it goes back to not bouncing again. It's repeatable 100% of the time and trashing the prefs only sometimes fixes this issue. Anyone else having this issue? I haven't tried re-installing Logic yet *that's next on my list*

Nvm. I fixed it. I Just trashed the preferences and it's working as it's supposed to. Nothing to see here. Mavericks update must have hosed my preference file or some such.

I ended up updating to Mavericks with LPX (latest version) and now it gives me the beach ball of death every time I try to bounce a project. It doesn't matter which one. Anyone else experience this?

I have LPX, but I also have a parallel installation of LP9 for older sessions that use non-64 bit plugins. I also like to use WaveBurner, even though they stopped updating it after LP9. Has anyone tried running LP9 with Mavericks? How about WaveBurner? Does it work? If not, I'll be forced to delay upgrading for a bit so I can still access the older sessions. No use having tabbed Finder windows if it stops my access to pre-64 bit only sessions.

Get an app called '32 lives'. It's an adapter that will let a lot of 32 bit plugins work in Logic X. It doesn't work with everything, but I installed it and had fairly good success (only a few didn't work). It was nice to have some of the older 32 bit abandonware plugs in Logic X. Hope this helps.

I've heard a lot of weird claims about Logic. I read one 'actual' article that made the claim that Logic was obscure and hardly used by anyone (even though it's one of the major competing pieces of DAW software that's found along side Pro Tools in most studios that I've ever been in). The same article made the claim that Apple was dropping all Logic support (about a month before Logic X was released. . . lol) I've heard people make the claim that it's $200 price meant it wasn't 'serious software'. . . total joke. The fact that you get so much DAW for $200 is great. Why would you want to get less for more money? I've heard people complain about any sort of feature that might 'reek' of Garageband (don't use the features you don't need: It's still a powerful piece of software whether you use the additional bells and whistles or not) The mix engine? Does it sound good to you? It sounds good to me. I actually like the mix engine quite a bit more than Pro Tools. At the end of the day, use whatever gets you a good sound. If you get it out of freeware, use that. . . There is no right or wrong software to use, so long as the output is something that's pleasing to your target audience. Nobody is going to give a wazoo what software you used when they're listening to the music you create. it's either a sound they like or it isn't.

A new machine would be fine for anybody, but that model of a mac runs just fine. I run a studio off of a 2008 model mac pro running Logic 9/X and it churns out quality work, gives me next to no downtime, and doesn't tend to impede my productivity. I don't have that much headaches with it at all. Some of the newer computers would obviously run things even faster, but if your goal is to make some quality music/audio, that is: for the time being, a pretty solid setup. You can always max out the ram or put a DIY processor upgrade into it since it's past the warrantee and it'll be a good computer at least for a few years (unless Apple cuts off support artificially for it of course). If you have an extra $4,000 to burn, then just get a brand new Mac pro but there's nothing wrong with the 2008 Mac Pro for the time being.

N/M I found it. It's actually in the control bar (up at the top) custom setting not the track header (to the left of the track timeline). Click the gear icon to the left of the bar/beat display and then it'll show up like Logic users are used to. *ahhh much better*

Hmmm. I don't see that. I went into the track header settings, and I don't see any option regarding chords. I would very much like that option to be on as I liked it in LP9.

Found one. The ability to change the length of a midi region in the piano roll, vs having to go to the arrange page and pulling it left or right that way.

Sorry, but can not see this happening! 32Bit Bridge was buggy to begin with, and 64bit is the future, has been for 3 years or so now. Logic will get VST support back before 32bit again.... RIP SupaTrigga, LiveCut.... Yeah, it's for the best in the long run *right off the bat Logic X is WAAAAAAAAAAAY snappier than Logic 9 was*. With that said, it's going to mean that it'll be a while before I can transition 100% to Logic X from Logic 9, since there are some semi-obscrure plugins that I ABSOLUTELY need that haven't been updated to 64bit. Time to bug the developer.

My big worry is that Apple will try to pull something like making 10.9 not work with anything other than the brand new Mac Pro (which would cost a fortune to upgrade to from a current Mac Pro) and then make Logic X only work on 10.9.
