  1. I found the problem in Controller Assignments! A volume controller message was being sent to the midi instruments. It was listed in a zone setting reserved for the Euphonix Artist Controller. Recently, I activated the Euphonix Controller just for the faders for a project. I'm guessing When it was disabled later, Logic started sending the message to the midi instruments. All I can say is thank you for your suggestions, you are very much appreciated.
  2. No program changes happen on the ES8. The voice preset volumes are still full on Logic and the ES8. I have used factory reset and default settings on both Logic and the synths. Checked settings as this occurs and midi data is fine and levels are fine within Logic. The RME Fireface has the TotalMix app and the signal through that does not show until I press the voice button again. Only thing is checking other DAWs and this does not occur leaving me to believe that it's Logic possibly transmitting something like you suggested but I can't find that. I have a short video at https://youtu.be/ARehlyM1Dno to better explain
  3. Yes, the instrument or voice preset button I am referring to is on the Yamaha ES8 or Roland Fantom and V-Synths all have voice presets. I can't find why I have to press those voice buttons every time I leave that external track in Logic Pro 10.4.4. When I return to the instrument track with any external synth located on it, I have to press the voice button again on the synth to here the external sound generator for any voice. When using other DAWs like Studio One, Bitwig, Ableton or Mixbus this particular thing doesn't happen. It never happened in Logic Pro X either until now.
  4. Recently when instantiating an external instrument track, the external instrument will not play until pressing the instrument preset button every time the track is activated. If I activate any other track in the project and come back to the external instrument track, the external instrument preset button has to be pressed again in order to hear any sound coming from the external sound generator. I haven't had to do this ever before. When using external instruments, the sound generator always played whatever preset was active. I could activate any track in the project and when coming back to the external instrument track, it played without having to press any extra buttons. Whats even more strange is that there is mid activity and signal even when you can't hear the external sounds until pressing the instrument preset button again. I'm lost with this one, hoping someone can shed some light on this.
  5. Thank you David, Yes I use the Fireface 800 as master clock and the 400 as auto-sync or slave. The 75 ohm termination is lit on the 400. BNC "word out" from the 800 to "word in" on the 400. The firewire 800 cable goes to the Mac and a firewire 400 comes out of the Fireface 800 and goes to the Fireface 400 firewire bus. The Fireface settings are set with the 800 clicked to master and word clock set to coaxial. The 400 is set to auto-sync, the system clock mode says slave and input status says sync on both word clock and ADAT. I ordered some new cables from Sweetwater just in case. Maybe there's some intermittent issue with the signals. Since both interfaces appear to be operating correctly by themselves, it would lean towards either the cabling or the Mac. Since the Mac was okay with the single operation I hope its one of the cables. I changed a few that I had extra but it wouldn't hurt to change them all. I'll keep posting the progress. Thank you so very much for you're replies. Joe
  6. I have used the Fireface 800 by itself and then used the Fireface 400 by itself. The bad scratchy distorted audio does not occur when using each interface by itself. I created another aggregate device last night and opened a new Logic Pro X project at 48khz. I have 3 external hardware synths that I use most of the time and the audio was clear with them. When I created a software instrument, the audio from that software instrument became very scratchy and distorted. I tried an audio track in the same project with an apple loop and it was also distorted. When I clicked back to either one of the external synths, the audio was clear as a bell. All the audio tracks and software instrument tracks I created were distorted and terrible sounding. I wonder if this could narrow something down so someone could have an idea of what is going on? Again, I checked all sample rates for any discrepancy and everything was okay. Audio Midi settings were consistent with the sample rate as well. Thank you Joe
  7. I found that when I removed one of the firewire hard drives from the same Mac firewire hub that the firefaces were connected to, the problem disappeared. The problem has not returned for several months.
  8. I use two RME Firefaces, an 800 and a 400. and a MacPro 2010 quad core with Logic Pro X. I've been having an ongoing issue for quite some time with audio quality suddenly becoming very scratchy while working on a project. Just all of a sudden the audio begins sounding LoFi and scratchy like there are conflicting sample rates somewhere. However, I can't find any visible conflict. I've tried resetting core audio and the interfaces but when that doesn't help most times I have to restart the Mac to get it to go away. Soon it may or may not happen again while working the same project. I've checked all software instruments digital outs to make sure they are sending at 44.1 to match the projects sample rates as well as the external synths where applicable. I've Changed cables. Made sure nothing goes to sleep or apps trying to update etc.. and WiFi is off. I'm lost with this. I'm hoping someone could shed some light on this problem.
  9. I was cleaning up my files the other day and noticed my custom EXS24 instruments in Users/Music/Logic folder. I then went to Users/ApplicationSupport/Logic and saw the same folder with the same instruments. Thinking that there must have been some glitch with the double files, I deleted the custom instruments in the Users/Music/Logic folder which I thought was just for projects. However both folders are now gone along with all the custom instruments I created. After the housekeeping was complete for the day, I deleted the trash. Anyway, my question is why were the two folders mirrored like that? I didn't physically move them or copy them at any other time. Hope somebody finds this question so some light may be shed on this seemingly strange incident. Thank You, Joe
  10. I've been having the same problem with "Heap corruption detected, free list canary is damaged" while loading instruments into Kontakt 5.3.0 either standalone or plug-in mode. Native Instruments has sent me several emails with fixes that proved completely useless. I am using Mavericks OSX and of course the problem started happening shortly after the installation. The last fix that NI sent was to re-install Kontakt which I did without the libraries. After finding a lot of folks having the same issue, it doesn't make much sense to re-install the Komplete 9 package, unless of course that is the fix that has proved successful. If someone has found something to correct this, it would be great if it could be posted. Thank you Jamr
  11. Yes, I've contacted them. Not a good experience. Suspect that Soundflower was the problem. Not sure yet, but understand that Soundflower was no longer supported by Apple. It didn't even occur to me that it might be that since it's been inside the aggregate device for quite some time, both the 2 channel and the 64 channel. Both were removed and so far the sync problem hasn’t been duplicated. If it happens again, I'll keep it posted. Hopefully this is the end of it, but if anyone has experienced similar problems than feedback would be very much appreciated. Thank you, Joe
  12. I am still using Logic Pro 9.1.8 with Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I am having an issue with both RME interfaces losing sync lock. The interfaces will just start blinking with the red lights when using Logic where I have to actually turn both off manually before they will lock on again. There doesn't seem to be any particular reason why they just stop working. I have re-installed the drivers after deleting all the related files I could find, but it keeps happening. This has been happening now for several months and was hoping that someone could shed some light on this problem. I've had both interfaces for a couple years and didn't have this issue until recently. When Lion came out some time ago, I attempted an upgrade but my MacPro went haywire afterwards. I had to take it to Simply Mac to have it checked out, it was that bad. Everything was put back together after several days of diagnostics. This happened some time ago and the interfaces were working fine for a few months after the fiasco. Now they are not. Any help would be very much appreciated Thank you, Jamr
  13. Thank you very much for all the help. The file finally uploaded. It only took 5 days! I just let it go and went to Vegas. ... Just kidding. I got it to work just fine after I stopped thinking about it and asked for help here. I wasn't zipping the project as a whole thing along with the audio files. The actual project was coming out in three pieces of data files. Logic Pro Help is really the only place that I want to get information like this. Pretty sure we are back in the middle ages with google searches. Who really wants information that's 13 or more years old for technology unless your doing a history project? So many thanks to all you guys here. Take Care JamLabs
  14. Thank you very much David. I am still having issues with the file attempting to upload to Dropbox. the project is only .88Gb and Dropbox is still saying the file is too large even though I have 102 Gb available storage. Any suggestions you may have for easier collaboration? Thank you, Jamlabs
  15. Oh, I am using a Mac Pro with Snow leopard. Logic Pro 9.1.8. I know about the FTP client built in but don't know how to get that to work either. Thank you, Jamlabs
