Time stretching crashing logic

[karp47]

Option dragging (to time stretch regions) is totally broken for my current setup. Get an infinite hanging beach ball of death and have to force quit.

10.7.2
9.1.5

I have had this happen to me in lion, I noticed that for me it only does it on files that have been dragged in from else where, it does not do it with logics own files.

Simple work around, Just convert to new audio file as soon as you import something and then delete the original. I did also notice that the crash would happen if stretching more than about 25%.

Is there a fix for this yet?
When time stretching especially when I import sample from outside of logic I get the spinning wheel of death. I did read that converting them after import may fix this issue, is that true? Also is there a fix for this so we don't have to go through that extra step?

Thanks

I don't know about importing a sample and getting a crash from that, maybe thats a different problem, this has never happened to me. I maybe recall once or twice it happening with those really bad samples from the net with weird bit rates and pcm audio etc For the time stretching thing as I said before I simply bounce in place or convert to new audio file as soon as I import to avoid this problem, works great, the thing is I'm so used to doing this even if they fixed it I would probably continue doing it out of habit. You can also avoid the crash by switching flex mode on but really bouncing in place asap is better. Also I believe its better practice as you have more copies of your original file. I also believe that if you import an mp3 this will not happen as logic converts it anyway so then you can skip the "bounce" bit.

With the pin wheel thing I was told of a trick by a graphic designer where he would just leave it for about 20 mins, go and make tea or something and on a rare occasion it would come back but that was with photoshop and have only tried it with logic once and it didn't work also the fans were going hell for leather, as I always Apple/S I usually just force quit and away to go.

Im on 9.1.6 and its still happening so I don't think there is a fix yet but again I don't see it as a major problem as it has an easy work around.

I'm getting this same error. There are plenty of workarounds but the option-drag time stretching thing is so habitual for me when editing audio I've recorded, that I keep doing it without thinking and losing everything up to the last save.

Short of saving every 2 minutes and until there's a fix, is there a solution to save it while the beachball's there?

(The old 'kill -s ABRT XXXX' trick doesn't seem to work)

This seems fixed in 9.1.7.
