MIDI Timeout message? [SOLVED]

[jayjaychil]

ok so im getting midi timeout message. doing my nut in. ive been to my library/audio/midi drivers and deleted what was in there. there was only 1 thing in there, i cant remember the name of it. logic's still not working.

I need help people...........please

[jayjaychil]

im having this midi imeout nightmare, gonna try reinstall

[Eriksimon]

Try starting Logic from a different (newly created) User account first.
And no, you will not loose VST's, since you've got none.
And no, reinstalling an app NEVER deletes documents made with that app. That would be silly.
Reinstalling may not help though. Try the user account thing first.

[Eriksimon]

OK, jayjaychil - chill.

Nobody can help you if you provide so little info. For starters, add your Logic version and system info to your signature: Forum Rules - please READ THIS before posting (#5)
After that, explain in more detail what is happening. Does this timeout happens during startup? Does it crash Logic? Does it happen no matter what project you open?
Does it also happen if you create a new user account and start Logic from there?

[jayjaychil]

ok sorry, first time on here.

im running a macbook
2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo
2gb 667 mhz ddr2 sdram
mac osx 10.5.8
logic pro 9 version 9.0.2

It started a few days after i installed trillion. ive since un installed it.

its when i start up logic. And any new or old project it does the same.

Ive read most forums and deleted stuff from my audio units etc.

im thinking of reinstalling but dont know if i will still have all my vst's.................massive, sylenth, panman etc etc.

and obviously i dont want to lose all my work

if you could help mate id be really grateful

cheers

[jayjaychil]

t-racks 3 has not been proberly installed. pls run the installer again to fix. vpa plugin rejected vpa host.

then got this.

.....encountered 1 audio unit plug in which did not pass the AU validation. these plug ins have been excluded from further usage to provent possible problems. you can now start the AU manager to reveiw validation results.

done that. everything says crashed validation. except T-rackS 3.......couldnt be opened

sorry but i was getting no help with the one!

some help rather than a telling off would be useful........

When that happens, all you need to do is bump your thread (by posting a reply yourself).

Sorry jayjay, but you got to play by the rules of the house.

As far as helping you out, based on the info you've provided so far all I can tell is that it sounds like you're dealing with pirated software:

im thinking of reinstalling but dont know if i will still have all my vst's.................massive, sylenth, panman etc etc.

If your software is legit, you don't need to worry about losing anything.

[jayjaychil]

no pirate here. all my stuff is brought and paid for.

my concern is that is i reinstall il lose all my work.

You shouldn't loose anything if you reinstall the exact same versions of the plug-ins you use (sometimes that's not even the case, but better safe than sorry).

Based on the info you've given so far, I don't think you should be reinstalling Logic. Have you tied trashing the Audio Units cache and restarting Logic after that?

J.

[jayjaychil]

ive tried that.

i dont know what to do!

now my mac has stopped dragging and dropping so i cant even drag my work onto a external hard drive.

what to do................

i need some advice pls

[jayjaychil]

i came back to help anyone else having this problem. i run osx 10.5.8 and this worked fine for me. just remember to preserve users and network settings. everything was back to normal after software updates.

hope this helps

Thanks for posting back with your solution. Based on the info you provided about the problems you were having, it seemed like that was going to be your best bet.

Glad to hear the problem is now solved.

I'm sorry, but where is the solution please? It's not in this thread AFAI can see.

I'm having the same problem (MIDI Timeout error message) . Logic follows it with another error message "Deep Architecture! Unpack some Folders." But I hardly have any folders in the song at all. The song is however a work template I use every week, so maybe it has some bug in it somewhere.

I don't know why, but I only ever have seem to these issues on days when there's a heavy deadline coming up!!!

Thx for any help

Sounds like your project is either corrupted and/or it begins prior to bar 1 (i.e in the negative bars). At least that was the problem for this user who was getting both MIDI Timeout and Deep Architecture errors (this thread is mostly in spanish though!):

http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/viewt ... p?p=362102

Never move the project start marker to the negative area...it only brings...negativity!

EDIT: OK, now I noticed you already found a solution:

Corruption.

Hi Jordito, thank you, kind of you to reply!

My song does (did) indeed have a start point of minus 8 bars. I chopped out everything before 1 1 1 1 and the problem has disappeared. I will change my template too, to fix that.

I'm REALLY glad to have found this solution. Last time I had this problem I was on a really stressy day and had to move all the audio into another song , on another computer actually, to keep on working.

So your advice, and David's, is really valuable.

many thanks again
