  1. SOLUTION HERE: I hope this helps some people, as it fixed it for me. I'm not sure if this is exactly the same issue, as there seems to be some discrepancy on this thread. Quick context backstory. I upgraded to the new Mac mini with M1 chip, with brand new PreSonus StudioLive 16.0.2 USB as hardware/interface. I previously have been using a "frozen in time" version of Logic (10.2.4) with the PreSonus StudioLive Firewire model with no issues for 5+ years. As a creature of habit, making the jump to the current update of Logic on a new computer with a USB board to replace the firewire interface was a BIG DEAL for me! I monitor everything exclusively through hardware only. Upon loading my standard user project template after finally migrating all my settings, preferences, plugins, presets, and key commands, I tried recording a simple DI keyboard part—audio, not midi—and upon playing it back, noticed an audible delay. The part is behind the beat considerably, and you can SEE IT in the region. It's not a matter of playing back late, it is literally being recorded with some sort of latency. After some forum digging and troubleshooting, I've isolated the cause of the problem to my master output channel, where my template is automatically loaded with a lengthy mastering chain of plugins in bypass. The problem child is the ADAPTIVE LIMITER. When I try recording with it on, the region waveform is late. When I record with it in bypass, the region waveform is late. When I record after I remove the Adaptive Limiter plugin entirely from the master channel, the region waveform is perfectly in time. Reference image: Take 7, WITHOUT Adaptive Limiter on master. Take 8, WITH Adaptive Limiter on master. While a quick fix may be to go about removing all master plugin chains, I realized how annoying that would be if I want to open old projects and re-record or add parts without affecting my working mix & master. This was never an issue in my old version of Logic on my 2015 MacBook Pro, surely it should be possible to keep my templates and workflow the same with a state-of-the-art brand new computer and latest-greatest version of Logic. More digging and troubleshooting. THE FIX FOR ME: In Preferences>Audio>General, MAKE SURE TO UNCHECK "Software Monitoring" AND "Input monitoring only for the focused track (as in GarageBand)" AND "independent monitoring level for record-enabled channel strips." If you use hardware monitoring like I do, UNCHECK all three of these boxes. For Plug-In Latency, my Compensation is set to "All," "Playback pre-roll" is checked ON, and "Low Latency Mode" is OFF. I can only theorize that somewhere in the data transfer stream from keyboard to interface to computer, the software monitoring or whatever GarageBand input monitoring thing was causing latency in the signal without accounting or compensating for the lookahead in plugins like Adaptive Limiter. If your workflow is like mine, and you record primarily real instruments and lots of audio tracks with meticulously laid out templates with your own dialed presets, channel strips settings, and plug ins, hopefully the 10 minutes it took me to write out my experience will save you heartache and frustration if you're experiencing weird latency issues upon playback of recorded tracks.
  2. I'm having the same problem... Upgraded from a MBP with Leopard to a MBP with Lion, and can't load any EXS24 instruments! Has anyone found a fix for this?
  3. Upon updating my audio driver, I realized I accidentally changed the recording delay (Preferences > Audio) from 0 to +5000. I just tracked about 8 hours worth of drum tracks, which are all now off the grid (late) by 5000 samples. I want to be able to shift all my tracks 5000 samples earlier so it lines up with the click... How do I do that without just blindly dragging stuff? Thank you Derik
  4. I have Logic 9. Do I HAVE to uninstall Logic 8 in order to sell it? I'm scared of messing with all of those files! The brick that is Logic Studio is just collecting dust now that I'm using Logic 9... In a nutshell, if I sell somebody the Logic Studio brick, will they be able to install it without me having to uninstall and delete a bunch of stuff from the Logic folder in Finder?
  5. nope... no different tempos... i'm not even matching to the grid, just recording free (since it's piano vocal, there's some liberty as far as tempo goes). So far I've stripped out the vocal track onto two channels... one that assigns pitch correct, one that doesn't. So far it sounds okay, but it's a hassle... I feel like there should be a way to do it regularly with track automation to bypass the plugin. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!
  6. I'm only doing a simple piano/vocal project... I've automated a few bars of the vocal track with the Pitch Correct plugin. About a second or two after the effect applies, a click or pop is heard. If I play the specified segment enough, Logic "learns" it. However, the problem persists even when freezing the track or bouncing. Any help? As you might imagine, this is frustrating the hell out of me! I'm about to buy a four channel multitrack!!
  7. HAHA T.Maclaine, you have no idea... well said...
  8. I'm getting the same error CONSTANTLY, and it's not my driver. I've got a Presonus Firepod interface, which doesn't require downloading a driver when you run it with a Mac. Any thoughts anyone?
  9. you're a genius, worked like a charm... thanks david
  10. I was working on a session that used a few different MIDI instrument tracks, just some standard soft synths in Logic. After saving my session and going to sleep, I woke up the next morning, turned everything on, loaded my song, only to realize that I could no longer control or play ANYTHING from my MIDI keyboard!! I tried turning things on and off in a number of different orders... I opened a brand new logic file and that works fine, no problems. Ultrabeat, mixer, everything is recognized just fine in a new song-- BUT NOT IN MY SONG THAT I SPENT HOURS ON!! I've read through the forums, and can't squash this for the life of me. I have a fairly basic setup: 13" black MacBook w/ Student Logic Pro, Presonus Firepod, and an external hard drive (so Logic can run faster without tying up the internal). Help!
  11. Mine looks like a logic/kontakt problem, also... I tried changing buffer sizes, sample rates, bouncing down, freezing tracks... everything. I've used Kontakt on a desktop mac before w/ no problems, maybe my laptop just sucks... Moral of the story, it kept clicking and going crazy on me that I had to just use a shitty garage band piano patch instead. I think I'm going to just get ballsy and record a real piano next time... good luck
