  1. Something else try. Set the Playhead to Bar 1, then click on the Playhead Position (Bars) field in the Control Bar, and drag to a negative value like -1. The start marker should appear. Saw this in an old 2014 post.
  2. One other thing... Be able to control "input gain" before it hits the channel. I've read that some interfaces do this with Logic, and some don't. However, Cubase, Studio One, even little Reaper allows me to adjust incoming gain but not Logic (it's greyed out). Logic was my first Daw and I still use it, but less and less due to some features not being improved from 10-15 years ago. Apple is supposed to be the king of the easy to use interface, but Logic is showing some age. IMHO.
  3. For me, I'd love to see "drag-drop" for effects, virtual instruments and maybe presets. Maybe a browser for those same items. I've grown weary of the little drop downs in the channel strips. Also, whats with all the blank space at the top of the mixer window, in in full-screen mode. A resizable mixer would be great.
  4. Yes, always use external drives for backup. Yet, I located a large snapshot on the OS drive. I was able to shutoff the snapshot feature in CCCloner and all is good. Backups still working as expected. Thx!
  5. I discovered that "APFS snapshots" were taking up some space that I couldn't recover no matter how much I deleted from the OS drive. Once I removed the snapshot, I recovered the space. I use Carbon Copy Cloner for backup, it created the snapshots, don't know if Time Machine does something similar. I found a terminal command to list and then remove the snapshot file, should be easy to search for that. Make sure run full backup before tinkering with this.
  6. I too have developed a little tinnitus over the years, so I am super careful about noise of any sort, not just with music. Like the other poster said, "open-back headphones" are best if you want to be careful. Personally I think they sound better too if you get a nice set. I also avoid in-ear of any kind, I feel a speaker inside my ear canal is too close to the ear drum, for my situation. Get a Sound level meter app for your phone. I use mine to measure headphone volume, then I set the audio interface and I don't go over that mark, I think I'm at 47-50db on my headphones and speakers. I use this one. NIOSH Sound Level Meter App | NIOSH | CDC Also this site. Decibel Chart of Common Sounds | dB Comparing Decibel Levels (decibelpro.app). There is a noise level-maximum exposure chart on it. Over 85db for too long is where damage starts.
  7. This is a huge topic to answer easily. Perhaps you can check this podcast. I found it very useful. Lots of good info to listen to, he also has a great Youtube channel called "Production Advice".
  8. Noise blast from hell hasn't happened here since maybe a year ago, but I keep Ice9 Automute plugin on my master. I don't use lots of 3rd party plugins, so I was able to trouble shoot easily. I never could pin it down; it was so random. I also use Studio One, they have the same issue going on over there. Go check out the Reaper, Protools, Cubase forums, they also have the noise blast troubles. Not just a Logic problem, so what the heck is going on?
  9. I had an similar error a few weeks ago when copying files to another drive, after I upgraded to Big Sur from High Sierra. The error code, was 4 or 5, cant remember. Anyway, I looked at the Info window for my backup drive, I noticed that my permission was not set correctly, I reset so I had full access. Error went away.
  10. Is Software Monitoring enabled. Preferences > Audio > General
  11. HI. Did not abandon Logic, but did invest in Studio One (S1). Hard to predict if building a hackintosh will be viable in my future, depends what Apple does to their OS. Cannot update to the newest Logic version since I'm stuck with High Sierra and I don't want to rebuild the OS my hackintosh pc. I predict I'll be using S1 only someday so I've been moving that way slowly. I use Logic primarily for recording midi percussion\drums then export all that to S1 for mixing\recording. I use both about the same. Both have great features. Sadly I can't justify the cost of a Mac anymore, and I really don't want a Macmini, I prefer an expandable desktop case.
  12. Yep. I too was invested in Apples ecosystem, they finally priced me out though.
  13. Hackintosh? Little bit of work but more bang for the buck. Plus you can contain all your SSD storage inside the case instead of a mess of usb cables hanging off the mac. I have 2, runs great.
  14. This has happened to me a few times. My end of project was way out in "no mans land". Possibly your end of project is not set? Customize your "Control Bar and Display", and enable "Key Signature/Project End". Check what the project number is and adjust it. I've learned to keep an eye on this setting. (I had an screenshot of this but can't get it to display).
  15. Try looking here. There is a Toy Pianos section. https://www.pianobook.co.uk/library
