I have a client coming who uses LPX 10.6.2 on a new Mac, and my setup is on an old Mac Pro running Mojave and LPX 10.5.1. If he copies his sessions to a stick drive will my earlier version open them with no issues? Thanks.

Thank you!

[*]Arghhh! I wrote SMPTE frames when I meant to write SMPTE bits. If I'm at 29.97 drop frame rate, how many ms would 1 SMPTE bit be?

When I record acoustic guitar with a SDC and also from the pickup I have to zoom into the D.I waveform and nudge it back two SMPTE frames for it to be exactly in phase with the mic. How long is that in milliseconds? Is there any way to accomplish this in realtime for a live performance? Thank you.

Thank you everyone for the responses. In the end, I was able to restore the sessions from a backup I had forgotten about. The culprit was not the new OS or LPX upgrade but an unwitting mistake I had made months ago when replacing a dying hard drive and restoring my files from the wrong source. Pilot error.

I just allowed my studio Mac to upgrade Logic Pro to 10.4 and an OS 10.13.2 Security Update. A client emailed to ask me for some rough mixes of an album project we've been working on for two years. I go to my "Music Projects" drive and there are all six songs with NO Logic sessions in their respective folders. Some rough mixes, that should have been, and were, in the Bounces folders are there but no Logic icon or folder array as there were the last time I visited the project a few weeks ago. I am very alarmed. The two sets of backups I have show the same absence. Of course I did not nor would ever delete critical session files on six songs currently in progress. It is as if the LPX folder heirarchy has become unreadable. I don't know whether the Apple OS or the LPX update is responsible but I am freaking out that two years work, fully backed up, could somehow be non-retrievable. Has anyone encountered anything like this since 10.4?

Thanks everyone.

I have never found a good way to adjust the gain of individual left and right channels in a stereo file. Using the Imaging plugin or pan pot isn't quite the same. Does it involve converting the Interleaved file to Dual Mono or is there a better way? When Bias Peak was around you could select one half of the waveform and make adjustments to only that half.

Aha. Many thanks! I'll use the region parameters box in future.

I used to be able to double-click on a region and access an editor window with a menu where I could change gain of the audio in the region at the waveform level. It was always part of my workflow to get my gain structure where I wanted it before mixing, but now it seems to have gone in 10.2.4. Can I still access those editing parameters somewhere? Thanks

Cool. Not happening so far but the M-One only does 44.1 or 48k and my projects are usually 96k so I'm engaging the SRC button in the UA Console. However, the lock with the M-One is not happening. The lock status is blinking. I'll keep trying stuff.

Thanks Eric, yes, that's what I want to do, but how would the bussing look inside LP and do I use the I/O plugin to send and return outside the software environment?

Hi all, I'm wanting to use my old TC M-One reverb with my otherwise in-the-box setup and not sure how to get an aux send in LPX 10.2.4 to route out to the AES digi inputs of my UA Apollo 16 v.1 and on to the reverb's digi I/O. I imagine I would use the I/O plugin to do this but when I tried it I got no signal flow. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I tried them all, to no avail. What did greatly lower the CPU load to where the song would play correctly without distortion and pops, was totally counter-intuitive. I had my Process Buffer set to large in Prefs, thinking that was easing the load on the CPU. In desperation I set it to small and immediately the CPU meter dropped. I'd dtill like to know why one or two cores get maxed or nearly maxed while the others are idle. I thought the thread allocation was dynamic and automatic. Thanks.

Hi, I have a 2010 2.8GHz Quadcore Mac Pro with 32GB RAM running Yosemite. Logic Pro X 10.2. I'm mixing a project containing 2-4 virtual instruments and 20-35 audio tracks, not always playing at the same time. A mixture of Native plugins and UAD2 plugins. I have my buffer set to 1024 and Process buffer set to large. What I'm seeing is that in the CPU/HD display in LPX the first four "meters" are in the very comfortable range, 5-7 are not active and 8 is almost maxing out, sometimes actually maxing out and causing distortion. I have tried the audio prefs core usage set to Automatic and to 8 with no apparent change. Can anyone tell me why the processing load is not being distributed somewhat evenly among the cores? Anything to try? ( I prefer not doing bounce-in place for VIs, as I tweak them often in the mixdown) Thanks
