  1. I just updated to 10.7.5 just in case, but that didn't correct the problem.
  2. I'm working a song and I have Melodyne on one track, and when I play the song this track is out of sync with the others. The sound is early relative to the other tracks and to the waveform--i.e. I can hear audio slightly before the playhead reaches the start of the waveform. If I disable Melodyne, the problem goes away. Anyone know how to fix this? I'm on Logic 10.7.4, Melodyne 5.3.0.11, and MacOs 12.4.
  3. Whenever I try to load up a UB patch that requires samples, I get the old "Some additional content is needed for this project..." message, despite the fact that I already have the full set of content. I have repeatedly tried letting it reinstall what it thought was missing, and I have tried reinstalling the entire library, to no effect. I have my content on a separate drive and have verified that after going through the reinstall process, the newly installed files do indeed have updated "date added" timestamps. I don't have this problem with the Sampler plugin. Any ideas as to what's going on, or suggestions to troubleshoot? I can load the samples manually, but obviously don't want to have to do that every time I use UB. I'm on LPX 10.6.1, MacOs 10.15.7, MacBook Pro 2019. I don't use Ultrabeat all that often, so I'm not sure what updates or other changes may have been made since the last time I used it without having this problem.
  4. My primary workstation is a 2008 8-core 2.8 ghz Mac Pro. Lately I've been having some problems with some Logic projects playing smoothly--I get frequent pops and occasional system overloads--and it seems most often to be due primarily to a handful of plugins (especially SoundToys, for some reason). I've messed with buffer settings already and I think I'm good there. I've also adjusted my workflow to use more sends and less plugins on individual tracks--this is okay, but in some cases it forces me to use an otherwise suboptimal arrangement. I will likely have an opportunity to acquire a 2010 iMac for free in the near future, which I was thinking I might be able to use as a slave for my plugins, via Vienna Ensemble Pro. I don't know the exact specs but I suspect it's the base level setup for that line, which would be a 3.06 ghz i3 processor, 4 GB RAM. I'm trying to figure out whether or not doing this will be worth wile. Downsides: there's additional overhead in setting up and running a session, not to mention that controlling some plugins within Logic and others elsewhere is not an ideal workflow; also, my workspace is already a bit cramped--I'm sure I can find somewhere to put the iMac (especially with a sufficiently long ethernet cable), but it would take up a lot of space relative to what it's being used for (i.e. I won't be using the monitor most of the time). I know this is a little ambiguous, but can anyone give me an idea of what kind of benefit I can expect from this addition? Other things I should consider?
  5. Decided to delete LPX and see what happens when I reinstall. Indeed, I was given a message stating that OSX 10.11 is required for the latest version of Logic, but was allowed to download the latest OSX 10.10 version instead.
  6. I don't seem to have any option to update to 10.3.1. I checked the Updates tab on the App Store, nothing; Purchased tab shows Logic but no option to update it. Any ideas? I'm on Yosemite. I didn't see anything to suggest that El Cap or Sierra was required for this update but maybe...?
  7. I'm in the process of upgrading to LPX from LP9. I've installed LPX and just the "essential" additional content that auto downloads when you start the application, and I'm wondering the best way to handle the rest of the additional content. I currently have all my samples and apple loops on a secondary drive, and from what I gather I can't direct logic to install additional content to that location. It also looks like I'm able to select what additional content I want to download, but that there isn't a way to simply download everything that isn't already included in LP9. Does anyone have any suggestions on the easiest way to make sure I have all the content in the desired locations without duplicates? For the sample instruments present in both versions of Logic, does the sample content in LPX contain at least all the files from LP9? I'm thinking it would be easy enough to simply overwrite my old folder for Ultrabeat samples, for example, with the new one. BTW, I searched for previous posts on this issue but didn't find any; if anyone knows of a place this is already covered, please let me know.
  8. Nigel, Thanks a lot! I did have Logic assigned to a space, and switching to All Desktops fixed it. Hopefully Apple will fix the bug soon. (hahahaha) -J
  9. MC = Mission Control You can change some of the key commands that MC uses in the system prefs, but not (apparently) the one that uses control + left/right arrow.
  10. I had this problem when I first started using Logic in 10.8, too. Mountain Lion, by default, uses control + left/right arrow to switch work spaces in Mission Control, though I don't know if that would have any impact if you aren't using multiple spaces. That MC key command doesn't appear to be adjustable in the system preferences, so I just changed the Logic key command to control + command + arrow. It may seem like a pain, but it only took a short while to get used to it.
  11. My cursor isn't changing as it should under certain circumstances in Logic. The behavior hasn't been entirely consistent, so it's a bit difficult to describe accurately. For example, when I hover over the bottom right corner of a region in the arrange window and expect to see the region length change cursor, the normal pointer cursor remains. I can click and adjust the region as I would expect, and usually the cursor will change at this point, but not when I just hover over the appropriate spot. Some of the time, the cursor will then remain "stuck" after I finish adjusting the region length. This happens with other tools as well, and not only in hover/context-specific situations. If I hit escape and then select a tool from the pop-up menu, the cursor doesn't always change. Cursors for the pencil, zoom, and marquee tools appear to always work, but all others are inconsistent. This is a recent install of Logic 9.1.7 on Mountain Lion (a clean install of the OS on a new boot volume), but the problem didn't appear until at least a couple weeks after installation. I can't think of any other changes I made around the time the problem started, but it's certainly possible I'm forgetting something. Does anyone have any idea what's causing the problem? Thanks.
  12. Thanks for that info, Ski. I should say that I was not thinking about importing for the purpose of using Logic's notation editor, but rather to separate each part or "voice" into separate tracks for sequencing purposes. When I import MIDI files from Sibelius into Logic it's exclusively for the purpose of creating a recording of what I've notated, and I don't pay much attention to what Logic's notation editor says at that point. Of course, I don't know if this is what the OP was going for...
  13. Any recommendations? I like the Western Digital Caviar drives. You can find very cheap OEM versions on Amazon. Black is the best in terms of performance, but if you record live with mics in the same room as your computer, you may want to think about the Green line, which apparently runs more quietly. The nice thing about the Black line is that those drives come with a 5-year warranty. I've had a couple for 3 years now and they've always worked well.
  14. I don't know if this is possible in Logic, but Sibelius has excellent part management capabilities, so you'd likely be able to find a good way to accomplish the split you want before exporting to MIDI. There might be an easier, more elegant way of doing this, but off the top of my head I can think of this: 1. After your score is finished, save as to create a new version that you're going to mess up a little. Call it "song name for export" or something like that. 2. Add a new staff for each voice you're going to extract from an existing staff. For example, if you are writing for chorus and you have one staff for male voices and one staff for female voices and you want to create a separate MIDI track for Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bass, you would add two staves. 3. Select all the measures of one of the staves you want to split, and use the filter to select only the notes for one of the voices in that staff. 4. Cut those filtered notes and paste them into your newly created staff. 5. Once you've done this for all staves with multiple voices, your score is ready to export. If the bulk of what you're doing is making piano reductions into larger arrangements, look into Sibelius' Explode function. If there is a quick and easy way to accomplish this task in Logic, I'd love to hear it, too. But I think this kind of process is likely better handled by Sibelius.
  15. I noticed this is labeled as "Part Deux," is there a "Part Un?" I searched but couldn't find anything else. Thanks.
