I just upgraded to Logic 10.3.2 and am having a tiny, yet infinitely infuriating problem. When I go to select a region with 3 fingers, it will highlight the region, but not actually "select" it. That is, I have to also actually hard click (not tap) on the region for it to be selected and then be able to copy it or move it or whatever. It's a tiny thing but is really slowing my normally quick pace of working. Anybody have a similar experience? Any fixes?

Man this thread is from 4 years ago, but it's the only instance I can find where somebody is having exactly the same problem as I am. If these old posters are still around, did you find any work arounds for this seemingly simple issue? I'm wandering around in circles trying to find a way to export all the tracks as AIFF and have them be named correctly. The track header and the regions are the 100% correct name, but when I bounce them, SOME of them end up being "Inst 2_1" etc Anybody have any thoughts? I'm bouncing stems for 15 sessions today and I'm pulling my hair out! Thx!

Thanks for the reply. No, it's all internal soft synths. All in the box. Still have no idea what it is or how to remedy it.

I'm a professional composer (not a tech, as will be obvious as you read further) and I finally upgraded to Logic X last week. I waited for a long time to make sure that the 3rd party 32-bit bridges were sound and I took the plunge. However I'm having a devil of a time figuring out an issue that no one else seems to be having: Periodically, the MIDI will drop out in playback just for 5ms or so, nothing major but enough to be really annoying. Playback doesn't stutter, it stays in time, and the audio is fine - it's just the MIDI. I can't seem to always recreate the problem except most of the time if I delete a track, there's a brief lag in playback which is essentially the "sound" of the problem. I've gone back and made sure I never had this issue in 9 (even the deleting a track in 9 doesn't make the playback drop out) It's like the computer is "thinking" and puts the MIDI on hold for a brief second but the playback stays constant. And the drop out is not always reliant on me giving it a command, sometimes it'll just do it when I haven't touched anything. I've messed around with the processing threads (currently 12), the buffer range (currently small) and a host of other things but I can't get it to not do it. It will do it if I edit the MIDI in realtime but only sometimes. The only time I can get it to do it is when I delete a track, and that's still not every time. I guess my question is this: is Logic X using different processing than 9? I can't understand why it's not rock-solid for me like 9 - nothing has changed except the software. Does X not like my interface or something? Is it not using the cores in my MP correctly? Am I an idiot? (don't answer that) Help! My workflow is suffering. I'm about to have to go back to 9 if I can't figure this out.

Thanks a ton for the advice. I'll grab the esata set up today. One last quick question: should I definitely keep the samples and the audio on separate drives? Thanks again.

I just picked up a new 2.8 i7 17" MacBook pro w a 7200 512g internal hd. I've got a bunch of 500gb USB2 drives for backups on my studio machine. Im going on a big tour but i need to be able to continue my current scoring work flow from the road. I do mainly film scoring, very little audio, pretty heavyweight sample-based music with big sessions. My tower at the studio has 3 500gb internal drives that I have as HD, Samples and Audio (projects) My question is: What is the best configuration for my drives to maximize the new mbp? Should I get new drives or can I rework these USB drives as external sample and project sources? I've hears I should never partition, is this true? I need this to be as close to powerful as my studio tower. Any and all help is much appreciated.
