Hello Ladour, even though your description is a little bit confusing, I'm trying to help with some more information. A similar situation happened to me after I received a MIDI file from a collaborator who works with LP7 while I am working with LP9. As we all know, when upgrading Logic, the older versions remain in the Applications folder. In my Applications folder, I have versions of LP7, LP8, LP9.0.2 and the current one. Before my collaborator sent his MIDI files, I could just click on .mid files and they would open in LP9. However, since I received his files, all my .mid files insist on being opened by LP7 and then crash. There is something not congruent between Logic and the Mac operating system regarding this problem. Because: I can visually change the default application to open those .mid files with LP9 in the information window (⌘i), but it reverts right back to LP7 when I close the window or click on "Change all ...". You still might want to give this a try though, if you are on Logic X, choose that as your default. The Property List Editor.app was not a solution either, and BatCHmod did not help as well. The only way I get around it for now in LP9 is dragging the .mid file straight into the Arrange Window. Good luck!

Hey Ski, yes, we had those (and many more very deep) discussions 6 or 7 years ago on that "other" forum. The suggestion that MIDI has nothing to do with audio, and that we hear audio late due to buffer latency stands correct in my opinion as well. Furthermore, I can confirm your "blessing and curse" experience first hand, hearing it daily and since many years as well! Maybe "clicks, pops and dropouts" are just part of an underlying spoof about a newly invented style of music we have not experienced yet.

Get the correct version of Onyx for your operating system from here: http://www.titanium.free.fr/ and let it clean up your files. This free application solves more problems than we even want to be bothered with, let alone think about. Luckily, I am still using Snow Leopard, but you should see a vast improvement after running Onyx on your system.

This is the most realistic one I've heard: http://ilyaefimov.com/products/acoustic-guitar/ag-strum.html

"Clocking... reddog is right, that the sync discrepancies that can occur between systems are usually so slight as to be unnoticeable. However, people throw good money at buying wordclock generators for single computer audio systems. So the question to ask is "why?"" Yes, involver's solution is what I would use in the OP's case as well. Darn! And I thought this post was hi-jacked by ski and captain, hihi. Because what you really need for clocking is this puppy, which I kept around since 25 years: Now we're talking ultimate clocking and synchronization. Please note that SRC on this device stands for: "SMPTE Reading Clock", and not Sample Rate Conversion. This beautiful beast keeps my 808, PPGs and Synclavier happily in sync with Logic. It even synchronizes my microwave. Seriously. And: it jitters with any mp3 or live performance thrown at it! Yes, ski, I know exactly what you meant with the mp3 "drift". You should have called it "jitter" instead. What captain described is drift. Happy jittering Saturday to all!
