Logic is continually deleting files in my projects at random. I literally just now finished three hours of guitar tracking, and then closed the project and reopened it seconds later. I got twenty or so alerts saying it couldn't find certain files, and that some files had changed in length, and that one had been changed to 8-bit format. Does anyone have any idea what is going on? I've had problems like this for months now, and it's at the point now where everything I try to work on gets completely ruined.

Deleted them in the project, didn't touch the folder. I may actually be all right now—I THINK it was freaking iCloud Drive somehow trying to ruin everything. I deleted the project and started over. We'll see if it comes up again.

It seems Logic is periodically deleting random audio files from my projects without a trace. The latest incident: I had recorded about a minute of a single electric guitar track and deleted all the old takes I didn't need, only keeping the last take. The next time I went to open the project, Logic got confused and kept saying "can't recognize" audio file after audio file, all files I did not need because I had purposely deleted them. It took several minutes to open the project because I had to click "okay" every time this message came up, but once it opened, everything I needed was still there. The next time I went to open the project, it did the same thing, but when it finally opened, it had deleted 90 percent of my last take, leaving only a few seconds at the beginning. The rest was an empty audio track. What in the freaking crap is going on here? Is this my somewhat slow, 3-year-old Macbook Pro losing my audio files, or is it a problem with Logic itself? Is there any way to get my files back?

Seriously, what the heck is wrong here? My mixer runs directly into the computer. My bass is plugged into one of the mixer's channels whose volume is turned all the way down. There is still sound playing through its track in my Logic Pro project. If I turn the channel volume up to where it should be normal, it's way too loud. I don't have much experience with stuff like this, but I know how to use Logic. Any ideas? Thanks, Wesleyß
