No worries guys, not gong to waste my time on a forum where the owner just gives up and doesn't even bother replying if there isn't a super easy explanation. Especially since I spent a lot of time in my second post explaining what exactly causes the issue. I'm returning my LPX 10.4 book and maybe even sticking to Studio One where the forums are much more helpful and actual support from the company exists. Good luck everyone!

My friend. I told you how to replicate it. I even made a screen recording. Maybe make an effort to read my full reply after I made the effort to investigate the issue further. Not for my benefit, for the benefit of everybody if it is in case a bug. And emagic is emagic, most of the same people for 20 years in the same German office in Rellingen. They just put an Apple sticker on it. Although they might have moved a year or two ago.

Bump it. Bump it real good.... Come on. I thought you guys knew everything. Maybe send an email to emagic or whatever

Bumpty bump.

BUMP - Any idea what's happening? More so out of curiosity to see if it's a bug or if that's how logic was programmed for some weird reason.

Erm. Click it, command c and then command p?

Interesting. I opened up a new project and I couldn't replicate the issue, I then looked carefully at the original project which has the issue and realised the problem is most likely caused if you create a duplicate copy of the track. I was able to replicate this in an empty project. I have attached a video. So in my workflow, I have a bounced track which was originally sped up / pitch shifted in EXS24. I then create a duplicate version of this bounced track which I can use for chopping. I'm not sure if this is necessary but I do this to avoid cutting the original version in case I accidentally delete something. So it seems like if I delete the original version, I no longer get this error in EXS24. So yeah, what's the issue with having a duplicate version of the track? It's not as if it's affecting the sample playback in anyway. Maybe its just a coding / programming anomaly. https://streamable.com/8woz6 P.S. It's interesting that when I press Edit > Undo Delete, the track only reverts back to the first region which was chopped. You can see this in the video. It's as if the original and duplicate are linked in some weird way.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah the issue was documented here although doesn’t seem to have been fully resolved / explained: viewtopic.php?t=138451 It’s strange because I’m not trying to do anything with the regions or samples. The message literally just keeps popping up as soon as you click the EXS24 edit windows and continuously during playback, even after you press OK. You have to minimise the plugin for it to stop appearing. If you want to try and replicate it, save a 3 minute+ audio track on your desktop. Import it into Logic. Chop up 5 short sections of the track (few seconds each), highlight them all and then right click and select convert to new sampler instrument. (I’m on Catalina with the latest LPX version). I deleted the regions and it didn’t do change anything, I then deleted the original track and EXS just gave a ‘Missing’ error. So I guess my question now remains 1) What’s the purpose of this error? 2) Why can’t Logic do what is necessary to avoid it? I mean I’m not trying to do anything strange. Just use some samples which are chopped up.

On an iMac? Yeah there are some external thunderbolt PCIe chassis (e.g. StarTech) out there. I know it’s an exotic option / overkill although I just thought I’d put the idea out there in case the OP wants the best speed available.

It looks like there’s a button enabled next to the flex pitch (it looks like MPC drum pads).

Have you considered a PCie?

Check out some YouTube vids or the new 10.4 book!

More cores and more Ghz is more important than i3 vs i5. 4 cores should be enough although I would recommend 32gb ram. I assume you’re buying your iMac second hand? Even the new laptops have 32gb of ram.

I’m assuming you’re running the new Catalina operating system? Because it is 64 bit and Logic Pro 9 is 32 Bit only. So your option is to either find an older operating system which I wouldn’t recommend or purchase Logic Pro X which is definitely an overdue upgrade if you’re still on Logic 9. P.S. Logic isn’t a third party. It’s owned by Apple. I’m sure they have their own Pro App support team or could have directed you to the Apple forum as a last resort. Not sure who you spoke to.

Logic Pro picture is completely gone from the Education page now - it's only garage band and PS.
