Yes, that is not an unusual situation at all. Some directors are very good at describing what they want and quite a few are like yours.. I don't agree with fuzzfilth, a good director knows quite bit about music and has heard a lot of it! When a director without music skills happens to me I usually end up with trying to be (even) better with my wording in discussions and discussing much more than I really like. I try to test their wording and find cracks in their argumentation. I sometimes apologize for not understanding (although I understand very well) and try to squeeze a reference track out of him/her. I try to find a way for them to commit, not to make me test rabbit.. Depending on the director I also sometimes make a point of the lack of similarities of the reference and what they actually want. I think you will find that even the top scorers face this all the time and you kind of have to suck it up and remember it the next time you budget... I've worked for many years mainly writing for commercials but also made quite a few documentaries. I think it is a part of the game.. But the best advice I think is to use your time with them, ask questions and listen to some tracks together. Like this? No? More like this? I think the sign of a bad director is if he/she only references personal favorites.. On the other hand I must admit that quite a few times my third try was better than the first.. Good luck!

Totally agree! I make a lot of commercials and would like to teach logic to remember my last movie folder or a pref setting for the folder. I always have mine in each project. I’d actually love prefs for exported movies too, but that is perhaps too much too ask for. When I work on a project I get new movie files all the time and often have 10 different movies each project and I export a lot movies to the director underway. (Why the admin decides to make fun of the idea I don’t understand) It seems like a relativly easy task to implement.

I have also used region names for text annotations and never had any trouble. I guess I had between 50 and 70 characters. Maybe 40 - 50 regions. So not that many I guess...

I have a similar error from time to time with my Apogee Ensemble. When playing the audio starts to sound bitcrushed and ends up being digital buzz. I then have to set the audio to core audio and then switch it back to ensemble to get it to play again. This occurs once or twice a week for me. If you start with a fresh project from scratch, do you still get the error?

Does the error come immediately after pushing play, randomly or does it occur at a special point in the song?

Sometimes I forget that I have another audio software in the background and that can sometimes give me errors. 1. Try to change buffersize 2. Do you get these errors with Logic own synths?

Does your M-Audio keystation 88 es need a driver to work?

Yes, I have the latest version.

I have it set up in my template, so it's on all my projects. No crashing here.

I'm not looking forward to the prices of Apples coming Pro machines.. Probably starts 4000+ $, sorry Apple, I used to be fanboy... but not so much any more...

Yes, that's true!

Yes indeed! Not really an option for me, so I guess I will consider splitting that bus up and only have one send on each.. (Or just live with it... )

I have one Aux channel that has two sends and no output. It sends its signal to two other auxtracks where one is processed and the other is not. Pretty straight forward. But here it gets weird: If send 1 is active and send two is muted the meters work If send 1 and send 2 is active the meters work If send 1 is muted and send 2 is active the meters do not work. The channel still plays. I can’t see a logical reason why the meter should not work, this must be a bug? edit: This doesn't only affect aux tracks. All channels suffer from the same error..
