chrisodd Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Hi All, I'm having trouble with Varispeed and audio tracks. I've noticed that in some projects I cannot hear an audio track if a) Varispeed is on and b) The setting is anything but 0.00% To recreate the problem I've: 1) Opened a new project 2) Dragged a track out of iTunes into Logic as an AUDIO track 3) It converts the track to AIF, and the track plays just fine. 4) If I try to slow it down using Varispeed, the track appears to be playing but there is no sound. 5) If I set Varispeed back to 0.00%, I can hear it again. Anyone know what's going on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas007 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Which mode of Varispeed are you using? Have you tried engaging Flextime for that track? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisodd Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Varispeed is set to Speed Only. No, I didn't bother with Flextime because I solved it: turns out it's related to having "Input Monitoring" for that track. If Input Monitoring is selected and Varispeed is +/- 0.00%, you can hear the track fine. If Input Monitoring is selected and Varispeed is anything but +/- 0.00%, the track is silent. If you have Varispeed set to anything but +/- 0.00% and deselect the Input Monitoring WHILE PLAYING, track continues to be silent. - but if you pause and unpause, you can hear it, playing with the speed changed to the varispeed setting. Bottom line is that it appears to be a bug but there's an easy workaround Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atlas007 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Woops! Spoke too fast! I did not get problem with the loaded iTune file playing with various VariSpeed settings or Flextime, but after experimenting with Varispeed and Flextime, when I tried to use any further virtual instrument plugin tracks (Alchemy, ES2, EFM1, etc...) all the tracks remained mute; regardless of the presence of Varispeed or Flextime (both been turned off and/or removed from the LCD). MIDI activity readout in the LCD was reporting the incoming played keys, the VU meters were also displaying signal, but no sound could be heard. Pressing the Mute / Solo / Record / On-Off butttons on the track or channelstrip was of no help to get back sound from that project. Even closing the project and loading it back or creating a new one was not helping either!! Strange thing though, is that loading an old project would make things work normally (project playback and VI synths sounds) but not otherwise!?! Everything finally seemed coming back to normal after quitting and rebooting Logic. I filed a bug report... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution andypitz Posted January 12, 2021 Solution Share Posted January 12, 2021 I just got off the phone with support and this remedied the problem: changed the output device to built in output, then back to the mixer I was using for audio output. This fixed the problem immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DASjazzchi Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Hi guys, I'm having the same issue. Tried changing the output device to built in, and then back to my interface to no avail. Also did it with quiting out of logic, but still didn't work. No matter what I try it's silent whenever I change from zero % on speed only... Any other ideas?

DASjazzchi Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Is it perhaps non functional if you've already done some flex time editing on the file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
