ArizonaBeatMaker Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 (edited) Hello! I'm having an issue with the project end adding tons of excess time. Even if drag the project end, or type the ending I want into the control panel, it will ignore it after a bit and go back to adding an endless amount of dead space to the point where I can barely even find the project end marker. It seems to do it automatically, usually when I'm cutting and pasting throughout the arrangement, if I'm dragging samples in. Perhaps it could be related to using Splice's drag and drop feature which I use sometimes but not always. Anyway hope this makes sense and thanks in afance. I haven't been able to figure out what's causing this and would love any suggestions cause it drives me crazy having to constantly move that project end back to reasonable point. SOLVED: updating to the newest Logic X fixed this issue!! Thank you triplets for the suggestion.

fisherking Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 always hated that; seems when i go in to record a part, the end is extended. i just keep track of where i want it (ie measure 71), then move the end marker back later. and repeat. until i'm finally done mixing... EDIT: oh wait, just looked at your images larger, and... that's insane. see if there's any automation anywhere, perhaps that copies when you copy regions. that's a lot of extended ending; i usually get a dozen or so measures....

ArizonaBeatMaker Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 crazy right?? Adds a ridiculous amount of time haha. I'll keep an eye on automation, I do a ton of it so maybe it has something to do with cutting and pasting automation.. hmmm.. I never had this on my past laptop though, so maybe I have a bugged Logic X but I bought it new not long ago.. dang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherking Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 it's not the app (altho it does add measures when i work, just not like that). it's the project. turn on automation, check all your tracks, see if there'a anything copying far into the future.............

David Nahmani Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Your project end marker position is displayed in the LCD display below the key signature. You can double-click the value and enter a new one. Not a solution to your issue, but at least a workaround to quickly get it back to a reasonable value.

triplets Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Yeah, 25000 measures is quite a long song! Logic's default when you open an empty project is 129. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaBeatMaker Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 Ok this is interesting, it seems when I copy and past two separate parts, then paste it, then undo it, the value changes massively. I tried replicating this but deleting rather than undoing, and the value stayed the same. It's the undo-ing of pasting more than one part that triggers it. It doesn't happen when I only past one part then undo it. Strange! Included a screen shot of what happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 What's your Logic version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaBeatMaker Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 What's your Logic version? Version 10.4.1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 It could be a bug in that version. Any reason you didn't update Logic to the latest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArizonaBeatMaker Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share Posted February 27, 2020 It could be a bug in that version.Any reason you didn't update Logic to the latest? Honestly I thought I had the newest one I'll update and follow up if that fixes it in case someone else has the problem. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 The latest one is 10.4.8, and is available for OSX High Sierra (10.13.6) and up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
