des99 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Save a copy of your current Logic version, before updating it, so if something goes funky, you can continue to work with the previous version - this is oft-repeated advice here (and elsewhere) for years. I can't really deduce much from what you've posted on the issue here so far, but if you want to investigate, start a thread so we can try to find out what's going on here, whether this is a bug that needs to be reported, or has some other cause...

ThatPianoGuy Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Thank you for the advice. I had honestly never thought to rename my old version before updating. The first piece of great info I gleaned from this forum. I see that it would be possible to post pics, so perhaps I can screen shot a before and after of how the files changed. I’m also fine submitting one of my files. I use Superior Drummer for samples. The drum track looked like every other MIDI track, until the update. After that, the track name changed, and the track was an orange-ish color, with what looked more like audio waveforms. Worst of all? They were not anywhere near the proper location in the song, and didn’t play any sound - drums, sine waves, nothing. Our choir director has the patience of a gnat, so 15 minutes, and he was done. One of the biggest tracking scores of my life, tossed out for good. Lessons learned, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas007 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I’d venture that Superior Drummer was not compatible with the new Logic version. According to your description, the new track that replaced Superior Drummer’s one seems to be a Drummer track. I think that happen Logic tried to compensate that incompatibility. It is indeed not a good idea to change something important in a setup during the course of serious project, it would be the equivalent of trying a new riff during a concert… That is playing russian roulette… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felipenove Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 I've updated my Logic to version 10.7.2, but I'm having trouble using the trackpad. It doesn't respond and it's impossible to do some simple moves like scrolling the screen, for example. My computer is a Macbook Pro M1 and the problem presents with both Monterey and Big Sur.

Atlas007 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Have you tried (cold) rebooting your Macbook? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felipenove Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Actually, the Mac was crashing a lot and I figured it was some third-party plugin. So, I performed a formatting and I have the machine without any app or plugin that is not native. And now this trackpad issue has remained constant in Logic Pro. Do you suggest a new formatting?

ThatPianoGuy Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Atlas, thanks for that tip. However, it doesn’t explain audio and other software instrument tracks resetting levels to 0dB on every track. I’m not using an M1, not updating to Monterey, or Logic 10.2.x from this point forward. There’s too much to lose trying to stay “current”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s too much to lose trying to stay “current”. actually, you're having an issue, which is not, by default, a reflection of 'trying to stay current'. and it's ok, you're not obligated to move forward. but, if you look thru posts on this forum, you'll see that people on every OS, and every version of logic have issues. so you get to choose: get help with a new issue, or stay with what's working, and get on with it. nice, at least, to have options...

Martin Olsson Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Been a few updates lately, first they changed the colour of the activated mute button so I, as a colourblind person, no longer could see if it's activated or not on highlighted channels. I did however send a support note to Apple and a few weeks later a new update came out and that was now fixed. Hurray! However, just updated to the latest version available in the App Store and new issue occurs. It takes forever to load plugins and moving plugins around in the channel strip gets the spinning beachball... A bit annoying. Anyone else experience this?

guitboyus Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I have had an issue since 10.7 came out. I've gotten the 10.7.2 now, Logic seems to stop responding to start, stop and just gets stuck as if you had a 2 beat cycle on, it doesn't show that in the ruler... I haven't change default template or anything that I know of. It does it on older songs and while trying to record. Seems to be random. I have to close logic and restart it to stop the cycling. Does anyone have a tip where I should start looking for the solution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas007 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Updating the specs in your signature might be a good new year's resolution... Have you tried updating your drivers? Have you tried Bypassing All Control Surfaces? Have you tried resetting your prefs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recommend you start by creating a new topic for your issue so that we can focus on troubleshooting that with you in its own thread rather than in this more general topic about the Logic 10.7.2 release.

jonparadise Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Has anyone managed to drag a CST file from the finder to a channel strip header? It is now possible to load a channel strip CST file by dragging it from the Finder to the channel strip header. I've tried dragging all types of CST files to locations all over the channel strip but can never get it to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Has anyone managed to drag a CST file from the finder to a channel strip header? No, that does not work, in fact it's the first time I hear that a channel strip has a header? So I tried to drag to the track header, but it still does not work.

David Nahmani Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Yup, I tried the same here. Thanks David. You're welcome. I'm just curious, why are you interested in that workflow? I've stopped using cst files years ago, and now deal exclusively with patches that I save and reload from the Library, I find it much easier that way. Whenever I need to share patches I load them into a Logic project file and share the Logic project file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonparadise Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 I was interested in seeing if I could drag a cst file complete with instrument and MIDI/audio effects from the finder. Then if that worked, I was going to see if I could add the cst folder as a favourite in the Logic browser, so I could drag and drop instrument presets into a project - similar to the way Studio One works. I currently use patches too but was interested in the drag and drop approach as I like that workflow in Studio One. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
