atari800 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hi- Just upgraded to Snow Leopard and Logic Pro 9 and have been having all sorts of issues. Here's one of them. If I record a number of audio files into a project, close the project, then reopen it, I'll get the "Creating Overview" dialog for every new audio file I recorded during the previous session. If you do a few takes of multi-miked drum tracks, this can be *really* time consuming, causing delays of several minutes upon startup. Any idea what's causing this? Thanks!

atari800 Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Bump. Nobody gets the "creating overview" dialog on startup? I've noticed it even happens if I glue a couple audio regions together to create a new region. Closing that project and reopening it produces the dialog. Can you think of anything that would prevent overviews being stored with the project the first time around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kutte Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I get it now and then. Along with the mysterious "Initializing Core Audio"- message which I have heard should have something to do with the changing of buffer size. But I haven't changed buffer size and still get it from time to time. I guess it has to do with Logic's "personality". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamflight Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I get it once in a while, but usually only once per track. If I record a new track or tracks, and then save and exit, I'll often get the recalculation next time I load the project. Personally I just checked the 'do it faster' button to speed it along - it takes hardly any time at all for me, so it's better to just let it do it's thing. If it did it every time then I'd be a little more bothered, but as it is it's only once per track and usually on the next load of the project I'm not that fussed. Df.

atari800 Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Yep, definitely project reload. Makes no sense to me, and super frustrating on projects with lots of audio files. Thanks for confirming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osumosan Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Confirmed! Also the overview creation is much slower than in L8 and is a complete processor hog, so it can't be going in the background while you do something else. It also reloads the whole song and begins the overview calculation anew when you update file info in the bin. Hooray. What a great new feature. Thanks, Apple! Insert whatever expletive you think might be appropriate. Update: Every open, maybe a few files' overviews stick. I have changed permissions on all the files to read & write for everyone (if you're using your primary HD for audio, you can't ignore permissions).

balco Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Osumosan, does any kind of changing permissions resolve this bug/feature, whatever it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osumosan Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Thanks for the suggestion. Logic sets permissions by default to read and write for me and read only for everyone. If I change everyone's permissions to read and write for every file in the project folder, this doesn't let the project's overviews be written permanently.

camillo jr Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Logic 9 often redraws the overviews when I re-open a project. I'm guessing maybe 20 -30% of the time. It might only be for some of the regions, I don't know. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musikmike Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 BUMP? Why are my projects taking 5 minutes to "create overview" every time i open them? Has this been solved?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayEC Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 I'm running into the same issue after updating both my Mac and logic. My system is currently being used for live stream and recording of Church services on a large scale. I'm running 32 tracks, 17 busses, plus waves. It can take hours for it to rewrite the overviews and is getting quite frustrating. Looks like it's time to bite the bullet and switch to protools.

shellsj Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Same happens for me. Some projects never actually open because the overview freezes. Brand new Apple Silicon laptop and latest version of Logic. Does anyone from Apple monitor this discussion? It seems like a fundamental blocker to using Apple Logic. Who cares about this feature! Can it not be turned off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Creating overview is part of Logic when it loads the project into Ram. Nothing you can do about that. The weird behavior is definitely project-related. I get it once in a while when I did a change to an audio file, saved an exited. But it's quick. Never froze on me.

Thanks - yes only one project affected - but i could only open project settings. The project itself wouldn't actually open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
