return of the logic plugin jump..? [SOLVED]

[fisherking]

i have had this problem intermittently, thru several OS's and logic versions, since... well, for a long time. and it's back (since updating to the final 10.13 OS... it wasn't there in the final 10.13 beta).

 

this only happens with logic plugins; i see it mostly with the gain plugin, and today with the test tone.

 

if i, for example, set the gain balance to -10 (ie slightly to the left), when i click away from that plugin, the value jumps ALL THE WAY to the left. happening today with the test tone as well (first picture is where i set the value, 2nd is where it jumped after i clicked out of the plugin).

 

it's annoying, frustrating... am not keeping track of where i set something, so when i lose that value, i have to find it again (ok, not terrifying, but definitely breaks up my workflow).

 

anyone else?

Do you have any controller sending unwanted messages into Logic?

[fisherking]

i don't have any controllers set up. using a cme xkey.. should i check the Project Settings? have filters on everything EXCEPT aftertouch, pitch bend, control changes... should i stop chasing anything in particular? (within project settings>midi>chase?)

 

EDIT: odd that it comes & goes, thru various OSes, betas, etc..

[fisherking]

glitch...  happens as soon as i click on the arrange window (in this case); will happen wherever i click (outside of that plugin)...

[fisherking]

tested with the keyboard unplugged, and the elicenser dongle unplugged (the only things connected); still happening... 

 

EDIT: tested on a 'virgin' file (i usually work from 1 of 2 different templates), and... still happening! 

[fisherking]

am trying this with a 'test' admin account. but logic's own plugins are not showing up! how do i get them back? (my 3rd-party au's are fine!)....

 

EDIT: nevermind, fixed on reboot...

[fisherking]

odder still. it's fine in a test user account. so, the problem seems connected to my user account... altho, again, it's only occurred in some versions (including the betas), of the OS. am confused as hell....

[fisherking]

do others have this problem? am trying to figure out what could cause this... on and off for years. anyone?

[Atlas007]

I wonder if it could be related to various OS installations on the same system...

[fisherking]

i've never had more than one OS running at a time on my mac. and again, it doesn't seem to happen in a test admin account. so it's seems to be tied to my home folder. maybe i'll try deleting preferences... or something.

 

any other ideas? does anyone else have this issue?

[fisherking]

no one else has this? hmmm. i've had it intermittently for some time, will have to do some sleuthing. anyway if anyone has any ideas, or has experienced this, please post! thanx peeps

Do you have any other apps or services running on your regular account that are somehow sending data to Logic Pro X?

Do you use some enhancement drivers for your mouse/trackpad?

nothing like that. hmmm... bettertouchtool? i could (& will) try disabling that. definitely a mystery, and... am usually good at solving these things. this one's a monster...

Sooner or later, everyone meets his/her Waterloo...

[fisherking]

but this might be it: bettertouchtool. i've had it running for years, just for a few custom key setups (NOT, btw, in logic). i've gone back & forth a few times, and the problem SEEMS to be gone when BTT is disabled. if this is it, makes sense (since i've had it running thru several OSes, and several versions of LX).

 

will leave it off, see how things go. and if that's it, will let the developer know.

am marking this solved, the problem hasn't cropped up once since disabling BTT. yesterday it happened constantly...

 

so, this one will NOT be my waterloo! & eric, thanks for the suggestion.

 

meanwhile, does anyone else here use BTT??
