triplets Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Either that or it's freaking Sierra that's doing this. Also there was a lot of graphic lag in Logic, that's not normal either. Did you do a clean install of Sierra or just update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djeans Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 Completely clean install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Really weird issue you're having. I remember using the X32 on El Capitan to record 32 simultaneous live tracks of a show onto a 5400 rpm drive of a 13 MBP thru USB 2.0 and no issues. We just plugged it in, Behringer showed up in Logic audio prefs, armed the tracks and hit record. Recorded for 2 hours non-stop, no glitches.

triplets Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 My hunch is it's Sierra, what can I say. What Mac Pro is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djeans Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 Yeah, on Yosemite, I had NO problems at all. Could be the Sierra. It's actually a hackintosh, something I perhaps should have made clear at the beginning. X79-UP4 motherboard. I7 3930k processor, 32GB ram. I'm about to pull the trigger on a new MacBook Pro, so when I get that, hopefully logic will run fine on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Yeah, could be Sierra not liking the Hackintosh for audio purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iaamusic Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Is WiFi off when this happens? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Just tried quitting everything except logic, turned off Wifi and Bluetooth, new project, one track enabled, turned off replace, hit record, it recorded for about 2 seconds, then stops.

djeans Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 So, brief update. I'm still having the same issues on this computer, but I recently bought a MacBook Pro, which has the same version of Sierra on it, installed Logic Pro and it works fine. So, I guess I can rule out a Sierra related incompatibility. I really wish I could get this working, as this is my dedicated studio computer, and the laptop is my everything else computer.

triplets Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 So maybe it's an issue with your Hackintosh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djeans Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 That seems to be logical answer at this point. It's just weird that I'm not experiencing any issues with anything else, including other DAWs that i've tried. So bizarre. I went into audio midi setup and deleted all the old entries in there for things I don't have anymore, hoping that would do it, but it didn't. Does Logic have an error log hidden away somewhere?

djeans Posted November 11, 2017 Author Share Posted November 11, 2017 Yes, but I've not been able to find anything in there related to logic. There is a crash log, but since logic isn't "crashing" per-se it doesn't update the crash log. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djeans Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 Sorry to bump an old thread, but i don't know where else to go for help. I recorded a short video today that illustrates one part of the problem (it also stops recording on its own, out of nowhere) This problem first started when I upgraded to Sierra. I have now upgraded to High Sierra, which I hoped might fix it, but no luck. This is a Hackintosh Computer (I specifically built it for the purpose of using it with logic, and it worked for years before up until Sierra where it broke) This problem also happens in Garage Band, but not in Reaper (I don't particularly like Reaper tho, so I don't use it) So it may be core audio related? In logic, the behavior is consistent (audio stops, drums only, then all audio again) for the most part, but there is no consistency in when it happens in a song. Occasionally I can get through the whole song without it happening, frequently it happens multiple times in a row during the same playback of a song. Any suggestions?

djeans Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 And another short vid of the audio stopping during recording. The glitch is at 1:02 if you want to skip my "noodling" on guitar. https://youtu.be/FMo5yMb8zls This was a brand new user account, on a bone stock install of Logic, no external plugins of any kind, no external control surface.

David Nahmani Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I've already had a similar issue djeans. Is it isolated to one specific project or are you experiencing that all over the board across all your projects? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djeans Posted September 27, 2018 Author Share Posted September 27, 2018 All projects, all users. Were you able to solve it when you experienced it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 All projects, all users. Were you able to solve it when you experienced it? I remember restarting my Mac and Logic and it resumed working as expected. One time one project stubbornly kept doing it even after restarting... and it ended up resolving itself on its own. I wish I had more information to share with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanhaze Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Open the "Console" application.(It's in Applications > Utilities Folder) Choose your mac in the "Devices" area, upper left of Console Window. Shrink down Logic's main window, so you can see the Console window clearly. In Logic, go into Play mode. Watch Console window closely, it will constantly output all kinds of messages. When a dropout occurs, can you see a related (error) message showing up in Console Window ? Warm Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djeans Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 (edited) Thanks for the suggestion. The messages fly by pretty quickly, so it's hard to see what the message was right when it happened. Here is a grab of the console around the time that it happened. There is one entry regarding logic, followed by several with a process that was deleted, so no idea of that's involved. The entry for Logic is "Making presenter 649C5F28-9174-4276-8C73-D3E6DCB516D7 observe change" whatever that means.

djeans Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 OK, Just did a fresh clean install of Mojave, new completely wiped drive, and the problem is still there. So weird. Here is the capture of the Console around the time it happened, and there are a bunch of entries regarding IOAudioEngine and core audio. Can anyone make sense of this?

David Nahmani Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Here is the capture of the Console around the time it happened It's much easier for us to read if you simply copy/paste the contents of the Console here, rather than attaching a screenshot.

kibu Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Hi djeans, I have no solutions for your issue. Just came here to let you know I faced the exact same issue with my hackintosh (x79-up4 / i7 4930K / nvidia gtx ) too. Mavericks was rock solid. This issue started showing after I upgraded to El Capitan, and later in Sierra too. I searched for a solution for months without any success. I couldn't use El Capitan or Sierra well over 6 months after I first updated. Luckily I had Mavericks in another SSD. It became quite a hobby for me for months to search the web for a solution. But I never found it. Btw, Now I am using Sierra without any of those issues. I have absolutely no Idea what solved the problem. Only thing I remember changing hardware wise is my monitors. Previously I was using a 40 inch tv with HDMI and a computer monitor with DVI. Later I replaced them with a pair of HP monitors, both with HDMI to DVI converters. I am a bit reluctant to accept that solved my issues, but I have no other clues. Your console screenshot is very familiar to me.LOL. Anyway, I am still looking for a logical answer. Sorry for the long reply, but I couldn't help since i know exactly what you are going through. Wish you good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution djeans Posted December 21, 2018 Author Solution Share Posted December 21, 2018 Thanks for the help. I solved my issue (or rather a more knowledgeable person from one of the hackintosh forums did) by editing my DSDT and making some adjustments to my EFI folder.

rmd Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Thanks for the help. I solved my issue (or rather a more knowledgeable person from one of the hackintosh forums did) by editing my DSDT and making some adjustments to my EFI folder. Hey, Can you give more information on what you did to solve the problem? In sessions on the weekend and had similar problems. Running 13 tracks 96/24, and record stops while transport keeps rolling. First time it happened after 45mins, second after 20mins. Frustrating. These are mission critical live performances with no room for failure. Need to solve this issue. I have tried to replicate today to no avail. My computer had all the usual optimizations that have been posted for sometime. Any direction would be appreciated. thx, Rob http://www.societyofsound.ca Macbook Pro 15" Retina 10.11.6, LOGIC 10.2.0 2.7 Ghz i7 SSD 16GB RAM SSD Thunderbolt external audio drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djeans Posted September 30, 2019 Author Share Posted September 30, 2019 Sounds like my issue was a little different. My audio would always stop after a matter of seconds, or maybe a minute or two. I never got to 20 minutes or more. That being said, I don't actually know what we did to fix it, since I was way above my head. I use a hackintosh rather than an actual Mac. If you are also on a hackintosh, I may be able to find the thread on the hackintosh forum where the guy that helped me figured it out and send you that link.
