Eddfern Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Just got off the phone with Apple/Logic rep. Very nice guy, but was not able to help me. I’m getting completely out of tune instruments or chopped sounds. It is a random issue, however, it happens consistently on every session..very frustrating :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
des99 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Can you provide some details about the system you are running, your audio interface, your sample rate etc? Does it happen if you don't use your audio interface, and just use the inbuilt audio on your Mac? Can you describe what "out of tune instruments" is in more detail - is everything off by a constant amount, or some instruments are randomly tuned, or does the tuning of one particular instrument warble up and down etc? Do audio files sound at the pitch/speed they should be, or are they fine and it's just MIDI instruments? Does it happen if you disconnect any MIDI controllers you are having?

I mean do you open the session one day and the instruments are out of tune? Or are you working in a project and at some point during the course of your day the instruments become out of tune?

Eddfern Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 Hi David: the second option. I will be recording, and all of the sudden, a piano, or strings, or a sax, will playback the part out of tune. Very weird… Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddfern Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 My MacBook is a brand new laptop with M1 chip, running Ventura Ventura 13.2. Apple M1 Max 64 GB with 2TB of storage. The out tune is random, and yes, sometimes is a warble effect, mainly on pads. The out of tune happens once in a while and it sounds like a 1/4 of tone lower in pitch.

rAC Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Does it happen if you start from a new empty template? Have you tried as a new user on your computer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any MIDI devices connected to your Mac? If yes, turn them off and try working without them for a while. Or if you prefer, monitor the incoming MIDI data to double-check that no device is sending pitchbend data. To do that, click the little down arrow symbol to the right in the LCD display and choose Custom. Where it says "No in" is a MIDI In monitor. Use that to see if a device is sending stray controller events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddfern Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 I only use Apple plugins and a Keyboard controller Akai MPK88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddfern Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 Hi David: Apparently is working…will keep recording tracks and will give you an update later today. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 If it continues working as expected when the keyboard is off, then it's possible that the keyboard is sending stray pitchbend events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddfern Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 Me again. Sorry, it didn’t work. The Spanish guitar went out of tune:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Ok so can you share a simple project and tell us how to reproduce the problem, so that one of us can have a look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddfern Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 OK ~ I kept messing with the keyboard controller, and apparently is working normal again. Hopefully this will do. Fingers crossed. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Eddfern Posted February 4, 2023 Author Solution Share Posted February 4, 2023 Thank you David. Everything is working fine. Apparently the problem was the keyboard controller, as you recommended. Tks again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
