flasky1 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 So when I play an audio file in the finder, but then i open up logic so the Logic app is active an at the front. The audio from the finder app will disappear until i press on any other app other than logic. This happens with every app: Google Chrome Safari Spotify Apple Music Finder Other DAW's When the Logic App is at the front the audio from other apps stops. The weird thing is that if i logout of my Main Admin Account on my Mac and login into another account. Logic doesn't stop audio from other apps. But i don't know what to do to stop this behaviour on my main Mac account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 What audio device are you using to monitor Logic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flasky1 Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 (edited) Hi @David Nahmani Unfortuntley it happens with all my audio devices. Focusrite Audio Inteface conntected to headphones or monitors. Headphones connected to audio jack or even the Macbook Laptops speakers. I Have even tried using the app sound control, where you can select a different audio output for each application. But none of that has worked. I had a 2011 until about a year ago an then i changed to a 2012 Macbook. and i simply moved my SSD to the other Macbook an upgraded to OS Catalina on it, from OS High Sierra but since then this audio issue has continued. Although this issue happens on my Main Admin account. When I use other DAW's like Garageband, Ableton, Studio One, on my Main Mac Admin Account None of those DAW's have this audio problem It's only Logic Pro Edited March 29 by flasky1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Ok that's an odd issue, I mean I can play Apple Music and Logic Pro at the same time through the same device here, so I'm not sure why that's not working for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flasky1 Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 @David Nahmani I thought it was an odd issue because before i posted on this forum i done some research on google but i didn't see any one mention this same problem. So i don't even know where to start to try an fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 If you create a new user account on your Mac, do you get the same behavior in that new account? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flasky1 Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 @David Nahmani No i don't get the same behaviour when i change the user account on my Mac, it works as it's supposed to on other user accounts. But on my user account it doesn't work properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 16 minutes ago, flasky1 said: But on my user account it doesn't work properly Ok great, that's good to hear. Then there's some troubleshooting to do on your current user account. The first step would be: Quit Logic, In the Finder, hold down the Option key and click the "Go" menu at the top of your screen, choose Library, Inside the Preferences folder, trash com.apple.logic10.plist (that will reset all your global logic settings to defaults), Restart your Mac, Try again?

flasky1 Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 @David Nahmani Just tried it now, but the problem still remains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Ok... do you have any 3rd party audio utility such as Audio Hijack, Loopback, etc... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flasky1 Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 @David Nahmani I have an app called Sound Control which allows you to select an audio device output for each application. But that didn't work for me either. For Example. I tried Playing Logic through my Headphones and Spotify through my speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution David Nahmani Posted March 29 Solution Share Posted March 29 That app is likely to be the issue here. Can you disable it or uninstall it for now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flasky1 Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 @David Nahmani I just disabled it and now Logic is working as it should be. Thanks David, Never thought the solution would be so simple. I appreciate your Help 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
