thehiltzbass Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Hi all! This happens every so often when I'm working with VSTs: Spitfire Solo Strings or Albions in Kontakt, or strings in BBC SO Core - when I'm adjusting expression, playback level oddly jumps around... I'll mix an instrument, then when that track is no longer selected the playback volume will be totally different. No consistency as far as the result being louder or quieter than original. A restart of Logic usually solves this and it will be consistent volume again. And yes, I've checked all automation lanes and prefader sends. I have a Presonus Faderport, gen 1 I think (the old one), could that have something to do with it? Fader is visually staying in the same place. Is it the VSTs? Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug that needs to be fixed in Logic? It's wasting so much time... I think I'm mixing, but I'm actually just blindly poking around because I have no idea if what I'm hearing is accurate! Thanks for any suggestions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas007 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Have you tried to Bypass All Control Surfaces? If that (temporarily) solves your issue, chances are that a rogue surface got unduly installed automatically. To verify same, one needs to pay a visit in the Control Surface Setup window to select and delete the intruder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehiltzbass Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 Hm, didn't seem to help - I forgot to mention I'm also running Art Conductor and Plugsearch! I realize those are midi things also. I wonder if it has something to do with that... sometimes AC doesn't switch the articulation even though everything visible says it should, and I've just had to 'all notes off' some patches that were playing continuously past playback.

Atlas007 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Indeed, it’s hard to tell if AC or PS aren’t involved in your issue. Are you also using Logic Articulation Remote? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehiltzbass Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 Yes, I am. It's sometimes a little glitchy, but works more often than not. I just went back to make sure all my Spitfire libraries are locked to UACC KS... maybe that was my problem. Will check back after a bit more work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
