diskoTC Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Ello. Whenever I try to record through logic it will crash. I can record MIDI fine, but when I try to create an audio track and click record enable it will crash. If I hit the big record button it will also crash. Has anybody had this before? Thankyou for taking the time to read my post. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Hi Tom and welcome to Logic Pro Help. We'll need a bit more info regarding your system. Can you also tell us what kind of hard drive(s) you're using, and how they are connected to your system? Please add your Logic version and system info to your signature: Read Me Before Posting - Forum Guidelines (#5) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 What computer are you using? What Logic version? What OSX version? Where are you recording to? Internal or external HD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskoTC Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Thanks for your speedy replies. I'm on a macbook pro, 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Mac OS X version 10.6.8 . I'm using Logic version 9.1.5 and I'm attempting to record to an internal hard drive. As a side note I just tried to save a blank project and logic crashed before I could pick a destination in the same way it does when I try to record. Thanks again, Tom ---------------- Logic pro version 9.1.5 Macbook Pro Mac OS X version 10.6.8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triplets Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Are you using any 3rd party plugins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Do you have an external HD that you could hook up to your MacBook to test with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskoTC Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 I did have some extra synths ages ago but nothing that ever effected performance. I'm not using any plug ins anymore though. I do have an external hard drive! How do I run logic so it uses that instead of my macbooks hard drive? Sorry, bit of a noob with this stuff.. Thanks again Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 I do have an external hard drive! How do I run logic so it uses that instead of my macbooks hard drive? Sorry, bit of a noob with this stuff.. Open your project in Logic, and choose File > Save As. Choose a location on the external hard drive, make sure "Include Assets" and "Copy Audio Files...." are selected and save the project on your external. Open the Bin (Window > Bin) and check the location of all your audio files, they should now be on the external drive. This procedure leaves the original project intact on the drive it was originally saved to, giving you a copy of the entire project folder on the new drive.

n6smith Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 Also I'd try the current 'fix all" for crashes during saves/loads etc... http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3968?viewlocale=en_GB Again, not sure why so many people seem to be having ProKit issues but this fix seems to sort things out for the majority... in these types of cases..

diskoTC Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Ah, well when I click save as logic immediately crashes, so I can't select the external harddrive as a destination. As for that fix all, I downloaded it and apparently I already have a newer version installed :/ so no luck there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n6smith Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 You have to delete the original ProKit as described in the link.. otherwise you will get the "Already installed" message... The Original ProKit is the same version but for some people they got a corrupted one hence the need to delete and then replace. Update: Make sure you delete it from the System Library and not the User's Library... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
