samfjsmith Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 No better way to describe it than in the thread title really. Logic has been behaving really strangely for about 6 months or so. I thought 9.1.5 would fix this but it hasn't. My current problem is as follows. I am working on a project, 100% Audio. I have recorded 3 separate guitar tracks, used a BIP of several drum loops together from a previous project and planned to do the same with the bass line. However, when I drag the .aif of my bass line onto an empty track, it mutes my lead guitar track. And by mute I don't mean that the blue M light comes on on the channel strip, I mean, it just won't play the audio file that is on the guitar track. No matter what I try, the lead guitar track just can't be heard during play back and when I look at the lead guitar channel strip in the mixer, it is completely dead even though there are audio recordings there. If I leave the bass channel empty (as in no audio dragged in) the lead guitar plays fine I am absolutely bemused by all of this and I am at the end of my tether. I have googled this problem to death and haven't found anything so I thought it was about time I asked on here. This has been happening since 9.1.3. I thought the subsequent updates would help solve this problem but they haven't changed a thing. I am currently running 9.1.5 I have done clean installs of logic twice now and still nothing has changed. Could it just be something in my settings?

samfjsmith Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 Its also worth mentioning that if I create a new blank audio track and solo it, it plays a louder version of the drum track which is on track 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simpleton Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 do you have "Universal Track Mode" selected in Preferences/Audio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samfjsmith Posted November 24, 2011 Author Share Posted November 24, 2011 do you have "Universal Track Mode" selected in Preferences/Audio? No I don't, I seem to remember that I unchecked that a while ago and it reduced latency (could be wrong!) Since I posted this message 10 mins ago, if I select input monitoring or record enable a blank channel strip, the sound slows down to half speed, gets choppy and I get an error message saying "Error while trying to sync audio and midi" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fader8 Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 do you have "Universal Track Mode" selected in Preferences/Audio? No I don't, I seem to remember that I unchecked that a while ago and it reduced latency (could be wrong!) Turn it back on. Since I posted this message 10 mins ago, if I select input monitoring or record enable a blank channel strip, the sound slows down to half speed, gets choppy and I get an error message saying "Error while trying to sync audio and midi" If your system and setup is a mystery, it's tough to help you.

samfjsmith Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 Still having this issue with even more strange behaviour added for good measure Now logic loves to crackle and slow down whenever I hit record What is going on? Could it be my mac? My interface? Something else? I have no idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fader8 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 However, when I drag the .aif of my bass line onto an empty track, it mutes my lead guitar track. What method are you using to create a new empty track? If you're using the "Track->New with Same Channel Strip" command, then the symptom you describe would be normal. Multiple audio tracks cannot play through the same track channel strip at the same time. I suggest you start a new project from the Empty Project template, not one of your templates from a previous Logic version. Bring all your audio into that new project creating new tracks.
