tonysol Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I've read many posts on this issue and tried them all to no avail. I have a MacPro 10.6.8 2x2.66 GHz Quad core xeon 12GB. I also have a MacbookPro 10.6.8 2.3 GHz 4GB. Both are running Logic 9.1.6. I can send a stereo bus to an aux channel on my laptop and read a tereo meter on the aux channel. However the Mac Pro will not give me an option for a stereo bus out and when a toggle the format button I do get a stereo signal but a mono meter. I have created a new file with no recording or plugins to resolve the issue but I still only have a mono meter and no option to send a stereo bus. Even though I get a stereo signal with the format button I still need to read the meter. I'm confused...why does it work on one and not the other? By the way...I have even attempted a stereo bus from a stereo channel to a stereo aux and stil a mono aux meter.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can change the format of the Aux channel strip to Stereo but the Meter remains Mono then you may have a Mono Plug-in inserted in the Aux channel strip. Click hold each plug-in on the Aux channel strip one at a time and select the Stereo or Mono->Stereo version of the plug-ins. If only Mono is available for the plug-in then remove the plug-ins from the Aux channel strip, make sure the format button on the Aux is set to stereo then choose your plug-ins (they will be available in stereo if you insert them after the Aux channel is formatted to Stereo.

tonysol Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 I created a new file with no plug ins and still only a mono meter and no stereo bus options on the channel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordi Torres Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I created a new file with no plug ins and still only a mono meter and no stereo bus options on the channel? How does the "stereo" bus you are trying to use is supposed to look in the bus menu? for example: "Bus 1" or "Bus 1-2"? J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonysol Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 My laptop offers bus 1-2. I am pulling stereo meters on the aux after a few tries and full panning ability. Strange... Same file also wont recognize a NI plugin on the tower so I must reload it fyi. Im functional...if anyone knows why the same file reads differently on both computers let me know.

tonysol Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Well...now just the opposite has happened. When I pull the same file I converted the auxes to stereo on the tower up on the laptop the aux busses are now mono again. I have 3 back up drives and each file does the same, yet when I pull the file on the computer I convert the aux to stereo it pulls up in stereo. I don't understand why the same version of software and both OS are the same this is happening. LOST! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonysol Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 And...my format button no longer appears on my aux tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonysol Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 I am supposing this is a plug in compatibility issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
