SubLixx Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I go to rename a track or anything really, then I accidently tap a key on the macbook pro keyboard (don't know which as I'm not paying attention), & the whole song becomes silent. The channels all show there is audio occuring & none of the channels have the mute button active, so what is happening? I would really like to know as it has happened quite a few times over the last 2 days, the only way I've been getting round this is by loading a previously saved version of the song. Appreciate the help as I am new to Logic Pro 7.2. Thankx in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Nahmani Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 Could it be the F4 (mute) key? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camillo jr Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I get something like this now and then. I still don't know what it is that I'm doing, which accidental key com I'm hitting... but the result is that a whole bunch of channels (usually audio tracks) have their volume faders reset to zero. If anyone knows specifically which key com does something like that, please let us know! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubLixx Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 No, it's not the F4 mute key & the volume is right up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubLixx Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 Also, all my volume faders are up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shivermetimbers Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Does your screen change color in any way when this happens? (Like the meause ruler at the top changes to yellow?) Next time it happens, see if the 'S' key does anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubLixx Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 (edited) No the screen does not go yellow, & it's not in 'solo' mode. The screen appears to be normal, each channels meters indicate the sound is happening. None of the channels are muted. The faders are up. The sound is turned on on the laptop. It's like the sound goes 'offline' but saying that, like I said b4, the meters indicate sound is there. I don't know what is happening?

SubLixx Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 1 time it was when I selected 2 regions of audio to copy & paste using the key 'with the funny symbol near the 'ctrl' key', but I think I pressed a different key near it by accident.The whole song went silent.

However, in automation mode, things are different yet still show some indication in different screens. All I can recommend is for you to search your logic key commands. Also, open up and look at your automation settings. Lastly, if it is possible, you may be muting your sound output for your computer. It is the only common thing that compares to your description. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubLixx Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 I think I have somehow been changing the computers sound output, as I checked the sound settings in the system preferences & the wrong output was selected. I will check my key commands to check I haven't got a shortcut assigned to change the macbookpros output, like you said. Thankx all for the ideas.

shivermetimbers Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 It may be a computer key command (I couldn't find any LOGIC KC that did this). Please let us know if you find out which key combination. This isn't the case here, but I have had this happen simple by dragging a 16 bit file into an open Logic song. Poof! no sound output - yet everything is set the same and the meters all show activity. Reopen the song and everything is back to normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubLixx Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 How you described that is exactly how it seemed to me. Except I wasn't dropping 16bit files. I'll let u know if I suss it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
