ong (which will
temporarily fix the problem), especially if there are a lot of
sample-based instruments that take time to reload.
To see if your system shows the problem, record some soft synth tracks,
put your sequence in cycle mode and let it play for a while. Randomly
the bug causes soft synths to start dropping out. It could happen within
a few minutes or it could happen in an hour. It seems random. I've seen
all the soft synths stop playing eventually, and they will also stop
playing in response to MIDI input. This happens with Logic 5, 6 and 7,
and perhaps 4. It happens with Logic's own soft synths and with 3rd
party soft synths.
It was reported to be less frequent with Logic 7.2 but still there. I
didn't originally do the "crossgrade" from 7.1 to 7.2 because it's
mostly about running on Intel and I don't have an Intel Mac. But I've
ordered it now because this new 7.2.1 update requires 7.2.
I mentioned this problem (and a couple of others) at a logic demo that
came through town a few months ago and there were murmers of agreement
throughout the room. I've mentioned it on OSXaudio.com and others have
also reported the problem there.
I told eMagic about it years ago when Logic was at version 4 or 5, and
also reported it to Apple's official bug report site (after Apple bought
out eMagic). Apple put in a cool automated bug report generator but
since this bug doesn't crash the program, it's not caught and reported
that way. They have fixed crashy bugs along the way, though, so that bug
reporting system is a cool thing.
Anyhoo, after the recent Logic demo the cool person doing the demoing
gave me his email at Apple and I sent a detailed report to him that he
passed along to the programming team. Dunno if that helped or if they
were already, finally, onto the problem.
Anyway, the new version arrives here on Wednesday. Here's hoping.
Cheers,
