Q: Is anyone else finding the Grid snapping very annoying?

Yes Very MUCH! But that's not as annoying as having random copies of loops being slightly shorten or moved off the grid for no reason. Something with the zoom command is causing them to resize or float off the grid causing terrible timing issues. I been playing around with this for about 2 hours. I found using the Loop is the best work around for now. If I have too many copies of an audio loop or midi loop, say 4 bars long, on a track, they tend to push each other or shorten other loops. Its really random but reproducable over time. I have not tried a clean project yet. Someone said apple is aware of this and to delete your logic 9 and X preferences then log in as a new user.

Are people actually making music like this? 

Welcome to the Apple/Logic Beta Test Team!

You pay Apple to beta test Logic for the upcoming Mavericks OS.

Just kidding... sort of

I have the same problem and it's driving me insane. Regions never snap to where I want them... or rather where they should naturally want to snap. They are always a few ticks off like at 1.1.17 instead of 1.1.1 which is a total time waist to have to manuall zoom way in every time and nudge them to the correct place.

I wiped my entire OS X and reinstalled LPX and did not install LP9 in case shared preferences was causing the bug and the problem persists, even with the 10.0.1 update. Huge bummer.

Guys, i know it's an obvious thing to say, but are you using relative or absolute snap positioning?  Try Absolute if you're having problems and want everything you drag to pop to the nearest increment that you have selected.

OMG DUDE! Much thanks for that find! That seems to have fixed the problem for me. Did splits, insert slience on several tracks and pushed them around with NO problem. Love Logic X again. 

God Bless.

honestly. thank you so much. saved my life!!!

is anyone else finding that 'Alignment Guides' keeps turning itself back on when you open logic back up?

I unchecked the Aligment Guides and nothing happen. Still the snap is no in right place. Everytime when i made a beats example, i have to zoom in and all ticks have to manually correctly place. In LP9 i dont have this problem.

I tried everything but not solved. I am really sad about this in LPX. I tired the all snap version, the absolute value, automation absolute value, but nothing....

Temporary work arround is to create your song in Logic 9, and then import it to Logic X to do your mastering and sound replacing. Best to have two networking Mac's sharing an external hard drive for faster transfers of audio and MIDI files.

Still having the same snapp to grid problem with logic X. its oft a few ticks off and I have to zoom in and out all the time. Unistalled logic 9 settings, unchked alignmentguids, grids, tried absolut value.

If this problem is not fixed with 10.5 I will say godby to logic.

Did you find a solution? I do suffer the same problem and getting really frustrated about it. Tried everything to get this under controll with no success :/

Acid, there's been a few issues posted here - Which one are you struggling with most?  Is it a few ticks out? Or you having problems with Absolute/relative snap?

The function absolute/relative snap does not make a difference. Activating one or the other will end up to the same problem.

As others described it before. To copy an audio file or an exact lenghts of a midi file mostly ends up into few ticks before or after the snap/Grid. The pic shows an example I just printed after copying files in the arrangement window.

This fault you are only able to see when you zoom into the arrangement completely. For this shot I used the maximum zoom.
