Delay / Reverb tails dropping out

Im getting a problem in almost all my Logic files now when using audio with either a delay or reverb.

The sample will play with the effect on, then the reverb / delay tail will drop out for a few seconds, before comming back in again.

(im using tape delay and platinum verb)

Any ideas how to sort this?

Yeah I here you, but if you're after a natural sounding mix there's no need for more than two or three reverbs and a couple of different delays.

If you think about it you'd never have a situation naturally with the drums in a large space, the keyboards in a chamber, the guitars in a cupboard and the singer in a shoe box all at the same time.

Unless, of course, you're experimentalising.

You can always bounce the tracks down as well, post effect with just the track and the bus solo'd.

I recently experienced this behavior for the 1st time.

I had an instance of delay designer on an audio track with with one short audio region. The region would play and activate the delay and after the 3rd or 4th tap, the signal would drop out for a second or 2 and the it would come back.

The solution that I found was to add some blank audio after the region and "merge" the regions together to create 1 longer region (longer than the length of the delay.)

Anyone else experience this?

Yes, the same here. And not only with Logic's delays, but all of them. Even the ones on the UAD drop out.

but it's especially anoying with the delay designer, because it is a fx delay, and i normally dont use it on busses. But at least it works that way. And the empty audio region aswell. Thx.

unfortunatly logic 9.1 still has it! I was hoping.

Anyone knows if it's better on os 10.6?

I'm having this bug too, started suddenly and I now can't get rid of it. I've tried every setting I can think of, reinstalling logic, disabling all 3rd party plugins, trashing preferences, updates etc. Really frustrating, musically crippling actually - it's a real time waster. Work arounds are all well and good but why is this happening?!!! I wonder if a complete system reinstall is in order...has anyone had any success yet?

Ha a, I like your style, Bill, you've been missing on the forum for a while.

I really don't recognize this as a 'bug', though - is it a(nother) Logic 9 thing?
