Creating Overview - Again

This is happening on Snow Leopard with Logic 9.01 and is reproducible every time. I record a bunch of tracks in a session, save and next time I open the project, it goes through the "creating overview" process drawing all the waveforms recorded in the last session, can take a few minutes if a lot of tracks were recorded. If I then save it again, and open again without recording anything new, it opens without "creating overview", anything new that gets recorded will get the "creating overview" treatment next time I open the project. Is anyone else experiencing this? and if so, is there a solution? It's driving me nuts, and if I were ever brave/insane enough to use Logic 9 in a commercial enviroment, it would be very embarrassing for clients to have to sit through that.

It's worth adding in case this helps apple track it down, I am at 96k. Is this happening for people at 44.1 as well?

Happened to me two weeks ago with 32 tracks, 48kHz, 24 bit, WAV's.

I haven't used Logic since.

To me, Logic is unusable until this issue is fixed.

I have the same problem here since I upgradeed to logic 9 (9.0.2)

I recorded some sessions with 4-8 tracks for about 2-3 hours with 24bit/48khz and it is totally annoyinng and very time consuming that logic recalculates these overviews over and over and over again if I reopen the project.

Really really bad. Especially as this bug should be really easy to fix...

I just reinstalled my whole system from scratch.

Hope it fixes at least one or two other snow leopard misbehaviours - at least, the waveform recalculation bug was not affected - it's still there :-/

Apple: Is there a way to easily fix this? Or what can i do to fix it myself?

Thank you in advance.

Just wanted to add it happens here too... only since Logic 9, no earlier versions did this.

I'm on Leopard 10.5.8. Logic 9.02

From what I can gather, new overviews are drawn from the last recording session. Not all audio waveforms are redrawn, just the last ones recorded prior to re-opening the song. And then those audio files no longer have to go through that process from that point on.

Does that seem consistent with what everyone here is experiencing?

this is driving me nuts as well. i am in 10.6.2 and logic 9.0.2 and there are some audio files that Logic want to recreate overview or take literally forever to open..every freakin' time i open the project. I have one large live concert file (a couple hours) that takes almost an hour to open. what is going on? and why doesn't anyone at Apple reply? help!

No fix yet? This is a very serious (and obvious) bug. How can they let it go on so long unaddressed? They should rename the program Logic Studio Amateur, as it would be very difficult to use it in a professional environment with clients waiting ages for logic to recreate overviews again. Disgraceful.

Ran into this while recording vocals over the weekend. Fortunately, I didn't record a lot of takes. I thought I had done something wrong. It took several saves to get it to stop.

It's really too bad as I just moved several songs from PT8. They might have to go back...

Is this a general problem with Logic 9.02... is everyone running 9.02 experiencing this?

Anyone at Apple listening??

Nov 19, 2009 10:07 AM in response to Shane Power

I'll rephrase that... is this overview problem affecting everyone running Logic 9.02 on OSX 10.6.2?

Same deal here with OS 10.5.7 and LP 9.0.2. My projects are generally small but it's still bloody annoying.

I just can confirm that it happens on any computer in our studio with L9.0.2 under both OS 10.5.7 & 10.6.2.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Have you guys used this?

Thanks Data Stream. I submitted my "feedback" this morning. We'll wait and see.

Any more 'Creating Overview' victims? Anyone else submitted "feedback" to Apple?

I hope there's a fix coming soon. Some other DAW's are looking very appealing.

Bump.

No response from Apple. No fix.

Anyone any solution?

Logic 9.03?? 2010??
