Sound and Metering disappears after edits are made.

I recently got a software update for Logic, and since then a new project i started has been acting very strangely.

I play my material and whilst playing, if i move a region or change automation, the sound and metering disappears.

I have checked I/O and audio setups.

This issue also only started happening while had already made some progress on the project.

Any other news of this with the new update??

Macbook Pro 17" 2.53 - 4GB, Mac OS X (10.6.3), Logic Studio, external korg synth, edirol firewire interface

My project contains instrument tracks, audio tracks and midi tracks and some automation.

When I make a change to any of the regions in the arrange window....move, copy or delete a region (not editing the regions content), or add or change automation, the sound drops out, and no levels on the meters can be seen.... but the playhead keeps moving.

Now..... If I add new regions, this new content (midi or audio) can be heard and will be metered, but still none the other regions will be heard.

If i now cut/delete ALL of my regions and then paste/undo the action, ALL of my regions will now be heard again (and metered).

Yet, attempting to now make another change to any region will result in sound dropping out again.

Does this help?

What on earth is going on??

To add to this....

I have taken my project onto another computer running the same version of Logic 9 and the same issue keeps happening.

Is it Logic 9 ? Snow Leopard?

Is the Yellow "SOLO" button in the transport area lit? In other words is it lit Yellow in color, when you are selecting a region?

You can turn the Solo on and off by using the s letter key on your keyboard.

It definitely isn't solo.

All it takes for sound and the meters to drop out is for me to make a change in the arrange window with the regions.

It seems like a bug.

Any word of this ?

Hi Danny,

It could simply be a corrupt Project…

Try This:
Create a New Empty Project and move all the content of the Troublesome Project over to it… now see if it behaves itself…

Cheers,
