Logic saved a project wrong. Looking for advice

It didn’t stop you from logging on and replying with a pointless post. How do you think I feel Rn. Hard work irreversibly altered. Since Logic Pro x. I’ve encountered all these small but dangerous problems. I’ve done clean Install. I tried to stop using too much third party but it’s still buggy.

not just the bounce, the save is also an issue. It seems as if the daw just didn’t save properly because I’m constantly saving. I usually have like 50 saves for one session alternative, and I set my maximum to 100. I couldn’t wait for a reply so I went ahead and zipped the session and then switched the projectdata 🤷🏽‍♂️ Didn’t help. Looks like logic switches those on its own depending on last opened, regardless of save

Yes the processing of my drums are not the same from the bounce. the two bounces sound identical tho... but none of the session back ups sound like it. Also seems like there are stuff on the master bus that disappeared. I’ve done all the experiments. I bounced it normalized on, off, protection, and still the bounce of 605 and 550 don’t mirror the saves at 535 and 650. I’ve checked older alternatives and I’m using the same exact sample in battery 4

i Read about this issue before, and the replies were filled with pointless posts, that offer no help. This a support forum for Logic Pro x is it not? If you cant offer a meaningful response please don’t respond because I’m getting your notifications on my phone thinking it’s a possible solution. Just message each other 🙏🏽

I opened on. Both 10.3 and 10.4. On el Capitan and high Sierra. It doesn’t always behave like this but I’ve caught instances where channel eq didn’t save correctly reverting the eq setting to blank when I open a previous saved session. The problem is the eq isn’t blank so I can’t confidently rule that as the problem. Sometimes if you have a send bypassed it tips off the buffer and can cause phase issues for that particular track. I experimented with that to no avail. I checked my system to see if there was any plugins I deleted that are probably not showing up in the session. I couldn’t find any. If I remember correctly, if you delete a plugin logic will inform you that something is missing. I’m guessing it saved wrong. Is there a file that can be rebuilt Incase of this? The reason why I brought up the two sessions is because I added something to the later bounce, which means I saved it before I added something, and the backups agree minus the processing on the drums... almost like they’re pushing into the master way too hard. I backed off. Still doesn’t sound right. On the bounces (mp3) the drums have a lot of weight, and it’s not driving the master.

okay haven’t logged in a while... man I’m just waiting on Erik to see this post (if he’s even here anymore). He gets directly to the business. I answered everything above and beyond, maybe it’s above your knowledge which is cool because this is an extremely complicated

my guy thank you for responding. I have two bounces. An earlier one and a later one. They sound Identical because they are.

In the later bounce all I did was unmuted something. First bounce was at 5:50pm and second one was at 6:05pm.

In my backup section. Where you can revert saves. I have a back up at 5:35 and 6:05

for whatever reason the unmute saved, but the drums of both saves are driving into the master and sound different particularly the kick and bass dynamics. It does not sound good! But the bounces do not reflect this. They sound perfect. Am I screwed? I can’t replicate the bounce for my life.

Yes exactly. I’m assuming it’s not my error only because channel eq has reset numerous times when opening a session. Sometimes if you hit compare, it actually loads the correct settings if you don’t do anything else before hitting compare. I’ve been at it all night and morning. The closest I can get it sound like the bounce is moving the phase a little bit with little labs phase plugin, but still missing the weight. I am in the process of having of sourcing the mixing, so I want the stems as close to the bounce as possible

Saves at 605 and 535*

bounced 605 and 550*
