Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I just upgraded to Catalina now im trying to use Logic Pro X and and whenever I import any sort of audio the 1st small bit of music always gets messed up. Please let me know how to fix this. I have had issues importing mp3's as well as converting mp4's to audio files. Its like there is a little hiccup in the conversion proccess for the 1st half second of music every time.
You're not alone.
I've just gone to my work machine which was updated yesterday only to find we can't do any audio work because every file we import to the stage sounds like it is skipping all the way through.
How exactly has this been possible, it's the same company! Sure, different teams, but how can you have your two core software (because Final Cut is also broke) fail on a platform release?
Apple really has stalled on quality in the last 5 years
I'm also using Logic Pro X 10.4.4 on Catalina. Majority of my plugins (some Izotope, some Waves, and Arturia) worked perfectly fine in Catalina. My biggest issue right now is that I can't seem to import samples with a bit depth greater than 24. Anything lower is find, but anything greater just crashes Logic Pro X.
Also noticed that bouncing mp3s is impossible. I can bounce WAV files now.
Anybody facing this issue too?
I have this problem.
I upgraded to Catalina myself because my computer was bugging me to do it every day for a year
but I'm so mad at myself for doing it for this reason. Also the App Store doesn't work on Catalina
The only workaround I've found thus far (in my limited attempts) is to use https://phonicmind.com/ & download their .stem.stem.mp4 option & then import that. It locks the audio files. However, I'm not sure if it's exactly what I'd hoped for. Definitely pretty frustrated Apple hasn't continued to support Logic as a product.
Many workarounds were posted in that discussion already.

This is a gratuitous statement. Your post looks as Spam. I just hope this is not the case.

Totally not the case, but I could see why you think that. That site/service specific export option was just the only thing I got to work, in fact the locked files didn’t work as well as I’d hoped & I had to convert .flac files to .wav. I saw the solution about .wav files but not any others , was hoping to find a solution for .mp3 files (perhaps it’s here & just wasn’t toward the top of the solutions)
Thanks for the feedback and my apologies for having misinterpreted your post.
The solution is to convert the MP3 file to an uncompressed format like WAVE or AIFF. No need for third party utilities. You have everything to do it in your macOS. For example, one simple approach is to use Music.

I'm having the same issues. People are saying to revert back to OS X but I switched to Catalina because I purchased plug-ins and effects from "Waves" and they're starting to put all their stuff on Catalina. Without Catalina there go my Plug-ins. This is a big issue.
I have had this EXACT same issue ever since I upgraded to MacOS Catalina a month ago, and man am I regretting THAT decision. Add to that the fact that I can't update the software I paid $200 for because it mysteriously says it was purchased through another account...I really am getting sick of Apple and their $1000+ garbage machines. But rants aside, I tried using WAV, mp3, m4a, and AIFF file format without success. Even importing the audio file into Logic using the import function just results in an endless spinning of the Apple beach ball and me having to force quit the program. In fact, the ONLY workaround that worked for me was importing the file into a garageband project, then opening that project in Logic and copying and pasting the file over from that Logic project into the Logic project I was working in. Completely unecessary and totally unprofessional, and I'm thinking of switching to a different DAW just to get out of the clutches of Apple.
What i'm doing to solve this problem it's using a audio converter, so you take your mp3 or whatever file, and convert it to whatever works for you, but you have to make sure to convert the file and adjust the sample rate to the one you are using in the project you're working. I know it sounds crazy, but even if you take an mp3 file at 44.1Khz and just take the audio and convert it to the same have worked for me. I usually use the online audio converter website.
Had this issue where audio that plays fine skips all the way through when importing.
Don't know if this will always fix but i had trouble with a voice recording of some drums and solved it by converting the file into AIFF. Played perfectly after that
Having this same exact issue with the imported audio not converting correctly and skipping through all the way. Any suggestions other than rolling back the OS to sierra?
I’m having the same problem with importing mp3s. I tried converting the mp3s to wav files and that will import correctly with no issues. Annoying? Yes, but it is a work around for now.
No still having the same issue with the new Catalina update.
There were also problems with Logic bouncing a mix in Catalina beta.
Actually Logic Pro X 10.4.7 is the Catalina update, but there are lots of bugs in Catalina that I'm sure Apple will fix very soon.
