Play/playhead issue with Logic Pro X 10.5

They don't care ! I look at how long this bug is taking to fix, and now even start to wonder why everyone is making such a big deal about this update when all it did was copy Live's key features (still no macro-ing btw) and play catch up by updating their 18 year old exs24 which was overdue

I've dealt with this with new and older projects as well. This is really a bad situation for those that use the program. I wish Apple would spend more time on just making Logic WORK rather than bells and whistles.

I completely understand where you're coming from and I agree. I was cursing their name. The fact that they released 10.5 without thorough testing is really upsetting. I understand their engineering team doesn't have a large enough base to have enough computers to necessarily notice this bug, but that's my point. They should enlist some of us to beta test their versions before releasing it so we can say things like "no don't do this, it will significantly inhibit the ability of many of your customers to create art". I also agree with the ability to download previous versions. That should always be the case, but especially when the most recent release was a bunch of cool features with the overall software not being sufficiently tested. I am able to make music again because I happened to have a Time Machine backup. Apple OBVIOUSLY has the version 10.4.8, and was that offered to me? No. So anybody who doesn't have Time Machine is screwed. I've been using Logic since I was a child but honestly this makes me rethink whether or not I should continue to purchase new versions.

Well said. And Live still works. That's what I was going to switch to before I was able to revert to 10.4.8. I think we all should take a look at learning it since Apple doesn't seem to make supporting Logic a significant priority (and I understand, they sell computers), where as Ableton is actually focused on the music biz.

Yess! I am also desperate at thus point!!

Logic has become useless and I am on a tight deadline!!! This is so frustrating I am seriously considering switching to Cubase after so many issues. Apple!! You need to get it together because even if I have been a most loyal advocate of your products for years, this is serious professional hindrance which could cost me big!!

I have to agree with you on your previous post! I al absolutely furious they would be so irresponsible not to check THE MOST BASIC feature this program need to do.. like PLAYBACK!!!

waiting for their callback... If they don’t fix this fast, they have lost me for good!

I've been working back on 10.4.8 and now I have an issue where Logic seems to randomly Low Cut certain tracks. I'll be playing a song and the kick will almost entirely go away and there is no automation data or any plugin which is doing that. I know it's a bug because if I open the project, play it and it works, then I make no changes, I play it again and it doesn't work. It sucks but I know I'm gonna have to switch DAWs.

It doesn't look like Apple is going to call me back. I could follow up with them again but honestly I'm not sure if I will. Sorry that I couldn't help guys.

Edit: Screw it I'm gonna call them again. I'll call them until they fix it.

That doesn't fix the bug where the playhead jumps back and doesn't play. Even turning off Preroll, Plugin Compensation, etc doesn't result in the playhead going... it just plays one note and hangs there. Bug is exclusive to Logic Pro X 10.5.0 -- using 10.4.8 8 hours a day for a week has never produced the glitch. Other ones are still present, but not the No Play glitch haha

I didn’t say it wasn’t a bug. Of course it is. I said the problem goes away if you turn Play from marquee selection off. You may not get the functionality you want but for the time being you can make a key command to simulate and go on about your work until it’s fixed

10.5.1 did not fix the issue for me. Maybe we are talking about different bugs. Im talking about hitting space bar and Logic playing for about an ms (didn't measure exactly) and stopping while leaving a marquee selection the length that the playhead moved.. the only thing that has worked for me is turning off play from marquee selection.

It's been over a week or more and no response from Apple. I take back what I said about them being communicative. It's great that they called me once, but if they have my number they should call again. If I don't answer the call never calling again is unacceptable (sometimes people go to the bathroom etc). I mean if I try to have somebody come over to trim my trees and I call him and there's no answer, well I call back. The fact that Apple didn't is inexcusable. They clearly do not care about their customers (although we've all known that now for a while). May the old Apple we used to love rest in peace.

I went back ton10.4.8 (System Mojave)as the problem was between Native Instrument S61 midi controller and Logic 10.5. in my case). Native has a warning their page. No upgrading from there until this all clears.

Everybody file a bug report! Maybe we get heard...
