Hello all, I've just upgraded to a MacBook Pro and Logic Pro 9 and I'm having some problems with track volumes changing when I swipe the touchpad accidentally. Does anyone know how to turn that function off?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry to bump this one, but I'm surprised more people who use MacBook's don't have this problem. I'm really getting annoyed by this as it is happening several times during each session. It's making my mix a nightmare. I won't bump this again, but if anyone has any insight I would be most greatful.
Thanks,

Can you explain? Do you mean that when you touch your pad you accidentally turn up or down the volume of the channel? Are you in mixer at the time or this just happens regardless? Sorry to ask this, just trying to help.
Hey, thanks for the interest Jazzhead! I'll try and explain it a bit better here. So when I'm in the normal arrange view, you know how there are two channel strips along the left hand side? The track you have selected, plus the output track. Well when I'm trying to move my cursor around or zoom in/out using the trackpad in the arrange portion of the screen, sometimes what I'm doing with my fingers changes the volume on those channel strips. If I have a full mixer up, it will effect some of those channel volumes all though that is less of a problem. It's just really annoying when you go and zoom out of the session using the track pad, and you accidentally put the 1/2 Output to +6dB and not even realize it.
Thanks again,

Hi, I just turned on my mac pro to check what you was doing and think I found it. What I think is happening is this. When you have your set up as you have described. If you have say, clicked on a track, that is the track name, in this instance audio one or track 1, if you do not then click on the to the main grid area again of Logic,before you touch your pad in or out to view, it will only affect the faders instead of the view, as in zooming in or out the whole view for you.
Although saying that I can see how it can cause problems as when I messed about with some extreme use it does what you say. I think it is just a bit of glitch with it. A lot of guys I know, including myself use a mouse anyway instead of the pad, maybe this is best as well for you.
I figured it out!!!! I went to System Preferences then to "TrackPad" and then unchecked the box/turned off the "Rotate".
Did anyone end up figuring this problem out? I am having the exact same problem as CameraSound was having. Any wisdom?
Were you able to figure this problem out? I am having the same exact problem you were having back in June.
Thanks so much SAMM1983! That did the trick 🙂
