Logic Pro keep playing and WILL NOT STOP!

Hi there folks,

I just bought a brand new computer. I went from using Logic Pro on a 2009 MacBook Pro with 8 gb of memory to a 2.44 ghz 12-core Mac Pro with 24 gb of memory. I just started working on a song that was stalling quite often with Logic on the old computer and 1) find it still stalls! and 2) often during playback it suddenly becomes unresponsive to the stop button (either moused on the screen or hit with the space bar) and just keeps playing. What should I do? Is this a known problem?

At first I thought it might be the Abbey Road plugins, which do not work well in 10.7 or 10.8 (I'm running 10.8.1 btw). But after removing all instances from this song and deleting the files from the computer Logic is still misbehaving badly.

The only other plugins I have loaded up on this computer are Valhalla room, Valhalla Shimmer (which I'm not using in this song), Kontakt (which I'm not using with this song), Trillian and Waves CLA-2a/3a/76.

If anyone can help I'd be eternally grateful. This is so wildly frustrating! I figured after shelling out this much money and taking 2 solid weeks to very carefully set up the computer it would be smooth sailing. 😟

If you want to get Apple's attention you will have to do more than post on their own user forums website, we're users just like yourself.


I would call Apple with your complaint, raise h#ll about the situation, you're preaching to the choir here.

Just to clarify... It is an OS X issue and not a Waves one but someone at Waves came up with a work around fix for those having the lag issues with some of their plugins.... Which i believe you can obtain if your are a registered Waves owner.. It is only effective for Waves plugins and is not a general fix for all plugins that exhibit this behavior.

I do not think that is a waves problem but i will have a look,thanks,... and yes i am gonna complain to apple of course but is important to put my complains in a forum,why not?


Not saying you shouldn't post, just that posting here will not put any pressure on Apple... however, if a person makes the effort to call, that shows a different kind of commitment, one that is more serious than a post on a user forum. If everyone here that complained about this problem had called Apple, who knows, there may have been a fix by now?

Yeah. The fix is called ableton live


Being a user of Live 8 and now Live 9... Live has it's own set of long standing bugs...


PDC issues... (One of the most complained about problems/'features'!)


The Slow Tempo Automation issue


and...


The really annoying 'failure to remember audio configuration settings' bug that plagues some people endlessly it seems...


So.. in summary...

I'm sorry, I use Logic 9.1.9 with ML 10.8.5


I think you mean Logic 9.1.8.....


You wrote about "The Slow Tempo Automation issue"


That post relates to Ableton Live issues not Logic ones...


I have track where I use two tempo and two signature. And I have problem with Cycle: when I stop track, sound is continued for a while.

My sound card is TC Electronic Desktop 6


What plugins are you using on that track(s)? Are any of them ones that have to read ahead.. like certain Mastering plugins? Ozone for example... or some EQs...


To test, disable plugins and then play and see if the issue continues...

Nov 25, 2014 9:21 PM in response to The Art Of Sound

I use a free Kontakt for couple track and standart Logic plugin: EQ, Compressor


I have some graphic glitch tоо: sometimes some part of screen is froze for a while


I installed ML on my Mac mini 2012 with core i7 and after that I restored user's profile from my previous system on new installation


I think I need to reinstall OS X and Logic and new user's profile too


Because according my experience It's bad for Logic performance and stability when you restore system (profile) from other system or install new OS update on old OS X


it's sadness..

So 2 and 1/2 years and apparently, no fix as of yet. Wow Apple! I've been to countless forums regarding this topic and I'm really surprised to see no REAL solution. Here it is, 2015 and I'm running Yosemite. I've been using the same Logic Pro version 9 for about 3 years but just upgraded from an early 2009 iMac to a new late 2013 Mac Pro and I am just now encountering this problem. Pleeeeeeeeeeeease, anyoooooooone! Has there been a solution? Almost 3 years is too long for a bug. Thx!

Logic Pro keep playing and WILL NOT STOP!
