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. 😟

i've made the switch from 32bit to 64bit mode permanent - since doin this the constant 'locking up' problerm has disappeared

this is using up to date drivers with 10.8.2 on a 16GB Retina Macbook

I heard recently that there is a fix available for registered owners of Wave's plugins that gets around this issue...

Have you contacted them to obtain this fix?

I don't have a link to this as I don't have the issue myself. One of my clients who has this issue, contacted waves and they provided the fix for him. I would suggest you should do the same.

Cheers

What about el capitan? Has anyone installed new OS and tested Logic Pro on it?

LP9 is currently a 'No Go' for me at least...

I think no hope that LP9 will be work good on El Capitan
It's sad

Hello! Having the same unresponsive problem. Have given up on Logic pro 9. Does this problem also exist in Logic X? Has anyone dared to update to find out?

Hello, do you know if this problem exists in Logic pro X? Or is it only occuring in Pro 9?

If you have Process Buffer Range set to 'Large' try lowering it to 'Medium'. It worked for me!
