Hello all....

Im running Mac Mini 2.4ghz Intell core 2 duo, 8GB ram, 500GB HD, Apogee Ensemble interface, Moutain Lion 10.8.3 & Logic Pro 9.1.8.

2 Days ago Logic has been running just fine, starting last night everytime I open logic it crashes imediately. Ive deleted the logic.plist, ive reinstalled moutain lion OS, ive reinstalled logic from the app store, ive check for all my updates, ive checked for new drivers for my Apogee Ensemble. Nothing is working! What to do now???

ANY HELP WOULD BE AMAZING....

Thank you heaps in advance!

Anything installed (software/hardware) between the time Logic was functioning and now?

Are you using a MIDI controller, if so, which one.

Did you delete the control surfaces file? (.cs extension)

See this document.

look at the last part of deleting user preferences.

Hi

Does it work OK if you use the Built-In audio instead of the Apogee?

I did install the Kramer tape simulated plugin & sound toys bundle. I used the sound toys bundle before it started crashing, the only plugin I didn't use is the Kramer tape yet not have i opened it with it installed.

Midi controller is a 88 key korg N1 synthesizer

I didnt delete the control surface files.

It does not work using built in audio, not does it work in 64bit mode.

I can paste the crash report if that would help?

Thanks for the replies, hopefully we can get to the bottom of this quickly. I have a session coming up on Monday afternoon.

Sorry my typing was crazy... I meant to say, I have installed the Kramer tape plug but have not used it or opened Logic with it installed. I got that plug after the sound toys bundle. I used the sound toys bundle before installing the Kramer tape plug, but I didn't open or use logic nor the Kramer tape plug before it started crashing.

Ok, I delete these two files,

com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
If you have upgraded from Logic Pro 7, you may also need to remove~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro

and now it works perfect! Weird, why did those two files cause such a big rukas?

Thank you guys so much for the help!!

The control surface file seems to corrupt quite easily, if for some reason Logic crashes, the control surface file seems to get trashed and ends up causing repeated crashes.
