Q: Logic express stops recording!

Hi,

I'm using logic express 9.1.8 and recording suddenly stops (after 10 or 20 or 30 seconds) while recording a audio file on a track, without touching anything. It just stops recordings and goes to play mode. Any idea of what that might be and how to solve it? I'm not to good at this, so thanks for your patience as well.

Mac OS X (10.7.5)

    Thanks Ariel. I tried all that but it didn't help. I forgot to mention that I am using a Presonus Studiolive 16.0.2 hooked to my imac through firewire... I have been reading quiet a bit and it seems that some of these mixers (specially those running under 220V) are experiencing the same problem. They have to be sent back to service for repair. Too bad I had to work so much for that, but Presonus does not have this problem very well displayed on their site... I'll let you know if I solved my problem when they sent it back. Thanks again.

    I too have the same problem. It seems to happen in any DAW, not just logic. Also it seems that Universal Control freezes and doesn't respond for a few seconds and then 'unfreezes' a the same time it stops recording. I have tried multiple firewire cables and changing the firmware and factory resetting the 16.0.2 without luck. Have you found a solution to this problem? Also can you please link me to where you ahve read that it happens to sme of these mixers especially 220v ones.

    Thanks

    Hi Saileash,

    After trying lots of things like you, I decided to contact my salesman and explained the problem. He didn't know what was wrong but he immediately contacted Technical service who said it's a very common problem on mixers running on 220V (sold basically in Europe), and it's an easy repair (they have to rewire or repair somehow the firewire cards); It took a week but now it woks perfectly well and I'm enjoying every minute of it.

    Presonus technical service worlwide have all they need to repair it. So my advice is to send your mixer to your store and have him send it to a Presonus repair center. Hope this will help.

    Good luck.
