I want to use jack Pilot and had found several people on other forums who had issues with Jack and 10.8
Does anyone here use Jack Pilot in 10.8 running Logic Pro 9.1.8?
It works OK on my mbp but it is still 10.6.8.
Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), 2.3GHz Intel Core i5,8GB 1333MHz D
Hi Art of Sound, here is one of the Mini Audio threads
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/592617?answerId=3230261022#3230261022
There are more in the box in the upper right corner of the page, mostly very old but sometimes 2012.
My problem is that the audio keeps dropping out completely or fades away as the song plays. I have been having more and more problems with Logic Pro 9 since before I bought the Mini. I had an iMac which died when I installed Snow Leopard into it,the screen froze first and the next day the screen would only show a white background with a 5 inch wide green vertical strip in the middle.
I was lucky to have a MBP and it was new enough to use 10.6 but the copies of Logic on my 2 macs are installed from the cd/dvd's of Studio and since then,no it happened before in 10.5 too but it is getting worse.
Logic will not remember the settings, every time I open a project the settings have all changed. I mean things like in the Arrange window the setting I use of no overlap is ALWAYS back to overlap, the divisions or ticks setting is always back to smart, and so on, many locked MIDI tracks have changed notes in them.
As far as the pro's and con's of which MIDI interface to use the Akai repirman in Germany,where I must send my breath controller to when it acts up was on tour recording a band and his RME $1000 interface stopped working and he claims caused his MBP to crash, all inthe middle of a concert he was being paid to record,so he quickly pulled out a Bespeco MIDI interface[no drivers] and used that and was able to record atleast the second half of the concert,so expensive doesn't mean better all the time.
I don't expect you to fix my Logic problem so I guess we are finished, unless you have a sixth sense that detects Logic flaws?
55,
I don't know if you read any of those threads fully but after you mentioned Mini Audio issues i did some research of my own and found (as shown in the threads you provided) that in every case bar one.. the problem was being caused by something external to the Mini itself.. be it software issues using programs like Jack... Faulty or poor fitting connecting cables or issues with powered speakers! Only in one case was it found to be a hardware fault with a Mini (Bad Logic Board) and in that particular case there were many other symptoms other than intermittant audio issues that manifested itself.
Several people noted that reseting the PRAM fixed an intermittant audio issue caused by the Mini getting confused when a poor fitting Audio cable was plugged in or pulled out of the Mini so the Mini's detection routines no longer knew correctly if something was plugged in or not. A reset of the PRAM resolved this in every case.
So... I'm going to deduce from this that Mini hardware issues relating to Audio problems are very rare and no more than any other Mac out there.
Logic not remembering settings is a symptom of a permissions issue usually with it's main preference list or a project prefs not being saved correctly within the project saves...
As for your example about an RME card going 'down'. Sure that can happen. and yes some of the cheap midi interfaces can work and work well.. I was simply saying that in cases where people have the majority of issues with unexplained Logic Crashes, I have noted it is usually caused by either.. badly written drivers or firmware in devices that don't use drivers.. or 3rd party plugins... or conflicting software installed.. such as Jack. Those three thing probably account for 90% of such unexplained crashes in my experience.
I don't have a sixth sense.... I just happen to have spent a lot of time helping my client base through various issues.. and after reading and helping out in forums here and elsewhere... you tend to see patterns... and one of those patterns in relation to what typically causes crashes, is what i have listed above.
The most common root cause of computer issues however, has been proven time and time again.. to be that "loose nut situated roughly half way between the chair and the screen" 🙂
Anyone got jack Pilot to work in 10.8.4?
