Logic Pro X keeps crashing

I also am using NI instruments and Kontakt 5 with Mavericks 10.9 and Logic Pro X, and have no problems with them that I know of. Right now, the only extent of Kontakt that I use is the Scarbee MM-Bass, and that's about it, so I'm not really doing anything too intense. Like I said, my Logic Pro X only seems to crash when I'm using the built-in graphical EQ plugin, and it only seems to have become a problem when I installed the update from the App Store for Logic Pro X (this update included an update to the EQ).

I am using a large gammut of NI, SAM, etc., and it just seems like it is about to freeze and even does for a moment but all in all, this is happening over a large range of machines, plugs, interfaces, control surfaces...

But this is what I know-no one on a whole in the pro-industry uses anything but Pro Tools. Not that they don't, aren't or will not have issues but not this type of wide spread chaos.

I for one wish I had not stayed current on the os as well as the program. ML and LP9 worked. Albeit a while after they both were released. But they worked.

I will never do this again. I will stay with what works until the advantages outweigh staying with the old or they stop supporting it.

Just trying to eek out a reel and change everything on my end and I cannot even record anything.

But enough of this. I am going to solve or abandon this. Whining about the obvious shortcommings is nowhere I want to be.

Thanks guys. I will watch and keep in the loop by having signed up for notifications of additional thoughts and updates. You guys rock.

I solved the the crashing problem I was having. I removed the vocals (where I used Flex Pitch) and imported the other tracks into a new project and that did it. The issue is with Flex Pitch I believe.

I realize this is an older thread but i wanted to put this in, just incase somebody else searches it. The problem (1 of many) is the way Logic handles multithread and cores. or lack of the ability to handle them.

He has a great write up on how lame logic is and that apple refuses to admit that logics engine is old and out of date. Also the AU Plugin only supports 16 midi channels. Meaning, you can only access 1 plug in up to 16 channels. In PT and every other DAW you have the choice of 1- 1-16 and 2-1-16. etc..

Not sure why logic won't update but whatever. Just don't leave a track record enabled. It will kill the single core and cause problems..

Are you sure..... this is the USER Library.

Copy & paste what's below in the Go To folder field, all of it!

~/Library/Preferences

I know this is a far fetched but ever considered a RAM fault? Try a RAM test software that checks that; maybe there are faulty cells which Logic trys to access and then crashes.

Hi Rick, did you ever find the solution to your problem, we have exactly the same issue with Logic X crashing the MAC. Any thoughts gratefully received.

Hi Suzanne.

What is the exact problem with logic, I hope it crash a lot like me.

What you did in the moment before the crash?

Thanks in advance.
