Does "undo" give anyone else trouble?

Particularly when Undo results in un-adding a plugin, anything I play, inside and outside of Logic, is surrounded by crazy amounts of crackling. Re-initializing Core Audio fixes it, but this is a serious buzzkill when I'm feeling inspired.


Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Hello Yasu,


It sounds like you are getting some unexpected activity when using the undo command. I recommend steps 5-10 of the following article to help you isolate what could be causing the issue:


Logic Pro X: Troubleshooting basics

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5859

  1. Test with no audio driver
    You can isolate issues with audio devices by starting Logic Pro X with no audio driver. Press and hold the Control key immediately after Logic Pro X starts to open. A dialog asking whether you wish to launch audio drivers will appear. Click "No" and see if Logic Pro X starts up normally.If Logic Pro X launches with no audio driver, check with the audio device manufacture for an updated driver.There could also be an issue with an Audio Unit plug-in. For more information see Logic Pro, Logic Express, MainStage: Disable or remove Audio Unit plug-ins to troubleshoot issues.
  2. Test using the computer's built-in audio hardware
    If you use external audio hardware, try setting Logic Pro X to use the built-in audio hardware on your computer. Choose Logic Pro X > Preferences > Audio from the main menu and click the Devices tab. Choose the built in audio hardware from the Input Device and Output Device pop-up menus. If the issue is resolved using built-in audio, refer to the manufacturer of your audio interface.
  3. Start Logic with a different project template
    Sometimes project files can become damaged, causing unexpected behavior in Logic. If you use a template, damage to the template can cause unexpected results with any project subsequently created from it. To create a completely fresh project choose File > New from Template and select Empty Project in the template selector window. Test to see if the issue is resolved in the new project.
    Sometimes, issues with the data in a project can be repaired. Open an affected project and open the Project Information window with the Project Information key command. Click Reorganize Memory to attempt to repair the project. When you reorganize memory, the current project is checked for any signs of damage, structural problems, and unused blocks. If any unused blocks are found, you will be able to remove these, and repair the project. Project memory is also reorganized automatically after saving or opening a project.
  4. Delete the user preferences
    You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
    1. In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
    2. Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
    3. Press the Go button.
    4. Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
    5. If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
    6. Restart the computer.
  5. Isolate an issue by using another user account
    For more information see Isolating an issue by using another user account.
  6. Reinstall Logic Pro X
    Another approach you might consider is reinstalling Logic Pro X. To do this effectively, you need to remove the application, then reinstall Logic Pro X. You don't have to remove everything that was installed with Logic Pro X. Follow the steps below to completely reinstall a fresh copy of Logic Pro X.
    1. In the Finder, choose Applications from the Go menu.
    2. Locate the Logic Pro X application and drag it to the trash.
    3. Open the Mac App Store
    4. Click the Purchases button in the Mac App Store toolbar.
    5. Sign in to the Mac App Store using the Apple ID you first used to purchase Logic Pro X.
    6. Look for Logic Pro X in the list of purchased applications in the App Store. If you don't see Logic Pro X in the list, make sure it's not hidden. See Mac App Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases for more information.
    7. Click Install to download and install Logic Pro X.
