I have recently upgraded to OSX Mavericks. Before this update everything was working fine. Now that I have upgraded, after a few minuets of using logic my playback stops. I have cheacked outputs and made sure nothing is solo'd or muted. If I then restart the project it works fine again for a few more minuets. There is no error pop-up either.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kyle
Logic Pro
Hi
Any thrid party plugs that may be in Demo mode?
One project or all projects?
CCT
No I have no demo plug-ins and yes, this happens across all my projects.
Are you running Logic Pro 9.1.8 as that is the only version of LP9 that works correctly under Mavericks.....
Yes I am. So does that mean it's a problem with Logic itself, not Mavericks?
Thanks,
Kyle
No.. LP9.1.8 and Mavericks 10.9.2 working just fine here... so it has to be something to do with your own system, setup/installation somehow...
Do you use a Midi/Audio interface? If so, did you upgrade their drivers (if any used) to the latest 10.9.2 versions?
...and of course, are your Midi/Audio interfaces compatible with Mavericks 10.9.2 in the first place? Did you check before upgrading to Mavericks?
I have an Alesis Multimix16 Firewire, and a M-audio Axiom pro but the proplem still occurs wether they are turned on or not. Both of these are now discontinued products so there are no longer updates for their drivers. Would that be whats causing the problem?
Cheers,
Kyle
To test, in this order....
Shut down your Mac.
Unplug both devices
Restart your Mac and test using Logic 9's built in keyboard (Caps Lock)..... and see what happens...
If you still get issues then delete Logic's own prefs and the CS prefs too and test again without plugging in any of your devices...
Now if that works ok.. plug in one of your devices at a time and test again until you find the culprit...
I have followed your instructions, but I do not have those files in my prefrences folder.

What is the format of the HD that you're running you project from?
Mac osx journal?
Fat 32?
Hi
This looks like Macintosh HD:Library:Preferences.
You need to go to the <User> library, which is hidden by default.
In the Finder, use the Go menu whilst holding down Option. The User Library will appear in the "Go" menu

That's the wrong library.....
Ok so I found the files in the user libary. After deleting them it still happened.
Will downgrading be the best solution? I only upgraded because Mavericks was free.
Thanks,
Kyle
Hi
Before doing further drastic steps you need to work out where the problem lies.
With a new project from the default empty template (no plugins), and just some Apple Loops in the Tracks Area:
1) Disconnect the audio interface and run Logic using the Built-In audio (Preferences:Audio:Devices). Problem goes away?
2) Disconnect audio interface and the keyboard controller and run using Bulit-In audio. Problem goes away?
Once you have found out the answer to these, further troubleshooting may or may not be necessary.
CCT
I'm still getting the problem after doing this. I don't think it's a issue with my divices but a bug in Logic.
I think this becuase I have found out if I either hit the solo shortcut "S", and click it again the sound returns, and if I click command Z this also fixes it. Also I have noticed it only cuts off when I move a region.
I have been continuing my projects with using those quick fixes.
Cheers,
Kyle
Ok.. you are talking about audio sound not playback....
Clicking S twice to get sound back indicates you had something in Solo Safe mode....
Command Z is the undo command so you are undoing whatever you did previously,.... which sounds like you are putting something into Solo Safe Mode based on what else you said you found, fixes it...
Does this happen with a brand new project?
You might have messed up the key commands in which case.. delete Logic's prefs as per this....
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:
If you are not sure how Solo Safe is getting turned on.. the latter part of the foilowing thread may help... (see the stuff about CC9 or a control assignment)
Why does Logic Pro 9's playback stop working after a couple of minuets?
