Logic 10.0.7 keeps playing after stop command

I had this problem after I imported tempo information from an Acidized WAV file. For some reason it turned on plugin latency as well as pre-roll. I turned both of these off and Logic was back to normal.

(Pre-Roll settings are in the project setting and not in Preferences. Knowing this then would've saved me a lot of headache, hopefully it saves you some, just in case.)

In regards to the music playing after hitting stop,

before resetting your custom key commands (which I love mine dearly) try this:

Preferences>Audio>General>Plug-in Latency>Compensation: Off

This fixed that incredibly annoying "post-roll" that was driving me crazy.

Wasn't a thread issue, or a preferences file issue.

I'd complain about the pointlessness of some of these features but it would be personal bias, I'm sure somewhere out there some studio can't operate without the things I find incredibly irritating.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

If it makes you happier.... Please jump to Cubase..... no one here will care..... We are all just users like yourself.... and neither Apple nor Logic's Devs use this forum to any degree...

Seriously though, I cannot reproduce your issue here..

By Stop command, you mean you press the space bar yes?

When I press the space bar, Logic stops immediately....

So....

Do you have any 'read ahead' plugins in your project?

Try with a new project and no plugins other than a single SI in an instrument track..to make a sound or a single apple loop in an audio track and test... See if it still does this.

If not, look at which plugins you are using....especially those used for Mastering that read ahead...

10.0.7 and 10.9.3 here....

Various Motu Ultralites..... and several different Macs.. (iMac, Mac Mini, Mac Mini Server, MBP and so on..)

None have this issue so Im guessing something else is going on.....

Dd you test using a brand new project?

If you have the same issue then it's time to trash LPX's prefs and then test again...

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.

Apple says that 10.0.7 supports 12 core Mac Pros, but there seems to be some issue with that.

Thats quite possible.... I cannot test for that here as the most cores I have is 8 via an i7 Quad core.. but given they have just added support for 12 cores.. it is possible this new implementation might be a little buggy as this early stage...

All I can suggest is for you to submit feedback via this form...

https://www.apple.com/feedback/logic-pro.html

...and hopefully the problem will be resolved in the next update, if indeed, it's the 12 core implementation that is the problem...

I'm having this issue too and I'm using a 2010 MacBook Pro. Mavericks and Logic are the latest versions. I'm using a Presonus 44VSL for my interface.

Thanks for finding this solution, Ed. I also have a 12-core Mac Pro that was set to automatic and I was being driven crazy by the same issue. Dropping it down to 12 threads made the stopping lag more reasonable. I agree - I hope that the ProApp folks address this in a future update. For now I'm going to leave it at 12 threads and see if it affects the performance and also do a little investigating (and submit a bug fix request to the apple support area).

Thanks again.

I think what you're seeing is added buffers, the more threads, the more buffers. If this is what's happening it's not a good sign as it shows the operating system is becoming very inefficient and that added buffers are required to make things run smoothly, it's probably true for Logic-x as well. There a lot more overhead than in previous incarnations of the OS & Logic. Unfortunately, it doesn't bode well for real-time applications like Logic.

has anyone got it fixed? I have the same problem with logic pro x 10.1.1. It keeps playing second or so after stop command...my system is Mac Pro 12 core, 32Gb memory, OSX 10.10.2.

In 10.1.1 the problem is still there, like I found out shortly after upgrading my Nehalem to Westmere… Max Threadnumber for Logic Pro X is 12, (NOT Auto!!!!), In Logic Pro 9 the Threadnumber must be at 8 to have no playback issues…

Hi!

I had the exact same problem. The look ahead plugin post got me thinking the "enverb" I added last session (with look ahead settings). Once I removed it the problem was gone. If you don't used exactly this plug in some other look ahead function plugin will probably be causing the problem.

Hope this helps
