drums keep disappearing when recording ..

Hi All I have a roland HD1 kit and its all linked up to logic pro x

I have an ongoing niggle where I want to play and record my own drums but 30 seconds into playing or recording the drums all drop out one by one.

This has cost me a new Mac mini as I was told it was a hard drive issue .. but I have the same problem on a brand new machine .. can anyone help me as Im going slightly nuts here trying to solve this.

I should also point out that it does the same when I use a midi keyboard for drums too

any help would be gratefully appreciated ..

you will have to talk to me in " idiot" mode as I'm not too good with complicated comp talk lol ..

Thanks in advance 😕

Mac mini, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), roland HD1 drum kit

drums and keyboard go in separate usb slots

the spec is

2.6 GHz Intel Core i5

8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3


I do use an interface for other instruments also on a separate usb in . so in theory nothing should be clogging this up .


what happens is .. I start drumming and about 30 seconds into recording I start losing drums one by one

its a bit like a battery dying out until there is nothing there at all this happens just playing and recording

I had the same problem with a macbook and was told it was the hard drive dying.. !! which is why I got the brand new mac mini only to have the same fault .

drums worked fine on logic 8 etc .

and I have just found out that it also has the same fault on garageband

it may be possible, I am not sure! Apple are not usually supportive of downgrading.

and you need to confirm that the OS is the problem first.

Hopefully someone else on here may help.


if you have the funds I would try using an external drive first, if you still have the problem, you can still carry on using the external drive once the problem is eventually solved.
