I get this problem when trying to set the global recording path. I did an archive and install because of some weird behaviour,,.. and everything is fine until I try to arm a track for recording.....spinning beach ball and crash. I can open prefernces,.. but when I try to set a recording path it crashes that way also. I have deleted prefs files and still no go... I think I read somewhere of a pref file in the system folder...I'm going to try and find the post and delete it if it exists. Otherwise, I guess I'll start reinstalling Logic. BTW ..I am running 10.4.6 Logic 7.2.1 Good luck DAve
