I realized that I probably shouldn't attempt to send it as is- that I should convert it to an MP3 first. I am still extremely rudimentary in my Logic skills, so I had to look up how to do that. I finally found the info, and converted the file to an MP3. I was going to send it to you, but I thought I should play it first. It turns out that only the live audio bass part survived- the Apple loop drum track did not, nor did the (badly played) sampled piano part. I went back to Logic to convert the loops to real audio copies before attempting to save again, when Logic crashed again. This time I was not playing, nor was I attempting to add the horn part that had crashed things before. Earlier, the file opened, and let me play piano for a while, even re-record the piano part (I'm not a piano player), with no problem. So. Suggestions? The uncompressed file is about 1 MB, I think, and it could be trimmed, since it's only a four-bar sequence, anyway. It was just a little thing I thought I would lay down to fool around with. But it started crashing Logic when I attempted to add Philharmonik, to add an English horn part. But apparently Philharmonik is not the culprit, since it crashed just now before I even got to Philharmonik. James Irelan
