Bring that bounced audio back into logic and you'll notice in the region info box that "Follow Tempo" is now an option. Check it and change song tempo as you like and the audio will follow.

There's a (possibly) happy twist to my story, after some rave reviews on various usergroups, I took a chance and bought Disk Warrior as a last ditch attempt to save my harddrive. Both Apple's Disk Utility and Drive Genius diagnosed the drive as so damaged that they couldn't even verify it, yet Disk Warrior managed to (apparently) repair it in 5 minutes. I suppose that problems may redevelop if I've only addressed the symptoms and not the cause, but for the time being, it looks ok. However, I'll use SuperDuper to make a bootable image, just for peace of mind! Anyway, my advice to anyone who thinks that their drive is irreparably damaged with serious directory structure problems is to take a chance on Disk Warrior. Thanks again, Paul -- Paul Zimmer ZAP!

Same here (well, ok, apart from the wellknown Logic quirks). Maybe the latest Macbook generation experiences a weaker hardware quality assurance? Perhaps due to being so popular? Regards Sascha

Thanks for the suggestions, but nothing is working over here. No matter what I do, the color that displays when I enable 'plain backgound' is the same as I set it many versions ago, 66% greyscale.

Why didn't you follow the Waves installer procedure? It will install them correctly. Which version of the Diamond Bundle are we talking about? Which type of Mac and which OS? Have you registered and authorized them in your waves account and on your ilok? regards Mark Cahill

But since I don't have an Intel machine anyway I had nothing to gain by it, so I'm just going to wait until v8 and hope they release a version that will run on this machine. (If not I may not upgrade immediately, as that would be the only reason I'd have to consider new hardware -- this machine works great for everything I do.)

Well i too used DW but I've never seen it fix a disc in 5 minutes. Anyway, drives have gotten so cheap that I wouldn't trust your for any important data. Why take the chance? JP

Hi all, I have two questions. One is I cannot reach EXS24 library. When I try to open and choose a preset, system starts to search all my harddisk and cannot open it. But I already installed it. So that is not logical. How can I relocate library or solve it? Second question is I wanna insrease the Sculture presets collection. Where can I buy? Or if anyone have free presets, can share? Thank you.

Why take > the chance? > JP Hi James, The reason that I'm tempted to give this (apparently) fixed drive a chance has nothing to do with the cost of a new drive, it's more to do with the multiple days that it would take to reinstall my entire system and get my audio apps up, running and reauthorised on a new harddrive. I'm assuming that - as long as I SuperDuper clone my main drive in it's current (working) state - if the drive goes down a second time then I can switch fairly painlessly to my backup drive? Maybe I'm being very reckless in continuing to use this drive though? - I'm open to persuasion. Thanks, Paul -- Paul Zimmer ZAP!

I watch the demos. I look for 2 things: good coverage of Logic's features and the instructors tone of voice. Some people's voices tend to put me to sleep, where they talk too soft and others fluctuate too much. I listened the these and found they met both my criteria. I think I might give it a shot. Thanks Anyone else with opinions on any Logic tutorials?

Check on your ESX24 preferences so you have the correct disc selected as where to look for samples. You reach that menu by opening the EXS24 graphic interface and click at "otions" at the upper right. There you chose "Preferences..." In the box labeled "Search samples on:" there is a drop-down where you tell the sampler where to look for samples.

But, I discovered that if you are not running at extreme load this message appears only the FIRST time I hit play. After this you hit play again and the machine runs OK then. Seems to me that this is due to how the OSX's core audio system works: when it encounters some CPU spike it reserves some buffers or whatsoever according to the required power. After this evrything goes fine. best maxim

Here I have several different versions intalled in different computers and everything works OK. Maybe you should Upgrade or reinstall. But try again : Logic Preferences panel-> Display-> Arrange tab-> Click on the center of the color retangle-> Close the preferences panel -> On the arrange window local menus --- View -> Plain Background (selecting this item will make it checked). Try reinstalling 7.1.1 (if it doesn't work) If it won't really work maybe you should upgrade to 7.2.3. Good Luck Pita Araujo pita_araujo@yahoo.com.br

I can understand this totallly but I would look at this from the same angle but perhaps opposite side. The reason to spend a day or two is to get it right the first time. If something gets wrong you might spend weeks if not months trying to figure out why everything almost works but not quite.

Hi, As someone who does this kind of restore for a living (if you can call it that...) it may not be as complex as you think. You could CLONE your data to a new drive (best to do this from an OS X cd with drives attached to your CPU) . And then replace your old drive. Since various software attribute thier "authorization" to a CPU or via iLock and other keys..it might not be as tedious as you think. When I did a similar thing last month to my own system-cloning worked best because it kept stuff in the System Application Support folder. A system reinstall will not neccessarily put this stuff back (it will be in the Previous Systems Folder- I ALWAYS do archive and reinstall unless there are disk space issues) The Clone -however might take a long time...depending on how much data you have on your drives... For the record my Wave Arts Plug-Ins did need the Machine authorization, but i didn't need anything other than the orginal return email for that... and it's all worked fine. Some stuff (like Philharmonik) just needed to be pointed to the correct directory. Obviously this can be a PITA but better than losing your work to disk damage... best benj

I often switch between DAE/ TDM and Core audio. Recently there seems to be an anomaly in Core. When I play back in record enable I can hear myself over the play-back as if audio input monitoring were turned off, which It isn't. Everything works fine in DAE/ TDM. No problem there. I have also lost the use of my pedal control in Guitar Rig2. Logic sees the controler it changes numbers with each pre-set change but no pedal, which by the way works fine in stand alone. I recently upgraded Ivory and installed East West Ministry of Rock. I don't think anything else has changed. But there has been a few instances of pilot error in the past. Hope someone can help.

Hello to all! I struggle in understanding how the I/O plugin works ....
