One thing to keep in mind with Reaktor is that it is a hog on the processor. Also if you have a number of tracks assigned to different Reaktor instruments, even if you aren't recording anything, they are eating up processor power. So 2 things to fix this. Only have a Reaktor instrument selected in a track when you are going to use it. (muting in the arrange window for the other tracks will help or just don't assign anything till you are actually going to use it.) once you have a performance you like, freeze that track. Then you won't be using processing power on that Reaktor instrument. If you need to make adjustments, unfreeze, make changes, then freeze it again. this should help. Bob Boilen

First, in a MIDI/Audio type sequencer all MIDI data depends on the audio drivers/audio clock for timing sync, this is how the system as a whole manages to keep everything locked together. Anything that disrupts the audio engine enough to cause sync to be lost (between MIDI and audio) and the infamous "Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI" message will pop up. This can be anything from processor overloads, to weak MIDI/Audio drivers, to background processes (ie: Firewire).... and probably a long list of other causes as well. Doesn't matter if the project has neither audio or MIDI tracks. I guess there are different methods of dealing with this, Logic chooses to display the error message that many of us have seen. btw, that message has been in Logic since at least version 3.5. Bob, were you on GEnie ages ago? Greetings... Howard
