Two possible causes for that behavior: If a different instrument track is selected in the tracks area (arrange window) than the one hosting the region which content you are editing in the piano roll editor. In the piano roll editor you might have accidently deselected the sound playback option? There's an icon up left in the piano roll window. > I also had trouble stopping the song at one stage, it was locked inside 2 > loop points and would not stop, no matter HOW hard I hit the space bar.. > and > I hit it VERY HARD after a while!

That's just your healthy daily slam of Murphy's Law. Shit like that happens with computers and the only way to deal with it is to save your work before every new step. If not using Logic 10+ of course, because from this version all your work is "sand-boxed", meaning that when a crash occurs you are given the option to load the lost work, from a temporary "fuck-you-murphy" buffer on the drive, when you boot up again. > Any Ideas? Have Apple put a timer on old versions? No. According to German law software companies have to keep up full support for at least five years, on obsolete products. > Note...

This computer has been running > Logic > fine for years... with this OS... So Ideas? Keep the setup that is working! Only amateurs upgrade "for the sake of running the current stuff". The don't know they are guinea pigs :-) But I think you could upgrade Logic to the current version. CPU load is lower, filters and compressors sound better and you get Alchemy 2! Alchemy is such an awesome synth/sampler. Very fast for coming up with cool sounds, especially in the morphing domain - you just wiggle a joystick around the remix pad and record that as automation; morphing continously/sliding between 8 different settings of all damn parameters in the synth. I remember when we were talking in Bill W's garden 5,5 years ago and you showed me that nice little PC music production software (Audio Much?) that could handle multiple tracks as nodes to morph between. Alchemy has that in the synth and now all those lovely expensive soundpacks that CamelAudio produced are part of Logic and comes for free as the default library. And they sound better and tax less CPU cycles too. Greetings from Sweden Per Boysen www.perboysen.com http://www.youtube.com/perboysen
