Crash : Setting an AUX from Stereo to Surround with Logic 9.1.1 + VE PRO SERVER 64 BIT (Last bu...

[Cyril Blanc]

Hello 

I have a good one for you this morning [:'(]

I change an VSL AUX in Logic from "stereo" to "surround" I get a very loud noise, my amplifier trip ( crack up???) and Logic is crashing[:(]

If I do the same with VE PRO server not started there is no problem[:)]

Good luck for fixing it

P.S. forgive me I have forgot  to say hello to you in message

Cyril,

I just replied to your support ticket.

this is not a crash of our software. It is some compressor plugin that crashes in its process method:

com.apple.music.apps.MADSP        0x0000000101f003fd CMBCompressor::OnProcess(TProcessInfo*) + 205


Thanks,

Hi Martin

I know that it is not VSL that crashed, but VSL made Logic crash as Logic is not crashing if VSL server is not running

Looks like you have to talk with the Logic people to see the interaction between Logic and VSL Pro server

The crash you showed me, clearly shows this compressor plugin process crashing, I don't see how that could be VSL related. Probably it is because of that plugin not updating its internal channels / buffers correctly when the new setting is made.

Hi Martin

Are you going to talk to Logic people ?

Hi again

can you reproduce it ?

Can you reproduce this without any plugin inserted on the AUX return?

Hi Martin

Thanks for your mail.

I did some test this morning.

You had a very good evaluation, it is the Compressor plug-ins that is causing trouble

I remove the Compressor and EQ and change AUX from stereo to surround ; Logic DID NOT crash !!!! hourra !!!!

Then I have tried an AUX  that had only an  EQ ---> there is no problem

Do you have contact with Logic people to report the problem ?

Can you also help me on the  two following questions :

1) What should I do with the panning with a 5.1 recording ?

• Do I leave a full left to right stereo in the viframe and I set the 5.1 panning on the AUX in Logic ?
• Do I place the instrument in the viframe and I set the 5.1 panning on the AUX in Logic ?
• Do I ??????

2) What should I do with the panning with a stereo recording ?

• Do I leave a full left to right stereo in the viframe and I set the stereo panning on the AUX in Logic ?
• Do I place the instrument in the viframe and I set  full left to right stereo panning on the AUX in Logic ?
• Do I ??????

Thanks again

Most orchestral music tend to be placed in L/R channels, so usually you'd just powerpan it normally. If you have any specific panning needs (solo instrument in center channel, some esoteric choir in the Ls/Rs) you'd pan those in Logic.
