    Christian et all

    I was working on a project earlier today and was changing the VI instance I wanted to work on. When I tried to open this up, the area of the VI window that shows the patches was blank. I saved the file and after this operation my system stopped responding and the the beachball came up. I forced quit out of Logic after this.

    When I tried to open the file again it would not load and logic would not respond. I tried opening the VI on a new logic file and this worked. I then tried to open the file I had been working before it crashed and had no joy in trying to open the file I was working on. I tried repeating opening the VI in a new logic song but this failed to open as well. I have tried the VI in stand alone mode and this works.

    I think I may have loaded too many samples in the project and this is why the VI's crashed initially.

    My system is as follows:

    Mac G5 Quad
    2 x 400GB Seagate HD's
    1 x 500GB Glyph external HD
    Logic 7.2.3
    Motu 828 mkII

    My VI's are spread over one of the internal HD's and the external HD.

    I check to see if there was any problem with my licences and they seem to be ok.

    Can any one suggest a way to fix this problem.

    Regards

    The VI instance that was the start of the problem contained the Vienna Horn. I have unloaded all the Horn folders out of the directory nanager and then tried starting using VI in a new logic song. The VI opened. I then loaded back all the French horns folders back into the directory manager and then opened a new logic song and the VI opened.

    I then tried to open the file that crashed and it would not open. This file is probably corrupted in some way.

    Any ideas on how I might be able to continue working on this file, otherwise I will have lost about two months work. (The logic backup file does not open either).

    mirabile, the licenses on your key look fine (as far as related to their active status) ... because you mentioned *the patch window was empty*: have you already tried to remove and re-assign the location of sample data in the directory manager?
    preferred method would be drag&drop and i'd recommend a reboot after doing so.
    make sure your energy saving settings don't have *allow disks to sleep* checked.

    ok, so our postings crossed ... regarding logic *emergency* tips you can find someone more competent - tried to import the song?

    Thanks for your reply. I have unloaded all the the VI sounds out of the directory and opened up a logic song and the VI successfully. (Also loaded them back to the directory and no problems opening the VI's) I tried this with the file that crashed yesterday and the black and white beachball appears very soon after I try and load the file. I do not get a message that the licences are being scanned as when i opened VI's with other logic songs. Is there any way around this problem?

    Hi Mirabile,

    I sent you a PM. Do you have only one backup of your Logic file? Or are there previous versions that you can still open?

    Best,

    Hey Mirabile,

    I was able to repair your Logicsong and could open it again. It contained 22 Altiverb and 17 (or so) Vienna Instruments instances. I assume that was simply too much for a Quad. I´ll send you the files via e-mail.

    Please let me know if it works on your machine too.

    Best,

    Thank you very much for fixing the problem. I will try your solution later today when I get back to my own computer. I let you know by personal email the results.
