![]() ![]() So we returned to my account and.Ģ) We removed the preferences settings file from the library (returning it to default). So he said there was something set improperly in preferences in my account. So I called Apple today and here's the steps we took that fixed it.ġ) The guy had me create another account with admin privileges. ![]() I searched online for about 3 hours last night, reading every thread I could along the way. The internal mic on my macbook actually worked properly, but that's no real solution for live performing. I could loop software instruments normally, but anything coming from my audio interface (focusrite scarlet) would clear out the moment loopback returned to origin. ![]() I tried a ton of different setups with different send options. So, in the meantime, if any of you read this and have weird bugs you've noticed in Mainstage, I have a channel of communication back to the guys who can fix it, so I'll check this thread from time to time and relay things to their tech support department for all our benefits! He reassured me that these would be addressed in the next Mainstage update.ĭuring the process of looking at my computer from his, he saw my set up in Mainstage and commented that what I was doing was pretty sophisticated (if I do say so myself), so he asked me to keep in contact with him in future about other bugs I find, saying he considered me an advanced user. They had no idea Loopback won't do as it's told! Among the things I showed him were the wiping of audio after the first loop cycling into the second, refusal to acknowledge time signature in Loopback, and the strange intermittency of these bugs. He wrote a report and sent it off to the engineering department. Long story short, he remotely connected with my Macbook, watched me reproduce the Loopback bug, went off to do it himself, and concluded Loopback has bugs. I was passed from person to person at Apple, until somehow, to my utter surprise, I found myself talking to a member of a very small team who represent the pro audio app tech support department! The guy literally has lunch with the engineers who fix Logic and Mainstage bugs. Well, Pepioca, believe it or not I did my best impression of Andy Dufresne and called Apple, not expecting whoever answered the phone to know what the **** I was talking about. I think I may do a Shawshank, and send a complaint every single day for a month!ĭid you find any sort of solution yourself? I've written to them twice now, and no joy. I've seen it complained about in a few different places. It does not bode well that you wrote this problem up in December of last year, and they STILL haven't fixed it. But now I am trying to have a one bar vocal motive that I keep stacking with harmonies on each pass, and I simply can't stop it recording then start it again because there isn't enough time in one bar, not to mention it would chop the end off abruptly before starting the loop again. With a couple of the songs, I record a backing part right up front, then stop it recording, leave it playing, then hit a record mapped midi switch later to overdub a second vocal, in harmony to the first. My whole set depends on these overdubs for vocal harmony parts. ![]() and THEN, if I just bloody mindedly keep attempting overdubs, SUDDENLY recording certain passes, and not certain others!!! AAAAAHHH!!!!! The unbelievable frustration. Then I tried the technique for a new song I'm working on, and bugger me if it's not clearing the first pass of vocals I record, and then doing the same on the next. it worked for a couple of songs I have put together. I thought I had fixed it with audio channels by having the output buss to a patch bus, and then running a Loopback instance on that. They work perfectly on instrument channels, every time. It only happens when using Loopback on audio channels. ![]()
