I hope I'm posting this correctly. If not I apologize. Here goes:
Interesting phenomenon that I believe may be related to the new Logic Pro X version 10.2.1 update and the IF-FW/dm mkII.
I’ve got 4 discs connected to my early 2008 Mac Pro, each containing a progressively later version of OS X from Snow Leapord to El Capitan. I’ve been recording using LPX 10.2.1 since it came out with seemingly no problems. This afternoon I opened a project that I was working on about 2 months ago that started off in LPX 10.2.0. It’s a relatively complex project that uses the automation in the DM3200 and not too many plug-ins in LPX. When I started to play the tune I noticed that the drums were severely distorted. At first i thought that I had accidently left a gate on that was right on the edge of it’s threshold but then remembered that I had loaded the snapshot and automation files from the DM3200 CF card. I went through each track and checked anyway. All the gates were off. I increased the I/O Buffer size to see if that was the issue (although I had worked on this track with no problems so far)> It didn’t help.
Most of the tracks were recorded in Stereo except for the individual, close mic’d drum tracks which were recorded in mono and were the ones that were distorting. I had each drum assigned to a mono track in LPX which was then sent to a separate channel on the DM3200 so that each track followed a mono signal path straight through to the board. After about an hour of checking everything that i could think of, I reassigned the drum tracks to outputs 9/10 (a stereo output group) in Logic Pro X. Amazing! The tracks played normally. I then reassigned the tracks to their original, mono outputs and the distortion returned! BUT ONLY IN THE EVEN NUMBERED CHANNELS!. If I assigned a mono drum to channel 7 or 9 it sounded great but if I reassigned it to channel 8 or 10 it was severely distorted.
I then rebooted into Yosemite to see if the problem persisted. I experienced the same issue and then realized that I was also running LPX 10.2.1 in that system as well. So I rebooted into Mavericks which is running LPX 10.2.0 and everything worked normally. Very strange. Any thoughts?
