These include giving the user the option to completely opt out of installing apple loops, apple instruments, etc and just using the plugins the customer owns, so just using Logic Pro X as the host and now a bulked up system, that'd save over 60gb storage space, etc. As always, Logic Pro X doesn't require hardware or software copy protection; as long as you're logged into the Apple Store with your account, you can download, install, and run it seamlessly. Before purchasing a MacBook, i knew all i was going to use it for was a portable DAW for Logic Pro x, i was largly debting between the pro and the air, after 1 week i am glad to report that the macbook air i purchased is fully capable of running Logic Pro x, with many tracks, and the battery life is great. Logic is like the lungs ofmy studio, allowing everything to breath no matter where i am. Logic Pro - Apple. Ridiculously powerful. Seriously creative. Create and improvise in a whole new way with Live Loops. Control music-making sessions from your iPad or iPhone with Logic Remote. Transform sounds into instruments with Sampler and Quick Sampler. Quickly build drum beats and melodic patterns with Step Sequencer.

Try these steps in order

After trying each step below, test Logic Pro again to see if you've fixed your issue.

Update Logic Pro

Before purchasing a MacBook, i knew all i was going to use it for was a portable DAW for Logic Pro x, i was largly debting between the pro and the air, after 1 week i am glad to report that the macbook air i purchased is fully capable of running Logic Pro x, with many tracks, and the battery life is great.

Choose Apple menu  > App Store, then click Updates in the toolbar. If a Logic Pro update is available, click the Update button to download and install it.

Check device or software compatibility

If you're using an external audio interface, MIDI interface, storage system, control surface, or plug-in not made by Apple, make sure that it’s compatible with the latest version of Logic Pro. Contact the manufacturer for support. If an update is available, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to update the device or software.

Use built-in audio with Logic Pro

If you’re using an external audio interface, try using the built-in audio on your Mac instead of the interface.

1. Unplug your external audio interface from your Mac.
2. Open Logic Pro, then choose Logic Pro > Preferences > Audio/MIDI > Devices.
3. Choose Built-In Output from the Output Device pop-up menu.
4. Choose Built-in Microphone (or Built-in Input, depending on your computer) from the Input Device pop-up menu.
5. Open and play back a project that's been experiencing issues.

If the project opens and plays back properly, you might need to update or service your audio interface. Contact the manufacturer for support.

If you aren’t using an external audio interface, try bypassing third-party Audio Units plug-ins.

Open Logic Pro without audio input and output

1. Open Logic Pro and immediately press and hold the Control key before a project opens.
2. In the alert, click Don’t Launch.

If Logic Pro opens, you might need to update or service your external audio interface. Contact the manufacturer for support. It can also mean a third-party Audio Units plug-in might be damaged, or it might not be compatible with your version of Logic Pro. You can try bypassing plug-ins to troubleshoot your issue.

Bypass third-party Audio Units plug-ins

If you’re using Audio Units plug-ins, try bypassing or removing them.

Test with a new project

You can create a new project and test to check if the issue is with your project or Logic Pro app.

1. If Logic Pro is open, quit the app.
2. Open Logic Pro and create a new empty project.
3. Add Apple Loops to the new project.
4. Try to recreate the issue you were having. For example, if the project you're having an issue with uses a particular third-party plug-in, add it to the test project. If the problem reappears, the plug-in might be damaged or might need to be updated.

Test Logic Pro with a new user account

Create another user account on your Mac, then try to recreate the issue in the new user account. If the issue doesn't occur in the new user account, settings or files in the original account might be causing the issue.
