logic bounce problems

[Grubby Gnome]

i've wasted about 2 hours of my day trying to get a clean bouncedown from logic - it adds fx tails (mostly reverb tails) randomly before the start of regions like its glitching or something and its incredibly frustrating. i pretty much had to bounce in place most of the individual tracks and chop out the stupid sounds. i havent swore at a computer quite as much as i did today.

ive had this problem before but never as much as i have on this occasion... its annoying after spending hours mixing that you can't just press bounce and send it on its merry journey to your desired file format.

anyone know how to solve this??

anyone got any ideas?

I have a similar problem in logic, might be what you're describing. Every now and then it seems to play one hit of all my sounds right at the start of the bounce....very odd

yeah usually does it at the start too, its the reverb tails from what was last played, but if you play a few empty bars before the bounce it solves that one. summet to do with emptying the buffer apparently.

but sometimes it plays it halfway through a tune before the start of a region, and this seems pretty random which is annoying!

what seems to be the problem?, where is it glitching?, and if things dont sound right when u bounce it to mp3, then you might be doing something wrong

I have this problem. Not sure why it happens, but all you do is just skip to the end of your track, keep playing until no sound it audible (no reverb etc...) then bounce. You wont get this problem.

If it persists, then use the -(minus) starting time bar by about 1 bar or so so that these hits dont effect the intro etc...

I've had this happen too. You can avoid it by going into the mixer, right click the main output and choose 'Select/Create Arrange Track' then automating fade ins/outs there. That's really the only solution I've come up with.

It's hard to make guesses without seeing it, are you using the built in logic reverbs that are doing this? I've had similar stuff happen w/ random feedback at parts but only with distortion effects which do that kinda shit... could possibly be happening if you have reverb chained after something like that? I normally just kill the volume for that track where that's happening. Can you do that for the problem parts?

similar issues here with delays and reverbs,

to get rid of the problem (empty the buffer) just keep allowing the tune to play in an area without these effects until non-exsistent and then mixdown ( generally i put a few beats of a bar before to the track start and keep stop starting around there, until it disappears). This is a very odd solution but the only way i've seen round the problem.

never had this, but i seen ppl with this problem b4 and if i remember right the cause was usually that their arrangement started before 00:00. might b worht checkign if thats the problem in all yr cases (have u got one bar before the "start"? if so shift the whole arrangement forward)

[setspeed]

yeah i used to get this a lot, especially with very short samples which would then have delay or reverb on them. The way around that one is to bounce a few bars of silence and then add it onto that track before and after the sample in question (put the sample 'on top' of the silence region) - usually helps

this was mainly a problem in Logic 5.5 but i still get it very occasionally in Logic 8...
