I've struck a rather odd, very occasional, and as yet, inexplicable occurrence of creating what could be best decsribed as 'phantom' tracks whilst multi-tracking audio in Logic Pro.

It's only happened twice and I seem unable to recreate the problem!

The problem occurs when multi-tracking between 6 and 24 tracks. What happens is that in the arrange page some of the tracks do not create regions, even though their meters are showing activity and even though these tracks are actually recording audio to hard disk.

After Logic has built the audio waveforms, the regions are still non-existent, but on playback these non-existent regions playback as normal even though you can't see them (we're talking non-existent not 'flat-line' low levels).

Clearly this makes editing something of a problem! The work around I have used is to create new tracks, import the regions from audio window, send to original record position and then to delete the original tracks altogether.

By the way I'm not using folders, in case that's a potential issue here.

Anyone else struck this? Almost seems like a bug.....

Using Logic Pro 7.1.0/OS 10.4.6/G4 800MHz/MOTU 8pre/Cuemix 1.4

Thanks

Got this occasionally on bigger sessions (24+ tracks), but not for ages. Used to say 'Out Of Memory' instead of drawing the waveform. Turned down the screen resolution to 'thousands' instead of 'millions of colours' / the studio got a faster computer. Hasn't happened since.

Thanks Legitmik

Sounds like the old girl (the G4 that is) is struggling.
