Stupid behaviour with loops in L8
      #634304 - 07/07/08 02:06 AM
When I drag a looped MIDI region to an earlier position in a track with other regions, Logic kills any regions following the looped region's new position. Wiped, dead, gone.

It never used to do this. Now I have to unloop the region before copying, copy to new position, make it loop, then return to the original region and make it loop again.

Four jobs - when it used to be just one. Doh!

Is this a bug or a new 'feature'?

Hi Sounds like a bug to me. Have you tried Deleting the undo history. This sometimes cause's me problems on large projects as it seems to run out of RAM (even though it should not) and can 'eat' MIDI regions at will

--------------------
Mac Pro, Logic Pro, lots of software and 17 hard drives!

Tried that... made no difference.

Is it just me or does anyone else have this problem? Please give it a test and tell me (any 'damage' is easy to undo).

Just tried it here quickly. No problems here. The looped region, dragged to before an earlier region, goes to the correct place, and the loop continues until the next region is encountered. No regions are killed.

Try it in a fresh song (Option-click on File -> New) to rule out any song corruption...

Yeah, you're right. It's all fine in a new song. This current one must be a bit dodge. Everything else seems OK though...
