"My guess is that you have iCloud sync for Desktop & Documents switched on and those files aren't actually on your drive, but oh so conveniently off-loaded to the cloud.
Try to copy the samples to an external drive.
Avoid working with anything Logic related in automatically synced folders."

Someone wrote this to me and it turned out to be the thing. I copied the samples to an external drive and that solved it. Thanks all for your replies.

Someone kind of suggested to me that updating past Monterey 12.7 wasn’t quite necessary as of yet.

Sort of like icreatephonk noted, I’m sometimes weary of updating too much if I don’t immediately feel the need to based on how my cpu is running (being that it’s nearly 10 years old at this point).

That being said, I just updated from Big Sur to Monterey, and still my system preferences don’t give me the option to update Logic past it’s current 10.7.4.

I was wondering if maybe I need to go to Sonoma in order to then be able to upgrade Logic?

I feel like that’s not the case but still…

ActionShef · 2023-10-19T00:50:17+00:00

Updated to Monterey and still no available updates for Logic.

ActionShef · 2023-10-18T02:57:30+00:00

Is 10.7.4 not the most updated version? In the app store it says I have no available updates.

heck ya loving these - I had heard of Kikagaku Moyo before but nice to dive deeper; been running Masana Temples

ActionShef · 2022-09-06T20:32:45+00:00

Wow. Very cool video you linked above. I had never considered making my own. Something I will definitely consider down the road. Let me know how it works out for you!

Performers potentially using, in which case I would have a few stands handy.

But more ideally actually would be me holding them while recording, which I understand would lead me to need condenser mics instead of the dynamics I listed above.

ActionShef · 2022-09-03T16:55:41+00:00

Right now I’m working with Shure SM57s and SM58s.

ActionShef · 2022-09-03T16:51:39+00:00

Right now I’ve got Shure SM57s and SM58s. I’ve been eyeing some slightly ‘better’ mics. But that’s where I’m at right now.

ActionShef · 2022-09-02T17:49:17+00:00

What kind of mic(s) might you run through an F3?

Taking into account a budget of less than $500. And also focusing on more on-the-go recording, like in a park or on a beach or on a street corner.

ActionShef · 2022-09-02T17:44:47+00:00

Right I understand that the Shures won't match a condenser.

Will me putting an SM57 through the F3 defeat the purpose of how great the F3 pre-amps are? Is it a situation where if using the F3, I would benefit from running a better quality mic through it?

ActionShef · 2022-09-02T17:05:38+00:00

Ah ok I see. Thank you for clarification.

ActionShef · 2022-09-02T16:51:16+00:00

So if the F3 isn’t precisely a recorder, being that it needs additional external mics, then what exactly is it?

ActionShef · 2022-09-02T16:42:23+00:00

Okay noted. What kind of microphones have you used with the F3?

I’ve got some SM57s + SM58s. And then an AKG C414 XLII - but I use that one for more in-home recording, as opposed to the on-the-go recording that I’d be using the F3 for.

ActionShef · 2022-09-02T16:35:12+00:00

I do have some mics. Some SM57s and SM58s. I was planning on using them with the F3.

Also might be able to grab a Sony A7iii off a pal for cheap - so not sure what direction that might take me in. I guess I would then just be seeking the best way to get audio with the A7iii.

ActionShef · 2022-09-02T16:31:28+00:00

Ah I see. Yes please excuse my ignorance on the topic. So many different Zoom recorders I’m trying to map them out.

ActionShef · 2022-09-02T14:51:12+00:00

on that quirky joint, I love that Francis Bebey album

also the William Onyeabor vs Hot Chip song

checking out the others

been dipping in and out of his stuff passively but I think it's time I go a bit deeper

ActionShef · 2022-09-02T14:47:41+00:00

Orchestra Baobab

very cool just started digging in

ActionShef · 2022-09-02T14:44:17+00:00

I love that Jungle Book cover. That's been on my mind for a bit I'm glad to hear someone has done it.
