Won't catch me riding dirty....

SO! It's been a while since I posted. And I guess as part of some new years resolution I said I'd make an effort to submit some blog posts. It just so happens I've come across a great solution for Logic Pro 9 users who have experienced the "spinning beach ball of death" one too many times.....

So I'd heard about this before, but in all honesty I've not had to use or panic to try and find it as Logic has been pretty stable for about the last year or so on my machine. I've had the occasional crashed project. But nothing like a few years ago where some projects would end up being called "Idea 1 (crashed) (crashed) (crashed) (crashed) (crashed).logic"
Anyway, I digress.
What this is and what it is useful for is when you're performing a task in Logic and you're greeted with the spinning beach ball of doom. Usually your only solution to this is 'force quit' the application and just hope your CMD+S habit has saved you only a small bit of work to recover manually.
I'm not going to bother to try and explain the technicalities behind it, it's best to just watch the video as the guy walks you through pretty well. But essentially from what I understand is that you force logic to crash and therefore save a (crashed) version of the project at the hang up point.
I tried this out today as it finally happened to me and it worked a charm. He says it will work about every 9/10 times. But I'm fine with those odds!
