Re: Possible Ground Loop - help needed

2008-02-11 by Stu Grimshaw

if this only happens when logic is running, you might want to take a
closer look at the software routing. have you tried your old
template/autoload?

i had a midi-feedback loop once that was provided by (new) logic's own
autoload in combination with the rest of my setup. using my old
autoload solved it.
