Logic Pro 12.4 bounced out empty or sometimes a few seconds of wave and mp3 file.

My Logic Pro 12.4 project bounced out empty wave and mp3 file or sometimes only a few seconds of my song was audible and become suddenly silenced throughout my song's duration. I can playback just fine without any dropout occurance too. What's wrong?

  • Waves Ultimate subscriptions package.
  • Clairvoyant Amp Suite from Modern Music Solution.

Tried that, ticked both uncompress and mp3 but no luck. Now, last night I've got lucky by ticked only mp3 and the bounce works!!! Thank you for your suggestion anyway.

I just bounce to mp3 only

Enable bouncing to an uncompressed format (aif/wav) as well.

Thank you for your replie. I have found something weirder just now though. I just bounce to mp3 only but it works for the first time, the next tried I've got empty file instead. Don't know where to get help anymore, I already love how my mix sounds currently.

I have no idea, what is causing your issue. However, dropouts are often related to plugins running in trial mode, not properly authorized or incompatible plugins.
