Based on the provided crash report, it appears that Logic Pro X is crashing while playing a specific project. The crash is related to a bus error (SIGBUS) at a specific memory address.

Here are some key details from the report:

  • Process: Logic Pro X
  • Version: 10.7.2
  • Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
  • Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE
  • Crashed Thread: 0 (main thread)

Unfortunately, the crash report does not provide specific information about the cause of the crash. However, it seems to be related to an effect rack or audio unit processing. The crash occurs at a memory address that is not accessible, which could indicate a memory issue or a problem with a specific audio effect.

To troubleshoot and resolve the issue, you can try the following steps:

  1. Update Logic Pro X: Make sure you have the latest version of Logic Pro X installed. Check for any available updates in the Mac App Store.

  2. Disable third-party plugins: If you are using any third-party plugins or audio effects in your project, try removing or disabling them temporarily to see if the crash still occurs. Faulty or incompatible plugins can sometimes cause crashes in audio applications.

  3. Reset Logic Pro X preferences: Corrupted preferences can also cause crashes. Resetting Logic Pro X preferences to their default settings may help resolve the issue. To do this, quit Logic Pro X, then hold down the Option key and click on the Logic Pro X icon to open the Preferences dialog. Choose "Reset All Preferences" and restart Logic Pro X.

  4. Test with a new project: Create a new project in Logic Pro X and test if the crash occurs. If the crash only happens with a specific project, there may be an issue with that particular project file. You can try creating a new project and importing the tracks or settings from the problematic project.

  5. Contact Apple Support: If the issue persists and you are unable to resolve it, it's recommended to contact Apple Support for further assistance. They can provide more specific guidance based on the crash report and help troubleshoot the problem.

Note: It's always a good idea to regularly save your work and backup important files to prevent data loss in case of crashes or other issues.
