Re: GLM 1.4.3 Software NOT working in OSX Mavericks (10.9)
Youngling Viestejä: 12 Liittymispäivä: 21.12.2010 Viimeisimmät viestitI'm not sure whether you are aware of how easy you can switch back to Mountain Lion with a Time-Machine-Backup. I did it yesterday and all trouble has come to an end. I can strongly recommend it, since there seem to be other issues with 3rd party plugins in Logic 9 as well (I had higher-than-average crashes throughout the last couple of days). GLM working again smoothly

Just hold down Command-R while starting up the computer and choose the last Time Machine Backup that was made with 10.8 (the OS version is indicated next to the dates of the backup, so really easy to figure out). Then you can either restore the system on a spare HDD (which I did for safety reasons) and later change the HDD or restore it directly on the current system HDD. Took me about 3 hours waiting for a 500 GB system HDD and that was it.
Make sure you safe all data created since the update to Mavericks if it is on you system HDD, otherwise it will be lost.
Well... next time I will think twice about updating the OS before checking compatibility with the software I am depending on...

Re: GLM 1.4.3 Software NOT working in OSX Mavericks (10.9)
Yoda Viestejä: 2564 Liittymispäivä: 23.3.2009 Viimeisimmät viestitYou absolutely right, but i have no time for restoring my system.. then i hope the guys there at Genelec will fix the situation a.s.a.p.. that's a real unprofessional situation.
Technically speaking it's not a problem in the GLM software. It's about the new App Nap feature in the OS X which puts applications and USB connections to sleep mode if they are hidden or inactive.

Youngling Viestejä: 1 Liittymispäivä: 8.11.2013 Viimeisimmät viestitAudio still passes, and the Powermate still controls volume/muting as normal, but the GLM screen is frozen, without any visual change with input from the Powermate. Force quitting and re-launching GLM resets everything.
Anyone else experiencing similar?

Hi,
Can you describe when/how the system freezes? Is it exactly same as with DCDC?

Re: GLM 1.4.3 Software NOT working in OSX Mavericks (10.9)
Youngling Viestejä: 7 Liittymispäivä: 24.6.2009 Viimeisimmät viestitFor the record: My setup is a 27" iMac i7 (late 2012) running OS X 10.9.1. The speaker setup consists of 2 x 8240a and 1 x 7260a with a GLM interface. The GLM software version is 1.4.3. I have been using a Griffin PowerMate before, but have disconnected it completely and uninstalled the software for it. Uninstalling the PowerMate didn't affect the problem at all. Disabling AppNap didn't help either.
My audio i/o is a Universal Audio Apollo 16 with Thunderbolt connection. The Apollo continues to work perfectly on it's own after GLM hangs, feeding the audio to my headphone amp through a direct connection. I occasionally need to run Windows 8 under BootCamp and have the Windows version of GLM installed for that purpose. I have never experienced any problems with GLM on that side of the fence.
GLM hangs very quickly for me. Ususally within a minute or so after I've launched it.
If I store the GLM settings to speaker and then quit the GLM app right away, the speakers function as expected. In this case the UA Apollo hardware does provide me with basic level and mute functions, but I lose all ability to control levels at the speaker end, as well as bass management, dimming, channel selection etc etc.
If I store the settings to the speakers but leave GLM running in the background, the speakers go silent when GLM hangs.
This problem emerged right away after updating to Mavericks. I did have another problem with GLM and PowerMate already under 10.8. (see my other, still unanswered thread "PowerMate muting speakers, changing GLM settings by itself" for more on this issue) but this new problem under Mavericks is a far more serious issue from a real-world workflow point of view.
I can't stress enough that this issue is much more than just a minor annoyance. From a workflow point of view it is highly disruptive. It creates real embarrasment for all parties when working within a professional context that regularly involves, for example, client presentations and similar "live" situations. Failure in these sorts of circumstances can, in a worst case scenario, create very real negative impact from a business point of view. We are, after all, discussing a high-end professional system here - an investment of thousands of euros suddenly failing in its core functionality: to reliably reproduce (and control) audio.
It goes without saying that the current state of affairs - if left unremedied - has a real potential of corroding the professional image and quality reputation of Genelec. It really needs to be fixed promptly. The first posts in this thread are from October 2013. Now it's January 2014 and I'm still being forced to jump through hoops and make basic compromises in my workflow each and every day. Judging from the other posts, I'm probably not alone in having to do this.
I would be happy to provide Genelec with my GLM hang reports from Apple's Console application, if that helps in any way?
My apologies for the long rant. I'm just starting to run out of patience here – a little bit. I do have faith in you taking this issue seriously. And I'm confident that I will get a fix for this very soon – because I know that's how you do things over there in Iisalmi.
Respectfully,
BAG

Hi Baguette,
It would be very useful if you could send GLM hang reports for our analysis. Please forward them to my inbox here on the forum.
Thank you!

Re: GLM 1.4.3 Software NOT working in OSX Mavericks (10.9)
Yoda Viestejä: 2564 Liittymispäivä: 23.3.2009 Viimeisimmät viestitSame freezing issues as well hear i can still control volume via griffin even if application is frozen and unresponsive. Another problem i've been having on occasion is that GLM jumps to full volume even though the fader appears in the same position, decibel range i run AES professional and have my sound card at a high gain and this is very painful for the ears.
Any help would be appreciated.

I am sorry to hear about the problems. Please provide crash reports to my inbox here, thank you!

Re: GLM 1.4.3 Software NOT working in OSX Mavericks (10.9)
Padawan Viestejä: 43 Liittymispäivä: 10.2.2014 Viimeisimmät viestitI've also having problems with freezes during Mavericks. I just got my 8240.
I also had a situation where GLM lagged when raising the audio with a shortcut raising the audio… it got a tad loud there before snatching a usb cable pronto.
Overall I have to say I love my 8240 because of the audio quality… Would I buy them again? Probably… But the GLM and GLM_Autolink software really feels like is was made 4-5 years ago… The software is the only thing that would make me consider not buying them, and I really mean it. E.g. GLM Autolink is so full of bugs it's a joke. Sure you CAN make it works, just not very good and it isn't exactly fun using it… Software should be easy, fun and functional.
This was just me giving you my honest opinion. When it comes to software I am used to much higher standards nowadays, even from professional applications (not a joke).
But great hardware! Been using Genelec for many years, maybe should have stayed analog.
Best regards,
Martin

Re: GLM 1.4.3 Software NOT working in OSX Mavericks (10.9)
Yoda Viestejä: 2564 Liittymispäivä: 23.3.2009 Viimeisimmät viestitThere is a known compatibility issue with the GLM, OS X Mavericks and Griffin Powermate. We recommend not to use the Powermate until an update has been provided. It is very unfortunate but we'll do our very best to solve this issue.

GLM on OSX is a piece of shit!
Padawan Viestejä: 99 Liittymispäivä: 18.6.2011 Viimeisimmät viestitIsn't it a paradox to find this discussion under the label Professional Monitoring????
There is absolutely nothing professional about GLM.
I love my Genelecs to death but the GLM on OSX is simply a piece of shit!
Sorry, but we all know it is the truth.
Basic functionality is fine but very limited.
Implementation / programming / dependability has been a pain in the ass for al long as I have had Genelecs.
Please tell your bosses that we have had enough.
It's time the GLM system lives up the quality (and price tag) of the equipment.

Padawan Viestejä: 99 Liittymispäivä: 18.6.2011 Viimeisimmät viestitPlease ask your CEO to allow us a fair trade-in for GLM 2.0 upgrades.
We have been more than patient with years of problems with GLM 1.X Mac.
Just give us a fair deal.
Thanks in advance

Re: GLM 1.4.3 Software NOT working in OSX Mavericks (10.9)
Youngling Viestejä: 2 Liittymispäivä: 12.5.2010 Viimeisimmät viestitThe workaround I accidentally found was opening GLM SE, then shutting it down. That way GLM SE doesn't shut off the monitors.
Now there's the GLM 2.0 software that's supposed to work.You need to upgrade the interface to the new one in order to make it work. If it does it's a bit of a no-brainer for me.
Love the Griffin Powermate. It seems you can't have it control the volume of the UAD Apollo interfaces which is a crying shame. If someone found a way please share:-)

Yoda Viestejä: 2564 Liittymispäivä: 23.3.2009 Viimeisimmät viestitI've had issues with the GLM SE in general on Mavericks.
Hi,
GLM.SE software has known issues with OS X Mavericks. You should update to GLM 2.0 (please see our trade-in program) for continued support.
