Logic Pro Not Able to Make New Projects from Template and other issues

I'm having a strange issue that I can't find any sign of anyone else having online. It seems to be coming in and out and I can't figure out what's causing it.


I can open pre-existing Logic sessions and they work normally and totally fine, but if I try to make a new session, it won't load any plugins, won't let me change what track I'm on, and won't do anything when I hit play (sometimes it'll scroll a few bars but not play any audio). Sometimes this will randomly start all working fine again if I just close and reopen Logic a few times, which is odd.


When I open Logic there's no longer the usual startup screen that lets me open recent sessions or templates. Also, and currently most annoyingly, if I try to start a new session from a template (like I am now trying to start a new mix) it'll not open any kind of finder window or anything and just act as though I haven't asked it to do anything.


So far I've tried rescanning all my plugins and doing a full reinstall of Logic and neither has solved the issue. All the issues came about all at once which is why I think they're related, but it could just be poor timing.

Running on a Mac Mini M4 with the latest MacOS.

I have never heard of this strange behavior. But sometimes there is a ghost in the machine. The first thing I do is restart the computer. I've never reinstalled the logic because of an error.


Are you able to create a new project not from a template?

Can you save a project as a template?

Can you then create a new project from this template?

User templates are stored here ~/Music/Audio Music Apps/Project Templates/


Check also your settings at start up: Logic pro > settings > general > Project handling > start up action

BTW, I always select " do nothing", to never automatically load a corrupted project, but that's your choice.
