This makes me suspect my UPS even more. I'm going to bypass it tonight.

Just to get it right, are you saying that I SHOULD use TCP/IP if I 
use a UPS? And only use USB if I bypass the UPS?

The whole audio/midi sync seems to be the only problem I have with 
Logic. Basically Logic somehow loses internal sync between the two and 
the midi cuts out and after awhile, the audio stops playing.

This happened just before the lights went black and the LCedit lost 
communication with the LCX.

Right now I use a Cont "0" at the beginning of a set and use Cont 53 for 
cuelist followed by cont 86 for cue. Should I also place a Cont 0 value 
127 before each 53/86 cont? That would give me 3 cont commands for each 
cue.

That makes a lot of sense. I've saved with a blackout so that dimmers 
wouldn't come on when I power up. I'll change that tonjght.

Thanks
