All playback/output dropping out.

I'm using an M-Audio mobilepre usb audio interface and keep experiencing the same problem in both Garageband and Logic Express. During playback, all sound will drop entirely. The signal is still there for all tracks (only 6 tracks so not too much going on considering this is a new imac). I have to unplug my audio interface, answer yes that an audio device has been removed, replug in the interface and it picks it up on the scan. Voila~ All is well again for a while, then it drops again. Any suggestions? Thanks!!!

In fact, you can add markers directly in Mainstage - open up the playback plug-in, put your cursor exactly on the point of the waveform where you want your marker and control-click to open the pop-up menu from which you can add, rename and remove markers. Click/drag on the waveform to move to the required location.
To sync, just set the tempo of each song at the set or patch level (others have noted problems getting everything to sync properly, so to avoid this problem I usually just create an audio file of my click track and load it up into a separate playback channel - this also makes it easier to route it separately to your FOH output).
As for tempo change, well, I'm afraid MS2 doesn't support tempo change as such, although if you vary the tempo of you backings in PT and bounce down a stem, then that is just an audio file, and when MS2 plays it back it will play as recorded (ie with tempo changes). This is another good reason for using an audio file of a click track.
Good luck.

Playback loop dropping out before end of song!! Please help!!

Just started using mainstage 2 (latest version). I'm trying to set up some playback to perform live with, but for some strange reason, some of the playback stems always drop out before the end of the song. (usually 2 t 4 bars before ending.) It happens every time.. and on every songs...
Could someone please help.. I really can't figure this one out!
Thanx
I'm not looping the playbacks and I'm syncing on the average about 4 playback plugins song..

Core audio output drops out after upgrading boot HD

All,
I have a strange thing happening after I cloned and replaced my OS boot drive. I cloned my OS boot drive to another larger drive. When I boot to this new drive and open projects (located on another dedicated HD), playing certain instrument elements cause all of the audio to drop out. It makes a pop, then another pop where the audio would tail out. So if I had a piano EXS instrument doing this behavior and I play a note, I get a pop, then where the audio would finish accessing the file, I would get another pop. This affects the entire output of all audio in the project. I don't think this affects iTunes, but I will check again tonight.
In some cases, I have narrowed this down to a custom IR file loaded in Space designer. When I bypass this plug with a custom IR loaded, all audio will work fine, until I un-bypass this plug. If I reload this IR file, everything works fine.
This now is happening on some of the Logic drumkits and EXS instruments and reloading the questionable instrument does not fix this issue. It seems like a possible database/pathing issue, but not sure.
Has anyone seen behavior like this? Any way to fix?
Some things I have tried on this new OS clone:
Repair permissions
Remove the logic plist file and reboot
Run all of the maintenance/clean up scripts in Onyx
BTW: This occurred with 8.0.1 and also 8.0.2
If I physically re-install my original OS boot drive, these projects work fine.
I am using Core Audio and am using the embedded audio interface. I also have a PCIx UAD card installed.

This thread got lost with the 8.0.2 discussions.
Has anyone run into this kind of behavior or any possible steps to recover?
Thanks!
Tad

WRV210 drop outs

why do i constantly have to endure dropouts of my wir
eless router everyday, at least twice a day?

Now this is where it gets interesting. when i minimize the audition window during playback the drop outs & pops go away. is there a setting in audition for this? i'm running XP pro.
I don't know what's causing this, but it's very unlikely indeed to be a buffer setting on your sound device - because it would do the clicks and pops all the time, regardless of whether Audition was minimised or not. In general Audition isn't a RAM hog, so I very much doubt whether this is the cause either. The one thing that might have some bearing on it though is whether your PC is set to give priority to background tasks over highlighted running programs - that would almost certainly be worth checking out under these circumstances.

Tracks dropping out after fades

Hi all!
Lately I've been experiencing strange behaviour in Logic when mixing orchestral recordings. For instance now I'm mixing 64 tracks of 24 bit 48kHz orchestral stuff. When editing I'mcutting and moving all tracks together to keep timing and making fades to mask the cuts. When playing parts of the music with frequent edits/fades, some/all tracks will drop out immediately after the fade and then play again together with the rest after a while. There's no peaking on any cpu or disk I/O meters, far from it. I can get contious playback over problematic regions by starting just before them in time, but then I will get dropouts later down the timeline.
Are anybody else seeing this?
I'm running a 2x2.66 6-core w/32GB ram and all project files are located on a 4 TB striped RAID.
Best regards,
Ginge

Well, I think I've solved the next step...
I went into the project, and removed alal the effects. I had compression and reverb on just about every track, and a couple of plugins on the master. I switched them all off, and all the parts played. So this now does become a RAM issue, right? And how do I get from where I am now to where I want to be? I guess these are my next steps:
1. Go through each track and be more judicious in the use of effects.
2. If that doesn't help, export each track with effects, and drop into the project.
Any other thoughts? Oh, and thanks once more for helping!

Audio dropping out during playback in timeline

Hey everyone,
I've dug through these forums and unless I just completely overlooked it I have not found a solution to this issue. I've listed my setup below and then have stated the issue I'm experiencing.
27-inch, Mid 2011 iMac
3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
16GB 1333 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6970 1024MB
Running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
Currently working off of a portable 1TB G-Technology G-DRIVE via FW800.
Working in Premiere Pro CS6 Version 6.0.2
Editing in a sequence with settings:
1920 x 1080 23.976fps (also tried in a 29.97fps timeline with same issue)
Working with footage that is 23.98fps
Working with a combination of ProRes 422 (LT) and native H.264 Quicktime files strait from a 5D Mark 3.
The issue I'm having is during playback the audio will competely drop out. The video will continue playing on just fine but the audio drops completely out. All audio levels drop as well in the audio mixer meters so it truly is losing all communication with my audio layers in the timeline.
I read in other forums to go into Finder and delete out the .caf files, re open Premiere Pro, wait for them to be recreated then carry on. I tried this approach with no luck. Deleting the .caf did not change anything. Audio is still dropping out as I try to play through my timeline. The only way to get the audio back is to pause then press play again. I have 5 total channels of audio with only 2 of those channel active.
Any ideas on what is happening would be greatly appreciated. This is incredibly frustrating have to export out a video just to be able to watch it through.

Having this annoying problem also. Using the Space Bar to play timeline it takes pressing and holding to a count of three or trying press play three time in a row using the space bar to get ungarbled audio, or any audio at all in a normal uncomplicated sequence on the timeline.
Really annoying. Audio used to be so simple and untaxing to a sequence.

Audio visible in timeline but drops out on playback halfway through clip

I've been using Premiere Pro for a few years now and this has never happened to me before.
I am in the middle of putting together some long clips - anywhere from 3 minutes to 20 minutes long - and all of them worked fine except for the one shown here.
At the current edit point the audio drops out on playback. As you can see from the timeline, the audio is there. The rest of the clip prior to this point plays fine. Every other clip in the project plays fine. This particular clip loses its audio after 10:18 despite the fact that audio levels can quite clearly be seen in the timeline.
I am at a total loss. I've tried rendering, closing/reopening, restarting, re-importing ... everything. I hope someone else has a better idea.

Had the same problem and as solution used nero movie maker, where with sound was everything allright, and exported only sound. When exported a WMA format - premiere showed the same bug again, but when exported WAV format - premiere worked normally. It's not a 100% solution, becouse I had a 5.1 sound, that was converted into stereo sound.
Similary did with a videoclip, that could not import in premiere (premiere crashed) - via nero movie maker made ir from .mts to wmv with a little loss of quality.
Camera: Panasonic TM700
Software: Premiere CS4
File type: .MTS
It is a shame to such a expensive software
Update: these days I faced with this strange bug again and I had an idea to test whether this sound loss affects also exported media. I made a 20 seconds experimental clip and noticed, that there with sound is everything allright. So this sound loss is only in editing process and does not affect exported material.

Airplay dropping out during music playback

Since all the software updates I have developed a very annoying problem between iTunes 10.5 on my Mac Mini (Snow Leopard) and my ATV2.
If I am streaming from iTunes to the ATV2 using airplay I will get audio dropping out during playback. It happens intermittently and randomly. The song keeps playing on iTunes, but ATV2 isn't getting the audio.
If I am pulling music or stored movies from iTunes the other way around (i.e. using the ATV2 menu) there is no problem. Everything works as expected, but of course I get no iTunes DJ and no crossfade between songs.
I did notice that when this problem happens the wireless light on my router stops flashing, so I am assuming that iTunes is not buffering it's airplay, or perhaps there is some kind of a network error. At first I thought it might be too many devices active on the router, but this is never more than 4 items at once, including the ATV2.
Anyone else with a similar problem?

I think you're correct that Airplay doesn't buffer ahead, if it does it's a tiny amount, whereas the whole song can buffer when you pull/play direct on AppleTV.
If you think about it too because you're applying effects in iTunes, crossfades etc these have to be processed not just played and I think itunes does this in real time rather than processing ahead of time in case you say adjust eq settings/volume etc. Also, the Airport/Airplay devices playing 'live' effectively allows multiroom playback with a degree of synchronisation.
The cutting out is to me a sign that data is not getting across the network as robustly now for some reason - I used to have terrible problems with cutting out streaming to an older Airport Express over wi-fi due to interefrence locally from microwaves, cordless landline phones etc. Of course something may have changed given all the software updates but you'd expect the stuttering in iTunes if it was a processing bug. If many others see the same could still be software related,but unless that's the case I'd say it's almost certainly the network. ANyrthing changed? New competing networks from neighbours?

Broadband dropping out all the time

Over 12 month ago we moved offices and had nothing but hassle with the broadband and have been getting unsteady speeds and keeps dropping out we have Bt business broadband and phone. Since this wehave had 3 engineers out to it and endless hours of tests. The first one said it was looping back round on a old line or something?? He has now cut this out and it was fine. It was still the same the next appointment was to do with the copper wire line I waited in all day they decided they did not need to come so I phoned again may I add 0845 numbers off a mobile as they can't do tests if I phone off my land line. Another hour of tests they maid a appointment this time 2 engineers turned up spent half a day and ended up putting me on a new line. I was toils this time it might be alright off the engineers guess what it still does not work. Another two days of calling and another engineer has been assigned my job yesterday I never seen this one he apparently was working on it at BTs side I woke up this morning to no phone line for a minibus company Christmas week and no broadband. Another engineer is due to come out on Monday now. Every time I ring I get someone different people prom mice to ring back and never do. This service is disgusting for Bt and I am very disappointed and can't believe they can't fix a fault

46 minutes in movie all sound drops out

I am extremely frustrated, I have one on one and they could not help me. Please Help, for the last 4 weeks I have been trying to burn a 53 min video from FCS using I-movie 08 and 46 min into it the sound drops out. I have tried all the advise posted in the last Month.

Just a thought...how are you importing the movie into iDVD? If you are sending it from within iMovie, try importing it directly from within iDVD. Select 'Media' and then 'Movies' locate your movie and drag/drop it onto iDVD's main screen, being careful not to put it into a drop zone.
I also suggest that you recreate your iDVD project. I don't think the problem movie clips are corrupt because they worked in another iDVD project.

Right channel drops out on playback

I'm noticing that when switching between effects or just replaying a track I've recorded, the track initially has a right channel (which i can hear), but a second later, just drops out. Still in experimental stage in recording, but wondering if anyone has a reason for that happening.
I'm using an M-Audio Fast Track Pro device to get my input with acoustic guitar.

SteveG,
Good suggestions. I tried those too. Made not difference. However, this did. I poked around here and found a solution.
_durin_ had a great remedy. See this post: Playback stops when in multi-track
Also, now that I have made these settings, things seem to play back quicker and renders are faster. I still have a lot to learn.
Thanks so much!

Problems with my new phone (wi-fi, all cell reception keep dropping out)

I recently brought my apple iPhone 3GS (last 2 weeks) and pretty much since day 1 I've the same problem. The phone network I have keeps dropping out for no reason at all, wi-fi connection too (I maintain little or no coverage, but as I've taken the sim card back to the company for inspection, they've said the sim is fine and I shouldnt be having this problem) any ideas on how to resolve this issue???

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
I'm afraid i'm not familiar with mHotspot but it sounds like it's not providing correct DNS settings over DHCP and that you need to enter them manually in the phone. You can do this under Settings -> WiFi -> [tap and hold the network] -> Modify network -> Show advanced options -> IP settings -> Static. But for information on what settings you should use you need to check with the support for mHotspot. I suspect you should either use the DNS from your ISP or enter the IP of the virtual interface created my mHotspot.

My iPod touch gen5 wifi keeps dropping out. All the other iPods, iPads and iPhones don't in the house, just the iPod touch gen 5, entering the password every time is a pain, why can't it have a button to remember password like all the other devises.

My iPod touch gen5 wifi keeps dropping out. All the other iPods, iPad, and iPhone 4's don't in the house.
Why doesn't it remember the wifi password like the other i devises, it's a bugger entering it in every time.

You late question did get answered:on the 18th of this month. Sounds like you did not like the answers. Starting a new post without mentioning yur first post wastes people time
My iPod touch 5th gen isn't charging and when I plug my working charger in that I've always used a message pops up that says "This accessory may not be supported". So can I send it in for a new one if I have a warranty?

Just got new macbook pro (13inch) and restored all data from old mac via time machine. Now whenAudio drop out for 3-4 secs every 10 - 15 secs!! What is going on and what can I do?

Just got brand new macbook pro (13inch) and restored all data from old mac via time machine. Now when I p/back a track in logic I get audio drop out for 3-4 secs every 10 - 15 secs!! What is going on and what can I do? Its the same version of logic and all other functions seem fine!

First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

Apple TV2 Home Sharing Drop Out after 25mins of playback

iTunes: 10.5
Mac 10.6.8
Apple TV2 - 4.4.2
Home Sharing a Libary
Everything wired ethernet
After I watch a movie - let's say Dark Knight from the shared itunes Libary using Home Sharing at about 25 minutes the movie will stop and the Apple TV goes back to the main menu screen. I can then browse to the shared library under computers and start watching it again. After about 25 minutes or so it will do the drop back to the menus.
What gives? Until the 4.4.2 update I could watch anything for hours. It is also dropping back to the main menus when playing songs after 3-4 songs.
I've restarted all the network and t

I too upgraded to all the latest software (iTunes 10.2.1, iOS 4.2 on my Apple TV2) and am now experiencing drop-outs on home sharing every 10 minutes or so.
I can force Apple TV to re-recognise iTunes by quitting iTunes and then reloading. I have however noticed that my iTunes library will intermittently return to the Apple TV "Computers" menu.
Unlike others who have fixed the problem by merely disconnecting a wired ethernet link, I am running over wireless ('N' exclusively - is this anything to do with the problem??) This problem is quite irritating since my Apple TV/iTunes worked pretty well before the recent upgrades ...

All playback/output dropping out.
