Audio and Midi Jumping/Swithching Tracks in Arrange Window

I've had an issue with audio and Midi information switching tracks in the arrange window. Granted, I'm new with Logic. But as I'm working in an audio Track (let's say track 3), I happen to undo a record pass or delete something, and the next thing I know, all the tracks have jumped up one -- so the Midi drums in track 10 are in nine, playing the piano insert. The Midi Piano is up in 8 doing nothing (because track 8 is an audio track), etc. etc. etc. Very annoying -- even when the tracks are frozen.
Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

I've had this happen in the past.
What version of Logic are you working on?

How do I bounce audio and midi tracks at the same time to burn a CD?

Hi there,
I would like to bounce a song with both audio and midi tracks recorded in it onto a CD.
Despite ensuring that I am doing a realtime bounce (not offline) I am only getting the audio tracks burnt onto the CD - the midi isn't getting bounced to the final output.
This must be a stupid question, if someone would be so kind as to give me an obvious answer I would be most grateful.
Thankin y'all
amata

Hi A,
if you use the instrument (with logic virtual synths) tracks for midi,
it will.
BTW, why don't you do it offline?
It will be so much faster.
Kindly regards,
Jorge

Solution for "Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI" and "System Overload" messages

Article for those who hate Logic error windows
Seen in Logic Pro 9.1.7 on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4
and Logic Pro 9.0.0 on Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.5
Logic Pro:
System Overload.
The audio engine was not able to process all required data in time.
(-10011)
Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI.
Sample Rate xxxxx recognized.
Check conflict between Logic Pro and external device.
The search in the help given as follows: overload occurs when you use a lot of tracks and a lot of effects on them, and the synchronization is lost when the selected MIDI track for recording or playback. Yes, this is all that is written in the resources. And here are useful tips that have been found:
The Bounce function allows the entire instrument track to be recorded as an audio file. This bounced audio file can then be used (as an audio region) on a standard audio track, allowing you to reassign the available processing power for further software instrument tracks. For more details, see "Bouncing Your Project."
You can also make use of the Freeze function to capture the output of a software instrument track, again saving processing power. For details, see "Freezing Tracks in the Arrange Area."
These tips - about the timing. About overload - there are no tips, except as "reducing the number of plug-ins" and "increasing latency". Zero useful tips - I got two errors in the test project with a blank audio track with no effects, MIDI drums and standard synthesizer, it was no aux buses, and the entire project was only a single plugin in the master track.
Here is the configuration of my computer:
iMac12, 2
CPU: Intel Core i5 3,1 GHz
Memory: 4 GB
And here's a project that almost immediately stops Logic, all instruments and plug-ins with the init-patch, ie not the most demanding settings:
It's sad.
When this happened the first time, I could start the project only if the empty audio track has been selected, a track specially designed so that you can at least start the project. Then, this problem has evaporated along with the changing conditions of work and I forgot about it until the last case.
I was looking for the cause of the problem in the console and the system monitor for two days, and finally I found that Logic ping to the network frequently. I remembered the exact time of occurrence of the problem, and system logs revealed that the problems began immediately, as soon as I deactivate the service of the Internet.
Solution: enable the Internet, or add a new network service on a computer with no Internet. I just created the Ethernet connection to the ip address 1.0.0.0
Logic immediately began to sing.

Hi gabaghoul
Yes, it worked for me on four different OS and Logic versions (10.6 - 10.8 and 9.0 - 9.1.6)
It does not work in some cases, hard enough to tell in which one, but you can try, it very easy: go to the net settings and create new Ethernet connection to the ip address 1.0.0.0 and connect LAN cable to the port.
Also you can try to figure out what happens in your system while Logic error occured - fot that you just start Console and search "logicpro"
Pay attention to repetitive events in a console and events with suitable timing, not so far from error
The problem may be related to the GUI or system memory, sometimes turning off Safari (or Chrome, others browsers) might help.

Recording Audio and Midi at the same time in Logic 7 Express Can it be done

I am wondering if I can record audio and midi at the same time in Logic 7 Express. I am running my guitar thrugh a Roland GR 33, and a line out and using the GR 33 to trigger sounds in the Logic's synth section but cant seem to record all three tracks at once. If any one knows how let me know. Oh and I am running the GR Synth and Guitar into the Prosonus Fire Fox and have the GR 33 out midi to the Fire Box as well. So I guss the question is how do I sent up two audo tracks and one midi track to record in real time. Thanks Victor

Try arming the audio tracks, select one of the tracks, then while holding down the shift key, select the midi track you want to record, arming the "r" on the midi track. Press "record".....

Error message trying to synchronise audio and midi sample rate 42463

I have a Rode Podcaster mic that is terrific. It has been working fine in GB. suddenly I am getting this when I try to record my podcast:
'Error message trying to synchronise audio and midi sample rate 42463 recognised. Check conflict between Garageband and external device'
Has anyone experienced this before? How do I resolve it? I'm still using my Version 6.0.5.
Apple, is this a way of forcing me to upgrade to V10?

Just click the icon on each track that stops it acting as a live input. It looks like a sound wave. Only have them clicked orange when using the track to record! I don't know if that will solve your problem!

Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI. Sample rate 42804 recognized. Check conflict between Garageband and external device.

Sometimes, while playing back my software instrument songs, I get an intermittent pop-up error message, saying "Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI. Sample rate 42804 recognized. Check conflict between Garageband and external device."
(Sometimes the five digit number is different, but remains a five-digit number beginning with "4".)
Simultaneously, the song stops until I press the "Okay" button in the pop-up window.
When I continue to play the song, the sound is jerky and clipped, and the playhead doesn't keep up with the song, and then suddenly jumps to the part of the song currently being played.
There's also a sound of static.
The issue seems to occur whether or not I have my MIDI controller turned on and plugged into my desktop Imac.

Hello,
open your Audio MIDI Setup utility and set the input to 44100

Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI. plz help i cant hear anything

plz help me i cant hear nothing and its says: Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI.
Sample Rate 38536 recognized.
Check conflict between Logic Pro X and external device. ???????? PLZ HELP

It means you are overtaxing the CPU, likely with just one (3rd party-)software instrument plugin. Ignore the word "external", in this context it often means "3rd party plugin".
So what synth is it? Since you're Dutch, it's probably one of the trancy dancy synths, such as Albino, Diva, Sylenth or Massive... I could be wrong though...
The best way to avoid this message is to Freeze the track with the guilty synner - however, a frozen track cannot be edited, so if that is a problem, you will have to make the synth itself run lighter, which can be achieved by turning of internal effects that are ON the synth itself, especially reverb.

Error while trying to sync audio and MIDI, sample rate 39100 recognised??

When I press record a message appears saying 'error while trying to syncronise audio and MIDI, sample rate 39100 recognised. Check conflict between garage band and external device. I'm using a Behringer UMC-202 interface. The inputs are selected as the device but no audio is present either.

LogicPro 8 "Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI"

Hello,
My rig: Dual 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5 3.5 GB DDR SDRAM. OS X 10.4.11. Logic Pro 8.0.2, Motu 828mkII interface, emagic Unitor 8 midi interface, Makie Control Universal, 7200rpm Firewire 800 Hard drives.
I Just launched a Logic Pro 8 session that was started a few days ago and when I click "Play" there is no audio from the recorded tracks coming through the speakers. All that comes through the speakers is a series of hi pitched (roughly 4k to 6k) beeps and then an error message: "Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI". I've tried restarting everything and still get the same results. I tried switching audio device to "built-in audio" instead of the motu and that works fine, (the tracks play back correctly).
I've also tried other sessions that have different sample resolutions and bit depth and I also tried reseting all midi drivers.
All sessions produced the same results, "Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI", and played correctly when using built-in audio device. It's looking like the problem is with the motu.
How can I trouble shoot this?

Sounds like the MKII needs a reset.
You can reset the 828 MkII to default settings in the following way (as provided from the MOTU support page):
Follow these steps to restore the 828mkII to Factory Default Settings.
Disconnect the firewire cable from the 828mkII
Press the Setup knob
Turn the Setup knob all the way to the right
Press the Select knob
Press the Value knob
Power off the interface and plug the firewire cable back in
Power the interface back on

Re: ERROR while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI

Hi Guys/Gals
A bit of a strange one. Yes, I have posted a similar question concerning my trusted 2.7ghz G5 PPC and my Digidesign 003R which it turned out that the Digi's FW ports were to blame.
New issue. I have just completed an install on a client's machine, here's it's specs etc:
Hardware:
iMac 2.8Ghz Duo Core Intel, 4Gb ram, 500Gb HD etc (the custom top end before last week's upgrade) arrived last week. Running Leopard 10.5.2 and has all the latest updates. (firmware/software)
Apogee Ensemble (with newest firmware update/upgrade)
Iomega ULTRAMAX HARD DRIVE 1TB USB 2.0/FIREWIRE® 400/800 (sorry, copied from their site)
M-Audio Axiom 49 USB Midi controller/keyboard
Software:
Logic Pro 8 (latest 8.0.1) All standard plugs/samples, no third parties at all, just 100% Apple install.
Reason 4 (latest 4.0.1)
I reformatted the built-in hd to two partitions of equal size, one for the OS and one for whatever. I formated the external terrabyte into two partitions also of equal size, non are journalized, all are GUI partitions. I copied the LP 8 demos to both the internal "spare" partition and to the primary "Audio1" partition of the external drive. The Iomega HD is connected via the 800FW port and the Apogee Ensemble is connected via the 400FW port (the iMac has one of each). If I play any of the demo songs from the internal partition, they play perfectly, if I play them off the external Iomega partitions (either) within 8 bars I get:
"Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI
Sample Rate 45946 recognized.
Check conflict between Logic Pro and external device."
As I said, any demo played back from the internal drives absolutely perfectly..... Any ideas?
Cheers!!
Bobs

There are a lot of different opinions about partitioning in Mac OS X and you can read some of them here:
http://forums.cnet.com/5208-7592_102-0.html?forumID=25&threadID=44865&messageID= 530144
and here
http://forums.appleinsider.com/archive/index.php/t-8096.html
My opinion is that partitions cam be useful when:
1. the OS can't manage big volumes (as it was in the past)
2. the OS can't optimize the space on big volumes
3. want to install 2 or more separate OSes
4. organization (like in your case).
Now, OS X filesystem (HFS+) is robust and reliable and OS X is a multitasking system that parallelizes I/O operations like reading or writing a disk.
So if you have 2 separate hard disk the system can parallelize the operations (i.e. reading from one and writing into another one) but if you have 2 partitions the system (or better the disk subsystem) have to jump back and forth among the partitions.
About the linking schema of the Audio interfaces and the FW hard disks it can change: I connect my FW disk to the MOTU and the MOTU to the mac while a friend of mine have to put the disk before of his Presonus.
Thanks for the beer!

(rare?) Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI.

Hello there,
My problem: Until today, I've been working with all my projects without any problems with my configuration, but today I've turned on the computer and when I play any project (including a new project with one or two audio tracks or the SAME PROJECT that i've been working the last night), 3 or 4 seconds later I get the fantastic and typical error from logic and an apparently more slow performance loading projects...
everytime... play, and error...play (or pause) and error...
"Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI.
Sample Rate 41347 recognized.
Check conflict between Logic Pro and external device."
and sometimes... (randomly)
"System Overload. The audio engine was not able to process all required data in time."
... and I haven't touched anything / no updates / no setup changes... NOTHING.
I've tried all these things (searching in the forum) with NO luck:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2111
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24535
My equipment:
Macbook pro 2,4 Intel Core 2 Duo / 2 GB RAM
Logic Pro 9.1.3
Snow Leopard 10.6.7
Motu ultralite Mk2
Lacie quadra 1 TB (FW800)
- I have a motu ultralite mk2, but i've tried with the built-in audio too, and I'll just get the same performance.
- I've tried with the lacie hardrive on and off and with projects in the internal hardrive and others with all the audios in the external.
The funny thing is that i've been working in a project this last night and all PERFECT, and now its impossible work with it, and I haven't changed anything.
PLEASE, any help? I'm confused and I need to finish some works...
THANKS!

If the MOTU unit has a reset procedure, unplug it from the Mac and do it now. That's simialr to what the older 828MkII units used do when they needed to be run through the reset procedure.
It can be caused by a Firewire/USB glitch or power surge when powering up the computer.
p.s.
As a side note, I remember that same error.....
"Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI. Sample Rate 41347 recognized."
From Logic 3.5, it's been around for that long, with different sample rates of course.
Back then it was from bad audio drivers.. it's difficult to pin down some of these errors as they can be caused by different things.

File plays fine, then I get "Error Syncing Audio and Midi"

Hi, I just installed my upgrade to Logic 9 from 8. When I play a file , it goes fine at first, then if I save it, a crackling sound takes over and I get a message like "Error syncing Audio and Midi". Saving the file is not the only thing that will cause this to occur but I can't pinpoint exactly what and when these other times happen.
I did some troubleshooting with an Apple Rep by phone the other day and it seemed we had it figured out that the problem was about bringing projects over from Logic 8 and opening them in Logic 9. The suggested solution was to export audio tracks from 8 and import them into 9 as a fresh project.
It then seemed that when I started a project from scratch in Logic 9, I had no problems. This no longer seems to hold water as a theory. The problem I'm having now is with a project I started fresh in Logic 9.
When the crackling sound starts, the play speed seems to slow down as if I were playing an old 78 on the wrong speed or something.
Also I can't bounce to make an Mp3 in Real time - that causes this crackling sound/speed issue to occur as well. When I try to bounce an Mp3 offline, it re-hashes the first Mp3 I did and I don't hear my changes even as I choose to replace the file. This is screwy,...really.
I appreciate any assistance or ideas on this.
Thanks, Frank B.

I was getting the same issue last night with a stereo track and one instance of Addictive Drums with just tom fills and a few crash cymbals in the sequence. I thought it might be a AD issue because I assigned a multi instrument to AD which is not necessary but I forgot that. I deleted the multi instrument and this seems like it solved it for me. I just ran the track and no Midi Audio sync errors or the crackling sound. Do you have any multi instruments in your setup?

Recording audio and midi at the same time ??

Is it possible to record audio and midi at the same time in logic?? It doesnt seem to work for me, im assuming there must be unchecked box somewhere that I need to check. thanks,
Dan

Daniel,
You should be able to accomplish this by hitting record on the audio track, and then while holding the "Shift" key down, hitting record on the MIDI track (or visa versa).

Error occurred trying to synchronize audio and MIDI

when i use GARAGEBAND by MAC MINI and M- audio Fast track, System display :" with Error occurred trying to synchronize audio and MIDI, identify the sampling rate 36705; Check the conflict between GARAGEBAND and the external equipment"
i don't know how to solve this problem. and it makes me cannot use garageband to record songs anymore
please help me
thks !

Launch the "Audio Midi Setup" utility - you'll find it in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
Select your input device in the left column and check the sample rate. GarageBand can only work with 44100 Hz.

Help... Logic can't synchronize audio and MIDI...?

Please help -- I'm on a deadline and can't solve this problem...
My project is only four tracks: MIDI Drum kit, MIDI Bass, and two Audio guitar tracks.
When trying to record a vocal on a fifth track (Audio), I get no sound in my headphones of the single audio track I'm singing to, or of the audio track I'm recording.
After about five seconds, this message pops onto the screen:
"Error: Logic is unable to synchronize audio and MIDI"
I've searched every dialog box and the entire manual, and I can't find where my setup is wrong.
The setup: I used the Aggregate Device info from this forum, and all operations other than the current problem are working fine.
I'm using a MobilePre USB (updated driver), a single mic into the MobilePre and headphones out of it. Single USB connection to the computer.
My MacBookPro has 3 gigs RAM, 40 gigs free disk space, system 10.5.2.
Can anyone offer any advice... please... Thanks in advance

Probably to do with the aggregate device stuff.
Who told you to use that?
Disable your aggregate device stuff.
Reinstall your M-audio driver.
In Logic make sure your project settings sync mode is set to internal,and you have selected the M-audio driver in preferences>Audio.
Good luck.
