Audio clicks/pops in FCPX 10.1 w/ new mac pro

I recently upgraded to a new mac pro 6 core and run FCPX 10.1. I've found that my audio will 'click' at the end of a track (the way it used to in FCP7). If I use the cross fade it still clicks. If I automate the volume to cut off before the end of the track, it does not click.
This was not happening before I upgradeded to 10.1 / the new mac pro. Any ideas why this might be happening?
Thanks!
Kyle

Can't test because I don't have the new MP.
But just thinking that since there is a lot of nMP traffic at the MP forum, you might post your issue there to see if you can get a better response.
Good luck.

Resolve/FCPX playback issues w/ new Mac Pro

when I have both FCPX and Resolve open on my new Mac Pro, my playback is glitchy in both programs. In FCPX, I get black frame flashes. In resolve, it glitches out w/ neon colors and won't give a clean export/share.
Any ideas what can be causing this?
My Mac is driving a NEC 272w via a displayport> mini display cable.
Thanks!
Kyle

I've no idea what is causing the problem as I know nothing about Resolve but my reply will bump you to the top of the page giving others more chance to see your question.
Are you optimizing your footage?
Also you need to give exact details of the format you are shooting and your project specs.

Premiere Pro CC & New Mac Pro - Audio Line Out Issue

I'm having a few issues with the audio line out on the new Mac Pro. For some reason, Line Out locks into Premiere Pro. When I switch programs, the audio line out device stays locked to Premiere Pro and the only way to get other programs to be able to output audio when Premiere Pro is not current application, is to go into System Preferences > Sound and click onto an alternative output and then click back onto Line Out.
Thanks,
Jon

Thanks.

Recommendations for audio interface with new mac pro to avoid latency?

Hi friends,
I have a new Mac Pro on order for editing video in FCPX, but Presonus says my older Presonus Firebox won't work with Mavericks and the new Mac Pro. Do you have a recommendation for a replacement?
I only use the interface to drive 2 powered expternal speakers and a headset, so I don't need something super sophisticated.
As I read about units, almost all come with USB 2.0 connections. But the new Mac Pro only offers USB, Thunderbolt 2, Dual Gigabit Ethernet, and HDMI 1.4 Ultra HD inputs. If I can't find a fairly inexpensive audio interface with USB 3.0, I'd have to go through another connection to get into the Mac Pro.
The key for me is to make sure and avoid latency, a critical issue for editing video.
Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks. Duncan

Thanks Mark and Smokerz,
Your point about USB2 working in USB3 ports is something I wasn't aware of. That opens a lot of doors for me. And I'll look into the Yamaha sound board as one possibility.
Thank you both for helping me.

Rear Audio Jack not Working on New Mac Pro

Hello All,
Here's the deal. I just pursuaded my company to buy a brand new Mac Pro to run FCP Studio 2 as a test run to see if they perform well enough to eventually replace our remaining PC's. We've had the Mac Pro for less then two weeks and I'm running into an issue that I can't resolve, and I don't want to fall on my face. The rear Audio input jack keeps failing. Meaning sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't when speakers are plugged into. The jack on the front works fine, but the rear jack doesn't appear to recognize the speakers after the computer is shut down then restarted. You have to restart the computer 2 or 3 times before the speakers start pumping out sound. Which in all honesty is extermely dissappointing to me. And if I have to bring this thing in to get serviced, my boss will not move forward with buying anymore Mac Pro's, which I'm working hard to make happen.
Please help me out.
Thank you all for your time

Fcpx poorly optimised for the new mac pro?

'm experiencing low playback performance on fcpx 10.1.2 on my new mac pro:
I'm on a 8-core, 64GB, d700 (project and files are all on the main drive. Im on the latest maverick update.
Im working on prores 1080p and adding some effects to a clip and my playback really drops, so far I have been testing a few plugins such as hawaki "auto-split" or coremelts "track & slice X". I instantly need to render the effects to see the results, the funny thing is the same plugins runs smoothly on my macbook retina.. It made me wonder maybe the 3rd party plugin isn't optimised for the new mac pro but then I tried hawaki auto-split on Premiere cc 2014 and I was getting way better results than fcpx..
This may seem like a trival thing but paying this much money for a product and having a bigger project with different plugins this gets really annoying..
Anyone else experiencing any issues?

QX 10 is QuarkXpress (version 10 - latest version) – a pro publishing/page layout application. Adobe InDesign knocked QX off its throne over a decade ago. Now that Adobe have introduced their subscription model (as opposed to their former purchase upfront model), many pros like me are now looking for alternatives. QX is about the most likely. I'm just doing some homework before I jump (after all it's my livelihood we're talking about here).

New MAC PRO: itunes audio playback-stuttering, glitching, skipping

I have a brand new mac pro 3.2ghz quad, with 8gb ram (bought a couple weeks ago). All seems fine with the exception of brief skips, glitches and stutters with audio playback in itunes. I tried updating to itunes 11 and this did not resolve the problem. My music files play fine on my girlfriends macbook pro (purchased over a year ago), and never had any problems on my old machine (imac 24inch aluminum). I went to apple with the problem and after multiple system recoveries they determined that the computer was faulty and sent me a replacement. I just received the replacement and tested out some downloaded music from the itunes store and the same problem happened. Am I just unlucky to get two computers with this issue? Is it the Mac Pros? Has anyone had this issue with mac based machines, specifically the mac pros? I saw another thread on the issue but seemed to be primarily windows users running itunes. The skipping happens as frequent as every 20-30 seconds to every few minutes, but it is definitely enough to notice
Thanks.
Baffled,
Greg

Hi Greg.
I seem to have discovered this problem this weekend. I listen to a lot of music from my apple devices and have done for years. What I have noticed this weekend is that both my Macbook 2008 and iMac late 2010 both suffer with a brief stutter every minute or so making the enjoyment of listening to music a little annoying. Both are running Mountain Lion 10.8.2. My iMac is running the 2.93 GHz intel i7 processor with 8GB ram. Playing music should be a doddle!
From my point of view both Macs are running independently to external speakers. The music I am running on those 2 devices has been ripped on both devices. e.g. Macbook has ripped and plays Apple Lossless format and my iMac has ripped and plays songs in 320kbps. My guess is its a bug with the new iTunes 11 or Mountain Lion although I have been using 11 since its release.
While I'm not able to supply a fix I think its safe to say its not your new Mac Pro. One other thing to note is that I have been running up until this weekend a 7 or 8 year old Mac Mini as a media device in my kitchen playing Apple Lossless format with no issues at all. This device however is running Snow Leopard with all updates applied. The Macbook is now playing the Lossless music with stutters that was ripped on the Mac Mini that was playing OK.
So is the problem Mountain Lion?
Take care
Paul

IMac vs the new Mac Pro for video editing in FCPX?

Hi.
I am currently using a macbook air for all my editing and rendering of videos in FCPX. The editing process is reasonably smooth when dealing with shorter clips, but when I tried to edit multicam clips, things started to slow down. Also, the rendering and compression processes are tedious. I am planning to edit and process a much larger number of videos in the next years to come, so I have decided to do a serious upgrade of my system.
For the moment, I am torn between a maxed out iMac 27", which would be the cheapest alternative, and the 6 core Mac Pro or 4 core Mac Pro.
When I look at benchmarks of the new Mac Pro's in Geekbench, the iMac is never very far away in terms of performance. Does tests like this tell anything about how well the Mac Pro will perform in FCP? Does the hardware in the Mac Pro have features which makes it superior to the iMac, in other ways than for example the "pure power" of the CPU and GPU?
Christopher.

Intel Xeon processors are designed to run 24/7 and stay cool and under load.
Mac Pro so far hold up strongly for years, easy to add and upgrade RAM and processor, and maybe, hopefully, even the twin GPUs. Thunderbolt2 for all your projects and storage as well.
6 or 8-cores is going to walk away from iMac which is breathing hard and not designed for constant heat. Haswell was designed to conserve and reduce.

New Mac Pro makes 'clicking' sound when picked up / inverted

Hello,
I've recently purchased a new mac pro - 3.5GHz 6-core, 32GB ram, 512 GB, D700.
So far so good with this unit - it seems to be a solid machine - albeit one tiny question...... I generally use it in a shared office environment, so at the end of the day pack the unit into a flight ready peli case. When picking the unit up, it makes an internal clicking sound (especially when rotating the machine over it's axis).
I might be complaining about nothing here.....but with having to move the machine a couple times a day, with air travel with it planned soon, i'd like to be assured that some internal component's not going to fall off in transit.
Does anyone have a similar issue? Possibly there's no cause for concern.
Many thanks.
Morgan.

lllaass suggestion makes sense.
The standard orientation is upright, and there is no strong reason to limit the end-play on the fan motor shaft. Even when placed horizontally, the fan would settle into one position when spinning and stay there.

Analogue Stereo Audio Output from the New Mac Pro

Does anyone know what the analogue stereo audio output from the new Mac Pro is? From the specification, there appears to be a stereo output for headphones, but it is unclear what other audio outputs are available and whether a stand-alone amplifier is required to drive small stereo speakers. Yan (UK)

It is line-level. You will need powered speakers or an amplifier.

I have interface M Audio 400 with 400 firewire new Mac Pro has firewire 800 Do you think an adaptor will provide the same quality? Will the M audio 400 work with lion and new system or do I need new software? Thanks so much

If you have a little Firewire adaptor, everything should work fine. It does on my system.

Audio clicks/pops since Mavericks upgrade

Ever since the upgrade to OSX 10.9, I've been experiencing frequent clicks/pops in MainStage 3's output with the same buffer/processor core settings as before. What's strange is that the CPU doesn't seem to be spiking at all, and there isn't anything else taxing the computer. Higher buffer settings help a little bit, but even at a level of 256 samples I'm still getting more degraded output as compared to Mountain Lion. It doesn't seem to be plugin-specific... the problem is present in Apple's AU's as well as third-party plugins like Kontakt and Ivory II. Using standalone instruments outside of MainStage doesn't produce the same clicks/pops, even at lower buffer settings. I'm not using an external sound card/interface.
Things I've tried:
-Different buffer settings, as mentioned above - using MainStage 3 before the upgrade at 64 samples (with safety buffer) was great
-Removed MainStage as well as the associated preference files and reinstalled
-Created new concerts/patches rather than using preexisting ones
Any suggestions? My last resort would be trying a clean install of Mavericks or reverting to Mountain Lion, but I don't really have a strong desire to do either of those... Thanks in advance for your help!
HW: 2012 MBP Retina at 2.6 GHz
SW : OSX 10.9.1 Mavericks, MainStage 3.0.2 using Kontakt 5, XLN Addictive Keys, Ivory II

I just upgraded to Maverick 10.9.2 recently . I tested the latest version of Mainstage after reading this post to see if I might encounter the same problem .
After spending 30 minutes with Mainstage , there's hasen't been any clicks or pops whatsoever .
The buffer size is 128 samples .
I also am using ONLY Logic soft synths . No 3rd party in my concerts . ( for now anyways )
Just wondering if the problems that you have been running into might be caused by the use of 3rd party plugs .
I am using a Focusrite Scarlett 18i8 as class compliant USB 2 audio interface with buitl in midi .
I had to update the firmware of the audio card because of Maverick to avoid audio dropouts . That also solved a potential problem .

Clicking noise from the HDD of the new Mac Mini

I just recently purchased a new Mac mini to retire the Macbook pro from my leaving room (it was heating up too much when running Plex). The problem I find is that the new Mini's HDD (toshiba 5400) has a loud clicking noise which on the MBP I can't barely notice. Is anybody else experiencing this?
I would like to understand if this is just a faulty HDD so I can exchange it or if the sound is normal and then I would just return it.
Thanks in advance

No clicking on my 2010 aluminum model or any of the previous ones that I have had.
