Audio cuts out in the middle of recording an instrument track

The recording continues to happen, but I can no longer hear either the pre recorded tracks, nor the track I am laying down.
I am using Logic 7 Express on a Mac Mini with 1 Gig of Ram, and I am recording through a M-Audio Fast Track USB. Play back goes through the Fast Track into a Logitech basic computer 3 piece speaker system. I dont know if this is an application or hardware issue.
Any thoughts?

To confirm, the driver linked to earlier in this thread was installed and your audio is no longer working at all?
What is the product number?
NOTE: Do NOT provide the serial number or the Windows product key.
If you open the device manager (typically Start>right-click Computer>manage>device manager), is the sound card listed without any errors (?, ! )? If it has a ? or a ! on it, open it and let me know what the status message is.
What is the status of the mute key? Does the key respond when it is pressed?

Audio cuts out in the middle!

I have now burned two disks for my current project. The preview looks and sounds fine, but when I view the burned disk, the audio drops out in the middle. I thought maybe it was a memory issue, but wouldn't I get an error message or something? Maybe I did something wrong in the editing, but then why would the preview be fine? Any suggestions? THANKS!

The problem may be the actual DVD media or player. Read Beverly's comments here:

Suggest you create a disc image and then burn the DVD. File/Save As Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Disk Utility to burn the DVD.
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (not the .img, the one below) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. Your SuperDrive tray will open. Insert a recordable DVD. (DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and Tiger.
b Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD 5 project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

Hp touchsmart win8 audio cuts out in the middle of listening or watching stuff after 5min

Just bought a brand new HP Touchsmart Envy 23 and audio will stop working after listening to anything after a few minutes. Been doing it since I bought it. Will work again if the computer is restarted, but still will only last a few minutes before cutting out for good again.

As i am watching a movie the audio will cut out in the middle of the movie.

As i am watching a movie the audio will cut out in the middle of the movie. Also I am watching the movie in full screen mode. IfI have a windows 8 and this article does not work http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1718. I have uninstall and reinstall with a current version of quicktime.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

Audio cutting out at the end of my video

So I exported a AVCHD video into an uncompressed AVI and then re imported it. I brought it into the time line and edited it a bunch and also brought in another video and mixed that in. For about half of the video, I used the audio from the video itself... but in different sections, I brought in a separate wav file. I used this wav file towards the end of the video for about 1 minute of the video. After I was done, I exported the entire project into a normal avi file because what I'm going to do for now is upload these to YouTube and so I don't want the file sizes to be too huge.
So I opened up the final avi file in VLC player... and everything is great... except the last 30 seconds or so of the video doesn't have the audio. It plays the audio from the wav about halfway through... and then it stops. The video continues... but there is no sound.
I went back into the project and everything looks fine. The wav file extends to the end and the audio plays fine when I preview the video. So I exported again just to see if it was some sort of error the first time... but no... it did the same thing.
So why is the audio cutting out at the end? How do I fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Ok I figured out how to do a better quality MP4. However I had two problems. 1... the quality isn't near as good as the AVI. 2... now the audio cuts out in even more places instead of just the end. It seems that the .wav file I imported is causing the problems. In the AVI, the wav file cuts out at the end. In the MP4, the wav file cuts out in the middle AND at the end. I don't understand why this is happening. The wav file plays all the way through normaly, and it also sounds find when I preview the video... but when I encode it... it cuts out in places regardless of the format. Is there some step I'm missing in the process to make sure the audio is all in place?

8gb Itouch cuts out in the middle of every song

Brand new 8GB IPob Touch freshly loaded...Cuts out in the middle of every song.
Please help if you know the fix

Hey Ariddel,
I don't have the issue, but I am curious what's different between you and me. If you use nslookup in Command Prompt on Windows or use Network Utility on OS X to lookup pri.kts-af.net - what does it say?
Is it a particular genre or station that you're testing, or did you try several?
Could you share one of the streams you listen to and see this with that so I can test?
Does it happen at all hours, or are there only certain hours you listen to the radio in iTunes?
I know I mostly listen in the office - maybe it only happens when everyone is at work and listening to the radio?
Thanks for helping me with my curiosity problem.

Songs cut out in the middle

On several different files downloaded from the iTunes store, the content cuts out in the middle. The song will be going along, playing normally, then there will be anywhere from several seconds to several minutes of silence before the song begins to play again. The progress bar in iTunes window continues on counting off seconds/minutes as if playing normally, but no sound comes out. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to which files are doing this. I have entire albums where there isn't a problem and others where it happens on one, two or more files. It occurs across different devices. How can I re-download the files to see if this fixes the problem? Thanks

You can delete a track by selecting it and pressing the delete key. Confirm that you want to move it to the Trash.

Audio cutting out at the end of projects.

I upgraded to iLife 09 (iMovie 09)
I have encountered this problem for the second time and I can't figure it out. I am pretty good at figuring things out so I am confident this is some kind of glitch. I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue or possibly a resolution.
After doing a bunch of editing on a new project the original audio from the video cuts out towards the end of the movie. This happens when you preview or export the project however the music files and sound effects work fine. The other odd thing is that if you pause the project and restart it (only in preview mode) using the space bar the original audio works fine.
This issue has been going on for a while and it is preventing me from publishing my self proclaimed masterpieces.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Frank

Well I hope that is the not the case half of my project is at 75% (the presets are 25, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800). Heh... I wonder if they are aware of this issue? I will let you know once I edit the project and see if it plays... It is gonna take a while If I want this to be watchable lol.... Is there an easier way to match up music?

Audio cuts out in the final minutes of a 1.5 hour movie

My burned DVD has great sound, EXCEPT that the audio cuts out completely for the last 5 minutes or so of the last chapter. My project is about 90 minutes long and contains camcorder footage, pictures and added background music (not protected). I've checked the movie file - it's fine, and everything previews fine in iDVD. The DVD was encoded with "Professional" quality.
Perhaps it's too long? but no errors were reported. Advice?

Possible Explanation and Solution: I had assembled my movie from two m4v files, the "large" exports produced by iMovie when you share projects to the media browser. I used QT Pro to simply copy and paste one onto the end of the other, and saved as a .mov. I thought this was a clever solution to the lack of a "Play All" problem in iDVD. All my chapters and everything worked beautifully in iDVD preview. But then the audio dropped out on the final output. Oh Well, it almost worked!
With no other solution in sight, I recreated my DVD project this time with the two separate .m4v movies from the Media Browser and everything works on the finished disk. I have the annoying return to the menus, but at least I finally have a complete disk.
Take home lesson: Bite the bullet and assemble your complete DVD movie in one iMovie '09 project. The convenience of dividing it into smaller projects is a trap - there's no good way to put them back together for the final DVD. What a pain.

Keynote 6.5 audio cuts off in the middle of a recording

I am trying to record a Keynote presentation with narrative then convert it to a movie and post it to YouTube. I created and saved the presentation, verified the recording then exported it to Quicktime. From there, I loaded it up to YouTube but discovered that the audio was cut off within the first minute or two. When I went back to the original recording, it appears that the audio was cut off when it was being converted to a movie. Is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong? Any fixes out there? Thank you.

One example of an affected clip:
Source is from a Panasonic HD camera--so transferred to FC from a P2 card
Item properties:
817.5 MB
960x720
DVCPRO HD 720p60, Interger (little Endian), Timecode
Hey--could this be caused by the frame rate of the sequence? I just noticed that the sequence these affected clips are in is 60fps, and my video clips are 23.98fps. So--I copied and pasted my clips into a new 23.98 sequence and the issue has gone away. Huh. Oops... Not enough coffee this morning.
Thanks for trying to help out--sorry to have answered my own question (duh).

HT1349 iTunes radio frequently cuts out in the middle of a song and rebuffers--a lot! This is really annoying.

I have a dual platform system and when I use iTunes on the PC side, it frequently craps out. It suffers from constant dropout and needs to rebuffer. I went on here to create a post about it and found the choice of communities disappointing. Furthermore, the MAc side also suffers from this issue. Anyone have any ideas as to why this is always happening?

Audio cutting out when using D2 external Firewire Drive

Hi,
I have just upgraded to Logic Studio, using the following setup:
Macbook Pro
Motu 828
AMT 8
Logic Studio
D2 Lacie 500GB Firewire Drive
As the MacBook's internal hard drive is not sufficient to record and playpack efficiently, I was advised to get an external Firewire Drive. Given that I have very little space on my laptop - (am running windows on a partition also) I am trying to save my logic files to the external HD. When creating tracks specifically using Audio Instruments, the playpack keeps cutting out.
I am connecting the HD via usb 2. I am also having to freeze the tracks in order to record more layers. There is lots of clipping and latency. I thought by using the external, this problem would be resolved.
The HD is not playing back the tracks fast enough, and keeps cutting the audio out. The audio cuts out everytime the blue light on the drive flashes.
I cannot save the files to the MackBook HD as there is notenough space.
Is there something very wrong with my setup?
any advice would be really appreciated.
ps. I am a bit of a newbie
thank you in advance.
Spy

Connect it via firewire 800. USB2 is not good for audio or video streaming.
I have 3 D2's connected to my mac pro, works like a charm.
good luck.
