Audio file plays back in mono

wierd one this...
a stereo mix (rendered as a stereo interleaved aiff) plays back fine in preview, itunes and when dropped onto the arrange window. however, when it is auditioned from the Sample Editor or from the Audio Window it plays back in mono. this is not my project so i dont know exactly what has gone on before, but when i import it into a new logic project and try the same thing, it is fine.
any ideas?

solved my own question thanks!

Why don't some audio files play back in enhanced iBook?

I recently bought an enhanced iBook in iTunes for my iPad and most of the audio files play. A few do not when I click on them. The player goes blank (disappears) and nothing happens. Does anyone have a solution?

In iTunes, select all the songs/files you want to stay where they are.
Right click - get info.
Tick *Remember position* and set it Yes.
You can do individual songs or a bunch at once.

URGENT Strange problem with no audio files playing back in arrange

Anyone ever have something in Logic Pro X (newest .1 update, auto updated on me but seems fine otherwise) where playback of audio just stops? Like, meters still move for automation, audio files still remain in place, but nothing is even metering? Another alternative of this project (which i dont' want to use) works, and this just sorta stopped playing back. nothing i can think that triggered it. I can start up a new instrument and it plays back and records just fine. All of my existing audio just won't play at all.
I tried changing my interface and back in preferences, I've restarted both program and machine, but just this one alternative of this project (the current and most important of course) just won't play back audio. It even plays back in the wave editor window, just not in the sequence.

Random audio file playing

Hi! I've been having random audio files playing on my RAZR. It sounds like a video that automatically starts playing on websites. However, I'm not on the browser, have windows open, or even using the phone. I unlock the phone and there's nothing in the notification bar. No apps are open on the home screen.
My Alarm Clock Plus app will sometimes play an alarm after I've turned it off. Because there's nothing in the notification bar to stop the music, I have to shut down my phone to stop it. This may be an app bug but has anyone had random audio files playing?

Hi Es80
It sounds like that phone is possessed! Let's get this fixed! It sounds like it may be an application error. Please power the device on in safe mode and retest. Here's how:http://bit.ly/QfA8MZ
Please let me know if the issues persists.

.MTS files - Stereo playing back as mono

HUGE bone head move, hopfully someone has a resonably quick fix to offer.
Recorded video with the AF-100, .MTS file says stereo but only plays back in left channel.
Now after editing the project in an effort to fix the mistake,
In PPROcs5.5 I did the channel mapping to resolve this to stereo
so now those origanal .MTS files now play back as stereo.
Heres my problem.
In my haste to get this job edited I didn't pay attention to the audio tracks other than to sync the multiple cameras and tracks accordinly.
All of the origanal .MTS files were broken down into subclips , and those subclips are what are in the time line. (30 clips)
Those subclips do not allow me to change the channel mapping, the options are greyed out.
Is there a simple way to change these mono audio clips into stereo or at least play right & left or do I need to redo the whole project?
All resonable suggestions appreciated.

I think that what Harm was recommending was adding the appropriate Fill Left, or Fill Right Effect to get your 1-channel Audio Stream (in a 2-channel Clip), into both channels. Effects>Audio>Fill Left or Fill Right.
Good luck,
Hunt

Elements 9.03 with Windows XP - Only Audio Portion of Video Files Playing Back

I'm using Elements 9.03 with Windows XP. When I download videos from my Sony HandyCam, the video portion of the file does not play back, only audio. Is there a setting I can adjust or do I need to use a more recent version of Windows?

The video format may not be supported e.g. if AVCHD
If you ever consider upgrading your computer and software, you will get maximum benefit from the combo. Photoshop Elements + Premiere Elements. As well as being the best value for money, it supports all the modern formats and allows the burning of HD DVD’s and many other options, not possible in PSE alone.

How can I control whether or not an audio files plays when a slide starts?

I am putting together a course and have a welcome audio that plays automatically when the user begins the course. Since that slide has a list of the modules that will be in the course, I would also like to use it as one navigation option - click the "Menu" link on any slide and return to this page.
The problem: Every time the page is hit the audio plays.
The question: How can I set the audio so it only plays the first time the page is entered but not again?
I have created a variable called "PlayWelcomeAudio" and set it to "Y" initially, then have an Advanced Action script that changes the variable to "N" when it is clicked (progress through the course is linear so there is only one option available to the user at this point. Clicking that link opens the next page and sets "PlayWelcomeAudio" to "N".
I can see that the variable has been set correctly (when I start it is "Y" and when I come back it is "N") but I'm not seeing anyplace where I can set the audio file so it doesn't play.
I tried setting cpCmndMute to "1" but that didn't work because it is apparently a global setting and I didn't get any audio playing anywhere after that.
I'm not looking to pause the timeline or anything like that. I just want the audio to play the first time but not the second and subsequent times that page is hit.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks.
Michael

Attach your welcome audio to an object that is not seen (e.g. a highlight box set to 0%) and use your Advanced Actions and variables to HIDE this object ON SLIDE ENTER if the user returns to the same Menu slide at a later point in the course module.
This should mean that the first time the user gets to that slide, the audio will play. But all subsequent times they return to that slide, the object will be immediately hidden on entering the slide, which will mean that the audion does not play and all the user sees are the menu options.
Your alternate strategy would be to have two slides that look almost the same. The first one has the audio, and the second one doesn't. Your TOC item for Menu, and any other links in the project that point to the Menu, would go to the second slide without audio. The user will be none the wiser as long as you work out the navigation.

Mpeg audio not playing back correctly

I just upgraded to CS6 and am doing my first project in it.
I have a Sony HVR-Z1U camera which i recorded HDV to and have captured this into PPro using HDV capture settings
Here is the result of the capture
File Path: V:\HC2012\Show\Untitled Clip 04.mpeg
Type: MPEG Movie
File Size: 9.5 GB
Image Size: 1440 x 1080
Frame Rate: 29.97
Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
Total Duration: 00:51:54:21
Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.3333
When i try and play back the clip in CS6, the video comes out ok but the audio sounds like a chirp.
If i right clip the clip and say to edit in Audition, it sounds fine
If i play the file back from Explorer in Windows Media play it looks and sounds fine
If i import the same file into CS5.5 it plays both video and audio fine.
What am i doing wrong here?

Try clearing your media cache files and see if that fixes the issue. You can do so by going up top inside premiere and going to "edit>prefrences>media then click where it says "clean" under media cache datebase. This might fix the problem.

QuickTime movie made in QuickTime 7 audio not playing back in qt 10

I made a qt using qt 7 pro, H.264 with the AAC audio compressor and that qt will not play back audio in QuickTime 10 which is what my client has on his computer.

The point being here is that I rendered out a movie in QuickTime pro 7 and the audio isn't being resolved in QuickTime 10, even on my own computer.
Does the audio play correctly in the QT 7 Player? Have you determined if this is a playback or a conversion problem? I asked about the source file since some source compression formats will not convert the audio using QT 7 Pro. In a similar manner, some AAC data rate and sampling rate combinations are not supported on the Mac which is why QT is programmed to disallow their use. (Unfortunately, I do not know what would happen if a source file using such audio settings were to be used as a source for a QT 7 Pro conversion.)
How is this possible and should I just remove qt10 altogether?
As already indicated, there are a number of "normal" problems that could give these results. In addition, QT changes made as part of the most recent Lion OS update seem to have had adverse effects on QT 7 Pro features (as evidenced by the loss of the "loop" playback feature and "green screen" problems on some platforms). As to the removal of QT 10, the embedded structures cannot be removed without corrupting the operating system. And, while the QT X player can be removed/deleted, why bother since you can just as easily opt not to use it for manual playback and restoring it, should you later change your mind, may present a problem.
I am a professional editor, have been working on Macs since 1992 (Avid and FCP7) and have never had a compatibility problem like this before within the Mac environment.
Have you made any recent changes to your normal work flow that might account for this problem and is the problem consistently repeatable?

WAV files play back too fast

When I choose File->Open to open an AIFF, MP3 or other file in Audition CS6, it simply plays back at normal speed. However, when I open a WAV file, it plays back at double speed (voices become high-pitched). NOTE: The sample rate (44.1) and bit size settings match exactly. This is not a sample rate issue. The frame rate is NOT set to custom.
This happens only to WAV files. The platform Mac OS X 10.8.3. Any ideas?

For some reason the songs seem to play back faster than they should. Any ideas?
How much faster? Have you timed the playback speed with a stop watch and compared the actual duration with the duration (Time) in the browser?
If youtube plays back slower, it might be caused by the network.
I have only seen this on iTunes for Windows so far - you are not by any chance on Windows right now, are you?
Are you running the latest version of iTunes?
And do you have any non-standard Audio devices installed - look at System Preferences > Audio > Output ?
Did you install any Audio Drivers?
Also look at the Audio Devices in Audio MIDI setup (Applications > Utilities):
Check the Format for you output device if it is set to 441000 Hz (compare the setting to the sample rate you see on your songs in the iTunes Library).
If this setting is wrong, iTunes may try to playback at the wrong speed.

Change the volume of one audio file played in icm script

Hello,
Using the play external script element to simply play queue music (recorded as 10 minutes long), is there a way to adjust the volume of the audio being played within the script without having to re-record that specific audio file?
95% of our static audio is recorded fine and plays at the appropriate volume, but we have new queue music coming in all the time (with sales info, annoncements, etc.) that is different in volume from time to time and it would be nice to have an adjustment filter for playing that specific audio file and then adjust back to the default (if needed) afterward.
This would be much easier than asking our vendor to re-record over and over again until tested right.
Anything possible with this? Or would there be something on CVP that could control volume for one specific audio file?
Thanks for any info,
Greg

Even if CVP could control the volume on individual files (It can't, as far as I know), you're better off normalizing the file in Audacity as David mentioned. Having some server modify things on the fly is just wasting resources, why not adjust the file? Audacity is free and open source.
We record our voice prompts using a Unity Connections Voicemail box... Not the cleanest solution, but it works well for us as we have small global contact centers all in different regions, with different voices for each center. I make a habit of running all of my files through Audacity before putting them on media servers - otherwise I would potentially have prompts recorded at different times having different volumes depending on how "the voice" and Unity were doing that day, not to mention all the pops and clicks from using a sub-optimal recording solution. Normalize and the Envelope Tool are my best friends.

How do I get audio to play back while I'm capturing video?

I'm looking to add an audio file to my project and have it play back while I'm capturing video from my MacBook's camera. That way I won't have to worry about lining up the audio and video, everything will be in sync because I recorded the video that way. In the video I will be playing guitar to the audio file, so the audio and video need to be lined up perfectly.
Is this possible? Should I go about doing it another way?
Thanks

Hi there
Look in the Timeline. Specifically the area where the names appear on the left side. Now look at the bottom. There you should see a small speaker icon. My guess is that you have clicked it to mute it. Jumps right out and literally SCREAMS it's muted, no?
Please report that as an issue to Adobe. Ask for a clearer indication!
Cheers... Rick

Polyphonic audio files exported to individual mono audio files in FCP

I am working in audio post and can not work with polyphonic files. I need my FCP editor to export (they are currently using XML) the timeline audio as separate mono files, such that if a file in their timeline is polyphonic and has 4 audio files embedded I need them to be 4 mono files so that Pro Tools can work with them.
Any thoughts?

Just a thought (as no-one has responded) what about using soundtrack pro? First send the time line from FCP (in multitrack form) and then see if STP can deliver what you need.
I' be interested to know of other folks experience of polyphonic files. I've not had chance to play with them but there'll be that day. With a deadline...

.mpg audio not playing back...

Hi Folks! Got a little challenge for ya'll...
PPC 2.0 Dual Core with leopard. & QTpro 7.6.9
Mac Book 2.16 intel dual core running Tiger & QTpro 7.6.4
Both units have IDENTICAL FCP Studio 2 6.06. The compressor set ups/exports are exactly the same.
The only variable.... intel on tiger, and PPC on leopard.. MPG plays fine on intel with tiger, but not on PPC with leopard...
I used to be able to hear my mpg files on the ppc prior to leopard... and I did not upgrade my QT when intalling Leopard. Is this a variable anyone else has found? IS there an issue with Leopard or is this only a QT issue... I can't find a QT 7.6.9 upgrade to match these QT items to test this in stages... i also lost the use of Photoshop 7 with Leopard. This leads me to question if Leopard could be causing this audio issue as well. Just an assumption... As my Photoshop 7 works fine on Intel with Tiger as well... Clear as mud now?
When I export mpg clips in Compressor they do not show or play audio on the PPC with Leopard. I transfer them to the Intel with Tiger and they play fine... They also play back fine on my stations Ultra Nexxus playback system... Craziness abounds here... Has anyone regained their mpg and photoshop 7 with Lion? Just asking....
Any suggestions I'm not seeing? Thanks tons in advance...

What sort of MPEG files -1,2,3 or 4? Audio or video files?
Photoshop 7 is old. Photoshop 8 (CS1) works fine on Leopard.
Photoshop 7 is entirely PPC code and will not run on Lion under any circumstances.
There's no such thing as QuckTime 7.6.9 -at least not publicly.
7.6.6 is the latest version and Tiger doesn't qualify for it.

Audio is playing back too fast

In previewing, the audio plays fine for about 15 secs and
then starts playing back very fast (aka chipmunk sounding). Sounds
like sample rates got out of sync.
Suggestions?

Let's see if we can figure out the cause ... that might help
us with the "cure".
1) How are you listening to it - locally as in F4 preview?
Single-slide preview? From a remote location (web)? Locally after
publishing?
2) How many slides are covered during that 15 seconds of
"good" audio?
3) Same slides every time, or does it play well for only 15
seconds no matter which slide you start on?
4) How was the audio put
into the movie? Created by "narrative" during the recording
process? Imported from a 3rd party audio recorder - if so, what
format was it in when imported, WAV or MP3? Inserted manually
during editing, on a slide-by-slide basis?
5) What IS the sample rate and other "stats" for the audio
file(s)? *You can check this from the dialog at "Audio >
Advanced Audio" . . .
6) Is it Alvin? Theodore? Which chipmunk? And in fact, did a
chipmunk actually DO the audio??
Thanks for your added info - and your sense of humor . . .
Oh yes, and by the way, "Welcome" to the Captivate User
