Audio levels not sticking when I reopen FCPX

Some of my audio levels are dropping 3 or 4 dB when I launch FCPX after it has been closed for a while. Then, at some point after I have gone through and adjusted the bad levels, they adjust themselves again and are now 3 or 4 dB hot.
The audio isn’t all in the Storyline, some is narration without video and other is audio linked to video. The only “effects” I have added to the audio is to make it “Dual Mono” and set the pan to “Default.”
As I write this, I discovered that if I went to ONE of the clips in question and changed it to Stereo and then back to Dual mono and also changed the pan to None and then back to Default, ALL the bad audio levels in the project corrected themselves. (Not sure if just making one of those adjustments will do the same thing - I’ll try that the next time this problem crops up.)
VERY STRANGE.
I’m posting in hopes this will help others who may be having the same problem.

Not sure why such weird behavior occurs (Could it be caused by some corrupted preferences therefore trashing them could solve the problem?). however, as a work around have you tried to copy and paste attributes from the audio clip in sequence 1 to the audio clip in sequence 2? That should give you the same keyframes you had in the copied clip (Original sequence).

Audio levels not retained when pasting clips into another timeline

I have FCP 5.1.4
When I copy audio clips with keyframed levels and paste into another timeline, the levels are all messed up upon pasting.
What's the deal? Anyone see this before?

How can I get my ES2 loops to play correctly? I keep getting the message that the audio is not found when I drag the loops from my audio browser even though they play fine in the preview.

How can I get my ES2 loops to play correctly? I keep getting the message that the audio is not found when I drag the loops from my audio browser even though they play fine in the preview.

It's exactly as I stated. Whenever I try to drag these kinds of loops (ESX24 / software instrument loops? the ones marked in green with the white music note next to them) from the loop browser into the timeline a message comes up saying Audio Not Found for that loop. And a new track is created automatically when loops are dragged into the timeline, so I'm not creating some other random / synth instrument track so I'm not sure what the deal is... But perhaps I'll try creating a software instrument track first and then drag the loop into that track and see what happens - maybe there's something with the default settings that automatically creates audio tracks whenever loops are imported?

I get error "audio format not compatable" when downloading music from the itunes store

I get error "audio format not compatable" when syncing ipod classic. Music purchased from itunes store.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
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 item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

Audio levels go wacky when I export to AIF file?

I am working on a 13 minute multitrack project in Soundtrack Pro. I went through and set all the levels, then I export it to an AIF file and put it back into my Final Cut Pro project. Once I export, there are three scenes in which the audio levels go completely wacky - some places are at a lower level than what I set and other places are at a higher level than I set. I then go back into STP and when I listen back at those scenes these new wacky levels show up in STP. I then close STP and reopen and lo and behold the levels I orginally set (that I was very happy with) are back in place like nothing ever happned.
Some notes on what it might have to do with: All three of these scenes were shot using 2 Lav mics. These were each set into it's own channel on the Handy recorder. In STP, each lav channel is in it's own track. The audio level settings that I like for these two channels are very different (one actor was much quieter than the other). It almost seems as if in the export STP wants to put Channel 2 at the same level I have Channel 1 - which I don't want.
I have been spinning my wheels for hours trying to fix this. Anybody out there have any ideas or solutions or workarounds?
Much obliged for any help!
Michelle

This problem has also been plaguing me today. Here are my specifics and how I solved it (Expanding on what Quentin Holmes mentioned)
CONFIRMED WORK AROUND! The .m4v file gets created while encoding, but Adobe Media Encoder does not re-pack it back into the .mp4 unless you select the "Export Audio" in Adobe Premier export prior to queuing. If you don't want audio, mute the individual tracks and still export audio.
My details:
Just bought a GH4, shooting 4k 25fps MOV, trying to simply trim a few clips and export them as H.264 .mp4 with no audio. (By the way it would be nice if we could export 4k .MOV files from the camera back into .MOV once finished editing, but in premier that frame resolution is not supported)
Specs: Mac Mini, Quad Core i7, 16GB Ram, OSX 10.9.4, Adobe Premier Pro CS6 6.0.5, Adobe Media Encoder 6.0.2.81
Hope that helps anyone with the same prob

Changes made in Book Module do not "stick" when the book has been duplicated

Lr 5.2 stand-alone version (not CC) – Win 7 64-bit
I had made a duplicate of the book (right-click the book Collection and select <Duplicate>). Then I made changes to the original book – changed the font for captions and for body; changed the wording of the body text; changed the padding for images. At some point in the process these changes did not '”stick” anymore. The changes were visible as long as I worked in the Book Module. But the changes were gone and the book reverted to the previous state as soon as I went to the Library and back to the Book Module. Same thing happened when I closed Lr and re-opened it.
Replacing the Preference File did not change this behavior. But when I deleted the duplicate book the behavior of Lr went back to “normal”, i.e. the changes now “stick”.
In my opinion there must be a bug that prevents that changes “stick” when after a Duplicate of a book has been created.

You're not the only one using TCS1. I, too, must endure Adobe's initial FM-RH Integration software offering with its limited patches and multiple workarounds (I don't sound bitter, do I?).
Do you have the latest patches?
When you say you modified titles in your FM book, did you modify the document titles from the book file, thereby changing the file names? Or did you change heading styles within a FM document/chapter?
If you changed the file name in any way, verify in the RH Project Manager that all links to the referenced FM files are not broken. If any file links are broken, you can resolve them in the RH Project Manager.
Changing a heading name within a FM document should not cause you this grief, as long as the file links between FM and RH remain intact.
As I don't know your level of experience, I'll make an suggestion to someone new to FM-RH integration (although, since you're using TCS1, I presume you are an experienced user). When updating the RH project, are you selecting Force Update or Update All. Force Update applies changes made in FM to your RH project. Update All only applies changes made in RH.
Also, RH has a feature that allows you to select specific topics to ignore when running a Force Update (i.e. changes in FM won't be applied to the selected topics). Make sure no topics are selected for this purpose.
If all else fails (and I don't recommend this unless you tried every other possibility), delete and re-import the book. There's another thread that helps you through this process without you having to manually reapply your settings.
Good luck!

Master Audio Level Not Showing

My individual audio levels show but the master is on and off. When I get it, I can't figure out how I got it. Any ideas?
Scot

with me, I was trouble shooting Premiere CC 2014.2's inability for proper 5.1 sound mix.
I can hear all audio tracks fine, and all tracks display in the audio mixer except for the master is displayed intermittantly. It makes for trouble shooting Premiere's inability 2014.2 to properly map the Lfe channel pretty tough when the master 5.1 track will not display.
WIth 2014.2 the Lfe bleeds into the left front track.
I have trouble shot this (along with many others) before and got nowhere. A recent awakening of one of those threads had me retrace my frustrating attempts. Further frustrated when I could hear the Lfe being bled into the front left channel, knew it was bleeding, but could not see any channel in the master output, only could see input channels.
my trouble shooting was diverted into just getting the master audio track to display the 6 channel output of the 5.1 audio.
After actually locking in the master audio output display, all attempts were futile to achieve proper 5.1 audio mapping.
I paste a link to one of the many threads here.

Audio jack not working when cover closed and hdmi connected

Pavillion Sleekbook 14 (14-b017cl)
Windows 8
I have an external monitor connected via the hdmi port. My external monitor does not have built in speakers. I connect an external speaker via the headphone jack. I can play audio fine if the notebook cover is open. As soon as I close the notebook cover, the audio stops. How can I get the audio to still be sent to my external speakers with the cover closed?
I have my power settings set to "Do Nothing" when lid is closed. I don't know what else to try?
Thanks for your help.

What is the status of the TV when the lid is closed? Does the image remain as it should?
Try installing this audio driver as it was released after the launch of Windows 8.
What program is playing the audio? For example, a music player or movie program? Is there no audio in any program when this happens?

Audio devices not working when upgraded to windows 7

Dear Community members and Lenovo...
After uggrading my Lenovo N100 0768 54A from Windows Vista Home premium to Windows 7 Home premium, As some of our friends put up here, audio is not functioning. The mixer shows balancing in sound, the device driver shows, working, but the audio problem is still not resolved even after 3 weeks. I am really fedup with the audio driver installation over three weeks. The drivers tried, are both from lenovo site and realtek site. Still I could not solve the problem.
When upgarded from Win-XP to Windows Vista, realtek was not functioning, through our forum some of our friends suggested to install soundmax driver which was working well then. Now, Audio is the only problem. could Lenovo solve my problem. Some more community members could please help me out.
thanking you,

Hi:
While trying to help you, I was looking along the same lines as you were (I assume).
I did a search by the IDT 92HD73E audio codec and all I could find were drivers for system boards with Intel processors such as the driver you tried unsuccessfully.
I have finally found a W8.1 driver for that codec from a desktop PC with an AMD processor and chipset.
See if this one works...

Audio/Video Not Synchro when capturing

Hi,
I'm having an audio/video synchronization problem when capturing HDV material onto IMovie. There is probably a 1/2 sec delay. How can I resolve this problem?
First thing iMOVIE says: Cpsturing HD at 3/4 SPEED. Should I worry about this?
I have updated my Imovie and camcorder settings according to my sony camcorder instructions. Camcorder: SONY HVR A1E.
Your thoughts?

First, make sure your camera is exporting with 16 bit sound and not 12 bit.

Why is my audio out of sync when I reopen the project?

Hi,
Newbie question:
I've synced my audio and video in the timeline, and linked everything, saved, etc, but when I reopen the project the next time I work on it, the audio is off again by a few frames.
I can't figure out why this is happening. What step(s) am I missing?

These are the details of my audio recording

Energy saver settings do not stick when set in system preferences

For some reason when I restore the default settings for the energy saver settings, the settings go back to a custom setting I set months prior of Display Sleep at 1 minute.
Here is what I am doing:
Going to "System Preferences"
Going to "Energy Saver"
Pressing the button "Restore Defaults"
Everything goes back to the default settings of Computer Sleep of 10 minutes and Display Sleep of 10 minutes and I close the window out.
Problem happens: A bit later I come back to my iMac and wake it up, the setting is back to 1 minute of Display Sleep (which I did months ago, I no longer want that).
I have even locked the setting to prevent further changes. Which locks the settings in place like it should I believe. However, once the iMac sleeps and I wake it up in a couple of hours it switches back to the old setting I made months ago, 1 minute of Display Sleep, which I no longer want.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

i have the opposite problem... i would like to use custom Energy Saver settings but they will not "stick." instead they keep returning to the default settings. i followed the advice on this thread, thinking it might solve my problem too. but it did not. any suggestions?
i had one hunch - that it might have something to do with the file of same name but with ~orig at the end (see image below). should i remove the other file as well?
thanks!
