Audio pan issue?

This clip was recorded with one lav mic on the dance floor and one backup camera mic. So I've got them as a stereo pair for lack of a better plan. At one point, the audio drops out of the right side but I don't see it in the viewer pan settings. It fades back in shortly but the dropout is noticeable. I do see the waveform in the top clip, just a little smaller. Tried losing that side and making a stereo pair, but that would be a nightmare for this clip since I have a ton of tiny little audio clips from where the video was cut up, and I would have to go in and do join through edit on each one. Any idea what might be causing this issue? It could be the actual audio, but I don't think I did anything that would cause that. I'll check the source clip and see if the problem is there. maybe something weirded out when I was cutting up the video.

If it's in the waveform, it's in the media. Why would you have to go in and join a bunch of 'through edits.' If you have a lot of them then you can just overwrite the original piece of media (audio only if that's where the edits are). You can also single click a through edit and hit delete. Quicker than right click. <<<</div>
Yes that's right. I should have thought of that. Man! I think I've been staring at this #$%& project too long.
Thanks for the click and delete tip too.

  • Panning issues and seemingly random loss of all audio. ***.

    i've been using logic for a few years now, and i just created a new project exactly as i've done about 30+ times.... only for some reason none of the pan settings on the individual tracks are working.  the pan dial looks just like it normally does, except everything is mono, straight down the gorramn middle.  the one track that will allow panning is the output 1-2 track (and probably the master, although i didn't really mess with that one), but i don't think that having the entire audio field set slightly to the side will make this sound very great.
    also, i'm losing all audio for what seems an awful lot like no reason at all.  i press play and i can see everything moving as it should. each channel is doing it's thing and seems to be receiving, processing, and sending a signal, but i'm getting nothing in the headset.  i had to restart logic to regain audio.
    i appreciate any and all help, and i realize that the fault probably lies in my court as usual. 
    thanks

    @pancenter - nope. that is still checked.
    @chorleyman - out 1-2 is still in stereo, and now i've switched all the individual tracks to stereo just to be sure, but it doesn't seem to be helping.  let me describe my project a bit more.... i've got six guitar tracks, and all of them being bused to an aux.  that aux won't pan either, although if i hard pan it L or R and then hard pan an individual guitar track in the opposite direction, i hear nothing from that track.
    i've got one vox track bused to another aux. same story there.
    and i've also got two software instruments (a kick and a snare) that go straight to out1-2, and those won't pan either.
    let's see... other equipment... not a very extensive list.  for recording i used a usb guitar cable which i don't have plugged in for the mixdown, although the panning issues began before i unplugged that.
    other than that i have some headphones plugged into the headphone jack on the mac.
    regarding the loss of audio, i've gotten this message a few times, although it didn't pop up the first couple times i lost audio so i'm not sure the answer lies here:
    Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI.

  • Serious QT Player audio offset issue OS X/Win

    Hello,
    we are an animation studio for tv commercials in Germany working for advertisement agencies with over 15 years experience. The whole branch is mainly using Quicktime movies for presentations and approvals.
    Within our last project we figured out again that there's a serious audio offset issue by Quicktime which will give the whole approval and playout process a headache. Usually we encode in H.264 and these movies will be uploaded to a website or sent by email.
    The issue I am talking about is a very little desync of video and audio. We are talking about 3 frames delay of the picture. We found out that this is caused by the player only.
    Example: we have a picture sequence in After Effect and the audio file delivered by the sound studio which is perfectly mixed to the animation sequence. The After Effects RAM preview will play the whole movie perfectly as approved at the sound studio. When you export this to a Quicktime movie the Quicktime player result is different. Exactly 3 frames. Adjusting the audio track 3 frames forward will give you the right result.
    The main problem now is that you need to offset 3 frames to get sure that everyone will experience the correct audio/video on an Apple and Windows system (both tested here). For a playout to tape (station copy) or encoding in Flash, YouTube, Vimeo you need to deliver the version without the audio offset.
    If you use the 3 frames offset version for encoding in Flash, YouTube or Vimeo you will get a wrong result. This time the picture is running 3 frames behind. Playing the original Quicktime with another player like AFX RAM Player, VLC or Media Player Classic will show the correct result.
    We also downloaded a couple of Trailers and compared the original with a 3 frames audio offset version. The original ones look wrong in QT and the wrong ones look right. It's a player issue what has to be fixed asap by Apple. The question now is: where can I contact a qualified Apple support who will understand the problem? This has to be moved to the Apple development team.
    We googled the net and found discussions about the issue. But noone so far could work out that it's a Apple Player bug and not caused by other software. In one thread some users were sure that e.g. After Effects is exporting the wrong movie. It was recommended to move the audio in After Effects to get the right result. If you do so and believe and trust in the Quicktime Player you will export the wrong result and your TV Commercial's picture is 3 frames desynced to audio. Honestly this 3 frames offset is hard to recognize depending on the movie. But it's definitely an error what could cause a desaster if a commercial will be in a bugged version on-air.
    Any comments and questions are welcome. Feel free to contact me by email: [email protected]

    1. Check the cycle count of the battery against the rated life for your model. The battery may be due for replacement. If the power adapter is connected almost all the time, the battery may need replacing even though the cycle count is not too high.
    2. Follow these instructions, or these for OS X 10.8 or earlier.
    3. In the Energy Saver preference pane, uncheck the box marked
              Enable Power Nap while on battery power
    if it's shown (it may not be.)
    4. You can also try resetting the SMC.
    5. Make sure your system is up to date in Software Update.
    6. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

  • Audio input issue - No stereo... Right channel only.

    Hi
    First to thank you for taking the time to read and consider this if you do - any help in this would be hugely appreciated
    Ok - I'll try to make this as concise as poss but it needs some explanation:
    I'm home-recording hobbyist musician. One of the things I would very much like to use the iMac for is to back up old four-track tape recordings, recording them as wav or mp3 as the case maybe and saving them to my hdd. Easy right? Apparently not, so far... let me explain:
    On the tape recorder there is only an RCA stereo out (red and white, left and right). The very first thing I did when I got the iMac was download Audacity (the audio software), hooked up a stereo lead to the RCA outs on the tape recorder, and ran it into the line-in port on the iMac, using the 1/8" jack.
    Now, sound came in, but only the right channel. The left channel was completely dead (ie when I panned the audio to the left, or if there was a sound in the mix that was only in the left channel, it was absent).
    Since then I've bought Logic Pro and and an audio interface and this presents the EXACT same problem... Nothing in the left channel. (please note, I am aware you can "fake" stereo by setting a channel-strip to "mono" so that there is sound on both sides, but get this - it only splits the right channel in two - so you still don't have the left channel or genuine stereo signal frustratingly)
    It should be noted that stereo sound is not a general problem on the system. Stereo output is perfect (ie on itunes, cds, online etc - or if I'm using softsynths in Logic for instance) it is solely an AUDIO INPUT issue.
    Needless to say I've explored all options in sys prefs to no avail.
    It should also be noted that I have also tested the actual output of the tape recorder and used the same leads to line into a home stereo system no problems.
    Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about or how this could be resolved? I am even open to suggestions for peripheral equipment, sofware additions etc - any questions at all, just ask.
    Thanks again, any input would be welcome.
    EDIT: I also posted this in the general iMac forum. Posting here for people w specific audio knowledge thanks!

    Pancenter, thanks once again.
    Sorry about delay replying - have had an internet outage here just to add to my woes haha.
    Anyway, the good news is that I think I've cracked it:
    After updating the OS per your suggestion, uninstalling both Audacity and the m-audio (profire 610), and lastly resetting defaults on sys audio midi prefs I was still experiencing this problem - just on a line-in to Garageband. Pure frustration.
    So eventually I just elected (in lieu of chucking the hardware out the nearest window lol) to do a cold re-install of the OS (erase and install option, backup hdd done). As I bought the iMac in January the OS is 10.5.5 I think.
    After install, before doing anything else at all, I opened Garageband, set up an audio track and set input prefs to Line in Stereo 1/2 etc, and hooked up the tape unit via rca and the line-in port. The result? Perfect 2-channel stereo.
    My personal theory is that the problem was created by the audio interface installation - an m-audio "profire 610" - Tho Audio interfaces are a frickin minefield anyway between Macs and PCS, chipset compatabilities, dodgy beta drivers, worthless gadget-hawking etc etc... I also realised that while my first original attempt was on Audacity I had already installed the profire unit just immediately before (but didn't use it). I doubt it was Logic which is designed specifically for the mac - I feel this theory might be proven when I reinstall these.
    So there you go - get the Audio interface right it seems.. And I've got stereo audio.
    Thanks for your help and input Pancenter - much obliged.
    Peace.

  • Built-In Audio Panning L&R malfunctions, system prefs.

    I have noticed on my own Mac, as well as my peers' computers which include iBooks, PowerMacs, iMacs, and even a new MacBook pro, that the audio coming from the Built-in audio card will randomly be panned completely to the right, or the left.
    A quick troubleshoot will lead you to find that in the system preferences the panning slider is set to the right or left, an undesirable setting.
    All of the computers I mentioned are running the latest updated versions of Tiger, 10.4.6, and with the exception of my self running Pro Tools, none of the other computers mentioned are running any third party audio interfaces/cards or software that uses audio other than the applications included with Tiger: iTunes, iChat, Quicktime, Safari, etc.
    Unfortunately there is no Lock in the audio system preferences, which could potentially be a quick fix to the problem because if an application like iChat had a bug which caused audio panning, the lock in system prefs. would prevent that..
    I am quite boggled.
    question:
    What might be causing this, and is there a solution?

    Thanks for the response guys. It seems we're in the same boat.
    The problem is intermittent on my machine . It has occurred three times since I bought it. The fist time it lasted for a day and a half. I rang Apple support and went through a number of steps until the P-RAM suggestion which seemed to fix it. A few days later it disappeared again and resetting the P-RAM had no effect. My wife continued to use the computer (without sound) and some hours later it came back after a restart (she only restarted it because she is in the habit of shutting down instead of using sleep). The problem occurred again. That time I restarted the machine a number of times, with and without the external speakers plugged in, with them turned on and off etc. This had no effect. I gave up. Some time later my wife went to use the computer and it came back. I now believe that the P-RAM solution that seemed to fix the problem the first time was just a coincidence.
    I rang Apple support again and they gave me the following steps (A,B & C of which I went through the first time the problem occurred):
    A: Log in through another account and see if it had the same problem.
    - The built-in audio was still missing.
    B: Run the disk utility on the hard drive (after booting from installation DVD).
    - There were nil problems on the HD, but it did not fix the problem.
    C: Reset the P-RAM.
    - This worked the first time though it has not worked on subsequent re-occurrences of the problem.
    D: Do an Archive Reinstall.
    - I did this today; though the built-in audio was working, I just wanted to complete the suggestions the Apple support person gave me. The problem has not reoccurred yet, but it has only been a few hours. I will be using the computer as much as possible tonight to see if the problem reoccurs.
    If the problem reoccurs I'll be taking the machine in for warranty repairs, or better still replacement.

  • Audio synch issues in QT

    My project displays fine in PE8. No audio synch issues in the preview. After outputting the project to a quicktime movie withe LAN setting the audio becomes seems to run faster than the video, becoming more and more out of synch as the movie plays. Any ideas what might cause such an issue?

  • Lion Installed: Internal speakers muted and cannot be adjusted thru the audio pane.

    I installed Lion yesterday and spent considerable time looking for an online solution to no avail.
    The online info suggests to re-install the OS from the disk supplied with the laptop, but would be re-installing Snow Leopard... mmm
    The quick fix is the plug headphones into the audio jack and wait a few seconds. The audio pane becomes active as it should. Remove the
    headphones... the audio functions normally.
    If you turn the laptop off... you must repeat the process until a future release of Lion.

    Same problem here: I cannot control audio volume and Preference Panel said I've not an audio out device. the funny thing is that I can hear music from iTunes.
    I've tried also to reset PRAM.

  • Audio Pans Grayed Out

    Hey everyone,
    My audio pans are grayed out, not sure why. I never encountered this problem before and wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to un-gray them.
    Thanks,
    Rob

    To get audio from my pans I use Calphalon cookware...sorry
    I'm not clear on what you're asking about (ie panning from the timeline, panning from the Audio mixer).
    What I can suggest though is double clicking the audio track to launch it in the viewer where you will have a great deal of control with your pans.

  • Mouse panning issues in Flipview

    Hi,
    I have a problem in mouse panning issues in WinJS Flipview control.
    Here is my sample:
    https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=533F417A2E04AEC4!1009
    My problem is: I can zoom images in flipview and panning, zooming or scrolling them via finger touch.
    So, is there a simple way to enable mouse panning, scrolling?
    I think it is useless to zoom if the user cannot drag image by mouse if there is no touch device.
    Thanks so much.
    Nick

    I think adding MSGesture is a fine idea. What you're experiencing here is just a difference in the native workings of touch and mouse, so you have to manually compensate for these differences.
    Because panning and pinch/zoom in touch mode give you behaviors that are not directly translatable to mouse actions, the mouse does not interpret similar actions unless you ask it do.
    Panning with a finger is the most natural thing to expect for touchmode, but it does not directly translate into click and drag, and for that reason, mouse does not pan.  However, you can just add the event so that you get the same behavior.  It's
    extra work, but you have to take into account that not all developers want the same behavior.  For example, I expect that someone will say "I don't want to pan when I touch the screen, I want to draw a line, like I can with a mouse.  How do
    I disable this behavior?"
    I hope this clears things up for you.

  • 10.4.10 Audio Popping Issues: Information Check with Internal Speakers

    For people with internal speakers, or those without subwoofers: Please read all the way to the bottom to find a test that will determine whether you are also having audio problems, even if you can't hear pops.
    We've had a lot of discussion about audio popping due to 10.4.10, and the evidence indicates that the audio circuitry is going to sleep to conserve power, even on AC-only computers like the iMac, Mac Mini, and (at least one) Mac Pro. Some people claim to not have this problem, but I'm wondering if they just aren't noticing it.
    Having external speakers with a subwoofer, set to high amplification, are key to obvious detection of the problem. Let the sound subsystem go idle for 30+ seconds (wait a minute with no audio, just to be safe), turn up your external speakers really loud, and cause the computer to make a sound. You should hear a burst before the sound plays. If you repeat the sound, you won't hear the burst. This is the sound of the audio circuitry powering on, and the speakers are amplifying it.
    About 30 seconds after the sound finishes playing, if you leave the volume of your speakers turned way up, you should hear a "pop" as the circuitry is powered off. Then, playing another sound will recreate the burst.
    I haven't been able to hear these sounds with internal speakers, either on the Mini or iMac. But the problem still exists, and it is detectable... if you know what you are looking for.
    The burst of the audio circuitry turning on also causes a delay in the audio. The delay is a noticeable fraction of a second, an it can easily be detected if you have a repeatable source of sound. I like Terminal.app, because I use that application all day, every day. Here is how you can check to see if you are also subject to the audio problems:
    1. Start Terminal.app (in the /Applications/Utilities directory).
    2. Wait one minute for the audio circuitry to shut down.
    3. Without typing anything else, very quickly strike and release the Backspace key.
    4. If you pressed the key all the way, the program should have caused a beep. However, if the audio circuitry goes to sleep, the beep should occur after you have moved your hand off the key. This is because the circuitry takes time to power itself on before playing the sound.
    5. Now, quickly strike the Backspace key again. You should notice that the sound is produced immediately as you hit the key, without the delay you just witnessed.
    6. Strike the Backspace key repeatedly, to confirm that there is no audio delay. Do this about once every second or two. If you press the key too rapidly, not all of the presses will produce sounds... this behavior is not related to the issue we are testing.
    7. Wait another minute for the audio circuitry to shut down, and strike the Backspace key once more. You should again observe a delay between your strike and the sound production.
    If you witness delays like this, your audio circuitry is also going to sleep, and you are having the same audio problems as the rest of us. However, either because you are using internal speakers, or because your external speakers don't have the appropriate response, you aren't hearing the same bursts and pops as the rest of us.
    Please try this test, and report here. I want to build a list of people who previously couldn't hear the sounds, but still have the delay. This might give us a better picture of the scope of the problem.

    Re: 10.4.10 Audio Popping Issues: Information Check with Internal Speakers
    Your analysis of what is happening is right on.
    The problem on my Intel Mac mini with external Klipsch speakers (two mid-range/high and a subwoofer) is REAL obvious as the system emits a hum like a Spinal Tap amplifier turned up to #11 when 10.4.10 powers down the audio circuitry
    Then, if I play a song in iTunes, it first pops and the hum disappears right before playing.
    Quite annoying.
    Here's what I sent to Apple tech support:
    Guys/Gals (OS X Engineers):
    Concerning the Snap, Crackle Pop Audio problem in the 10.4.10 update:
    Please. Just do the right thing and fix the audio.
    There is no need to power cycle the audio subsystem to save .0005 amps on your laptops.
    And then to make your Mac mini/iMac/other desktop users have to put up with it when using AC power is ridiculous.
    Put the audio subsystem back like it was in 10.4.9 and let the laptop battery freaks looking for mini-amp savings get a "work-a-round".

  • Playback pauses and audio sync issues with live video stream

    I'm seeing playback pauses about every three seconds and audio sync issues with our live demo stream when using the OSMF/Strobe player.  It happens on both our 2Mbps 720p stream and our 480p 750Kbps stream so it does not seem to be related to higher resolution/bandwidth streams.  It also happens if I point directly to a stream asset or if I point to a .f4v with both streams listed for dynamic so it does not seem to be related to dynamic streaming specifically.
    The same live streams play back very well without pauses or audio sync issues in the Akamai's dynamic player and even slightly better with JW 5.2.
    I have viewed the OSMF/Strobe playback on three different laptops of various age (3 months to 2 years) and two are Windows and one is Linux.  I have also tried the various buffering options on the Flash Media Player Setup and Strobe setup and it has not made a noticeable difference.
    To see the stream with the Akamai player, go to:  http://live.kulabyte.com
    To see the stream with the OSMF/Strobe player, go to:  http://live.kulabyte.com/osmf
    I do not have JW set up for public viewing yet, but the two above show the distinct difference.
    We are really hoping to start pointing our customers towards the OSMF player because of the support provided by the community and Adobe, but we have to get the quality of the playback to be acceptable first.
    If someone has ideas on debugging I can PM the actual video assets to you.
    Thanks,
    Tim

    Hi Tim,
    You need to add this setting:
    dynamicStreamBufferTime=8
    The actual value can be higher or lower. The best practice is to use a value that is twice the keyframe distance. Anyway, try different values and see which performs the best for your content.
    I know that the setup page does not contain this option and it is not documented in the UserGuide. We simply missed it. Sorry.
    Also note that the dynamic buffering algorithms are not being used for dynamic streaming content. I tried to explain this here:
    https://sourceforge.net/adobe/smp/wiki/Dynamic%20Buffering/
    Looking forward to your confirmation that this solved your issue.

  • Panning issues in Premiere CC

    Something is wrong with the audio panning feature in Premiere pro CC:
    I've been panning my audio clips to the left and right for about a year now. never had a problem before today.
    On the sequence time line: Select the audio clip in A1
    in the "Audio Effects" window: pan the clip 100% left
    DITO clip in A2 but pan it 100% right
    Play the sequence: the "audio track mixer" shows Audio 1: left channel only. Audio 2 right channel only
    Today: after going thru the panning ritual: both channels play in Audio 1 and Audio 2 (not in a panned formation)
    So I repeated in a fresh CC Same result... closed/opend the project ... rebooted the computer ...same result
    moved the clips onto different tracks: got different results in the audio track mixer sometimes they showed panned sometimes not.
    So I tried muting a track: then the othre track showed panned. Just plain weird.
    So I repeated the procedure in CS6: no problem. everything was correct.
    So I repeated it yet again in CC: all messed up.. Whats going on?????

    Ok .. they are mono audio clips .. originally recorded as left and right.
    Therefore I want to pan them left and right just like I have done countless
    times. Please read my original post more carefully. It will save me
    repeating myself. Especially the part about: if I mute track A1 then A2
    shows the right side only. Then if I un-mute A1: A2 shows both left and
    right, even though it panned 100% to the right (actually it shows very
    slightly panned to the right... tell me thats not messed up!

  • Flv audio sync issues & player 9

    Greetings, I've been looking for a solution for weeks, and
    thought I'd give the forums a shot.
    I have a client site with 6 progressively downloaded flv
    clips that play when a button is clicked.
    The flv files are encoded with After Effects 6.5, and the swf
    files are published in Player 8.
    The video clips are made with an alpha channel of a guy
    talking and are about 30 sec to 1 minute long each.
    The problem is audio sync issues on certain computers during
    playback even when the files are completely buffered.
    The other problem is that these flv files won't play on
    computers that have player 9 loaded.
    I'm investigating whether there are audio sync issues when
    encoding flv files from AE 6.5, but still really
    confused about the player 9 issue. I was wondering if there
    are updates to 9 I can recommend to my client
    or if adobe knows of any bugs that are currently being looked
    into.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

    I may just be talking to myself here, but...
    Could there be any difference in the way an flv plays when
    you
    import the flv to the stage, as opposed to playing it
    dynamically
    using the NetStream class? Could this cause any audio sync
    issues? Does Flash Player 9 have any difficulties displaying
    flv files loaded dynamically?
    Any ideas from Adobe folks would be great. Thanks.

  • Quicktime audio sync issues

    Hello,
    I have quicktime version 10 (128).   I can't get anything to play in it without there being severe audio sync issues every time.  I can't figure out why.  Can someone please help me fix this problem? 
    When I export my movies from imovie to quicktime it will play in quicktime, properly and without sync issues, for a really short period of time - seconds.  But after that, the audio no longer matches the video.   I know it's an issue in QT because when I upload the video to YouTube there are no audio sync issues whatsoever.
    Help?
    Thank you so much,
    YahYah

    I am dissapointed to see that no one has addressed this issue. I have similar issues.
    The MP4's play perfectly in the quicktime player but in Premiere they are off by varying degrees sometimes up to a minute even. I had similar problems in the past with files from the same producer. However last time I was able to  change the extension before importing and then sync them up manually on the timeline. It worked everytime. This time however when I change the extension Premiere brings it in as an audio only file.
