Audio regions in new tracks play back in other tracks...

Hey, I was looking around for help with logic express 8 and I can't seem to find a solution to this issue, so I hope someone can help on here!
I have been recording a song and I got to double tracking the first guitar riff. But for some reason the new tracks I record always play in the first one - if I solo the first track, it will play the original audio from there, as well as the new recording from the new track, somehow layered over it. I've tried using more tracks but they all seem to layer themselves onto the other tracks too.
It's quite hard to explain so sorry if it is not very clear. There is no evidence of the new recording being in the first track - the waveforms aren't visibly layered or anything. It basically seems as though I have somehow routed all new tracks to playback through any previous tracks along with the new track.
Again, sorry if this is unclear! I am just getting to grips with Logic, so I do have relatively limited knowledge, although I have never had this problem before. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Control-click the track icon or name of your tracks and check that they aren't assigned to the same audio channel - that's the only reason I can think of that would cause this to happen. You may have duplicated the track, rather than creating a new one, possibly?

  • How to get audio output of my instrument while playing back the other tracks?

    I do not hear any audio signal from my bass guitar while playing along the other tracks in Logic. I can only hear the audio output of my bass while I record or stop the music. How can I change the settings so that I can play along and hear myself while I practice? The track for bass is not muted and is getting a strong input signal.

  • Audio tracks play back wrong audio

    at some point in my mix sessions , in different sessions , one of my audio tracks starts playing back audio from both its channel and another channel simultaineously. there not always adjacent tracks , not assigned to the same voice and have seemingly nothing in common. if i change voices i can sometimes allieviate the problem or it will start playing a different track audio simultaineously. i have two records pending and need some immediate help please...

    D,
    Just to warn you (or throw some experience in). Logic 7 has for me, operated poorly with sessions created from older versions of Logic. It is often fine if you just want to duck in and grab something but the sessions do go weird if you just keep using them they go batty and can often get kind of self destructive.
    Updating/merging/replacing the environment is one of the first steps to take, just creating new updated objects helps, even using presets and channel strips from older versions seem to give problems. Copying objects and configurations over can give you different results, but basically the more you replace and create as new the less problems you'll have.
    So you know you have alot of reworking to do if you really want to do alot of work with these in the current version. Determine where a good transition point would be and try to follow with that. Often mixing or sooner than later but plan on taking some time reworking things. It's almost easiest to just grab everything and paste it over into a 7 built autoload-without the plugins. Audio Objects and plugin instances seem to give alot of problems. I usually end up redoing a bunch of stuff if I have a ways to go and export away. Things really get fixed along the way but it is a pain and better to do it sooner. Unless you're coming up on a mixing stage or something soon I'd just do it (and keep a backup of the older versions just in case I want to retrieve something.
    I am working on an album that was created on a 6 autoload and 12 of 13 tracks had to be reformatted in 7 from forward INcompatabilities-some of them twice because they did not get a 100% clean autoload (as in the instruments and/or audio objects were opied over). Maybe I'm just weird, don't take only my word on this because it is alot of work for many projects to just redo things like this but you should be aware of what some people have encountered and be prepared to take some of those steps if there are more people saying their experience has been like this.
    Best of Luck

  • Live video capture while playing back another video track?

    Is it possible to capture live video while another video track is being played back? I would like to do this for multitrack video recording of music: a) record a video track, then b) record a second video track while listening to/watching the first. Exactly like multitrack recording of audio as in Garage Band, but with video.
    A similar question was asked here, but I want to avoid manual synchronization. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11712024&#11712024
    As an example, there are lots of multitrack videos on youtube, but you can often tell synchronization has been done manually as the audio and video are out of sync (even if only slightly):

    Many thanks!

    I'm not too familiar with video editing (yet), so please forgive me if I've misunderstood your suggestions. I think what I'm talking about would have to be done post (after shooting multiple video tracks?), and couldn't be done with video switching (live switching between multiple video feeds?). Here's a much better example of what I'm trying to do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGKErn2Zr88
    What it boils down to in my mind is precise synchronization of a new capture with something pre-recorded (be it audio or video). If no software can do this (yet), perhaps there's a way to do it with additional hardware, for example playing video on a monitor while simultaneously recording with a camera, assuming the devices can be synchronized somehow?
    Thanks!

  • 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.
     

  • Unable to play back real instrument tracks

    greetings - i've been working on a song in Garage Band for a couple of years. the back story is that this file has grown to 2.5GB in size (all my other GB files are a lot less). it has about 10 real instrument tracks and 6 software tracks. Yesterday while working on the file a strange thing started happening; the first (of 3) software piano track started playing back intermittently with a bunch of reverb; i had not requested that it have reverb. i tried removing reverb, i tried soloing and unsoloing, muting and unmuting, and sometimes that would get rid of the reverb. so that was anomaly #1 yesterday. Finally, after finishing the session and saving/ closing the file, i wanted to make a backup copy so did command-D. Possible anomaly #2: when the original file and the backup file names appeared in the window, i renamed both; then i realized that the Mac was still in the process of copying the file; so i don't know if that renaming introduced a problem. Once the backup was finished, i opened the file (and the backup file, subsequently), and the REAL instrument tracks (plus the first midi piano track i laid down) NO LONGER MAKE ANY SOUND. the software drums, flute, and pianos 2&3 play back;  the vocal sounds like the reverb is playing back but not the original track (i assigned basic female reverb to the vocal track). Everything visually still seems to be present in the file - all the details of instrument, level, pan, etc. but i'm getting no sound from the real instrument tracks or the 1st software piano track. i have TRIED all the suggestions for optimizing performance given in GB help. i am stuck and truly hope my arrangement will once again sound! many thanks in advance for any suggestions; Matthew Allen

    try toggling the Ducking menuItem, that's solved some similar issues

  • Audacity crashes when trying to listen to play back and current track.

    Hello,
    When I try to have a track recording and one playing back audacity crashes. When I try to listen to what i'm playing and record at the same time it also crashes. This is an arch 64 system, I get no errors dumped to a terminal or in the kernel logs but it does occasionally complain about some latency problem.
    Anybody had any trouble or have any ideas how to fix this. Or alternatively what's everybody else using for recording guitars etc.

    I've been using traverso-git 20090603-1 and have had no problems, x86_64 and Openbox.  But I only have maybe 2 hours total using it for recording, 10-15 minutes at a time.  I have enjoyed using it as an editor, with much more time on it.

  • How to reset the feature that allows audio and video tracks to snap to other tracks on timeline

    I have somehow disabled the feature that allows you to drag and snap video and audio tracks on the timeline to other tracks or positions of import.  It is only one project that has been affected, and all I can think of is that while performing some other keyboard shortcut, I accidentally perfromed a shortcut that diabled this feature. 

    You mean, "Snap?" Press 'S' on the keyboard, or press the magnet button in the Timeline panel.

  • Importing a project into PE 12 trial version, not all audio tracks play back!

    I'm trying the trial vesion of PE 12.  Imported a project that I had created with PE 9.  Everything appears to have been imported, including all the audio tracks.  But when i play it back, some of the audio tracks are completely muted, while others, are fine and I can hear it.
    Any idea what can cause this?

    With "muted" Audio Tracks, I would look at a few possibilities, and especailly with a Project created in an earlier version of PrE:
    Open Audio Mixer, and look to see if any Tracks are Muted.
    Play the Timeline, and observe the Levels in Audio Mixer, and also whether there is any movement of the "sliders" in Audio Mixer.
    Observe which Audio Tracks your Audio Clips are, in the Timeline, and report those please.
    Making sure that Keyframe Display is set to Volume in your Audio Clips, are there any Volume Keyframes?
    I am sure that others will have a few more ideas, and questions.
    Good luck,

  • How do I get the audio from the film to play back in Logic 8?

    I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I opened up a new project. Clicked on produce and the clicked on
    music for picture and then went to options and clicked on open movie. The movie loads in to logic. When I press play the film starts without the audio. I tried going into utilities and then to audio midi set up and switched the properties section to US-144 (tascam 144 interface) and still nothing. The movie plays for about a few seconds then stops and gives me this message: "Sample Rate 44100 recognized. Check conflict between Logic Pro and external device." What can I do? KGT

    hi
    you've 2 issues here, sample rate and audio from film.
    Re film audio, it's under options...
    Sample rate, do a forum search?
    SFLOGICNINJA has a great "How to" on working with film, google him.

  • Audio stops and starts when playing back in Premiere CC

    I've been having this problem for a while now thinking that an update would come along and solve the issue.
    Basically when I try to view what I've edited on the timeline the audio very annoyingly stops for a bit then comes back just to disappear again, on and off throughout the entire edit.
    I thought I would be able to cope but I cannot work like this.
    I've made a list with a few of the things I've tried to do to stop this from happening to not waste anytime.
    I thought it was perhaps coz my audio was a high quality wav. file so I converted to a 96kbps MP3. Still had a problem.
    Changed sequence settings to Apple Pro Res which was suggested from a previous thread. Still had a problem.
    Rendered just the audio. Still had a problem.
    Rendered the entire in and out point. Still had a problem.
    Played around with both audio hardware preferences (built in output & system default output + input). Still had a problem.
    Kept the project file on the local disk, with only media on a thunderbolt G-Tech drive, as suggested/mentioned in a previous thread. Still had a problem.
    I'm working from a Mac Pro with the following specs.
    Processor:   3,5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5
    Memory:   32 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 ECC
    Graphics:   AMD FirePro D500 3072 MB
    Please can someone help! This is extremely frustrating especially with the amount of deadlines I have at the moment!

  • Where did my audio go?IMOVIE wont play back audio

    It was there yesterday and just to test it I re checked the tape which did have audio then dropped a song in the timeline from itunes. No audio playback? for the life of me I can't figure out how to get it to play?

    Hi Paul:
    Two things possible I guess...
    *Is the little box checked at the end of the timeline (there
    are three and all should be checked to be sure)
    *You may have to play your song in itunes first before importing into imovie and if that doesn't do it, burn a CD and reimport from there.

  • Audio is fine but video plays back twice as fast???!!!!

    Any ideas on why my footage imports at double speed but the audio is at normal speed? I shot it with a canon HV40 at 24P in cinemode.

    Like I say, there are two 24 modes on that camera. Is your sequence set up for 24fps or 29.97? Whichever one it is, try the other and see if it makes a difference.
    What were your capture settings? You need to clarify that you've captured correctly (I'm not sure whether it's possible to capture 24fps material incorrectly as I've never tried).
    The basic thing you need to do is determine whether you shot native 24 or 24 converted in camera to 30, and work forward from there.
    You might find more experts on your camera and its settings over at [www.dvinfo.net]
