Audio Tracks Not Sounding

Hello,
I have several clips (and audio tracks) in a sequence that won't play audio all the sudden. I have no idea why. The problem audio tracks are darkened, and play fine outside the sequence. I'm working in FCP v. 6.0.1.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? I can't find anything in the manuals -- any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Therese

Hi Therese,
Make sure your audio tracks are not muted. On the left of the tracks there are green buttons for muting, toggling them will mute/unmute your audio.
Also, if you have an icon of a tiny pair of headphones to the left of these buttons make sure these are not enabled (showing orange).

Video and audio tracks not synchronized after importing

When I try to watch a video in quicktime or itunes video and audio tracks not synchronized. If I wach on another player they are synced. Anyone help?

John:
Thanks for your reply. Excuse my referring to you as "Kevin". I'm new to the Adobe Community. I have also referenced another article which is seemingly a bit easier to fix for such a non-technical woman like myself. I'm going to try both solutions. Whichever works I'll be sure to reply to the thread with my findings. I found this article which provides the following solution: http://blog.flickharrison.com/2012/04/problem-solving-in-adobe-premiere-audio-glitches-and -sync/

Audio tracks not lined up and no sound

For some reason my audio tracks for my clips are on different tracks. Most are on a5/a6 and a3/a4 - those play with sound. The audio on a1/a2 is not heard when I play the clip??? When I try to move the audio to different tracks it messes up my video.
What I want to do is either figure out how to get the audio on a1/a2 to be heard OR move the audio to tracks that I know work without moving the video.
Can anyone help?

No mute. Maybe the tracks are off - but I don't think so? I have a screen capture -- although I cannot figure out how to add that to the post - can you do that???
the only thing that is different is that the source for the ones that don't work A1/A2 havea source of a1/a2 that is connected. Even if I 'break apart' the a1 from the A1 and the a2 from the A2 still no sound...

Monitor audio tracks not currently being captured?

While logging and/or capturing, I would like to be able to hear what's going on in an audio track I have not currently selected for log or capture. This way, I can keep an eye -or rather ear- on whether the sound man added a second mic between takes or something interesting has developed with the boom audio.
It appears as if I can only monitor what I've selected to log or capture in the Audio portion of the Clip Settings tab of the Log and Capture tool. Is that true? If I think I don't want it, I don't get to hear it?

That is the FIREWIRE feed. There are still audio outputs on the back of the deck. If there are more than two, you are in luck. If there aren't, then SOL.

Multiple audio tracks not showing up on iphone video.

I created my video in iMovie '09 v. 8.0.6
I have two audio tracks, one person talking in the video and another being a background track. The video exports fine. The audio works when I play on the computer and after I have uploaded to my kickstarter site. When I try to play the video back from the kickstarter page on my iphone or ipad it only plays the background music, no audio from the person talking in the video. HOWEVER, if I plug in the headphones and listen it sounds fine.
What is the deal? Is there some setting I am missing when exporting that will allow both audio channels to play on the iphone external speaker?
Thanks.

I was having the same issue too. I was hoping that apple will address this issue with a SW update or at least someone from apple would be kind enough to answer this thread.
After researching for a couple days I found a solution. It's not the most efficient, but it works. You'll need a CD-R or CD-RW with this method. The trick is you need to convert m4p file format to mpa or mp3 file format.
You can follow the following steps:
1. Open iTunes
2. Create a New Playlist: File -> New Playlist
3. Drag the song(s) to the playlist you just created. Note: Depending on the file size you might only be able to burn just 1 song at a time
4. Insert a Blank CD to your disk drive.
5. Right click on the playlist then click "Burn Playlist to Disk." Then click burn. Make sure the Disc format is set to Audio CD.
6. Once the disc is finished, click on the CD in the device section in iTunes. Right click the song and click "Create AAC Version." This will create a .mpa file into your iTunes.
7. Copy that file to your iPhone and you're golden
Hope this helps guys. I know it's not the most elegant solution, but it works and now you can workout with those tunes. I know I've been quite frustrated because my tracks didn't show up, hopefully the new SW update will fix this.
I would appreciate any apple genius' solution that is more efficient as well.
Cheers

Audio Track Not Changing CS3 Encore Preview

I have done this before (it has been a few months) and I hope I am missing something obvious. I have 1 timeline with 19 avi's from PPCS3 with their related audio on Audio 1 track. I have added music on Audio 2. Everything plays fine in the monitor when I select either Audio 1 or 2 with the little speaker on the left side of the timeline. My main menu has a button to select a submenu that has two buttons - one for game sounds (soccer games) and one for music. I have used specify link and choose the appropriate audio track and link back to the main menu. Just for fun (after I could not get the music to play in preview) I added a subtitle track 1 that contains the artist and song title (my first attempt at subtitles) and this works fine when music is selected (and not when you select game sound since I set subtitle track to 0), but in preview it is stuck on Audio 1 and even when I change manually in preview to Audio 2 - Audio 1 keeps playing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Bob

Took a hint from another post that preview does not always work. This is the first time I have had this problem, but I usually come to Encore by way of export from PPCS3. I built to folder and it played like I wanted with software. Now I will finish the project and feel confident that it will work.
Just in case anyone is reading this, I had another error that it took me a few minutes to figure out in this project. The default location for chapters was too close to the beginning of a chapter and that chapter would not play even though the build check said there were no errors. I hope some of these problems are not in CS5.

Audio tracks not playing

A really odd thing keeps happening to me.
When I open my Logic projects it often doesn't play all the audio tracks. If I double-click a region and open it in sample editor I can play it from there but still it doesn't play the track in arrange. And the weird thing is it's not always the same track.
Has this happened to anyone else? It doesn't even bounce the tracks offline, the tracks are absolutely mute.

do they play when moved to another track?
are they light gray in color? select track or segment and hit the m key.
are they assigned to a bus?

Audio Tracks not showing in itunes.

Dear All
After transferring audio tracks to itunes library I am manually dragging them to my ipod shuffle and the songs are shown in the shuffle but when I am deleting the tracks from the itunes library then nothing is shown in the ipod shuffle folder of itunes but the settings tab shows the amount of space used and the songs are present in the ipod as I can play them. I am not able to manage or change the sequence of song in shuffle since it is not shown in the device folder of itunes.How will I be able to see the list of songs presently transferred in my ipod shuffle if I delete them from the itunes library ?
Help please.
Thank you.

Actually I dont keep my audio tracks in my Hard Drive but its in DVDs and CDs. Therefore I import them into the itunes library and transfer them to shuffle manually and then delete them from the itunes library.
When I am deleting them from my itunes library I cannot see them in the shuffle folder though I can play all the songs in ipod shuffle.This problem does not happen in my Ipod classic 160GB.
Help Please.
Shuffle works differently from the "Ipod classic 160GB". There is NO additional help for this issue.

Audio track not playing back (appears greyed out)...

I just recorded a bass part and the region appears in the track with Audio Data but doesn't play back within the context of the song (arrange window), but does play when I double-click the region and scrub through the Audio window. The region appears greyed out in the Arrange window. It's really weird because everything else plays fine including loops I am using in the other Audio tracks.

Sounds like the region may be muted. Try using the mute tool and click on the region to unmute (or select the region and type 'm' on your keyboard).
Hope it helps...

Additional audio tracks not showing up in my movie library. Thoughts?

I have movies in both .mp4 and .m4v format with multiple audio tracks (all AAC 96kbps; 48kHz - video is .h264). When imported into iTunes, I cannot choose the alternate video tracks. However, i know that they work, because I check them in both VLC and Plex and everything is as it should be. I have made sure that the formats meets the specs of both iTunes and the AppleTV 3rd generation (which displays the same issue).
I have accomplished this in iTunes a few weeks ago successfully so I am not sure what I am doing wrong this time. My goal is to build a collection with available audio commentaries. I am starting to Winder if iTunes holds a limit on audio track in a video. For instance - The Matrix has an addition 4 audio commentary tracks.
I remuxed all of these myself and have a history in digital video production. If anyone has any suggestions for something simple (or not) that I may be overlooking I would greatly appreciate your input.
Thank you!

Quicktime file with corrected audio track not working with iWeb Gallery

Hello Everyone,
I shot a video and accidentally recorded on one audio track only (posted in another post). I've fixed the audio in Quicktime Pro by selecting the audio track (track 1) onto track 2 and hence I've got "fake" stereo or mono audio. The QuickTime file plays perfectly on my desktop. The audio is coming through both channels, as well.
Now, my problem is that when I've tried to upload the file to my iLife '08 iWeb site, the audio is back to one channel again. The video plays beautifully, however. I even uploaded the QuickTime file to my iDisk and from there to my web gallery through iLife '06. Still, the audio is only coming through on one track.
Hmm, is there a setting in QuickTime Pro that I might have missed after I "fixed" the audio? Like I said, the file plays perfectly on my desktop. I've even burned the file to DVD and it plays perfectly on my home DVD player. Somehow along the upload process the 2nd audio track is dropped. Any advice is very much appreciated.
Frustrated in Texas,
-Jack

Hello QuickTimeKirk,
Thanks for all of your advice and to the others who have chimed in with their input. My audio problem is solved. The problem with one of the audio tracks getting dropped once the QuickTime file was uploaded to my Web Gallery has been fixed. I had to re-export the original QuickTime File and somehow the tracks corrected themselves. I believe they were canceling themselves out the first time. Weird.
Now, however, I see that I'm getting the blue Quicktime symbol when I open the URL. It takes about a minute (at least with my cable connection) for the poster frame to show up. I did flatten the file and have it set to play automatically. See what you get on your end: http://web.mac.com/honeybear7/Site/Movie.html if you don't mind. This is just a test page, so this is not the final presentation. The window size of the movie, however, is set.
What is the best possible setting I can have the file set on for it to play the quickest? I know much of it is dependent on the connection speed. This also is not a small file. It's 214 Mb, but it's a 40 minute movie and looks okay on the web. Having burned it on DVD as a 2.9 gig file it, of course, looks much better with no blocking. I originally shot it with an HD Canon camera.
Any more advice is greatly appreciated. Have a great weekend.

Record button only available for AUDIO TRACK, not for AUDIO INST.

Hi -- For some reason Logic Express 7.1.1 is only giving me the opportunity to record enable tracks that are AUDIO TRACKS. All of my other tracks (mainly software synths) using the AUDIO INSTRUMENTS don't have the ability to record.
I opened previous files where I'd recorded on these tracks, but even on older files, the option still is not there.
Any thoughts?
As for setup, I just have an MAudio keystaton attached via USB, and it's playing the software instruments fine. Also, I sometimes have an MBox hooked up (although not right now.) I updated this recently for TIGER, and I didn't know if this messed it up.
Powerbook G4, 1.5 GHz Mac OS X (10.4.5)

don't know if on Logic express there's the key command 'Capture Last Take as Recording'.
If yes,during playback you can play anything you like on your keyboard and by pressing the keys that you have assigned for this key command you can have everything that you played as events on the specific audio instrument as if you were in record mode.
If you move the SPL the new information will delete the previous one.

Copy / Paste Audio track not functional?

I have Quicktime 7 with the MPEG option. I can open mpeg-2 video files and edit them. I can open mpeg audio files but I can not edit them.
How do I take an Mpeg audio track and add it to an Mpeg video track?
I tried to folow the instructions here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=QuickTime%20Player/7.0/en/c3qt7.htm l
However, at step 2 where it states "Edit * Copy", the option is not available. I can madly click all I want on the greyed option but it doesn't copy the audio track.

Adrian. I apologize for the bum advice. I bounce back between the Mac and Windows pages and sometimes fail to notice where I am.
The MPEG editing features are the same for both the Mac and PC versions. QuickTime can't edit muxed track files. It never could.
There are some known issues (Mac side anyway) about AC3 audio. The third party codec isn't properly supported by QuickTime 7.0.2.
There is probably a PC software that works similar to MPEG Streamclip.

Foreign Dialogue Subtitles in English Audio Track not working

I just bought Ocean's 13 HD in iTunes/iCloud. How can I get iTunes to display the foreign dialouge substitles that are in the English audio track?
I also have the Bluray, and these subtitles display fine when at time the movie is set in Mexico.
I don't want subtitles or closed captions to display all the time, I just want the foriegn language dialouge to display just like as in the Bluray version.
help!!!!

Seriously no reply?

Multicam - audio track not indicating source

In CS6 I could keep track of which audio track I was using in a multi-cam edit by the indicators on the audio part of the clip - MC1, MC2 etc
This is no longer a part of CC, only the video component shows the camera source.
Is there any way of getting the indicators back on the audio?
Multicam in CC does do some odd things occasionally with audio, changing the audio source sometimes even though I have 'multi-camera audio follows video' deselected

If you're talking about the source select tabs, in order for them to show there has to be a clip with audio loaded in the Viewer window.
