Audio Tracks Soloing By Themselves

I am having a problem with Logic Pro 9. Different audio tracks are soloing randomly during playback. I would grateful for any assistance. Thanks again.

What I mean is in the automation window I can see it soloin by itelf. But there is no automation that I have penciled in. Futhermore I've just disccovered that it solo's by itself only on an audio track that is selected. It happens if I'm on an audio track both in the arrange window and in the mixer.
Please if you have an answers I would be grateful.
Thanks again....

Audio tracks go out of pitch then return mysteriously

Quite a mystery: for some unusual reason I found when I booted my Intel iMac duo core and started Logic Pro 7, then played a project; the audio tracks (vocal's) were out of pitch.
I adjusted them using a manual plug in and found a reasonable pitch at -97.
For some strange reason the audio tracks later readjusted themselves back to their original pitch.
I note: I did not change the tempo of these tracks as Im aware that would put the audio tracks out of pitch

If I burn a CD I usually change from 44.1 to 16 bit, not sure if this caused the problem ?

Audio tracks mysteriously go out of pitch

This relates to my earlier question:
My operating system and Logic Pro application are on my iMac and, my project/songs are on my external hard drive.
I found that when I connect my external hard drive to a different computer; Mac G4,at another studio, my audio (vocal) tracks have gone out of pitch however, on most occassions are still in correct original pitch.
I have also found that when I reconnect my external hard drive back to my iMac that the audio tracks are out of pitch on some occassions but, still in original pitch most of the time.
I compensated using a mono plug in set at -97, this corrected the problem to some degree.
Quite mysteriously, the audio tracks re set themselves back to the original true pitch without any logical reason.
I note: I did not adjust the tempo of the project as Im aware this would cause this type of problem.
So far, this is a mystery, quite worrying if Ive taken my external hard drive to another studio and found I can not use my tracks because of this unusual problem.

Disappearing Audio Tracks

Anyone else suffered from audio tracks randomly deleting themselves? It's happened to me twice in a week now - admittedly working on quite a complex project synced to video but still seems strange that the audio should just delete itself.
The files were a combination of loops from the loop browser and recorded audio.
Automation remained however.
Any advice as to the source of this problem would be gratefully received!

Soloed Audio Tracks Won't Play Logic 9.1.8 - Background Still Does

I have a 59 track session in Logic 9.1.8. I've encountered a very odd problem. Multiple audio tracks, even when soloed, will not play; however background audio/other tracks still do. For instance, I've imported a rough vocal track to the mix and when I solo the track, I do not the vocals however I hear kick drum and piano tracks which have been muted. I have double checked every audio track's output, automation, etc…and read several other posts to try and find anyone with a similar issue, to no avail.
Some specs - the majority of the tracks are imported Audio, I have attempted to solve the issue from my MacBook Pro (2013) AND from my studio system. All of the audio and session information are stored on our dropbox server, however other projects still work fine.
Here's where it gets super weird - I even tried started the session over again and just importing in the audio tracks from scratch and there is STILL a problem - I imported 5 of the drum tracks - kick, hat, snare, taiko, and noise percussion. When I solo the taiko track, I hear the audio from the kick track and NO AUDIO from the taiko track, and this is a BRAND NEW SESSION.
Someone PLEASE HELP.

In Logic's preferences/Audio... Is Universal Track Mode enabled? It should be.

Using avid m-audio fast track and avid m-audio fast track solo together

I Wanted to use avid m-audio fast track and avid m-audio fast track solo together so that I can get 4 inputs
i I tried to select it, but could enable any one only. How can I use them together??

You can use only one device at a time I Logic. However, in the Audio MIDI Setup utility (Applications>Utilities) you can create an aggregate device, which effectively combines multiple devices into one "virtual" device, which you can then choose in Logics' coreaudio device setup.

Missing Audio track controls (fader, solo, mute, sends, inserts etc...)

After doing a "save as project" I ended up with 2 big problems. When I pull the song off the CDR and open it up on my computer the controls for some audio tracks are missing. I lose anything having to do with track control such as input, output, fade, solo, pan, inserts, buses, mute, record. The only thing i can see is the group assignment and automation pull down menus. The other problem i have is that i have to manually relink all the audio files. Why can't the session file find the audio files??? They are all in the audio files folder right next to the session file. Arg. i am running logic pro 7 and the computer that the "save project" was completed on is running logic 6 express 6.4.0.

I'll take a stab at it.
Sounds like your parameters are not viewed. In the arrange window menus - there should be a view menu and it allows you select what things to see for each track.
Maybe view parameters or view channel strip only settings may help.
Not sitting in front of Logic at the moment.
May have something to do with goign from L6 to L7,but i'm only guessing on that one.
hope this helps

Crashes due to soloing audio tracks?

Has anybody else experienced problems with Premiere having a hard time dealing with soloing and muting audio tracks? We've been having periodic crashes throughout our project and we're narrowing down the problems as much as we can. We're using 4K multi cam sequences with three cameras, which is already a beast for the computers to handle, but we're working on the most recent iMac and a new Mac Pro. Both with 24G RAM. The problem most likely has something to do with Premiere and not the computers. We're thinking either corrupt media/project, or it's something to do with the audio mixer having trouble with soloing and muting.
Does this sound familiar to anyone else?

Hi Nathan,
This is the first I've heard of this. Can you please file a bug report? http://adobe.ly/ReportBug
It will be read by our staff and we will try to replicate the issue to provide a fix.
Hopefully, others pushing 3 or more 4K streams using multicam on the new Mac Pro can report back, as well.
Thanks,
Kevin

Why I have to mute Audio Voice Recording Track always in order to subdue the voice recorded when I want to solo other tracks, audio or midi for listening.The other audio tracks don't sound without being muted. Please advise how to deal with this .Thanks

Why I have to mute the Audio Voice recording track ( the first voice track ) always in order to sudue its recorded sound while I want to listen to other
tracks ( either audio or midi tracks ) in solo ?The other audio tracks with voice recording do not have to be muted in order not to interfere with other
tracks turned on solo. Can someone kindly explain this phenomenon and any way to fix this ?
Thanks
Dan

Thanks, ATR,
I wll try this--but I still am unclear on how to do what the Manual says is possible: select clips on another track that WILL be moved, if I so desire, so as to remain synched to the main Video track.
UPDATE:
In the case of inserting Freeze Frame, I just tried both Ctrl method and Alt method, and neither worked.
1. Put Video on Vid1 track
2. Put Music on Sound Track
3. Ran a few seconds of Vid
4. Stopped Vid, selected Freeze Frame
5. Held down Ctrl key while clicking "Insert in Movie" also tried with holding down Alt key.
Result: a 3 second still was inserted int the Vid1 track. A corresponding gap was created in the Sound Track.
6. Slid the final part of the Sound Track to the left along the timeline to re-connect it to the next segment created by the above process.
Result: the video following the final Freeze Frame was pushed to the right end of Video1 track.
7. Slid the Sound Track all the way to the left.
Result: the entire Video 1 Track contents were pushed to the right and divided in pieces.
I documented each step with screen shots which I can send if you want them and if I can figure out how to do it.
UPDATE #2
In the case of inserting a video clip to the Timeline, I just tried both Ctrl method and Alt method, and neither worked.
1. Locate video in Project Assets
2a. R click video in Project Assets (pull-down menu appears), hold down Ctrl, click Insert to Timeline.
Result: Vid clip is inserted on Video 1 track, Sound Track is separated with a corresponding gap.
2b. R click video in Project Assets (pull-down menu appears), push Alt
Result: pull-down menu disappears as soon as Alt is pushed down.
I can stil drag the Vid clip but it's one more manual step...I love shortcuts!!

Recording mono tracks with m-audio firewire solo

I am having a devil of a time recording tracks (both xlr mic and 1/4" guitar input) to right and left channel...when I unclick stereo setting on track recording I don't get a level.
After I have recorded a voice or instrument in one channel I can't copy the track and bounce it to the other channel using the pan...what can I do? Is it the firewire solo that is messing this up or am I missing a setting?
I just want to be able to record mono voiceovers and guitar tracks in left and right channels in with soundtrack loops using a firewire audio interface.
Thanks...

Mac OS X (10.4.8)

My problem is pretty much the same except that I can get it to work with my microphone (which is channel 1).
(M-Audio Firewire solo)
From the recording tab I select firewire solo multichannel as the input) and i UN click stereo.
When using the microphone (channel 1) it works - I get a mono recording on a given track.
When I use the guitar (channel 2) it does not work.
(Note that, if I select stereo and play the guitar it works, but only records in one stereo channel and I want it to just record mono).
(Also note that I can get it to work in garage band where, for inputs you have the options of 1/2 stereo, 3/4 stereo, 1 mono, 2 mono, 3 mono, or 4 mono - all I have to do is select 2 mono and I can record from the guitar using mono).
So the problem is that I can get sound track pro to record from channel 1 mono, but not channel 2 since I can't find any setting, similar to garage band, where I can specify which channel to get the mono signal from and, I guess, by default it does it from channel 2.
I've been struggling with this and combing the web for ever and can't seem to find an answer for how to change this simple setting.

Audio track gone solo?

So, I was just happily editing my movie when my cat ran across the keyboard. From now on, all my audio except the ones in the "narration" track don't play. It's as if my cat pressed something and made just the audio track turn solo. I'm a fairly advanced user on premiere so I tried all the audio mixing options, resetting preferences, checking the files properties, checking the audio gain and so on. I tried restarting premiere as well, but nothing changed. Any ideas of what has happened...? Thanks in advance. Oh, and I should add that if I move other audio to the narrations track, it plays.

Thinking about the Audio issue, we have ruled out a Mute setting in the Audio Mixer, but let's take a quick look on the Timeline, for the "muted" Audio, please. However, I would like to look at the Audio Mixer one more time. This time, play your Timeline, and watch the sliders for all Tracks. Do they all remain at about 0 dB, or do they move, or perhaps remain at a negative setting? The Audio Mixer will show the Track Audio settings, and the dB responses for those Tracks.
Also, looking at one of the Clips, that has no sound, when on certain Tracks, with the Clip Keyframe Display set to Volume, where is the orange line ("rubberband") - the one that runs THROUGH the Clip? Is that Volume line down at the bottom of the Clip, or up at about the 75% position?
This image shows the line, that I am referring to:
While it would be tough to drag that line down (lowering the Volume) with kitty on the keyboard, it's easy to accidently do, if one clicks on certain areas of a Clip.
Now, I think that we will probably rule this out too, as the Volume "rubberband" control would be on a Clip-by-Clip basis, and you seem to have Track issues.
Just thinking about possibilities.
Good luck,
Hunt

Audio tracks move around by themselves after I render!

I've been using keyframes to alter the volume of audio tracks. When I render the audio, I find that either the track itself I'm working on - or totally unrelated tracks - gets chopped up and in the wrong order, as if somebody had "cut and pasted" different parts of the clip and dumped them down in the wrong place!
This is extremely irritating and has all the signs of a bug. Is that the case, or am I doing something wrong?
Please help as I have a tight deadline and was not expecting something so crazy to happen via simple volume editing!
Thanks.
p.s. why can't I choose Final Cut Express on the product list?

You really need to provide the info that Mr. Wolsky requested to get a good answer.
Certainly the difference is sampling rate is a problem, but to advise you correctly more information is needed - to make sure you are using video with a codec and frame rate that is appropriate for FCE.
If you are using video directly from a DSLR,, for example, in H.264 at 24fps, then you have additional problems that can cause the symptoms you are reporting.
If it is to much info for you to type, then select a source clip in the browser and type Command+9, then take a screen shot of the item properties and post the screen shot here.
Do the same with your sequence.

Stereo Audio tracks unlinking themselves ...

Hi All,
I'm still using FCP HD 4.5.
My stereo audio tracks are automatically unlinking from each other and becoming separate mono tracks. I'm not unlinking them, they just suddenly started doing this on their own. I'm having to go back, highlight the two mono tracks, and click option-L to get them back to a stereo pair.
In some of these cases i have unlinked the audio track from it's video track (APPLE-L), but not in all cases. Either way, i can't figure why this would make a stereo audio track unlink itself into two mono tracks.
Ideas? (Besides upgrading my version of FCP)
Paul

You do not say if this in your timeline. You probably have the link button depressed or undepressed.
Check that first.

Audio Tracks will not play

Hi there,
I'm using FCP 7 for a project that was originally edited in Final Cut 6 (I had to switch to 7 because BOTH my computers at home have crashed today which use FCP6, now I'm up at my office and have to use 7 - bad day, I know).
I'm trying to do some sound edits and only one audio track is playing (tracks 3 and 4) which are the source audio from the XDCAM Footage (note, these tracks have not been soloed - if that's a word). All my other tracks are not working. When played they produce no sound, but the audio meters to the right are moving. When played in quicktime, iTunes, or Finder they do indeed still work.
Audio Output has been set to Default, though I've also tried Built-in Audio Output. I'm using headphones, but it also does not play through the computer. I've also tried speakers. All other audio on the computer is fine - my volume is up.
Sometimes I can get tracks one and two to play after re-rendering.
RT is set to Unlimited, but it also doesn't work with Safe RT.
Any insight into this issue would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Go to Sequence Settings...then the AUDIO TAB. How many tracks of audio do you have? More than 2 and STEREO?
If you right-click on the track patch area on the timeline, you can assign these tracks to audio ouputs...are they set to anything other than 1 or 2?

How can I export an audio track with just the effect signal without the audio?

I want to export dry audio tracks and their effects signals as separate tracks. For instance a track with a reverbed snare would be one track with the dry snare and one with just the reverb.
I know from people who use Reason that it's just a box you need to tick, but I'm struggling to find out how to do it in Logic. Surely it must be a way?

I don't remember Reason being that straight forward, but the obvious way to go, is to mute all sends and bounce.
Then solo the reverb channel, in aux, checking it isn't shared by other sources, and bounce. You should have a dry and a reverbed signal, at your convenience.
