Buzzing and Echo Sound After Recording

Hello,
I am hearing a buzzing and echo sound in the background after I record a project on Captivate 4. I am using a USB DYNEX Microphone that is connected to the Laptop. Adjusted the Volumne in Captivate but does not elemintate the background noise. Any suggestions???
Thanks

Have you looked for environmental noises, both electrical and audible?
Here are some possible culprits for induced electrical "buzz" or "hum." These "noises" are actually created by electrical interference in the recording equipment, and don't become apparent until playback:
Fluorescent strip lighting.
AC power cords near the microphone cable.
Mic cable near CRT displays.
Other electronic devices where you are recording.
If you're using a laptop, I find I have better luck running on battery power when recording, though I'm not clear if this is because of the power source, or because power-save features kick in that make the machine quieter.
Another possibility is real audio noise that you mentally tune out when you're in the room, but hear when you listen to playback. Some ones I've run into:
Ventilation noise. Particularly if you're recording in a building where you work all the time, you don't hear the ventilation system unless you really stop to listen for it.
Small electronic devices -- fans, projectors, etc. that might be in the room.
Also, play around with microphone position relative to your mouth; it's possible that the source of the racket is your own breath!!
Good luck!!

No sound after recording but i see the notes on Logic

No sound after recording with my Keyboard. My keyboard make the sound when i record it but after there is no playback i see the notes on Logic but nothing. And if i try to copy or cut and paste the part i record from the keyboard it work after..i really don't understand!

Does it say Midi Ch 1 in the event list for the Midi region you recorded?
This is most likely to be User error... but to identify what exactly.... and to rule out any corrupted settings in LPX..
Try trashing Logic's preferences and CS prefs as per this support note.
Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
Restart the computer.
if that doesn't fix things then...
Which Software instrument (SI) are you trying to play?
You do have a SI loaded in yes?
You are using an Instrument Track yes?
You are not usimg an external Instrument track are you?
If you drag an Audio loop from the loop browser to an Audio track.. can you hear sound on playback?
Please post a screenshot of your arrange window showing the channel strip for the track you recorded midi to... That will help us see how you have set things up.

Some kind of flutter echo/strange sound after recording dj mix via ASIO over USB

Hi, I was recording a DJ mix and it sounded fine thru the speakers, but once I finished I played back the recorded file to check it out.. I had this problem once or twice before but it happens rarely. I don't know how it happens, but it makes the whole mix unusable. Can anyone explain what's happening and maybe there's a way to fix it? I uploaded a sample here:http://soundcloud.com/aquinox/ffed-up-mix-sample THANKS!

Help! I only hear clean electric guitar while recording, and amp/effects after recording!

I have my electric guitar plugged into an Apogee Duet (driver is up to date with Yosemite). After track is setup with effects, in an audio track or in a guitar preset track (I tried both), I can play and hear the guitar clean tones only without the effects I have put on the track, even though I have chosen guitar effects, like amp, pedals, etc... Only after recording during playback, not pre, can i hear the effects I have chosen. Why is this? So pre recording and during recording, a clean tone. Play back the track, it's all there with the amp and sounds I have chosen. Frustrated.

Excuse this short reply, rehearsal in 30 minutes.
It sounds like you need to first turn off the Direct monitoring of the Interface. Most audio interfaces have a "direct no-latency" monitoring that actually takes place before the audio even goes to Logic, it's done within the interface. Different companies have different names for it, low-latency monitoring, direct monitoring....etc.
Next, open Logic's Preferences and I think with Logic-X it's under the General tab (everything I'm describing will be under the general or devices tabs).
Select Software monitoring, make sure you I/O buffer setting is at 128. Lower buffer settings mean less latency but use more CPU.

Buzzing and Popping audio after exporting from Premiere cs 5.5

When I export a video out of Premiere Pro cs5.5, the audio has non stop buzzing and popping. I have exported hundred of videos in the past (I am a videographer) and never had this problem. I usually export high quality mov files with h.264 codecs. I have not switched computers or set ups. I run a Mac 3.4 GHz intel Core i7, with an AMD radeon HD, and I save all my files through a 6 terra lacie external hard drive--I don't think power is the problem. I tried exporting at lower quality, but that didn't solve the problem. I have now tried 4 times... can anyone PLEASE HELP?! I need to get this video to a client...

I suppose you could do it that way, but if you export to soundtrack from FCP's sequence, it "round trips"... i.e. as you change things in Soundtrack, FCP get's updated with the changes.

No sound after recording MIDI using cycle mode take folder

I'm going through the Apple Certified training book "Logic Pro 9 and Logic Express 9". My project and global settings are pretty close to what comes with Logic when you install them. I.e. I haven't been messing with any settings not explicitly described in the book.
I'm at the chapter on MIDI recording, and am learning about MIDI cycle recording to a take folder. (I've already done this successfully for audio.) But, Logic does not seem to be behaving the way the book describes. I have recorded 3 takes. I see a MIDI take folder region after I've recorded, and I can double-click or click the arrow on the top left to reveal the 3 takes. All 3 take regions are white - as though none are selected. The region in the actual track (the take folder) above all three takes is green. When I try to play, in any combination (ie, Soloed, not soloed, other tracks all muted, no tracks muted) I cannot hear the MIDI take. I tried selecting the three different takes, both by clicking on them, and choosing from the drop down menu on the top-right of the take folder. I see the notes in the take folder display (the one that is green) changing when I select a different take, but the takes themselves always stay white. Although, the region header for the take becomes darker, as though the region is being selected, but the region is not green.
Is there something I'm missing here? Why can't I hear anything from these takes? I can open up each take in the Piano Roll editor, and click on the keyboard keys to hear notes, as well as clicking on the notes themselves and hear those. But when playing, I get no sound.
I tried "flattening" this take folder. It creates 3 new tracks below the current track. All regions are again white, and clicking on them does not make them turn green. I can play, and I hear all three takes playing at the same time. If I try to mute one of the tracks, ALL three tracks become muted, as though the mute button has been grouped to all these tracks. But I looked at the mixer and do not see any other channels have been created, not even for these new tracks. And they have not been assigned to a group either.
I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if this is a known bug?

I tried this again on the same track, a few bars away. It worked this time. I've tried it 3 times now, and each time worked as expected. So I'm thinking this is a bug in Logic that caused the problems the first time?
The "white" takes are muted >>regions<<, not tracks.
You should be able to unmute (demute?) then using the "mute" tool.
And... I believe you are correct, this is a bug in Logic that's been around for a while.

Imovie not playing sound after recording

I recorded a video using imovie and when I play it back there is no sound. I have adjusted all the volumes etc and nothing seems to be working.

No worries, you're not the first... I've seen some posters who didn't even know that switch existed, much less what setting it was on. We all learn stuff every day.

Tinny sound after recording

I'm on a year-old iMac, and I just used Audio Hijack to record some streaming audio off the web. Now that I've saved that audio clip and closed the program, the entirety of my iMac's audio sounds tinny and low quality -- that includes iTunes, Quicktime, audio off the web (i.e. Apple Movie Trailers). I've tried closing and restarting all programs, and restarted my computer as well -- all to no avail.
Is there a setting in Leopard that could've been changed somehow using a third-party audio recording program? Thanks in advance...

I found this link about third party applications changing audio output settings:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2178?viewlocale=en_US
I went in, saw my external speakers had been set at 16000HZ. I changed them back to 44100HZ, reset my iTunes, and voila! Thanks for your response.

Macbook Pro BIOS requires at least 1 minute before the Apple logo appears and Chime sounds.

When I cold-boot my MacBook Pro, it takes a least 1 minute before I get the chime and Apple logo.
Some background on the problem:
After purchase I almost immediately installed Windows 7 on BootCamp and had no problems.
Around 8 months ago I bought a SSD drive and CD-bay kit, put the original HD into the CD bay and the SSD in place of the original HD, installed OSX on the SSD and formatted the original OSX partition, this broke the Windows install.
I tried in vain for around 2 months to repair the Windows partition without having to reinstall it to no avail, so I swapped the positions of the drives.
Since then the Windows & OSX partitions work fine, however from a cold boot it takes upwards of 1 minute before the Apple logo appears and Chime sounds, after that it behaves as expected (maybe 20-30 seconds and I'm fully booted).
Performing a soft restart behaves as expected too (Chime/Logo appear almost immediately and boot time is lightening fast!).
When I close the lid, it exhibits a similar problem in that it takes about 1 minute before it has gone to sleep and I can't do anything to wake it until that time has past.
It's not the end of the world, but it is slightly annoying, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
My guess is some kind of EFI/BIOS problem, but I can't find any other examples of this problem and have no idea how I might fix.

When in OS X go into System Preferences and Select Startup Disk. Then select the OS X entry, even though you are in OS X, and reboot.
Some times the hardware gets confused as to which OS to boot and figuring it out can take some time. Once you select the OS X partition as the OS to boot to it should startup faster.
If not then you have some other problem that I am not familiar with.
You might also want to do a SMC reset, Google for the instructions found on the Apple KB site.

I was trying to make a new screen recording using quicktimeplay, but when I watched the video after recording it all I could hear was me talking while the video was showing on the screen. How do I turn off that recording and turn the right one on? thanks

Hi j2399123,
It sounds like your screen recording is doing what it was designed to do, capture what is happening on your screen, with optional voice over with the microphone.
Screen recording is for recording what you see on the screen, it is not a "video capture" option, like for capturing a movie with sound that is playing on your screen.
For the QuickTime recording options, check out "Recording with QuickTime Player" in
Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4024
And for screen recording specifically, there's
QuickTime Player 10.x: Record your computer’s screen

Thank you for thinking of Apple Support Communities for your support needs.

I want to record a keybord connected by usb in an IMac and only sound like an ambient microphone. What is wrong?

I want to record a keyboard connected by usb port and only sound like an ambient microphone. What configuration is wrong? Thank you

The optimum choice is to format it ExFAT, but do so on the PC, not the Mac. Alternatively, you can make two partitions - one for the Mac; one for the PC. Partition the drive using GUID when you make the two partitions. Format one using Mac OS Extended, Journaled. Format the other on your PC using NTFS if you won't need to write to it from the OS X side or use ExFAT if you do.
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to two. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) you will use for Windows from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to MSDOS.
6. Click on the Erase button.
When you connect the drive to your PC reformat the PC volume to either NTFS or ExFAT.
