Can't hear loop playback

Hi. I'm just starting out on Garageband and can't seem to hear loops in the loop browser. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks.

The loop browser has it's own little volume control at the bottom right, make sure that is turned up. Does GarageBand make noise if you use the on screen keyboard?

Garageband problem. Can't hear the playback.

I am sure it is recorded.
I set monitor as ON. I can see green wave on both track and lower middle section. Nothing can be heard during recording and when the recording is played back with or without earphone.
I can hear other things from this mac fine, no sound problem.
THanks.

glad you got it working!
(that's a useful place to set both inputs and outputs for your system).

Can I do looped playback on a single clip?

I'm trying to adjust audio settings, I can't get the clip to loop so I can adjust my audio changes as I listen, is this possible?

Thanks

X-Fi Elite Pro, can't hear PS2/X

Hello. I tried to search the forums, but I either searched poorly or I couldn't find a similar issue.
Here's the problem -- I can't hear either my PS2 or my Xbox using the Elite Pro on my PC.
Hardware:
[The good part]
PC does not have on-board audio for the motherboard (no need to flip a BIOS switch).
I have the SoundBlaster X-Fi Elite Pro PCI card plugged into an open PCI slot on the motherboard.
I installed the drivers from the CD as per the instructions. After the drivers are installed, and the reboot occurs, I can hear my normal PC sound perfectly through my headphones (I only have headphones. Speakers will come later).
Initial hardware check - PASS.
[The bad part]
I plug the two RCAs (Left/Right) from my PS2 into the back of the Elite Pro exterior console.
I plug my Xbox into the back of the exterior console as well, only this time into the optical input using Monster cabling.
That's what I have set up. No matter what I've tried as far as configurations go on the software side, I cannot hear these two devices. Either through the fancy-graphics Creative Console Launcher, or from XP (SP2)'s Control Panel > Sound options... I just can't hear anything (Playback or Recording options, Mute boxes, volume sliders, etc). I've also tried flipping the Aux2/Phono switch on the back of the exterior console and then trying everything I already tried all oer again.
I'm at a loss as to why I can't hear anything. I went to the store and picked up a RCA-to-Stereo converter and plugged the PS2 into the Microphone/Line-In port on the exterior console, and I could hear the PS2 through that. There are several reasons why that is an insufficient fix to my problem: ) I'd like to hook up the Xbox and PS2 at the same time. 2) I play World of Warcraft, and need the microphone slot freed up so that I can speak to my guild, and not have to crawl behind my machine every time I want to switch what I'm doing. 3) I paid for the Elite Pro specifically so that I could set all this up.
If anyone has any suggestions, by all means let me know!Message Edited by Gimpifier on 09--2006 09:48 PMMessage Edited by Gimpifier on 09--2006 09:49 PM

Ok, as you see in the picture, there are several mixer stri
ps.
All of them are related to the upper tabs. So:
The Inputs tab bares all the available inputs on your rack and PCI card (just Line In for the latter).
The Multi-Channel Wave tab bares all the outputs available on your rack and the PCI.
Those two tabs are the most important right now.
As I noted earlier, the problem occures either from a mute selection in the Auxiliary 2 strip or a 0% setting to the volume slider of the same strip. Otherwise, you are routing the Aux2 to an output not connected to your speakers. From what I see, no "Mute On" is apparent and you are routing every input to Front L/R Output. Have you tried plugging your headphones to Front L/R and select "2/2." as speakers?
You should also select the monitoring to "Recording" and not to "Playback" (found at the blue field, bottom right). This will enable you to see the input level for your recording source (Aux2 in your case, correctly selected by you).
Your speaker selection is set to "Headphones". Are they connected to the front output?
It might be better to do some troubleshooting. So:
What is the real problem?
No signal from Aux2 input?
No signal from the headphones output?
You say that:

The RCAs are li've and working. If I use the Stereo adapter, I can plug them into Mic-In/Line-In and I can hear them if I swap to Line-In. The problem is getting them to work as they are intended, so that I don't have to monkey behind the PC when I want RCA audio.
Can you be mor specific on this? Li've and working? You mean li've from the PS2? Get them to work as intended?

Can't hear recorded sound during video playback

I take a lot of videos of my kids. I have noticed lately that the volume is low or muffled...you can't hear what is being said even if they are screaming 6 inches away. I thought maybe something had gotten into the microphone, etc. I recorded a voice memo and on playback i could hear what was recorded just fine at a normal level. Now once I tried to record a video of my kids talking, it played back so low that i can't hear anything and that is with the volume turned wide open. Not really sure what this issue could be but if the volume works fine on voice memo wouldn't it work the same on video playback?

Can't hear double-tracked keyboard in playback

I recorded a piano track as a software instrument, and had no problems with hearing it in playback. Then, I duplicated the track and played the same thing. Now, when I try to play through the song, I can only hear one or the other, or neither. When I select one of the tracks and restart from the beginning I can hear it, but as soon as I deselect it, I can't hear it. I have gotten both to play, but only very briefly before one track cuts out. Is this a software bug, or am I missing some setting?

Thanks! I was racking my brain with this! where in
the menu is this feature? Or in the manual?
No problem. The menu is:
View > Audio Scrubbing
But as I say to any editor learning FCP, if you go to a menu item more than 3 times in 10 minutes... memorize the keystroke command. You'll get much quicker.
For a list of keyboard commands:
Help > Quick Reference
(although I almost never find anything quickly in that quide)
Good luck!

Can't hear myself talk - No mic playback - HS 1000 headset

I have a Creative Fatal1ty HS-1000 USB headset and I can not hear myself talk into the microphone. I have emailed tech support for the third time and they keep referring me to their help articles on the website but it doesn't help.
I have no option in the windows volume control to turn up or un-mute the mictophone in playback control.
Here's a screenshot...

I have the same exact problem. I also have XP.
I found the mic volume slider, it's the "Volume" button in the voice recording section. I have it turned all the way up, but still get nothing.
I installed all the latest drivers, Control Consoles, etc etc.
I was pretty much ready to give up.
Update: The microphone can be removed. It pulls straight out. That means, it may not have proper contact.
That was the case for me. I put it back in, and must've gotten it just right, because now it works. I guess the contacts are a bit touchy.
Anyway, If you're out there and getting nothing from the mic test, this may be your problem.

Rendering & Playback issues + can't hear audio when editing videoclip

Hi,
I have two issues.
#1: While editing my video, is there a way I can see the video and hear the sound at the same time? I've been trying to edit a video with no sound... very difficult to place a background for example at a specific time when I can't hear my voice, I can only see the video.
#2: After rendering, when playback in Quicktime for exemple, I can hear the sound but no video is playing. Why is that?
Thanks

Dont know why the last print screen is blury but it says:
Fomart: Windows Media
Output Windows MEdia Video 9
Include : Project Link
Output Audio: On
Post-Render Action - none

I connect my mic with an M-audio mobile pre usb device. When I try to record, I can see that my voice is recording but can't hear it during playback.

Hear your microphone or instrument as you play and record (monitoring)
You can hear, or monitor, input from an instrument or microphone in GarageBand while you play and record. When you turn on monitoring for a track, you hear the musical instrument or microphone connected to the track’s input. Monitoring lets you hear yourself play so that you can hear the part you want to record as well as the rest of the project.
You can turn on monitoring for a Real Instrument track or Electric Guitartrack from the track’s header, or in the Track Info pane. Electric Guitar tracks always show their monitoring buttons, and you can show monitoring buttons for Real Instrument tracks using a menu command. You can use monitoring with feedback protection to avoid feedback while you play.
Hide
To turn on monitoring in the track header:
Choose Track > “Show Monitoring for Real Instrument Tracks.”Monitor buttons appear in the headers of Real Instrument tracks. On tracks with monitoring turned on, the button lights yellow.
Click the Monitor button in the header of the track you want to use.
HideTo turn on monitoring in the Track Info pane:
Double-click the header of the Real Instrument or Electric Guitar track you want to turn on monitoring for.The Track Info pane opens.
From the Monitor pop-up menu, choose one of the following:
Choose Off to turn off monitoring. You can hear your instrument only while you record.
Choose On to turn on monitoring and protect against feedback.
Choose On (no feedback protection) to turn on monitoring without feedback protection. If the input level is too high, it may cause feedback (especially if you are using a microphone and listening to your project through your computer speakers).
For an Electric Guitar track, you can view the Monitor pop-up menu by clicking Edit, and then clicking the back side of the amp. The Monitor pop-up menu appears with the input controls below the stage.
You should usually turn off monitoring when you are not playing or singing. When monitoring is turned on, your computer can pick up output from your speakers or monitors, causing unwanted feedback. Using headphones rather than speakers to listen to your projects can help eliminate feedback.
If you select your computer’s built-in microphone as the audio input, in the Audio/MIDI pane of GarageBand preferences, monitoring is turned off for all Electric Guitar tracks to avoid unwanted noise.

I can see midi instruments in playback but can't hear them. How?

I have a Macbook Pro and I'm using Logic express for the first time.
I am recording guitar tracks and playing them back using an M-Audio firewire 410.
However when I try to do anything with a midi instrument I can't hear it at all. I'm seeing the notes that i hit on the keyboard appear in the track and I can see the light bumping up and down in time to the notes.
Yet at no point will ANY of the audio emerge for the midi instruments.
This all works fine with Garage band and Reason and the LE 7.2.3 download has been installed.
Any idea where I'm going wrong.

I am having the same problem or a similar problem. I'm running Logic Express 7.2.3. on an 800MHz PowerPC G4, using Mac OS X version 10.4.9. I've gone into Logic Pro > Preferences > Audio and the Core Audio Tab is checked "Enabled." I've entered notes as midi data on track 18 (Polysynth) and can see them on the score screen, and when I press "play" the verticle line moves across the notes but I hear nothing through the speakers attached to the computer. I've also tried the Caps Lock Keyboard and never get any sound through the speakers no matter which Audio Instrument I select. The only sound I've ever obtained from the program has been the clicks when the record button is pressed. I have been searching the manuel and Orren Morton's LOGIC PRO 7 POWER! but have found nothing that works. Any assistance that anyone can give will be appreciated.

Can't hear sounds.

Help! This one's weird! I'm new to Logic Express, but have been MIDI sequencing in Windows running Cakewalk for about 12 years, so not complete newbie. At the moment, due to building in my house, I can only use LE through the built in speaker, so thought I'd try to create a drum sequence in Ultrabeat. Fine, dragged my patterns to the arranger, made a short 16 bar sequence. I can hear it through MacBook's built in speaker when played back. Today I want to try out Apple loops, as have no way of inputting due to lack of space. I created new software track, chose a bass loop, dragged to the arranger and - I can still hear drum pattern, but no bass loop! I add that while I was browsing through I could hear the loop being previewed, just not in the arranger. Also, when I tried the caps lock keyboard that doesn't work. Sound in other apps, like the DVD Player is also OK.
I wonder if it has to do with the 8.0.2/Mac OS X 10.5.3 update that happened last night?
Hope someone helps.
Mark

Hmm. . . i set up my track exactly the way you described it, down to the instrument and everything. There won't be an "R" button because there aren't any in instrument tracks. The ES1 in blue means its active. . . when you deactivate it, the signal meter doesn't register any signal, but you're saying its active so that not the case. My track records and plays just fine. I honestly can't think of what it could be. Try bringing up the virtual keyboard by pressing CapsLock, hi light the track and play notes and see if you get sounds. Or even on your M-audio keyboard, if you're getting sound when you're playing it live, but not when you play it back after you've recorded it. . . and your track is set up the way you say it is, I honestly cannot think of why it wouldn't be playing back, unless you have a different output device set for playback. How are you monitoring output?

Can't hear the real instrument anymore

So I'm new to GB; I've been playing around this past week using the Blue Snowball USB-mic, which had been working nicely, to record vocal and acoustic guitar tracks. I also was playing around with using Apple loops to enhance my recordings. Last night, I downloaded the package wherein all the loops are made available to me in GB8. But now, I can't hear a live track I recorded for just one project, nor can I record anymore a live track and hear it in playback. It seems as though GB is recording the live input because I can see the waves, but I can't playback what I had just recorded.

Loop Playback enabled or disabled at a glance?

Can't find the way to understand at a glance if Loop Playback is enabled or disabled. Is it possible that FCPX lacks an option like this?

Yes. It's only visible in View>Playback. Use feedback to request it.

Loop playback

How do you have AA CS 5.5 begin playback again at the beginning of the song when it reachs the end of the song? Or a selected portion of the song continually play when it reaches the end of the selected part? I've searched the menus and can't find it. I hope this hasn't been removed. Thanks.

That will work OK but there used to be a menu selection for selecting loop playback and I didn't have to worry about it. It did it automatically. In all versions dating back to 1.5 as I recall. Maybe that is missing from the latest version. Thanks for your reply.

Iphone 4 during a call can't hear or be heard. But I know both the speakers and the phone call mic work fine.

I bought an iphone 4 and have been having multiple issues since the moment I got it. My biggest issue when I received it was that the noise cancellation mic didn't work. I sent it back to the people I bought it from to fix it and they fixed the other mic but not the noise cancellation mic. So I know that one doesn't work with apps, speaker phone, that sort of thing. I've been just dealing with it and using headphones with a mic on them.
Well once I put my sim card in and had to go through a huge debacle with AT&T to do it, I got a phone call and I couldn't hear anyone and they couldn't hear me. I tried switching it to speaker phone and using my headphones and still nothing. I first tried factory reset and network reset and it didn't do anything. So I tried the fix where you put a piece of cardboard in the phone and the other fix where you loosen and then re-tighten the grounding screw. Now I can hear the other person but only on speaker phone, the call is choppy, but I can hear them so progress! They still couldn't hear me. However, when I took the call off of speaker phone it was back to dead silence. I tried putting in my headphones to see if they could hear me, they still could not hear me even with the headphone mic. I'm not sure what else I can do!! I know the speakers and mic work because I listen to music and play games and I hear those and when recording on voice memo the mic and playback work fine.I also know that it isn't any issue with signal because it happens where ever I am, low signal or all 5 bars! I guess I'll try cleaning them and try putting a thicker piece of cardboard but I don't expect those to work. If you can help with any suggestions at all please let me know! I have been having the worst luck with this phone and i'm getting absolutely fed up.

Hey there RJOBoston,
Take a look the article below, it provides troubleshooting tips that should resolve the issue you’re running into with not being able to hear or be heard on calls.
