Clicking on help menu causing audio engine to bug out

anyone having issues with logics audio engine bugging out after clicking on the top help menu while logic is playing? not sure how to explain what it sounds like when this happens but i have to reboot my audio engine for it to go away.... i primarily work at 96k and have tried all other sample rates and still get the same thing...

I started having this issue a while back (late December/early January) and have gone through several things but have yet to get a resolution. The latest was a technical support call with Apogee (I'm running a Symphony system). Their assessment was that the problem is not Apogee-related and lives within Logic.
The problem, on my system, can also be triggered by several other actions. For example, if I click the solo button on one track and then slide across the channel strip to solo a group of track I will get distorted audio. The workaround is to either restart Logic or go to preferences and make a change that forces a core audio reset. I have been able to work around the issue but it's still an issue and I'm hoping to find a solution that doesn't involve clean Logic re-install or even fresh OS install.
I looked all over trying to find other people having this issue. So far I've only managed to find a couple folks seeing this problem. Mostly, I just wanted to chime in and add to the list of users experiencing the issue and let you know that I'll gladly post any relevant information that I come across that will enable to us to solve the problem.

  • Need Audio help!  Interview audio won't play out to tape.

    My voiceover and Soundtrack audio sounds great, but my interviews sound terrible when I play out to DV to record to the camera.
    I checked the item properties and noticed that all the good audio is at 44.1khz while the "bad" audio is at 48khz.
    What can I do to make this play out?
    Thanks!

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    What is the sequence's audio format? It should be 48 kHz as it's standard in video editing software.
    Did you capture audio interview from camcorder? What is the audio sampling format in audio menu? (32 or 48 kHz, 12 or 16 bit?)
    The audio mixdown render may resolve this problem but it's always a good thing to resample each audio file to match the sequence sample rate:48 kHz.

  • HELP! Imported audio files now randomly out of sync!

    I cut a short film a while ago. It was shot on HDV. I used some in-camera audio (from the HDV tapes) but also, some audio files from my sound mixer, which I originally imported as WAV files and manually sunc them up. Everything was fine.
    Later, I outgrew the original media drive and upgraded, copying all of my media to the new drive. When I did that, I noticed that all of the camera audio was fine, but all of the audio that had been imported from those WAV files was randomly out of sync -- meaning that some files were 1 sec early, some 16 frames late, etc.
    When I broke the link and re-linked to the original drive, all was fine again. Now, however, doing that makes those original files out of sync also.
    When I relink these files now, FCP ALWAYS finds a discrepency with them: They supposedly have a different "Media Start and End" and "Rate." Apparently, that's why they're being offset, but they're the EXACT same files that I started with, so what's up?!??
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. They represent A LOT of work to fix one by one.

    This is what it says under FORMAT: 24-bit Integer (Little Endian), Mono, 48.000 kHz
    Incidentally, this is EXACTLY the same for both the files on the original drive (that play perfectly in sync) and the copied ones that are out of sync.
    I realize that FCP likes AIFFs, but WAVs is what my sound guy gave me.
    Any other ideas?

  • I'm on 64-bit windows 7 trying to import favorites from Internet Explorer 8 to Firefox 3.6.10. When I click on File menu, the import option is grayed out. Any suggestions please...

    Sorry, no more content to add.

    Yes, apparently I was in Private Browsing mode. I guess FireFox came up in that mode when I started it for the first time. Changed to Remember History mode, Import was then usable and I was able to import my Internet Explorer favorites. Thanks TonyE...

I can access help online, but what about times when I have no internet connectivity? I would be grateful for any advice. Thanks!

    Hi Ashley Clavette,
    The Initial view setting works perfectly when the file is opened in Acrobat after setting the desired Initial View.
    When you upload the file onto Wordpress, and view it on that website in the browser...it might be using a different pdf handler program which might be causing this issue ( it would be helpful, if you could provide the screenshot) , however when you download the pdf again from wordpress server...and open in Acrobat/Reader...then what  exactly happens ?  Does the pdf opens in the desired Initial View setting?

  • Everytime I click on a menu, and it drops down my iPhone lets me click on it but never actually loads the tab I clicked on, what should I do?

    Everytime I click on the menu to login to my school portal, it opens the drop down menu but it never loads the actual tab I'm clicking on. I don't know if that's because of settings or what it is but I've tried everything possible. I also noticed there was a little padlock by the URL on Safari and I don't think it's the problem I don't know how to get rid of it though. Can anyone help?

  • Audio Engine error message

    Hey all,
    During play back and recording in a a lot of instances, Logic will stop and flash the "audio engine could not process data..." (The Audio Engine Overload Message). I've got 4.5GB of RAM, save my audio to a firewire external hard drive and I have the System Performance window open.
    The Disc I/O has nothing in it and the Audio side has the bars lit up intermittent at times, but never going into deep yellow or red.
    I have minimal efffects running and on tracks I DO have effects, I run them through a bus/send.
    Any ideas?

    You at 96 or 88.2 Khz sampling rate by any chance and using something like BFD or other sampled library which is sampled at 44.1?
    How many tracks are you playing back?
    This is what used to cause my problems because Logic has to up sample those 44.1 libs and it's a lot of work for it if you have something like 8-12 tracks.
    If that's not it, my next guess is that your external firewire drive is either too slow or not optimized. I optimize mine constantly using Disk Warrior.
    Hope this helps.

  • CS3 Help menu opens after every command

    I have a user that every time they finish a command like create a new document or rotate and object the help menu opens. This interrupts their workflow since you have to click off the menu before continuing. I have tried deleting the preferences but that didn't help. I have also booted into safe boot and this does resolve the issue. Is there an other setting or preference I can remove that would resolve this issue?

    If I recall.. around the time of CS3 there were issues with Unsanity "haxies" causing this as well as other small third party OS add ons.
    You might...
    A) Include what OS you are using
    B) If it's Mac OS, try booting into Safe Mode by holding down the shift key when starting up the system and see if the issue goes away.

  • Help menu not functioning

    After upgrading to Mavericks the help menu doesn't work. I can search, but when I click on a topic I get...nothing. This happens in Safari, iTunes, Finder etc.
    No problems when I had OS X 10.8. I'm on a danish version of Mavericks and an iMac 2011.
    Any thoughts? Thanks.
    Michael

    The problem has been solved. It was corrupted Quicktime Preference files. I'm not sure of the exact mechanism that caused the 10.4.5 update to corrupt these files.
    Here is the solution:
    Remove the following two files from the Preferences Folder in the main user's Library:
    com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
    QuickTime Preferences
    Logout and then log back in.
    New versions of these files will be created by Quicktime upon launching Safari.

  • Help menu disconnects Elements 8

    Hi, rather than suffer with the problem I decided to find out what I can do about it, and hope you can help me. I have Elements 8 on mac. When I click on HELP and the drop down menu shows up, I click on one of the subjects and the program disconnects. I get a error message to send to Apple but I don't think it's an Apple problem but an Elements problem.
    I should say, that when I first loaded the Elements 8 program it used to do the same thing. I would open the program. Open a photo and it would disconnect. No error message to send. I would restart and it would work fine. It did this for a while then a few months ago stopped and it works fine now. A few days ago I decided to check something on the Help menu and have the above problem.
    Hope you can help.
    Thanks,
    Freda

    Sorry for the delay in response. I could not find the response button at the forum. Thank you for responding. I resolved the problem with the help of Elements Village. It was only the Help menu that was causing the problem. So far the other menu options I needed were working fine. And I am able to open photos through Bridge and edit the pics.

    A few questions:
    - Are you able to use the Elements in opening and editing pics?
    - Is it only the Help menu that is causing the problem?
    - Are other menu options are working fine?

  • Help menu search box missing

    In every program, I'm missing the useful little search box in the help menu. This is what it looks like:
    I first noticed this when I started up Brackets. My uptime was 14 days, and some programs were still working (like Terminal), but every new one I opened had this problem. I tried doing killall SystemUIServer, which didn't work, and restarting didn't fix it either. Clicking the highlighted portion closes the "Help" menu and highlights it until another menu is accessed.
    I miss this!
    Anyone know what I could do to get it back?

    Woo, maybe we can figure this out!
    The QuickLook plugins I was talking about are QLColorCode, QLMarkdown, QLStephen, and Suspicious Package. I doubt any of them have much to do with it.
    I've been using AppCleaner and Alfred forever, never Quicksilver. Alfred has one workflow that lets you search for actions in a program's menus, which boils down to an AppleScript. This provides most of the functionality of the help search bar, but causes some apps including Chrome and Photoshop to crash (for which accessing the Help menu makes them crash as well).
    I also have Mountain Tweaks, and I think I had Onyx at some point. I prefer the one-line "defaults write..." commands, and I've done too many to keep track of, but they don't usually cause any damage... I think BetterTouchTool may be the culprit but I have no idea why this would persist after removal with AppCleaner unless it left some kext lying around, and I don't know too much about managing those.
    The first thing I tried when I noticed this was to do "killall SystemUIServer" (which didn't work of course) and I still think an app interacting with SystemUIServer is causing this. If you don't use iStat Menus it's probably not responsible, although it does use menucracker to behave like a system menubar icon. I've had it for too long to really be suspicious.
