Copied audio region doesnt play!

Hi
Heres my problem that I just cant figure out why logic behaves like that...
http://argohoo.com/Kuvat/logic_comp.jpg
So, I´ve recorded normally and different takes shows up on takes list... after several takes I copy a part of audio from another location on top of those takes and thats what happens... the copied audio doesnt play, its the latest recorded audio-take that plays....

"Mute either one of them and the unmuted one will play. One Audio object ( an Audio track) can only play back 1 Audio file at once."
Yeah, of course but shouldnt Logic automatically mute all other audio files other than the latest, just like it does when you overbud, it doesnt leave previous audiofiles "active", it mutes all other besides the latest take! Why it doesnt mute older takes/files/regions when I copy audio... I guess thats not how it supposed to work!
Oh well, it may be a temp bug ´cause when I tried same thing (on same session though) on other location... [recorded several takes and then copied audio on that same location] it worked like it was supposed to, copied areas were muted on all the other regions/takes underneath it!
Or course I can adjust and mute and demute takes later but the point is that it should automatically always play the region thats on top of everything else if not adjusted/muted etc on takes!

  • Dark Knight Digital Copy - Transfers but doesnt play

    Got my blu ray copy of Dark Knight and it came with a iTunes compatible digital copy.
    Used my code and synced to my iPod Nano. It shows up on the iPod but it doesnt play at all. On iTunes it plays without any sound or picture though......
    Any thoughts or advice?
    Thanks

    I have the same problem - no digital copies are playing (tried Hulk & all 3 X-Men) but other movies play fine including one with "the same" codec. Apple wasn't able to solve it (not "their problem"
    as other movies play fine), and Fox/Universal/Marvel just don't care as it's not happening to everyone. Best guess is it's a compatibility issue between certain systems/software. Yeah, I know, that's real helpful. I tried reloading latest iTunes/Quicktime/system updates & the movies - no effect. Tried erasing the "AppleUpstreamUserClient.kext" as suggested in another thread - no effect.
    Stuck now with a lot of motivation to pirate stuff rather than paying only to get nothing.

  • Manipulating Copied Audio Regions

    Here's what I am unsuccessfully trying to do...
    I want to be able to cut and/or copy several regions of audio that is on track one and paste those regions anywhere I want into track two but in a way that it doesn't effect track one's original audio file.
    I can successfully split track one into slices and copy some of these slices into track two. But if I try to move or change the length of these copies it also changes the regions of the audio on track one! I know there has to be a simple (or another) way to do this but I can't figure it out. What's worse is I am out of town on the road and I didn't bring my manuals with me. I can't find the answer in the help manual either so I thought I'd ask for help here.
    Thanks in advance,
    Greg
    FWIW, I personally am loving Logic 8 and since coming from Logic 3 through 5 (PC) I can say also that I really like the re-designed interface.

    Yea, good point. I just assumed "destructive editing" when I initially read the post. But option/drag will work just fine simply for resizing a copy of a region, or using a part of a copied region else where in the song, without affecting the original region, even though it's referencing the same audio file.

  • Logic wont play back audio regions under certain tracks.

    Hello! I am rearranging my audio files (throwing them all to my secondary hard drive, where I record to ). I did this, and now certain audio files to do not play back in my logic projects, but there is no warning that says the file cannot be found--which is what I am used to happening. At that point I would either hit the Search button, or the Manually Find button. Instead, the region appears as per usual, just with nothing playing back. I know I could import the audio back into my projects manually--which would be fine for those that start at a specific, clean-cut time, but what about all those spliced and diced regions that are cut up and laid out all over the place!?
    I discovered new details to the weirdness . . .
    It seems, in the few projects that I relocated audio, that the affected regions cannot be played back unless I move them to another audio track. What??? For example, the vocal track in one song, which is all set up with its plugins and such as Audio Track 2, will produce no sound unless I drag it to another audio track, say Audio Track 3 or 4. It is bonkers!! What the heck is that about?
    This is what happened in all of the projects affected by my source audio rearrangement. Sure, I could easily just copy my channel strip settings to a new track, relocate my audio region to it, and hope all goes well thereforth, but I would much rather get to the root of this oddity so it doesn't somehow buck me later.
    What do you think it could be?
    Oh yea, in one of the projects, all the other audio tracks seem to play back fine, except for the recorded bass track. Okay, so just to check, I drag the bass audio to another track--yep, it does play back. But I realized that the track that held the bass region (Track 4) is actually playing back the vocals (which are also playing back normally in their intended track). I initially didn't notice the extra vocals underneath my normal vocals track, with their low-key bass plug-in settings. Funny thing is, there isn't even a region on Track 4 any more! How is it playing anything back at all?? Not that it makes any more sense that it would be playing back vocals with a bass region.
    Also, the fact that Logic Pro keeps quitting unexpectedly does not inspire much confidence. This has just been lately, and I've only been playing with these projects lately, trying to figure this out.
    Is my Logic haunted? =(
    I welcome any and all objective suggestions! I am feeling just the slightest bit overwhelmed by this odd behavior.
    Thanks!
    (i checked, but did not see that the tracks were muted in anyway, including the region itself)

    I figured something out that might tell someone what I did to screw things up!
    I think I did something to mess up the environment or something. I know this much now: When I created a new project, I created 6 new audio tracks. I noticed that a piece of previously recorded audio that I imported into the project would only play back on ever other track! I than noticed that on the every other track (that would not play back the audio when it was dragged to it), there was neither a single circle (indicating mono for the track) or the two overlapping circles (indicating stereo for the track) beneath the channel's level meter.
    There must be some significance to this that I do not quite understand!
    I then went back and launched several of my problematic projects to see if the tracks that would not play back audio also did not display either the mono or stereo circles on their respective channel strips. They did not! What kind of global setting did I change that would cause this?
    There was one project that had one track that bared neither mono or stereo an played back its audio (Although, in this same project, there was another track that bared neither symbol that was not playing back its audio). Anyway, I noticed something that was weird to me, but will likely tell someone what the heck I must have inadvertently done to cause all of this:
    When I change one audio track (that bares the mono symbol) into stereo, the next audio track (that didn't display either symbol) seems like it is combined with the previous track's output!
    Very strange! Did I somehow set some global preference to split up my audio tracks across each not audio track?? If so, could someone please explain to me what and I did that? Thanks!

  • When Copy Midi or Audio regions in the ArrangeW the Audio Stops

    When Copy Midi or Audio regions in the Arrange Window the Audio Engine Of Logic Stops When i press play,when Undo the Action is playing back again.

  • Midi notes or audio region do not play at the start of a bar?

    I am having an issue with a midi loop I have created. If I let the song play a bit until it reaches the loop, logic works just as you'd expect it and everything plays correctly. But if I stop the song, or if I set the song into cycle mode so it repeats, the very first note of the midi loop is ignored, and not played.
    So for example, if I set the cursor to start at bar 9, the starting point of the loop, the first midi note is not played. But if a set the cursor at bar 8 and let it play into bar 9 and the loop, all of the notes in the loop play correctly.
    I found the following description of the same problem on another forum, but it seemed to suggest that there is no fix for this, which if true, seems kinda bad for a pro application. I was wondering if anyone knew of a workaround or fix to this, because its really annoying missing the notes, or having to expand the cycle region just to get all of the notes to play. Here is the text from the other forum:
    _Logic doesn't play the very start of my audio regions when I start playback_
    Question: If a region starts at e.g. 1 1 1 1, and it starts playing from the same position, it seems that Logic misses the first few samples - which is especially noticeable with fast-attack transients.
    Answer: Apparently Logic doesn't use some kind of pre-play buffering. The workaround is to have your entire song start e.g. one bar later, at 2 1 1 1, and let Logic play from 1 1 1 1. This workaround obviously doesn't work if you've set up a cycle - in which case Logic will miss the first samples when it starts playing as well. Next time it loops through the cycle it does play properly. There's no workaround for this - it's a serious shortcoming of the way Logic handles audio playback. With cycles, you could resort to using the Pause instead of the Play button/command: this will let you start playback from somewhere before the start of the cycle instead of starting at cycle-start (which is what Play does).

    I'm having the same problem.
    one workaround is to change the delay to +1/192=20 in the delay box in inspector on the given midi track...but this is a terrible thing to have to do over and over again.
    PLEASE help if you know what's going on.....I ran logic on my macbook and this NEVER happened. I just bought a macbook pro 2.5 and it's apparently now an issue?
    I have searched the net for fixes, and none work....logic does have a pre-play buffer, but it's range isnt large enough to buffer the instrument I'm using...which means the range is less than 1/192...come on....that's messed.
    If anyone figures this out, please message me back at [email protected]

  • Copy/paste automation data in audio regions

    Hi,
    A dumb question but I'm having trouble figuring out...how do I copy and paste automation data in audio regions? When I copy and paste an audio region I like, it pastes down the selected region but without the automation data with it. I've been rewriting the automation data every time to the newly-pasted region but I'm sure there's a simple way to do this. I've looked through the various help files but still am struggling to find the procedure. Any advice is welcome and thank you.
    Respectfully,
    John

    OK, for viewers of this topic I figured this out myself. There are two lines in the reference manual that pertain but even they were a little confusing. They read:
    "Option - long clicking on a selection allows you to copy the selection." p.234
    I had success by using the pointer tool and selecting the automation data within the region by holding shift+dragging the mouse over the target data. The data highlights white. Then with the pointer tip on a line of the selected data, holding option+long clicking the selection AND dragging the data while still holding the option key I was able to drag and drop the automation data to a new region in the track. That got me "in the ball park" so to speak but fine tuning the actual drop was necessary to assure precise nodal location. That can be done node by node or better by dragging the entire automation selection as a loop edit.

  • Copy/pasting audio regions between different tempo projects

    hi, ran into a strange problem when working on a film voiceover...
    did the recording the other week for a new language version. when done i converted the takes to 48khz as that's the rate in the original logic file. edited together the new, english version cutting and mixing together the best parts of 5 takes. ended up with about 200 nice audio regions in a row.
    what happened is that when i tried to copy the new english version in the old logic project it gets totally screwed up. the reason being (i think) that the new project is 120bpm and the old one 77,7476 (?), which i didnt notice before.
    is there any way i can
    1) paste the 120 bpm stuff into the 77bpm stuff so that it ignores the tempo difference? – now the ends of the regions change, causing sentences to to end funilly, and there a gaps between regions.
    or
    2) change the 120bpm projects tempo to 77bpm without screwing it up?
    or any other solution?
    thanks,
    /r

    Hi Rikard,
    Beforehand, forgive me for any overexplaining I might do. In case of underexplaining, just ask.
    200 regions in a row? On one track, right?
    1) If so, you could simply merge all the audio regions into one fixed file. Select all regions on the track and hit the '=' shortcut. Logic will tell you that it is gonna make a new file. This new file you can then import into the other project. Audio (not loop) files are independent of Logic's tempo. It is just that the bar division doesn't line up with the tempo anymore. But if that is not a problem...
    Also I do not understand why the new project is at 120 bpm? Is there a reason for that, other than that it is the default value when opening an empty project? If not, just set it to the 77 something of the old project. If there is already stuff in your new project and now you want to add your 200-region audio, use method 1). If you change the tempo, two thing change: the tempo of any mioditrack, and the time between audio regions. The audio regions itself will not change.
    regards, Erik.

  • Video doesnt play audio

    i just uploaded a movie to my ipod, but when i played the movie on my ipod, the audio did not play. Does any one know how to fix this

    Hi you need to unprotect your video before you upload it onto your ipod. The video is probably protected by copywrite so you will get the pics but no sound. I downloaded Rip and Unprotect ipod converter free from the net. There may be others out there but this one worked for me. Dolly

  • Punched audio regions are visible but wrong older pass plays back.errgh

    This has happened to me before. VERY FRUSTRATING. Why aren't the latest punched in audio regions sounding even after you trick the arrange window into showing them.(I hate that you have to click all over the place to get regions with punch-ins to behave visually)..and some times what you see is not what you get to hear.I end up deleting old passes in the audio window until the one take is the only one left.This is a terrible workaround.I do not want to use toggle erase mode either.Just want to hear what I see in the arrange window.Any suggestions, settings, modes I might be missing ? It's getting difficult to trust punching in audio when a crucial take is getting lost under layers, or isn't there for review immediately !!

    pardon,I'm a little confused... Scenario:Not using cycle record. One track for a lead vocal.I puch in vocal phrases.Is there a technique for going back to earlier pass takes and lock a take in the arrange window if I want to ?Why create duplicate tracks?I do not want to create extra tracks,want the lead vocal to be on it's own single track that has punches.I usually only want the most recent punch as I move on after a good take.In this current song I rewind happy to hear my performance but I end up seeing it(the punch)but hearing and underlying take ??? Why. PLease elaborate. Thanks ~

  • Movie doesnt play with audio

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm a newbie to DVDSP3, when i link the movie to the play button i dont hear the audio when i preview the project. but when i drag the audio to the play button it works but it also increase the project from 4.1 to 8.1 gigs.... can someone help me.
    thanks

    What you should do is encode the video and audio outside of DVD SP and make sure to A.Pack/Dolby the audio.
    Then the m2v and audio should be placed on a track
    Take a look here for an overview, take a look at point 5 pictures to make sure you have video and audio (blue and green) set on the track. Sounds like you are making drop zones in a menu or adding items there
    Also take a look at

  • How can I have html5 audio continue to play in background in iOS7 from my flex mobile app

    I have mobile app I've developed in flash builder 4.6 (flex 4.12 sdk) and I have a stagewebview component which contains HTML5 audio (mp3 retrieved from my web server and streamed / played via the app)... I want to have the ios version of the app CONTINUE to play the mp3 / html5 audio when the user presses the home button on their iphone or opens another app... so that when multitasking, my audio continues to play (where theres no other NEW audio started, for instance).
    I have added the following to my manifest but it still doesnt do what Im after. I used this in another mobile app where I just play audio from the url directly in flash builder (i.e. NOT via webview component) -- but here it seems the webview suspends (Im guessing)...

    You can import audio files into Logic (as easy as drag and drop).  You can download these loops from the Internet from a variety of sources both free and paid.  Just do a Google search for those.
    Once you've imported the file into Logic Pro, right click on the audio region and scroll down to the "Convert" option about halfway down the menu.  The top option will be "Add to Apple Loops library" - click this, and it'll add the file into your Apple loops.
    It won't affect the other loops in the library.

  • EXS24 instrument created from audio region- How to  move files?

    In Logic Pro X. I have created an EXS24 instrument from an audio region with 3 well-separated sounds. The instrument in EXS24 editor shows a zone with 3 files. Each file is actually the same physical file, but, when examining the three separate "files" (what should I call them??), a different section is highlighted for each tone. I can set a note for each of these "files". This instrument plays perfectly.
    So now I have 2 files in my project folder  - a .exs one for the instrument, and ONE SINGLE .wav file somehow representing three different samples. I want to move them to ~Library/Application Support/Logic/folderName, where folderName is , say,  myInstruments (for .exs) and mySamples (for .wav). When I do this, and erase the files in the project folder, I can load the instrument and the sample file into EXS24, but the sample file is recognized as one single tone - that is, in the EXS24 editor, there is only one file rather than 3, and that file has all three audio sounds.
    How do I move these files correctly? Is there some way to get them created originally in the correct place?
