CPU overload during playback and record

This happens here and there but is not a consistent problem, and for that reason I feel that it can be corrected. Out of the blue, during playback or record, all of the sudden my CPU meter will start spiking and the audio will start getting interrupted until it just gives up and I get a dialogue box saying overload. I always make sure all other applications are closed to avoid this. What else can I do?

1. Have an empty Audio Track selected during playback (= no need for Logic to wait for realtime MIDI input)
2. Increase Audio Buffer
3. Turn off "safety" buffer. "safety" is very misunderstandig... In fact, it makes things unsafer in terms of playback stability. (BTW: Did anyone find out which "safety" is meant, anyway?)
4. Turn off Airport, go offline, turn off antivirus and such things. Just let Logic be the only big application running.
5. After some playbacks, the caches should provide enough information so that Logic runs more smooth than with the first playback. So - if you need Logic as live tool, let it play the project once or twice before.

Dropped frames during playback and Record To Tape

Mac G-5, OS X 10.4.4; 4 X 2.5 GHz; 4.5 GB DDR2; NVIDIA GeForce 6600 w/256MB.

Tape deck, Sony Mini DV GV-D1000 NTSC FireWire 400 port used for digitizing and mastering.
Have searched forum for solution to dropped frames. Based on other suggestions, set Final Cut Pro 5 RT button to SafeRT; Playback quality to High; Playback Frame Rate, Full. Compression rate at 75%. Sequence > Render All-Video Needs Rendering;Audio, For Playback Render Only-Mixdown.
System Settings--Scratch Disk Video Capture and Audio Capture set to RAID. Video Render and Audio Render set both to Maxtor or RAID. Either case dropped frames.
User Preference--Real-Time Audio Mixing, 2 tracks (have also tried 4 tracks, which equals # of tracks actually used).
In spite of changing all the above settings, I still get dropped frames. Am I missing yet another setting that will fix the problem?

Any heavy filtering and/or effects?...including audio, since you've specified the same number of audio tracks in your real-time audio prefs that you're working with...

Disabling Sound Devices (Playback and Recording) via Group Policy?

Good day,
I am using an HT-Omega Claro II soundcard which has multiple playback and recording options once installed. For this specific configuration, I want to be able to disable all the unwanted options (including things like the standard PC speakers) in such a
way that only an administrator can make modifications to the available devices. Is there a way to do this via a GPO? I know that via the Sound control panel I can (and have) disable the options I do not want to be available, but there are some users who are
saavy enough to be able to find them and re-enable, which is creating problems for some of the applications that need to be used.
Any input on how to rectify this is greatly appreciated.

I dont think there are sound specific GPO's. If you want to disable the sound, you can disable the sound service from GPO :
Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\System Services\Windows Audio

Audition CC randomly loses playback and recording functionlity

Any help with this issue would be great. I'm using Adobe Audition CC and after a few minutes the playback and recording functionality lock up. I'm still able to edit and save as nomal, but that's it. When i hit 'play' the icon lights up as if it's playing but the playhead doesn't move.
if I click away and allow the program a few minutes of running in the background, sometimes, functionality returns,

Thanks for the reply. I'm still experiencing the issue, but I think I'm a bit closer to understanding it. The Yeti has built in drivers meant to work with the windows MME drivers, but the Yeti Pro requires it's own drivers to be downloaded from Blue's website. Unfortunately for me, the Yeti Pro comes in two subtly different models. One that works with the Blue mic Yeto drivers (identified by the letters USB printed by the usb output) and one that Yeti prescribes the TUSB 1.22.0 drivers (the version I have that is absent of the lettering). I believe herein lies my issue. The TUSB drivers are rubbish.
I've since turned off windows sounds and experimented with ASIO4All. Still with interupted recordings and playback. I've got a ticket in with Blue and am going to see if they have a program that lets me swap this TUSB version for their version that uses the proper Yeti Drivers. ASIO4All doesn't identify the mic unless the TUSB drivers are installed, so it seems like for now I'm stuck with them.

Premiere Pro CC 2014 - Black flickering lines during playback and when exporting video

I am fairly new to Premiere and have recently started using creative cloud on my new MacBook Pro retina - 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - OSX Version 10.9.4
I shot a music video using my friends camera and all the shots were absolutely fine, I dropped them into Premiere and started editing the video together.
Some of the clips are perfectly fine during playback, although sometimes my playback stutters a little, but some of the clips have strange horizontal lines that flash through them when I watch it back. I have only used basic things such as the highlight/shadow and sharpen tools in Premiere. I thought that it maybe fine once I exported the video but when I open up the exported file on my desktop in Quicktime the little black flashes/glitches are still there in some of the shots.
Here is a screenshot you can see a line halfway between the top of my head and the top of the screen, when you watch the video there are lots of these flashing about.
Could this be something that I have set up wrong?
CPU/GPU related?
Thanks,
Jordan

Playhead freezes during playback and no fader levels (Logic 8)

during playback on my powermac g5, it's a legit version from a studio.
playhead freezes and stops moving all together untill i pause and press play to refresh position.
This is happening with some but not all projects;
happening on a reasonable sized project, it contains 22 tracks overall, 16 are audio tracks (without excessive plugins) the rest of the tracks are various synths.
(i have checked the core overload and neither core is overloading and i am using the audio channel trick for the VSTs to balance it out between cores.)
got 10 bus sends but again nothing huge on them, just reverb here or there and basic FX and group EQ.
finally nothing on the master channel bar a EQ that is just analysing Freq.
I'm also not getting any fader levels at all during playback, this might be from the same issue?
the software isn't lagging at all just no playhead movement and no repsonse from faders, i've most probably pushed a button since i've recently moved over to logic from ableton on a PC.
let me know if i'm the moron or if it's a bug/something
Version No. 8.0.2

Actually, I must make correction, it is not the core audio error, it is the disk too slow error.

ITunes stops during playback and won't start until I restart the computer

I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I just reformated my computer and placed all the updates and programs back onto my computer. I had iTunes on my computer before and I reinstalled it then upgraded it to version 7.3.2.6. Now I've been reintroducing music back into the library on a folder by folder method (drag and drop). Anyway, during review of the songs I will get a random issue where the iTunes just stops during playback. I have shut down the program and restarted it. I've also shut down the following programs at different times to see if it would help:
iPodService, ITunes.exe (the program), iTunesHelper, and even taskmgr.exe. Nothing seems to help. When I restart the program I click on play (any song or playlist) and nothing happens. The only thing that I have found to help is rebooting my computer. Does anyone have any ideas?
I've check the event logs and nothing is showing in there and other programs are working without an issues.
Please help!

Any suggestions on what this can be?
A dead battery. Buy a new one.

CS6 Windows 8.1 Playback and Recording errors

We are running Audition CS6 on newer Windows 8.1 computers, using the internal sounds cards to eliminate any USB or driver issues as culprits. Here is a breakdown of our problems:
When opening a file from an external program, Audition will not play back the file. Previously, when opening the file, it would start playback immediately.
After launching a new instance of Audition, the program will not record after hitting the record button. It will open a new file like it did before but will not begin the recording process***We have a work around in which you deselect and select the sound cards and restart Audition. Works but not to the best of it's ability.
When switching users, the default sound devices will change.
Each of these problems happen sporadically with no real pattern. We did not experience these issues at all on Windows 7.
Thoughts?

Nokia 5230 video playback and recording

I own the latest nokia 5230. The problem is :
1) When I doing video record using setting TV high quality and Widescr. high quality, it seems
     that my video skip on certain seconds. Using email high quality and below doesn't give any
     problems but the quality is very poor.
2) The problem also occured on playback. Realplayer can't play the skip second on recording
      and then run as normal back after certain time.
It happens all the time as long I used both video setting. I just want to know the solution for this or there is any video recorder software like ETI Camcoder in Nokia s60 series?
Sorry for my bad grammar. I just don't know how to describe this problem. Thanks a lot.

This could be caused by a slow memory card...try this to confirm...
backup your card data in pc, format your memory card..
then make video. .... i hope no bugs in video
i have same problem i am using china made card
try faster card and update your phone software ver
good luck

Playback and record to ipod

When I playback albums from library that were imported from CD, and do not have any "pause" between the original tracks, the playback "pauses" between tracks. Have checked crossfade to "0". When I record to my ipod the results are the same.
Sample = "Dark side of the Moon".
Any ideas ??
PC Windows XP Pro

Unfortunately, iTunes doesn't feature gapless playback, thus you'll always have a slight pause or crossfade between two tracks.
A possible sollution would be to import the entire CD as one track.
To do so, highlight all tracks on the CD before importing, then choose "join tracks" from the "Advanced" dropdown.

Weird sound during playback of recorded track

hey guys, how are you all doing?
so i got a new pc rig, which is quite fast, and have started using adobe audition for recording purposes.
i use a soundblaster audigy 2 soundcard
when i record one track and then play it, theres a weird sound at around 25 seconds which becomes louder and then stops suddenly. it also creates a delay if i'm recording multiple tracks. here's a sound clip of the noise:
http://www.savefile.com/files/2151778
please tell me how to fix it.
any help would be appreciated

Thanks.
I found a solution which works at least between 50 bpm and 177 bpm:
Add a volume fader. Connect the output of the volume fader to the input of the tempo fader and set the input of the tempo fader to volume, then record the volume fader. Moving the volume fader moves also the tempo fader and changes the tempo.
During play back, the volume fader reads the recorded automation data and updates the tempo fader in real-time and the tempo of the song is changed.
For this you don't have to activate tempo recording in the project settings and the possibilities to graphically edit automation data are also better.
Additionally you can add varispeed to set the speed range from 25 - 88,5 bpm up to 100 - 354 bpm.

Blank white screen during playback and editing

I have suddenly lost visibility to my edited video in the monitor panel when editing sequences. Sometimes, right before it turns blank white, a strange grid of characters appear and then disappear. I can hear audio and the raw source footage is fine and intact. It's just everything I've been editing so far. Has anyone else experienced this? I've been using a Dell 8500 xps with Radeon 7770 for two years now and have had not problem up until now. Two things I did that might be culprit but not sure and need to see if someone can verify.
1) I tried to install dynadock so that I could use my two monitors with kvm switches
2) I downloaded a ted talk and tried to edit it. That was the first time I saw the strange characters and assumed it was some sort of protective measure the ted site had implemented to keep people from tampering with their footage. I imediately stopped playing with the footage and closed it down.
One last thing is that there was a Quicktime update and a Adobe Premier update that occured around same time last week. Too many variables. Any ideas?

Does the grid of characters look like this?
If not, then try switching your project settings from Mercury Playback OpenCL to Software Only.
Cheers,
Jeff

Multiple failure during exporting and recording

Hello everyone,
I'm currently helping a friend to create a slideshow to be used on their wedding banquet that talks about their childhood and love story. It's a combination of photographs, with 1 short video clip. As well as 1 personally remixed soundtrack to be played on the background. The whole slideshow plays for a good 8 min 36 sec due to the fact that the bride have asked for an edited soundtrack (combination of several songs being edited into one track).
To make it brief, this slideshow have 95 slides, divided into sections: childhood, dating, engagement portraits, overseas engagement party, pre-wedding portraits. Each transition (style/effect) , transition duration, and transition delays varies as I have to match it with each sections of entire soundtrack.
Everything went perfectly............... if it's only playing (preview) on my own MacBook Pro.
I have read through the user guide, troubleshoots, tutorials video clips on YouTube, and suggestions posted by other users on the forum. Unfortunately, nothing works for me, and I couldn't find out what went wrong. I even tried to play the .key file on another Mac, all the transition duration and transition delays which I have pre-set individually were still messed up. Even experienced a major delay (up to 10 sec pause after playing the slide which contains a short video clip).
And, I did followed the instructions to make sure the "include audio (sound files, movie audio)" and "include slideshow soundtrack" boxes are checked.
I have stumble upon the following problems:
When I tried to record the slideshow, the audio plays way faster than the slides.
After I tried to export as QuickTime Movie, only the first 4 slides kept jamming while the audio continue to play, and the rest of the 91 slides doesn't even show.
I tried to export as all available options/file size of the QuickTime Movie, same results occurred.
Same thing happened as I tried to export to iDVD.
I also tried to export as iTunes Movies, the duration of the entire slideshow went from 8 min 36 sec to 11 minutes+. And, transition duration and transition delays which I have pre-set individually were all messed up.
I even tried to export to a copy of Microsoft PowerPoint presentation, it doesn't even play at all.
My goal is to successfully burn this slideshow into a DVD as a movie for the wedding couple, so they can keep it after playing it on their banquet.
I really don't know what else to do in order to get done, I'm desperately hoping any Keynote '09 experts could kindly give me some advise and/or solutions. Thank you very much for your time on reading this, and all your help would be greatly appreciated!

Sounds like you are hitting all the big problems in one slideshow! There have been numerous posts here about the Keynote timing getting messed up on export to Quicktime. There have also been problems with exporting video clips when there is a soundtrack or voiceover.
Try removing the soundtrack from the Keynote so all you have are the slides with pics and video. Record the slideshow to get the timing of the transition. Then export that to Quicktime and make sure to uncheck the box that says to include recorded audio. Then import it into iMovie. Once in iMovie add the soundtrack. This way if the timing gets messed up on the slides, you can add the individual songs that make up the soundtrack and adjust where to fade out and bring in the next one. With iMovie, it is still easy to send to iDVD to burn your DVD.
Hope this helps and let me know if you have any more question or if you run into some other problem.

Simultaneous playback and record

Hi all,
I'm trying to assist our music department as they begin using Logic, but I am unfamiliar with the software. They have been unable to figure out how to play back their score while recording vocals at the same time. I assume that this is possible, and I'm wondering if someone here can point me in the right direction. Thanks!
-Jonathan

I'm not with you.
When you are recording, whatever you have going on in the arrangement is also played back.
Can you be more specific with what you are trying to do, what you have done, and the behaviour you see? Also what hardware you are using (audio interfaces etc).

Playback and record Audio Tracks

Dear all,
Maybe a simpel question for you to help me out.
I use Logic Pro 8.
I recorded a song on track 1 and now i want to record vocals on Track 2
Can I play track 1 while recording vocals on track 2?
It doesn't work.
Thanks in advance!!!!

It works with me fine, because when I do Audio recording I use headphones so the microphone doesn't pick up what im saying/singing over and over again.
I always hear what I already have on Logic.
Maybe you have to change something in settings or preferences.
