Disappearing midi latency during recording

Haven't see a discussion on this yet, any ideas?????
When I go to record a midi performance, there is a delay of about 175 milliseconds, that after about 10 seconds disappears and allows the performance to properly align with the rest of the track. There is no audible delay when I am performing, only when I go to play the track back, and as I am watching the piano roll record in real time.
I have tried resetting the logic preferences, and changing my midi keyboard. The midi keyboard is plugged directly into the MacPro. I'm troubleshooting in a new logic file with no extra plugins using the default EVP88. I'm using Logic 9.1.3.
Much Obliged

Update: It has something to do with my audio interface. I tried unplugging it and the problem stopped. I'm using the Audio Kontrol 1 from Native Instruments. Reinstalling the drivers for that now...

Low latency during recording?

Sometimes I want to re-record a track when I'm already far ahead in the mixing process, havinng some latency inducing plugins on aux's or masterbuss.
In Logic 9, I had to clear any I/O channel strips that contained these plugins since the Low Latency button didn't work for those.
Am I correct that in Logic X this works also for the plugins on busses???
I always find it such a drag to save all aux and master channel settings, clear them, record and than put them all back in...
Thanks,
Jasper

Midi latency problems during record/playback

I am starting to use Garageband for midi recording--I am going through an M-Audio Audiophile interface by firewire--when I preview the software instruments everything is fine but when I record then the recorded notes are dropping out or delayed during record and playback--how can I solve thhis problem?
I have already followed the Garageband help suggestions for settings
I would welcome any help!

Do they have the same interface as you? I get very little latency on my iBook G4 and I am using usb 2.
Before getting my external drive I had been recording successfully on my iBook's hardrive. Besides eating up hardrive space I had no problems. Much of what I do uses GB's excellent software instruments and MIDI.
Software instruments are strenuous on the cpu and ram. What is your ram situation?
I also lock tracks as I go along, especially with software instruments. Avoid using effects during the recording stage, add the effects afterwards.

MIDI notes sent during record ready mode AND whenever I start Logic Pro and

Why is Logic Studio pro sending a MIDI note whenever I am writing a new AUDIO track? I get a steady pulse during record ready mode AND this also happens each time I open a project up. ( although it only sends ONE midi note (NOT repeating) when I open up a project)
I have eliminated it by simply turning off the midi interface but this is hardly a fix.
thanks for any help!
Bob

Is it doing this for all projects? Did you change anything in the Environment window? All MIDI gets routed through there. You could attach a monitor object to your MIDI tracks in the Environment to try to see what's going on...although first I would make sure no other programs on your computer could be interfering.

Strange Vocal Double During Recording Logic 8!

Hi everyone (My first post ,
I am getting a strange doubling effect if i record a vocal on a record enabled track in logic. This only happens during recording in playback it plays as normal although it is quite off putting. I am using a TC Electronic Konnekt 24D Interface and this only occurs when recording a vocal with a condensor mic it does not happen when i record my turntables or any other stereo source?
Any help would be much appreciated
Thanks

This is due to the fact that you're monitoring through Logic and you're hearing the direct Input as well as the track output causing the doubler effect as the Latency is delaying the track's Output. So set the track you're recording to to "No Output", enable Input monitoring and you should be fine.

Audio disappears mid-project

I've created a project using Final Cut Express. I use FCE to create a QuickTime movie of the project. I import the QuickTime movie into iDVD, and use iDVD's "Picture in Picture" theme to create the DVD. I've been creating disc images of the project for several months during the development process, and everything has been working okay until last week. Now, the audio disappears about 50 minutes into the disc image. The audio is there in FCE, it's there in Quicktime, and it's there in iDVD using its dvd player/simulator. I have about 30G of free disk space when I start to create the QuickTime movie, and have about 14G free after the QuickTime movie is created. The disc image is 4G, and I end up with about 14 G of free space after the image is created. The audio disappears mid scene ... not at an audio edit point.
I rebuilt the iDVD project from scratch yesterday (at least I think I did), and the result is the same.
Any suggestions on what to check / do?

I too am having this same problem. Created a 45 minute video from FCE, exported it as a Quicktime movie, created the DVD project and have had no luck creating a workable DVD using iDVD. When I burn a disc, the audio cuts out for the rest of the disc at a random location. Never in the same place twice. I was able to play the FCE project with no problems, the quicktime movie and from the DVD previewer. I was able to create a disc image using iDVD with no problems. After researching and talking to MAC experts, they recommended that I first get some high quality discs. I was using Memorex before and was told that that had the most problems. I am now using Sony DVD+R discs and still having the same problems.

Audio drops during recording

Hi guys,
I'm working on my MacBook Pro 2.4 with Logic Pro 8.0.2 and M-Audio Ozonic FireWire interface (latest driver installed). During recording (just one voice track) over an empty session I notice random audio drops. I tryed to change latency and buffer without success. Same equipment and software on my Mac Pro 2.66 works great.
Last year I worked all the summer with the same MacBook Pro (maybe some osx and software versions earlier) without any problem.
Any good ideas ?
Thanks in advance.
Piero

Turn Airport off first and close all other applications.
Recording one track onto the system drive should not be a problem at all but nevertheless try recording all your Audio onto a fast external FW drive in the future.

Echo during recording

I have the Boss GS-10 i just downloaded the recent driver....but i get a echo only during recording but playback is fine. i changed the latency a few hundred times but i still cant get rid of that echo. can someone please help a newbie?

I imported an imovie soundtrack that I made recently
(from my camcorder). The audio track sounds high
pitched, donald duck like. what am I doing wrong ?
The pitch and tempo issue sounds like a sample rate problem, but I thought iMovie audio was recorded at 48K which would make it play lower and slow in GB. For background on this:
http://www.thehangtime.com/gb/gbfaq2.html#toofast
Also, I want to process the imovie track to remove
some echo that was present in the room during
recording. What is the easiest method to
reduce/remove this - if possible?
You can play with the Gate effect to cut out software sounds, but that would only be during the silent passages.

Signal Volume during Recording

When I record the volume of each input signal being recorded is fixed. Adjusting the fader has no effect. Automation is turned off. Is there a way to adjust this in the mixer? I'd like to be able to optimize the input gain on the interface (Presonus Firestation) without having to turn it down or up in order to hear it correctly in the mix.

Rob Twardock wrote:
Sorry, but no. You're suggesting turning the faders down in Logic and I'm saying that's what is not working. I move the fader down for the channel being recorded and it has no effect on the volume I hear through the 1/2 output during recording. Once its recorded, the fader works fine for playback.
Sorry, I got confused with your post.
Then maybe check the "Software monitoring" to ensure it is on.
This will force the fader moves to change the levels on your mix during recording.
It will introduce some latency, so check your settings.
Cheers

Midi Latency with G4 1.25 Mhz, 2 GB Ram, GB 9, Leopard

Recently upgraded to Leopard/Ilife 09... I'm getting intolerably midi latency with an external midi controller, motu 828 firewire midi/digital audio interface, recording a GB software instrument. This system worked cherry with 04/Tiger. Is the new GB/Leopard so heavy with all the Intel support that it cannot even run on my good old G4 PowerPC?
We're talking single track, no other apps, internal drive... should I not expect this HW to have enough cycles for this? Apple advertises complete GB 09 ( other than "lessons" ) support for this system. Seems like something is very wrong...

garage band simply will not run properly on this hardware w/ leopard.

Can you use midi sounds when recording videos on Photobooth?

Can you use midi sounds when recording videos on Photobooth?
Basically, i like to record videos of me singing and playing guitar or keyboard, but to get a good sound for the keyboard I'd like to be able to record the audio using MIDI sounds...
Ive got Logic, I've got M-Audio Fast Track Pro, into which i have my mic, guitar, and keyboard midi plaugged into. I can use it to record the mic and guitar on photobooth as they are audio inputs, however i can't use the midi sounds on the keyboard :/ I have tried having logic open with the desired MIDI sound selected whilst recording but it doesnt work...
Is there ANY way this is possible?
HELP PLEASE!
Thanks!

I Have just the same problem, if I shout very near the microphone i can just hear something, did you manage to solve the problem?

Idvd crashed during recording dvd

I did a new project with 2 film made with imovie09 and extracted to quicktime one in full hd and one in 4:3.
Idvd goes well untill the moment of recording, when it is in the phase before burning the dvd.
He remains some minutes in analysing resource, and then crashed.
Do anyone help me why this happens, i did a lot of projet with idvd and never happened it...
thank you.

Update:
- The Application File Juicer was able to extract the movie as JPEG-pictures.

Display not scrolling during recording

I'm using the latest version of Audition CC2014, and have just noticed that during recording, the waveform created under the playhead (in the waveform editor) as the playhead moves left to right doesn't scroll. I have playback preferences set to auto scroll during playback and recording, with centered auto-scrolling in the waveform editor.
As the playhead reaches the right hand side of the display, the whole time line is compressed (like an auto zoom out) creating more space to the right of the playhead, which then jumps left to the beginning of that newly visible unrecorded space and starts moving right again. The waveform never scrolls off the left hand side.
Everything works fine when I'm playing an audio track back, it's only the recording that's affected. Nothing has changed on my PC apart from updating the Creative Cloud Apps I use.
Has anyone else noticed this behaviour?
Steve

Hi,
there's probably nothing wrong. During recording, Logic will give the graphics low priority, in order to "concentrate" on maximum audio performance. So, the graphics of a new audio track will be somewhat messy during recording.
Kind regards,
Jaap

How can I save the modulation I apply to an instrument during recording such that it remains during playback?

How can I save the modulation I apply to an instrument during recording such that it remains during playback? For example, I apply modulation #8 during recording, but when I play the track back the modulation is not incorporated.

Hi Vlad,
Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to programmatically read the voltage output to the drive, as the voltage is all determined internally by the controller circuitry on the board. Depending on the controller though, you may be able to physically route the output terminal to a spare analog input channel and read in the voltage that way. This example Analog Input with 73xx Motion Card shows you how to program LabVIEW to do this.

BLANK PAGE errors during recording

When I access a member site and click a link that generates a
popup everything works fine. When I do the same thing during
recording the POP happens but shows zero content and is labeled
BLANK PAGE with About:Blank Below it and the text Done at the
bottom of the window. Im assuming that Captivate is causing a
security issue and Im being Denied access to the pop up content. I
could be very wrong because I can still access all the content that
is not POP related.
Thanks -
