File plays fine, then I get  "Error Syncing Audio and Midi"

Hi, I just installed my upgrade to Logic 9 from 8. When I play a file , it goes fine at first, then if I save it, a crackling sound takes over and I get a message like "Error syncing Audio and Midi". Saving the file is not the only thing that will cause this to occur but I can't pinpoint exactly what and when these other times happen.
I did some troubleshooting with an Apple Rep by phone the other day and it seemed we had it figured out that the problem was about bringing projects over from Logic 8 and opening them in Logic 9. The suggested solution was to export audio tracks from 8 and import them into 9 as a fresh project.
It then seemed that when I started a project from scratch in Logic 9, I had no problems. This no longer seems to hold water as a theory. The problem I'm having now is with a project I started fresh in Logic 9.
When the crackling sound starts, the play speed seems to slow down as if I were playing an old 78 on the wrong speed or something.
Also I can't bounce to make an Mp3 in Real time - that causes this crackling sound/speed issue to occur as well. When I try to bounce an Mp3 offline, it re-hashes the first Mp3 I did and I don't hear my changes even as I choose to replace the file. This is screwy,...really.
I appreciate any assistance or ideas on this.
Thanks, Frank B.

I was getting the same issue last night with a stereo track and one instance of Addictive Drums with just tom fills and a few crash cymbals in the sequence. I thought it might be a AD issue because I assigned a multi instrument to AD which is not necessary but I forgot that. I deleted the multi instrument and this seems like it solved it for me. I just ran the track and no Midi Audio sync errors or the crackling sound. Do you have any multi instruments in your setup?

  • Help with "Error syncing Audio and Midi" message. How to fix?

    Hi,
    I'm running Logic Pro 7.1 on a G5 Dual 2.5 PowerMac. My audio interface is a Digidisign Digi002R, and my MIDI interface is a MOTU Fastlane. Up until a few days ago everything was working fine. I didn't install any new software or anything.
    All of a sudden in any Logic session I open (new or saved) I get all kinds of artifacts that sound like they're associated with sample rate problems.
    True to form, on playback after 4 or 5 seconds a message comes up telling me that there is an error syncing audio and midi. It tells me that a sample rate of 88209, or 88213, or 88207 (each time it's different) was detected, and that there is a conflict between Logic and my external device.
    My Digi002R is set to 44.1, and Logic is set to 44.1 as well. I have no idea where this problem came from.
    The only thing I do know is that I've been using the Peachtree Press Apple Pro Training Series to study for my Level 1 Logic certification. it comes with a CD with Logic sessions to use with the text. The CD comes with a Logic Epress Demo but I didn't download that as I've already got Logic Pro. I dragged those session files to my desktop, and the problem occured for the first time when iopened up that first session from the CD. After that, every single session has this problem and I have no idea how to fix it.
    Sorry for the incredibly long message, but can anybody help?
    Thanks

    Hey,
    Thanks. I appreciate the help, but I've tried all of that. I just don't get it. I've unplugged everything, I've shut down, powered down, relaunched everything a dozen times and the problem doesn't go away. I know that the problem is with Logic because the interface works perfectly fnie with everything else, from Pro Tools to iTunes.
    I'm having Logic Pro 7.2 shipped to me so I'm hoping that installing that will reset everything, but until then I can't do anything in Logic.
    Anybody ever encounter anything like this?

  • Error Trying to Sync Audio and MIDI - Please Help!

    Hey everyone, I know this is a fairly common problem, and I've tried following the Logic Help and manual, but it hasn't solved it.
    Last night, I was recording and mixing with my MOTU 828mkII into my Powerbook G4 running Logic Pro 6.4, and everything was working perfectly. Today, when I opened up Logic again to work on mixing the song I recorded last night, after not having changed a single preference anywhere, something bizarre happened. When I clicked the play button, the song began playing, but no sound came out, except for a high-pitched digital howling sound, and after about 5 seconds, an error message came up saying, "Error Trying to Sync Audio and MIDI." I tried other song files I'd recorded months ago, and even with brand new song files, and the same exact problem occurred!
    Apparently, it's a discrepancy in the sample rates between my MOTU and Logic? But both have been set to 44.1 for months, and I haven't changed anything. The Logic Help said to change the Sync Mode to MTC Continuous (which I believe it was already set to) or MTC Trigger/ASD (which didn't help).
    I even tried re-installing Logic altogether, and changing the sample rates both on my MOTU and Logic to 48 and then back to 44.1, and nothing works.
    Please help me! What should I do?
    Thanks very much,
    TB

    I suffered from this problem, and it was particularly frustrating to me since I was not even using MIDI, or so I thought. The "Error Trying to Sync Audio and MIDI" message seemed to crop up just as I was ready to print a final mix.
    I did some research and learned that the Logic automation is actually MIDI data, furthermore, I learned that The sample accurate automation feature in Logic Audio results in randomly sized audio buffers being passed to plug-ins.
    My solution?
    Turn OFF "sample accurate automation" in the menu Logic Pro / Preferences / Audio...
    The automation is very accurate even with this option disabled.

  • "Error while trying to sync Audio and Midi"

    "Error while trying to sync Audio and Midi" I have been having this problem now and then for some time. Now, I can't run any audio files without a lot of popping. I tried all the suggestions on the support document for this issue. I even downloaded new drivers from Motu for my Express XT Midi interface and my 828MK11 Audio interface. There has been no change. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!
    Also, I have tried reseting the 828 to factory default and that does not help.
    Jonathan Jenkins

    Hi,
    I solved my own problem by resetting the factory presets:
    Follow these steps to restore the MOTU 828mkII to Factory Default Settings.
    Disconnect the firewire cable from the 828mkII
    Press the Setup knob
    Turn the Setup knob all the way to the right
    Press the Select knob
    Press the Value knob
    Power off the interface and plug the firewire cable back in
    Power the interface back on
    The same steps can be followed to restore the Factory Default Settings on a Traveler.

  • Error while trying to sync audio and MIDI, sample rate 39100 recognised??

    When I press record a message appears saying 'error while trying to syncronise audio and MIDI, sample rate 39100 recognised. Check conflict between garage band and external device. I'm using a Behringer UMC-202 interface. The inputs are selected as the device but no audio is present either.

    Just click the icon on each track that stops it acting as a live input. It looks like a sound wave. Only have them clicked orange when using the track to record! I don't know if that will solve your problem!

  • In Logic Pro 9.8.1 I get an "error while trying to sync Audio and MIDI"

    I am using a MAC OS X 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    I am going thru an Apogee Ensemble
    and 2 other external units, an MCU Pro Universal Control surface

    The problem is this was working fine and now I cannot
    get audio.  The signals are there when I load a Logic project,
    just no actual audio.

    Sounds like the MOTU828 needs a reset, the problems you describe can almost always be fixed by a reset.
    -Unplug the firewire
    -press the button "setup", turn full right until
    "factory default"
    - push select
    - confirm with "value"
    - plug back firewire

  • Error: sync audio & midi

    Hi,
    I've searched the forum and it seems that a lot of people are having this problem - although I haven't found a solution.
    I am getting the following error message:
    "Error while trying to sync audio and midi. Sample rate 42572 recognized. Check conflict between logic express and external devices".
    Here's what I'm using:
    Intel MacBook Pro, OS 10.4.8
    M-audio Midiman 2x2
    Old Yamaha Clavinova controller
    When I was using a powerPC iMac, everything was fine. Now that I'm using this macbook pro (intel), I'm having this error come up every 5 seconds during playback and recording.
    What can I do? Is this an Intel compatibility problem or is there something else going on?
    Thanks!

    Yes. I've increased buffer sizes...
    I copied the file over to my power PC mac and everything is working fine. I have a feeling it's just a compatibility issue with using a power pc program on an intel mac.
    I will try downloading the intel update. If anyone else has any other suggestions, please suggest!
    Thanks!

    Check the clock source on your audio interface if you're using one. It should be set to internal. What's your setup?

    I have exactly the same problem.  iPhone 4S, never been jailbroken.  Not behind a firewall and it happens whether I am on my home compute (iTunes) or directly thru Settings_Update.
    Looks like loads of people are having the same problem - and as far as I can see, Apple's sole reply is jailbreak or behind firewall/ security settings/anti-virus.  None of those apply here!

    A simple license does not include upgrade to newer versions. If you want to keep up to date at all times, look into a  SSP subscription. It has many other benefits.
