Freeze from Song Start instead of Meas 0?

I recorded a concert into Logic, 38 channels, 24 bit, 44.1k. I'm breaking the individual songs out that I want to fix & mix. I'm editing out the regions of each song, then turning those regions into optimized audio files to make it more manageable. We'll open the mixes in another song file, bridge them with applause, and have a nice tidy concert mix.
I want to freeze tracks as I fix them, for less CPU overhead. I want to keep the individual songs with the optimized audio files in their original position in the timeline, so I can reopen the original files and drop them in at their original record position if I mess up the optimized audio file. I've reset the start and end markers with a couple of extra measures (@ 30bpm) before and after the audio.
My problem is that when I freeze a file, it freezes from measure 0, instead of the new song start position. Consequently, it takes a long time to freeze files, and they are huge. As an example, the first song actually started at measure 250 (it was a long pre-show), and even though the lead vocal file is only 50 MB, the freeze file for it is over 400 MB and takes a very long time to create.
How do I get "freeze" to start freezing from measure 249, instead of measure 0?
If that's not an option, is there one that doesn't require relocating my regions to measure 2?
TIA.

I've done a very poor job of describing what I've done. I'll try to clarify.
I have created a new .lso of each song, drawn from the original .lso of the concert. I've even gone to the effort of copying just the portions of the audio files that are in that song (optimizing), so I have a much smaller set of the appropriate audio tracks/files that contain just the audio from that song in each .lso.
I want the audio files of each .lso to remain at their original record position, to facilitate replacing them with originals if they get messed up in editing.
The song "start" has been moved to the beginning of the the files in the timeline for each .lso. The song end has been moved to the end of each, making each new .lso about 4 minutes long, although the start marker for each is at measure 250+
The problem is that "freeze" starts at measure 0, regardless of where the song start marker is placed. True, it stops where the "song end" marker is, but the freeze files are huge in comparison to the original file.
Any way to get freeze to start at the song start marker on the .lso's, instead of at measure 0?

After recharging shuffle(second gen 2 gb) it played the song from the start

after recharging shuffle(second gen 2 gb) it played the song from the start instead or continuing from the last song played. I put 500 song on the shuffle, then I listen to 200 roughly on and off for 3 days (1 hour here, 1 hour there etc.).But now I have to recharge it then when I turn it on, it start at number 1 song and not 201. Even though with 500 song itunes says play time roughtly 1.4 day, so roughly 30 hours, and the charge last roughly 12 hour (give or take a few, depending on volume, skip etc...) maybe I would have been better with a 1 gb. so i don't have to skip to the last song I played before I recharge it.
Beside that, so far I love my shuffle, I have been going thru different mp3 players, this one is great except for that little problem.
any idea or suggestion would be appreciate to help maximize my ipod experience
Thank you

Hi Jello2208,
unfortunately it's normal behaviour for the iPod shuffle to reset the playback position to the first song whenever it is synced.
A safe way to avoid this is using the USB power adapter for charging instead of connecting the iPod to your computer.
If you don't have a power adapter, try this: In the iPod settings in iTunes, deselect the option to open iTunes automatically when the iPod is connected. Now whenever you connect your iPod to your computer just to charge it, make sure that iTunes isn't running, and don't start it while the iPod is connected. This way no sync will happen and hopefully the playback position will survive.

Photos won't import images from my Canon camera. When connected, program sees the images, tells me it will import the new ones, then freezes once import starts, not allowing any other operation to happen. MacbookPro 15" 2012, OSX Yosemite 10.10.3.

Solution discovered. Faulty connector cable. Tried a different one and it worked.

How do you choose songs from your ipod instead of from the car dashboard while your ipod is plugged into your car?

How do you choose songs from your ipod instead of from the car dashboard while your ipod is plugged into your car?

It depends on your car stereo. On the JVC we have you can select either "Head Mode" or "iPod Mode" when you're plugged into the USB port. Ipod Mode lets you select the songs from the iPod although the radio still controls the volume. I believe the Alpine I have does the same thing.

Why are my itunes-synced songs and pictures are incomplete (corrupted) when transfered to my iPhone? E.g. songs start from somewhere in the middle and glitch continiously.

Why are my itunes-synced songs and pictures are incomplete (corrupted) when transfered to my iPhone? E.g. songs start from somewhere in the middle and glitch continiously. This is a big problem which means all my windows -> iphone pictures are half black or glitched on the iphone. Also my songs are completely glitched. I have tried resyncing and different USB-ports.

Same problem on Iphone 4s AND windows 7. Really annoying that I can't have any music on my brand NEW device.

When playing songs in iTunes playlist, How do you keep the next song from jumping to next song? I am working on song list updating other tracks info and then the next song starts and I lose my spot in song list?

Max OSX 10.6.8, iTunes 11.1
I had a similar problem: I wanted to synch my playlist to my iphone. I like to have my playlist sorted by genre. But under each genre, albums are not sorted by the track numbers. This is a problem, especially when I am listening to club mixes when the DJ smoothly transitions from 1 track sequentially to the next one. Under the properties of each audio file, the Track Numbers and Disc Numbers are already there.
My perfect solution was to turn On Sorting - Sort Album under View>Show View Options. Then, select all the songs in that album (Shift click, Cmd click, etc) , and Edit multiple item information (Cmd I). You will see Info-Video-Sorting-Options buttons. Click on Sorting. Then, under Sort Album, Enter the name of the album. Then OK.
You should now have the playlist sorted by Genre, then each album individually sorted by track numbers. On your playlist you should see, if you scroll right, the column added called "Sort Album".
Hope this helps.

I brought a album from iTunes and one song starts but then skips how do i re download that song or album

Iphone 4s will no shuffle songs but instead keeps repeating whatever one starts playing first. How do I fix this?

Recently my iphone 4s will not shuffle songs. I go to songs and then click shuffle and it randomly picks a song, but instead of shuffling to another random song when it is done it repeats the song over and over. What do I do to fix this?

You must have repeat turned on. To turn it off, while the song is playing, tap the cover art to reveal the additional controls (see photo below). Then tap Repeat until it turns white (white is off, blue is on).

5 minutes to import a song starting with mid iTunes 7.x releases

Sometime around iTunes 7.5 or 7.6, my imports began to be excruiciatingly slow. iTunes simply stopped responding, as if it were frozen. These freeze periods typically last about 3 minutes. During these periods, CPU usage is between 75 and 100%, and RAM for the iTunes process runs at about 250 MB. When iTunes is responding normally CPU usage is low and RAM usage about 125 MB. I am running the latest version of iTunes --- 8.0.1.11.
I have no problems burning CDs, only importing them and doing some other routine file maintenancem, which I will describe later.
When importing to Windows Media Library, there is no degradation in performance. Imports are quick and run at about a 30x rate with no pauses between tracks. With iTunes, I click import and there is a 2-3 minute delay, the import to the first song starts, the drive starts spinning slowly, maybe gets up to 2x then stalls again at the end of the track. Again, another 2-3 minute wait period before the drive becomes active again. When iTunes is frozen, I cannot even minimize the application.
Some other information that may or may not be helpful:
---I have a very large library...about 41,000 items (190GB). However, when this problem started the library was still very large...about 35,000 items (160GB).
---Occassionally I have found bizarre "workarounds". In the last release of iTunes (8.0) for example, I accidentally found if I right clicked on the iTunes store link in the left pane during an import, it would generate some sort of interupt and the import would start to fly with no pauses between tracks. Sadly, this weird little glitch is now gone in 8.0.1.
---There are other performance problems that crop up when editing song info in the list (by the way, I only use list mode). Renaming songs can generate up to a 1 minute freeze-up. Deleting songs can generate an even longer freeze-up of about 2 minutes. If I open the songs in "GET INFO" mode though and advance forward and backward through the list, I can work around the file maintenance issues (though not the deleting issue).
---I have verified my registry filter settings are as Apple recommends.
---I have disabled the Bonjour service, to no avail.
---Since this happened long ago, I cannot be sure, but it's possible the problems started occuring when I installed the Samsung SH-S203N drives. Possibly some compatibility problem with the SATA controller and iTunes? The drive that originally came with the computer had no such problems....but that was running an early version of iTunes 7. So I'm not really sure if this is an iTunes or a Samsung related problem. But again...the problems are NOT limited to importing CDs only.
That's all I have. Any help would be appreciated. As a music management tool, I think iTunes is the best, but I'm at the end of my rope with these performance problems.

I hate to say that I have a worse situation than you do! I've got iTunes 8.0.1.11 on Windows XP Service Pack 3. It's fine as a playback station, but it freezes the computer when trying to import from CDs. It does this even when it's the only application running after a fresh reboot.
So to get music into iTunes on this desktop machine, I must first import on my MacBook Pro at home, then transfer to a memory stick and import folders from the memory stick. This actually takes less time than ripping with Windows Media Player, typing in identifying text for each track, and waiting for iTunes to convert the Windows audio files to AIFF or whatever.
Also, iTunes on Windows has no provision to allow a user to insert the accent marks in foreign languages. It's easy on the Mac, impossible in Windows. Why?
Why? Why?
I suspect there are device driver problems Apple doesn't want to invest in solving. iTunes will PLAY CDs on my drive. It just won't import them.

Songs start 3+ times while first start still playing.

When listening to Itunes the songs start at least 3times while transitioning from the one playing to the next tune. Computer freezes until it smooths out. What steps can I take to get a smooth change from one to the next.

You were not able to find anything under the Playback preference tab because the feature you describe is not a library-wide preference. Somehow the “Remember playback position” tag has been set to true on many if not all of your songs. Select one the songs exhibiting this behavior and look at the settings in the Options tab; I will bet that “Remember playback position” is checked.
To save you the trouble of finding every single song that has this option enabled, select your entire music library, open the Multiple Item Information window, go to the Options tab and set Remember position to ‘No’. iTunes will update your entire library to disable the option.

Song Start Postition INSANITY

I've gone over this issue before on here, but didn't really get a very satisfactory response, and I'm STILLLL tearing my hair out over the same problem, so here it goes again in hopes that a resolution can be found.
How on EARTH does one get the song start position marker to MOVE adequately?? I'm attempting to have the ssp placed at, say, bar 122, and it's literally only moving a few frames at a time every time I try to shift it from the left ot the right, afterwhich it simply doesn't budge any more. I thought it was as simple as (like the manual alleges) grabbing it and pulling it toward position . . . but no.
What am I missing? Is there a way that you can set the start position marker by simply typing in the location somewhere similar to how it can be done for the song end marker? I'm literally spending twenty minutes on a task that should take only twenty seconds.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you all in advance,
Javier Calderon

Ahh . . . Okay, Jim. Good question. I guess I should have explained a little bit. I just didn't want to be any more long winded than I tend to be all the same.
I am doing all the mixing, effect processing, sound design, and score for a feature film. I have an 82 minute quicktime file of the film to work with. The film is broken up into twenty one scenes. I am working on each scene individually, setting up a new logic sequence for each scene with a different start point (representing each new scene). Each scene has it's own set of voice overs and folies, of course - some scenes having only 15 or so tracks. others having more than sixty. That's the reason why I have to set up different sequences for each scene and not do it all in one, long, sequence. I'll piece them together after I'm done with everything via bounces.
That being said, I cannot tell you how very unproductively difficult it would be for me to have to continuously position the spl EXACTLY at the beginning of each new scene before viewing the work . . . instead, of course, of just hitting return and having the spl jump to the song start marker - which, again, I'm trying to have begin at the start of each new scene.
I could say much more, but I'll stop for the moment. Hope that explains a bit of the reasoning behind my need to have markers that start later (at times MUCH later) than 1 1 1 1.

Screen freeze after OS start

Hello,
I have a Mac Book Pro. The screen freeze right after starting the OS.
I can not move my mouse (usb or pad), Typing has no effect.
-> I switch OFF/ON many times: do not work
->I tried safe mode, but nothing work
->I tried Reboot/Startup holding your Command-S key down. But I can not type anything.
The clock is still working, and the airport still find if internet is ON.
It seems that everything work except the mouse and keyboard....
BUT during the re--boot, if I press Shift and power -on. the computer start in Safe mode....but then nothing....
Only the POWER button is working.
Please help.....

I still need help.
I went to the apple store, plugged my computer into their monitor, keyboard and mouse. It worked fine. For over an hour I clicked on everything and did just about everything I can think of that I usually do. I changed settings in preferences, turned off the screen saver and turned it back on, turned off putting the computer to sleep and back on, restarted multiple times and the keyboard and mouse worked fine. So, we determined that I must need a new keyboard and mouse.
I set up my computer this morning and it worked fine. But when I came back and tried to wake it up from the screensaver I got no reaction. pushed the power button lightly a couple of times to force the ask for password screen to come up, when I tried to type my password in nothing happened. So then I forced the computer to shut down by holding the power button down for three seconds (the one on the monitor). Then started up, mouse wouldn't work. So, I thought it must be the usb port on the monitor that is bad. I shut down. plugged the keyboard into the back of my mac instead of the monitor.
All seemed great. Computer response even seemed faster. I thought I had solved my problem. I was using the computer for probably less than 30 minutes and then while I was using it the mouse froze. Computer would accept no input from the keyboard either, like clicking F11 for expose reaction.
I'm back to square one. What else should I try?????
Any ideas out there???
Thanks in advance.

Qosmio X500-148 freezes from day 1

I just bought a X500-148. Started freezing from day 1. I thought it was the sharescope software I was using. However the vendor tells me the software has no issues, so I began to suspect it was my 1800 quid X500. I updated all the drivers, but it still would freeze intermittently. Then one day I powered it down and it froze whilst in the power down mode and I had to remove the power cord and battery to fully switch it off.
After this, it would often not even go through the boot process. When it did boot up and load windows, I tried the re-install windows to earlier date option. Needless to say it froze during the middle of this and so windows 7 is now also totaly corrupt and knackered.
I have been told by an expert it has to be the Toshiba hardware, i.e. the laptop itself as the fact it was freezing during booting means it could never have been windows or any of the software. To my horror I checked out the web site here and find Toshibas idea of service is to return it to PC World and let them fix it. They collected my laptop on the 23 December but have lost it. I have spent hours on the phone on a 0844 rate number to no avail.
Im back on the Toshiba web site trying to find a email address to write and complain to. Guess what, I cant even seem to find an email address for the computer division.
Had I known Toshibas idea of service is to return it to the Dixons cowboys to fix, I would never ever have bought it. I doubt I will ever see the lap top again, I put a load of expensive software on it and also I had down loaded 11 hours of family video which i was in the middle of edditing. Hours of work and expense all seem to be up in smoke now.
Its early days, but I rather suspect I am going to regret this purchase.
If anyone has an email address for Toshiba in the UK, please let me know, I wish to repeat the above but in more detail to them.

Another update no joy. After establishing this was fault which i first reported to them on the 16th Dec, now many more times / hours wasted on the 0844 number, I have established its actually the 64GB SSD disk they want to replace, but they claim they dont have one and cant get hold of any to fix the fault.
This Toshiba laptop aside from being faulty from day 1 and the worry caused (Claiming the PC was lost, then later claiming the disk with my data is defective) is a real big problem now. I've now been without a laptop for over 1 month now and its starting to interfere with my work I am unable to do on it.
I am trying to get PC World repair department to return the PC so I can recover the disk drive with my data on it myself. I will then begin the process to take Toshiba / PC World to task in order to cover my expenses and losses and buy a new laptop obvoulsy of a different brand.
I was thinking DELL because I understand that is a manufacturer that actually deals with its customers and indeed if service or repair is needed undertakes such work themselves. (my reasoning that you are then dealing with the organ grinder rather than the monkey). What do other people think?

OS X Freezes as it starts

Dear Friends, Please help me in resolving this problem. I have a MAC G4. OS X is installed on it. The OS freezes as it starts up. No icon appears on the desktop. I have the Restore CD and the Mac OS X installation CDs. I have data on the MAC.

vickent, welcome to Apple Discussions.
You need to post your question in the appropriate OS X forum. See below.
Using OS X Panther 10.3 and earlier @ http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=745
Using OS X Tiger 10.4 @ http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=758
You need to provide more info when you repost your question. What model G4 do you have? What OS X version are you using? I doubt that you are using OS X 10.0.0, since it is obsolete. Has the Mac been operating OK before this problem occurred? Will the Mac boot from the Restore or install CD?
 Cheers, Tom

Recording from previous start position

This might be so basic, but is there a key command for recording from previous recording start? I often find myself in a situation where I record something with my keyboard and wanting to do another take from the same song position I started the previous recording. And loop recording is really not an option here because I like to record longer takes and sometimes I'm just simply not happy with my groove and would just like to start quickly all over again... Thanks!

When you have recorded a take and are not happy with it, pressing the record key again (before stopping your recording) will instantly nuke that take and start recording again from the start point.
Also check out the "Record Repeat" key command.
