Garage Band/Guitar Help!  My notes keep cutting off after a few seconds

So, I am having this problem where when I play my electric guitar, notes don't carry after a few seconds, especially if I try to bend the note.  Cords seem to have sustain but whenever I play a solo string and try to bend or tremelo it, it cuts off within a second or two.  When I say cuts off I mean the sound completely vanishes. Is there a fix for this?  I tried the Squash Compressor but this failed.
Thanks and hope there is a fix as this is killing my jam.

  • Song on iPod cutting off after a few seconds

    A particular song on my iPod keeps cutting off after just a few seconds. When I play the song in iTunes it plays just fine. I've tried deleting the song from my iPod and reloading it, but it still does the same thing. I have several hundred songs on my iPod and this is the only one I've had any trouble with ... please help!

    Have you updated iTunes and iPod Updater??

  • Videos cut off after a few seconds (MacBook Air)

    In the last few days, I haven't been able to play videos on my original MBA: they start, but freeze after a few seconds. I've tried the usual housekeeping - rebooting, repairing permissions, PRAM - but no luck. Can't find any relevant advice by googling.
    Any suggestions?
    A separate but possibly related problem is that the sound icon is greyed out, and I can't get any sound.
    I'd be grateful for any advice.
    Many thanks!

    yes ive had this problem too on an imac 1.8 G5.
    anyone???
    help its completely annoying!

  • It seems after I do a sync, some of my songs are cut off after a few seconds of playing. This has happened several times. What is the problem?

    Every now and then (I think it is after I do a sync) my songs cut off after the first few seconds. I went back to itunes and check the song and now the song can't be found. Or, the song cuts of there also.............The songs played fine up until this point. This has happened several times in the past year.

    To delete all music from the iPod go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music

  • Why does my keyboard controller keep cutting out after a few seconds?

    I Have an M-Audio controller.  It has worked fine before.  When I record a software instrument track,  It works fine for a few measures,  then it stops working.  the music continues to play, but my keyboard just doesn't work.  I unplug the usb cable and plug it back in.  Then It works again for a few seconds and again stops working.  What could cause this?

  • Itunes keeps cutting off the last few seconds of each track!

    Help!
    I'm trying to import from a CD, and for some (but not all) of the tracks being imported, when I go to play them from my Library, itunes skips the last few seconds of the song and jumps to the next one. Usually it wouldn't be a problem, because most tracks on CDs have some dead time at the end, but for these you are supposed to go directly from one track to another - without down time in between or skipping any of the track (one song is spread out over several tracks).
    I've tried re-importing the tracks using both the AAC encoder and MP3 encoder, specifying the the track end at a particular time (stop time - this information shows up when I "get info" on the track, under options) and the track length in my library shows up as that exact time from the CD. itunes just doesn't play the full length of the track!
    How do I get itunes to play each track to the very end before jumping to the next one?
    Jen

    and the track length in my library shows up as that exact time from the CD
    iTunes should play the full track. Did you tick the 'Crossfade playback' checkbox in Preferences>Playback? If so, uncheck it.
    If the problem persists you can check if it's an inporting problem or an iTunes setting problem by doing this:
    In iTunes select a 'problemtrack'.
    Choose 'Show Song File' from the File menu (command-R).
    Select the file and control-click on it.
    Choose 'Open With' and select 'Quicktime Player' as the program to open the file with.
    Now play the 'problemtrack' in Quicktime Player to the end and see if it still skips the last seconds.
    If it plays the full track, your imports are OK.
    Hope this helps.

    i have all the apple gadgets, but iphone4s really ***** my life.i have told them that i will pay the difference amount for iphone5, but the store guys says they cannot. with this problem, they now sold me a protection plan for 60 pounds.
    I think, apple really ***** after steve jobs.if apple does not respond i am sure i will move to samsung 4

  • My nano is fully charged and when I use the earphones it comes with, the nano stops playing my music after a few seconds and turns off.  But when I use another earphone, it's okay and stays on. How do I keep the nano from turning off after a few seconds?

    Why does my nano keep turning off after a few seconds while I'm listening to my music?  It's fully charged and brand new.

    I've tried everything in the article "Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista and Windows 7 video playback performance issues''. Here are my results.
    My computer meets the requirements.
    All software (Windows, iTunes and QuickTime) are up to date.
    As for updating my drivers, I found nothing labeled 'Video'. The closest thing I found in Computer/Manage/Device Manager was to click + next to 'Display Adapters' under that I found 'Intel (R) HD Graphics Family' which I right-cicked. From the menu, instead of 'Properties', I selected 'Update Driver Software...', then I selected 'Search Automatically for updated driver software'. I saw the messages "Searching for Software... Searching online for Software... The best driver software for your device is already installed. Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date." I got these same messages when I searched for updated audio drivers.
    My computer is already at the highest display resolution. (1366 x 768 recommended) That's as high as my resolution will go. Hmm, I noticed the article's example shows '(1920 x1080 recommended)'. Is my max 1366 x 768 resolution high enough?
    As for QuickTime, deselecting 'Enable Direct3D video acceleration' had no effect. Disabling the DirectX entirely (Safe mode (GDI only)) allowed the audio to play, but there was no video, only a black screen.
    As for turning on DMA, the only item under 'IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers' is 'Intel Mobile Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller' So I right-clicked, selected 'Properties'. There's no 'Advanced Settings' tab in there. The tabs are 'General, Drivers, Details, Resources' no 'Advanced Settings' anywhere. So much for that.
    'Readyboost' was already set at 'Do not use'.
    No 'NVIDIA nForce Serial ATA (SATA) controllers' exist in my computer.
    The problem still exists. Please help.

  • When I connect my guitar using apogee jam the note drops off after a few seconds. Why???

    When I connect my guitar using apogee jam the note drops off after a few seconds. Why???
    Its the same on most of the preset amps.
    Please help, the apogee cost me £80!

    Is it stopping recording after 8 seconds? Are you using Garage Band?
    If both of these are correct:
    This is actually a feature (i'm not sure why it defaults to this).  Instructions for the iPhone version are below:
    With the amp section open, touch the sproket on the upper right.
    You should be in a "settings" type area with three tabs.  Touch "Sections"
    Select the section and switch it to automatic - it will now record until you stop recording by touching the stop icon.

  • I have downloaded a CD from iTunes onto my matchbook pro but the first three songs cut out after a few seconds? Help!

    I have downloaded a CD from iTunes onto my Macbook pro but the first three songs cut out after a few seconds? Help!

    Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past music purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
