HELP!! Certain Audio Regions aren't playing

HELP!! certain audio regions in my session just suddenly stopped playing. other ones around them play its like they're on mute but they're not! I dont know wat to do

Have you tried to reset GarageBand?
Go to the "My Songs" view to save your current project, quit GarageBand, and the open the "Settings" app. Scroll down to the applications and select "GarageBand". Enable "Reset".
Check, how much free memory is left on your iPad.  Playing certain instruments requires a lot of memory. You may need to make more space by deleting apps or documents, i.e. videos, photos, music.

  • Midi notes or audio region do not play at the start of a bar?

    I am having an issue with a midi loop I have created. If I let the song play a bit until it reaches the loop, logic works just as you'd expect it and everything plays correctly. But if I stop the song, or if I set the song into cycle mode so it repeats, the very first note of the midi loop is ignored, and not played.
    So for example, if I set the cursor to start at bar 9, the starting point of the loop, the first midi note is not played. But if a set the cursor at bar 8 and let it play into bar 9 and the loop, all of the notes in the loop play correctly.
    I found the following description of the same problem on another forum, but it seemed to suggest that there is no fix for this, which if true, seems kinda bad for a pro application. I was wondering if anyone knew of a workaround or fix to this, because its really annoying missing the notes, or having to expand the cycle region just to get all of the notes to play. Here is the text from the other forum:
    _Logic doesn't play the very start of my audio regions when I start playback_
    Question: If a region starts at e.g. 1 1 1 1, and it starts playing from the same position, it seems that Logic misses the first few samples - which is especially noticeable with fast-attack transients.
    Answer: Apparently Logic doesn't use some kind of pre-play buffering. The workaround is to have your entire song start e.g. one bar later, at 2 1 1 1, and let Logic play from 1 1 1 1. This workaround obviously doesn't work if you've set up a cycle - in which case Logic will miss the first samples when it starts playing as well. Next time it loops through the cycle it does play properly. There's no workaround for this - it's a serious shortcoming of the way Logic handles audio playback. With cycles, you could resort to using the Pause instead of the Play button/command: this will let you start playback from somewhere before the start of the cycle instead of starting at cycle-start (which is what Play does).

    I'm having the same problem.
    one workaround is to change the delay to +1/192=20 in the delay box in inspector on the given midi track...but this is a terrible thing to have to do over and over again.
    PLEASE help if you know what's going on.....I ran logic on my macbook and this NEVER happened. I just bought a macbook pro 2.5 and it's apparently now an issue?
    I have searched the net for fixes, and none work....logic does have a pre-play buffer, but it's range isnt large enough to buffer the instrument I'm using...which means the range is less than 1/192...come on....that's messed.
    If anyone figures this out, please message me back at [email protected]

  • Backwards tape effect ? How do I flip an audio region so it plays backwards ?

    Seems this option should be obvious - any help is appreciated - thanks

    Hi there,
    Have a nice day!

  • Logic wont play back audio regions under certain tracks.

    Hello! I am rearranging my audio files (throwing them all to my secondary hard drive, where I record to ). I did this, and now certain audio files to do not play back in my logic projects, but there is no warning that says the file cannot be found--which is what I am used to happening. At that point I would either hit the Search button, or the Manually Find button. Instead, the region appears as per usual, just with nothing playing back. I know I could import the audio back into my projects manually--which would be fine for those that start at a specific, clean-cut time, but what about all those spliced and diced regions that are cut up and laid out all over the place!?
    I discovered new details to the weirdness . . .
    It seems, in the few projects that I relocated audio, that the affected regions cannot be played back unless I move them to another audio track. What??? For example, the vocal track in one song, which is all set up with its plugins and such as Audio Track 2, will produce no sound unless I drag it to another audio track, say Audio Track 3 or 4. It is bonkers!! What the heck is that about?
    This is what happened in all of the projects affected by my source audio rearrangement. Sure, I could easily just copy my channel strip settings to a new track, relocate my audio region to it, and hope all goes well thereforth, but I would much rather get to the root of this oddity so it doesn't somehow buck me later.
    What do you think it could be?
    Oh yea, in one of the projects, all the other audio tracks seem to play back fine, except for the recorded bass track. Okay, so just to check, I drag the bass audio to another track--yep, it does play back. But I realized that the track that held the bass region (Track 4) is actually playing back the vocals (which are also playing back normally in their intended track). I initially didn't notice the extra vocals underneath my normal vocals track, with their low-key bass plug-in settings. Funny thing is, there isn't even a region on Track 4 any more! How is it playing anything back at all?? Not that it makes any more sense that it would be playing back vocals with a bass region.
    Also, the fact that Logic Pro keeps quitting unexpectedly does not inspire much confidence. This has just been lately, and I've only been playing with these projects lately, trying to figure this out.
    Is my Logic haunted? =(
    I welcome any and all objective suggestions! I am feeling just the slightest bit overwhelmed by this odd behavior.
    Thanks!
    (i checked, but did not see that the tracks were muted in anyway, including the region itself)

    I figured something out that might tell someone what I did to screw things up!
    I think I did something to mess up the environment or something. I know this much now: When I created a new project, I created 6 new audio tracks. I noticed that a piece of previously recorded audio that I imported into the project would only play back on ever other track! I than noticed that on the every other track (that would not play back the audio when it was dragged to it), there was neither a single circle (indicating mono for the track) or the two overlapping circles (indicating stereo for the track) beneath the channel's level meter.
    There must be some significance to this that I do not quite understand!
    I then went back and launched several of my problematic projects to see if the tracks that would not play back audio also did not display either the mono or stereo circles on their respective channel strips. They did not! What kind of global setting did I change that would cause this?
    There was one project that had one track that bared neither mono or stereo an played back its audio (Although, in this same project, there was another track that bared neither symbol that was not playing back its audio). Anyway, I noticed something that was weird to me, but will likely tell someone what the heck I must have inadvertently done to cause all of this:
    When I change one audio track (that bares the mono symbol) into stereo, the next audio track (that didn't display either symbol) seems like it is combined with the previous track's output!
    Very strange! Did I somehow set some global preference to split up my audio tracks across each not audio track?? If so, could someone please explain to me what and I did that? Thanks!

    i need help guys mi karaoke videos aren't playing anymore how can i download some drivers for it ?

    Drivers? You need a program to run them such as K-Jams. Then you will need to check your connections from the laptop to the monitor and make sure your settings are correct in System Preferences.

  • Help getting  desired audio  region into the sample editor

    Chapter 21 of the manual is of no help. Assume I have to audio regions on the same track--singer sang first part of song..... big pause... then sings second half of song ( same track but two distinct ausio regions) All I want to do is be able to quickly have a desire region show up in the sample editor to do edits. The actual instructions about editing are pretty clear. But getting the correct region to show up in the sample editor is the hard part. Even if I click the audio track and click the audio region desired, some other region or some region on another track will be there. And I can't change. This shouldn't be that hard. +I do not to have this problem with piano roll and software intrument regions. You simply click a software track region and click piano roll and the detail of the region shows up+...... Is there a simple protocol for getting a desired audio region to show up in sample editor. Notice that there is no clear explanation for this basic, antecedent task in Chapter 21.

    You can't really 'quantize' audio. If it is a single track like stacatto mute guitar, or snare drum hits - you could. Use the 'strip silence command' and then in the list editor highlight all the individual pieces of audio and quantize that.
    But if the audio is continous or there are too many notes very close together you will not be able to do that.
    If you mean that the track was a 'real guitar' (by musiclab) - yes you can quantize the midi notes.

  • MOVING AUDIO REGIONS PROBLEM! HELP!

    SO, I recorded a 3 piece band live...great,
    when i was recording guitar overdubs, i dragged the audio regions over to make room for a guitar intro, but i didn't select all the other overdubs...oops.
    after recording the intro at that location, i found that some of the other overdubs weren't lined up!!!
    Is there a way to snap regions back to where they were recorded relative to other regions!
    **NOT move region to original record position. that doesn't help because the original record positions are different for different overdubs. I tried dragging them back manually, but that takes forever, and i'm afraid there will be phase issues if it's not exact where it was tracked. please help.

    Well, I tried the undo list which I haven´t used before. Mainly because I never make mistakes.
    I admit I couldn´t get it do it exactly the way that would be useful for you. It´s not like actions in Soundtrack Pro. The undo list gets slightly confused if you try to undo one action in the middle of many. I actually get warnings about messed up time continuums and other sci-fi like messages...
    The event list thing is really handy. If you open a previous version of your song where the regions are where they´re supposed to be you can select them. Open the event list. There you´ll see where they all start.
    Make a mental note of where the first or topmost region begins (or double click and copy the info). Switch to song 2. Select the relevant regions. Move all these regions to the same start as in song 1.
    (Or you can do it one region at a time, hence the suggestion to have two edit lists open simultanously. Time consuming, but possibly succesful.)
    Hope this helped!

  • HELP: Audio regions get out of sync when I change tempo

    I've got Logic Pro 9. I've recorded audio on a few tracks, and they sound great together. When I go to change tempo (either in the transport bar or in the tempo track), the regions change in size and move around horizontally, and get out of sync as a result.
    Has anyone had this problem? Why should changing the tempo of the project affect the position of the audio regions IN RELATION TO ONE ANOTHER? I want them to stay in sync after changing tempo.
    Thanks in advance!

    The reason they move is that logic is a bar/beat based Sequencer rather than a time based sequencer like pro tools. The regions adhere to the tempo grid and when the tempo is changed, they seemingly lengthen or shorten because the tempo shifts the bar/beat grid with respect to time--and audio regions normally Are inflexible and last for a fixed amount of time no matter what the tempo is changed to. This is an advantage when your audio is quantized musical events, but for non musical events it's a disaster because it screws up your edits.
    To fix the problem, find the timelock key command and highlight all regions you don't want the tempo change to affect. after selecting them all, timelock them with this command.
    But, from your post Im guessing that you have bigger problems than this....Timelocking regions will only prevent region starts from shifting around and will leave all your edits unchanged. but it won't speed or slow down your audio; It will not alter lengths to fit a new tempo. if your tracks are music tracks in a certain tempo and you are trying to change the tempo of your recorded audio, you must enable the flex mode on each track. For this you should read the part of the manual on the flex engine. Bear in mind that the audio quality of this ranges from ok to terrible depending on the material.
    The moral of the story is that you should try to arrive at the correct tempo before recording audio tracks.

  • Punched audio regions are visible but wrong older pass plays back.errgh

    This has happened to me before. VERY FRUSTRATING. Why aren't the latest punched in audio regions sounding even after you trick the arrange window into showing them.(I hate that you have to click all over the place to get regions with punch-ins to behave visually)..and some times what you see is not what you get to hear.I end up deleting old passes in the audio window until the one take is the only one left.This is a terrible workaround.I do not want to use toggle erase mode either.Just want to hear what I see in the arrange window.Any suggestions, settings, modes I might be missing ? It's getting difficult to trust punching in audio when a crucial take is getting lost under layers, or isn't there for review immediately !!

    pardon,I'm a little confused... Scenario:Not using cycle record. One track for a lead vocal.I puch in vocal phrases.Is there a technique for going back to earlier pass takes and lock a take in the arrange window if I want to ?Why create duplicate tracks?I do not want to create extra tracks,want the lead vocal to be on it's own single track that has punches.I usually only want the most recent punch as I move on after a good take.In this current song I rewind happy to hear my performance but I end up seeing it(the punch)but hearing and underlying take ??? Why. PLease elaborate. Thanks ~

  • Copied audio region doesnt play!

    Hi
    Heres my problem that I just cant figure out why logic behaves like that...
    http://argohoo.com/Kuvat/logic_comp.jpg
    So, I´ve recorded normally and different takes shows up on takes list... after several takes I copy a part of audio from another location on top of those takes and thats what happens... the copied audio doesnt play, its the latest recorded audio-take that plays....

    "Mute either one of them and the unmuted one will play. One Audio object ( an Audio track) can only play back 1 Audio file at once."
    Yeah, of course but shouldnt Logic automatically mute all other audio files other than the latest, just like it does when you overbud, it doesnt leave previous audiofiles "active", it mutes all other besides the latest take! Why it doesnt mute older takes/files/regions when I copy audio... I guess thats not how it supposed to work!
    Oh well, it may be a temp bug ´cause when I tried same thing (on same session though) on other location... [recorded several takes and then copied audio on that same location] it worked like it was supposed to, copied areas were muted on all the other regions/takes underneath it!
    Or course I can adjust and mute and demute takes later but the point is that it should automatically always play the region thats on top of everything else if not adjusted/muted etc on takes!

  • Need help with resizing audio regions

    Hey guys,
    When I resize an audio region it seems to snap to maybe 1/128th of the bar to the left or right of the beginning of a bar... (and it changes, sometimes like 1/64) for example:
    I resize an audio region to end it on a bar and instead of it ending on 9 - 0 - 0 it ends on 9 - 0 - .05. So I have to zoom in horizontally to around 90% to get the region to "snap" to the beginning of a bar and its really time consuming.
    This brings me to another question... how can I get logic to zoom in on the time identifier line? not just the middle of the view?
    (example) my view port will be from -1 - 0 - 0 to like 30 - 0 - 0 but the timeline identifier is on 25 - 0 - 0 but it zooms into the middle of the view port to 14 - 0 -0
    Any way to get it to snap to like 1/32 when resizing ?
    Thanks
    J

    Never mind, i found it as soon as i asked.

  • Overlap audio regions on 1 track without cutting the previous one off

    Im trying to overlap multiple audio regions on one track, so that the next one starts before the previous one ends but when i do this, each consecutive overlap basically replaces the remaining region of the one before it. to be more specific in order to maybe paint a better picture of what i am asking... i am creating machine gun audio for a video clip and i have a loop of a single shot plus the shell falling to the ground. im trying to overlap the loops so that the single shot of each come together in rapid fire succession to create the machine gun firing sound, but i want the sound of the shell falling for each shot to continue to play under the multiple copies of the overlapping loop. the problem is, when i overlap multiple loops, its not finishing the noise of the shell falling to the ground for each shot, it only plays the falling shell at the very end when there is no other overlap. i hope i did an ok job explaining what i am asking, haha trying to type this out was much more difficult that initially anticipated. thanks in advance for any help.

    That's normal. Audio tracks are not polyphonic. Use several tracks or EXS24.

  • How do I solve unwanted playback distortion on certain audio CDs?

    I am having issues with distortion either playing back, or ripping certain audio CDs. I have checked the audio settings, it's nothing to do with them.  I have checked the CDs in other devices, it's not them. I've tried other CDs, they work fine. I've tried playing audio files, they play just fine.  
    I've performed a system restore back to the 7th August that hasn't solved it (but I might try going back further).  And it doesn't seem to be anything to do with my software as I'm having issues on both iTunes and Windows Media Player 12.
    I'm operating Windows 7 Home premuim on a HP Pavillion g6 1207sa. I'm at my wits end as I seem to have tried everything and thus far have got nowhere. Help!

    Thanks for your reply. Sorry I wasn't specific about this. I get distortion in iTunes when I play straight from this particular CD and when I import it. With QuickTime, I get no distortion when I play straight from the CD, but (I hadn't tried this before but I just gave it a go) I do get distortion when I play the .m4a file created by iTunes. So presumably it's something iTunes is doing when it processes the .aiff file from the CD.
    At the moment the import settings are:
    Import using: AAC Encoder
    Setting: High Quality (128 kbps)
    with the 'Use error correction...' box checked.
    I've never had to touch them before. Is there a better setting to use for importing early CDs?
    Thanks.
