Horrible exs24 problems..notes cut off in the middle of a sample

Hi, I have a really serious problem with mainstage and exs24. When I play long samples (strings mostly but also various sequences), sometimes the sample plays for a little while, and then all of a sudden the note gets cut off.
Its not a voices problem ´cause it often happens when i only play 1 sample.
I have seen other people around the net with this problem, but i have not seen any proper solution to the problem. If i play the sample again right after the mishap, it will play fine. Can this be hard-disk related? Or is it something with the exs24 that is playing tricks on me..?
cpu and memory looks fine, like 50%
Was wondering if maybe the disk was in some sleep mode, but then it wouldn´t play the first part of the sample, would it? Was also thinking of maybe turn off virtual memory in the exs in order to load the samples into ram, but you cant do that in mainstage i´m afraid.
I have been embarrased on stage because of this and i don´t like it.
I am desperatly looking for a solid solution to this problem.
My setup : MBP 2.4 ghz 4 gig RAM. RME fireface 400.
Harddisk: wd MyBook studio edition II
Thanks in beforehand

Hi Claes,
I also have this problem and I tried A LOT, I talked a lot and I read a lot and I talked a lot and I read a lot and the problem drove me crazy... After "hundred" of hours working on that I think: if you have that problem you cannot solve it with the exs. It has nothing to do with anything you know is important, that a computer has to have that he can play audio files. I'm shure you NEVER had problems with iTunes playing audio files... But the exs has.
If you just want to play samples I think inside MS there are three solutions: AUAudioFilePlayer, iTunes and GarageBand. I tried them all, you can controll iTunes and GB with AppleScripts and this are possible solutions but they are not very flexible at all.
What I found today and I tested it just for a few hours and by now it works and I tried some of my 1 or two minutes samples and they never cutted of suddenly and it's free and I just cannot believe it that my problem seems to be suddenly solved:

Good luck!

    A song I purchased cuts off in the middle. I can't re-purchase it. What can I do to fix this?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

    According to iTunes, my song is downloaded, but when I play it it's cut off in the middle.  I cannot download it again.  Help!

    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • Keynote 6.5 audio cuts off in the middle of a recording

    I am trying to record a Keynote presentation with narrative then convert it to a movie and post it to YouTube.  I created and saved the presentation, verified the recording then exported it to Quicktime.  From there, I loaded it up to YouTube but discovered that the audio was cut off within the first minute or two.  When I went back to the original recording, it appears that the audio was cut off when it was being converted to a movie.  Is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong?  Any fixes out there?  Thank you.

    One example of an affected clip:
    Source is from a Panasonic HD camera--so transferred to FC from a P2 card
    Item properties:
    817.5 MB
    960x720
    DVCPRO HD 720p60, Interger (little Endian), Timecode
    Hey--could this be caused by the frame rate of the sequence? I just noticed that the sequence these affected clips are in is 60fps, and my video clips are 23.98fps. So--I copied and pasted my clips into a new 23.98 sequence and the issue has gone away. Huh. Oops... Not enough coffee this morning.
    Thanks for trying to help out--sorry to have answered my own question (duh).

  • Tape delay gets cut off in the middle of a project

    I'm working on a multichannel 24bit, 48kHz audio project in Soundtrack Pro version 1.1.
    I'm using WAVs as source material.
    One of the audiotracks contains a short sample of 1 second, that has a Tape Delay effect on it with the feedback on 55%, so it keeps repeating for about a minute. At least, that's what is should do.
    The problem is that it gets cut off after around 15 seconds.
    This does not happen when I solo the track or some of the tracks.
    I've converted the 24bit, 48kHZ source WAVs to 24bit & 16bit AIFFs, but this doesn't make a difference.
    I found a work around, by solo exporting & importing the track with the delay on it, but this is not how it should be.
    Has anyone had similar problems and maybe found a solution?
    Thanks.

    For everybody who has the same problem: I found a solution.
    Soundtrack appears to end an effect abruptly after around 15 seconds when there are no new clips on the timeline in that track.
    The solution is adding 'silent clips' in those tracks every 10 or 15 seconds for as long as the effect has to continue. Not very elegant, but it works.

  • [Q] loaded jpg is cut off in the middle!!!!

    Hi, I am having troulbe loading an external jpg image
    jpg file is long rectangular shape (width 700px * height
    8000px <possiblely longer>), and around 1.2mb.
    I am loading image with listener (onComplete?: I was using
    someone else's tutorial, sorry for my lact of knowledge)
    Everything worked..tutorial was great..and result was fine
    HOWEVER, when I am loading my own image(which i specified
    above), It seems like only 1/3 of jpg file is loaded.
    (I wantted to make a scrollable image gallery sort of
    thing..showing long portrait images)
    I was wondering is there any external file size limit in
    flash???
    or height(pixel size) limit?? or any other possibly related
    issue that i am not aware of???
    Can someone help me out ?
    Is there any way I can fix it without touching jpg images?
    (last way would be cutting the all jpg images into smaller
    pieces or making images size smaller :'()
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIIME ~~

    yes, there's a limit of 2880 pixels in height and width for
    an image.
    to remedy, import your jpg to flash and publish the swf. you
    should be able to load the swf and get around the 2880 limit.
    there are other work-arounds, but that one is the
    easiest.

  • When uploading videos to iWeb, the video screen gets cut off at the top. It only happens in Firefox, but not in Safari.

    When uploading videos to iWeb, the video screen gets cut off at the top. It only happens in Firefox, but not in Safari. Has anybody else had this problem?

    I'm using pure HTML5 for mobile websites although you need to provide an OGG file for Firefox. See the movie page on this site...
    http://mobile.ezmacwebdesign.com/
    If you don't have an iPhone, grab the browser handle and drag it to the left to reduce the width to see how it responds to mobile devices' fixed width browsers .
    This will play in all modern browsers and on mobile devices. You can use QuickTime Pro for the OGG or OGV conversion or get the freeware Miro Video Converter...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Easy-Movie-Player.html
    If you only want to upload an MP4, you can use a flash fallback player and this will cover Firefox and those geriatrics that still use older versions of Internet Explorer....

    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Fallback-To-Flash.html
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/JW-Media-Player.html
    If you use any of the four fallback players above, take advantage of the fact that you can add a poster image and stop the video file from preloading. This makes for a faster page download time.
    You can also achieve this using HTML5 by adding preload="none" and poster="URL to the poster image" into the code shown on this page...

    Downloaded John Mayer album bur one song is cut off at the end, how to fix??

    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting that song from your iTunes library and redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if it re-downloads in the state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that song and use the 'Report a Problem' link.
