Intermittant sound, audio tracks playing broken up

I've just upgraded to iTunes 7.2 and Quicktime 7.1.6
None of the tracks in my library are playing properly, regardless of their format - I've tried M4p, M4a, MP3, WAV and AIFF, nothing will play without breaking up.
When I first installed iTunes 7.2, I didn't have any problems, everything played as it normally does. Without having done anything new in the last couple of days, it has decided not to play tracks.
I've restarted the machine incase it was a RAM issue, but it appears not.

same problem here...I thought it was my ipod, which I am playing off.
if the itunes window is in front, it does pretty well...but in the background...forget it

Multiclips and multiple audio tracks playing at the same time

I've only just taken delivery of my first ever mac (only ever used PC) with FCP, and I'm loving it already! Done lots of reading and viewing of video etc etc, and it's not as daunting as I thought it might be. I have one question the books don't seem to answer, and I can only find one reference to this on this site, with no definitive response. FCP5 probably doesn't work this way, but just in case someone knows different......
I film and edit motorsport (karting) programmes for television in the UK, using multiple cameras. I usually lay all the video and audio tracks on the timeline, (synched) lock the audio for each (as it is engine noise, and I want it playing without abrupt changes at cuts as each kart passes each camera, whether in shot or not) then cut the video tracks and delete those video segments not required.
The most exciting aspect of FCP5 for me is the multiclip editing facility, which I have found very easy to learn and is going to save me hours of work! However, I want to know if there is a way of having each audio track from each camera used in the multiclip laid down on the timeline when you import the multiclip to the timeline from the viewer, in order that I can play each audio track from each of the cameras at the same time.
I know how to cut from angle to angle, leaving the audio from the selected angle as the one audio track playing, but I want all of the tracks to appear in the timeline and play at the same time. I know there's a bit of a workaround by locking the video and importing each audio track from each clip independently, but if you do have to re-synch one of the multiclips, this means the audio is not then synched with the original clip, which will have had an in point set before being imported in as part of a multiclip.
I can understand why you might want to keep audio from one camera only playing over the whole multiclip, or to switch between audio from each, but in my case I prefer all audio to play at the same time. The workaround is still do-able for me as I'm only talking about engine notes, which if they are a few frames out is not very noticeable at all, but I would like to know if I'm right in thinking I cannot do it the way I would like to?
Wish I'd used FCP from the start, but glad I've got it now.....especially with the 30 inch screen! It's 4.40am, been going over 19 hours straight and I'm still making comments like...."WOW, that's brilliant"...every half hour!

Multiple audio tracks playing at the same time?

Does the Adobe Elements 12 allow us to have mulitple audio tracks playing at the same time? Is there a limit to the number of tracks?
Thanks!

Hi Jennifer3211,
Yes you can play multiple audio tracks simultaneously. The maximum no. of audio tracks can be 99.
Thanks

Audio tracks playing different audio tracks - routing issue?

I'm having trouble with some routing issues I believe. Here's the deal:
Some audio tracks are playing different audio tracks, when that region is not even in it. For instance:
Track #2 is Soloed. Output is Output 1-2. I hear the audio file that is in Track #1, which is NOT Soloed and I shouldn't even hear. I don't hear anything from Track #2. The only way I can hear Track #2 is by playing it from the audio bin, which obviously isn't going to work out right.
If I drag the audio region of Track #2 to a brand new audio track, I still don't hear anything. Is it possible this audio file(s) got corrupted somehow?
Please help!

Check the parameters, in the left side of the arrange page window.
To me, it sounds as if you have a bunch of arrange tracks, which are all playing back through audio track #1.

Importing a project into PE 12 trial version, not all audio tracks play back!

I'm trying the trial vesion of PE 12. Imported a project that I had created with PE 9. Everything appears to have been imported, including all the audio tracks. But when i play it back, some of the audio tracks are completely muted, while others, are fine and I can hear it.
Any idea what can cause this?

With "muted" Audio Tracks, I would look at a few possibilities, and especailly with a Project created in an earlier version of PrE:
Open Audio Mixer, and look to see if any Tracks are Muted.
Play the Timeline, and observe the Levels in Audio Mixer, and also whether there is any movement of the "sliders" in Audio Mixer.
Observe which Audio Tracks your Audio Clips are, in the Timeline, and report those please.
Making sure that Keyframe Display is set to Volume in your Audio Clips, are there any Volume Keyframes?
I am sure that others will have a few more ideas, and questions.
Good luck,
Hunt

Audio tracks play back wrong audio

at some point in my mix sessions , in different sessions , one of my audio tracks starts playing back audio from both its channel and another channel simultaineously. there not always adjacent tracks , not assigned to the same voice and have seemingly nothing in common. if i change voices i can sometimes allieviate the problem or it will start playing a different track audio simultaineously. i have two records pending and need some immediate help please...

D,
Just to warn you (or throw some experience in). Logic 7 has for me, operated poorly with sessions created from older versions of Logic. It is often fine if you just want to duck in and grab something but the sessions do go weird if you just keep using them they go batty and can often get kind of self destructive.
Updating/merging/replacing the environment is one of the first steps to take, just creating new updated objects helps, even using presets and channel strips from older versions seem to give problems. Copying objects and configurations over can give you different results, but basically the more you replace and create as new the less problems you'll have.
So you know you have alot of reworking to do if you really want to do alot of work with these in the current version. Determine where a good transition point would be and try to follow with that. Often mixing or sooner than later but plan on taking some time reworking things. It's almost easiest to just grab everything and paste it over into a 7 built autoload-without the plugins. Audio Objects and plugin instances seem to give alot of problems. I usually end up redoing a bunch of stuff if I have a ways to go and export away. Things really get fixed along the way but it is a pain and better to do it sooner. Unless you're coming up on a mixing stage or something soon I'd just do it (and keep a backup of the older versions just in case I want to retrieve something.
I am working on an album that was created on a 6 autoload and 12 of 13 tracks had to be reformatted in 7 from forward INcompatabilities-some of them twice because they did not get a 100% clean autoload (as in the instruments and/or audio objects were opied over). Maybe I'm just weird, don't take only my word on this because it is alot of work for many projects to just redo things like this but you should be aware of what some people have encountered and be prepared to take some of those steps if there are more people saying their experience has been like this.
Best of Luck

Audio Tracks playing but instrument tracks almost mute - anybody had this?

I have two audio tracks which are playing correctly but the instrment tracks are playing almost mute. I don' tthink I changed anything to cause this to happen... Any ideas? thanks

Audio tracks playing audio when there are no objects...!?

Hi. I would be really grateful if anyone could help me with this problem as I have spent days and nights tearing my hair out so far.
Basically, all my LSO's were created in Logic 6.4.3 and were working fine until (I think) I upgraded to 10.4.8. Since then I have just bought the upgrade to 7.2.3 to try and rectify this problem but still to no avail.
What is happening is that in all my songs, I have tracks playing audio there is no audio object there. I also have audio objects that are not playing at all.
The strange thing is that I have tried in Logic Express and there are no problems with the same songs.
I have been using Logic since version 4 so am a relatively experienced user; I have tried all the obvious stuff (trashing prefs, permissions etc) as well as checking all my inputs, outputs etc in Logic itself. However, what has happened has ultimately changed all my songs in one go and has not been caused by any mistake in use.
As I said, I am really desperate here and would be so grateful if someone can suggest how to overcome these issues.
many thanks

thanks for your reply.
Everything is in order in the Mixer and Arrange window. I have checked the Environment and even tried building an Environment from scratch.
I have removed all plugins to see if that is causing it but still nothing.
As I say, exactly the same arrangements are playing fine (just as they used to!) in Logic Express but if I try in either 7.2.3 or go back to 6.4.3, I have this problem...
Please keep the suggestions coming as I really don't know how I can sort this out and it affects all of my work (3 albums +)
thanks again

DVD Player audio track plays slower than Video and at transposed pitch

I have a strange problem with DVD player. I have an opera DVD (not a commercial one - it is from a personal performance and is on a DVD-R disk)) which I put in my Mac Book Pro (OSX 10.5.6)and DVD Player played it fine. I wanted to try to convert the info on the DVD to extract a short section of the DVD. I went to Hand Brake and tried that, it told me I needed to install VLC which I did, Hand Brake then recoded the Files. Now when I insert the DVD though DVD Player starts automatically but plays the DVD audio at a slower speed and transposed lower. I have no idea why this is! Needless to say I do not want it playing slower. VLC also did not work very well with the audio so I have uninstalled the VLC program as it played the VOB files but the sound track was very wonky with the pitch shifting all over the place. How do I return to having DVD Player working properly?

okay, I can help you a little bit. your dvd player (standalone) plays mpeg-2, I think, so
in order for a disk to work in it, both the audio and video have to be combined into a whole package, which i think is video_ts.Using Toast, choose video, then dvd-video then drag n' drop, and it may work. As far as i know, disk utility cannot make video dvd's, but I may be wrong, and you may be right. I used iDVD, but there are probably other programs that may do as good a job of burning. Oh, and this is most important: Some blanks will work ok, and others won't. Verbatim, maxell ( I think) and Taiyo Yuden will work fine. the other ones are a gamble. I think what it's supposed to do is called muxing. I'm sure someone will correct me on this. You could try using "Burn" which is relatively cheap or Handbrake and see if that will do what you want to do. not that it's super important, but the amount of Ram in your machine is helpful too
anyways, good luck

Why won't audio tracks play in order?

Yesterday I ripped 7 CD's of an audio recording of a meeting that I had purchased. I put them into a playlist with the correct order — disk 1, disk 2, etc., each disk having more than one track. However, when I play the playlist it does not play in order but jumps around. I did not use Shuffle to make it do that so I don't know why this is happening. I am wondering if it is because I did not manually number the tracks within each disk. Could that be a factor?

I've had this same problem. Copy To Play Order didn't work. Shuffle is off for everything. Tried deleting and re-synching. Nothing.
But I found this elsewhere that fixed everything:
Even when you don't have Shuffle pushed, your iPod automatically shuffles songs after you start the first song.
To turn this off, after selecting a song, tap the album cover. A menu appears with the time bar and another set of shuffle and repeat icons. Tap the shuffle button to turn shuffle off and the playlist with play in order.
I wouldn't have EVER thought to tap the album cover to find this hidden shuffle button. Now my playlist works perfectly. Yea!

Duel audio tracks playing on safari

It is just happened recently that I am having problems to play youtube video link on my website. For some reasons, a second audio will be played when I pause the video, and it cannot be stopped until I leave that page. Does anyone know how to fix it?
It happens on chromo as well, but not on firefox and IE.
Thanks a lot.
Vegame

Thank you! You're a lifesaver!
I did switch it off in another project and I forgot to turn it back on. I never realized how serious the difference between the two modes is, good to know for the future.

How do you extend the audio track on the menu to keep playing?

I am new to using DVD studio Pro 4. I created a menu with a video clip from one of the short films on the DVD. I set it as the asset for the dropzone using the Panes Rectangle Frosted Window 1. The duration of the menu is 30 seconds and then it ends in the last frame of the clip with a still. I have an audio track playing and I want it to continue playing over the still (after the video clip has finished) until someone navigates away from the menu. Any advice on how to do this? Thanks so much!

Unfortunately to do that you would have to edit the clip you want and then have the still at the end actually extend to the end of the audio (so it would really be a still at all but you would create it in Final Cut so it looks like a still - if that makes sense)
Basically the Video and Audio have to be the same length and then the menu loops back. You can't have the visual part of the menu stop at the end as a still and the music continue. You can only fake it so it looks that way

MPEG-4 ( H.264 ) Movies play ALL audio tracks simultaneously

In i-Tunes , when I try to play MPEG4's with multiple audio tracks (such as 1-english 2-director comment)both audio tracks play at the same time.
The files are MPEG-4's created by Nero Recode (AVC – HDTV profile).
There is no issue with any similar files with one audio track.
There is no issue playing these in VLC , WMP Mplayer, etc.
Is there an option to enable i-Tunes to allow me to select only one track?
Vista Ultimate 64-bit installed on a Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz dual core CPU

Or, could someone explain how I might be able to view the file information in Terminal?

Movies - Multiple audio tracks strange problem

This is a strange problem.
I have a .mov with 2 audio tracks. One italian (the first and active) and one english. The movie is compatible with ATV.
Using QuickTime Pro I can choose the language while watching the movie.
Using iTunes I see the movie with the first language selected on preferences (cmd+j on QuicTime Pro).
On ATV the same movie plays just English, the second language, and this is quite strange.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Greetings
Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hmm, I don't really know. I have converted the DVD with 128 kbps for the two audio traks (stereo).Sounds like I need to go back and run additional tests. For my first attempt, I used two stereo tracks -- each 128 Kbps @ 44.1 KHz. For latest test used two mono tracks with the first 64 Kbps @ 44.1 KHz (keyed to English) and the second 32 Kbps @ 32 KHz (keyed to Italian).
I create a m4v video, I open with QuickTime Pro and work on the preferences for audio traks, than I save with mov extension.Had assumed we were both using similar strategies to create alternate audio movies here. Basically I create the movie with two audio tracks and then open the "Properties" window, select the first audio track (which is already set for English), set the alternate audio track pop-up for Audio Track 2, select the second audio track, set the language pop-up to Italian for this one, and use the Save As... menu option to create a Fast Sart, Standalone movie in the MOV container.
In this way I have a perfect double-language movie that, as I told, works perfectly on QuickTime and iTunes.Did have one question though. When you say you have a "perfect double-language movie that ... works perfect on QuickTime and iTunes," are you saying you can change the language in iTunes while the movie is playing? While I have no problem changing language using the "Choose language" menu command in the QT player, I have yet to be able to find a way to do this while playing in iTunes.
UPDATE: to temporally solve the problem I have changed the infos on movie properties. Calling the English audio track "Holland" (or any other language that is listed after Italian) I have solved the problem. On Tv, iTunes and Quicktime I can hear the "default" language (italian) and, just changing again the properties, I cand hear the second language.I think we are doing the same thing only I did not bother/have to use and additial language setting to get this to work.
In this case Audio Track 2 (Italian) is the default.
In this case Audio Track 1 (English) is the default.
Thus, for my test, I created two separate movies with each defaulted differently and played them back in each program/device to see which audio track played. In each case it was the "checked" default audio track and changing the "Language" setting for TV to Italian had no effect.

Separate Audio Tracks

I'm using logic with little knowledge of the program.
I have 1 audio track with samples, then i needed more audio tracks for more samples and vocals, however it seems that every individual audio track plays all the other audio tracks thru it at the same time.
I soloed the vocals to work on them but the samples are playing thru that track too? Why does one audio track play all audio tracks?

But what does universal track mode do exactly?
No one really knows. But it must be enabled
Well, of course someone knows. It switches the mixer's behaviour in handling stereo tracks. UTM only uses interleaved stereo files, while split stereo files are better treated without UTM. You can google it to follow some of the ongoing discussions.
However, the disabling of UTM can cause some problems, like you just experienced.
Also, if you don't mind another question, when should i use stereo tracks and when should i use mono tracks?
You should use stereo tracks for instruments (real or software) that produce a stereo sound.
You should use mono tracks for monophonic instruments like single voices. However you can switch a mono track to stereo by using the gain plugin (mono->stereo) and/or processing the voice through a stereo effect like the stereo delay.
Panning of stereo and mono tracks is different, also. While you can pan a mono track, you cannot pan a stereo track. What panning does with a stereo track is to move the balance between left and right channel. This you should be aware of when mixing. UTM (or disabling it) is used to solve this problem, too.
