Itunes 12 showing no audio channels

I like iTunes 12 but I miss being able to see the audio channels when you click "get info". Anyone know how to get this back so I can see what is mono, stereo and / or 5.1.
Cheers

Does apple read these forums? This is a huge inconvenience for me!
I'm loving Yosemite so far; aside from its many bugs, it is looking to be a decent build of the operating system in due time.
I understand they want the OS to feel more relatable to iOS, but this is still a where a majority of working professionals do their work. There is a rarely a reason to remove something without giving the consumer the option of bringing it back. Save the simple minded operating systems to the iOS devices. I've said since day one, the iPad will replace computers for the average user. Let OS X stay OS X, and lets wait a few more years for everyone else to ditch their laptops and desktops in favor of easy to use tablets.

Does not show 4 audio channels

I was using final cut 4.5 and cutting videos (lots of videos and almost done) and then we realized the audio track is showing as mono and not 4 channels as it is supposed to be. So, yesterday we upgraded to 5.1 and when opening the file, it still does not show as a 4 channel audio but if i import the same video again it shows as having four audio channels.
So my question is, all the work that i have already done on the videos, is there any magic command in Final cut that can make the videos appear as having 4 audio channels since the original video has four channels?
Hope it makes sense
Thanks

When you load a clip in the viewer, do all four tracks appear in the timeline's target buttons? did you before? All four have to be connected to the 4 tracks in the Sequence when you make an edit if you want all four tracks to appear in the timeline...
You could perform a match frame if all four tracks are really in the clips, and then overwrite the same shot to itself with all four tracks connected in the targeting buttons pretty fast or use the replace edit command to maintain any transitions you've added.

Itunes Summary shows negative audio space used

Hello, I am currently using XP Media Center but this problem happens on ANY version of Windows, and I have searched all over and even gone to the local store with no avail.
When I go to the summary page of my ipod, on any windows system (no access to a mac), the capacity bar at the bottom is maxed out (all blue boxes full) and it says
audio: -x,xxx,xxx,xxx gb
free: x,xxx gb
i would include a pictures but these posts dont allow it, for some reason

please close this post, the problem was solved on another post.

I've upgraded to OS 10.8.2 and my Bowers and Wilkins MM-1 Speakers were working fine until today, and now they won't play any sound at all, even though iTunes shows the audio is playing. I've tried both the headphone jack and the USB port. Please help!

Michael,
Thanks. I haven't mixed down the audio or checked the number of tracks in Prefs. Good points.
As far as a mixdown goes, I'll definitely give it a try, though I wonder whether or not the tracks will be recognized during mix down recording - given that you can't hear either of those segments in playback. Just have to try.
Re the preferred number of allowed tracks - I'll go check as soon as I send this off, but I'm not sure that applies in this case, since the two Channels containing the segments that are pinked out are not in additional tracks. I should have mentioned that other audio clips and segments on the same Channels in the SAME tracks ARE heard in playback. As are two additional track in the 2nd Sequence. It's only when the two sequences are joined that the pink tinted segments can't be heard. Within the sequence the same audio cuts playback as they should. Thanks again &
Best regards,
David

Audio problem with one episode of iTunes tv show on two apple tvs but audio works fine on same show on iMac

I have a season pass to Dr Who and all 30+ other shows purchased on iTunes work great. Last night's episode (Hide) has a hissing sound so loud it drowns out all the audio in the show when i try to watch it on my Apple TV. I then downloaded the episode to my iMac and my iPad and no audio issues there. However when I tried playing it shared from my iMac to the Apple TV and the audio problem was there again. Same thing happened when I tried to AirPlay from my iPad to Apple TV.
I have two Apple TVs. One is latest model w latest upgrade, the other is generation before without latest upgrade. Same audio issue on both. I have tons of iTunes TV shows and movies and this is the only episode with an issue. Something is wrong with this file that causes it to screws up the audio on Apple TV.
Has anyone else seen this kind of audio issue specific to just one TV episode or movie? Anyone know support path for iTunes problems?

If other episodes play Dolby Digital fine this could be a file encoding problem - they sometimes get it wrong.
I suggest you all contact Apple about the problem via itunes store support here:

Hi
A quick look around this forum will show that you are not alone.... some issues with LPX10.0.5 (and possibly OSX 10.9.1) and USB audio devices.

How to show different recorded audio channels in timeline

I've recorded an interview with two microphones (one was really bad, so I only want to use the other recorded microphone). I imported the clip from the tape camera into FCP X. Now in FCP X on the timeline I only see one audio track when I seperate it from the video. The two microphones seems to be 'mixed'. This was different in FCP 7 where you see both audio channels seperated.
How do I manage to seperate the 2 audio channels into 2 channels. I'v troed with Channel Configuration via Audio Inspector but I do not understand it.
Thanks, Pim

Select the clip in the timeline and in the audio tab in the inspector in the channels seection switch to dual mono. You can switch off a track here if you wish.

Yay iTunes 7.0 chopy audio...

yep same as some other people have been getting: choppy audio when running ANY program that uses audio channels at the same time.
e.g.:
MSN Messenger - someone logs in, it makes a noise, audio goes choppy from itunes until the sound stops playing.
Teamspeak Voice Comms - Makes audio go permenantly choppy until teamspeak it shut down
Ventrillo Voice Comms - Same as above
Battlefield 2 - Same as above
EVE Online - Same as above
World of Warcraft - Same as above
Halflife 2 - Same as above
Counter Monkey (Strike) - Same as above
Any game at all - Same as above
Anything software that any gamer in the WORLD uses - Same as above
So, sorry Apple, grats, I used to fight all the apple haters when they mentioned how they disliked itunes and i showed them how good it was - now all I can do is join them.
iTunes = uninstalled.
Well done Apple. Hope you're proud

I have this very same problem. It also happens if there is any media in my web browser.
The sound skips like crazy and I hate it.
I've used iTunes for years and never had any problems until version 7.
I might see if I still have the V6 install application because this bug is a nightmare.
Nice work Apple. What was so wrong with the sound that you had to go and fox with it?
I remember having this kind of problem when mp3's were an emerging technology. It's now 2006, get with it!
You can be sure that if this issue isn't addressed, and soon, I'll be switching music players. It just ***** that I wont have any of the music downloaded from the store.

How do I export from FCP to a QuickTime file with multiple audio channels?

I'm delivering a project where the first step is to generate an HD Cam SR master, which I will be doing at a post-production lab. They will then do a QC check for me. To generate this HD Cam SR master, they need to me to bring in my 98-minute long movie on a firewire hard drive, in five equal parts -- QuickTime files. From these five QT files, the lab will then be creating an HD Cam SR master that will have...
dialogue on tracks 1 and 2
effects on tracks 3 and 4
music on tracks 5 and 6
MY QUESTION
a) I don't see any way to separate these audio tracks accordingly in the FCP menu for QuickTime export. Does anyone have any experience doing this?
b) And does anyone know the most efficient way to combine timeline audio tracks for this purpose? I have my dialogue sitting on the first FOUR audio tracks, actually. To deliver this film, I'll need to crush these four audio tracks to two, as listed above. I could generate an AIFF file, I suppose, import it back onto the timeline, sync it up, and then re-export along with the visuals to make the final QT file, but this seems like a generation loss.
thanks,
Shanked
PS the movie is made up of footage from a Sony PMW EX1. I used the codec "XDCAM 1080 24p 35mbs VBR" for editing in FCP. I'll either export to QT using this same codec or switch to "Apple ProRes" if my machine can somehow maintain the sync.

The following will answer both your questions a) and b).
Click on your master timeline and press cmd+0 (zero) to bring up Sequence Settings, then click on the Audio Outputs tab on the right. Click on the Outputs option and change it to 6. You can leave them as Stereo pairs.
Now, back on your timeline, you need to make sure all your audio is organised so each track. A1, A2, A3, A4 etc has all the relevant media on it.
Then, on the left of the timeline you see the Destination toggle buttons, then you see the Padlocks to lock tracks, then you have the Toggle Auto Select squares. If you right-click on the Toggle Auto Select squares you bring up a little sub-menu, at the top of this list you'll see Audio Outputs, which will show the stereo channels for that particular track. As you've changed the number of Audio Outputs in the Sequence Settings, the list will show: 1&2, 3&4, 5&6. You just tick whichever channels you want.
In your case, you have dialogue on the first 4 tracks, no problem, just go down through tracks 1,2,3 and 4 as described above and assign these to Audio Outputs 1&2.
Then just go down through your music and effects audio tracks and assign them accordingly.
Now, when you export your timeline as a self-contained media file, it will have different audio channels.
I hope that makes sense. When you change the number of audio outputs as described in the first step, I believe the rest of it is fairly self explanatory, once you know where the settings are.

I have bought a new airport express and using it with my macbook (iTunes 10.2.2). I have joined an existing network for internet in my home and with that i am trying to play the music via itunes but there is audio dropouts every 60 secs or so. any soln ?

I have bought a new airport express and using it with my macbook (iTunes 10.2.2). I have joined an existing wireless network for internet in my home and with that i am trying to play the music via itunes but there is audio dropouts every 60 secs or so. I am using a set of speakers from kenwood connected to the airport express. The operating system on my macbook is mac os X 10.5.8. i am sure it is not a problem of streaming music online because i have even tried playing music which are stored in my macbook.
Is there any problem with the setting in itunes or quicktime ? Kindly reply...... I am waiting for your valuable suggestion.
Thank you a lot in advance.

I am shocked to have found this same AX audio dropout problem starting TODAY, every few seconds the audio just drops for a couple seconds and then resumes: Latest software versions of everything. No iPad, iPhone or Touch. Internet hardwired to D-Link DES1105 (1000baseT Switch) hardwired to new 80211N AX, AX optical to stereo, AX Wi-Fi internet to basic 1st-gen MacBook operating at 80211G, and an older 'G' AX extender at the far end of the house, away from all this. The MacBook streaming iTunes is usually 12 feet from AX. I've used this setup for years of trouble-free AirTunes / Airplay until today. Today I also found 2 very reliable fixes and 1 way to force a dropout, but first, I read some posts and tried ALL following settings one-at-a-time and restored them ALL because NONE of them helped: Turned off IPV6. Streamed to multiple speakers 'Computer' and 'AX' (restored to just AX). Turned off 'Ask to Join new (WiFi) Networks'. Turned off Bluetooth (can't live without Magic Trackpad, so glad that wasn't it). Here's my discoveries: Lo and behold, each time I click the Airport icon in the Menu (you know it shows you've got 4 bars from AX) when the status switches to 'Looking for Networks' for a second it CAUSES the AX audio to drop out for a couple seconds (it never did that before today.) iTunes still playing, streaming, AX laser still lit, but the 'PCM' light on stereo and the sound GOES OUT EVERY time I click the Airport icon in the menubar, just like the regular, annoying dropouts. So, to reduce traffic I quit Safari (3 tabs, no streaming, just Gmail, Google, and Netflix browsing). Lo and behold, the dropouts stopped altogether. No other Web apps going (not iTunes Store, Genius, Ping, nothing), so I launched Chrome to the same 3 tabs and the dropouts HAVE NOT RETURNED. That's right, not only did simply QUITTING SAFARI cure it, and Chrome doesn't contribute to it, but I can demonstrate it just by forcing my Airport to re-scan. Works for me, written using Chrome. The other reliable fix is to hardwire MacBook to the Switch. This is obviously not ideal, but Airplay audio doesn't drop out over Ethernet. Also, in all my tests, it made no difference whether iTunes did the streaming, or Airfoil did.

Stereo Audio channel turns to mono when I close and re-open the project

Hi there,
when I import a random video file with stereo audio channels and put it to the timeline (after peaking), everything works allright - the recording level window shows me the left and the right audio channel.
But when I save and close the project in order to re-open it directly, I only got a mono audio channel (left) and the stereo is away in my timeline and recording level window. The preview of the imported video ist still ok with stereo sound.
Is this a bug ? What can do? Please help me.
Thanks a lot

Are you clearing your recent history either manually or when you close Firefox?
Firefox stores App Tabs and tab group details in the same file that stores details of browsing sessions. Make sure that you have not set Firefox to delete browsing history. For details of the setting to check see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Clear+Recent+History

How do I reformat itunes tv shows copied to my external harddrive so I can watch them on my tv through my media streamer (like I do with my other downloaded movies)?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

Swapping audio channels in one movie

Hi,
I ripped the music video of The Streets, "Fit But you Know It" from the DVD of The Football Factory using Handbrake, and it turns out that the stereo channels are reversed: left is right and vice versa. This is a source problem, and not one created by the encode process. What's the simplest way of swapping the audio channels for this movie only?
I'd rather not re-encode the rip in the process, in order to avoid quality degradation. Handbrake GUI, unfortunately, doesn't offer any options for swapping the channels during encode. I tried using QuickTime 7, and was able to re-assign the channels in the Properties window, and then save the file as a self-contained movie. Unfortunately, QuickTime X ignores the change in the new file, even though QuickTime 7 recognizes it.
Suggestions? The resultant file should be natively compatible with QuickTime 7, QuickTime X and iTunes.
S.

I would leave it mono in the timeline and export to stereo.
It wont be real stereo but you will have the same audio on both channels.

Play a QuickTime file with eight separate audio channels

I'm trying to play a QuickTime file with eight separate audio channels but they only play in stereo...... the same QT file will play all 8 channels separately in Qlab, which has separate level controls for each channel, and which "sees" my Digidesign 002 audio interface. But QT does not recognize the interface, nor does Audio MIDI Setup utility, apparently..... it will play all 8 channels mixed to stereo through channels 1 and 2

The following will answer both your questions a) and b).
Click on your master timeline and press cmd+0 (zero) to bring up Sequence Settings, then click on the Audio Outputs tab on the right. Click on the Outputs option and change it to 6. You can leave them as Stereo pairs.

Audio Channel Mapping problems

Hi Everyone,
I can't seem to find a solution to my problem.
I use Audition in two situations.
Firstly, with the internal soundcard (Mac Book Pro) when I'm out and secondly, when I'm at home with my focusrite scarlett.
When I'm out, Audition won't play as it can't find the focusrite.
Question: How do I use Audition in both situations?
My work around is to start up Audition with the shift key when I don't have the focusrite with me.
Any solutions that anyone can suggest?
With Logic, it just shows up a message saying my Focusrite isn't available.
Many thanks!

Thanks, ryclark for your reply!
When I'm not using the Focusrite:
The "Device Class" only shows "CoreAudio."
"Default Output" only shows "Built-in Output."
On the "Audio Channel Mapping" page, it has
"Output":Device: Scarlett 2i2 USB" and
on "File Channels": "1[L] Unknown-Device query failed."
So, it's remembering the Focusrite Scarlett, but then can't find it, so stops.
Weird!
Surely there's a workaround?
Thanks!
