Logic 8 won't play back audio recorded at 48 kHz

So I was recording a small project in Logic 8 on Snow Leopard (10.6.8) the other day when I noticed that audio recorded at 48 kHz wasn't playing back at all. The wave form appeared in the audio region after recording, but the meters on OUT 1-2 weren't lighting up at all. When I switched the project mode to 44.1 kHz, the audio played back fine (except it sounded pitched down and slow). I was in a hurry so I just recorded the whole project at 44.1 kHz instead, even though it should have been 48 kHz.
Any ideas on what could be causing this?

A lot of people have reported this, and it happens to me pretty frequently. Gotta be a known bug, but of course since Apple is always mum about this stuff with absolutely no communication to its customers, we won't know until the next version of Logic is released.

  • Audio won't play back after recording.

    After recording with my BEHRINGER 1204FX though USB, I can see the audio in its track but it won't play the audio until I unplug my 1204 FX and set my input as built in or something else.
    Why can't I listen to my recordings whithout doing this?

    You need to create an aggregate device.

  • QT won't play back audio with MPEG2 files

    I've upgraded to Pro and have added the MPEG2 plugin. QT plays the video fine, but I don't get audio. Have checked the files with another application (VLC) and the files play fine. I've using files from a new Sony hard disk digital camera. Anyone have an idea as to what the problem may be?
    Thanks,
    --Mike

    I've upgraded to Pro and have added the MPEG2 plugin. QT plays the video fine, but I don't get audio.
    Since you did not specify your particular "playback" work flow here, it is difficult to determine your specific problem. (I.e., did you drag and drop the file to an application that would automatically attempt a "transcoding" of the material which the MPEG-2 component cannot handle.) Then too, the Sony MPEG VX format in itself is proprietary and the technical specifications do not appear to have been pubished for general public consumption. (I.e., we don't know the specifics of the format. For instance, is it an AC3 audio format, was it VRB encoded, etc.) See MPEG-2 FAQs
    However, since you already have the MPEG-2 component installed, have you tried playback/conversion in an application like MPEG Streamclip? It may allow you to convert the file to DV for editing or directly to other QT/iPod compatible formats with audio if no editing is required/desired.

  • Logic Pro 8 mutes newly recorded tracks and won't play back until reload...

    Seems like this has happened within the last couple of months. When I record audio in Logic and try to play it back, it won't play the audio. The arrange window shows it is there and the regions do NOT show that they are muted (nor does the channel strip). In essence, it acts as if it is muted, but there are no signs that it is. (I even select the regions and mute then unmute them, and mute and unmute the channel strip, but nothing changes. Still no audio.)
    So I have to close the project and reopen it. When I reopen it, every region in the previous recording session (audio) is greyed out (muted) in the arrange window. Once I select them and unmute them, they play back perfectly.
    This is a very weird situation. Anybody have any ideas about what the issue is?
    Thank you!

  • MIDI regions won't play back in Logic X

    Suddenly my MIDI regions won't play back. I can hear the notes when when I play on my MIDI controller and when I mark the MIDI notes in the piano roll, but not when play it back in the arrange window. This worked fine the last time I opened the project.
    - I have done a restart of all my equipment, computer and Logic.
    - Nothing is muted - not the track or the regions.
    - The MIDI in/out in the piano roll is ON.
    - The channel strip setting is set to ON.
    - This applies to all instruments.
    - It works as usual for MIDI written using the pen tool, but not for MIDI played on the keyboard.
    - MIDI channel are set to 1 (as seen in the event window).
    - Instrument channel is set to "all".

    Does anyone know what could be wrong? Any help is appreciated.

    See if this is the problem.
    Is this an imported Logic 9 project file?
    Check the track Inspector settings and see if you have any over the top values for some of the settings (like Delay)

  • 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!

  • Weird timing issues when playing back a recorded sound file and with synths

    Hello there,
    I'm having a couple of strange issues with playing back files that I have recorded using MIDI data which is then used to play an external synth which then gets recorded to an audio track which at the time is perfectly synced to a click track.
    The problem is (and I really dont get why this is happening) when it comes to playing back the recorded audio file that sometimes it is either behind or ahead of the beat.
    This makes absolutely no sense because sometimes it IS in time with the beat and other times when I play through my piece it is obviously out! I haven't moved the audio file in the arrange window and it is a permanent .aiff file that is stored on my hard-drive...what on Earth is going on?
    On a side note, the same problem happens with any of Logic's synths when I use an LFO that is supposed to be synced to the beat. Sometimes when I play back the MIDI data it is perfectly synced and in time and other times it is horribly out. It really is just pot luck!
    Anyone got any ideas?

    Thank you supermacmom!
    I have the LifeProof case for the iPhone5, and I remember the instructions saying that any protective screen cover should be removed before enclosing the phone into the case, but I left mine on with no ill effects.
    But I should have taken off the back protective film, which was covering the video mic!

  • Video clips won't play back after capture

    I am a long-time user of Premiere Elements, currently using version 9.0. I am capturing video clips from the same videocamera that I've used in previous versions of PE. My video clips won't play back after I capture them. The clip is in my "media" area, but when I try to play it back, the audio plays but the picture remains frozen on the starting image. What is happening?

    It is a Sony Handycam DCR-HC28, mini DV, using a firewire connection.
    Operating System is Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 3, system specs are SATA 2 RAID 1 with dual 1 TB hard drives. 4 GB RAM. As far as how fast my processor is, I looked on my invoice and it says, "Intel Core2 processor Q6600 (2.4 Ghz, 1066 FSB) with Quad Core technology and 8 MB cache, 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM at 800 MHz.
    I defragmented my hard drive before beginning and have 779 GB or 83 percent free space on hard drive.
    I have not placed my video clips on the timeline yet so don't know if there is a red line on top, indicating it hasn't been rendered. I merely wanted to play back my clip to set "in" and "out" points. This has never happened before in my long history of using Premiere Elements. Would prefer not to have to go back to PE 8, as that was a disaster.

    Yes there is.
    Go to the iTunes Store on your computer.  Click the "Purchased" link about halfway down on the far right side.  Click the "All" tab on top.  The song is there.  Re-download it.

  • HDV4 in a .mov file won't play back using any software

    Issue:
    I had 4 DVDs sent to me containing a bunch of .mov files that won't play back in any of the following apps:
    QuickTime 7 Pro (includes Mpeg2 codec from Apple's Web site) - sends me to Apple.com's QT plugins page
    Mpeg Streamclip - loads only some on batch import, but mostly displays white and plays the audio
    HandBrake - Says not a valid source
    VLC Player - error says that HDV4 files cannot be played
    QuickTime Player - says format isn't a format that QT recognizes
    I need to get this into a format usable by FCE.  I'm running the most up-to-date 10.6 Snow Leopard, and the last version of FCE.  How can I do this without losing my current version of iTunes or Final Cut Express?
    Vent:
    As videographers gradually move to hard-drive based cameras, their ability to submit their footage becomes more and more difficult.  As a result, we get DVDs, flash drives, 64 GB memory sticks, and more.  It seems like each one uses a different file format, and every format is proprietary.  Where is a standards committee when you need one?  Where is the open-source format?

  • PPro CS4 won't play back

    Suddenly video in Premiere Pro CS 4.0.0 for Mac won't play back from source window, program window, or timeline, except for an occasional playback of < 1 second. Scarily this was described by a bunch of users in a thread started two years ago. Only one solution was offered there, which didn't apply to my Mac.
    I was involved in another thread on a related subject in this forum once before but that setup seemed connected to the use of a Dazzle Bridge for capturing. There's no such complication now...it's just not playing any video more than a few frames.
    An editor who can't playback any video is in trouble, and after paying as much as I did for this program and a Mac Pro, it is disheartening. Any ideas out there?

    I appreciate everyone's help but I'm afraid the situation has gone from bad to worse, since Premiere suddenly disappeared.
    Yesterday, following one bit of forum advice, I tried using a separate user account labeled Premiere Pro and the program did play the files--though it wouldn't let me save the project file where it resided. Now, however, the program is nowhere to be found. I have the original installation disk but I have heard of problems arising from reinstallations.
    To answer some other questions, I did try to download the latest update for PPro CS4. I am using PPro for Mac on a Mac Pro with a 10.5.8 OS. I can't say for certain exactly which version I "have" of PPro CS 4 since the update because the program has disappeared and is not turning up in the Finder anywhere, nor can I recall the exact wording of the error message saying I couldn't save my project as edited under the alternate user. The program and system worked fairly problem free for almost four years before the last few days. I use a variety of source footage, including .avi, .mov, .flv, .mp3, .wav.
    One Snow Leopard user has recommended using a Root User account which doesn't seem to apply here. For example, he referred to a "Network Account  User" option that was supposed to appear in Accounts/Login Options but doesn't on my Leopard. Also, as per another user at Trafford College, I revised permissions to select Everyone...however since the program isn't appearing on my computer, there's no telling if that worked.
    Community help is greatly appreciated--especially in light of one forum report of someone who was on the phone with Adobe for hours with this kind of problem but without getting it solved.
