Logic 9 busting into white noise while recording!!

Well the title says almost all of it! I've been using Logic 8 happily for ...since it came out.....and I used Logic 9 successfully yesterday when just doing vocals over a backing track but today I tried my first full band recording in Logic 9 and at random places while in record, the audio just totally turns into deafening white noise! The Hard drive meter is showing massive peaks and logic shows a "too slow" error. The songs has a few virtual amplifiers in it (amplitube) but nothing lethal and I've loaded the exact same song (saved from logic 9) into logic 8 and it's working flawlessly so for now at least I'm reverting to using Logic 8 :-(((
Oh well, I guess Logic 9 will be awesome when it's finished :-)) Any suggestions of things I can try or will this be a 9.01 situation?
Many Thanks for any help,
Gareth

Hi Ya,
Combo update , yes
ProKit 5, yes,
Restart, yes,
Repair permissions, I'll try that
and as for using it professionally...that's the only way I do use it!!
Someone has to find the bugs for Apple to fix them.
As for contacting our host, not exactly. I've been a happy logic user (and basically still am I should add) since Notator days but now that the tech support phone numbers have been long since discarded (Sound technology in the UK, bless them) I have no idea how to report a bug or a problem to Apple. I can get someone in Ireland to tell me where to take a broken mac back to, but support for pro software, I have no idea who to get hold of.Does anyone here know of a Tech support contact email?

Audio files turned into white noise

I just opened a couple of session I kept on my firewire audio drive and for some reason some of the audio files have been turned into white noise and obviously rendered unusable. Has this ever happened to anyone? If so can you do anything to sort it out?
Some of those where really important so I would really appreciate if someone had a solution.
Thanks
Luc

Creepy!!!

Crackling noise while record

I just got a new X-Fi sound card and when I try to record with it I get a crackling noise while recording BUT plays great, when its recording I get the nose and as soon I stop the recording the crackling noise stops, I did have a sound blaster li've 5. and I never had this prob with it's? dose anyone have a clue to what would cause this?
Now I did just do a major computer up grade:
AMD 64 3500 2.2 Ghz
ATI 52MB video
Gig of ram
300 Gig HD
ECS K8T890-A Mother board
Soundblaster X-FI Xtreme

I just found out, that the crackles only occur when I record something using the windows audio driver while/after an application is/was opened that uses the ASIO driver. The crackles do not occur if I record something inside the ASIO application.
I hope you understand what I mean.

Digital Noise While Recording

Hello - Any suggestions on how to solve the digital crackle/noise I'm getting while recording (single instruments and multi) into Garage Band 2? I'm using the Presonus Firepod on my Powerbook and recording onto a LaCie Firewire drive (should be fast enough), and it only seems to be happening on the mic channels, not on the line input channels. I can't seem to find any settings that would allow me to make a bigger buffer or something... looked around Audio-Midi Setup too...
All gear being used is high quality, i.e. it's unlikely to be the mics or cables (as far as I can tell).
Please help, thanks!

Figured it out! It turned out to be something to do with monitoring and where the input/cue knob on the firepod was set. Back in business...
Thanks!

Logic Pro 9 Random White Noise

Hi everyone,
So I just bought Logic Pro 9.1.8, and after opening up a Logic project that I got from a friend, whenever I hit play, there is random white noise. So the song will play for a few seconds, and all of a sudden there will be white noise in the left or right (sometimes both) ears for a second or so. No it's not the recording, it seem to be the software, I've tried pausing the song right as the white noise comes on and even though all the music stops, the white noise lingers on then faides out for a second or two. I was editing this project on my friends computer before and it was working fine, and now it's not working on my computer. It's also not the project, I've opened up multiple projects and it still does it. Any help would be AWESOME because I really need to finish this song.
Just incase it's needed:
Macbook Pro Mid 2012 13 Inch
Mac OSX 10.8.3
2.9 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM

Nevermind! I have found the problem. If anyone else if having one, check if you have any demos of plugins! Sometimes they input random whitenoise or silence points to remind the user that they have not bought the full product.

Computer noise while recording

Hello,
I was wondering if there was a simple way to reduce the noise that's generated by the computer's fan while recording with the internal mic.

I guess maybe another question would be then what is making the noise? Is it the fan? or the hard drive? I know that I 've recorded before with no real hassels due to internal computer sounds. So what are some things that I can do so that my computer doesn't make these sounds while recording with the internal mic?
I appreciate the advice concerning aquiring an USB mic however I am primarily using the internal mic in situations where I don't want to have to "set up" a mic. Call it laziness, or just the fact that I don't want to have to carry around extra gear that I don't necessarily should have to carry around considering there is a mic attached to this here machine. Simply put, I'm not recording major projects with this mic. It's more so for spur of the moment ideas or jams. And so it's simply an issue of aesthtics for when I playback recordings that have been tainted with a constant sound of computer whirl. I'm siting here listening and am thinking "man this isn't such a bad sounding recording, except for that frackin' computer buzz. Dammit!" You know how it is.

White noise when recording in Garageband

Lately i have not been able to record songs on Garageband 6.0.5 on my MacBookPro from 2010 (with 2.4 GHz Inte Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB of RAM memory) due to white noise that is added to my input. It´s a scraping sound that has not been there before, it´s almost as if the CPU or RAM memory is falling short, but i don´t know if that is the case. I have tried to record with only a few tracks and no other program running at the same time. But i always get that noise. I record with Line 6 UX2 and a SM57.
Any ideas?

I have response from IK Multimedia (I have open case with IK):
HI, Thank you for you're email we will be happy to help you with this.
Maverick support is not official yet, so use it at your own risk for now.
We will have updates for any issues with the current line of products. Older plugins will not be updated.
There is an issue with Garageband as they updated a lot of code that effects certain plugins.
It will not work until we update amplitube and I dont have a time frame for this.

If I understand (I'm not english) ...IK Multimedia don't have time prevision for resolve this problem.
Apple don't response on my case...result= I'm not able to play guitar ...

Media Encoder turns audio into white noise!

I'm running CS5.5 on an intel Mac 10.6.5, and i have been having problems encoding to flv.
All my videos are edited the same way, and using the same formats etc, yet recently I have found that when converting to .flv, some will work fine, and others will have the audio replaced by white noise.
I cannot figure out what the problem could be. I have also tried using the CS5 version and that is having the same issues.
Checking through the video specs, it appears that the one difference is that the ones which worked fine are all Apple ProRes 422 HQ files, and the ones which failed are Apple 10bit Uncompressed. The strange thing is the audio is the same for both. Yet when the encode problem happens, the video for both is fine, its just the audio where the problem appears.
Anyone else seen this problem? or better still have a solution?
adam

I've answered it myself.
The problem relates to using Uncompressed 10bit movie files...seems the CS5 versions have a problem handling the audio on these. The solution for me was to run the files through Compressor first and change them to Apple ProRes422, before running them through AME.
works every time now!
now if only i could find the bug report form....

Media Encoder CS5.5 Audio being converted into white noise

I have recently started getting an intermittent problem where some video files are being encoded to FLV with the picture looking fine, but the sound coming out as white noise.
The file used for the encoding looks and sound fine in every other app i have. I have been using the same preset within ME to create all the files for our website, for years!.It should be stereo 96kbps MPEG 3 but all i get is static.
The source videos are all edited , mixed and output the same way too.
The files being sent to Encoder are on Mac 10.6.5, and were created in Final Cut Pro using the Prores422 codec, with audio as Linear PCM 16bit/48khz
I have just rebooted the mac, installed the latest CS5.5 upgrades, repaired permissions, but still the problem persists.
Can anyone suggest a solution?

seems i did answer this myself last year!
i need to re-ecode the source material in a format other than 10bit uncompressed for Encoder to be happy with it. I thought the file was already Prores - must be an older file thats causing the trouble.

Dynadock - USB Audio kaput busted broken (white noise)

not sure what has caused this, but I use a Dynadock and up until Monday the USB audio was fine, then it started making crackling white noise. I thought was temporary as was off to work but on return today is doing the same. A bit of google leads me to think this is not uncommon.
I have reinstalled Dynadock software (latest version from Toshiba site)
I have reinstalled Conexant sound drivers (latest version from Toshiba site - though don't think this is latest according to Vista update - did I mention Vista? ;) and working fine
After much searching as it does not seem to be available from the Toshiba site I found a C Media 106 Driver (which is what it was before) and installed that, and the white noise is still there.
I assume this is a Vista / Driver issue?
Which also assumes means there is no way round it without either system restore back to a previous point and hope it goes away, then select each update
or wait for a new driver but with no idea who owns it or when that might be?
Is there any alternative? I use the docking station almost permanently so this is a real pain in the rear.
Not a happy bunny! Can anyone help please? Is anyone having the same problem?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Tim
Your posting is pretty confusing and I can not understand what you have done and wrote about all those sound drivers. In my opinion you should make clean Dynadock installation and configuration.
Disconnect the Dynadock from the system and remove all preinstalled stuff. Download Vista Dynadock Utility 2.3c properly. Follow the menu on the screen and please do not interrupt Utility installation.
Dynadock Utility will install all stuff you need and I hope you will be able to use this nice external device again. Of course I hope the sound will be OK again.

Logic Pro X cut my track into multiple takes while recording. How do I merge them into one, steady track and how do I prevent this from happening again?

I'm going to throw my computer.

Seriously..... Try reading the User Guide....

Almost the info you need is there... and it took me all of a few seconds to find the answers by using the search feature...
1) Flatten or Merge Takes to create one take.

How to deal with bass hum/noise while recording

I recently got a bass guitar (fender p-bass) and its a little noisy. There is an electronic hum/buzz when my fingers are not touching the strings. I had my guitar tech look at it and he said the noise is normal. However, I plan on using this bass to record direct and when I plug into Logic this buzz/hum is audible. If I turn the tone knob on the bass down completely, the noise goes away. But when I start to turn the tone knob up at all the noise get louder.
My question is if this is a common problem with instruments (bass, guitar, etc) and is it normal to use a plug-in to eradicate this noise (like a noise gate, or something else)? Also, does anyone else have any ideas on how to work with this buzz/hum? Thanks.

Hi JackQ,
I had some experience a few years back with one of these basses,same model.Basically,the hum you are hearing is a grounding problem.Your tech does not know how to fix it,that's why he said it's "normal".It's not normal.
You cannot get rid of that noise unless you do two things.One:get a reputable tech that is an expert on electric instruments,and ask him to solve the ground hum problem.It is not expensive to do so.
Second,you can do a "home repair" kind of fix,like this:Take a RadioShack alligator clip wire (the ones that look like little alligator mouths,that clamp onto anything)and hook up one end to the bridge of your bass,and hook up the other end to your body,preferably where you have a high pain threshold.This second option,will work,but I only recommend it when you are going to record,otherwise if you leave the alligator clamp on you for a long time,it will leave a permanent mark(just kidding).This also is the cheapest and most efficient way of dealing with the hum problem.Plugins like a gate or other are not going to make it go away,and you'll spend wayyyyyy tooooo much time trying to get it(the plugin) to work.
Cheers,

Beeping noises while recording with guitar. Help, please.

I am trying to record with my guitar in Garageband. There is a constant beeping noise in the backround. I have changed the input to the usb port that is hooked up to the guitar. I have read many forums about this problem, but nothing has helped. I really could use help. Thank you.

Did you ever figure this out? I am getting the same beeps and am at a loss of what to do.
Thanks

How to reduce background noise while recording in iphone?

I am actually recording voice in iphone. How can i ignore the background noises other than the person who is speaking...
Can anyone suggest me any idea pls ?

There is no filter in FCE that can eliminate background noise separately from the sound you want to preserve.
SoundSoap can do this.

Tecra A9 - Background noises while recording a sound file

Does anybody knows how to get a clear sound recording on a Toshiba Tecra A9? All my voice recordings are of a low quality.
Compare the sound recording of my Tecra:
http://nursing.de/SoundRecording_ToshibaTecraA9.wav
with a sound recording which I made on other notebook:
http://nursing.de/SoundRecording_Sony_Vaio.wav
I need a clear sound for my speech recognition software.
Looking forward for your help
Peter

Hello Andrej
Sorry that I have forgotten to mention the conditions my tests.
I did the sound recording on both computers with the same external microphone (a logitech headset) and in the same room.
I thought that the internal micro would be disabled in the moment an external micro is being used - unless I'm mistaken.
Regards
Peter
