Logic freezes when trying to record audio file

I am using my Guitar RIg "Rig Kontrol" as an interface. I create a new audio track without opening with guitar rig. I prefer to add that on after to preserve processing power.
The second I hit record, Logic freezes. Any ideas?

Not sure what 'the numbers 1,2,and 3 next to my first three tracks flash with a box' means but it could be something to do with the solution if its the Mute or Solo buttons flashing.
If you go into the Mixer you might find a track that's been soloed or muted that isn't on the arrange page. That's all I can think of from what you've said.

  • Logic freezes when trying to record 8th instrument.

    Today is the LAST day I have to exchange my new iMac for a better one, and of course today is the first day I've had this problem.
    The first section of my project has 7 tracks playing together, and they do so just fine without any problems.
    When I moved onto the second section, I only needed to record one track with no other tracks playing at the same time. Regardless, the instant I hit the first note, Logic locked up and only played a scratchy electric sound non-stop, while the numbers 1,2,and 3 next to my first three tracks flash with a box.
    I tried freezing all of the other tracks, so it only focuses on the one I am recording, but it didn't work. I tried changing instruments and that didn't work either. I checked my CPU and it never went above 40%.
    Will upgrading to the next highest iMac make a difference? The processor speed is the same, the only difference is there is 4gb ram instead of 2. I will try calling Apple, but I just thought I'd post in the meantime. Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

  • Freezes when I hit record (audio)

    When I have audio already on a track and hit record midway, it freezes. Strangely, I can start a new empty track and record audio from there, but if I try to cut in on a track midway with audio on it, it freezes. Using Logic 10.1.0, Mac OS 10.9.4 6 GB memory, plenty of room on disk, formatted Mac OS Extended. Using a Scarlett 18i8 interface, but it does the same thing when using Core Audio on the Mac. And no crash report will surface when I force quit. Have tried permissions repair to no avail. And tried removing all unused audio tracks from the Project Audio list, does not help.
    Anyone?

    Actually, there were not steps suggested (at least that I saw) for garageband freezing when I hit record. I read through all the links (and almost went blind) and and did a search on the site, maybe I missed it.
    If you have an answer to this probelem I would love to try any suggestions.
    Thanks

  • Error message when trying to export audio file to DVD

    I recorded an interview on a portable voice recorder and transferred the data into Garage Band by connection of a cable connected to the headphone of the device to the speaker input in the Mac. Garage Band took the audio file. It is 1.5 GB. I did some minor editing and wanted to save the file onto a DVD. When I selected "share" to export song to the DVD, an error message came up stating that the file was over 2 GB, which it wasn't. The file was then broken in two and one part was "shared", but the same error message came up. I took the computer to the Apple store for the Genus to help me with, but he had the same problem. The only way that he was able to save the audio file to a DVD was to select the file and place the file on a blank DVD. However, it can only be listened on a computer with Garage Band. I intend to use my voice recorder again to interview people. How can I input the audio file in the Mac and have it saved on a DVD to be played on multiple devices?

  • Freezes when I start recording audio

    I have 20 iMacs in my lab here at school. When I log in as the user, everything works fine. I can record audio directly into Garageband and iMovie with no problems. When other users use the same computers, they cannot. When they click on the red button to record in either application, the program freezes, and they get the spinning disk until it is force quit. It happens over and over.
    The account I am using is not an administrative account. In fact, when I try the same thing using the admin account, it freezes when I try to record!
    Any suggestions? This just started happening a month or so ago. Before that, it was fine for everyone. I suspect that it might be related to some updates, but I don't know for sure.
    The same thing happens whether people use attached mics or the internal mic, by the way. Every other aspect of the programs is fine. It's just recording that's a problem.
    This is wreaking havoc with podcasting and moviemaking.

    I found a cludgey fix to my problem, but at least I can record
    Set Logic's temp record path to write to the local drive. It only hangs when I set my temp record disk to be my external USB 2.0 drive.
    Glad to hear you're back recording, even through kludgey work-arounding!
    Also, you may have indicated the underlying cause of the problem. The fact that it goes away when recording to your internal drive suggests the USB drive as the culprit.
    Everyone I know who uses Logic records to firewire drives. Firewire handles time-sensitive data like audio better than USB, and so while USB might work OK under certain circumstances, it may be the cause of your grief. Perhaps if you were recording to an external firewire drive rather than USB, there wouldn't be a problem.

  • Error message when trying to move audio file from iTunes to iPhone 4s

    I have an audio file I'm trying to put on my iPhone 4s. I can open it with iTunes, but when I try to move it to my iPhone, I just get a message that it can't be moved "because it can't be played on this iPhone." My itunes and iphone are both up to date. I have iCloud activated but nothing has moved to my iPhone either

    Developing for iphone can be amazingly complicated and frustrating.  (even before you start coding).  The process of having to create a Certificate, to approving the Certificate, to Assigning the deviceIDs to the certificate, to creating the AppIDs, to creating the provisioning profiles and then creating the .p12 file... is just too tedious. 
    I solved the problem of the "Entitlements are not valid".   The AppID i had set in the iPhone Developer Portal did not match that of the AppID i had set in the Adobe Flash CS5 -> Publish Settings.  (ie. com.yourdomainname.yourappname).  After I re-entered my AppID and compile, i was able to sync the .ipa file into my ipad. 
    I wish the error message had been a little more descriptive.  Could have saved me a whole day.
    I hope this helps others.  But my guess is, if you don't set the 40 character device ID correctly, or the email in the signingcertificate correctly, you'll get this same generic error message.

  • PowerPoint 2010 Hangs when trying to insert audio file

    I am trying to insert audio into a PowerPoint slide program.  I have done this quite often with previous versions of PowerPoint on a Dell computer, so I don't think it is user error - although I am open to the possibility - anything to get this fixed!
    Details:
    Lenovo T520 4239CTO, Bios: 8AET52WW, Win 7 Prof 64-bit, Microsoft Office Prof 2010, PowerPoint 2010 32-bit version 14.0.6112.5000.
    When I try to insert an audio file (MP3) I see a progress bar at the bottom (PowerPoint is inserting media) but it never progresses, and I also see a pop-up frame with this msg: "Inserting media. To cancel press the ESC key."  The system hangs - I must use the Control-alt-delete to get the task manager in order to stop the application. 
    I have tried turing off all Norton Internet Security - no difference.
    All recommended and most optional updates have been done from Lenovo and Microsoft, using their update service.
    I suspect that even though I can't find out what is causing the hang, that it might be related to security software.  The music files were downloaded from Amazon, they are MP3 format, and should theoretically be okay in a PowerPoint slide show.
    I would be most grateful for any help resolving this issue, since PowerPoint is basically useless to me unless I can insert various media files. 
    Solved!

  • Adobe Media Encoder CS4 freezes when trying to convert .m4v files to .mp4 files

    I'm trying to convert some things I got on itunes in order to put them on my android phone. Media encoder freezes before I even start encoding though, any ideas? My OS is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, if you need any more info I'd be happy to provide it.

    I meant the File->Save option should not be gray if you "make a change" anywhere in the document. I only have access to an OSX Server remotely to illustrate this point so SimpleText should help you understand what I mean by a grayed out menu item:
    The big red arrow.
    You can get to the Save As dialog so clearly grayed out menu items wasn't the issue. Moving on..
    Your screenshot buttons may be unresponsive but they also aren't "grayed out". Here's a Save dialog with a truely grayed out button:
    Your button is not grayed out.
    Accurately describing your issue here will help quite a bit. The "save crash" issue has been so rampant it's the first suggestion I had so I offered it. Often repairing the FLA fixed the saving mechanism.
    In your case I honestly haven't come across your issue so I have no more suggestions outside reinstall Flash completely.  Good luck.

  • Pages app freezes when trying to open .doc file

    Hello everyone!
    Recently I faced the problem with opening .doc files originally created in Word for Windows in Pages. If the .doc file contains any table, Pages app constantly freezes trying to open it so I have to Force quit it. It happened with few documents containing tables. If the .doc file contains no tables everything works OK.
    I've tried to open files created in Word 2003 and 2007 for Windows. My iWork's version is 4.0.3 (766).
    Can anyone help me please?

    Hi Old-cockatoo
    Welcome to the forum.
    Try altering the format/ing of the original file and see what may be the cause. e.g. Try saving to .rtf.
    Check if there are unsupported features in the Word tables, such as rotated text in cells or a rotated page. Essentially look for variances that could trigger the problem.
    Also look for alternatives to Pages:
    http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewtopic.php?t=47&mforum=iworktipsn trick
    Pages is not a full substitute for MsWord despite what Apple suggests, implies, hints, intimates, signals, presupposes, infers, signals, says indirectly, gives you to understand… but doesn't actually say if you read the fine print.

  • Xperia Z1 4.3 Appcrash when trying to record audio note

    Hi Folks,
    Xperia Z1, Android 4.3, 14.2.A.1.142, OneNote and Facebook App crash when i try to record an audio note.
    In OneNote recording starts, but when stopping, the app doesn't respond any more and crashes. Xperia Z1 has to be rebooted to use the microphone in any other app, otherwise i get a 'microphone not available' message.
    Same happens with facebook audio notes.
    4.2 worked flawlessly here. Repairinstall didn't help, problem stays.
    Seems to be a bug in 4.3 on Z1? Any workarounds?
    TIA;

    OneNote = Microsoft. So it doesn't work, what's new
    Remove it from your Android device, and use for example Tape A Talk for audio recording.(up to 44.1KHz 16bit wav recording, yes CD quality)
    well, um, that doesn't really solve the problem with facebook does it?
    I use onenote not only because of the audio feature, and it worked pretty good on the Z1 with Android 4.2, sync with web and desktop app.
    On Tablet Z with 4.3 and Xperia T with 4.3 both apps work without any problems. On Z1 with 4.2 they worked without problems. on 4.3, they don't.

  • Logic crashes when trying to load exs24 factory sample

    I reinstalled OS X and Logic Pro (everything else except demo content DVD). Now Logic Pro crashes (freezes) when I'm trying to load an exs24 factory sample. Also, now I can't open my old projects that use those exs24 factory samples, Logic freezes when trying to load the project.
    I can't proceed with my work until this problem is fixed. Please help!
    I have installed the exact same Logic DVDs once before on this same laptop and the exs24 factory samples worked without any problems.
    My Specs: Macbook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, OS X 10.6.8, Logic 9.1.8
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    not sure if it helps or not, but just a small correction on this: My exs24 GarageBand samples work fine.
    And I guess the proper term what happens with factory samples is a hang crash..

  • Firefox freezes when trying to upload or download a file. (Antivirus all disabled doesn't help). IE works fine. Happened with v3 and v4. Any clues?

    Firefox locks when trying to upload or download any file, size irrelevant.
    I've disabled firewall and all antivirus apps to no effect.
    This happens with v3 and v4.
    IE works fine.

    '''Addendum:''' The freeze is also happening at random even without opening Firefox, it has a chance of happening when I click something. My computer has frozen when I: 1- clicked the "reveal desktop" button to minimize all windows; 2- Attempted to close a tab in Chrome; 3- Clicked "play" in a Youtube video that had been loaded and waiting for some time). It will also almost always freeze when I leave it idle for more than about 10 minutes.
    But it will '''guaranteedly''' freeze when trying to open FF, which doesn't happen with any other program.
    I think my computer is breaking down. :(

    Afraid Compressor won't work with MKV. If you have access to a system running an earlier version than Mavericks, and with Perian installed you can use MPEG Streamclip or Quick Time Pro to convert to a mov.

  • Logic 8 can't find my audio files

    I recently upgraded to Logic 8 from Logic 7. When I did this, I almost completely maxed out the memory on my MacBook Pro. To make enough room for the upgrade, I moved many of my old files to an external hard drive.
    When I try to open old Logic files, both those on my MacBook Pro and those from the external hard drive, Logic gives me a message that it cannot find the "_____" audio file, and prompts me to skip it or search for it manually. I'm something of a Logic novice, so I'm hoping that someone can tell me where Logic typically "stores" the audio files. Doing a search by date (trying to find the files by comparing the date of the Logic project and assuming that the audio files would be the same) turned up nothing. However, I didn't delete anything that I didn't move to the external drive. Those audio files have to be somewhere.
    Can anyone tell me the file saving protocol for the audio files? I'm sure that I can find them if I can figure out where to look.
    Thanks a bunch for your help (you Logic Rock Stars!)

    When you originally recorded the songs, had you saved them as a Project? Because if you had, an audio folder for the song would have been created within the songs main folder, and that's where the audio files that are missing will be.
    Because you simply dragged the Logic files over to the external drive, and then tried to open the songs, the original audio pathway is still intact, and the Logic file is looking for the audio in it's original location, which, of course, it is not now.
    When you get the first message "Cannot find lead vocal 1 (or whatever it is), choose "manually", and navigate to the audio file folder of that song. Once you locate that first missing audio file, Logic will look there for the rest of the missing files, and finish loading the song correctly on it's own.
    So... let me ask you... are the Logic song files themselves found with a song folder of the same name? If they are, you should also see a folder within that song folder, labeled "audio files". If that's the case, the audio for that song is stored within that audio files folder.
    If you hadn't gotten into the habit of saving songs as projects from back in Logic 7, then this could be a very long, and tedious process, of locating those files.

Maybe you are looking for
