Logic pro 8 sync problem, audio with Qtime movie  ......Help please....

Ok.
I import Qtime movie into logic and extract audio track.
I drop extracted audio track into arrange window at start lined up with movie track.
Play movie to test, its out of sync with audio.
Check settings.on hardware and file info of Qtime movie.....48khz 24bit 25fps.
Only difference is audio from Qtime is 16bit not 24, as I understand the bit rate should not make any difference to the sync.
So I decide to sync visually the audio extract to the Qtime movie to check.
Play it back, roughly in sync.
I go to header of track and discover my audio track know starts 12 frames later
than the Qtime movie to be in sync.?? Why?
I export audo back to Qtime movie.
Play movie in Qtime...and....yep... its out of sync. by I guess 12frames
I use sound track pro for the same project and this does not happen. why?
everything is legal bought and payed for,All running on same computer and same hardware G5ppc and digi 002 rack.:(
Any Help greatly appreciated.
Regards
James

  • Syncing without erasing with a twist help please

    my computer crashed, big time the other day, deleting all my music and itunes. i downloaded itunes again, but don't have the time to go find all the songs i had on my phone and re-download, however it will not let me sync new songs without erasing dating, i have tried just sync checked items, but they do not go on to my phone.
    how do i sync the new songs without having to delete or re-download my old ones (Over 4gb worth of songs.)
    please help

    The iPhone is designed to sync iTunes media content (music, videos, etc.) with one and only one iTunes Library, and the sync is one way by design (from computer to iPhone). Connecting to a reformatted hard drive is like connecting to a 'new' computer and the content will be erased and replaced. You cannot transfer music from the iPhone to the computer with iTunes - the iPhone is not a backup device. If you have a backup of your iTunes library on an external hard drive, restore from that. Else, you may want to google TouchCopy.

  • Logic Pro 9 - Recorded audio just silly with crackling, clicking noise

    PLEASE!!! Read my entire post before commenting. I don't mean to sound rude but I've posted this in several other forums and it's obvious they hadn't read/understood my issue based on the comments they left, ie., suggesting everything I've already tried, saying to contact tech support and even asking what comp and DAW I'm using... I've been dealing with this issue for ~8 months
    SPECS
    I use 2 daisy-chained Firepods connected to a Mac Pro Quad-core running 10.6.5 and Logic Pro 9.1.3.
    I get the results described below whether I'm trying to record at 24 or 16 bit and at either 44.1K or 48K.
    Generally I record 12 tracks simultaneously AND I always use the same inputs for each instrument; ie., Vocals = track 11, guitar = track 2, bass = track 1, etc...*
    PROBLEM
    Although this is a sporadic issue it happens to occur WAY more than it doesn't; ie., very rarely do I get a recording session without the anomaly.
    The issue is that after I have recorded a session and listen back to the recorded material there are random crackles, pops, clicks throughout. When I audition tracks individually, some may have no crackling and some will have crackling at different points in time and of varying intensity. Every session is different as well, no two sessions are the same. One day I may have a perfect vocal track and a guitar track that is just silly with the crackling. The next day the guitar track may be fine but now the vocal track is all messed up with crackling. Another confounding point is that the crackling does not occur during periods of silence.
    I will add that each Firepod appears to function properly (with no issue) all by it's lonesome - but that doesn't help me, I need 12 inputs minimum!
    Things I've Tried
    1. All new FW cables
    2. Disconnecting the FW cable that goes from the Firepod to the Mac. Turn on the Mac. Turn on both Firepods, master first. Connect the FW cable that goes from the Firepod to the Mac. Launch Logic.
    3. Disconnecting the FW cable that goes from the Firepod to the Mac. Turn on the Mac. Launch Logic. Turn on both Firepods, master first. Connect the FW cable that goes from the Firepod to the Mac.
    4. Tried every conceivable configuration of Audio Midi Setup.
    5. Tried several other FW and USB audio interfaces, obtaining perfect results.
    6. Been working with Apple tech support (both hardware and Logic support).
    7. I've checked that both Firepods have the same firmware version.
    8. Installed a fresh SATA HD with clean installs of both OS10.6.5 and Logic Pro 9.1.3 with fresh custom templates and no 3rd party plugins or loops.
    9. Lots of praying, swearing and fits of anger.
    Final Comments
    First, I think that the chassis FW connectors on the firepods are absolute garbage (read, cheap, cheap, cheap) and are inferior to anything else I have encountered during my troubleshooting process.
    Last, I will go ballistic if I hear one more Presonus rep say anything to the effect of, "Huh! Never heard of anyone else experiencing the symptoms you're describing..." Yes, I have spoken adnauseum with Presonus tech support with zero results.
    Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Pancenter! I'll try to be brief. LOL
    I had 4 perfect multi-track sessions and then the gremlin woke up and and cast his spell... Frustrating... The biggest difference I enjoyed using your suggestion was that when I launched Logic, loaded my template, enabled my tracks and hit record, the session started without a hitch. Prior to your suggestion, I would have to futz around with Logic audio prefs, AMS settings, turning the Firepods off/on, quitting/restarting Logic and/or shutting down/restarting my Mac Pro just to get the session to show my enabled tracks had activity. I would not know if the session would have the noise artifacts until playback. I should add that I never had this problem with my PPC G5 nor did I for the first 10 months of use with this Mac Pro. Also, with the help of Apple tech support we had eliminated Logic, 10.6.5 and the Mac Pro (except the FW800 bus) as probable causes. Again each Firepod and Logic work flawlessly when I use one unit not daisy-chained. So, I think there is no problem with the individual units, and, as I said, both units worked fine chained with my PPC Mac Pro.
    So, I called Presonus. Again... And I get yet another tech who tells me something different; every time I speak with Presonus I get different suggestions. This guy asked what kind of cable I was using to connect the Firepods to the Mac Pro and I said I'm using a *firewire 9-pin to 6-pin cable*. So has asks well, is it *bilingual*? He said that would def fix my problem. I told him it is advertized as bilingual and that had not fixed the problem; he had no answer for that. Then, I broached the option of adding a firewire 400 card to my Mac Pro. He said I guess you could try that; get one with a TI chipset. That's where I'm at now, deciding which one to get and whether I will need to provide auxiliary power to the card's on-board molex plug.
    Any ideas?
    Oh, thanks for responding

  • Logic pro 8 problems with mavericks

    Logic Pro 8 worked fine with snow leopard. Just upgraded to mavericks and now when the playhead moves across the screen it wipes the track region clean (leaves empty black space). If you use the slider to move the viewable area from Left to Right the area refreshes and becomes viewable again but this is a major pain and a dissapointment.
    Anyone else experience this? Know a fix?
    Thanks.

    Re your comment and assumption: If you choose to buy a new Mac (and that in itself indicates you are not struggling that much financially)  at no point in my post did I say I had done that or even intended to!
    Well, to have to run Mavericks and not being able to downgrade to an older version of OS X indicates you just have bought a recent Mac.... because modern Macs cannot run, say Snow Leopard as that particular OS X doesn't support the modern hardware found in recent Macs..
    That is, of course...unless you meant there is a different reason why you can't/won't downgrade? If the latter is the case then that is a choice you are making based on your own priorities.. which was the other point i was trying to make.
    Re your: and complaining about it here.. is a waste of everyone's time... surely noone is under any obligation to reply, or even to read a post. And "everyone" in this case appears to be just octopi and you! Goodness me.
    Actually.. I was refering to yourself (and others who do much the same thing) more than anyone else.... As I said, because Apple 'isn't here" complaining here about Apple's actions is frankly a waste of your time (and efforts) and everyone else's for that matter. hence why I included that link which demonstrates a much more effective manner of getting across your displeasure with Apple's polivies.. to Apple themselves!
    I don't believe that octopi's post indicated any form of arrogance or bullying.. Just him venting the much felt frustration over posts from people who don't do the proper research prior to upgrading their OS X and then complaining about it later!
    Again, these type of posts are  all too common here and in other such forums.. and after a while it does get a bit old you know.... especially when there is post after post on the same subject which few people take the time to read first before posting up their own post... repeating what has been said countless times before.
    So please bear that in mind before passing judgement on octopi who actually does a great deal of good for the most part, and spends a good deal of his (unpaid) time.. helping out other users.. in these forums...
    Cheers..

  • Syncing External Audio with Video on iMovie

    If syncing external audio with video on imovie, once successfully syncing the 2 is it possible to permanantly merge them so that I can continue trimming and rearranging clips without having to continue to re-sync the audio and video after every change I make?

    In Final Cut Pro X, yes. In iMovie...no.
    The workaround in iMovie is to sync your external audio to the video clip. Mute the audio on the video clip so all that is left is the good audio. Then use SHARE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME. Choose Movie to QuickTime Movie and under Options choose Apple Intermediate Codec as the Video Codec.
    Then save this clip in a place you can find it. Finally, import this new clip back into your event.

  • Logic Pro 9 visual glitches with Mavericks update

    Hi Guys,
    I updated to Mavericks on the day of it's release. I'm running Logic Pro (9.1.6) and everytime I hit play I now get these black blocks that follow my playhead. amongst other smaller visual glitches like midi notes appearing in the arrange window rather than the piano roll... I'm not totally convinced this is anything to do with Logic Pro 9's compatibility with Mavericks however the problems only started since the installation.
    Any ideas?

    I'm rnning Logic 8.0.2 and i am also  having this issue. also my Mbox 2 Mini is not working (i know it's not the best interface anyway, but  still.

  • Does Logic Pro X actually work with the Roland VS-20?

    Hi all.  According to the support docs, the Roland VS-20 should work with Logic Pro X.  I've installed the latest drivers, the latest Logic plug-in for the VS-20, and the latest VS-20 Editor.  On occasion (and I have no idea what the magic formula is), I've gotten the controls and audio to work via the VS-20.  However, more often than not, the VS-20 controls (transport controls and faders) do nothing, and playing audio results in a horrible screeching through the VS-20.
    A couple of other points of info:
    The VS-20 always shows up correctly in the Control Surface and audio settings of Logic Pro X.
    The VS-20 works fine in Reaper 4 as well as when only using the VS-20 Editor.
    I'm using Logic Pro X (10.0.3) on a 2012 MBPr w/ 2.6GHz i7 and 16GB RAM
    Is anyone out there using this setup successfully?
    Thanks!

    Roland was very helpful, even though their solution didn't actually work for me.  I sent them the same info as above, and here was the reply:
    We are sorry to hear that you are having trouble. The VS-20 is definitely compatible with Logic Pro X. Be sure that you have setup the VS-20 in Logic Pro X according to the following instructions:
    Audio I/O Setup:
    1.     Select Logic Pro X in the menu bar and navigate to Preferences.
    2.     Click on “Audio...”
    3.     Under the Devices tab, set your Output Device and Input Device to “VS-20 44.1kHz”--if it is not already set.
    Note: The sample rate of your Logic Pro X project must be 44.1kHz--as the VS-20 only operates in this sample rate.
    4.     Click “Apply Changes”.
    5.     Close the Preferences menu.
    Control Surface Setup:
    1.     Select Logic Pro in the menu bar and navigate to Preferences.
    2.     Navigate to Control Surfaces and then click on “Setup...” A Setup window will appear.
    3.     Click on “New” and then select “Install…” An Install window will appear.
    4.     Select “Mackie Designs (Manufacturer) / Mackie Control (Model) / Logic Control (Module) and then click “Add”.
    Note: If prompted with the message “No new Devices found”, click on “Add Manually”.
    5.     In the Setup window, expand the Mackie Control section and assign both the Out Port and Input Port to “CONTROL”.
    Note: If the Setup window does not appear, right-click on the Mackie mixer image and then select “Hide/Show Inspector”.
    6.     Close the Control Surface Install and Setup windows.
    The VS-20 is now setup for Logic Pro X.
    We hope this information is helpful! Please let us know if this does not resolve your issue and include as much information as possible regarding troubleshooting you have done and results you have received. We are happy to help you.
    Sincerely,
    Roland Product Support
    These steps actually resulted in a situation where some of the buttons on the VS-20 triggered sounds instead of their intended functions.  I deleted everything and started over, this time picking the actual VS-20 option in the setup, and everything worked.
    I should mention that I also (foolishly?) updated to Mavericks just before getting this to work.

    Hi - I'm trying to sync iBooks on my Macbook Pro with iBooks running on my iPad. I have some pdf's download from the net I want to share between devices and I can't work out how to sync the two devices. Any help please? I'm running Mavericks

    Thanks for your help Brij011 - much appreciated. Apologies as I'm a newbie but I've looked at the info for synching and I appear to have all the switches flicked on my iPad. Does the iPad and iBooks only sync in iCloud for purchases as I appear to be doing something wrong. I could sync ok when books was in iTunes but since migrating to Mavericks I think I'm doing something wrong!!

  • I want to sync my audio with my pictures

    I want to sync my audio with my pictures in iDVD and can't get it to work.  How can I do it manually?

    All you can do in iDVD is select an audio track or playlist from iTune and set iDVD's slideshow Slide Duration to Fit to Audio:
    If you have an older copy of iMovie, specifically iMovie 6 HD you can precisely set your music to yoru photos with fade outs and ins as you need:
    It's, by far, the best version of iMovie for manipulating audio.

  • What's the best Mac to run Logic Pro 9 and above with no issues

    What's the best Mac to run Logic Pro 9 and above with no issues?

    Any Mac that can happily run OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Logic Pro 9.1.5.....
    Note: Newer Macs cannot run Snow Leopard because SL doesn't provide hardware support for the newer hardware found in these newer Macs....
    Next best combo for newer Macs is Mavericks 10.9.5 and Logic Pro 9.1.8... but it is nowhere near as efficient a combo as the previous one mentioned...

  • I accientally synced my iPhone to 2 different computers. Now my older apps are on one computer and new apps are on another.  Every time I try to sync all apps on one computer it takes the other apps of and just syncs what is on that computer - Help please

    I accientally synced my iPhone to 2 different computers. Now my older apps are on one computer and new apps are on another.  Every time I try to sync all apps on one computer it takes the other apps of and just syncs what is on that computer - Help please
    I cannot for the life of me figure this out.

    What you need to do is connect your phone to iTunes but do not click sync.  Go to File at the top and click transfer purchases from phone, that'll put all your apps into iTunes.  When it's done transferring, locate your phone on the sidebar and click it.  Then find the apps option above the picture of your iphone, you can select which apps you want or don't want on your phone.  After selecting your apps then you can sync.  Once you do this you should never have your problem anymore.
