Logic X - Weird Sample Rate Error - what Laptop should I upgrade to?

I have a MacBook Pro 13 - Mid 2009 (2.26 Core Duo) with 4GB Ram updated to Maverick to test of Logic X. I also have a iMac 3.2 Core i3 with 12 GB Ram running as Snow Leopard and Logic 9. Generally, the iMac doesn't have any issues with projects with lots of plugins; however, the laptop would sometimes choke up on Logic 9 on projects that had lots of third party plugins. I didn't update the Imac because I didn't want to deal with the loss of 32 bit plugins (update **** as I call it)
After updating to Mavericks and running 32 Lives (to resurrect my lost 32 bit plugins), The laptop now will not play a project that has 6 midi tracks and a single audio bass track. I get a weird error that the sample rate is 32456 or some arbitrary number. I updated the Core driver (Line6 Guitarport), but that didn't help. Sample rate was set to 128 (on Logic 9 it is usually set at 64). I then tried upped it to 512 and it seems to work OK, but I thought that Logic X was supposed to be less demanding due to running 64 bit? Any ideas what is up? I really don't want to run the audio at 512 due to the high latency.
After going back and forth, I'd rather update the iMac to the newest version (a quad i7 with the 3GB Fusion) than a new laptop - spending $3000 for a laptop just seems plain nuts, especially since I would only use it infrequently (I use my iPad for browsing on the go).
Anyway, what used laptop should I upgrade to that will run Logic X without having to pony up $3000 for a Quad Core i7 with 16 GB rams? I also need a laptop that I can upgrade the HD to 1TB SSD.
Big thanks. Love this web site.

The sample rate is not 128 or so, you probably mean the buffer size...
But the performance drop makes sense: switching between a 64 bit process and 32 bit doesn't come free: it cost performance and creates a jitter, which also either shows as performance lost or instability.
You really have to move away from outdated 32 bit AudioUnits, sorry. Ask the vendors to finally release 64 bit versions, it has been several years since 64 bit is available.

Sample Rate Madness : What Did I do This Time?

I typically record at 24/48, but last week I had to mix an old project that was originally recorded at 24/44.1. I had some problems switching to and from 44.1 and 48k, probably due to my M-Audio Lightbridge, which seems a little buggy at time. It's clocked over lightpipe by the master, hd24XR, which is also set to match.
Problem:
I changed the autload to 44.1 while mixing the project, it made the devices more stable not having to change back and forth. I forgot to change the autoload back, and recorded a new project today. Both the XR and Lightbridge were set properly to 48k.
I didn't discover my error until the session was 2/3 done, but I had gone back and forth about whether the audio didn't sound quite the same on playback. It seemed a little clearer when I was tracking, as I was probably listening to D/A at 48k. When I checked the files, they were at 44.1. Its nice that I noticed the difference, but I messed up. oops...
Question:
Where did the conversion from 48 to 44.1 take place? The XR said 48, and the Lightbridge said 48 on both the hardware and software control panel. Did Logic automatically down-convert? Or, please tell me no, the M-Audio Lightbridge?
Thanks guys!

Hi Ryan,
Do you think it would sound any different if I changed the headers?
Changing the header will not alter the samples/audio data of the files. What you do is change it to the actual sample rate (WC) used when the recording took place, when it presently states the old session sample rate - you then change your session sample rate.
Whats the quickest way to change them all?
As always make backups. I don't know what you have for software (beyond Logic, WaveBurner, iTunes...) there is a free utility called soundhack which should take care of this in minutes - ( I don't know how many you have ).
So, you change the SR for all files then reopen the session.

Sampling Rate- How do I check and adjust the sampling rate on my Laptop?

For the purposes of matching the sampling rates on my laptop to my usb microphone, (recording in garageband) how do I find out what the sampling rates are on my 2009 macbook? Many thanks!

Why am I getting midi conflict/sample rate errors. GarageBand 10 intel mac

Why am I getting midi conflict sample rate errors with no connected midi device?

Ok, I'll answer this myself. It has nothing much to do with midi devices being in conflict with anything. Nothing much to do with midi devices, as such, in fact. What it seems to be is a slow running system, whether it be processor, or hard disk, or whatever. In fact, when I found the cause of the problem, it was easy to solve.
What I saw a few times throughout this episode, was an inacurate sample rate report, which caused Garageband to run and react slowly, causing stuttering and flutter in audio output, so that noises were produced as the program struggled to handle the data streams it was reading and trying to reproduce and output cohesively. All of that was caused, it seems, by my iMac overworking and getting a bit too hot for comfort, having run all day, and multitasking for a good deal of it. I didn't adjust I/O buffering, or take any of the usual 'advised action' I've read from other users.
I simply saved my work and shut down the machine for an hour or two. When I restarted the machine, all had returned to normal. The lesson is, it seems to me, is minimise, or, stop other tasks the machine is carrying out. Safari, in particular, seems to be a major drain on resources, so work without it running. Shut down all unecessary programs and tasks, and run Garageband alone, when working in it. Garageband is a much tamer beast when it's left alone to do what you ask of it. It's quite a sensitive little soul. :-)

Advice on what IOS should i upgrade 4503

Hi everyone,
We have 4503 with current version Version 12.2(25)EWA10,.
As per link below cisco says current ios is vulnerable.
http://tools.cisco.com/security/center/content/CiscoSecurityAdvisory/cisco-sa-20090908-tcp24
They did not provide to what IOS should i upgrade this switch to?
Can one tell me whats the recommended IOS to fix the above bug?
Regards
Mahesh

Hi Mahesh,
For Sup II+ the latest 12.2 version on CCO is:
12.2.31-SGA11
cat4500-ipbase-mz.122-31.SGA11.bin
There is also IOS 15,
cat4500-ipbase-mz.150-2.SG7.bin
but maybe bugy. I would stay with 12.2xx for now.
for both images you need 64Mb flash and 256Mb memory.

What software should I upgrade to on an iBook G4 running OS 10.4.1 that is still capable with the computers hardware capabilities?

What software should I upgrade to on an iBook G4 running OS 10.4.1 that is still capable with the computers hardware capabilities?

The reason I ask is that I have just gotten an iPhone 4S and with the 10.4.1 software I'm running now, it doesn't allow my iTunes to update to the newer version. Therefore, being stuck with an older version of iTunes, it refuses to recognize the new iPhone and will only charge it rather then be able to add music to it.

2 Firepods + LaCie FW800 External HD = Sample Rate Error

I've had my first Mac for only 3 weeks now and have found this board EXTREMELY useful in solving every little problem I've had, even with my lack of Mac & Logic experience, until this one. Thanks in advance for the help.
I'm getting an error while trying to use 2 Firepods w/ my new LaCie D2 Extreme 160gb FW800 external HD. I can record 12 tracks to the internal hd from the pods, but not if the LaCie is connected. When I connect all three I get the message "Error while trying to sync Audio & Midi, Sample Rate 40676 recognized. Check conflict between logic pro and external device." However, I can record from the built-in mic to the LaCie if the Firepods are not connected. Is there some conflict over the firewire ports? All of my sample rates (in AMS and Logic) are set at 24-bit 44.1kHz and I'm using built in audio for system I/O. Longwinded, but does anyone know what is happening here?

I have the newest Powerbook G4; the two firepods are daisy-chained into the FW 400 port and aggregated as one 20 channel device. The LaCie goes directly into the FW800 port. There are also two USB ports for the xskey and wireless mouse. The firmware is updated and I have the Presonus Firepod Control installed as well. Thanks again.

Geting audio sample rate error, help

Hey all, been doing a massive project where I ma bring in tons of old 8 mm tapes, hi8 and digital 8. This one tape I brought on though however is giving me grief. I keep getting this error:
The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape. This may cause the video and audio of these files to be out of sync. Make sure the audio sample rate of your capture preset matches the sample rate of your tape.
If find this odd though cause the tape should be standard, NTSC dv 48 K. Any suggestions. Also how do I reset my final cut so that when I plug in a camera it always reads it as what it recognizes. I ask this because I had to used the setting uncontrollable device because on the original old 8mm tapes there is no time code so I had to capture that way.
Anyhow, any suggestions on this would be great for if I recapture. Cause I could line it up by eye but want to find the problem so I know for the future. Thank you.

This is a recent problem that seems related to a recent upgrade of QuickTime. Here's why.
In the last month, a rash of these posts have begun to appear:
"DV Capture Audio problem"
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6708693&#6708693
"audio/video"
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6591262&#6591262
Plus this thread, plus my own.
In my case, nothing changed in my operating system or Final Cut Pro version. I upgraded to QuickTime 7.1.6, and the problem began. I have upgraded all the way to 7.4 to no avail. When I attempt to import a DV clip using the same Sony DVCAM deck that imported the same clip in December, I get the error every time. Nothing has changed in the tape, the deck, the Project or Final Cut. I am simply unable to import DV video. I can import other kinds (Panasonic P2, for example), but DV is a no go. I cannot get rid of this error.

FCE Capture-sample rate error

After capturing Digital8 footage off my Sony DCR-TRV310, I get this error.....
"The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape. This may cause the video and audio of these media files to be out of sync. Make sure the audio sample rate of capture preset matches the sample rate of your tape."
So far, in spot checking the media it seems to be OK, but I'm anal about errors! I couldn't find the audio sample rate for the camera/tape in the sony manual, any ideas? Also were do I select the audio sample rate of capture preset, even if I knew the tapes sample rate? Or is this nothing to worry about
Thanks, Schooner

Hi(Bonjour)!
Usually, camcorders allows to set the audio sample rate to 12 bit (32 kHz) or 16bit (48 kHz).
The audio sample rate for DCR-TRV 310 can be set to 12 or 16 bit. See page 57 in this user manual:
http://www.mediacollege.com/equipment/manual/sony/camera/dcrtrv315.pdf
FCE easy setup allows to select DV-NTSC 32 or 48 kHz for sequence. This settings apply to capture session too. The message you've got means that the audio sample rate on tape doesn't match the sequence audio format.
This problem may give a drift synch between audio and video.
First check the item format for video clip in browser. The audio sample rate should be 32 or 48 kHz. Note it and select the right setup in easy setup dialog. Create a new sequence and insert your video clip.

Unsupported sample rate error?

Randomly soundtrack pro has corrupted itself, I will be working on a project one day, close out open it the next day and when I try to playback I hear lots of chop. I then noticed that none of the sample loops will play, they just cut off after half a second of playing. In the general tab I enabled Alerts- I get the following error *"UNSUPPORTED SAMPLE RATE, The output device cannot support the sample rate of this project. The output will play at a rate of 44.1 KHz. When you export a project mix, it will be exported at the project sample rate."* any clues??

Check the sample rate of your audio hardware.
If you are monitoring through your Mac then look at *Audio Midi Setup.app* found in your Utilities folder, and make sure the audio output samplerate matches your project.

Audio Sampling Rate Error?

Hello,
I am mable to create a .dv of an iMovie in Quicktime, but when I try to export it as a .wmv (something I've done before) I get an error that my file contains different audio sampling rates and then aborts. Any ideas of how/where to fix these rates? (all I am using is audio from original .dv film (16 bit) and a jingle from the sound effects library.) Any help is appreciated!

Sample rate error

Hi everyone!
This is my first massage in this great forum. I'm a beginner in LV so be patient, moreover I apologize for my poor English... Anyway I hope to be clear.
I have to read different signals from different sensors such as pressure sensors and speed sensors. Both of them give to my SCXI module (SCXI-1303) voltage signals. I aquire them with PCI-6220 M series board.
At the beginning I created a task for each signal (using MAX)... They worked properly at the sample rate of 1 KHz only if not running at the same time. I later discovered that more tasks of the same type can't run simultaneously on my board. So I have later created a global channel for each signal and then I have created a new task adding the channel of analog input (voltage type) in it (always using MAX). I chose as sample rate 1KHz as before but now there's an error:
Error -200332 occurred at DAQ Assistant
Possible
Reason(s):
Specified sample rate is higher than the fastest rate
supported by the device.
Property:
SampClk.Rate
Corresponding Value: 1.0 e3
Maximum Value:
480.769231
Why? Where is my mistake?Please help me.
Thank you!!
p.s. I use Labview 8
I love the smell of napalm in the morning

OK.
This information certainly helps.
As you can see in appendix A page 1 of the 1100 manual the settling time of the 10KHz filter is around 200 us. A little math leads us to 500Hz which is really close to your value. The problem is that the 1100 module has only one filter shared between channels.
This filter needs a bit of time to settle to the correct value while switching from one channel to the other, clearly if you don’t scan between channel you don’t occur in this problem.
I don’t know anything about your application, maybe you can circumvent the problem running one task at a time and closing and opening each task with a ms delay (Typical software time)
Kind Regards

Sample rate error clarification.

I got this message all of a sudden when playing a recorded project on Logic x "
Sample Rate 41824 recognized.
Check conflict between Logic Pro X and external device.".I also hear a vibration sound on playback.

Hi Ministrel,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some steps that can be a good place to start for troubleshooting issues with Logic Pro X:

The whole audio sync/weird sample rate/drift issue (FCP6)

I can tell this question is doomed to fail on account of viewing the other unanswered questions on the subject in the forums, but I'll try nonetheless!
So yeah, importing longer DV clips....audio rate winds up being 'weird' (as in 48003.9kHz instead of 48). Any way of straightening that out that doesn't require a buncha hoops? I've already tried re-exporting it from QT at 48kHz and a few other things. Do I just have to capture in separate chunks instead of one big go?
I found a doc that says, "In previous versions of Final Cut Pro, the "Sync Adjust Movies Over [n] Minutes" option could be enabled in the preferences, triggering an adjustment in the audio sample rate based on the amount of audio recorded to disk during capture. In Final Cut Pro 4 [and up, I'm guessing] this preference has been replaced by automatic audio rate analysis, specific to DV media..."
Apparently this rate analysis ain't working as well as it should...or something...
Anyone?
Thanks,
E

If your footage was shot with the Panasonic dvx100 camera, there is a known audio sync issue. You can install a patch from disc 1 of the FCP install discs inside of the "extras" folder. I've had this problem from time to time and I capture DVCPRO 50, so it's not just a mini DV issue. I usually get an audio rate slightly below 48, like 47.89999 or so. Are you using capture now? I used to get this problem a lot more when using capture now as opposed to log and capture. My solution has always been to always use log and capture and keep clips 15 minutes or shorter. I've tried trashing prefs and all that jazz, swapping out hard drives, but log and capture and shorter clip lengths always seem to clear it up.
