Loops in Library Lag Behind Playback

Hi, I'm a Logic Express newbie.
Things seem to be working pretty well, but whenever I play a composition and try to select Loops in the Library for previewing in realtime, the loops each take about 5 seconds to start playing. When I have nothing playing, the loops play instantly.
Is this normal behavior? In Soundtrack and GarageBand I can instantly preview loops while playing my composition. Is there some sync setting I need to adjust?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, I guess it does snap to the next bar. But it doesn't make much sense (and is pretty disappointing) considering it breaks the ability to preview dozens or hundreds of loops in realtime, an ability that lesser apps (based on the same Logic engine) like GarageBand and Soundtrack have had since their inception.
I'm going to log a feature request with Apple and hold off on purchasing upgrades to Logic Express (including Logic Studio which I was considering) until this is addressed, because I edit compositions that contain many loops and this issue is not present in less expensive apps like GB.
Thanks for the reply.

  • Audio begins lagging behind video in iTunes;  other video works fine

    Something that appears to have started after iTunes 10.x as I don't normally play too many videos on the PC from iTunes is regarding video playback in iTunes. The longer a video plays the longer the lag between what's showing up on the screen and the audio portion. If I stop and start the video it starts off synced again and then begins lagging. If I go outside of iTunes I can play other video formats such as wmv, avi, with no trouble, DVD and BluRay playback are not affected. The video files from iTunes play fine on my iPad. I can see no obvious cause for this, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have a decent high end PC running Windows 7 64 bit, with a quad core i7 processor, 6 GB of RAM, a terabyte of disk space, and an ATI 4870 HD video card.
    Thanks much!

    I'm having the same problem. As I play ted podcast, the video starts lagging behind audio, and the longer I play, the more pronounced the effect. As I pause, video and audio re-synchronize.

  • Timeline Lagging in Playback

    So I have an issue with Adobe Audition CS6.  When I playback ANY audio file and watch it in the timeline the timeline lags.  Either the waveform or the spectral display, the video is always lagging behind the audio.  I can't find any answer to this anywhere.  And it isn't a consisten lag either.  It gets wors as time goes by.  It seems like for ever fifteen seconds of playback the timeline lags behind the audio an extra second.  So at a minute it is four seconds behind.  When I stop and start it catches up but the lagging builds again. 
    I'm at a total loss now.  Thank you for any help.

    The first thing to ask is whether you've installed the 5.0.2 update? If you haven't, you can find it here (assuming you're a Windows user). This resolves a number of issues, and really is the first thing you should try.

  • Why does JRockit updates lag behind Sun's?

    If I understand correctly, JRockit's class libraries are exactly the same as Sun's.
    Sun has already released update 8 for their 1.5.0 JRE, and JRockit is still at update 6, which means that the class library bugs fixed in update 7 and 8 are still present in JRockit.
    Why does JRockit updates lag behind Sun's? Judging by [url http://forums.bea.com/bea/message.jspa?messageID=600038245&tstart=0]this post, this lag is measured in months!
    Doesn't the VM development happen separate from the class libraries? It should be possible to release a new JRE with the "stable", QA'd JRockit VM and the newest class library (with all its bug fixes) within a week or so, instead of months.

    The class libraries are almost identical, correct. But a JDK update from Sun almost always contains changes in other components than just the class libraries. Some of these affect JRockit, in particular the native libraries (AWT, I/O, etc). Changes in the class libraries may cause performance or stability regressions.
    With every release of JRockit we certify our JDK (Sun classes + JRockit JVM + other components) on a large number of platforms. We did a count earlier this year and came up with around 80 different combinations of JDK level, OS and hardware that we have to test in every release by the end of this year.
    On these platforms we run a huge set of tests, including performance and stress tests. Even though a large part of our QA is automated, it is simply not possible to run everything in parallel so there is a certain minimum amount of time this certification takes. On top of that we have a set of time-consuming tests that have to be run manually.
    To summarize it is simply not possible to do this without some lag. And JRockit has a much quicker uptake than almost all other 3rd party JDK providers (many of them with JVMs based on Sun HotSpot). One example is that it took IBM almost 18 months to get their first J2SE 5.0 implementation out of the door.

  • My phone is lagging behind after update.

    Ever since i updated my 3Gs to the ios 5 software its been lagging behind. For instance, when i text a word, sometimes/most of the time, it takes about a 1 second before the word even spells out. The letters when typing dont pop up till about 1 second after they are typed. Is this because the 3Gs cant handle the new software? Thanks.

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    If still a problem, I suggest Restoring your iPhone and not installing the backup when requested.  You'll then need to re-setup your email, reinstall your apps and resync your iTunes library.

  • Video Lags Behind Audio in Preview Pane, Timeline and Rendered Video

    Hello,
    I'm having an issue with a six minute video that I grabbed from the media browser in Premeire and am attempting to use in my timline.  The first few mins of the 6 minute video is fine, but as the video progresses in the preview pane the video starts lagging behind and finally towards the end is probably half a second behind.  The mp4 file plays fine outside the confines of Premeire.  I've tried reloading a new file, etc, but nothing seems to work.
    Also, I uploaded another file that works fine.  No audio lag.  However, the file that works I grabbed from my Kodak flip camera, the file in question is from a Flipcam.  The file that works is a .mov.  As I mentioned, the file with the lagging audio is an mp4.  It seemed to work fine before in other projects.  Also, I noticed that lately that Premeire is a bit slow.  It wasn't as slow a week ago.
    I'm using an iMac with a 3.6GHz Intel Core i5 processor with 4MB level 3 cache, 1 Terabyte of disk space, 4GB of ram, ATI Radeon HD 5750 graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory.
    I'm not sure if there's some setting's that I'm missing or what.  I'm not very clear on capture settings when I open a project.  When I opened the project I was a little confused about what settings to use.
    Thanks very much.

    Dear LaPastenague,
    many thanks for your ultra response...I have revisited my earlier  thoughtsi / question...I possibly may have not mentioned, the whole intention was to add another device which is in my kitchen and cabling to it could prove time consuming....
    Just came back from Maplins with a NetGear universal wireless adaptor for my Win XP machine which will be located in the kitchen.
    I was balancing future swap arounds with the AE if my TC [ 2nd Gen] decides to pack up on me.

  • Video lags behind sound in YouTube app

    I am using the iPad mini with the latest iOS update (7.1.1). When I use the YouTube app, the video lags behind the sound.  What I mean by that is that I play the video for a few seconds and the lip-synching will be off.  If I then pause the video, I can see the video catching up to the sound.  However, the video will quickly begin to lag behind the sound again.  This makes watching anything with dialogue pretty awful.

    The same issue is happening with the Netflix app.  Also, apps like Facebook and Safari seem to be crashing much more frequently for me after this update.

  • Clock is lagging behind despite deleting adjtime

    After a few weeks the clock lags behind by several minutes. I already tried deleting the adjtime file but that didn't help. I don't want to use ntp because it can mess up log files and is not really a solution but just a "hack" to work around.
    Edit: This is fairly new hardware maybe a year old, so I don't think it's a hardware fault. The PC is always on anyway so it doesn't rely on battery.

    It is possible that even a cheap quartz wristwatch uses more sophisticated clock design than the RTC in many motherboards.
    Given the rather poor typical drift in the RTC I would not be surprised if it is not actually a quartz clock at all, but a simple LC oscillator circuit that is part of the large integrated circuitry on the motherboard or the BIOS chip, and kept supplied with power by the CMOS battery that keeps the clock powered up when the computer is not connected to external power.  If that is the case then it is not too surprising that it drifts like fury, since the temperature of the board will vary with CPU use and with external temperature variations. 
    I have always taken it for granted that without external time synchronisation the internal RTC is likely to be out of sync by some minutes per week.  Hence it is essential in linux to run one of the time synchronisation daemons such as NTPD or CHRONYD.  These will keep the system clock in sync to within a few microseconds of the world's atomic time clocks, and when shutting down will, if set up right, write the current time to the RTC, which will then have a reasonable starting time at the next bootup unless the machine is left for some weeks before it is next booted up.  Either way even if the RTC is out by several minutes when booting up, if the ntp or chrony daemons are started by default during boot then within a few minutes the system clock will be back to within microseconds of atomic time.
    I don't know of any way to improve on that for a machine that is not networked but perhaps there are accurate clocks that can be connected to a computer (say via usb?) that could provide a sunc time for the operating system to use as system time, but perhaps someone more knowledgeable than me will explain if that is possible or not.

  • Do older models always lag behind/run slow?

    The reason why I ask is I currently have an iPhone 4S. I got it in July of 2012 right before the iPhone 5 came out. After iOS 7 came out I noticed performance decreases. I don't think I had any major performance issues before 7.
    My question is, do older models of Apple products lag behind when they release updates? I want to buy the new iPad mini and want to keep and use it for years to come(more than 2) but I am concerned if it will start showing performance issues when Apple starts releasing updates.
    How good is an Apple product before someone has to upgrade? Do the older models lag badly or is this just an IOS 7 issue..

    If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up

    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Sound "lags" behind video after HDV Capture!

    So I'm new to iMovie. I recently tried to capture some HDV clips from a Sony HDR-FX1 and when I play the clips after I've captured them, the sound lags behind the video. I've captured regular DV (4:3) clips without having this problem. Does anyone know what is happening?

    Sometimes, if your import of HDV tapes is slower than 'real time', the sound may seem too slow (..lower pitch..) or may lag after import.
    This seems to be due to a memory "cache"; iMovie seems to remember that the video played slower than normal while importing, and so the sound runs 'slowly' afterwards.
    It sometimes works just to quit from iMovie and then restart the program (..that empties the "memory cache").
    You could also 'Extract' the audio (..by selecting the video clip, and then using Apple key +'J'..) so that it drops into the separate audio track beneath the video. You can then just drag the audio clip to the left slightly, so that it matches up properly with the video.
