MP3 audio cuts out halfway through song

Has anyone experienced this? Every MP3 that I import into Premier CS4 can only play halfway before the sound cuts out. Please help.
My set up as follows:
Premier Pro Cs4
Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit w/ service pack 2
RAM 8GB
AMD Phenom 9950 Quadcore 2.6GHz
ASUS M3A32-MVP Deluxe
C Drive Seagate 150GB
E Drive Seagate 500 GB
F Driver Seagate 500GB
Thanks
Ian

"...just converting that highly-compressed Audio to PCM/WAV 48KHz 16-bit is the next best course."
Bill...I'm having the same problem in CS4 with MP3's some of the time, not always.  Very annoying.  Sometimes it's on a different Audio track in the timeline and when I move it to another "sometimes" it works OK but mostly it doesn't.  It's about half way through.  As mentioned above, closing the project and reopening it seems to correct it, but it is a very annoying bug in the program.  Never once had it in CS2 (didn't have CS3).  This happens on all my areas on the workspace....timeline, source panel, etc.  Audio mixer shows it drops to 0 at the same point.  Yet when I play the audio clip in any other program it works just fine.
Could you explain how you would convert MP3 audio to PCM/WAV...step by step please.  Thanks very much.

  • Some songs I downloaded didn't download fully, and when I play them they cut out halfway through.

    I downloaded a couple of albums, where most of the songs don't last as long as the time listed, and they sound like they cut out halfway through. For example, a track that itunes says is 7 minutes actually only lasts for about 3. Dragging the songs into song editing software reveals the songs really are shorter then they should be, my ipod isn't just skipping ahead.
    How do I go about getting the songs in full / restoring them?

    That is usually the result of a downloading problem.  You can download fresh copies (at no charge) by following this guide:  iTunes 10 for Windows: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
    In the unlikely event that the new copy has the same problem, it could be a defect in the store master file.  If that happens, you cannot correct it yourself, so report it to iTunes Customer Service.

    I bought a song from iTunes UK, downloaded it to my mac and it cuts out halfway through when I play it. this happens on my mac and ipod. How to i fix this?

    Hello stephen9478
    All you would need to do is delete the song from your iTunes library and then go to the iTunes Store and look in the Purchased section to download any previous purchased content. Check out the article below for more information about any previous purchases.

  • HT1725 song cut out halfway through

    i recently purchase a song using itunes it shows it downloaded all the way but it cuts out halfway thorugh the song.
    anyone know how to make it download the entire song?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

  • HT1725 song cuts out halfway through

    I bought the smash complete season 2 soundtrack today, and one of the songs on it (the song i was actually wanting) cuts out after 1min 49secs.
    I use winamp to play my music, but also it cuts out at the same spot when using other music players?
    Is there any way i can re-download this song to get it complete? When i try though itunes it says its already on my computer.
    Cheers

  • TS3297 Songs cut out halfway through, help please.

    After purchasing Clutch's album 'Blast Tyrant' I noticed that half of the songs cut out mid-song. It is obvious that they are not meant to cut out where they are as I've heard most of them before. Anyone know how to resolve this?
    I also had the same problem with another album I had purchased and downloaded on the same day.

    Other people have been having similar problems with songs over a number of days.
    Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those incomplete tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
    If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find those songs and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

  • Audio cuts out most of the way through an iDVD image

    We created a Quicktime file using Final Cut Express HD 3.5, and imported the Quicktime fill into iDVD 6 (all patches have been applied to iDVD and to Quicktime, and Quicktime has been upgraded to Pro version). The iDVD preview shows that all audio is present all the way through the end of the video(about 1 hour and 5 minutes), which means that the Quicktime file has all the audio present.
    However, after creating a DVD disk image with iDVD 6, the audio cuts out completely about 55 minutes into the video. The spot where the audio cuts out is not near any chapter marker nor near any transition of any kind in the Final Cut editor session.
    By the way, I am creating the image on an external Firewire drive with 112 Gbyte free, although we also tried the internal hard drive which has about 20Gbyte free.
    How can I figure out how to get all the audio onto the image created by iDVD?

    I believe I've found the cause of the problem! Within Final Cut Express, I found a system setting for output buffer size, set by default to 2Gbyte. I also found that the default 'Convert to Quicktime' setting is for Internet Fast Start. I increased the buffer size from 2Gbyte to 3Gbyte and unchecked Internet Fast Start, and I have no more audio drop out!
    I think that iDVD has a bug when multiple file segments are linked together in the Quicktime file (because of the smaller FCE output buffer size). Note that the iDVD preview did not experience the problem, so that part of the iDVD app seems to handle multiple file segments correctly, whereas the part that processes the file segments while creating the DVD image seems to have the bug. Increasing the buffer size masked the iDVD bug.
    So if anybody from Apple is listening, please fix your iDVD bug please!
    Concerning the ZR85, I do re-use tapes quite a lot and have never experienced problems. I do clean the ZR85 heads periodically. However, I shall consider using new tapes more often.

  • Audio cuts out half way through video after conversion.

    I just put together some video clips I've shot into a single video, then ran it through conversion. Half way through the completed video, the audio cuts out for the rest of the film. Yet in iMovie, it's still there. I've converted twice and it cuts out in the same spot. Could corruption in a single clip, kill the audio for the following clips? Since it takes hours to convert, I thought I'd ask before deleting the suspect clip and starting again.
    I've spliced together clips before without problem, using the same camera source.
    Thanks.
    Cheers

    I figured a work-around. From the clip where the audio cut out till the end, I dragged those clips to a new iMovie project. After converting, the sound was intact for that portion. Then I opened the complete version with audio cut-off in Quicktime Pro. Deleted the the half with audio loss. Then joined the new half I just created. Voila!
    Only when I went to post the video on my vlog, did my Internet connection die (Comcast strikes again).

  • I have been watching a rental movie and the audio cut out half way through, tried restoring the apple TV now I've lost the rental.

    I have just been watching (The  Adjustment Bureau) a rental movie and about half way through the audio cut out, I tried rerunning the chapter but still the same problem so I tried the restoring function and now I have lost the 48 hrs viewing of the movie. So how do I get the movie back without paying for it again and is this problem likely to reoccoure and if so how do I rest without loosing the movie?

    Hi David.
    This must be a glitch in the movie file on the iTunes server because my husband and I just reached the same point in he film (The Adjustment Bureau) and no audio! Totally cuts out and doesn't come back in. We tried the same - turned off, signed out, and also couldn't see the rental in the menu... Sign out, sign back in and click 'Check for rentals' in the 'General' menu just under where you signed in.
    It may come up with a negative 'no more rentals can be found' or similar but go back to the main screen and check anyway. It should be there.

  • Audio cut out and midi miss sync

    Lately I have been getting audio cut out, and the missing, 'error while trying to sync audio and midi'.
    I thought it was that I had too many instances of virtual instruments. So I mixed the song down. Imported that into a NEW song, with only one audio track, and then proceeded to try to do an organ overdub...Well Logic still drops out and gives me the message, even though there is NO midi information in this file...
    Then I noticed that even AIF or mp3 files, didn't play properly from the desktop preview mode. They stop too. Activity monitor doesn't seem to be showing anything overworking..
    Disk Warrior fixed some volume errors,
    Anyone have any ideas to try?

    I'm using a motu828. I disconnected the firewire connection, and ran audio from the headphone jack to the motu, and VOILA, no problems... Last year, I went thru two motu units, not really sure if they are the issue.
    I think it might be LOGIC's firewire circuitry. Apple techs couldn't find the issue, I had the G5 motherboard replaced. Another factor was I had 3 Lacie firewire drives (2 firewire 800, 1 400) I have had 4 Lacie drives die on me in the last 3 years. They are the only firewire drives I have, so I don't know if the fault lies with them, or the again Apples firewire circuitry, stressing the drives out???
    I also put a firewire 800 card in my system.
    I have now switched to an external ESATA raid setup. No more firewire drives. So far so good. Since I had the whole motherboard replaced, I don't know what that means in terms of MOTU connected via firewire..
    For now, I'm running audio out of headphone jack, using all virtual instruments, so I know it will sound better when I get firewire audio up and running, but I got tired of it cutting out every 3 - 30 minutes. I'm thinking about the apogee duet unit. But again if it's connected via firewire, I don't know where that leaves me..
    My G5 is three and half years old, perhaps it's tired and wants to be retired....
    The dark part of me wonders, if Apple computers don't start crapping out after three years of heavy use, or is it that technology, software, updates, push the hardware beyond it's capacity after a few years.

  • Audio cutting out at the end of my video

    So I exported a AVCHD video into an uncompressed AVI and then re imported it. I brought it into the time line and edited it a bunch and also brought in another video and mixed that in. For about half of the video, I used the audio from the video itself... but in different sections, I brought in a separate wav file. I used this wav file towards the end of the video for about 1 minute of the video. After I was done, I exported the entire project into a normal avi file because what I'm going to do for now is upload these to YouTube and so I don't want the file sizes to be too huge.
    So I opened up the final avi file in VLC player... and everything is great... except the last 30 seconds or so of the video doesn't have the audio. It plays the audio from the wav about halfway through... and then it stops. The video continues... but there is no sound.
    I went back into the project and everything looks fine. The wav file extends to the end and the audio plays fine when I preview the video. So I exported again just to see if it was some sort of error the first time... but no... it did the same thing.
    So why is the audio cutting out at the end? How do I fix it?
    Thanks in advance.

    Ok I figured out how to do a better quality MP4. However I had two problems. 1... the quality isn't near as good as the AVI. 2... now the audio cuts out in even more places instead of just the end. It seems that the .wav file I imported is causing the problems. In the AVI, the wav file cuts out at the end. In the MP4, the wav file cuts out in the middle AND at the end. I don't understand why this is happening. The wav file plays all the way through normaly, and it also sounds find when I preview the video... but when I encode it... it cuts out in places regardless of the format. Is there some step I'm missing in the process to make sure the audio is all in place?

  • Midi Audio Cuts out when Playback tracks are triggered.

    Hi,
    I am having an issue where if I open Mainstage 2 and begin playing a Midi Sequence through a 3rd party Plug-in, the audio cuts out from the plug-in when I trigger my group of Playback tracks for the first time and only restarts when a new note is played. This is particularly a problem because the sound is arpegiated and continuous. 9 out of 10 times if I do it again right afterwards it will be fine without any issues at all. There was a time during rehearsal when it absolutely would not work, but I think a restart fixed it. CPU usage and memory usage do not seem to be the problem.
    So my question is, is it normal for it to do that on the first time? Is there any reason why it would not absolutely work that time during rehearsal. And lastly, is there anyway to make it just work every time!
    I have tried reading up on this, and from what I understand, putting each playback track on a separate patch might help. My issue with that is I have already designed a layout that fits everything on one screen in one patch. I don't want to be switching screens during a song to adjust levels for the playback tracks. I have One Vocal, One Midi Synth, 8 playback tracks, and 3 Aux strips.
    I am new to mainstage and might not completely understand how to make a set work with patches, but from what I understand if I put the playback tracks on different patches I can't control everything from one screen.
    Any thoughts, insights, or advice is greatly appreciated.

    Logic has that issue at times as well- where the first notes of a midi passage may not play. I believe the timing is such that the note starts are actually slightly before the first beat. Check your starting notes to make sure that they are really starting on the first beat and not slightly before.

  • Audio cuts out in long movie

    I've created a feature documentary in iMovie lasting 1h35m. I've designed the 4:3 Revolution menus in iDVD and everything previews beautifully in iDVD. Assets were encoded at Professional level. All audio is in AIF 48KHz.
    Then from iDVD I saved to a disc image and then mount the image and play it in DVD Player. Everything seems fine until the last 5 min of the presentation where the audio cuts out (video still plays). Otherwise the audio was synchronized throughout. It cuts out in the middle of an audio file that's just like all the other audio files in the movie. This final segment plays fine in iMovie and previews fine in iDVD.
    I've deleted the encoded assets and run it again after uninstalling Perian. Still no joy. Does anyone know what to suggest other than use Toast?
    It's not acceptable to me to put multiple movie files into a slideshow (I've seen this suggested) as you have to click next to go on to the next part of the movie. I also don't want the viewer to have to return to the menu to be able to watch the whole show straight through.
    Help as this is like getting to the end of a thriller and discovering the last few pages are ripped out! What happened?

    Has nothing to do with players. iDVD just does not handle the audio properly. DVD slideshow format is not the same as video - it basically shows still images for a set amount of time while the audio plays. The 99 image limit is a limitation of the DVD slideshow specification which iDVD gets around for the images but it doesn't work for the audio for some reason.
    I have learned of another solution which I will try though; Make a DVD slideshow with multiple slideshows - 1 for each audio file, for example. You end up with chapter markers for each song/sub-slideshow, which is what I wanted anyway. In the future, I will generate the slideshow in iMovie or just use DVD SP to avoid the problem. My problem is I spent a lot of time putting everything together in iDVD and have it just the way I want it. I can't afford to redo everything from scratch so I'll just group the images according to the audio into separate slideshows which shouldn't be too time consuming. I'll let you know how it works.

  • Audio cuts out for a few seconds

    Hi,
    I'm not sure if anyone is experiencing this but it happens to me all the time and it's so so annoying.
    When playingback the timeline on CS6 the audio cuts out at random places and then it comes back, then it goes again for a few seconds then back again,..while video keeps on playing.....this is just random and it can happen as soon as you press play or after a few seconds and it happens when audio is stereo, mono, mp3,wav,aif, you name it.
    Also, it happens regardless of playback quality or timeline render status (red, yellow or green). My computer is quite fast + 24gb RAM so I dont think the PC is a problem, It also happens on a different computer within our studio.
    Needless to say that editing under these circumstances is becoming impossible/frustrating and I'm even considering finding other software to edit with! I've found others with this same problem at cretive cow http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/935424
    If anyone from Adobe reads this, please help!!!
    thanks in advance

    Unfortunately there's no fix for this problem that plagues Classic since release. Considering that a new generation appeared I guess we have no reason to expect a fix anymore.
    I also have the problem and it makes the iPod Classic less desirable to be used as a music player than a generic $10 (no name) usb stick.
