Multi-Take Cycling Audio Missing Revisited...

Apologizes for all the typos in a previous email on the multi-take recording audio missing. I have since done some research and have better terminology to use so I'll restate. I believe this could be a bug and want folks to be aware of it at the very least.
Someone else posted a problem with the "cycle multi-takes" saying that after using pieces of several takes on one track, as done in the instruction video shown in the link below from Apple, his problem was the audio showed up but was not playing at all. I have done the same thing, but the audio just disappeared in 2 out of 10 of my takes, nowhere to be found. It played perfectly while I previewing and deciding what to use, and all takes are still appearing in the drop down list, but when you select them, they are empty. Tried to post a picture of my screen, but can't figure out how to do that!
http://www.apple.com/findouthow/music/garageband08.html#tutorial=multitake
The only thing I did different from the video was to make a new track and copy the multitakes to it, decide what I wanted where and copied it back to the main track after splitting it appropriately.
Thanks to all that offer help on this discussion board!

I believe I have the same problem. When I record multiple takes and then CMND+T to split the track and use different takes, they disappear, re-appear, and sometimes are lost again for good. This is the worst sin a software developer can make--losing a musician's best takes.
I am furious at Apple for this, particularly since Apple Care has consistently claimed ignorance. Apple if you're reading this, you have made a mess of several nights work on several occasions for me. Thanks a lot.

Audio missing when shared to QT

Hi,
I've shared a 52minute movie original in iM6HD to QuickTime and on two occasions the audio is completely missing in the resulting .mov (and also a .wmv version I made).
This is a pain as it takes hours to save to QT.
Where am I going wrong, guys?
TT

Your audio settings may have been changed.
1. Open Audio MIDI Setup (/Applications/Utilities/), then check the Audio Output setting.
2. Change the Audio Output setting to 44100.0 Hz.
3. Quit Audio MIDI Setup.

Alternatively, if the audio was from copy-protected tracks from iTunes, they won't copy over. If that is the case post back for a workaround.

Multi-hop cycle detected

When I try to open Safari on my MacBook (not Pro, just the older MacBook) a white screen appears with
"Your request is prohibited because it would cause a cycle." on a tab labelled "Multi-Hop Cycle Detected."
Anyone know how to fix this? I called Apple and they had no answer.
Can't open my Yahoo email to receive your response. Thanks. Sparkysmom

FWIW, I've asked the hosts to remove your phone number. It is quite dangerous to post your number in an open forum. You are not talking to Apple here, just other users volunteering their time to help and never want to reveal personal information.

What do you think of the new multi-takes feature?

So the new multi-take feature seems to be the way it's done in ProTools - they layer on top of one another and you can click on the region to select the appropriate take.
Personally, that had confused me a bit, because things were hidden. I liked seeing everything I had, so I really liked the way Logic worked it, allowing multiple tracks tied to the same audio object. I would then comp takes by separating regions and leaving good takes unmuted. That way I can still see the takes that I didn't use for the comp. Make sense?
I'm curious what you guys think are pros and cons of the two approaches.

After using it for an hour it s totally unusable for me.
When I comp I often have to nudge bits of audio to get the feel right.
You cannot do this at all and also auditioning the takes is also very painful.
So is this for clicktrack-guided single tracks then? Can this be used when you record simultaneous multiple tracks (think orchestra with a main stereo pair, spots on woodwinds and several others - say 12 tracks at once). Then another take of the whole piece (without click means slightly different tempo in places). Then another... Can the comping feature assemble the best pieces from each take like cut/splice a virtual multitrack tape? Or is this feature something more limited?

Hi Folks, I am using FCPX 10.0.8 on a MPB 10.8.2 with a multi in/out audio device RME Fireface 400. I recorded a timecode track through in 11 and routed it to out 3. Initially it worked, although it did also play timecode through the main outputs 1

Hi Folks,
I am using FCPX 10.0.8 on a MPB 10.8.2 with a multi in/out audio device RME Fireface 400.
I recorded a timecode track through in 11 and routed it to out 3.
Initially it worked, although it did also play timecode through the main outputs 1&2 !!!
Now it has stopped playing TC through output 3.
Is FCPX capable of working with professional audio?

Why is audio missing from movie

why is audio missing from movie

I think I may have confused you a little bit, sorry. Hope this might be easier to follow.
1. Copied nieces VHS tape to DVD discs. Tape runs approximately 2hr. 39min.
2. Put first part on work copy 1. This consisted of the lead up to the ceremony and the ceremony itself, ending with still shots of the wedding party, in the park. About 1hr. 1min.
3. Put second part on work copy 2. This consisted of the wedding reception, beginning to end. About 1hr 38min. No possibility of overlapping content.
4. Ran both work copy 1 and work copy 2 on the VCR that's hooked up to the TV. (Not the Toshiba copy machine). Both ran through, beginning to end with no glitches.
5. Opened Adobe Premiere Elements and loaded work copy #1 so as to make three finished copies, one for bride and groom, one for bride's parents, one for groom's parents.
6. When placed on the timeline, contents of work copy 1 had no audio for VTS_01_1.VOB while VTS_01_2.VOB and VTS_01_3.VOB were whole.
7. Tried for several days to eliminate the problem with no success. A.P.E. showed file sizes of .99GB, .99GB and 47MB respectively. The 47MB is actually about 2 minutes of still pictures of       the wedding party. I was not going to attempt to burn the project until correcting the audio problem.
8. Wrote in to the community forum and happily received your response. Tried every thing you offered without success. Though I am thankful for all your time and effort. While nothing worked       so far, I have learned a few things and will retain my notes so as to keep this information at hand. (Don't know how you're able to maintain all that info).
9. At this point, in view of the results of step #4, I thought to try Windows DVD Maker to see what developed. Loaded work copy 1 into that program, which recognized the audio in the first clip       (VTS_01_1.VOB). I did not run the work copy, beginning to end, in this program. But I felt that as long as the audio was present in the first clip, this program would allow me to burn the           copy. When the burn button was pushed, I received the error message "Will Not Fit", and the duration of 30 min for clip 1, 30 min. for clip 2 and 25 hours and 30 min. for clip 3. Clip 3 being       the 2 minutes of still pictures. After trying unsuccessfully to remedy this problem it was time to try a different approach.
10. Opened A.P.E. and loaded work copy 2 onto the timeline. Successfully made three finished copies of this disk in a short period of time.
11. Took the VHS tape back to the Toshiba to make another copy (work copy 1A) of the first segment.
12. Played copy 1A in the TVs VCR and it played fine, no glitches.
13. Opened A.P.E. and put work copy 1A on the Timeline. This time there was audio in clip 1, which could be seen on the audio line, but it was the audio from work copy 2. This, even though       I had deleted the files from work copy 2.
14. Accepted the fact that this has become a career. Can't imagine what you're thinking. Since beginning this endeavor I have become much older and grouchier. My dog will no longer walk         with me. Neighbors go back in the house when they see me coming. Oh, and my wife sticks out her tongue and makes funny noises whenever I turn my back.

Multi-Channel output audio from Quick Time (or iTunes)

Hello all,
I am trying to get multi-channel AC3 audio output from QT and can only get two channel stereo. I have seen lots of related posts but can't quite get it.
I am trying to configure a Mac Mini to output properly via the TOS link port to my audio system. I get surround sound fine playing a DVD but not when playing a .m4v file that does give me surround sound when played on my Apple TV.
Should this be possible?

I appreciate the link Brent! I also had someone point me here http://fplanque.com/dev/mac/ac3-ac-3-5-1-surrond-sound-apple-mac-osx and all is good now.
Thanks!

Multi channel firewire audio interface

Hello, Is anyone using a multi channel firewire audio interface with a mac mini? eg alesis miltimix?

No issues. You'll probably want to invest in an external 7,200 RPM Firewire drive though since the Mini only has a 5,400 RPM SATA internal drive.
I used it with both TIger and Leopard as well as Logic Express 7.2 and Logic Express 8.
OS X supports it right out of the box so I didn't even need to install additional drivers.

Help needed: audio missing - export to html & pdf

audio missing - export to html & pdf
both soundtrack and audio on specific pages play fine as slideshow and as export Quicktime.
exports to html & pdf are missing audio entirely.
the audio assets are not in the html folder.
i am not doing anything complicated, one .tiff image per page, approx 12mg apiece.
one soundtrack and one additional page specific audio track.
box checked for saving audio files in preferences and while 'saving'.
tried triggering with 'begin audio' builds.
tried different approved formats for audio.
tried different themes. at default settings.
i am out of ideas. any suggestions?
much appreciated.

Sound files are not included in html or pdf exports. There is no way to make it happen. If you need the sound you can export as Quicktime.

Audio missing from video recording.

I recorded some camp footage with a canon rebel T2i. there is audio when i play the clip in imovie timline, but when i export it there are peices of the audio missing. I have removed the clip and re-uploaded it several times and the audio is still missing in the same places. Im not sure if maybe i have the setting wrong or if maybe the file from my camera is corrupted.

Same problem with me and it seems a lot more users. Audio and Video are playing fine in other players and other types of video, everything is connected as it should. You would think that something major like this would not get past quality control before it's being released. I'm getting more and more agitated as there has been absolutely no mention of this from Apple, yet this seems to be a wide spread and major problem. I bought Season 1 of The Office tonight and it is rendered useless because audio won't play, and the DRM limits how you can view your videos.

Hope all this suggests a solution...
Thanks for your help, all...

Thanks for all this information, T.
So why are you editing a 1440x1080 video in a 1920x1080 project? If this is AVCHD footage, it's very important to use the right project settings.
That has no effect on your audio, of course. But it could affect your video quality when you output your file.
That say, can you explain what you mean by "Audio missing from save project"?
Do you mean that you don't hear the audio in Premiere Elements -- or that you don't hear it when you output, say, an MOV or WMV file?
What file format are you exporting and what are you playing soundless this file on?
And, finally, is there no audio whatsoever, or is only some audio (music, for instance) missing from your output?
