My computar is not writing AIFF files correctly

It seems whenever it write an AIFF file (or a WAV, or an MP3 for that matter) the bass frequencys are boosted by about 4db. I used to think this was just a problem with Logic mixing (which also causes me a lot of frustration) but it now seems to be happening across the board.
For example, I used wire-tap to lift a song of the internet, but upon listening to the said file it turned out the bass has been increased by a bizzare amount for no reason.
The final proof came when I decided to rip a song off a CD and put it in Logic. Upon re-bouncing the file I discovered the bass frequencys had been pumped up in a most irritating manner. This happened again when I used wire-tap to rip the tracks off the CD as they were playing in the computer. This problem does not occur when I drag and drop the files off the CD and onto the desktop.
I think this all points to something being wrong with my computer software.
This problem is ruining all my very loud, sublimely beautiful mixes at the bounce stage and it's getting so bad now I'm thinking of backing up my files, formatting the hard drive, and reinstalling OS X.
DISCLAIMERS:
1. EQ on iTunes is SWITCHED OFF.
2. My monitor equipment ALSO HAS A FLAT EQ.
2a. When I play a track on my listening equipment from a CD IT SOUNDS FINE. Only after processing the VERY SAME track in LOGIC and BOUNCING IT does this problem COME UP.
2b. This happens EVEN IF THERE IS NO EQ on either the MASTER OUT or the AUDIO TRACKS.
3. I HAVE TRIED ALL FILE FORMATS, ALL KINDS OF DITHERING AND NOTHING CHANGES THE OUTCOME.
4. This never used to happen.
5. I am using the latest version of Logic Pro (7.1.1) compatible with Mac OS 10.3.9.
If you fix my problem I will reward you with £10 to be paid into your pay-pal account (if you have one). I hope this underlines how sick I am of this problem and how desperate I am to get it fixed.

Hi,
This sounds so frustrating. If any processing of sound, e.g. through Logic, through Wiretap, or you might try Garageband (which I assume you have tucked away somewhere), produces the problem, then its hard to blame the software of the individual program. This leaves OSX and/or Coreaudio, or a hardware problem. Sorry if you've already reached this stage. This would mean a reinstall of OSX (or an upgrade, if you're thinking of it), or addressing the hardware issue. I know I had some very bizarre things (and repetitive) happen to me with faulty memory, or memory that just wasn't seated properly in its slot. You could start out by running the hardware test and go from there.
Good Luck,
Ray

  • File adapter not writing the file correctly

    Hi,
    I am facing an issue where the file created on the destination is not with the correct data. eventhough the payload that was sent out from XI to the adapter is correct.
    Issue was with a mltiple element which was written once eventhough the payload shows multiple existance.
    we had changed the occurance of that element from 1 to unbounded.
    If anyone has any idea do let me know

  • Not writing to file

    Hi,
    I have made a program that reads a string, converts it to bytes, then writes to a file.
    Well i got the first two working, but its not writing to file. I know it should work cos i have written to file on my previous tests, but when i used a FOR loop it stoped working. Do ya know why. Below is the code...
    for (int a = 0;a = bytes.length - 1;a++){
    of.write(bytes[a]);
    System.out.print(" " + bytes[a] + " : " + bytes.length);
    My friend told me to use bytes.length - 1 as it is meant to stop the OUTOFBOUNDS error.
    OK,
    my regards
    Below is the whole program, its a bit messy cos i got lots of old code that i have blocked.

  • Premiere Pro CC does not open MOD files correctly

    Hi,
    I just started using the Adobe Creative Cloud as a trial, in particular the Premiere Pro CC software, since it might be relevant, I am working on a mac (completely updated as of yesterday).
    I have a JVC GZ-MG505 camcorder. This device saves the video files on an internal HDD in a file format called MOD. From what I have been able to see when searching on the web, this should be nothing more than a MPEG-2 file.
    So, I tried importing some video files into Premiere Pro and to my surprise, I noticed that a whole strip on the right hand side of the image is missing. The original is recorded in a widescreen (16:9) format with 720x576 pixels and Premiere Pro gives me a file with 540x576 pixels. I have tried using the Interpret Footage to change this, but it doesn't let me change the number of pixels. I also tried opening the files in Adobe Media Encoder and I have exactly the same results as in Premiere Pro. However, opening the files in VLC or mPlayer they come out exactly as expected with all the pixels there. Has anyone come accross this problem before or can anyone help me with solving this?
    I could try reencoding the files with VLC, but the output file is much smaller than the input file, so I am afraid I am loosing some definition.
    So, just to restate my problem, the adobe products open my MOD files without complaining, but for some reason they loose a strip 180 pixels wide on the right hand side of the image.
    Cheers

    Premiere Pro CC does not open MOD files correctly
    That is correct: there is a bug in CC. In CS6 they work correctly.

  • Programme written in 6.1 is not writing to file in 7.0

    The programme written in 6.1 was designed to write data into file but i have installed labview 7.0 now and the same programme is not writing to file.

    Hi,
    Here is the detailed information.
    I am running this Labview VI for collecting data through a network analyser and controlling motion of motors through DAQ card. I have already run the cd of drivers given with Labview 7.0
    The exact subvi used for writing file is the hp8720 collect data. This thing has been installed in the Laptop with version 6.1 of Labview. What I have done is that I have taken the same programme and changed its algorithm in Labview 7.0 on a different comp and copied the file back. Then I installed labview 7.0 on the Laptop and tried running the new programme. But everything is working except the writing to file. Error handling has been put up and the message I get is Error reading/writing from/to file. Check file name.
    Kindly h

  • UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE   not writing to file in real time !!!

    Hi All
    I have 3 statements and I am writing some thing to a file using UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE after each statement is over. Each statement takes mentioned time to complete.
    I am opening file in append mode.
    statement1 (takes 2 mins)

    statement2 (takes 5 mins)
    UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE
    statement3 (takes 10 mins)

    I noticed that I am able to see contents written by UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE only after statement3 is over, not IMMEDIATELY after statement1 and statement2 are done ?
    Can anybody tell me if this is correct behavior or am I missing something here ?
    Thanks a lot in advance.

  • File Receiver Adapter is not writing the file?

    Hi All,
    I am having a file to file scenario using NFS as both the source and destination are on server.
    File is getting picked up from server but not reaching the destination.
    In RWB for Receiver channel it only shows <b>Channel active and started correctly.</b>
    In SXMB_MONI  it shows the message scheduled for some later time.
    On reaching that time it tries again and reschedules :(.
    Please guide.
    Regards,
    Sumit

    Sumit,
    Now do one thing, just for check the directory for read/write permission by putting the test file manually on your target directory.
    The porcedure to put a file on server is as shown below:
    1. Save your file in your local machine.
    2. In <b>XI server</b>, enter the tranaction code "<b>SXDA_TOOLS</b>".
    3. In the input screen, enter:
    i) Object Type "DXPROJECT".
    ii) Program Type "BAPI".
    iii) Program "CREATE".
    4. Press Copy (Ctrl+F5) button.
    5. Now, you will get another screen in which you will see 3 blocks called as "Source", "Target" and "Copy with/without conversion".
    6. In Source block, choose the radio button "Presentation Server" and then take F4 help to select your source file. (file which you have saved on your local machine)
    7. In source block select the radio button "Application Server", check the box "Remote server" and take F4 help to select your application server.
    8. In the same block under "File Type" select "P physical file name" and under "File Name" write the path/directory name which you have mentioned in your communication channel along with the file name.
    Example: suppose file name in your Comm Chanel is "<b>demo.xml</b>" and directory path is <b>"/abc/testfiles/XML/</b>", then in step 8 write <b>"/abc/testfiles/XML/demo.xml</b>".
    Note: need not to do any thing in 3rd block.
    After doing all the above, let me know the results.

  • LR not writing XMP files in an exisitng catalog

    Hi Folks
    My problem is regarding XMP files. I read on a couple of forums that turning on the xmp files is a good idea...... (Automatically write changes into xmp) OK so I thought lets try it....
    If I turn this option on in my existing catalog it does not work, no xmp files are written.
    I have tried creating a new catalog and importing some RAW files and it seems to work just fine..... xmp files are created as expected.
    So is this option only for new catalogs or can I use it on existing catalogs....
    Many thanks in advance
    Regards
    batandball
    My config is the following
    LR 5.7
    Win 8.1

    The files that were previously imported prior to the activating the "Auto write to xmp" will have to be updated using the menu bar> Metadata> and selecting the option to write to xmp. (or Ctrl-S)
    Be aware that the develop module edits saved as xmp is only useful to an equivalent version of Adobe Camera Raw plugin in Photoshop.

  • Metadata not writing to file, metadata status "..."

    Until recently, I am sure that saving metadata to file worked fine.  Now, when I do it for a selection, it appears to write (with disk activity and dialogue of files being updated), but then afterwards I still have <mixed> status on the set.  Some within are updated, others show status <...>.
    Catalogue says there is no corruption - so what's going on?  How do I fix it?  And should I worry about teh state of my images?
    Thanks for any help

    Now see that when I save for some that show "Changed", it writes, then returns to
    say either "..." or back to "Changed".  It seem to think that the catalogue has some changes each time.

  • Problem with Write To Measurement File Express VI not writing to file if file was deleted after the first call (7.1)

    I'm using the Express Write to LabVIEW Measurement File in LV7.1.
    I have it set to "Save to one file"  and have tried both "Overwrite file" and "Using next available file name" for the "If a file already exists" conditions.
    The path/filename is passed into the function.
    It works fine the first time around.  If the file is deleted before the function is called again, an error occurs since LV is unable to find the file.
    I have had to stop and re-run my program in order to write to use the function again.
    Since I am able to delete the file I assume it was closed but it seems like LV expects it to be there, even though the function was supposed to create/open/close the file...  Is there any way to reset this without stopping/restarting the program?
    Since my application creates several files (only one using the Express VI) I am checking for the filenames and requiring that they be deleted (or a new filename be used) before acquiring data.  Everything has worked great, except for the Express VI.
    Thank you,
    David

    Ok, I've edited the VI you posted to reproduce my error (this time with 8.0). 
    I added a "master stop" and "start log" button.  To demonstrate my problem:
    1.  Run the VI
    2.  Click "START LOGGING" - c:\test.txt is created
    3.  Click "STOP" - c:\test.txt is closed
    4.  Delete the file c:\test.txt with Windows shell or explorer
    5.  Click "START LGGING" - a new c:\test.txt file should be created but instead an error is raised in the Write LabVIEW Measurement File function.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Dave
