No sound from GM tracks

I've just installed LE 7. As a test I've recorded a few bars on one of the GM devices (Grand Piano in this case). The notes I play through the keyboard when recording do not come out. Also, on playback total silence though the sound meter is flickering.
I've tested the packaged Loops. They come through loud and clear. I've tested the metronome. Also no problem. Its just the GM instruments. I've checked the obvious; Mute, Solo etc. Nothing. I've upgraded to 7.1.1. Nothing. Is this something blindingly obvious??? Grateful for any help. Regards, Tried Everything!

Hi David- not to sound too smarmy, but a lot of us who were new to the discussion boards took two or three visits before we realized we could do a search thru previous posts using the search bar. That may be the one thing DD had not realized before he posted. That being said, I was one of the people who posted the same sort of question early in my "discussion carreer", and had I known i could search straight off I probably wouldn't have. I realize given the depth of your ability it must frost you to see the same questions again and again, so good on you to supply the thread. I'm sure it will help a lot of other people who read your post. Cheers, JW

No sound from audio tracks

I am trying to edit some clips with a background song. I have placed one song into the timeline with no problem but now when I add new audio clips and files they don't play! I can make the original sound on the clips play or mute but nothing added to the project will play.
Are there any fixes for this? (I have tried consoludate media with no success.)

I'm having a similar problem. Did you ever receive a reply or otherwise solve your issue? Thanks for responding.

Surround Sound from stereo tracks

I was under the impression that you could mix Surround right on the FCP track in FCP 6. IF you can I dont see it.
My files are Wav files
I have one stereo track for audio (two tracks).
One stereo Music
One stereo Effects
I want to put the narration on the center speaker and
the music on R L and also the rear R and Rear L
and the effects on the Front R and Front L.
Do I have to go into SoundTracks to do this or is there a way to do it in FCP6?

I was under the impression that you could mix Surround right on the FCP track in FCP 6. IF you can I dont see it.
In your Sequence Settings, alter your audio preset to 5.1, you'll then get 6 outputs/busses - 1 stereo pair (for L & R) , 1 dual mono set (for C & LFE) and 1 stereo pair (for L & R Surround).
You can then 'mix' within FCP by sending the tracks in your timeline to the specific outputs. Though in your case, since you have pre-mixed elements, this might not work for you.
But, as Jerry says, you're best off with a dedicated 5.1 setup. Otherwise FCP automatically does a stereo downconvert for monitoring

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I turned on the duplicate tracks for editing ?

How can I turn off the sound from the original midi or audio tracks when I edit or listen to the duplicate tracks in Logic Pro 9 ?
I'm using iMac desktop with Mac OS X Version 10.7.3. Pls advise.

Dan,
It sounds like one of your preferences has changed.
Go to preferences > audio > general, and make sure "track mute/solo" is set to "CPU saving (slow response)". It is probably set to "Fast " at the moment.
This setting (fast) basically causes immediate muting from the channel strip while your song is in play. This is because the audio is still being read from the hard drive, but the channel strip is simply muted.... like a hardware mixer. When set to "CPU saving", the audio from that track, when muted, is actually stopped from streaming from the hard drive, but there is a couple second delay before the audio is actually muted.
One would think that the fast setting is generally preferable, except when you need to do what you are doing. The only way to keep duplicate copies of channel strips acting independent of one another is to leave this setting on the "CPU saving" setting.
Hope that helps

When I record an audio track, there is a waveform. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing?

When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?

In Logic:
Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number. It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.

Garageband is not picking sound from builtin mic (rMBP). I recorded some tracks, now it is not working. All other apps can use the mic. Monitoring is switched ON at GB, it picks sound only some other app, eg. Skype, is used to access the mic.

Can any one help me, Please!
Many thanks!

I have foud the solution - rather stupid. The system setting for audio input was at 70%, increasing it to 100% solves the problem!

i recently got new mac air and transferred my old version garageband projects now when I open them in 10.0.2 I can add new tracks but then nothing can record, shows its receiving sound from software inst. but no sound. I checked audio preferences and they are set as they should be. I tried it in all the other older projects and same issue anyone have any experience like this very frustrating. Can one download old version still ? or can you run both versions on OS10.9.5 ?

Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
Two questions, every idea would be great!
- Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
- Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
Thank you again,
Joern

No Sound from Logic Express 8 during track playback?

Hi and Help. I am probably being stupid and I guess this is simple to clear up. I have read the manual but I can't find a resolution (probably miussed that to!). Anyway the problem is this, I have just bought Logic Express 8, set up was fine on my macbook pro intel core duo which is also linked to logitach Z-10 speakers (actually good!). Upon opening Logic I set up a track (by the way Core Audio is on) and drag a loop from the brouser into a new track, it locates in the track and I play it back, nothing, not a sound or blip on the channel indicator. I can audition the loop in the brouser and it plays fine. Why no sound playback from the track??
Can you help please, I have odviously missed something simple but I don't know what it is.

Well yes I was being stupid. I have resolved the issue, it was down to understanding terminalogy. All is working.

No Sound From SOME Real Instrument Tracks

All tracks (real, software & guitar) are recording properly and play back is fine. Then out of the blue a previously recorded real instrument track will not play back. Software tracks are playing and "blue" drum loops are playing back back, but not real bass or real guitar tracks.
The wave files are there and the activity is visible. The volume meters are moving, but there is no sound. The track is not muted and no tracks are in solo mode.
I can copy and paste the tracks and they play again, BUT they loose quality and all of the sequencing, as far as where the region sits in the song, is lost.
Any one know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.

Recording sound from DVD and CD play

I just bought a Zen V Plus. Could someone please tell me how to record sound from a DVD and/or CD to my MP3? Thank you!

Try this:
1. Connect the Line IN jack on your player to the line output of an external stereo source, such as a CD or MiniDisc player, using the supplied line-in cable.
2. Press the Back/Options .You may need to do this more than once until the main menu appears.
3. Select Extra button to start a line-in encoding.
5. On your external stereo source, start playing the song you want to encode.
6. While encoding, you can press and hold the Back/Options button and select one of the following items:
Pauses the encoding. You can also pause the encoding by pressing the Play/Pause button.
Stops and saves the encoding. You can also stop the encoding by pressing the Record
Split Ends and saves current recording session, and begins a new one.
7. Press the Record button to end the line-in recording. The recorded track is named LINE followed by the date and time of the recordin YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS<. For example, if you record a track on March 5, 2004 at 2:57 pm, the track is named LINE
This information can also be found in your user's guide, it's a .chm file found in your installation cd.

No sound from Audigy 2 ZS Platinum (Drivers seem fi

I cant get any sound from my analog speakers, headphones, or optical connection. All signs in windows say the card is operating properly and has no conflicts. The card was working fine until I booted up my computer today and it said the creative drivers were no present when I tried to access the audio console. I cleaned off all the creative drivers in safe mode and reinstalled the drivers from the creative website. It appears to be functioning now on the surface, but I get no sound. Windows media player runs through mp3s but when I use Foobar 2000 the track loads but stops right before it should have sound output. (No error messages)Media Player classic will "play" tracks, but no output. Please assist.

Hi,
I am experiencing the exact same problem, and i have tried the suggestion of removing the card boot up, shut down and install the card again, but it is still quiet ??
Dxdiag seems to have the right info about the card but there is still no sound.
I did a revert to "last working configuration" and got it working again.
Now i have installed drivers according to the "Auto update" and now it is very quiet again.
Any more ide?s ? please.

Can't get sound from my midi channels

Hello. I've been using Logic 8 for a while. 2 days ago I updated to the newest version 8.0.1 and after I did it, I can't get sound from my midi channels. Before the update I could use my Ivory pianos perfectly, but after the update I can't. I've tried every setup I can imagine. I've been here sitting for hours trying to fix it but I can't .
Logic recognizes my keyboard, since I play...all the notes appear on the transport bar, but i can't get sound from any sampler (Ivory, EXS, EVP88, etc).
I've checked my outputs, etc...but nothing.
Please help me!!! I'm desperate!
Thanks

Do you hear the Audio tracks and only Software Instruments are not working od don't you get any output at all? I was just assuming that through the update your Apogee has been removed as your Audio device in Preferences->Audio->devices.

Can't record sound from DVD player

I just built a new DAW with a Gigabyte MoBo that has the Realtek sound chip on board. I installed an M-Audio external Fast Track Pro connected to the computer with USB 2.0. With the two sound devices I can play Band in a Box (my main band) through the Realtek and out put to my mixer. I then use my Line 6 Pod XT as a preamp to my guitar that also goes to my Behringer mixer. I connect the main out (R&L) from the mixer to the 1 and 2 inputs on the M-audio. I set Audio Hardware setup in AA3 to use the M Audio device for input and am able to record mixer output to tracks in AA3. I tried several configs and this is the only one that I found that works. All is good so far.
I installed a SATA DVD player (Lite on 24x) that works fine, but it plays through the M-Audio via USB, bypassing the Realtek chip, and the sound does not show up in AA3. I'm thinking I need to route the DVD output to the mixer to use the channel that is already set up. I've been trying to output the DVD player through the onboard Realtek but can't find any way to direct it to do so. I don't necessarily need it to play through the Realtek, but I want to be able to record from the DVD player.
So, does anyone have any idea how to direct the output of the DVD player to the sound card of choice? I'm stumped.

Eric,
Thanks for your reply. Realtek audio works only in playback. There is a stereo mix in the mixer but the recording controls are not operable with no sliders in the mixer for any recording option. Slider controls appear to be grayed out. Can't figure out how to enable them. Downloaded newest drivers to no avail.
The M Audio control panel has no apparent option for recording stereo mix. Adobe ignores the sound from the DVD or CD and shows flatline.
I'm trying to record the sound from the DVD not rip the track.
When I go to Audio Driver Setup and select Audition 3.0 windows sound, there is no input device installed.
I'm thinking of going back to a decent internal Soundblaster card like I have on my 8 year old machine I am replacing.

Is there a way to record sounds from keyboard as they are?

So I have a musical keyboard that I've attached to my macbook to record in Garageband. I have a ton of sounds on my keyboard from percussion, brass, piano, etc.
When I record, for example, a trumpet sound from my keyboard into Garageband, Garageband just records the notes using its one version of trumpet or piano or whatever.
How do I get GarageBand to just record the sound as is?
I tried the "real instrument" track option but that ends up record all sound from the microphone on the MacBook and not recording the sound through the MIDI connection.
