No sound from some audio tracks ... help!

I am using GB 08 to add music to a movie for a friend's memorial. ( A keynote presentation exported as a QT movie)The Movie itself has no audio, I want to use a variety of songs that blend into each other.
I'm used to doing this with Final Cut, but decided that i should familiarize myself with Garage band this time.
I just added the 10th track and now can't get some of the other tracks to play. It's weird.
Tracks 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10 play, but 1, 3, 5, and 8 don't.
(i suppose i could just split the odd tracks and move the sections to the tracks that play, but that wouldn't really give me an answer for this)
I have volume level keypoints where the volume rises and drops, and this action does happen on the volume sliders, and the green levels are visible, but no sound.
None of the tracks are muted or soloed.
Any suggestions for correcting this?
I've closed the program and restarted it and one time everything was fine, until I added that 10th track
thanks for your help
Elizabeth

Okay, thank you, I just tried it
I added a new basic track, it was not muted or soloed.
So i dragged my audio into this new track and it played fine
then i deleted this track and just simply dragged my audio into the composition, as I have been doing, to create it's own new track, which then also played fine, then I deleted this one.
then i added 2 basic tracks (since the problem seems to be with alternating tracks) and dragged music into them and they both work.
so I don't know how to make the problem recur with the new tracks, but the original tracks that I wrote of, still don't play.
Anyway, I've saved it as a version b and have been cutting and pasting the bits of the 'silent' tracks into the good tracks so that they play .... looks a bit like a mosaic but is working so far.
very inconvenient though.
Any more suggestions??

No sound from some audio clips suddenly

Made a 55min movie from multiple video clips and narrated with several audio recordings and added music tracks as well, suddenly some audio clips after the first 30 mins show up blank, when viewing audio waves and their volumes are set fine. Other audio clisp in between works fine thou.
Found this after having exported and shared to iDVD, Audio wave files and Media files seems fine in the project folder/content. what happened and have could I possible recap output from these clips again?
BTW HD ***** on sound facility and sometimes disstores sounds during playback when a project gets too large, sometime after saving project and emptying trash, it might work again for a while
Googled around for few days now with out any solutions, any hints?

Hi stefw,
I assume you've already done the following:
(1) Make sure the audio checkbox is selected for the track you want to hear. The audio checkbox is to the right of each track in the timeline viewer.
(2) If the audio checkbox is selected, then choose View > Show Clip Volume Levels and see if the audio levels for the tracks are set to a level that can be heard"
If so, this is what I'd try.....with your project open, start an new, empty project. Go to the original project and copy one of the clips (highlight it and then FILE....COPY.) Go to the other project and click in the second line of the timeline and click FILE...PASTE. Make sure the audio checkbox (on the far right) is selected for that line and attempt to play it in the new project. If it works, drag it back into your original project and try it from there.
If that doesn't work, look for the. aiff files in the original project file in Finder (find the file, right click, choose "Show Package contents", then look in the media folder.) Drag that file into the new project and attempt to play it. If it works, drag it back into your original project and try it there.
Hope it works out for you.

No sound from edited audio track?

This may be a very simple fix but I am unable to figure it out. When I add a new audio track in the arrange window and start chopping it up into separate waveforms, when I go to play back the audio I get no sound! I don't recall logic 8 doing this to me a few weeks ago but it just started doing this! Any ideas? Thanks for any input =)

I have the same problem. When I import the video and then hit the play button (bottom left) I get no audio. If I skim the curser over the film clips, I get audio, but when I hit Play in either window (edited film, unedited film) I get NO audio. Can anyone help??

Does anyone know how to separate a movie track from an audio track on the new Mavericks Garage band. It used to be very easy on the iLife 11 version. If anyone could respond ASAP I'd be grateful. I need to make an audio file from a video.

I urgently need to make some audio tracks from videos using the new 2013 GarageBand. In iLife11 Garageband, this was very easy. However, I cannot see how to do it in the new one. The alternative might be to revert to the iLife11 version, so does anyone know how to do this. It's extremely urgent since I need to produce these for a court custody hearing which will take place at 0800 GMT UK time on 31st October 2013. Please help.
Thank you.

When you drag a movie from the Media Browser to the Time lIne in GarageBand, you will see a pop-up "Extracting Audio".
The Movie and the audio file will appear in separate tracks. You can copy the audio region from the sound track to a different track to keep it safe and then hide the Movie track.

[SOLVED] How to Create OGG Theora Video From an Audio Track + 1 image

Does anyone know how to create an OGG Theora video (.ogv) from an audio track and one still image. I just want one video frame to repeat until the audio file is finished playing. Make sense? Any help would be appreciated, and if possible I'd love to do it with ffmpeg2theora. Thanks!

I've tested it w/ 'ffmpeg -loop_input -f image2 -i image.jpg -i sound.mp3 blah.avi' and the output works w/ mplayer but I had issues w/ .ogg and .ogv output.
In case vlc and gstreamer won't do, check out http://v2v.cc/~j/ffmpeg2theora/

Some audio tracks bumped out of sync

I recently discovered that some audio tracks have been bumped out of sync starting at one point in my timeline, and there doesn't seem to be any consistency to it–stereo tracks have shifted so that one track starts early while the other is in sync, others start together but have been bumped, while all of the video seems to be correctly placed, and some audio is still in sync. This has happened on various audio tracks and with varying degrees. Any clues on how could this have happened? Could it be from insert edits? I use them all the time and never had any problems like this before. Please help!

This can easily happen if you audio and video tracks are not linked. (Apple L toggles linking on and off) When they are linked it's difficult to inadvertently bump the picture or audio track out of sync.
As for the stereo tracks. The only way to bump them out of sync is if they were, at some point, not stereo tracks. (Option L toggles stereo) And even that should rectify itself when they get made into stereo tracks again.
I say "should" because I've had stereo tracks of unequal lengths show up a few times and have never been able to figure out how it happened. I do know that if you don't fix them they can play havoc with the audio if you export the sequence to QT.

No output from recorded audio tracks, only midi tracks..please help

I've been working on a song in Garageband and suddenly lost audio from real instruments and can only hear the midi from last night until today. It consists of 3 midi tracks and 9 audio tracks. I have software plugins or FX on almost all 9 tracks with amplitube or similar. Things are slow as the arrow is red at the top, however last night I was able to still make changes - slowly. I was able to do a mixdown and export to mp3. Then I shut the computer down. Today I open up Garageband and can only hear the midi tracks of my song however other songs I have work totally fine. Nothing is muted and I've checked everything. Levels meters are moving on all the tracks, I can just feintly hear one guitar track. This is frustrating. I even tried locking half of the tracks and still nothing. I've rebooted etc and same
I'm running Lion with a TC Konnekt 8 sound module, on a 2.4 core duo 2 MBP with 4 GB of ram

I ran onyx and did a clean up etc then rebooted, loaded GB and same problems. I turned on the ducking thing, everything looked ok and then once I hit play everything worked again. I've turned off ducking and it still works. Could this be a glitch as I've never enabled it before

CS4 What stops audio from being moved to some audio tracks?

I find in some cases a snippet of audio that would fit easily into what at least appears to be empty track above it, will not go there. Instead what looks something like the little magnet icons... (only verticle) .. appears at the cursor and the audio will not be moved up.
I'm trying to conserve tracks a bit since I've hogged up 5 audio and 3 video. I don't like having some stuff out of site while editing if possible nor do I like making the stuff above the timeline so tiny or buried. I'd like to use what appears to be empty audio track where possible
Is there a setting the will allow me to move audio as I please?

Ahh, that it explains it then... thanks
Harry,
Those Audio Track type/Audio file type mis-matches have tripped up many.
Management of Tracks, both Video and Audio, can be a bit of alchemy, and a bit of art. One can do a lot about locating them, but one feature that PrPro does not yet have is Track dragging.
There is a thread from about 6 mos. back that goes into some of the details of Track management. Throughout that thread, there are complaints about no Track-dragging, but if you ignore those, one can get the step-by-step on doing it "the PrPro way." If I can find it, I'll link to it.
Good luck,
Hunt

How do I stop the sound from some previous website from interfering with the audio from a new web site?

Mozilla Firefox is my default browser. Whenever I try to listen to the audio on a video, parts of some old audio from a previous video interfere. I still maintain my Microsoft Explorer browser and I do not experience that problem with it. The only reason I use Firefox is that it supports some games on Facebook which apparently Microsoft Explorer does not.

Thanks guys. Both options worked. Dowside to deleting audio (option I went with) appears to be that you lose the audio forever. So if I ever wanted to bring the audio back I wouldn't be able to.
You are partially correct in that the Audio is no longer on your Timeline. It is still in your Project Panel, and you can move it back to your Timeline if ever needed. The complete removal from the Timeline is why I work with the Audio Mixer in cases like this. Also, on could alter the Gain on a Clip by Clip basis.
With using the audio mixer it appeared I had to mute each clip separately. When I highlighted all the clips and selected mute for audio 1 it wouldn't mute all of the selected clips.
The Audio Mixer works at the Track-level, and not at the Clip-level. That is why I use it so often - one click, or slider adjustment affects the entire chosen Track. If it did not work at a Track-level for you, something is wrong. Now, if one has Clips on different Tracks, then Muting of all of those would be required, or one would have address things on a Clip-level basis.
Any way to use the audio mixer to mute the clips in mass?
See above for how it should work, and also the exceptions - Audio on several Audio Tracks.
Good luck, and remember that your Audio still resides in the Project Panel, should you ever need it again.

Missing Some Audio Tracks from Premeire Queue'd videos

Hi I am useing Premeire CC 2014 to Queue some videos that have 4-8 tracks of audio. They play fine in Premeire. When I Queue the clips in AME CC 2014 and then render them with a H264 codec transcode, I am only getting the last track (Music) in the outputted video. I am missing the voice over tracks.
Not sure why this is happening? Any suggestions. I am using the Audio Track Mixer with Submixes and effects on the Submix in Premiere. Perhaps there is an issue with this.
Thanks
DB

It can be done with QuickTime Pro
<http://store.apple.com/us/product/D3380Z/A>
"Show Movie Properties" in "Window" menu, detete the unwanted track, then "Save" in "File" menu.
You may need to install Perian

Can't export quicktime with 5.1 audio track - help

I have a very unusual problem that I am running into.
A festival has asked for a Pro Res Screener vs a DCP like I am used to with a 5.1 audio mix.
No problem I figure, I grab the 6 individual audio tracks from our sound guy, mastered as 5.1 L,R,C,LF,SL,SR.
I create a new sequence, lay in my Video track and the 6 audio tracks from track 1 - 6 in the same order as above.
I setup my sequence the first time to be a 5.1 sequence, with 5.1 tracks.
I set each track according to it's placement with the little 5.1 diagram in each track.
I export using pro res, and set the audio to 5.1, L,R,C,LF,SL,SR
I figure at this point all should be good. I bring the renderd file back into premiere to check the file and create a new sequence directly from the new file.
I get 1 video track with a 5.1 audio track.
This is where things get weird. There are 5 channels in the track, however the left and right tracks have a mixture of L,R,and C, there is no audio in the C track, no audio in the LF track, very slight audio in the SL track and no audio in the SR track.
What is going on?
I have tried exporting this now about 10 different ways. Figuring that the audio tracks were all mono tracks I tried to set them up as individual mono tracks 1-6 and I just end up with a 5.1 track that has mixed L,R and no audio in any of the different channels.
I've searched the web and I'm going crazy with this. i'm about to send the project off to have it digitally mastered by someone else. this is quite ridiculous.
Has anyone experienced this problem before? I figure I have to be setting up something wrong? but what? how come there are no 5.1 templates in premiere to work from?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. I really hate to send this project off to someone else for such a seemingly simple task. Seriously, this is making DCP creation like a walk in the park!

Richard, thank you so much for that link. That seems to have done the trick, at least 95%. I have successfully routed all tracks to a single 5.1 file that can now be successfully exported... however, even after following his invert track trick, I am still getting nothing in my LFE track. How on earth do you rout that LFE track? Has it changed in premiere CC 2014?

How do I separate a video from an audio track?

I imported an edited .AVI file into iMovie HD. I want to reedit it, but am a complete novice. I would like to realign and edit certain audio in that file with reedited video (sorta basic editing I guess). When I drag clips into the Timeline Viewer it seems that the video and audio are one or at least inseparable. I have no idea how, or if I can, separate the audio track from the video track. Could someone please lend some guidance. Thanks very much.

TexanMac,
If a clip is in the timeline you can choose Advance>Extract Audio. That will place a copy of the clips audio in one of the two audio tracks.
From there you can do what you want with it.

Why does transport bar show Midi Out activity from an AUDIO track?

I am running Logic Pro 9 on Mac OS 10.7.5 and I've noticed lately that The Transport display is indicating Midi output signal when I have an AUDIO track engaged. This happens when I engage the Record-Enable button, while I'm actually recording, or when i merely press Play. The good thing is that it does not affect my ability to record and playback my vocals.
I should add that this also happens when I have a Software Instrument track playing or recording (but not when only Record-engaged). I'm not sure if that's what's supposed to happen since we are dealing with midi data in this instance. I know there should be Midi-In activity, but not sure about the Midi-Out activity.
My Audio Track is used for recording vocals from my mic input, which is a separate in put from when I'm recording the output of an external midi instrument. I have checked all of my connections, I have tested my Midi Interface and Midi controller keyboard through Audio/Midi Setup in the Utilities and everything checks out. I have not added, taken away, or replaced any software, nor hardware.
This is very puzzling to me because as far as my limited knowledge takes me, I do not think I should have any midi activity while I'm recording from my microphone inputs onto an Audio track. Any insight would be helpful.

There's been lots of talking in this forum about MidiO. Just do a quick search!

Record sound from M-Audio Firewire Solo input with S/PDIF

Hey there, I am using a m-audio firewire solo and connect it to my mac mini 2013 with firewire cable. If I try to record sound from my guitar, it is ok, however the sound from S/PDIF input cannot be recorded. I can see the sound signal from the mac input preference, however it just cannot be played or recorded. I have searched through the forum and found some people also have the same problem but just cannot solve it. Does anyone have some idea? Thanks.

Have you selected the correct Input pair in a stereo Logic channel strip? Standard s/pdif is a stereo signal.
Also, the M-Audio device may have to be set to slave mode as the incoming digital signal will have to become the master digital clock for the M-Audio unit.
The M-Audio unit should probably be set to 48kHz, it's doesn't do 96hHz does it?

No sound from some audio tracks ... help!
