No sound, not the MIDI problem

No sound in Safari 3.0.2, NOT the MIDI resetting problem.
sound prefs are set correctly.
help appreciated.
macbook Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Another possible remedy is to open Garage Band, if it is installed on your system. Then restart the computer/Safari and see if the sound returns.

Adding an effect to a sound, not the entire track

Hey All, I am looking to simply add a effect to a single sound, not the entire track, is that possible with Logic? I am coming from pro tools, and I know I was able to do that there, I was hoping I could do the same here. Thanks so much!

By add effect, I assume you mean add some delay or reverb one one particular note or word. Several ways to do this. Put the effect plug-in on a bus return, and then automate the send level to come up/down for that one incident.
Another way would be to make a 2nd track (audio or midi), Insert the effect on that track, and cut the phrase or note, and move down to that 2nd track. So the whole track would be dry, and that one word, note, would have the effect on the next track.
Make sure levels are similar

We have bought an Apple TV, and have downloaded the sky sports app. We are trying to watch this via airplay, but we are only managing to get the sound, not the picture. Any ideas??

Sky do not allow the app to work with Airplay.You will only get sound.

Intermittent loss of sound (not the video/sound problem)

Hi -
I just got my third ipod (30G ipod with video) two days ago and I've encountered an issue.
Twice so far, after pausing my ipod for 10-15 minutes and then going to resume, I have lost all sound output. The first time it happened, the ipod showed progress in the song - but the second time, although the icon showed that it was playing, there was no movement in the progress bar.
All menu functions work properly and promptly - it's not just a freeze. I tried four different sets of headphones, all with the same result. The only thing I have not yet determined is whether the problem appears when the ipod is docked and audio is not going through the headphone port.
A reset seemed to resolve the problem, but I don't much relish the idea of having to reset the thing every day, especially when I have a 4G color that has NEVER had to be reset. This happens in regular audio mode (I know an issue exists with sound and video synchronization, but that hasn't been my problem).
I am considering rolling the firmware back to 1.0, but I am wondering if the problem might not be either related to the hard disk or even the headphone jack itself (each time the problem manifests, it has been after headphones were removed and later replaced.)
Any ideas, or is this a known issue? A quick search here and at ilounge yielded mostly discussions about the video sync problem. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Finally... someone with nearly the same problem as I'm having with my 30G 5G ipod. You can read about it here:

I say nearly because my problem doesn't exhibit itself every time or I would have taken it to the Apple store and showed them. But this problem of yours sounds alot like mine. I used to think it was related to charging it hence the title on my first thread. But now I too think it's related to the ear plug jack. There is something about the sensor in it and the fact that it is a plug that has like 3 or 4 outputs, I wonder if the seating of the plug has to be right or it shorts out something just enough to screw up the audio. My second thread suggests my problem is related to the case I use which has material around the hole but not covering it. You insert thru the hole in the case and into the hole in the jack. The seating may not be 100% which may cause issues. You didn't mention a case...does yours have one?
Like you, I too had to soft reset the ipod to get it out of this wierd mode. Someone else suggested that when it happens turn off the ipod, pull out the plug, then re-plug it in, turn on the ipod. I have lately found that most of the time if I just unplug and replug the jack it clears the problem. I haven't had it fail enough times to see if this solution will fail or not. See if it helps your situation.
Let me know about the case question.

Audio engine overloaded (this is not the usual problem!)

Hi people
it's so frustrating I could cry. This is not the usual "I have 10 software synth running and get overload message".
Bottom line is: Even with a new project and logic stopped the CPU meters go up to 100%. It happens every 5 - 15 secs. What is strange that the system monitor does not show these spikes. I know it's just sampling but at least some of the spikes should be caught by the monitor. But it's steady at around 10-15% user and system. There is of course no other process eating cpu.
Console looks like this:
Mar 5 00:34:13 noname Logic Pro[902]: Audio engine overloaded, resetting

I swear: yesterday everything was fine. Now it's not working anymore. I'm a developer with 10 years coding and debugging experience but I can't find the solution. I had this problem before. Everything was running smoothly for months and one bad day the problem started. I could not find a solution till I gave up and reinstalled the whole system which took me about 3 days to get everything in place again. Again everything fine for about 3 months.
Not matter what I try - deleting prefs. Starting logic as a new user. Reinitializing everything. Doesn't help. Is there anybody out there who had that problem too? I don't want to reinstall everything again.
Cheers,
Daniel

I using a Line6 TonePort (I am a guitarist).
To make sure that its not the drive (though nothing changed there) I switched setting to internal audio - but that didn't change a thing.
And yes I tried the basics. I also disabled all plugins / AUs in the AU-Manager but I haven't tried to move them away. Give that a try this eve.
It's really strange. It doesn't matter wether it's a new empty project or any other that worked with no probs. Even if logic is stopped and there's no input monitoring: CPU load is flat and then every xyz secs boooom 100%. And its real because it actually interrupts the sound of my guitar or whatever.
I might have to dig deeper and see if I find any tracing tools which might provide more info..
Aaaaargh!
The only thing I actually might tried the first time yesterday evening which I haven't done before is a roland vdrum via midi to ultrabeat but how could that mess things up? I dunno ...

A possible solution to the MIDI problem with Audition 5.5

Hi, all.
In searching for other answers to my Audition 5.5 questions, I've been seeing lots of complaints on these forums about the lack of MIDI compatibility with this version. If you have an external MIDI sequencer, I offer a solution that you might find useful.
Go into Audition's Edit > Preferences and change the time display from minutes and seconds to bars and beats
Specify the time signature to the closest beat value of your song (exampe: if you're using both 3/4 and 4/4 time signatures, go with 4/4)
Set the tempo to match your song
Lay down a full length click track with at least a 4 measure click intro
Insert the same length click intro into every track (which, when working with previously sequenced tracks, is just a matter starting the machine in sequence-record mode with the metronome on, counting the appriopriate beats and turning it back off just before the song starts)
Mute all but the track you intend to record
Record each instrument track to its own file, save and open a multi-track session
Position the first beat of the click track far enough into the session to preclude needing to trim intros (you can trim the silence out with the click intro after mixdown)
Zoom in until a single click fits perfectly under the time indicator line
Drag or snap all the other tracks underneath it so that the first click of each track lines up
I use lots of instruments with slow attack (such as strings), or tracks where the instrument might only be in a few measures, so the 4+ measures of click intro are particularly useful.
Pretty low-tech, but quick and painless nonetheless. It suits my purposes, though I'd love to know if someone has a better method. Thanks for reading.

The other problem is that, even among the "music creation" market, there can be big differences in the perceived importance of MIDI.
I'm not a musician myself but have worked closely with two very different composers. One of them does practically everything in MIDI (using Sonar) then tends to hand me the files to work with in Audition (after conversion to wave format). Some tracks are left in the form they came but others are replaced with live "real" instruments.
The other person is much more traditional. He plays more instruments than I can count and I help him by recording as he lays down drums, guitars, bass, brass, etc. etc. He owns a lot of keyboards but, even with these, he sends me line out and uses the actual keyboard sounds rather than laying down MIDI data.
So, if you asked these two how important it would be to have MIDI functionality, you'd get two very different answers. From some of the recording forums I frequent, I get the impression that my friends are a microcosm of the whole market . Some use MIDI a lot while others prefer the feel and sound of recording live instruments. (And, I'm sure, others inhabit a middle ground.)
True dat. Up until about a year or so ago, I didn't use MIDI, and so Audition was for me music production software par excellence. Then about a year ago, I started getting into MIDI, and now I'm not only using MIDI for creating keyboard-based tracks for overdubs, I'm actually writing songs using MIDI (whereas before songwriting almost always involved a guitar). MIDI has become huge for me, in other words. And whether I go to sites like Studio Central and read Tweakhead's guide to homerecording in which he tells people that modern music-making either involves MIDI or is MIDI-based, or whether I read articles in Sound on Sound magazine which constantly reference MIDI in their articles, have regular features about sample librairies that use MIDI, or look at the countless ads touting MIDI keyboards and controllers, it's clear that MIDI is as much a part of modern recording as guitars and mics. Before, I never used to get what Steve was on about when he'd say that Audition isn't music production software, because I had produced five albums of stuff using either CEP or Audition. Now, I understand what he means when he says that. When he says Audition isn't a music production software, he means 'Audition doesn't have MIDI'. However, the truth of the matter is that Audition is a wonderful music production software if you don't use MIDI, and a partial music production software if you do. You know, I've tried out other softwares - Reaper, Studio One, FL Studio (ha!) - and none of them come close to Audition for me. Sure, I can get by using Reaper for MIDI, but knowing how Audition does things, I know that I'd be happier doing it inside Audition. Hence, the continued lobbying. I want the best.

Not the average problem with wireless connection. Please help me..

I've been having wireless connection problems ever since I upgraded to Verizon FiOS from Verizon Wireless. Before upgrading to Verizon FiOS in the fall of 2012, my brother's laptop connected just fine with the connection. After upgrading to Verizon FiOS, my brother's laptop could not connect to the internet. It showed the wireless connection signal as Excellent, but I could not access the internet. Either it would be extremely slow or there would be no connection at all. Also, the router would sometimes restart itself randomly, and it was extremely annoying for me since I am hardwired with my desktop.
This was weird because my iPod Touch connected perfectly fine to the wifi. So I thought it must be the laptop. But I brought the laptop over to my cousin's house, who also happens to have Verizon FiOS, and the laptop connected perfectly fine. I called Verizon and none of the technicians knew what the problem was. We tried disabling and enabling the router, changing the channels, and anything that was on the list. They couldn't help me and I was extremely disappointed because not only am I not accessing the internet with my brother's laptop, but I am also paying for the service too. The last technician I called in 2012 decided to send me a new router. I hoped this would work, but it did not. This router, too, would completely reset itself numerous times before settling down and letting me use the internet.
I gave up after that. But in the spring of 2013, I got really fed up with the service I was receiving and I decided to call Verizon again. Again, Verizon tried to help me fix the laptop with their tools and solution guides. But nothing good came out of it, so I decided to ask for a technician to come to my apartment to fix it. We scheduled a day and I was pretty excited since I was almost positive that the connection for the laptop would be fine by then.
I was wrong. The technician came and only stayed for about 20 minutes. He said it must be the laptop or it must be that the walls are too thick in my apartment. But that can't be it since, in my cousin's house, the router is on the second floor and my brother was using his laptop on the first floor. So it couldn't be the laptop nor the house. So we came to no conclusion. He just attached a mini router to the laptop and hardwired it. I wasn't so content but I was glad my brother could finally use the internet now.
About three months pass by and I decide to get myself a new laptop. I get it and I am hoping the wireless connection works. It did, so I was almost positive that it was my brother's laptop that was the problem, not the wireless signal. I go on vacation for a few days and I connect perfectly fine at my friend's house. When I return home and try to connect to my wireless connection, it didn't work!
At this point, I am extremely frustrated. I decided to call Verizon again to replace my router because it was being extremely annoying. It kept resetting itself and I was tired of it. I replaced the router, and this is the router I currently have, but I STILL have the same problem. It resets itself on its own time and I hate it because I'm always in the middle of something. Wow, just wow. There is nothing they could do to help me fix this. I call up a technician, for the millionth time, and he tells me he can't access my router. This occurred with the previous technician who sent me the new router. He tells me his tools are not working and tells me he'll call me back the next day.
It was the next day and I did not receive any phone call. I am extremely disappointed in Verizon FiOS' service and it's customer service. I leave it alone and I just hardwire my laptop to the router. Of course this works, but what's the point of having a laptop when I have to keep it hardwired on my desk? After a day or two, I decide to check if the wireless connection works, and it did. I was surprised. But every now and then, it would shift on and off. Most of the time, the wireless connection is either EXREMELY SLOW or I get none at all, nonetheless, it still says the connection is Excellent.
Please, if there is anyone who could help or try to help me, I would most appreciate it. If there is more information that you need, ask me and I will try my best to provide it to you.

Admittedly, that IS a strange case. Unfortunately, it sounds like all possible troubleshooting has been done by the tech support agents. you mentioned that you were dissatisfied with your other service, did it have a similar problem? theres a possibility of dirty fiber or a bad ONT port, but the random rebooting of the router would almost exclusively be a bad router. question: is the router in the same location as before?

Problem with microphone, Audigy 2, and a Dell (not the same problem as the 8 million other topi

Hello,?I recently reformatted my hard dri've and had to reinstall drivers for nearly everything, etc. I have a Dell Dimension 4600, and an Audigy 2 sound card. My microphone worked fine before the reformat and then it was broken. Its not that it wasn't picking up my voice (I have read that the typical problem with Dell computers and microphones was that you had to almost scream into the microphone to get it to hear anything). When I tried to record something, it would record what was coming out of my speakers, and not what I was saying (no matter how hard I yelled). So, when I was playing Counterstrike, everybody heard my gun shooting and grenades exploding etc. instead of my voice (which was what was coming out of my headphones). So I downloaded the ISO available here and through some complicated, random process of uninstalling and reinstalling the various sound drivers I found on the internet, I managed to get my microphone to work perfectly. I changed some settings before I went to bed on Sunday night, and when I tried to use my microphone on Monday it didn't work again (and I had the same problem as before).
So I reformatted again and am trying to figure out what order I installed and uninstalled etc.
So my question is, has anyone else has this specific problem (when attempting to record it records what comes out of the speakers/headphones and not what is being said into the microphone) and remembers how to fix it's? What I did was really bizarre, something like downloading Dell drivers, installing them, uninstalling them, downloading Creative drivers, installing them, installing Dell drivers on top of them, uninstalling both, downloading the ISO, reinstall the Creative drivers, install the files from the ISO, or something like that. Obviously that includes a lot more steps than are needed and because part 3 of the ISO is currently down (I don't have a CD burner so had to redownload the whole thing (I just used a CD emulator last time)) I can't work on it right now :/

Actually, it's not a problem but a setting. On surround mixer .rec source setting --> when you set it to What U Hear everything you hear becomes recorded --> for microphone recording set it to microphone (also set "monitoring while recording" on/off).

I am trying to get sound from the MIDI output from an analogue synth (Prophet 08) as an External MIDI track in Logic Pro 8

I route the signal via an Edirol UA-25. I open a new project, new track and specify it as an External MIDI track. While the indicator light next to the Mute button blinks when I press a key, there is no sound.
Can you help me, please. I have read the manuals, to no avail...

David,
Learning is not a bad thing, I'm just saying what you thought MIDI did is in error, you're not the first.
Here's an article explaining what MIDI is and how it works, it probably seems less than you thought it capable of but the fact is, since it's standardization in 1983 it completely revolutionized electronic music. By the Way, the designers of the Prophet 8 (Dave Smith & Sequential Circuits) had a lot of input into the MIDI protocol, in fact, if you had to say one company/person came up with the basics of MIDI it was Sequential Circuits. They also came up with the first polyphonic, fully programmable analog synth. I had a very basic MIDI studio at the end of 1984.

Sound, notes and midi...

Looking at the archives none of these type of questions ever seem to be answered so if you have any ideas please reply...
Part of my program requires notes to be played as sound from data I give it (note name and length) not from mid files.
Is there a simple way to do this? Currently I am opening and closing a synthesiser midi channel for each note I play but even with just 13 notes it is slow and the timing is very unreliable. How can I improve this?

yes here is a snippet of my code...
MidiChannel[]     channels = synth.getChannels();
channels[0].noteOn(nNoteNumber, nVelocity);
          *     Wait for the specified amount of time
          *     (the duration of the note).
try
          Thread.sleep(nDuration);
          catch (InterruptedException e)
          *     Turn the note off.
     channels[0].noteOff(nNoteNumber);

Can't join CD tracks - no, not the usual problem

Help,
This is NOT the problem where the tracks are out of order so the Join CD Tracks is grayed out. It's a different problem.
I load audiobook CDs to play on my iPod - have been doing it for years.
I join the tracks so that each CD is only one entry in iTunes.
As of the last few days, when I try to join CD tracks, it says it's joining hundreds of tracks, and when I drag the joined tracks to my itunes folder it just chimes and refuses to copy.
In the past, the little drag icon would list the number of joined tracks (like 12), now it shows a number like 283. And it won't copy. I did a software update recently. Has something changed to this feature?
OSX 10.6.6
iTunes 10.2.1 (1)

Rebooted all macs to run off iTunes 9, a much better version of iTunes, and wouldn't you know, join tracks works just fine. Reinstalled 10.2 onto one of the computers and still get same software problem of joined tracks not importing. If you join the tracks in the middle of an album, and then import the entire album, only the tracks that fall after the joined tracks import and nothing else.
I suggest having a working version of iTunes like 9 on your computer for the joined tracks feature. I only use 10.2 now for uploading to ipad since apple is forcing paying customers to use that version for the ipad and other players because older more stable versions of itunes don't work with the new hardware. Choice is something that is disappearing with apple products. It's a shame.

Safari logs me out of logged in web pages - not the same problem as other similar post - please read.

Before you crucify me please read the problem I've outlined below, because it's not the same issue other people are having. I did research the forums for the particular issue I'm having and it's not the same as what's already been posted. Please let me explain.
Here is my machine info.
iMac running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 on 2.5 GHZ Intel core.
Safari Version 5.1.7
I run two instances of Safari. I will have 1 safari browser window open on the left side of my screen with 7 tabs all on pages that require login. I run a second instance of Safari on the right side of my screen with only one tab open logged into 1 web page.
Here's what happens. Ocassionaly when switching the focus from one browser to the other all of my logged in web pages will refresh and I'll be logged out of all my logged in web pages, on both open browsers. There's never a certain amount of time that this happens, I've had it happen 3-4 hours into my work day and I've had it happen 10 minutes into my work day. I've also had this occure when I'm putting the focus from one browser window to the other and then I go to resize the width of the window I just put the focus on.
I'm thinking that there must be some setting or short cut "gesture" built into Safari that I'm triggering to make this happen, however I have looked at all the settings and can't seem to find anything that would cause this.
Any help or advice is apprecaited.

BDAqua - I have two Safari windows open - I guess in my semi technical mind that equated to two instances. But your probably right, just one instance of app with two windows open.
About two minutes after I posted my question, I was doing some work in one of my tabbed web pages, as I pressed the submit button to update the record on that page and as the page was refreshing I clicked my mouse on the second open Safari window to put the focus on that window, as soon as I put the focus on the second open browser I got logged out of all my logged in tabs in both windows.
The time it happened was sometime between 14:30 and 14:35
I'm looking at the Sytem Log. IN the filter I typed Safari and nothing came up from today in the log.
Just looking at "All Messages" between the hours of 1430 and 1435 their are no messages about safari, just the following.
1/10/13 2:32:22.000 PM kernel: IOSurface: buffer allocation size is zero

Odd color output on roll-over images. (Not the normal problem)

Hi, I realize that iWeb has problems with color out puts: converting them from hex to rgb. However, I didn't think that this affected images. The problem is that my rollover images don't match the color they should. The buttons are a rounded corner so I need the background image there to make it a JPEG. Whenever I bring in the images through iWeb they match perfectly, even when published. These images, that are brought into the site via rollover code match within iWeb but not when published. Is this the same problem stated in many other posts? Thanks for any help!
-iMaster

Sorry, no URL as this is just the homepage and I don't want to upload it yet, as it would not match the rest of the site (this is a redesign) but I can give you an image: http://twitpic.com/atpxm The one on the left was imported through iWeb and blends perfectly, whereas the image on the right is darker.

I have downloaded latest firefox browser and flash player. But when playing video in youtube, I could only hear sound not the video. Upon checking the plugins, the flash player is installed.........pls help me to solve this problem

couldn't do anything to the video toolbar, only black screen

This is the most reported problem this week. Here's an entire thread of solutions that may or may not work:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/776670
Looking through the thread, it seems like several different problems all manifesting themselves in the same way. Some people had to disable hardware acceleration in Flash, others had to delete their profile, and others yet just had to clear their cache... makes no sense.

Sound levels not the same problem

Hi there
I have added music with the Sound Enhancer set to high and some of my music has been added with the Sound Enhancer set in the middle. So what I want to know is how to make all my music the same loudness. When I ride my bike its a mission to ajust the volume every other song.
Many thanks
Slippy

There two places that need changing for this.
1. Your ipod - scroll through the settings and there should be one for 'sound check' which is defaulted to off, by turning this on it will replay everything at one volume.
2. In itunes - edit/preferences on the play back tab again click sound check and this will ensure your PC plays at volume too.

No sound, not the MIDI problem
