Play back audio at slower speed

Hi everyone,
I can play back video clips at slower than normal speed, but I can't find the equivalent method for slowing down audio tracks. For example, how do I play back an audio track at 1/3 of normal speed?
Cheers!

Soundtrack.

Can osmf player play audio at slow speed

I'm trying to load an audio file and play it at a slow speed. Is this something an osmf player can do?

Hi,
This is not supported in OSMF. Sorry

Logic wont play back audio regions under certain tracks.

Hello! I am rearranging my audio files (throwing them all to my secondary hard drive, where I record to ). I did this, and now certain audio files to do not play back in my logic projects, but there is no warning that says the file cannot be found--which is what I am used to happening. At that point I would either hit the Search button, or the Manually Find button. Instead, the region appears as per usual, just with nothing playing back. I know I could import the audio back into my projects manually--which would be fine for those that start at a specific, clean-cut time, but what about all those spliced and diced regions that are cut up and laid out all over the place!?
I discovered new details to the weirdness . . .
It seems, in the few projects that I relocated audio, that the affected regions cannot be played back unless I move them to another audio track. What??? For example, the vocal track in one song, which is all set up with its plugins and such as Audio Track 2, will produce no sound unless I drag it to another audio track, say Audio Track 3 or 4. It is bonkers!! What the heck is that about?
This is what happened in all of the projects affected by my source audio rearrangement. Sure, I could easily just copy my channel strip settings to a new track, relocate my audio region to it, and hope all goes well thereforth, but I would much rather get to the root of this oddity so it doesn't somehow buck me later.
What do you think it could be?
Oh yea, in one of the projects, all the other audio tracks seem to play back fine, except for the recorded bass track. Okay, so just to check, I drag the bass audio to another track--yep, it does play back. But I realized that the track that held the bass region (Track 4) is actually playing back the vocals (which are also playing back normally in their intended track). I initially didn't notice the extra vocals underneath my normal vocals track, with their low-key bass plug-in settings. Funny thing is, there isn't even a region on Track 4 any more! How is it playing anything back at all?? Not that it makes any more sense that it would be playing back vocals with a bass region.
Also, the fact that Logic Pro keeps quitting unexpectedly does not inspire much confidence. This has just been lately, and I've only been playing with these projects lately, trying to figure this out.
Is my Logic haunted? =(
I welcome any and all objective suggestions! I am feeling just the slightest bit overwhelmed by this odd behavior.
Thanks!
(i checked, but did not see that the tracks were muted in anyway, including the region itself)

I figured something out that might tell someone what I did to screw things up!
I think I did something to mess up the environment or something. I know this much now: When I created a new project, I created 6 new audio tracks. I noticed that a piece of previously recorded audio that I imported into the project would only play back on ever other track! I than noticed that on the every other track (that would not play back the audio when it was dragged to it), there was neither a single circle (indicating mono for the track) or the two overlapping circles (indicating stereo for the track) beneath the channel's level meter.
There must be some significance to this that I do not quite understand!
I then went back and launched several of my problematic projects to see if the tracks that would not play back audio also did not display either the mono or stereo circles on their respective channel strips. They did not! What kind of global setting did I change that would cause this?
There was one project that had one track that bared neither mono or stereo an played back its audio (Although, in this same project, there was another track that bared neither symbol that was not playing back its audio). Anyway, I noticed something that was weird to me, but will likely tell someone what the heck I must have inadvertently done to cause all of this:
When I change one audio track (that bares the mono symbol) into stereo, the next audio track (that didn't display either symbol) seems like it is combined with the previous track's output!
Very strange! Did I somehow set some global preference to split up my audio tracks across each not audio track?? If so, could someone please explain to me what and I did that? Thanks!

Playing back audio - can I slow it down and also lower the pitch?

For old-time's sake, I have recently recorded a bunch of old cassettes of me and my mates larking about 20 years ago. The idea is to transfer them to digital format.
However, the cassette recorder we used ran slightly slow, and so when the tapes are played they play back slightly fast with everything at slightly too high a pitch.
I recorded each side of each cassette on a pair of mono tracks in Logic (as there is a noticeable difference in the volume level on the left & right tracks, which I want to correct).
When bouncing to a stereo file, I want the project to play back slightly slow, so it corrects both the speed and pitch issues of the original recordings. The question is - how do I do this? Reducing the tempo setting makes no difference!
I've just installed Logic 9 and Flex Mode looks very useful for reducing the speed of audio files... but it doesn't appear to also lower the pitch.
Can anybody help, please?

Aha! Sussed it!
Click 'Follow Tempo' in the inspector on each track. This activates the Transposition function in the inspector. I've reduced the tempo by 20bpm and set Transposition to -2 on each track.
Hey presto, no longer do me and my mates sound like we had been drinking way too much caffeine two decades ago!

HELP: iDVD plays back audio all distorted and slow

I just created a movie in iMovieHD. It looks and sounds great in iMovieHD. I then chose the iDVD button to export my movie to iDVD. After it rendered in iDVD and I play it back, the pictures looks beautiful but the audio is all distorted and is playing back at least 5 times too slow compared to the original audio. My audio source in iMovieHD was an AIFF file from iTunes. My iMovie is still photos from iPhoto set to the music from iTunes.

Hi David:
Extracting the audio tracks in imovie first will often fix the problem.

DVD Studio Pro not playing back audio of asset converted from FCP via compressor.

I exported project via compressor:
File Extension: m2v
Estimated file size: 4.34 GB
Video Encoder
    Format: M2V
    Width: 720
    Height: 480
    Pixel aspect ratio: NTSC CCIR 601/DV
    Crop: None
    Frame rate: 29.97
    Frame Controls: Off
    Aspect ratio: 4:3
    Field dominance: Bottom first

    2 Pass VBR enabled
        Maximum data rate: 7.5 (Mbps)
    High quality
    Best motion estimation
    Closed GOP Size: 15, Structure: IBBP
    DVD Studio Pro meta-data enabled
This took about 7.5 hours. I exported the audio separately as AC3. Finder plays it sound & pictures. Quicktime plays the video. DVD Studio Pro, when I drag the assets (video, audio) to the timeline editor, so I can play it in the viewer, it plays the audio the video is black. No setting in view or any other setting will get it to play the video. This project is due to ship today and I don't want to re import it if I don't have to.
I exported this project before the MPEG2 export as a Qicktime with .mov suffix. This plays alright, but there is artifacting around motion. I think this is due to low VBR, but don't know. Can ayone help?

If I may chime in...
I'm a little confused on the "what plays what" part, but all that really matters is what DVDSP sees/plays.
I've worked on a system like yours and what I'd recommend is:
1. NEVER export via Compressor. It's just ungodly slow on anything less than a Quad. Export a self contained QuickTime Movie using the first export option and use that to feed Compressor.
2. Segment your output into manageable clips (I like 15-20 minutes) both to perfect the encoding and so you aren't re-encoding the whole show if something goes sour. It will all play fine as long as it's all in the same DVDSP timeline.
From what you describe, I'm thinking you're on an early version of Compressor that had A-Pack as the AC-3 encoder. This is no biggie, I mention it mostly to verify. Early Compressor was good too.
Make maybe a 5 minute piece to tune up. Just export as normal, then into Compressor. Your encoding values seem about right. Get the AV pair into DVDSP and it should play. I'm guessing that part of your problem is that the processor is fighting to handle the project size. Build the test clip project and look at it in DVD Player to view what would have been burned. If all looks OK, go for it. If not, bring back the results for discussion. This should be a snap, it's just a really big project. Keep your head up, I had a friend do a 225-minute disk on his G5...

Logic 8 won't play back audio recorded at 48 kHz

So I was recording a small project in Logic 8 on Snow Leopard (10.6.8) the other day when I noticed that audio recorded at 48 kHz wasn't playing back at all. The wave form appeared in the audio region after recording, but the meters on OUT 1-2 weren't lighting up at all. When I switched the project mode to 44.1 kHz, the audio played back fine (except it sounded pitched down and slow). I was in a hurry so I just recorded the whole project at 44.1 kHz instead, even though it should have been 48 kHz.
Any ideas on what could be causing this?

A lot of people have reported this, and it happens to me pretty frequently. Gotta be a known bug, but of course since Apple is always mum about this stuff with absolutely no communication to its customers, we won't know until the next version of Logic is released.

Mic on earphone plays back audio from laptop. How to fix?

I've tried multiple earphones with mic and they all playback sounds playing from the laptop. I've even tried lowering the sound playing to the side of the earphone that has the mic all the way down and the audio still plays back into the mic. Is there a way to fix this? Seems to be an issue with the jack.

Update: I tried the "Toshiba Recovery Wizard" after everything else either fizzled out or hung up. After going all the way thru the recovery process (up to 100%), I finally got an error message.....it didn't work. And now, when I fire up the computer, I don't even get to that menu with the recovery options....the only thing I can boot into is the screens with the various ways to run your OS (in "safe mode", "safe mode with networking", etc).
I'm not a techie, but I'm guessing at this point, the part of my hard drive that got damaged in the fall was, at the very least, the partition with the recovery data. Couple that with the fact that this cheapo Toshiba laptop didn't even come with recovery disk (or ANY kind of disk, even basic installation software!), I'm screwed: I don't see any way to get a workable computer now without some kind of disk to boot from. So NOW my concern is more about spending the $$ for a new OS and THEN finding out the hard drive has other problems too...is broken in some other way to boot.
How to check this? As I said, I did run "chkdsk" back when I could get into the recovery menu and run the fix-it programs. It didn't note any problems. Thinking of taking this opportunity to upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista (which I never liked), but I have to know that the computer is otherwise ok....how to be sure? Help!!

[SOLVED] Rip or play back audio/video DVD

Recently I bought a DVD that contains audio content as well as video content. On the packaging it says that it is in the "DVD Audio/Video" format.
Today I wanted to rip or at least play back this DVD on my computer. When inserting a "normal" video DVD into the disk drive, the DE which I am using (Gnome 3.12) displays a notification that offers the possibility to start playback of the inserted DVD. No such notification was displayed for the DVD in question.
Since anyway my original intention was to rip the DVD to my hard drive, this didn't bother me much and I started looking for a program for ripping DVDs. This research resulted in me installing dvd::rip.
Unfortunately, upon trying to the read the table of contents of the DVD, dvd::rip displays the below error message:
Job 'Determine number of titles' failed with error message:
Command exits with failure code:
Command: execflow tcprobe -H 10 -i \/dev\/sr0 && echo EXECFLOW_OK
Output: libdvdread: Could not open /dev/sr0 with libdvdcss.
libdvdread: Can't open /dev/sr0 for reading
[[31;1mtcprobe[0m][31;1m critical[0m: unrecognized filetype for '/dev/sr0'
While googling for problems with DVD playback in Arch, I came across some generic solutions that didn't solve the problem, namely adding my user to the audio, video, and optical groups as well as installing packages for handling DVDs (libdvdread, libdvdcss, libdvdnav).
Is there someone who has managed to rip or play back DVDs in the "DVD Audio/Video" format?

Can you mount the disk and see its file system? If it is a DVD, you should be able to do this, regardless of and CSS.
Is there any chance this a VCD (Video CD)?

Garage Band Not Playing Back Audio

Hi folks,
I've had an issue with GarageBand pop up. I've checked around, but have found no solution to this.
I've been working for the last two days on a song, opening and closing the app a fair bit depending on what's going on. About an hour ago, I decided to hit the option to play the track through the finder to save me opening if I want to listen over it.
After doing that and opening the app again since, audio is only playing back from two of the tracks. The sound level bars are moving in the rest, but nothing else is happening. I've checked the sound levels and all, but nothing is changing.
Has anyone else encountered this? Please tell me it's recoverable!
Many thanks.

You, my friend, are a savior. Thank you!
Not sure why that would have caused the issue as I've never hit that before, but hey, doesn't matter now.
Thanks!

Imovie '08 is not playing back audio incorporated into video

Okay. I am doing a Let's Play and using iMovie to edit my game footage and commentary together. However, I recently discovered that my game footage wasn't playing back within iMovie (the finished product exported and the base footage were just fine) And, in my most recent episode editing session, I found it would no longer display the movie thumbnails except for whatever one I had my mouse over... some help would be nice....

Okay, I just checked, and apparently, the game audio isn't in the finished product, either.
wait a moment... I just retried putting the movies together and it had audio again... weird.

Podcasts playing back at 2x normal speed

Since updating my 4G nano with the latest Updater version 5.1, podcasts play at twice their normal speed (sounding like the old time Chipmunks). To fix the problem (each time after powering the nano up), I need to jump to any other podcast during playback. When I do suddenly the playback goes to normal speed. Then I can go back to the podcast of interest and it will also play at normal speed.
Anyone else had this experience with Updater 5.1?

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
A quick review of this site will reveal thousands with similar situations as yours. But, you only cited 3 of the 4 required octets of any OS level, so it's rather impossible to know anything for sure based on your information. BB has released at least 3 more updates in the last few weeks, but the carriers remain in control of release to their customers, and some are slower than others to do so (but BB cannot control them). Further, there have been many reports of issues with the "official" methods of installing these updates.
If you wish to jump ahead, you can use an AutoLoader to cleanly reload your current OS, load the even more current version, or fall back to whatever version you desire. The choice is yours.
Good luck and let us know!
