Playback doesn't play Tied notes (Software Tracks)

On a software track (Orchestral Strings and Fiji Afterglow), the playback will not play tied notes (notes which are tied - sustained). I don't know why this is, if it's a Garage Band thing or a sound card thing? Anyway it's really annoying because I can't a)loop sustained tracks, nor b)even use them. Is there a way around this or am I missing something?

I guess giving a little bit more basic information on how exactly I'm doing this would help. Sorry, that was a quick in frustration question I put up without full information. Here's exactly what I'm doing:
I'll use the musical typing interface to play the notes in the software instrument track titled "Orchestral Strings" (although I've also had this issue with other tracks). Initially I attempted to create a loop from a 4-bar tied chord, which would be great if that would work - but I can at least understand why it's doesn't (at the end of each loop it cuts off). Then I attempted to just hold the note for the duration of measures that I'd like to have the note play for, assuming this would work. The issue is it doesn't appear to - I've attempted both manually holding the chord out and using the sustain button, and both.
Within the loop, it shows all notes held for the duration, but in the advanced notation beneath the tracks, it is noted as a bunch of 4-bar (or so) tied structures, as opposed to whole notes tied for the duration of the loop.
Any thoughts appreciated.

  • My fullscreen playback doesn't play any sound

    I just go the latest iTunes update (as of 19th of September, 2013) and since then I haven't been able to play any of my movies, tv shows or podcasts with sound! Why is this? Please help ASAP!

    OK - I had this issue with iTune movies downloaded from store, newly with iTunes 11.1, affecting all movies, even those that were once fine.  The sound plays fine (Apple cinema display & sound) in large window mode but disappears on fullscreen (repeatably, coming back if fullscreen is exited).
    A fix that works for me is to switch back and forth between playing on this (my) machine and another local authorised machine using Airplay - of course you can do this without interrupting playback and without exiting fullscreen using the button on the control bar.  On re-selecting 'computer' after allowing the switch to complete the sound comes though fine, and this seems more-or-less stable once done*.  I do not know if the other machine works, too (it is a server with no normally-on display).
    FTR things that do NOT work include permnissions repair, reboot, re-alunch iTunes etc.
    *PS - it works but is not stable; you can switch in and out of fullscreen without losing sound but if you switch movies (or come back to a movie previously watched) you have to go round the loop again.  We need 11.2 please Apple!

  • Ipod touch 5 doesn't play music not purchased

    I tried everything.  I restore my iPod to not just on back up, but I even restored it to manufacturer/brand new. I tried manually dragging my music, and I tried syncing it.  I thought it was space but this is a 32 GB ipod touch, and I've had doubled the music before than I'm trying now, and it's still not working.  I'm so fustrated with this.  And of course it happens just yesterday, after the last update.  I dreally don't know what's wrong.  Everything else is fine.

    What exactly happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?         
    What is the format of the songs and where were the songs obtained?
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • ITunes doesn't play the next song, it just stops after one track.

    I have iTunes 11.0.1. When I play a song in my playlist, I expect the next song to start as the first one ends, but iTunes stops and doesn't play the next song. I'm missing some sort of setting but what?
    It's not a smart playlist, just a playlist of favorite music I've built up over the years.
    Mountain Lion.

    Have the tracks become unchecked? iTunes will skip unchecked tracks, so if they're all unchecked, iTunes will play one and then stop. If this is indeed the case, re-checkmark the tracks - Command-click will select or unselect them all - and you should then have continuous playback.
    Hope this helps.

  • Music album cover images and track titles show on iPhone 4s but music doesn't play - any ideas?

    I am a Young at Heart Senior, new to iPhone 4s, have an old creaking pc with Windows XP Home.....but plan to enter the real world any day soon by buying a new Mac!
    Here is my problem, I purchased an album on iTunes and mistakenly started to sync it to my phone, (although I don't have iCloud loaded on my pc). I stopped it mid download and later noticed that the total track numbers were showing as a red number above the "more" button as if they were waiting to complete the download. It stayed there while I thought about it for a few days, but when I click the Album button all the tracks are listed.
    Now to the funny part.....when I click on a track or indeed any of them, it doesn't play a sound...but the progress bar above moves as if "now playing".
    So, I thought.... no problem, I would connect the phone up to iTunes and delete the tracks....but when I do so, this album and none of it's track titles show in my music list for the phone......weird.
    So, I have a large album with titles only on my phone, no music behind the titles (which, incidentally, is rubbish anyway) and I can't get rid of it off my phone, any of you young whizzy iPhoners have any ideas how to clear it off???
    I did think I might just Restore my phone, but wondered whether downloading all my stuff from iCloud would still include the dreaded  "Now That's What I Call Christmas" album, which I only purchased in late 2011 to play at a seniors Xmas party...........you live and learn!
    You will guess from my ramblings that I am not at all techy, but consider myself willing to learn and apart from this hiccup........I luuuurve my iPhone!

    If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
    This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
    If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

  • Doesn't play songs, "itunes is not configured for use with mac-formatted"??

    Hi, new ipod shuffle. Seems to charge fine, all indicator lights function as expected. Everything looks fine in itunes. But it doesn't play songs. I have the most recent versions of itunes and the ipod software. Re-set, updated, and restored, nothing works. Even restored using the restore utility. Re-started computer. Checked for volume control. Won't play songs. Tried different file types. Songs play fine from itunes library and from the device's library within itunes. Tried different headphones. Hooked it up to computer speakers. Turning volume all the way up on device and speakers, heard some very faint rhythmic static, so my guess is the jack socket (or whatever you call it) is just messed up, but it seems weird that it can transfer power and data to the device but doesn't work for sound...
    The only other issues that have come up is that the drive disappears in explorer once it syncs with itunes. Other people who've noticed this seem to have completely different problems so I don't think it's related.
    Also, I have MacDrive on my computer. And when it starts up with the ipod plugged in, MacDrive offers the message "Itunes is not configured for use with Mac-formatted ipods." It offers to automatically reconfigure itunes so it can read mac-formatted ipods. Since I've restored the device, I don't see why formatting should be an issue so I say "no."
    Should I try letting macdrive do its format thing? Should I try formatting the ipod disk on the My Computer menu? Or should I just email apple and tell them the jack's busted?
    Thanks for any thoughts!

    Well, I have had my iPod for about 3 years, it is a 4th generation non-video 40 GB. One day it just stopped working, and now it does not play any songs. when I turn it on it makes this odd whirring sounds that computers make when they try really hard to do something. I cannot charge it, and it is not recognized by iTunes. Also when I turn it on, I get the apple.com/ipod/support (or whatever it is) screen. Needless to say, my warranty is expired, and so I cannot do anything for it except get a new battery, or buy a new one. Is there any way to fix this problem, or anyone out there who is experiencing the same thing?
    I'm having the exact same problem with my wife's iPod. However it will play about 3 seconds of a song and go onto the next song.
    If there is anyone out there that can help please do!

  • Why do my songs and audio books keep getting erased when I add a new book?  Now some books will not play and the iPod does not keep track of where I was when I pause a book, leave for music and then go back!

    About a month ago I added some new audio books to my iPod Classic and then after disconnecting, I discovered EVERYTHING had been erased. 
    I had to restore through my iTunes but then I could not load my music back on.
    I uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes and completely reformated the iPod drive.
    I successfully got my music and books back on but then added a new book two days ago only to discover everything got erased AGAIN!!!
    Of course, my 1 Year Warranty was up about a week before the first incident.....
    I formatted the iPod again, uninstalled / reinstalled iTunes (it was freezing during sync) and downloaded all my music and books again.
    Now I have several books that will not play (they play on iTunes and they played on the iPod before all these events) and the iPod does not keep track of where I was in a book when I have to stop and go to something else.
    Does anyone know what is going on with this thing???  I have a 5th Gen Video and in all the years I've had it, I've NEVER had problems like this! 
    Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to get my iPod Classic up and running properly again?
    Thanks.

    When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised  filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
    The timeout failure could be due to
    Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
    Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
    Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
    Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
    Have a nice day!

  • Ipod will not display track and artist name when i play a song

    ipod will not display track and artist name when i play a song... i cant see the the volume display to adjust it eiether. Everyting shows up in the menus just not on the now playing screen.... any suggestions?

    Try restoring your iPod. Just be aware that restoring will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions and it should connect to iTunes and give you a prompt to automatically update your library onto the fresh installation. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists choose no and it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

  • Audio doesn't play back through DAE audio tracks

    I work on Digidesign HD hardware and Logic as a front end and a problem has crept in over the last week or so.
    I will be working on a song and suddenly with no warning Logic freezes for about 30sec or so. After this all audio files playing back on DAE tracks will not playback or white noise plays back from those track. The DTDM tracks and instruments tracks work fine. This happens wether i have a couple of tracks on the go or loads. It's like the DAE audio playback side crashes but all other things still play back through the DAE so it half works.
    PLEASE PLEASE help as i have to reboot Logic everytime and 10-20 mins later it happens all over again.
    Thanx

    Just some quick thoughts....I'm not a "techie", but have had my share of softwaretrouble!!
    It could be that Logic is set to global 16bit - and you try to play back 24bit files. Had kind of same problem a year ago, but don't remember if it was Logic OR ProTools that gave this result (played for a while...then a burst of white noise). But the crash...no. This is probably caused by other components. It's usually a good thing to trash the Logic preference file and restart. Then check preferences>audio>drivers>DAE that the global bitrate is set as desired (according to your already recorded files). The DAE preferences don't contain that much information, but could be helpful to trash too. Just remember to set the playback buffersize to a reasonable amount for your setup.
    Hope this will help.

  • In Logic Pro or Pro X Meta Events don't work correctly; for example inserting Stop Playback number 52 in a specific position the playhead stops wrongly several ticks before. Then the button play does not start.

    Curious if what your describing is similar to issue 4 which starts around 9:15 in video...
    https://youtu.be/q93jdOhi4Oc
    If so this started for me, or at least I noticed it for the first time in LPX 10.1.1. What version of logic are you running?
    I've recently found that this issue also affects note timing on instrument tracks that use the "External Instrument" plugin.

  • My video playback out...every video shakes/flashes/doesn't play right. What's wrong? I thought the hard drive was too full, but I just deleted 125gigs, rebooted and it still flashes and doesn't play videos. This is true for youtube, ads, foxnews videos...

    Update: The iBook can play any 480p video and higher if I encode them with DivX and in AVI format. But of course this is not compatible with my iPhone 4. At least I can shrink my library now and get away from the full MPEG-2s. I don't get why I can't use Apple's h264 though. There has to be a setting I am missing. The sample Apple h264 videos from the days of Tiger worked flawlessly on my iBook when it was new so the CPU must be capable of decoding it. I really can't understand this.
    Also, since I made my videos in English for my family, I had to create soft subtitles for my wife's Chinese family, and I can't get players like QT with perian or MPlayerX to sync them properly to an AVI encoded with DivX, they only sync well with the iPhone 4 m4v/mp4 formatted files I made. This is a real pickle.
    So now I may need three or four copies of each video, LOL. I need to hardcode the subtitles if I want to use AVI to playback on older machines, and keep the mp4 file for the iDevices too, while keeping higher quality h264 videos for my American relatives...
    If h264 is compatible with my iBook, what is the proper encoding settings? Must I dramatically lower the settings or frame rate? I can settle on 2 copies of each video that way. One iBook/G4/eMac compatible video that syncs correctly with my srt soft subs, and another version that works well with my iPhone 4 and iPad.
    All in all, I will end up with more than 3 or 4 version of each video. On my late G5 dual core I have the full 720-1080p uncompressed master files. On my i5 iMac I have the h264 compressed versions for distribution, and lower versions for my iDevices. Now I need to keep either full MPEG-2 files for the iBook to play, or convert to older formats like DivX AVI for our family's legacy machines. I am running out of hard disk space quick now, LOL.
    Is there an easier way?
