Quartz Composer + Xcode - Audio Track to be played

Hi,
I have a quartz composition that plays a video. I am aware that from within quartz composer I am unable to hear the audio track.
I have successfully built a standalone Cocoa Application that plays the video but I am still unable to hear the audio track.
My question is how do i get the audio track to play? Is the stand alone Cocoa App the best way to go and if so how do I enable audio using this method.
Note: I need to use quartz composer to play the video as quartz is distorting the video onto a sphere.
Any helpers or pointers to the right direction to follow would be much appreciated.

Hi Isty
I think you need to set on the asynchronous mode in the video player patch settings. this should start playing the sound when the loaded clip is running.
good luck

TS2289 Audio Track Won't Play

I imported an audio clip yesterday and it worked fine. Today when I opened my project, there was a yellow warning triangle in the top left above the first frame of my movie and the audio track won't play. What should I do?
And where the heck is the "clock buttom"? I wasn't able to follow Apple Support's suggestions because I can't find it.

I've adjusted my project according to Brian'statement, so I made all audio tracks and video track the same length, but it still doesn't work when I create the flash file. It plays only 1 audio track, whatever language you choose. It plays the audio track that is"active" in the project. This happens only with the flash. If I burn a DVD, then everything works fine... Am I doing something wrong ?

Audio Tracks will not play

Hi there,
I'm using FCP 7 for a project that was originally edited in Final Cut 6 (I had to switch to 7 because BOTH my computers at home have crashed today which use FCP6, now I'm up at my office and have to use 7 - bad day, I know).
I'm trying to do some sound edits and only one audio track is playing (tracks 3 and 4) which are the source audio from the XDCAM Footage (note, these tracks have not been soloed - if that's a word). All my other tracks are not working. When played they produce no sound, but the audio meters to the right are moving. When played in quicktime, iTunes, or Finder they do indeed still work.
Audio Output has been set to Default, though I've also tried Built-in Audio Output. I'm using headphones, but it also does not play through the computer. I've also tried speakers. All other audio on the computer is fine - my volume is up.
Sometimes I can get tracks one and two to play after re-rendering.
RT is set to Unlimited, but it also doesn't work with Safe RT.
Any insight into this issue would be much appreciated!
Thanks

Go to Sequence Settings...then the AUDIO TAB. How many tracks of audio do you have? More than 2 and STEREO?
If you right-click on the track patch area on the timeline, you can assign these tracks to audio ouputs...are they set to anything other than 1 or 2?

Soloed Audio Tracks Won't Play Logic 9.1.8 - Background Still Does

I have a 59 track session in Logic 9.1.8. I've encountered a very odd problem. Multiple audio tracks, even when soloed, will not play; however background audio/other tracks still do. For instance, I've imported a rough vocal track to the mix and when I solo the track, I do not the vocals however I hear kick drum and piano tracks which have been muted. I have double checked every audio track's output, automation, etc…and read several other posts to try and find anyone with a similar issue, to no avail.
Some specs - the majority of the tracks are imported Audio, I have attempted to solve the issue from my MacBook Pro (2013) AND from my studio system. All of the audio and session information are stored on our dropbox server, however other projects still work fine.
Here's where it gets super weird - I even tried started the session over again and just importing in the audio tracks from scratch and there is STILL a problem - I imported 5 of the drum tracks - kick, hat, snare, taiko, and noise percussion. When I solo the taiko track, I hear the audio from the kick track and NO AUDIO from the taiko track, and this is a BRAND NEW SESSION.
Someone PLEASE HELP.

In Logic's preferences/Audio... Is Universal Track Mode enabled? It should be.

Premiere Pro CS2 - Audio track prevents sequence play in program monitor

My sequence consists of 1 Video Track, and 2 Audio Tracks. The "Video 1" and "Audio 1" tracks in the sequence consists of subclips taken from a master clip avi in the Project Panel captured from my video camera, and "Audio 2" in the sequence are MP3's that have been imported into the Project Panel. The sequence plays fine and I'm able to make edits as long as the "Audio 1" track of the captured avi is disabled, and with "Audio 2" enabled. But when the "Audio 1" track is enabled, the sequence will not play in the program monitor, and the entire program freezes up until I disable the "Audio 1" track, or otherwise the program just crashes.
I've Googled my brains out today and yesterday, and I've reviewed all the program settings to the best of my knowledge. I'm trying to produce a video that allows me to mix between the "Audio 1" track and the "Audio 2" track, but can't figure out why the "Audio 1" track prevents the sequence from playing in the Program Monitor.
My soundcard is Creative SB Audigy 2, on Win XP. Can someone please help me understand what I'm overlooking?

Thanks Hunt, this was some solid information, especially the link. I believe I've figured out the problem though... and it was ME!
I didn't want to do it, but sometimes when you have a stubborn problem, it's best to just start all over from the beginning. It turns out that what I thought was a developing masterpiece, was in reality only a HOT MESS, lol.
The problem seemed to be in the way I created the subclips, in regards to whether the video and/or audio was selected, with respect to the in & out points, and with how those subclips were placed into the Timeline. The problem was definitely in those subclips (...it's like the Timeline didn't know what to do with them). Once I went back, checked the source avi and master clips to verify they were intact, and being more careful in how I added the new clips into the Timeline, the audio from the imported video AND from the MP3's are now playing just fine in harmony, and I'm able to edit the sequence in the Program Monitor and with the Audio Mixer (...just as I suspected I was supposed to be able to do).
Funny how when you think there's a major problem, it just turns out that the program was only doing what you were telling it to do, lol. Thanks so much for stepping up and helping out Hunt. It's so frustrating sitting by the computer, hoping someone will come to the rescue. Your response was exactly the gentle guidance I needed. Much appreciated!

Audio tracks no longer play, Help

I have been working with a dozen or so movies. The video is set. Audio clips come from several sessions using voiceover and narrative tracks imported from itunes. Everything had been working well until today when I opened imovie11 to continue editing the sound tracks. Most of the sound tracks do not play. The movie inspector does not show any problems that I can see. Volume is up on all of them, their is no ducking or fade. What could have happened? Can I get the sound to play again and finish the movie?
Thank you,

I should mention that I've installed some codecs in the last few weeks and perhaps this has caused Premier to stop importing audio tracks from AVIs? Is this a known issue?

QT H.264 files with two audio tracks. Quicktime plays 2nd track first. ***?

I've been experimenting with H.264 (AVC) and my DVDs. Using Handbrake, I ripped a DVD to MP4 (H.264) and including the director's commentary as the second track.
When I play the MP4 with Quicktime Player, it plays the director's commentary instead of the main soundtrack. VLC, however, correctly plays the first track (main movie audio track) and it allows me to select the second track via a menu.
To get Quicktime to play the proper track, I have to open "Movie Properties" and manually uncheck the second track. This was never a problem with DivX/XviD encoded files with two audio tracks; Quicktime Player correctly played the first track.
Why does Quicktime ignore the first audio track in MP4s (but not AVIs) and is there a way to correct this?

I do have QT Pro.
H.264 files are usually saved in a MP4 container. That's what Handbrake, ffpegX, and D-Vision create, anyway.
The "Choose Language" option is greyed out (unavailable) when I open this H.264 MP4 in Quicktime. If I try to change the settings in "Movie Properties," it says that I must save it with the .MOV file suffix.
It makes no sense to me that Quicktime Player can correctly identify the main audio soundtrack in a XviD file with an AVI container but not in a H.264 video with a MP4 container which Apple has been touting as the latest, greatest thing. Even VLC, an open source product still in beta, gets it right.

Audio track just stopped playing in FCE - help please

I'm editing video and audio for 4 interview sequences. Three days ago, they all played back just fine from the timeline. Now, the audio tracks on one of the sequences is dead - the waveform is there, the tracks aren't muted, the tracks aren't locked. It's driving me crazy!
Any ideas?

Hi
Did You
• try to reconnect all media ?
• delete FinalCut pref file ?
• repair Permissions & Hard Disk ?
How much free space is there on Your Start-up hard disk ?
Use of other hard disks ?
• FireWire or USB2 or e-SATA
• formatted as Mac OS Extended or UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange (last set do not work)

Whenever I Split and Audio Track, it stops playing

Ok,
Been using imovie 11 for a few weeks. For the first couple weeks, i had no problem splitting an audio track into many pieces to adjust the volume on each piece. Now, regardless of the project, whenever i split an audio track, neither part will play. When i hit command-Z to put it back together, it plays with no problem, then if i try to resplit it, no volume.
I tried a new project, very simple -- 1 video clip, dragged the audo track to a point in the video and as long as i dont split it it works.
I do not have beat-sync on.
any help is appreciated!
thank you

Logic Pro 9 When I open a file which contains a composition of many midi and audio tracks, no sounds play or some tracks are playing the wrong sounds. The project was working perfect when it was saved and closed down.

Does anyone else understand what is happeneing, its like all the tracks and plugins are confused and are playing all the wrong sounds if at all. I've checked the audio setting which seem fine but cant understand where it all goes horribly wrong. Thanks

Is it just a Logic problem; can you for-instance play audio in iTunes trough the Tascam? And what about new projects; you get audio there?

Audio track in movie plays too slow

Only when I play it on my iPod touch after converting it like all of my other movies, the audio lags behind. But when I watch the converted file on my computer, it's up to speed. Any solutions? Both my iTunes and iOS are up to date. I have an iPod Touch 4G 32GB. And I use Xilisoft video converter. Thanks.

If the film has different audio options then you should get a speech bubble icon on the left-hand end playback controls on it : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5562

Problem Quartz Composer & XCode

Hi all:
I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and I installed XCode 3.2, but now I work Quatrz Composer gives many errors and bugs. Prior to Snow Leopard and previous version of XCode QTZ run fine.
All plugins of Kineme are updated.
Can I re-install the previous version of XCode? Or do Restore all of the latest Macintosh bakcup ID? Is it safe to do this?
I've seen that is already version 3.2.1.
thanks and best regards
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.6.2), Intel Core2 Duo, 2,16Gh

Xcode is at version 3.2.1 and all queries about it should be posted to the developers forums under OS X Technologies: http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=162

Audio tracks only playing the reverb portion

I'm having an issue with recorded audio tracks not getting played through the output properly. The only audio that I hear is related to the reverb effect on the track. I have been working on this project for a few days and it just started happening this morning. Everything was working fine before I saved it last night.
Example - I have a vocal track. I see via the track mixer the audio is playing but I barely hear any sound. I just hear reverb. If I turn the reverb plugin off (Im using the default GB reverb), I don't hear any audio. It's as if there is a hidden "send" track for the reverb, and the audio track is getting routed to the send track, but not the master track. That's why I only hear the reverb. Since the GB interface is so simple, I don't see a way to edit this or even check it. It's just my guess based on using other DAWs.
If I create a brand new track and drag the audio from "the bad track" - the audio plays. I have to re-add all the plugins I was using to the new track, which is annoying, but at least I have a workaround. I just don't understand how this happened. I seriously did nothing in between the time it worked and it stopped. Last night, everything was good. I hit save and closed. Then this morning I woke up to resume my work, and nothing was playing.
If anyone has a solution for this, please let me know. Mixing is already a time consuming process. I don't need to add more time to the process.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Chris
I'm using Garageband 08 - Version 4.1.2

Since this was pointed out, I've left the "ducking" section as viewable. I just noticed that when I dragged a new .aif file into a new track, it triggered all of the other tracks ducking to be enabled - upwards. The yellow arrow. The new track was ducked under, downwards, or blue arrow.
I'll continue to keep an eye on it for any other patterns.
