Quicktime Freezes When Recording Audio

Quicktime froze one time when trying to record audio, so I restarted my Mac. It still froze, so I tried repairing by using the uninstall program.
It still froze, so I uninstalled it and re-downloaded it. It's still freezing. I'm starting to think it's something in my system files but I don't really know.
The program freezes when I click the record button.
I really need help because it's the only recording program that doesn't slightly slow down my audio, so I really need it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Please, I really need help.

High pitch noise when recording audio using internal mic

The issue I am having is with the internal mic. When recording audio using quicktime or garageband.It is a high pitch noise that stays whether i am speaking or not. The fix i found was to lower the input volume of the mic in system preferences. However, this causes my voice to be recorded so low that audio is barely usable unless volume is all the way up. Looking around the web I found this gem:
http://www.usingmac.com/2009/6/18/recording-speech-with-garageband-2009
This help me get rid of the high pitch noise for Garageband. The noise still there for Quicktime. Any ideas on how I can keep the same mic input volume with out having to listen to the high pitch noise?
Any help is appreciated.

Did you do the usual stuff, such as reset PRAM?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
There are some sound settings in PRAM, although I think it's only for sound output.
Also, as a test, I would create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
Log out and log in to the new account (do not use Fast User Switching). In the new account, try recording something using QuickTime, and note if this problem recurs. If it does not, you have eliminated a few possible causes, such as a problem with the overall system installation or a hardware issue, and isolated the problem to something in your normal user account.

When record audio I can`t see the graphical overview of the waveform.

Logic: When recording audio, a loud electronic buzz happens

I am using Logic 9 on an iMac.
I use Logic to transfer records and create MP3s.
The record player is connected to my stereo receiver, the receiver to the input of an MAudio FW 410, the MAudio FW 410 to my external hard drive, and my hard drive to my computer (I connected the FW 410 to the hard drive because the FW410 does not have firewire 800, so I connect the FW410 to the hard drive then use the hard drive's FW 800 to connect to the computer)
This setup has always worked fine until recently.
When I transfer my records, Logic stops recording after a few minutes in, and a loud buzz is generated, and I can see the wave form of the buzz where I should be seeing the input of the audio from the record.
I then disconnected the record player to see what would happen and to eliminate the possibility that the record player was the cause of the problem. With the record player disconnected, I still got the buzz simply by arming the record button on the Logic track.
Then I tried transferring the record into GarageBand. The same buzz happened simply by arming the record button in GarageBand.
There seems to be something going on with my computer in regards to inputting sound. I'm not sure if it's a setting in Logic/GarageBand, or if there is some larger computer issues causing the buzz.
Any ideas?

How do I turn off rewire?    When I click in the box, there is no option for "off"   The only options are Playback mode, and Live mode.
Here is the Etrecheck report:

Why does Quicktime freeze when opening .movs?

For the past few months, I have experienced intermittent screen "blackouts"; essentially the screen goes black as if the computer has gone into sleep mode (while still working in a given program) but there is nothing I can do but a hard shutdown to exit this state. Recently, both Quicktime and VLC have stopped working properly; I've discovered that Quicktime will open .AVI files, but freezes when opening .mov files. VLC will open neither. Both programs work fine when working with audio files. I have updated my mac's graphic drivers (to the best of my knowledge) and have worked around various preferences (open GL video output in VLC for instance) to no avail. My only remaining theory is a corrupt .mov codec file, or a compounding issue stemming from the initial screen blackouts (which I've discovered could be an actual hardware problem with mac pros sold around 2010..), but I feel it's time to outsource for some new solutions. I'm still running Snow Leopard 10.6.8; 2.66 GHz Intel core i7; 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3; MacBook Pro from 2010. Any help with this issue is greatly appreciated, as I've researched for hours and have yet to find a solution or even a potential cause for these issues.

Here is the output from the Etrecheck program. It should be noted that I was only able to run this in Safe Mode. I've bolded the lines which were highlighted in red by the program.

Mouse pointer disappearing when recording audio?

I'm having trouble recording audio in presenter -- when I get started recording, after the first slide the mouse pointer seems to disappear onscreen. I can't do anything except clicking escape which brings up the save window and I can use my keyboard to navigate and click save. Then the mouse reappears.
Has this happened to anyone else? Any solutions?

Yes. This has happened to me, consistently. I am using Windows 8.1, Office 2013 (64-bit).
I have Adobe Presenter 7 and 8. I purchased 10 (as an upgrade), but it wouldn't install because the "upgrade" is ONLY available if you're upgrading from Presenter version 9 (something they don't tell you before you buy). This is a separate issue--I've asked for a refund and in the meantime, I'm using the trial version of 10.
As I record, I notice the arrow from the mouse-pointer disappears and will not re-appear. I must hit "escape" and save the work that way. I have tried re-booting, and disabling add-ins. Nothing seems to work.
I'm afraid we have another "glitch" in an Adobe Product. What else is new?

1/8 of a beat off??? when recording audio and click??? HELP

Okay so I upgraded to Logic Studio and I'm having this problem that basically has crushed my work flow... Here is the problem:
When I record new audio from my FirePod in to Logic Studio the recorded audio is approx. and 1/8 of a beat off??? It is really annoying me... Any ideas of what the problem could be? Please help if you can, thanks.
Bill K.

Thanks for the tips... but unfortunately all my settings seem to be in order??? Anything else I could try? I do record to an external 7200rpm firewire 800 drive and I have the FirePod using firewire 400... this set-up worked great with Logic 7.2???
Please help if you can

When recording audio, the soundwaves dont show in the audio region.

I think i must of changed settings accidentally or somewhat, because prior to this, there was no problem. However, now when i record i cant see soundwaves (im not sure what they're called) in the audio region. please help, its really giving me problems cos i really wna record audio.

Try the waveform zoom slider in the lower right hand of the arrange.
If that's not it then check your recording delay in preferences>audio, supposedly if it is set too high what you describe happens.

CS4 freezes when editing audio.

Hello All,
I have a client that has a workstation that freezes when she edits audio in CS4. I have seen it happen and what it does is it keeps playing the audio but Adobe CS4 freezes until the audio is done playing or when she kills CS4. I have reinstalled Adobe CS4, talked to Adobe technical support, reloaded her workstation with Vista 64 bit, put in another hard drive for the page file, and ran through every troubleshooting document I could find on the forums and Adobes website. Her workstation is a Core2Quad 2.4GHz and 4GB of ram with Vista 64 bit.
This is an on-going issue that needs to be solved ASAP and any help would be appreciated from other users. I do not want to resort to calling Adobe technical support as I was not satisfied with their knowledge of their product.
Thank you,
Brian
Edit: Harm Millaard chime in if you have any suggestions. You seem to be very helpful on these forums. Also, you have a very impressive computer setup and props to you for putting it together.

While I feel that the Assets, or the Project, are probably the culprits here, you might want to look over this ARTICLE on "tuning up" one's NLE computer. Might be something useful in it - if not now, then for later.
Good luck,
Hunt

Delay when recording audio compared to my midi click

Im using my Powerbook G4 1.5G and a Presonus Firebox to record audio with a midi click. I´m using the firebox mixer for monitoring and have switched off logic software monitoring. I have no latency when listening while recording, but when listening to the recorded file, it´s delayed compared to the pre-recorded click loop.
This is what I don´t understand. Why is the recorded file delayed? I have the delaycompensation off. It does not matter if I record on the internal disk or a Lacie external firewire disk.
I have a G4powermac and a motu 2408 mk3 with no problems like this what so ever.
Should i do a midi signal output correction? Is this really necessary on a setup today? Why do I not have the same problem on my G4 Powermac?
I hope somebody have an idea.

there is always some latency when the signal goes thru the computer.
you can do a test and determine how much delay you are seeing and then
go to:
audio/audio hardware & drivers/drivers
and in the recording delay box put in the amount to be compensated for.
With my setup i fugured out that I had 57 ms of delay.

High pitch whine when recording audio & voiceover in iMovie

I have read other posts on similar issues but found no resolution
Issue:
When recording video in iMovie there is sometimes a high-pitched whine which renders the video useless.
The problem was intermittent ... annoying but I wokred around it by re-recording the video enough times to finally get a "clean" copy.
Now I am recording voice-overs for some clips and the awful whine is present in ALL the voice-overs.
I have tried the "trick" of using brighter light. No joy.
I have tried adjusting the microphone settings. No joy.
THis is an older macbook ... so I can't trade-in for a new one on warrantee.
Is Mac's internal microphone defective? I have read enough other people have similar issues to think this.
I am doing educational videos. My initial joy at being able to record a video on my macbook is changing to despair as I have wasted hours of time on tech problems like this.
Anyone have a real fix?
Is the built-in camera and mic just shoddy junk which doesn't work well?
Thank you

Did you do the usual stuff, such as reset PRAM?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
There are some sound settings in PRAM, although I think it's only for sound output.
Also, as a test, I would create a new admin user account in System Preferences Accounts pane
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8235.html
Log out and log in to the new account (do not use Fast User Switching). In the new account, try recording something using QuickTime, and note if this problem recurs. If it does not, you have eliminated a few possible causes, such as a problem with the overall system installation or a hardware issue, and isolated the problem to something in your normal user account.

Logic Pro when recording audio and midi takes, the regions sometimes become confused. The midi tracks line up with audio tracks.

When recording midi and audio tracks simutaneously the midi tracks don't always line up with the software instrument channel. They may show up on the audio track. Sometimes they appear white instead of the normal green. Any suggestions?

Hey there jlholm,
It sounds like you are seeing some unexpected behavior when you are working on your project. I would use troubleshooting steps 6-10 from the following article named:
Logic Pro X: Troubleshooting basics
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5859
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Pitch change when recording audio

Hi all,
I've been recording audio voiceover tracks without issue for 3 years to my Mac Pro:
OSX 10.9.2
2x2.3 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
12 GB 106 MHz DDR3
I record with a condenser mic via my M-Audio FastTrack Pro. Suddenly, all recorded audio now has shifted up in pitch to chipmunk-like frequencies and I cannot figure out why. As far as I can tell, the duration of the clips does not change, only the pitch. No settings have been changed in FCP X or on the FastTrack Pro. Has anyone else had the same problem or know of a fix?
Thanks,
Bill

is there a time limit in GB
Yes, though it shouldn't change the pitch or speed, it would jsut cut off.

IDVD freezes when encoding audio

Whenever the project is done encoding the video, it freezes right when it gets to the encoding audio process.

for over 10 hours
New info...
I would suggest Sharing as QuickTime Full Quality and drag that file into a new iDVD project, then create a disk image and then burn. If you have chapter markers, they will be lost. Import that file into a new iMovie project, add chapter markers, send to (new) iDVD project.
File/Save as Disc Image...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/18.html
This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
-->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

Logic freezing when editing audio region lengths

If I'm editing a track by chopping it into 4 bar pieces and then time stretching each section to get the tempo constant I get a very strange bug. It will do the audio stretching fine, but as soon as I click the menu bar to save, the program freezes and sits on 50% CPU load indefinitely, not allowing me to do anything, meaning I then have to kill the process and lose my work. Anyone know what's going on or experience any similar issues?

Hello Caramby,
These audio files don't have buzzing or clicks in them, if they did the producer on session would have probably changed engineer lol. I'm cutting several files at once grouped in Logic: the DI feed, and the mics around the amp - so in total around 7 mono audio files. The buzzing sounds like a clocking issue rather than artefacts in the track as when I quit LP7 and reopen the audio and play it all the way through its fine - and I would also see any artefacts in the audio as I'm cutting pretty much to the sample, and then moving it to get it in time.
As you read in my original post, I can start editing and it be fine for 30 bars or worse and its 2 bars. When it happens and I press the Control+Shift keys (to fine tune the cut) and get the scrubbing sound of the audio, I get this clocking buzz...
The session was done in at a commercial studio ProTools 8 but our studio works mainly in Logic 7.2.x (with TDM hardware) as we find it a little easier to use (until we can get our hands on a stable version of PT8) So the audio needs to stay in LP7...
Hope this helps!
