Record Punch in drops out in Cycle

Hey,
I'm trying to find out how to keep recording when I drop into record during a cycle playback.
I have Allow Quick Punch In enabled, but often when playing round a looped section, I want to be able to drop in to record while I'm playing along. It does Punch In fine, but as soon as the cycle starts again, it drops out of record. I've tried using both the Record and the Toggle Record command.
Is there a setting somewhere I'm missing ?

Nope... Logic has worked that way for years.
One workaround would be to just use Cycle with no AutoPunch and edit the region afterwards

How do I make the internal mic on my macbook air sustain better when recording on garage band? I have been recording an acoustic guitar and listening back, the mic seems to pick it up well naturally for 1 or 2 seconds then dramatically drop out.

I realised that you just need to go to System Preferences > Sound > Input > and uncheck 'Use ambient noise reduction'. mmm answered my own question.

Audio glitches and drops out when using varispeed

So I have a very complex drum part to record and need to drop the tempo about 10% to get it right.
My problem is that I can only get reliable audio when I use varispeed for playback (and even then, there are noticeable "flakey" artifacts); If I try recording anything, I get glitching and after about 3 seconds all audio drops-out.
I tried varying i/o buffer, processing threads and process buffer range, also muting/unmuting the 14 tracks I'm trying to record but nothing seems to solve it.
Anyone have any advice?
Thanks,
Chuck

It's not a mac/tv problem, it is a network problem.
Power cycling is simply unplugging the device from power and plugging it back in. A restart is not sufficient, in most cases, to reset the network connection.

AE Sound dropping out

Has anyone else had problems with AE dropping out in the middle of a song, presumably due to a buffer underrun, and whether there is any way to fix it? (aside from writing your own MP3 player and hooking it up to Airfoil, and/or writing your own network stack..) It very annoying, as I use AE basically to provide backing for singing practice..
Here's my machine confiuration and a song that does it a lot:
Machine: iBook Dual USB 800 MHz, 640 MB RAM
System: 10.4.5, iTunes 6.0.3
Song: "A New Life" (Linda Eder, Jekyll and Hyde)
Encoding: MP3, 228 kbps VBR, 44.1 kHz, encoded with iTuenes 4.0.1
Problem begins at: 3:05 of 4:40
Network setup: computer connected to Netgear DG834 (802.11b) router, AE connected to same router, both wirelessly. Computer approximately 15 feet from router, AE approximately 20 feet away.
Open Applications: Camino, Mail, Sound Stdio (open empty doc, not recording), Revolution, XBattery, and of course iTunes
I thought originally that it was when the MP3 got to a VBR section, so the decoding/reencoding-as-Apple Lossless just couldn't keep up. But now it's doing the same thing with "Beyond Imaginiation" (Sissel, My Heart), which is endoded as Apple Lossless, so it shouldn't be doing any reencoding. Sometimes rebotting the AE or the mian router will stop it for a while. Anyway, if the VBR-decoding/ALC-coding is taking too long, shouldn't iTunes be able to tell that, and have and just adjust the length of whatever internal buffer of ALC sound it has read to stream out? I've got 640MB, and a 4:40 ALC file should only clock in at about 35-40 MB, so I'd think it could ALL go into a buffer.
I just restarted the AE (hard reset by power cycle), which didn't seem to help, and then soft-reset the main router, which has it behaving, for now.. (for the ALC song and the MP3 VBR song as well)

There is still not enough ram in the listed PC, and the 530 is a poor choice. Nvidia list the memory type as DDR3, where you want a card with DDR5. You can get a suitable system for close to the price that is listed. You want to look at Harms hardware guide, and likely shop a custom builder.
You want
CoreI7 or high end I5
Minimum 12 gb memory for HD editing
Minimum 2 physical drives (system & media)
gtx card with at least 1gb ddr5 memory.( I would shop for more memory for 4K footage ) The more CUDA core, the better.
I spent a little more than you or I really wanted to spend on my CS5.5 box $1400 However it works brilliantly.
Core I5 2500k
16gb memory
2x 74GB 10K raptor drives raid0 system drives
2TB media drive
GTX 560Ti 1GB with 384 CUDA cores.
You could shave this system down to under $1k for something that works great.
The GTX555 seems like the base level card to me. A GT or lower spec card might be a gamble.
Look at gamer machine builders rather than prebuilt desktops. They let you choose parts. That is where to start shopping.

HELP! Audio Drops Out When Trying to Capture Canon XL2 Footage

Please help me out here. I'm a freelance camera operator w/ a Canon XL2 and several times now I've gotten calls from the editors saying they're having problems logging my footage, mainly the audio drops out quite a bit, and I'm not talking bout one second for every 2 or 3 minutes. No. It's like every 10 seconds the audio drops in and out.
What's the deal? Two times the guy was using a Panasonic DVX-100A to capture, another time it was a SONY DSR mini-DV deck. With each incident I had to go over with my XL2 and use it as the capture device, which is a pain.
The program they're using is FCP HD or 5. But I think even when they just play the tape in their Sony or Pany cameras, the audio may still suck.
Help me out here, I can't be the only one with this problem.
Thanks.

Well Robert Swanson, I hope my post wasn't taken offensively, it certainly wasn't meant as such. The only Canon camcorder I owned was the GL1. After switching to Sony's I can honestly say it would take something significant to go back. And, I was merely relating my experiences in trying to capture from other Canon camcorders so that I know where you are coming from. However, I am interested in the HVX being the "noisest" camera on the market. I am seriously considering this camera and would be interested in a review that points this out. I would be using the hard drive recorder instead of P2 cards.

I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out". No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?

I have copied my iTunes library onto a new computer, but when I play back the songs using the new computer, there seems to be random "miss" or "drop out" during play back, similar to a small scratch on a vinyl record. Although when I play the same song over again, the "miss" occurs in a different location during the song. No probs with old computer, just the new one. I'm onto my third new computer - same problem. Any suggestions please?

You don't say which version of iTunes you are using, but the symptoms you describe have been encountered by some users with the 64-bit version of iTunes 12.1.
There is an alternative version for 64-bit editions of Windows here:
iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
that seems to address the most of the playback issues that some users have been reporting with the full 64-bit version of 12.1.0.77 - including problems with Bluetooth speakers where either sound is degraded or completely absent. The alternative installer here is the same architecture as most previous "64-bit" versions of iTunes, i.e., a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installer. The "for older video cards" label appears to be something of a misnomer as some people have reported that this corrects problems found on current / high-spec systems.
Some users have reported that after installing this alternative version it is necessary to adjust the "Play audio using" selection (normally to "Direct Sound" rather than "Windows Audio Session", though this may vary based on your audio hardware/drivers) in Edit > Preferences > Playback to restore glitch-free audio (one part of the reported symptoms is that the "Direct Sound" choice isn't available, usually in Windows 8). It may also be necessary to ensure that your Bluetooth speakers are active and selected as the default audio device before you run iTunes.
If this doesn't address the issue, you may want to think about reverting to iTunes 12.0 - see Turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps needed to completely remove all installed iTunes components, and for links to the 12.0 installers.

Broadband Drop Outs

Hey guys
Looking for some advice.
Currently living in a house with BT Infinity (its rented so I'm not the bill payer), when Infinity was installed everything worked fine - no problems at all.
Recently however (and I'm not convinced something hasn't been damaged by the building site directly opposite the house) we get constant broadband drop outs. Interestingly it also does appear to get worse during heavy rain.
Our BT Home Hub is a Home Hub 2.0 (I think), firmware version shows as:
Software version 4.7.5.1.83.8.94.1.11 (Type A)
The hub and the other white box have been restarted many times, it doesn't make a difference.
Since we started having issues, to rule out this being a WiFi related issue, I have a linux netbook attached directly to the Home Hub via Ethernet cable to run tests on. The majority of the time, the connection is fine (and we get a 100% ping return), however we appear to go through prolonged periods of losing about 50% of all pings on my tests. During these period, no computers on the network appear to be able to load any pages from the internet, but pings to the hub are always 100% (unless the hub was being restarted by one of us).
To keep tabs on things, I ran a tracert to www.google.co.uk and then scraped all of the nearby IPs from it (so the first few hops). Using that, I wrote a quick bash script to send out pings and then record to a text file anytime they fail. For anyone who is interested the bash script being used is here: http://pastebin.com/uEycEpdy
The output from the bash script after running all weekend is here:
19/01/14 (running from midday): http://pastebin.com/mtc5Euu0
20/01/14 (ending at 5:30pm) 1: http://pastebin.com/xnScepvy 2: http://pastebin.com/XQRk9eWW
It's ultimately weird! Its also worth noting that all of the lights on the Hub remain blue even when the connection is dead on the computers. It does appear during the issues the netbook can't even ping the first IP address (first hop) after our hub so wondering if it is a line issue (although the line checker on the website says its fine).
Any ideas? Since BT won't talk to me and we don't have a landline phone to test if there is a dial tone I'm wondering it anyone has any suggestions? Currenty bugging the landlord to sort it but you know what they are like!
Many thanks!

Broadband drops 'out' more than 'in' - OpenReach a...

First, forgive me if a similar problem has been posted; I've had to resort to a 2G O2 dongle & speeds are so bad that I can't search the forum. For weeks (months?) now I've had terrible broadband connectivity - sometimes going for days without a connection lasting for more than 2 or 3 seconds. Sometimes we get up to 5 days of great connectivity with speeds of 1mbps and then (as now) days with no useable broadband at all.
We've had our line changed from the exchange, we've had a new master socket installed, we've tried 3 different routers - and each time it's the same... it works fine while the engineer is here, and then it drops 24-48 hours after he leaves. When we do get an appointment sod's law says that all is working fine.
Symptoms are that the DSL light flashes nearly all the time and about once every 5 minutes it goes solid. The internet light goes green momentarily, or sometimes goes red, or generally goes out again. If we do get a connection then any attempt to use it sees it drop out almost immediately.
The phone line works.
Routers used - Netgear DG834 v4, but we've also tried a BT Voyager and an old 2wire BT Business router. All are programmed with the correct usernames and passwords - as demonstrated by the fact that we sometimes get days of good connectivity.
Anyone got any bright ideas? All appreciated!
Thanks.
P.S. OpenReach due back here again Tuesday, by which time it will probably be on its 'good' cycle of working again...

Thanks. Sure - stats are below. I've tried the quiet line test and all seems quiet:

Audio briefly drops out for a few seconds

I about half way through a recorded Keynote presentation, the narration audio drops out (goes blank) for a few seconds. It doesn't affect timing.
I've checked the narration file and it's just fine. Narration was done in Garageband. I've re-recorded the presentation again, and it drops out at exactly the same place. The narration was done in one step, so it's not a problem with the method in Garageband.
Keynote 9, v 5.3. 27" iMac, OSX 10.8.5, 16Gb Ram.
Any ideas of how to solve it?
Many thanks,
Bill

Unfortunately there's no fix for this problem that plagues Classic since release. Considering that a new generation appeared I guess we have no reason to expect a fix anymore.
I also have the problem and it makes the iPod Classic less desirable to be used as a music player than a generic $10 (no name) usb stick.

3G connection keeps dropping out after 4.2.1 update

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone could help me.
I have the iPhone 4, and it was working perfectly... until I upgraded to iOS 4.2.1.
Ever since then, my 3G connection keeps dropping out, and I'm just left with vodafone UK (with usually 3-4 bar signal) but no 'o', 'E' or '3G' symbol.
After about 20 minutes of no cellular data, I'd get the 'o' symbol, then 10 seconds later it would change to '3G'. But then after 5 seconds it would lose it. The cycle would continue in this way.
Strangely, when at home, the 3G would stay connected. But when I go anywhere, I lose 3G.
When I turn 3G off, I get constant 'o' connection where ever I go. It doesn't drop out.
I've tried resetting the phone, and resetting network settings.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.

I'm having a similar issue with my new iPhone 4 (w/ 4.2.1)... It continually cycles through the following sequence:
AT&T / 3G
AT&T / No Data
Searching…
Searching… 3G
AT&T / 3G
(loops…)
Here is a video of the cycling. Note the iPhone 4 is just sitting on a coffee table in my house.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7186070/ip4fw421searching.mov
Also worth noting, I just got the iPhone 4 and I updated it to 4.2.1 right away. Previously, I had a 3GS which did not exhibit any of this behavior in the same location in my house. Also, my girlfriend still has a 3GS and has FW 4.2.1 without these issues. I have a video of her phone in the exact same location taken just after the clip above and her phone maintains 3-bars / AT&T / 3G the entire time.
I picked up the iPhone 4 while out of state over the holiday weekend and did not observe any of these connectivity issues, in fact the 3G throughput of the iPhone 4 was significantly better (consistently got >4 Mbps down / >800 Kbps up) than what my family members were seeing with their 3GS models.
I believe it is a baseband issue introduced with the 4.2.1 update for iPhone 4, but I also strongly believe there is some tower component to this problem (ie, software revision at the tower or configuration).
Like others here, I also performed a restore to 4.2.1 through iTunes and setup my phone as "New" and I continue to see the behavior. The phone is unusable in my house unless I manually disable 3G. As a final data point, when I'm able to maintain a 3G connection long enough in my house I get the following throughput from Speedtest.net: 1863 Kbps down / 543 Kbps up.

Brief audio drop out

Quick question,
I was looping something in garageband tonight.
The loop was going on nonstop for about an hour, as I played along with it.
2 tracks. System was not overloaded or anything. (Macbook Pro i7 + ULN-2)
The problem:
No problem up until 1 hour of playing and then all of a sudden *"no sound"* for a brief second, and then, back on.
It's almost as if the system "hung" or Garageband for that matter.
This got me quite puzzled and angry, because IF I'd be recording the take, it would of been clearly botched.
I took a quick look in console a second after it happened and noticed errors, such as the ones I've posted below.

*Are these errors associated with something that could cause a pause in audio briefly?*
*Does anybody know why this would even happen?*
Thanks

Interesting,
I've had airport disabled from the start. But I was connected to the net while using GB '09.
I'm guessing its a Snow Leopard flaw, since the new system and new update is littered with bugs. I had no sound at all after updating to 10.6.7. These issues weren't present on Leopard.
Lots of errors in console aswell. No idea what the watchdog errors mean either for garageband, just that they coincided with the drop out.

Right channel drops out on playback

I'm noticing that when switching between effects or just replaying a track I've recorded, the track initially has a right channel (which i can hear), but a second later, just drops out. Still in experimental stage in recording, but wondering if anyone has a reason for that happening.
I'm using an M-Audio Fast Track Pro device to get my input with acoustic guitar.

SteveG,
Good suggestions. I tried those too. Made not difference. However, this did. I poked around here and found a solution.
_durin_ had a great remedy. See this post: Playback stops when in multi-track
Also, now that I have made these settings, things seem to play back quicker and renders are faster. I still have a lot to learn.
Thanks so much!

VHS imports drop-out

I asked about this b4 but have found no resolution. Im importing VHS tapes into iMovie through a Pinicle DV box. The problem is, I cant walk away because every few minutes the tape stops being imported and I have to restart the process from the drop out point. I cleaned the VCR and it helped at first but now that doesnt even seem to solve anything. WHAT CAN I DO! I have a LOT of tapes to do and this is making it VERY tedious. Is it my box, computer, imovie, or vcr??? thanks for ANY help!

Sometimes it is just the poor quality of the original VHS tapes, especially if the tape was recorded at extremely long play. I think the code was EP rather than SP or LP.
I have recorded ALL my VHS tapes to miniDV so that I would not cause further degradation as I tried to import VHS footage. Probably around 100 hours of miniDV tapes. Most of the tapes were ok with occasional blips of dropped frames.
However, one of my son's baseball games was recorded by someone who made copies of his original tape and gave all the team members copies. It is about 14 years old, and had become absolutely terrible with multiple video drop-outs. I copied the entire game to minDV, and then imported that into iMovie.
I spent a lot of time editing out the bad video drop-outs. Most of them were ok to lose, but some had important audio in the midst of the blue screen. It was tedious editing, and my iMovie quickly bloated up to 100 GB of space. Yes, that is correct......100 GB. Fortunately, I was making the movie on an external drive and had enough space.
I did the final version by sharing the iMovie as Full-Quality QuickTime movie and making a new iMovie with the quicktime one--which ended up being only 8GB!!!
So, you will have to decide if it is worth it to edit those sections on a nearly frame-by-frame basis. Is it worth the time and effort and large size of the movie, or can creatively put some good video clips over the bad to preserve the good audio segments?

Airport Express dropping out

I am using an airport express to join my network and have connected a network printer to it using and ethernet cable. I have previously used this airport express to connect a windows PC and never had a problem. I recently purchased an iMac to replace the windows PC and no longer need the Airport for the windows PC, so I am now using it for my network printer. The problem is that the Airport now keeps dropping the network. The Yellow light flashes momentarily and then re-connects, and while this is happening my printer is not on-line. The funny thing is that it only happens when the iMac (which is only several feet from the Airport express) is on. If I put the iMac to sleep it works fine. If I reboot the iMac it works again for a while but eventually starts dropping out again. I have tried power-cycling the Airport and printer but to no avail. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
P.S. all software and firmware are up to date for both the iMac, the Airport Express, and my Airport Extreme.

Welcome to the discussions!
By close the laptop, do you mean it goes into standby or a sleep mode? Or, are you using a larger monitor, closing the laptop and not using the laptop screen?
If it's the former, you need to check on the HP to see if there is a "remember this network setting", "stay alive" or something similar so the connection is not lost.
When you close the lid on the HP, it is probably blocking access to the internal antenna within the laptop. If the top is closed, the only way the radio waves can be seen would through the sides of the laptop.
Unless you are seeing intermittent drops in the wireless connection when the laptop is open, it sounds like the Express is delivering a constant wireless signal. Download www.istumbler.net to get a good look at the signal strength and noise on your network. The strength indicators on most laptops are not very accurate.

DSL dropping out

Our low-rent DSL service (768k) has developed problems over the past month. After five years of NEVER GOING OUT NOT ONCE, the DSL service for our house has started to drop out several times a day for hours at a time. We have a Westell 327W modem connected to our PC by a wire. We don't use the wireless.
Our DSL light comes on and flashes but the Internet light goes dark or (sometimes) red. Verizon confirmed it after an hour-long phone call. It is most annoying that every communication with them requires us to go through the entire process every time (do you have line filters? ) You would think that a they would be able to pull up a record of any of our communications over the past month but, no. We hate them, of course.
They were supposed to come out this morning but the truck was sucked up by a UFO (OK, Verizon actually did not give a reason for their no show).
We also have had heavy static on our voice line during this period, which we are assured has nothing to do with our DSL problems. The static and DSL problems began about the time our neighborhood began to get wired for FIOS. We are assured this has nothing to do with our problems.
Would I be so paranoid as to think they would deliberately degrade our service to 'force' us to switch to FIOS? They have given me little reason to believe otherwise.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Believe me, were not out to degrade your service, however; installing Fios is a huge undertaking and sometimes cables or terminals get bumped. As for the condition of your line ...it could have a direct reflection on the dsl service you recieve. If your having static, contact the regular repair....also keep the ticket going for the dsl department...
If your line condition is suffering, so will your Dsl on most occassions.
