Recording Audio Playback offset/delayed

As a loyal Logic member since version 7, I recently started having a problem when playing back audio tracks. The audio seems to playback behind the beat. Is there a recording playback offset or delay option perhaps I accidently switch on or altered?
Please help.
Terrytagg

Are these recently recorded audio tracks?
If so.. look at: Preferences/Audio See the "Record Delay" adjustment? It should be set to zero.
PlugIn Delay Compensation should be set to: Audio and Sortware Instrument Tracks.
Low Latency Mode disabled.

Recording audio playback

whenever i turn on the phantom switch on my TASCAM interface to record audio, distortion (feedback) from my speakers is heard in the playback. please help me ! arghhhhhh

Not much info. How have you hooked things up, how have you configured Audio MIDI Setup/Sound control panel/Logic, what cables go in where, how does the builtin audio of the Mac sound/ are all you cables allright, are all the levels allright, have you plugged things in the right holes, have you set any switches right, it could be anything. Argh.

Record audio playback while recording

I would like to record audio (from a radio) and be able to play it back while it is recording or at a later time. I can do this with DVD-RAM DVD recorder but would like to do it in a simpler manner.

LineIn might do, or Soundflower.

Newly recorded audio is offset

I'm running Logic 9 in Yosemite on a 2011 MacBookPro...since installing Mavericks & now Yosemite, whenever I record an audio clip it appears (& plays) about 1 beat ahead of the place in time where it was recorded. I have to drag the clip back to the right place on the timeline. What could be causing this?
Thanks, Brian

In Preferences/Audio make sure the setting "Recording Delay" is set at 0 <zero>

Audio playback delayed thru Firewire monitor - JVC BR-DV3000

First I apologize for the length of this post, but I want to make sure I've adequately described the problem. For years, I've edited with FCP using a JVC HR-DVS2U (DV/SVHS combo deck) with great results. I use it to capture and output through firewire, also connected is a monitor and a UVW-1600 Beta machine.
Now a buddy of mine also has a system using a JVC BR-DV3000. When I attempted to set his system up similar to mine, using the DV deck as the conduit for monitoring and recording to beta, he complained about audio dropping out at the beginning of transitions in the timeline. This was the weirdest thing! How does the DV machine know that a transition is taking place?! I thought it was just data out. I finally traded out machines with him and hooked it up to my system. At first, I didn't have any problems. I mainly edit 30-second commercials, so I played back a timeline with three dozen transitions in it without a hitch! So now I'm really confused, until one day I had a 20 minute long timeline of about 20 promos back to back, all digitized from beta. Sure enough there was the audio playback delay. I switched the audio playback from firewire to computer audio out and I did not have the problem, but I could not record out to tape in this configuration. Then I thought maybe it's just the length of the timeline, so I opened up a commercial timeline that plays back fine and pasted one of the beta promos in there. The 30 second spot played back fine and then when it hit the beta vid it had the audio dropout. Now understand, the audio is NOT out of sync, it just drops out for about two seconds when playing back from the timeline. You can watch the VU meter on the deck, it completely loses the audio for two seconds, mostly when you first start the timeline and at most transitions. I now think it may have something to do with the source material. I just digitized some video from DV that was shot on a JVC camera, when most of the stuff I shoot is from a Canon XL1. The JVC camera footage has this dropout issue. Any clues?

This has happened to me too. The problem is with the firmware in older DV3000 decks. JVC has an update, but you can't do it yourself. JVC or your dealer will have to do it for you. In the meantime there is a workaround. Make sure your DV3000 is powered on FIRST. Then start FCP. That trick always worked for me. Good Luck.

Record audio Left channel mono playback

I'm new to Captivate and setting up a microphone for recording audio. Recording equipment is a single microphone into an E-Mu 0404 USB interface. The interface has 2 mic inputs. The mic is plugged into the left channel. Sound is recorded fine, but only plays back on the left channel. How can I get the single channel treated as mono so playback is on both ears?
Thanks

Hi there
Assuming you can do so, perhaps consider a Y connector that makes the mic feed into both channels.
Also, report this to Adobe as I've seen many posts here regarding stereo and only hearing one channel.

Audio playback delay using M-Audio Audiophile

I have an MBP, 2.66 GHz i7, 4GB 1067 Mhz DDR3 Ram. External monitor on DVI. OS X 10.6.8
I've just started using FCP X and have cut one movie with it ( http://youtu.be/SUQLTk4aCS8 )
However I am now experiencing a problem that audio playback is about 10 frames behind the video, even though the waveform on the screen lines up with the video.
I am using an M-Audio Audiophile firewire audio interface to playback audio. When I switch back to the internal soundcard audio sync is fine. This problem started after I updated the M-Audio driver, as the one on the MBP was the one that transferred across when I copied all my files from my previous MBP (I can't remember Apple's name for this process, when you connect the new computer to old computer by firewire and transfer all files and settings automatically)
The M-Audio control panel wasn't working on this MBP so I updated to the newset driver, the 64 bit version. I assume the i7 and OS X 10.6.8 is 64 bit but I am not positive as I could not find any guidance on my computer or elsewhere.
Can anyone help me with this? I prefer the sound quality of my Audiophile, I find the internal soundcard very trebly. Just want to get rid of the playback delay.

Thanks for responding.
It seems quite strange that the driver update caused the problem...maybe I should roll back to the previous driver? worth a try I guess...although this is a new machine so doing that could cause other problems.
ANNNNOYING....on the internal soundcard, whenever I click the mouse or scroll the timeline I hear annoying clicks and pops thru my speakers.
What kind of 'pro' software doesnt let u use an external soundcard. I think Apple really screwed up here. I feel sorry for everyone who invested in full-on FCP suites and training time for editing feature films who are no longer going to get updates and support.

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.

Recording with audio playback slowed down 65% what speed do I need to speed the video back up to to get it into real time?

Ive recorded a test video with audio/music playback slowed down 65% what speed do I need to speed the video back up to to get it into "real" time?
If I'd slowed the audio playback down 50% I would make the video 100% faster.
If I'd slowed the audio playback down 100% I would make the video 200% faster.
So its obviously somewhere inbetween speeding up by 100-200%
Sorry but its melting my brain today and I cant remember the calculation.
thanks

hey all
Thanks for the advise on this. I will explain a little more what am have/am intending to do.
I have used Audacity to slow the song down (Effect>Change Tempo)
Audacity will allow me slow the original song down by up to 99% (Or anything in-between up to 3 decimal places)
Unfortunately I am working to a time restraint of 12 minutes per clip (as my DSLR will only allow up to a 12 minute clip).
The song at normal speed is 4 minutes long.
Originally I slowed the audio down by 50% (Making the audio 8 minutes long), lip synced to it using a rasta blaster and recorded the video using my DSLR at 720p 50fps.
I then imported the video and audio I had been lip syncing to into FCPX.
I sped up the video by x2 (equivalent to speeding it up 200%)
Retime>Fast 2X
Layered the PROPER normal speed audio back over the top and all was fine.
Test video complete.
(You can ignore the 65% slowed down audio I mentioned earlier if you like, that was just an example of a slower than 50% audio test)
Firstly what I really want to do is to be able to slow the AUDIO down as much as possible (But still within the restraints of only being able to adjust FCPX retiming within a whole 1 percentage in the final video edit), but have the AUDIO of the song as near to/under 12 minutes as possible.
I will then re-record the video again to this new slowed down audio.
Secondly I will speed up the video from 12 minutes to 4 minutes.
Thirdly I will layer the correct 100% Normal AUDIO on top.
The FINISHED video should then look like everyone is wizzing around at high speed but the guitar playing/lyrics look like they are being played/sung at the normal speed.
Whatever happens (due to the constraints of FCPX) I need the calculations to work so that FCPX is retimed exactly to a whole 1% for the final video to sync up correctly.
So what I need to know in a nut shell is:-
What calculation do I use to work out the percentage to slow a 4 minute song down to a 12 minute song?
What calculation do I use to work out the percentage of how much I need to then speed the 12 minute video up to turn it back into a 4 minute video?
My mind is melting

Recording Audio for Playback

Hello,
I work with a university making language learning CDs in
Flash CS3 which are often used in locations where there is no
internet access.
I have the impression from my readings that audio can only be
recorded for playback using the FMS and not locally. Is this
accurate? We would like to allow students with no internet access
to play back recordings they have just made of their attempts to
say their new words.
Any advice?
Thanks for reading!
David Martin

Yes, the audio is never stored even temporarily stored on the
users machine. It is streamed in real-time up to the server and
stored as .flv files which can later be played back from the
server. There is a company I know of which offers this server
recording as a service. It's called www.userplane.com The company I
work for has our own FMS servers and let users record to the server
but this is a lot more work then just using a company to provide
you with this service. So you can go either way. But there is audio
stored on the users machine.

Quicktime video recording - audio delay

If i try to record a video using quicktime and my built-in webcam, and have the audio volume turned up so i can monitor as i record, there is a delay.
This is the only program that delays audio as i record. To be clear, the final video is not out of sync, its just the audio delays if i try to listen as i record (important if you are recording guitar like i do)
Any way to make it not delay?

JTBluesmaker, When you record the computer has to capture the video/audio and then convert the video/audio and then play it back. I believe Quicktime is monitoring the recoding and not the audio input. With that, I would say there going to be a slight delay.
If you have something like Apple's GarageBand you should be able to monitor the audio input.

Recorded audio through iSight is fuzzy on playback

Not my own iMac, but that of a friend. When she records a video with the iSight the audio playback has become a bit "fuzzy". It doesn't sound too bad, but sometimes it's hard to understand some of her words. Previous videos created have very clear audio.
What can I do to help her?

Hello littlezilla.
Diablorist offers a good suggestion to check System Preferences > Sound (both "Input" and "Output") settings. If you friend uses external speakers, also check whether those settings might need adjustment.
Built-in iSight has no mic. Those iMacs use the mic built into the iMac.
Your friend should verify that playing ONLY those things that she records NOW sounds bad. For instance, does a commercial audio CD also sound bad? Does one of those old recording that sounded good in the past still sound good? If all audio now coming out of your friend's iMac is "fuzzy", your friend's speakers (not the mic) may be damaged or your friend's sound card may be failing.
If your friend's old recording still sound good when played back, there is nothing wrong with your friend's system's sound output components.
Your friend should next try recording sound with a different application. If playback of a file recorded with a different app sounds good, the software for the app she initially used may be damaged. Try reinstalling that application.
If playback of files recorded with any app that uses the iMac's built-in mic also sounds "fuzzy", the mic or audio processing components may be damaged. You can test that by using a different mic. If your friend does not have access to another mic, try playing back something recorded with a camcorder or digital camera. You may even want to buy an external mic like the Logitech USB Desktop Microphone for this test. If your friend's problem really IS the mic, using the desktop Mic will likely be cheaper than repairing your friend's iMac unless it is still covered by warranty.
If you cannot fix the problem with software or an add-on mic, your friend should contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for professional service.

Fast audio playback after recording overlay in CS4- How can I slow it down play at regular speed?

I have a video that I am trying to record audio narration over and everytime I record the audio (as I have done many times in the past) it goes on the time as a shorter clip that plays back at a faster speed causing me to sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks. What am I doing wrong and how do I get it to play and record in real time speed? The video speed is uneffected and plays normally?
Thanks!

Great- I think that would fix the issue but how do I set my recording to
32,000- it's recording at 48,000 now?

HT2375 Logic Pro 9 is playing back recorded audio tracks ahead of MIDI tracks

When recording audio all of a sudden, my playback of any recording is faster than the MIDI recording. My software instruments are on time, but audio or guitar play through audio is always just a step ahead when recorded through live input monitoring. I've reinstalled Logic Pro to try and fix it, and no change. Any ideas?

Hello there is no problem in audio recording delay
just check your pref ........ midi ......... sync ...... delay ( 0.0 ) ( Reset once again change the value and return it to zero ( 0 ) )
and please on the software monitoring .....

Sync audio playback to external monitor.

Is there any way in FCPX to delay the audio playback to be in sync with an external monitor.
In FCP7 it was called "Frame delay".
I have no standalone audio delay available.
I´m cutting music videos and while the external video (BM Intensity Extreme via HDMI) is only delayed 2-3 frames, it is virtually useless...
