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!

  • Audio visible in timeline but drops out on playback halfway through clip

    I've been using Premiere Pro for a few years now and this has never happened to me before.
    I am in the middle of putting together some long clips - anywhere from 3 minutes to 20 minutes long - and all of them worked fine except for the one shown here.
    At the current edit point the audio drops out on playback. As you can see from the timeline, the audio is there. The rest of the clip prior to this point plays fine. Every other clip in the project plays fine. This particular clip loses its audio after 10:18 despite the fact that audio levels can quite clearly be seen in the timeline.
    I am at a total loss. I've tried rendering, closing/reopening, restarting, re-importing ... everything. I hope someone else has a better idea.

    Had the same problem and as solution used nero movie maker, where with sound was everything allright, and exported only sound. When exported a WMA format - premiere showed the same bug again, but when exported WAV format - premiere worked normally. It's not a 100% solution, becouse I had a 5.1 sound, that was converted into stereo sound.
    Similary did with a videoclip, that could not import in premiere (premiere crashed) - via nero movie maker made ir from .mts to wmv with a little loss of quality.
    Camera: Panasonic TM700
    Software: Premiere CS4
    File type: .MTS
    It is a shame to such a expensive software
    Update: these days I faced with this strange bug again and I had an idea to test whether this sound loss affects also exported media. I made a 20 seconds experimental clip and noticed, that there with sound is everything allright. So this sound loss is only in editing process and does not affect exported material.

  • Sound Blaster Audigy 2NX: Right Channel Goes out Intermitten

    In tears trying to figure this on out. <SPAN> My right channel goes out fairly regularly. For example, the sound will work great for a while and sound just awesome.<SPAN> I leave my desk overnight and when I come back, only the left channel produces sound.<SPAN> I?ve double checked all the balances (winamp, Creative, Windows) and they are all balanced.<SPAN> Besides, the right channel will come back on its on from time to time as well.
    Before you all assume it'ss the speakers, I?ve tested this with a different pair of speakers and found the same.<SPAN> Also, if the channel is out, I can always get it to come back by switching to the primary laptop driver, playing a song for awhile and then switching back to the NX driver.
    I?ve reinstalled the drivers (cleanly), updates the bios, downloaded DirectX and uploaded the firmware and drivers off of the Creative auto-update site. It seems something?s wrong with the drivers, but I can't figure what.
    <SPAN>
    Has anyone else seen this problem or have any suggestions.<SPAN> Again, I?ve done a complete uninstall of the SB drivers and reinstall twice now.
    I am running a pair of Cambridge Soundworks 2. speakers off of the external SB Audigy 2NX out of a Toshiba Tecra. I have a Pentium M 700 process or and 52 RAM.<SPAN>

  • Audio dropping out during playback in timeline

    Hey everyone,
    I've dug through these forums and unless I just completely overlooked it I have not found a solution to this issue. I've listed my setup below and then have stated the issue I'm experiencing.
    27-inch, Mid 2011 iMac
    3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    16GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    AMD Radeon HD 6970 1024MB
    Running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
    Currently working off of a portable 1TB G-Technology G-DRIVE via FW800.
    Working in Premiere Pro CS6 Version 6.0.2
    Editing in a sequence with settings:
    1920 x 1080 23.976fps (also tried in a 29.97fps timeline with same issue)
    Working with footage that is 23.98fps
    Working with a combination of ProRes 422 (LT) and native H.264 Quicktime files strait from a 5D Mark 3.
    The issue I'm having is during playback the audio will competely drop out. The video will continue playing on just fine but the audio drops completely out. All audio levels drop as well in the audio mixer meters so it truly is losing all communication with my audio layers in the timeline.
    I read in other forums to go into Finder and delete out the .caf files, re open Premiere Pro, wait for them to be recreated then carry on. I tried this approach with no luck. Deleting the .caf did not change anything. Audio is still dropping out as I try to play through my timeline. The only way to get the audio back is to pause then press play again. I have 5 total channels of audio with only 2 of those channel active.
    Any ideas on what is happening would be greatly appreciated. This is incredibly frustrating have to export out a video just to be able to watch it through.

    Having this annoying problem also.  Using the Space Bar to play timeline it takes pressing and holding to a count of three or trying press play three time in a row using the space bar to get ungarbled audio, or any audio at all in a normal uncomplicated sequence on the timeline.
    Really annoying.  Audio used to be so simple and untaxing to a sequence.

  • Channel drop outs

    I imported a song and it was fine. Today I am simply playing it back and i get random drop outs on the channel with the loudest level. I need some help please. I changed my I/O buffer size, but it had no effect.

    Chopper51 wrote:
    In the same window as the I/O buffer, try setting the Process buffer range one step bigger than it is now.
    Changed it to Large, no difference.
    OK, check.
    What does this song look like? a normal song
    Do you really think I meant that? A 'normal" song? I have no idea what that is, LOL.
    I meant: how many tracks, what audio format (24bits 44.1 kHz or 24/48 or 24/96 or even something else? What effects are on those audio tracks, to assess how heavy you are stressing your CPU('s)
    What bit depth? What samplefrequency?
    Crucial.
    Which plugins do you use on it? waves
    That doesn't say squat. There are Waves plugins that hardly use any CPU, there are some that eat 'm for breakfast. Just "waves" doesn't tell me a lot.
    Any Flex time? no
    And when you bounce the song, is the bounce as it should be? yes
    And how is the CPU activity (according to Logics' own meters)? 3 bars on one processor, about 12%
    Any cores hitting the red? barely hitting them
    And the HD activity? very little or no CPU activity. No HD activity.
    OK, next thing to look at is your audio interface. What make and type is it, and have you got the most recent compatible drivers installed for it? Even if you have, trash them and reinstall. You never know.

  • Airport express and stereo channel drop-out

    I'm running iTunes on my home stereo system through airport express. I can only get one channel of stereo to play. This does not occur with controls such as playing my stereo components(radio receiver, CD player) outside the network. Is this a common or avoidable problem?

    I'm also having problems getting both stereo channels to balance equally when running itunes through my home stereo. However, I'm not using airport express. I have a 1/8 inch cable from the headphone jack of my ibook G4 going to a RCA Y splitter (into the stereo receiver). I have only a faint response in my left stereo channel while most of the signal is in the Right channel. All of my cables are plugged in properly, and everything is fine when I use my stereo components, radio and cd player.
    Anyone know why this might be happening? I bought the Y splitter from Radio Shack--it's brand new and doesn't seem to be faulty.
    thanks,
    Gabe

  • Right channel goes out

    My right channel keeps going dead. Three different headsets. When I push the top of the headphone plug to one side, it comes back on. Is it worth taking the back off to see how I might fix it?

    As you already know the issue is with the headphone jack in your iPod Classic. You can try inserting something thin into the jack and remove any debris in there that may be causing a bad connection. If that does not solve it then it may require a new headphone jack.

  • Airplay dropping out during music playback

    Since all the software updates I have developed a very annoying problem between iTunes 10.5 on my Mac Mini (Snow Leopard) and my ATV2.
    If I am streaming from iTunes to the ATV2 using airplay I will get audio dropping out during playback. It happens intermittently and randomly. The song keeps playing on iTunes, but ATV2 isn't getting the audio.
    If I am pulling music or stored movies from iTunes the other way around (i.e. using the ATV2 menu) there is no problem. Everything works as expected, but of course I get no iTunes DJ and no crossfade between songs.
    I did notice that when this problem happens the wireless light on my router stops flashing, so I am assuming that iTunes is not buffering it's airplay, or perhaps there is some kind of a network error. At first I thought it might be too many devices active on the router, but this is never more than 4 items at once, including the ATV2.
    Anyone else with a similar problem?

    I think you're correct that Airplay doesn't buffer ahead, if it does it's a tiny amount, whereas the whole song can buffer when you pull/play direct on AppleTV.
    If you think about it too because you're applying effects in iTunes, crossfades etc these have to be processed not just played and I think itunes does this in real time rather than processing ahead of time in case you say adjust eq settings/volume etc.  Also, the Airport/Airplay devices playing 'live' effectively allows multiroom playback with a degree of synchronisation.
    The cutting out is to me a sign that data is not getting across the network as robustly now for some reason - I used to have terrible problems with cutting out streaming to an older Airport Express over wi-fi due to interefrence locally from microwaves, cordless landline phones etc.  Of course something may have changed given all the software updates but you'd expect the stuttering in iTunes if it was a processing bug.  If many others see the same could still be software related,but unless that's the case I'd say it's almost certainly the network.  ANyrthing changed? New competing networks from neighbours?

  • Audio Drops Out Randomly

    I'm having a problem where audio randomly drops out during playback of videos in the viewer.  I'll be watching a video clip, and then out of nowhere the audio will just stop.  Sometimes if I click stop and play again, the audio returns.  Sometimes the audio never comes back until I restart the program even if I change video clips.  I never have this problem when viewing sequences though.  It only happens when I'm previewing clips before adding them to my sequence so when it gets really bad I end up adding all the potential video clips to the sequence before trimming and arranging them just so I can hear the sound.
    This consistently happens to me on my Macbook Pro and my Windows 8 PC both running the most up-to-date version of Premiere Pro CS6.  All of the video content I'm working with is in AVCHD format.  The Macbook is a 2008 pre-unibody model with OS 10.8, 4 GB RAM, a Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz processor, and an NVidia 128 MB video card.  The PC is running Windows 8 with 16 GB RAM, a 2 GB video card, and an Intel I7 processor with 3.4 GHz.

    In the Premiere Pro help file it states:
    Conforming audio
    Premiere Pro processes each audio channel, including audio channels in video clips, as 32-bit floating-point data at the sequence sample rate. This processing assures maximum editing performance and audio quality. Premiere Pro conforms certain types of audio to match the 32-bit format and the sequence sample rate. If conforming is required, it is done when a file is imported into a project for the first time. Conforming takes some time and disk space. A progress bar appears at the lower right of the Premiere Pro window when conforming begins. Premiere Pro saves conformed audio in CFA audio preview files. You can determine where to save these audio preview files by specifying a Scratch Disk location for Audio Previews in the Project Settings dialog box.
    You can work with audio files, even applying effects to them, before they are fully conformed. However, you can preview only the parts of the files that have been conformed. You cannot hear unconformed sections on playback.
    These rules determine which types of audio get conformed:
    See: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WS9FAF538A-BEE3-4925-B45A-DF8BE7F2A2E5.ht ml#WS00AF9E2E-9F99-4aff-8961-1E2F30E9ECCC
    It doesn't hurt to look at the Prmiere Pro help files once in a while to learn various processes, etc.

  • Copy right channel to left channel ??

    hello,
    my name is johan de visser from holland and i'm currently working on a restauration session. i have to transfer a couple of songs from old school tape cassete to cd. the tapes are more than 15 years old and at least not used for 10 years or more.
    after transfer i do the 'digital remastered' thing.
    there's one song where the left channel dropped out for 2 seconds. i got the idea to copy the right channel to the left, but really don't know how to do this in logic ???
    anybody ??
    greetings and many thanks, johan

    Welcome Johan,
    there are several opportunities to achieve this, here are two to begin with :
    You could use the panorama automation for the specific part, so for the time of the drop out you'd have a left-channel-only, but-mono - part.
    You could also copy the whole track to another audio channel, isolate the drop-out part, and adjust the output, volume and panorama of that copied channel to your liking.
    (Maybe it's a good idea to also have a mono listening session after you've repaired the specific passage, as sometimes there can be nasty phase anormalies.)
    Good luck !

  • I'm using GarageBand 10.0.1. Do the built-in drum tracks only come in mono format, or is it possible to make them true stereo (i.e. Left and Right channels outputing different signals, to sound like the kit has been panned across the stereo field)?

    All the Drum Kits available for GarageBand are mixed in stereo.
    Logic provides the same 18 Drum Kits also as "Producer Kits", which are multi-track outputs,. Each Drum Kit Piece (Kick, Snare, HH, etc) and also room mice and overheads are routed to individual channel strips.
    Here is a screenshot of one Drum Kit in Logic Pro X with individual Channels Strips. Each Channel Strip can be loaded with individual effects (compressor) and adduced with individual sends, etc.
    What that means is that all the Drummers are professionally recorded and sampled with individual mics. The Stereo Drums Kits are just "stereo mix-downs" for easier handling and less CPU demand. I explain all the details about the Drummer ecosystem in my graphically enhanced manual "GarageBand X - How it Works"
    Hope that helps

  • Preview Files Suddenly Go Missing, Render Entire Work Area Crashes Premiere, Audio Drops Out

    I opened a Premiere Pro project I was working on earlier today and it said it couldn't find the preview files, searching my system found that the files didn't exist.
    Rendering my entire work area brings up the "render window" but nothing happens, if I press cancel Premiere freezes.
    Started getting a strange situation error ( 26 ::139 ) in After Effects at the same time that Premiere lost the preview files and the crashes started happening. It disallows me from editing any dynamically linked projects. In Premiere the DL's just show up as "Media Pending" clips indefinitely. Importing the compositions in AE into a new project didn't fix the issue either.
    The three problems above started happening all at the same time, was working through a color grade using Red Giant software when it started happening.
    Also audio drops out on playback randomly in Premiere Pro, tried various audio drivers and hardware, none entirely eliminate this problem. Sometimes the audio will cut out and "burst in" distorted very loudly, which is disturbing, even when my work area is rendered. This problem has been around since I started using PP CC.
    I can provide more info soon or if people want more info pls let me know, I'm very tired and I need to get this issue resolved for tomorrow, in the mean time hopefully someone can point out a general fix for these errors or knows a few workarounds. Tried reinstalling PP and AE, no luck.
    Computer is a Windows 7, 64-bit. i7 950, 12gb RAM, GeForce GTX 650, programs installed on a separate internal HDD, media files on another internal HDD. But these same issues (minus the audio dropouts) was also cropping up on a core 2 duo 13'' macbook pro.
    Regards,
    Zach

    Hi Arjun, thank you for your help.
    Though that didn't work either. At least the timeline will playback but as soon as I try to render my work region or export any video Premiere freezes.
    I removed all dynamic linked files as well, that didn't seem to change anything.
    Something I noticed -- the render bar on the timeline that is usually yellow for edited clips that have no FX on them is all red, nothing is yellow (or green). This is a 4 minute long edit on a music video, nothing extraordinary.
    I tried creating a new project and dragging a few clips in and editing them, everything went normally and I could render and export the clips. Just any rendering done on any version of this music video edit I'm working on crashes the program.
    Also recently had a problem where I opened the music video project and the song that I imported (.mp3) all of a sudden has no waveform or sound coming from it. Dragging it back into the project doesn't fix it either. Workaround was using a .wav copy of the song.

  • Left and right channels of stereo sound coming only from left spea

    The title says it all. I can't figure out what's wrong. I checked all the settings I can think of, but nothing seems out of place. It's not the right channel cutting out, but both channels coming from the left speaker (I used the speaker test feature to confirm this). This just happened out of nowhere when I booted up my pc. Any idea what's wrong?
    *Oh, and this is an Audigy 2 (plain version).Message Edited by Geise on 2-3-2005 : PM

    Did you ever fix this problem? I have the exact same thing happening to my sound.
    All the sound comes from the left in stereo sound. I plugged the green stereo analog speakers into the other pin the blackone for 4. setting on my SBLi've24 allthe others play fron t left back left and back right but the front right is so soft like a whisper.
    So the speakers work. Im running a Xp mediaedition system. It happened after an apparent sound conflict that made an electronic popping sound which got progressi'vely worse until i figured out how to reset the car d in the Bios level. I have done evrything but reformat the hard dri've All tests say the hardware is working but still no front right channel. Help please

  • Playback loop dropping out  before end of song!!  Please help!!

    Just started using mainstage 2 (latest version). I'm trying to set up some playback to perform live with, but for some strange reason, some of the playback stems always drop out before the end of the song. (usually 2 t 4 bars before ending.) It happens every time.. and on every songs...
    Could someone please help.. I really can't figure this one out!
    Thanx
    I'm not looping the playbacks and I'm syncing on the average about 4 playback plugins song..
    I'm using an Axiom pro 61 as controller
    My system is a 13in MacBook Pro 2010 model with OS 10.6.6

    In fact, you can add markers directly in Mainstage - open up the playback plug-in, put your cursor exactly on the point of the waveform where you want your marker and control-click to open the pop-up menu from which you can add, rename and remove markers. Click/drag on the waveform to move to the required location.
    To sync, just set the tempo of each song at the set or patch level (others have noted problems getting everything to sync properly, so to avoid this problem I usually just create an audio file of my click track and load it up into a separate playback channel - this also makes it easier to route it separately to your FOH output).
    As for tempo change, well, I'm afraid MS2 doesn't support tempo change as such, although if you vary the tempo of you backings in PT and bounce down a stem, then that is just an audio file, and when MS2 plays it back it will play as recorded (ie with tempo changes). This is another good reason for using an audio file of a click track.
    Good luck.

  • Left, right, or both sound channels cutting out

    Hello folks,
    This is a second thread I am creating to ask some questions about this other problem I have:
    I have a fourth-gen ipod photo. I bought it just before they rolled out the ipod color. I have used this device pretty heavily, I take it with me everywhere I go. I've tried to take good care of my iPod... no major drops, minimal jars, only unplugging it when there's no I/O access, and trying not to charge it until the battery is low.
    For several months I have been having issues with sound channels on my headphones cutting out. At first, it was just annoying: left or right sound channel cutting out, fixed simply by nudging the headphone plug in the jack.
    Lately, however, this is becoming a bigger problem. This problem does not affect the ipod playing back music in any way, aside from the fact that sometimes the ipod will think I've unplugged the headphone.
    Now, sound will completely cut out. Sometimes I hear nothing. Sometimes fidelity will drop pretty heavily and everything sounds like I was listening to my music underwater. Sometimes, just the left or right sound channels cut out. Again, all of this fixes itself by wiggling the headphone jack in its plug.
    I use a pair of $20 walmart special Sony Street Style (very nice sound quality, actually) in most cases, but also use it with a pair of American Audio DJ headphones. The Sony headphones have an L-shaped plug, but the AA headphones have a more traditional sticks-straight-out plug.
    I am looking to fix this problem myself. I plan on opening up my iPod to install a new battery and maybe fix the other problem I am having (see my other thread), and I am not afraid of the insides of the device.
    What I am asking is if anyone else has had this problem, or a something similar? My guess is that the headphone jack's solderpoints on the PCB have become loose, so if I go in there and resolder the jack then I hope everything is hunky-dory. I've seen repair sites that sell the entire headphone assembly for like $50. Would it be better just to replace the whole thing?
    Please note that I have no intentions (nor the money) to have a "genius" fix my iPod. (Where's the fun in that, anyway?) Further, I can not afford (and will not buy) another iPod, so that's out too. I am simply looking to fix my iPod and keep limping along until I can afford a newer mp3 player.
    Any help is appreciated
    tom

    Hello,
    It looks to me that it can be caused by the bad contact of the metal parts of earphone jack or the loose of its solder with the mother board. Both of them should not be too difficult to deal with if you are good in small elect. device.

Maybe you are looking for
