Silence at start of first two tracks

Whenever I burn a CD, or bounce the CD, I end up getting silence at the start of the first two tracks. It is not an added pause between songs, but actually silences the music, which should be playing under it. Then about 10 seconds into the track, the music suddenly jumps back up, 10 seconds into the song.
Is anyone else getting this? I've tried with plugins on the mix, without plugins, but no luck. I tried creating a new CD with new songs, to see if that CD project had somehow been corrupted. The new project did it as well. I haven't trashed my prefs or anything yet. I'll give that a try, but anyone else have any ideas?
Oh, and yes, it plays just fine when I'm listening to it from Waveburner itself. There are no misplaced fades or anything.
Thanks

ITunes "hangs" after playing first two tracks

Testing with three different CDs, I have discovered that my iTunes "hangs" after playing the first two tracks. That is, it will play the first two tracks fine, then appear to play the first two seconds of the second track again and stop. I am also unable to eject the CD or quit the program, instead getting the Spinning Beach Ball of Death, so I must force-quit the program, after which I am able to eject the CD.
I have repaired the disk permissions and verified the disk with no problem in both cases. I have also shut down and restarted a few times between tests, but to no avail. I hope this issue is not an indication of a physical problem with my drive. (I have not tried running Disk Warrior yet, but that may be my next step.) Also, this problem occurred both before and after I upgraded to 10.4.11 so it seems to be unrelated to this OS upgrade, but it may be related to my upgrading to iTunes 7.5. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,
Paul

Yep, that did the trick. Many thanks! In fact, after unchecking Error Correction and successfully playing a CD all the way through, I even rechecked EC and immediately tried playing the same CD, with the same problematic "Track 2 Hanging" result.
Odd that this should be the solution, though. It begs the question as to whether or not EC should ever be checked. I realize that this feature is for importing and not for playing tracks, but it seems tedious to have to remember to check EC when importing and then uncheck it for playing. I guess I'm asking whether or not EC is effective enough to warrant the inconvenience of having to uncheck and recheck and uncheck, etc. Any thoughts on that?

Why does Logic Pro 9 add 0.3s silence at start of all my tracks when I "export all tracks as audio files"?

OK - when I "export all tracks as audio files" it works fine - I get a load of exported tracks (annoyingly with the stupid "_bip" prefix at the end).
But I find that they all have about 0.3s silence inserted at the start. WHY??!!!
I checked, and on the timeline all the tracks start with their first note at the beginning of the track so there is no silence in the arrangement. But still this silence on export.
This Logic feature is so badly designed - why can't it do the simplest things as expected.

Thank you I will look into plug-in latency compensation. However, there is no latency or need for latency compensation when outputting offline files in this way. Latency compensation is for live playback where real-time processing matters. So this is flawed software design, hence my comments about it being illogical.
"there is no latency or need for latency compensation when outputting offline files.....etc"
You don't fully understand how Logic's audio engine and buffering scheme works... not that anyone fully does except the programmers. Basically your above statement is incorrect, as some plugins have built-in-latency and others don't, but that's not the complete picture. The problem is a combination of a plugin's built-in-latency and how Logic buffers data. Logic deactivates the audio engine when stopped, all plugins and software instruments become deactivated including the ability to load or purge data buffers with the exception of a software instrument or audio track that is selected for "live" input.
(Look up Plug-in-Latency Compensation in the manual for a full explation of the choices available)
I won't disagree with you about the software design, however, rather than flawed I tend to think of it as antiquated. The positive side of this is extremely low processor use and the ability to design templates with all plugins and software instruments loaded and ready to start a new project. The downside most Logic users are familiar with... unexpected overloads in the middle of a project when a approaching a region that makes use of processor intensive plugins, Loops that don't match up perfectly when starting a project from bar 1 and/or missing notes at the beginning of MIDI loop if starting at bar 1.... plus a half dozen other anomalies related to Logic's "efficient" audio engine. The efficiency concept made sense back when computers didn't have enough power to handle active or semi-active plugins, seems it causes more problems than not these days.

Purchased a new Apple TV and the remote double clicks each time I press the button. It worked fine during set up and for the first two days. I have since moved it and this problem started. Restarted,reset,unplugged,change remotes, no change.Help please.

Purchased a new Apple TV and the remote double clicks each time I press the button. It worked fine during set up and for the first two days. I have since moved it and this problem started. Restarted,reset,unplugged,changed remotes, no change. Latest software update. This is really annoying. iPhone remote app works just fine. Any suggestions?

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

Have you looked in the Videos app? Under the section TV shows (bottom middle button on the tabs)

I just purchased a song, it starts about 3 sec. late missing the first two sentences, what should I do?

Bought a song and when play starts 3 seconds late so misses first two lines of the song.

If you deleted it from your library and re-downloaded a fresh copy, and the fresh copy had the same problem, then it may be a defective master file in the Store. Submit the problem to iTunes Customer Service.

Hello there, Srushevics.
It sounds like you may be having issues with the connectivity of your iPhone with the Bluetooth in your vehicle. The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting that Bluetooth connectivity with your iOS device:
If you can’t use a Bluetooth accessory or car kit
To resolve the issue, you'll need to first sign in to iCloud and review your devices:
Sign in to iCloud on your iOS devices and Macs with OS X Yosemite (available this fall).
On one of your devices, tap Settings > Bluetooth and look under My Devices. You'll see all devices that are connected to Bluetooth, but make sure that you see your Apple devices that are signed in to iCloud and are using iOS 8 or OS X Yosemite.
Sign out of your iCloud account from any devices that you don't want to use. To sign out of iCloud on an iOS device, tap Settings > iCloud > Sign Out.
Then, remove any inactive devices from iCloud:
Sign in to iCloud.com.
Select Find My iPhone.
Select any devices that aren't active anymore.
Wait for Find My iPhone to stop trying to find the inactive device.
You should see the option to remove this device from your account. Select it to remove the device.
After following the steps above, restart the device with the issue. Then try to use it with your Bluetooth accessory.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

Syncing two tracks in cs5.5

Hello,
I have two tracks of a piano concerto (solo and orchestral accompaniment). I would like to "morph" the orchestral accompaniment track (change the tempo on a bar/phrase by bar/phrase basis) to match the solo track. Since it is classical music, it doesn't have the trong stransients of a drum beat.
What is the best way to accomplish this in Audition CS 5.5?
I am new to audio editing. Can someone point me to a "step-by-step tutorial" of how to accomplish this over a short sequence (obviously I would repeat the steps many times over a whole movement).
Thank you very much for any help.

Hmm... more questions first, I'm afraid...
When you say you 'recorded' the piano solo, did you actually play it in or program it? And how accurately timed is it against the orchestral recording?
Given a free choice, I'd start with an audio recording of the piano, cut it up into segments and place these appropriately against the orchestral background. Specifically in this instance, you'll have an electronic piano sound that won't have anything like the ambience that the orchestral recording will have (even if it's been electronically generated, they're almost bound to have added something to it). If you start mucking around with the orchestral recording, you're going to alter that, and the results probably won't sound very convincing at all. You can fake the acoustic on your final piano track though, to make it sound at least something like the orchestral track, and because it won't have been stretched if you do it last, you are far less likely to notice what's happened.
So as far as I'm concerned the process may well go something like this: (Sorry that this is rather long-winded, but I can't see an easier way to explain it to a self-confessed beginner)
Place the orchestral accompaniment on track one, and put a rendered audio version of the piano on track two. You will need to split this into individual chunks that you can work on, but first you need to understand how this works. You're probably going to get a few system messages saying words to the effect of 'this track is in use in your multitrack session, and what you're doing may screw up other things', but you can ignore those, as long as you start at the beginning and work forward, and don't redo any of the timing changes.
What happens with any file in Multitrack View is that it's not actually cut up at all, but selectively played in a non-destructive manner. In English, this means that there's just one file, but different bits of it can be started at different points (or even repeated), and you can do this in a very flexible manner. So apparently 'editing' the file in MV isn't really doing anything physical to it at all - just altering the way the file's played.
But, with your piano we may well need to lengthen bits of it (or even shorten them). And unfortunately, the only way to do this in CS5.5 is to open the file in Edit View (just double-click on it), select the bit you need to change by highlighting it, and using the Stretch and Pitch effect. If you use the iZotope Radius setting, you'll keep the best quality, but you're going to need to be very careful about how much alteration you do. Fortunately you can fine-tune this pretty accurately, although how small the segments will need to be rather depends upon how well you 'played' this. After doing some of this, you'll need to save the file you've been stretching in EV, and that, unfortunately, is a destructive process (ie not a replay-only thing, but a permanent change to the file). But that's why you have to move forward and not go back; going back and altering something will make a timing difference to everything you did afterwards. You may have to think about that for a while, but I'm sure you'll get it in the end!
I suppose that one way around this - and probably what I'd do - would be to make a number of smaller files of the piano part, and insert them separately. This way you get more options about changing things easily, because the changes will only alter small parts of what you're doing rather than the whole thing. Putting 'splits' in the files in multitrack is easy - there's a right-click option that will put a split at the cursor point in any highlighted file, and when you've done that you can move them apart by dragging them with the mouse. And it's this operation that you're going to have to get used to, because that's how you get the individual bits of file in the correct place WRT the orchestral file.
With the possible exception of the stretching part, this is actually easier to do than to describe. But anyway, that's the gist of it. Do some experiments with a bit of it and see how you get on.

Is it possible to remove the silence between the end of a track and the beginning of it's B-side?

There are a couple songs I've been unsure of purchasing on iTunes. a couple feature an A side and B side. These songs/tracks will have something of a 4 minute song, with something of a 3+ minute gap of pure silence continuing on with something of a 2+ minute B side. These tracks can be almost 9 minutes of length. I do not mind having both tracks on one file, as you can not find them separately to begin with, however I do mind the large gap in between the tracks. Is there a way I can edit this out within iTunes? By the way, I own a PC, not a Mac and use the most recent iTunes version available on the PC

What tracks?
You know the iTunes store doesn't just record direct from a cassette player?
I seriously doubt the tracks have the silence.
You can adjust start & stop times on tracks, so even if they did have silence you could simply workout when to stop the track. The Get info panel has the details in the 'options' tab.
It may be different for you on Windows, but I'm certain the feature exists, you may ned to look for it ion iTunes 12, this is from 11

When I run the cursor over a template it shows several pages but when i select the document it only brings up the first two pages to edit. How do I see them all?

When I run the cursor over a template it shows several pages but when i select the document it only brings up the first two pages to edit. How do I see them all?

Skimming the templates in the Template Chooser shows you all of the pages available in the template once you open it. You can insert the one(s) you want, even more than one of any of them. Most users don't want or need all of the different pages, especially when they start the document.

TS3274 Email display problem: My email only display the list of emails and a preview (first two lines of the body of the mail). If one click on the message it only shows the heading on the right hand side of the screen, but not the content.

My email only display the list of mails in my in box with a preview of the first two lines of the body of the message. When one clicks on the message to open it, only the header is displayed in the right hand side of the screen - the actual message is missing. This happens on older mail previously downloaded that use to work properly as well. Any idea how to fix this?

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Exporting sequence only resulted in first video track

I recently exported a sequence in PP CS6 that had two video tracks. The second track just had some Picture In Picture (PIP) shots. When I exported the sequence into a an .mp4 file, only the first video track was exported. Non of the PIP's from the second video track showed up on the new .mp4 file. Does any body know what may have caused this. I imagine it is something simple as I heve exported many videos with multiple tracks with no issues before.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your feed back. I imagine it would be something as simple as that as it seemed to be working fine for me last week. I am new to the software so it is possible that I dissabled the second track without even noticing it. If this would cause the second video track to not show up on an export file then that is probably the problem.
How would I confirm if a particular video track is enabled or disabled? Is it the button that looks like an eye that you enable/disable to view or not veiw the track in the program monitor, or is it a different toggle on/off button?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Why does Final Cut Pro change my title's baseline after the first two titles when exporting a master file?

Hey Guys,
I want to use a Zoom title (Titles -> Build In/Out -> Zoom). I only want the title, not a subtitle. So I insert Zoom's everywhere, type in my stuff for Line 1, delete the contents of Line 2, format it (font, tracking, etc.). Everything looks great in the Viewer. I let it render, then export a Master – same as source. I open the MOV, the first two titles are great. Then every title thereafter looks like someone changed the position by 100 pixels south of its original location.
Here's what I've done to troubleshoot it:
Removed all Zoom's, inserted new ones, removed the contents of Line 2 and left Line 1 alone (i.e. it still reads "Title"). When I export, everything's fine. The moment I change formatting or put in new copy in Line 1, same thing happens – every title changes position by 100 pixels down.
Downloaded Digital Rebellion's Preference Manager, trashed pref's/
I'm using a TTF with a bold type body only. Figured I'd leave it at Gill Sans Bold. Same thing happens as soon as I type something custom into Line 1.
I had a text style saved and removed it. (Which wasn't easy. Solution here.)
Has this ever happened to you?
Thanks!

Hey Jim,
Thanks for the follow-up. Here are some more details:
OS - 10.8.2
FCP X - 10.0.7
I can't update either of these because of my Avid installation.
Something else I didn't mention – this happens in a 4K project. Notice how a default Zoom title looks:
Lines 1 and 2 are almost stacked on top of each other.
Here's my title style:
Here's what the title looks after I apply the title style, modify Line 1, and remove the contents of Line 2:
And here's how it looks in the exported master file MOV:
Notice how it's pushed down?
Then I decided to make a 720p project. No more title problems.
So if you have some 4K footage, Jim, give it a go. Or if there's another 4K-er out there, try this and let me know.
Thanks!

TS1424 iTunes skip the first two songs of the album I just purchased from the iTunes Store?

Why does iTunes skip the first two songs of the album I just purchased from the iTunes Store?
I previously checked that the download was complete. (Had plenty of time, but checked nonetheless it was done.) I have closed and reopened iTunes several times. Frustrated.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
