Sound getting chewed and distorted by AE

Hello folks,
Thanks as always for your help.
I am an Ae novice. I imported an Mpeg4 file into Ae with sound and applied some visual effects. The sound in the Mpeg4 is great, but by the time I apply a RAM Preview it is distorted - playing too early, and skipping like a broken tape. I don't have the sound file separately as it is cut up and positioned carefully in Adobe Pr. What can I do? Or, what is going wrong?
Thanks
Andy

That's helpful to know for the future also. Glad to get it working, uploading it to youtube now

HF-300 Sound Quality - Loudness and Distortion

Hi,
Just wondering if anybody has any comparative testing on the sound quality and loudness with this unit. I am not sure if mine is faulty or just the best that can be expected from the speakerphone.
Problem is (tested using n95 8 gig and n80) that once the volume is turned up to 70% or more the units sound is distoted terribly. Sounds like the speaker is vibrating and crackling. The symptom is like when you turn up the volume on any speaker beyond its capability which then gets that distortion/vibration effect.
That said when used below 70% volume its too soft to be useable for everyday driving conversations.
Golden question if you own the HF-300 also is can you put it on 100% volume and have loud and clear sound without any negative sound quality? May help if you mention what phone model you have tested youyr with also.
I really think it must be a fault as everything marketed and reviewd about these units states 'loud n clear'. Surely its meant to be used on 100% also without such distortion or why have 100% volume possible.

Sorry to ask again but is the car kit installed with an additional single Nokia speaker or is all audio played through the car audio system (original car speakers)?
Most likely in the second case is that the installer has routed the audio incorrectly.
The kit has two outputs: stereo for music and mono for calls. Mono calls can be installed to run through the single Nokia speaker but musics should be installed to run throught the car stereo 'aux in' channel, hence the question about what audio is distorted.

My phone was making a hissing sound gets hot and wont get service

Phone was making odd hissing noise that sounded like it was coming from the charging port. The back ofvthephonevgets warm and the phone will not connect or get a signal.... It's new I've only had it for 2 weeks.

If the phone really is only two weeks old, there probably is a problem with it that is not your fault. Bring it into the Apple Store and explain your issue to them and they will more than likely offer you a new phone. Bring it in soon though, before you have it in your posession for too much longer.

Mavericks Sound gets loud and soft

10.9.5 Retina Display 2.7GHz 16GB
In the past week my volume suddenly gets 50% to 70% louder and after a few moments it returns to the original sound. This happens two or three time in an hour.
Has any one experienced this? If so how can I fix it?

Sound too loud and distorted from capture

It seems that for some reason when I capture video from my Sony PD170 DV camera, that the sound captured is way too loud on the timeline, even though it reads acceptable on the waveforms and the green lights that go up and down.
My last capture an hour ago, from the timeline, the sound was crakely listening through the computer speaker and headphones. I then listened through headphones directly from the original tape in the camera and it sounded ok.
Any suggestions? A problem with the compouter or a setting I need to adjust in FCP for capturing video?
At System Preferences/Sound the input volume is at half set from the internal mic.

I tried a capture from a friends camera and FCP system. Same problem on time line. Random pencil thin blank spots on the audio wave form. So it must be on the tape. Maybe bad tape, electronic interference in recording room or some camera problem recording. Used two separate wireless lavs. Drop-out in exactly same place on both channels could rule out room interference because of different frequency lavs.
I did short analogue test copy from PD170 to Trv-900 and it eliminated the drop-out. So I am now making full copy to substitute in time line.
I also think that the sound coming in with the capture is too loud and that's the possible problem, but can't figure how to change the level on a capture. Even though the waveform and meter after capture look ok, it still seems pretty loud. The audio control in the Log And Capture/Clip Settings is greyed out at 1.

Qosmio X770 sound is crackly and distorted

Hi,
Anything I listen to, be it music or dialogue the sounds crackles and nearly stops and just doesn't seem to be working correctly. I have no idea if this is because of one of my settings and is easily fixed or I should take it back? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Snooks.

This is for sure a Mickey Mouse notebook!
The speakers (especially the subwoofer) have some kind of background noise, even the volume is off or I plug something in the output jack.
However I noticed if I plug the USB devices on the LHS, the noise disappears.
I haven't this problem in the beginning or I havent notice that, anyways who knows something overheated in the meantime.

I have just added new CD (Rod Stewart Unplugged) to iTunes. It sounds awful - crackly and distorted - when played back thorugh my laptop and on iPod Classic. The CD sounds great on my CD player. (Other CD record fine onto iTunes). How can i fix this?

i have just added a new Cd to iTunes on my laptop and then transferred to iPod classic (CD: Rod Stewart Unplugged). When playing back on the laptop or iPod the recording sounds awful - very crackly. On the Cd player it sounds fine. What is the problem and how can it be fixed? (Otherr CDs record fine onto iTunes)

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a loook at the troublehooting found in the article below.

Terribly filtered, and distorted sound from iTunes.

My songs will play in iTunes, but they sound heavily filtered, and distorted. I tried playing the same original files from the original folders with multiple other media players, and had no problems. I thought I had done something when I was doing some batch editing for genre, eq, and volume settings, so I re-synced my iPod, to see if it inherited the same sound problems. Everything sounds fine, with the iPod, but for some reason, the iTunes software is distorting the sound. I've been through all of the menus, but have not come accross anything that I feel would possibly solve the problem. I even went back, and reset the volume, genre, and eq settings I adjusted for the tracks, still no help.
What's worse...the next day, I loaded it up, and everything was working again. I had some other stuff to do in my studio, and decided to come back later. When I returned...everything sounded all whacked again!!
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I don't usually post comments, or questions, in forums. feel free to email me, at [email protected]
Thanks,
Figment.

I can hear both a clean sound and distortion at the same time.

I can hear both a clean sound and distortion through my monitors and headphones. I am playing into a Presonus USB and directly into a MacBook Pro. Any idea how I can get rid of the clean sound?

You probably have a mix knob on your interface that switches between dry and wet signal. The knob should mix the signals.

Sound clicking and distortion with X

Anyone else having sound clicking and distortion with their X-Fi Card? Its rare in most games, but I have a couple games where its very common Eve-Online for example. I have a X-Fi Fatalty FPS.

Using Asio4All will introduce a higher latency than using Creative X-Fi ASIO / Bit-Matched -mode, so the later is recommended. If you get distortion make sure that your volume is not turned up to max, it should be around 0db in the mixer, which corresponds to about 80%. If you get cracks/pops then it's due to the bad performance of the ASIO drivers of the X-Fi. The latest beta also says to remove cracks/pops and some distortion problems in audio creation mode, maybe try them.
Again, here is a list of real latencies as measured on my own system, using the latest stable driver (not the beta one):
Rate = sample-rate
Comp = latency compensation in ms (by how much the real latency differs from what the application/driver reports
Low = lowest no of buffers (in samples) that I was able to use
Real = real measured latency (in contrast to what the application/drivers reports)

IMovie HD sound gets distorted

I have a few teachers who have made iMovies using iMovieHD. When you play the movie in full screen mode after about 5 minutes the sound gets distorted. I thought that this was just an isolated incident and that the movie was corrupt, but now I have two teachers, two computers same issue.
These are being done on MacBooks 10.5.6 with 1G RAM and they have not been converted to quicktime yet. Since iMovie HD is easier for my staff they use it rather than new '08 7.1.4.
Is that the issue?

Hi
a. What kind of audio used ? .aiff, .mp3, from iTunes etc.
b. Any external hard disk used ? Formatted as ? USB or FireWire ?
else General troubleshooting list.
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Garageband-fix. Start it and Close it. Re-try
• Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
iMovie pref file resides:
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named: com.apple.iMovie.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
• Program miss-match: iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
• Program miss-match: iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match: iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Screen must be set to Million-colors
From LKN 1935: (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

XP startup sound loud and distorted when EQ is enab

I have a Soundblaster Li've! 24-bit card and, when I enable the equalizer, my Windows XP startup wav is super loud and distorted, but everything else sounds fine. Turn the eq off and the startup sound is normal again.

Hmm, enable your EQ, but in the mixer for volume turn it down a notch and also turn the wave volume down a notch as well. If you have it at 00% you can get distortion. Set Main Volume and Wave volume to about 90 % and see if that hel

After 5 minutes, all sound goes all grainy and distorted PLEASE HELP!!

Hello people,
After 5 minutes, all sound goes all grainy and distorted!! Using Logic Pro 8.
This happens especially if I crank the speakers semi-loud. This is not a problem with the speakers as Itunes plays perfectly. I have no idea why this is happening! The problem disappears when I restart Logic only to reappear again 5 minutes later.
The sound goes super grainy and I cant really make out anything. Is Logic overloading the sound card or something? Although this never happened before and it is a Tascam US-144, usually very good.
If anyone knows why this is happening I'd really appreciate some help.
Thank you, all the best!!
Tristan

Hello and thank you for your time! The speakers I do believe are active in that they have their own power source. They are Behringer MS40's. The headphones indeed also suffer the graininess, any sound that comes out of the sound card via Logic!
At the moment the buffer is at maximum of 1024 with a large Process Buffer Range as it runs more smoothly this way. Does it help if I change this? Is there any other settings I can try changing which may realistically fix the problem? Unfortunately the technical side is not my forte, being a songwriter rather than a producer.
Yes Itunes also plays via the Tascam with perfect results!
Unfortunately, this distorted sound and graininess happens with every Logic project, the more Audio tracks it seems, the more frequently.
You have been very kind, thank you. If you have any ideas of how I can fix this then please do let me know.
PS. Something I noticed is that this started happening after some guy screamed into the Mic for a laugh whilst recording and the project instantly crashed. I do believe there is a connection between the Audio tracks and the grainiess rather than the MIDI tracks.
Sometimes I can get a good 15/20 minutes of working time before the sound becomes distorted again! Which is what I've been doing these past 2 days.
All the best,
Tristan

My i phone 4 screen suddenly starts showing funny and distorted images then goes blank. how do i get the screen back to normal.?

my i phone screen starts blinking and showing funny and distorted images before going blank. now it's blank,how do i get it back to normal.?

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data, but a reset can cure some glitches.
If this does not work, try to set it up as new device, explained in this article:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
Don't use the backup afterwards, to rule out a software problem. If the camera is working again, restore from the backup.
