Spectrasonics - White Noise, No Audio, and Audio/Midi Sync Sample issues

Just installed all of the spectrasonics software. Omnisphere, Trilogy, RMX, Atmosphere. Im getting very mixed results.
The patch plays, sometimes there's clicks. Then it goes to white noise. Then there's no output.
Thoughts? Thanks

I hear your point re Spectrasonics. Generally when you call a software specific provider, they tell you that they do not provide support for 3rd party software - e.g. Logic etc. Im not sure the troubleshooting is on the Spectrasonics side. Actually, all of them have worked succesfully at various points. Further, the white noise now comes and goes with EXS 24, Battery and others. So, it does not appear to be a problem that is specific only to Spectrasonics.
I use an Apogee Duet. I have tried different buffer settings (256 and 512) and that seems to help with certain apps. E.g. Kontakt appears to work better with less latency at 256. Spectrasonics, when it works appears to work better on 512.
Thanks

  • Process audio and use midi at the same time?

    I would like to use Mainstage to process my vibraphone and acoustic percussion while also using software instruments with a MalletKat and audio playback for backing tracks all at the same time. Is this possible? I have a 17" Mac Book Pro with 4 GB Ram and 2.66 speed.

    Absolutely....
    Create audio channels for the "live stuff", Instrument channels for the MIDI stuff, and use Playback for the backing tracks.

  • Lots of white noise from an M-Audio MobilePre

    I suppose I should have just returned it long ago, but the MobilePre interface that I use with GarageBand generates a lot of background white noise during recording. I've found lots of proposed fixes out there (changing latency back and forth, restarting GB, etc.) that have not helped me much, unfortunately. The unit itself seems to be inherently bad. I've got the newest driver installed, but the problem is still there. Sigh.
    I have a Shure PG57 mic plugged into the MobilePre...this wouldn't be the problem, would it?

    Thank you all for the prompt replies! I have played with the multitude of gains that I have. There is one on the unit itself, a software control panel gain, and then a few gains within GarageBand itself. I'm not sure which one of those would be considered the "main" gain, but I have been able to mostly reduce the fuzz. Unfortunately, this also makes for VERY quiet recording levels. A decent recording level always seems to come with significant buzz.
    I've also turned down the unused channel. That only helped somewhat.
    I'll probably have to learn to live with a slightly scratchy recording until I can afford to buy a better interface. Ho hum.

  • Recording Audio and Audio Instrument Tracks Simultaneously?

    Hi all,
    sometimes i'll leave an audio track armed (which my synth is hooked up to), while playing keys on an audio instrument track, and it usually creates some incredible textures. Every time I try to record the two at the same time, it never works. Is it in any way possible to record audio and virtual instrument tracks at the same time? Would it matter that I have the same synth hooked up as both (I use audio tracks for the synth, and MIDI for the virtual instruments)? Many thanks!

    Thanks for the responses! I'm actually able to arm both an audio and a virtual instrument track at the same time, and I hear both playing over each other. But as soon as I begin recording, I notice that only the virtual instrument track is recording what i'm playing. Any way around this?

  • How to make a movie of a presentation keeping audio and pictures in sync

    How can I synch slides and audio (the audios are different lengths) in a presentation and turn it into a video.
    Each slide should stay in place until the audio has finished (the audio's are slightly different lengths).
    I've tried using a free trial of "Adobe Presenter" but I couldn't seem to make a movie of my presentation.
    I will consider purchasing the software that will do this for me as I have  a few presentations I want to make and convert to movie format for my colleagues to watch (this is to help in a teaching environment).
    Is there a program that will let me match up my audios and slides in the correct order and synch them so the audios do not move beyond the slide for which they are intended? Any help much appreciated with this problem.

    Hi,
    The slide duration in presenter is automatically adjusted according to the time of the audio inserted on that slide.
    How are you inserting audio on slide ? Recording or inserting  using presenter option ?
    You cannot create a movie format like avi, mp4 etc
    But you may publish the presenttaion in the swf format which will play in a browser or a swf player. To play in the broswer you just need to have Adobe Flash Player installed on your system. It will play like a movie in the broswer.
    Let me know if you need some more help
    Thanks,

  • Audio and Video not sync (1ms difference) help.

    Hi Guys,
    I used an external recorder to record the audio of a training session. Since the results of that audio is much clearer than the echoy audio from my video camera, I decided to use it.
    But I find it hard to match the video and audio together, even using Pluraleyes. There's a slight mis-sync in the audio/video no matter how I tried to shift them in the timeline (+/- 00.00.01s). Is there any way to be more precise than what I did?
    Please help thanks!

  • Photo Booth - audio and video not syncing

    I was making some videos on Photo Booth and the audio doesn't start playing until 5 seconds after the video starts! Do you know if there is any way to fix this or is it a software issue? I have tried resetting the computer but it didn't help.
    Thanks for your help!

    In Photo Booth, right-click on the video and either Export or Reveal in Finder. Either way, then open and play it with QuickTime. Is audio and video still out of sync?

  • Please help with audio and video not syncing.

    I'm using Encore 3, and have already authored a DVD a month ago without a glitch. The following are the same steps I used, but this time around, the video and audio in Encore are not syncing.
    Here's what I've done.
    1) I export my Final Cut projects to .mov using the following settings (Share > Master File).
    Format: Video and Audio
    Video codec: H.264
    Resolution: 1920x1080
    Audio file format: Quicktime Movie (AAC)
    Include chapter markers: Unchecked
    Roles as: Quicktime Movie
    2) I run the .mov file in Compressor using the "Disc Burning" preset.
    3) I then import the .ac3 and .m2v files that Compressor created into Encore.
    4) In Encore, I select both files and go to New > Timeline.
    In the Timeline window, the durations on both are the same. But I don't understand why the audio and video are not synced when I preview or when I burn a test DVD. The audio comes in just a tad late.
    Video Clip:
    Source In: 00;00;00;00
    Duration: 00;02;33;29
    In-Point: 00;00;00;00
    Out-Point: 00;02;33;29
    Audio Clip:
    Source In: 00;00;00;00
    Duration: 00;02;34;00
    In-Point: 00;00;00;00
    Out-Point: 00;02;34;00
    What's puzzling is that two of the 10 videos I've import to Encore are synced perfectly -- same export settings from FCP, same settings Compressor.
    Please help.
    Thanks!
    Mark

    Hi Mark.
    Do you have any situations where there is more than one video file in a timeline?
    Secondly - why are you using H264 HD files for a DVD? This is using lossy compression to make the H264, which is in turn then scaled & even further bitrate reduced for M2V.
    I would give it a try rendering an SD video file for use in Encore - not the H264 - and starting out with Dolby Digital or LPCM audio, not AAC.
    As with all DVD authoring programs, Encore works best with DVD compliant assets - which you are most definitely using - but I still think you are over-complicating things by using H264/AAC at all.
    Eliminating this may help.

  • White noise after bounce and copying to another project

    hello
    I composed some film music in one project and then bounced it and dragged to a another project (the film with sound effects). The track works fine when 'solo' but when I play all sounds (sound effects, video preview and film music) I get this random white noise/hissing every now and then. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    don't worry I've figured it out, bounced it as m4a and it works perfectly!

    I have tried like many other people to re-install itunes the latest version 9.02 (i think). I have also ran the diagnsotic check from itunes and that just shows that no Ipod is connected. Itunes itself runs and downloads ok.

  • Audio and video not sync

    Hi I'm having trouble with my records, i just shoot two videos for my vlogg and one was fine and the next one the audio is not sync with the video, didnt change any settings so dont understand wha happened. can some one help me fix this. thanks

    Using the inbuilt camera on your MacBook Pro can result in audio not syncing with the video, due to the variable frame rate used by the camera.

  • Audio and Video not syncing

    I paid for a movie and I can't watch it on either iTunes or QuickTime and, yes, I tried most of those helps in that FAQ post. I say most because this is the most advanced comp money could buy so I do NOT need hardware OR software updates, seeing how I did the latter before finally giving in to ***** at you. Yes I am mad. I'm highly annoyed. I paid money I could ill afford to spend on a movie I really was looking forward to watching ("A Dog's Breakfast" starring David Hewlett) only to find that it won't play!
    Or rather, it plays, but the video skips and is out of sync with the audio. The help files in the "support" tap and the "Help" sections of both programs have been supremely unhelpful. Either refund me my money, or tell me how to fix this so I can watch this. Why people say Macs and Apple are better than Windows, I'll never know. At least with Windows you know you'll get screwed over.
    I realize this flame-ish piece has no made me popular and will likely be ignored, but I've earned it, dammit. Multiple times iTunes even CRASHED MY LAPTOP when I tried to make it play the movie. Blue screen of death!! Considering this laptop is less than six months old, that is not something I was expecting to see!
    So, please, either tell me how to get a refund or how to fix that damned program so it shows my movie.

    Some basic information is necessary.
    Captured it from what to what with what for what with what sequence settings in what program and using what cam.
    I think you understand that without some detail how can we guess at what the problem is.

  • Fix found: Broadcom drivers, Firewire audio and audio glitches

    Hi,
    I've been working with MOTU (Mark of the Unicorn) trying to get my 828mk3 firewire audio device to work properly under Vista 64-bit in Boot camp (note I had same problems with 32-bit version).
    The problem was that I would get audio glitches in the form of beeps from my audio device every 30s-1:30s. Each glitch would last about 1s (@10000Hz). After many tests, I discovered when I disabled the Broadcom driver (latest MacBookPro5,1 distributed version), the problem went away.
    Does anyone know why a Wifi adapter could affect a Firewire 400 device? Note I had the same problem with my old MacBook3,1.. so the problem is not related to the new MBP.
    Anyways, I hope someone fixes the Broadcom driver; never-the-less, if you have this problem, this is your solution
    Thank you,
    Michael

  • Audio and Video not synced P205-S6337

    The audio on my P205-S6337 runs about 3-5 seconds behind the video.  I have checked on the Toshiba downloads and upgrade pages and found nothing that addresses this problem.  Any ideas from all you more computer savy folks out there?  Thanks in aadvance for any pointers.

    Um ... some useful data?
    OS/CPU/RAM/GPU/vRAM ... version of PrPro ... and other programs or plugi-ins/3rd-party apps involved ... footage type/codec/wrapper ... such things would be very useful.
