Streaming audio - buffering mid-stream

Is it possible to jump through an mp3 file without
downloading the entire
file (start buffering halfway through)? Is this only possible
with Flash
Server or some alternative? I'd like to stream audio similar
to how youtube
works.
Thank you.

Check your internet connection speeds. My speed is way lower than it should be. Like more than 10x slower in OSX than in Win7 on the same iMac. I think the problem is there. Try speedtest.net to see what you get. Run it immediately after booting and then try running it again. I get a fast initial run and then it drops to a fraction of that initial speed. Almost like a buffer or something fills up and then slows everything down. So far I have not figured this one out.

  • ERROR while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI but I'm NOT using ANY midi

    So as the heading says... i hit playback, and I get that error message. but the thing is, i do not have ANY midi recorded, nor am i trying to play any back, no midi instruments loaded, nor any midi tracks at all, AND I do not even have any midi gear hooked up.
    also, it is saying that sample rate 44100 recognized but for one, the session is set and locked in to 96khz. with the computor as master for mlan to the O2R. with no other audio gear even hooked up. so where would it even be getting 44100 from??
    also, this with only playing back 7 tracks with a 10k rpm drive. so that isn't the problem.

    I get this audio/midi sync error from time to time, and have never found a good explanation. I, too, have disconnected midi devices, etc. Its frustrating because it comes and goes, and when it comes it stops playback.I wish someone had a definitive answer on what might be causing this. Sorry I can't help...
    The message is a bit of a misnomer (or is it?) in the sense that if there is no MIDI, it's obviously not Audio & MIDI that are out of sync. All audio/MIDI sequencers that I'm aware of internally sync MIDI to Audio. MIDI timing is taken from the audio driver/sample-rate otherwise MIDI would be free floating and locked to the computers clock rather than the audio stream. In a sense... there's always MIDI. When this error pops up it just means the internal relationship between The Audio stream/sample rate and and MIDI timing has exceeded an error threshold. It's most often caused by a blip in the audio stream. It can also (rarely) be caused by MIDI drivers and or MIDI errors,
    Possible causes: bad audio drivers, a rogue plugin, a processor spike, a corrupted song, Logic sync settings, some other computer process going on,
    MIDI Clock being sent out on all channels, plus a bunch of other reasons I've long forgotten.
    Oh, "the audio interface". MOTU devices often need to be reset if they're left plugged in during an OS upgrade, or Logic upgrade.
    Note: if you have a firewire audio interface. Before any OS upgrade or and major app upgrade. Unplug the firewire cable and turn the interface off. OS upgrades initialize the firewire ports and it can play havoc with some firewire audio units.

  • Error Trying to Sync Audio and MIDI - Please Help!

    Hey everyone, I know this is a fairly common problem, and I've tried following the Logic Help and manual, but it hasn't solved it.
    Last night, I was recording and mixing with my MOTU 828mkII into my Powerbook G4 running Logic Pro 6.4, and everything was working perfectly. Today, when I opened up Logic again to work on mixing the song I recorded last night, after not having changed a single preference anywhere, something bizarre happened. When I clicked the play button, the song began playing, but no sound came out, except for a high-pitched digital howling sound, and after about 5 seconds, an error message came up saying, "Error Trying to Sync Audio and MIDI." I tried other song files I'd recorded months ago, and even with brand new song files, and the same exact problem occurred!
    Apparently, it's a discrepancy in the sample rates between my MOTU and Logic? But both have been set to 44.1 for months, and I haven't changed anything. The Logic Help said to change the Sync Mode to MTC Continuous (which I believe it was already set to) or MTC Trigger/ASD (which didn't help).
    I even tried re-installing Logic altogether, and changing the sample rates both on my MOTU and Logic to 48 and then back to 44.1, and nothing works.
    Please help me! What should I do?
    Thanks very much,
    TB

    I suffered from this problem, and it was particularly frustrating to me since I was not even using MIDI, or so I thought. The "Error Trying to Sync Audio and MIDI" message seemed to crop up just as I was ready to print a final mix.
    I did some research and learned that the Logic automation is actually MIDI data, furthermore, I learned that The sample accurate automation feature in Logic Audio results in randomly sized audio buffers being passed to plug-ins.
    My solution?
    Turn OFF "sample accurate automation" in the menu Logic Pro / Preferences / Audio...
    The automation is very accurate even with this option disabled.

  • "Error while trying to sync Audio and Midi"

    "Error while trying to sync Audio and Midi" I have been having this problem now and then for some time. Now, I can't run any audio files without a lot of popping. I tried all the suggestions on the support document for this issue. I even downloaded new drivers from Motu for my Express XT Midi interface and my 828MK11 Audio interface. There has been no change. HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!!
    Also, I have tried reseting the 828 to factory default and that does not help.
    Jonathan Jenkins

    Hi,
    I solved my own problem by resetting the factory presets:
    Follow these steps to restore the MOTU 828mkII to Factory Default Settings.
    Disconnect the firewire cable from the 828mkII
    Press the Setup knob
    Turn the Setup knob all the way to the right
    Press the Select knob
    Press the Value knob
    Power off the interface and plug the firewire cable back in
    Power the interface back on
    The same steps can be followed to restore the Factory Default Settings on a Traveler.

  • "Error While Trying To Synchronise Audio And Midi"...non-tempo event found

    "Error While Trying To Synchronise Audio And Midi"...non-tempo event found
    now when I shutdown Logic And relaunch the Project, the notes hang and "WHAT THE FRIIGIN"
    (this was a bug way back when Logic7 was first released)
    this is bad!
    SvK

    Thanks Steven.
    big help. In our session we keep getting this problem where the song counter stops, the music keeps playing and we get an error message saying:
    Non Tempo-Event found in Sync Reference
    We looked in the tempo list and somehow there was a tempo event of 0.00 tempo in there.
    We deleted it, got the same error message, but the prob seems to be fixed.
    Apple, please fix this!
    Thanks

  • Audio and Midi Jumping/Swithching Tracks in Arrange Window

    I've had an issue with audio and Midi information switching tracks in the arrange window. Granted, I'm new with Logic. But as I'm working in an audio Track (let's say track 3), I happen to undo a record pass or delete something, and the next thing I know, all the tracks have jumped up one -- so the Midi drums in track 10 are in nine, playing the piano insert. The Midi Piano is up in 8 doing nothing (because track 8 is an audio track), etc. etc. etc. Very annoying -- even when the tracks are frozen.
    Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I've had this happen in the past.
    What version of Logic are you working on?

  • "error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI"

    Hello All,
    Just got Logic 8... installed (as upgrade from 7)
    I keep (consistantly) getting this:
    "error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI" when in play or record mode... has anyone any ideas regarding a 'fix' or maybe even to point out stupidity on my part re settings; I'm open to comments here and would obviously love to get this fixed/sorted out.
    System is basically: G5 Dual 1.8/OS 10.4.10/MOTU 828 Mk2
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I first did what the manual was telling me but that made no difference as the sync would drop within 5 to 15 bars... very frustrating.
    Since my original posting I have spoken with MOTU regarding this Audio/MIDI sync problem. There is evidently a simple reset that needs to be done (that is if like me you are using a MOTU 828 Mk2 interface), you have to toggle through both digital input and output settings in the Audio Control Panel. The problem then goes away.
    I hope that is helpful. I think that this probably is relevant to all MOTU interfaces, or is at least worth trying if you are having this problem... maybe other manufacturers too... ?
    Cheers, Kick

  • Recording Audio and Midi at the same time in Logic 7 Express Can it be done

    I am wondering if I can record audio and midi at the same time in Logic 7 Express. I am running my guitar thrugh a Roland GR 33, and a line out and using the GR 33 to trigger sounds in the Logic's synth section but cant seem to record all three tracks at once. If any one knows how let me know. Oh and I am running the GR Synth and Guitar into the Prosonus Fire Fox and have the GR 33 out midi to the Fire Box as well. So I guss the question is how do I sent up two audo tracks and one midi track to record in real time. Thanks Victor

    Try arming the audio tracks, select one of the tracks, then while holding down the shift key, select the midi track you want to record, arming the "r" on the midi track. Press "record".....

  • How do I bounce audio and midi tracks at the same time to burn a CD?

    Hi there,
    I would like to bounce a song with both audio and midi tracks recorded in it onto a CD.
    Despite ensuring that I am doing a realtime bounce (not offline) I am only getting the audio tracks burnt onto the CD - the midi isn't getting bounced to the final output.
    This must be a stupid question, if someone would be so kind as to give me an obvious answer I would be most grateful.
    Thankin y'all
    amata

    Hi A,
    if you use the instrument (with logic virtual synths) tracks for midi,
    it will.
    BTW, why don't you do it offline?
    It will be so much faster.
    Kindly regards,
    Jorge

  • Error message trying to synchronise audio and midi sample rate 42463

    I have a Rode Podcaster mic that is terrific. It has been working fine in GB. suddenly I am getting this when I try to record my podcast:
    'Error message trying to synchronise audio and midi sample rate 42463 recognised. Check conflict between Garageband and external device'
    Has anyone experienced this before? How do I resolve it? I'm still using my Version 6.0.5.
    Apple, is this a way of forcing me to upgrade to V10?

    Just click the icon on each track that stops it acting as a live input. It looks like a sound wave. Only have them clicked orange when using the track to record! I don't know if that will solve your problem!

  • Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI.  Sample rate 42804 recognized.  Check conflict between Garageband and external device.

    Sometimes, while playing back my software instrument songs, I get an intermittent pop-up error message, saying "Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI.  Sample rate 42804 recognized.  Check conflict between Garageband and external device."
    (Sometimes the five digit number is different, but remains a five-digit number beginning with "4".)
    Simultaneously, the song stops until I press the "Okay" button in the pop-up window.
    When I continue to play the song, the sound is jerky and clipped, and the playhead doesn't keep up with the song, and then suddenly jumps to the part of the song currently being played.
    There's also a sound of static.
    The issue seems to occur whether or not I have my MIDI controller turned on and plugged into my desktop Imac.

    plz help me i cant hear nothing and its says: Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI.
    Sample Rate 38536 recognized.
    Check conflict between Logic Pro X and external device. ????????   PLZ HELP

    It means you are overtaxing the CPU, likely with just one (3rd party-)software instrument plugin. Ignore the word "external", in this context it often means "3rd party plugin".
    So what synth is it? Since you're Dutch, it's probably one of the trancy dancy synths, such as Albino, Diva, Sylenth or Massive... I could be wrong though...
    The best way to avoid this message is to Freeze the track with the guilty synner - however, a frozen track cannot be edited, so if that is a problem, you will have to make the synth itself run lighter, which can be achieved by turning of internal effects that are ON the synth itself, especially reverb.

    When I press record a message appears saying 'error while trying to syncronise audio and MIDI, sample rate 39100 recognised. Check conflict between garage band and external device. I'm using a Behringer UMC-202 interface. The inputs are selected as the device but no audio is present either.

  • Error while trying to synchronise audio and midi

    Hi
    Logic worked all day and suddenly start giving this message:
    error while trying to synchronise audio and midi.
    Nothing was changed and we also have no sound.
    We don't have any midi device, its just the G5 and Logic installed.
    Any idea how to solve this issue.
    Jeanne

    Howdo
    Someone else has been having this problem and I've tried to help 'cos it used to happen to me too. Try adjusting your I/O buffer level in your Logic Audio Driver preferences - raise it a bit higher and the problem should go away. Problem is you get more latency. (I'm assuming it's set lower than 512, but not knowing your audio hardware... and your not using internal audio are you???)

  • How to solve: Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI.

    The project consists of an hour long DVD of a play which I have loaded into Logic ( on a MacbookPro) and stripped the audio
    and cut it up into regions  to name the different parts of the play ( verse/music etc)
    Usually I am able to play the project with a small window showing the Movie and watching the audio in the back ground adding markers and notes.
    Most of the time this works fine.. but then I get the following message re-occurring every few seconds:
    "Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI.
    Sample Rate 26848 recognized.
    Check conflict between Logic Pro and external device"
    There is no MIDI, there is no external device, the Sample Rate is the usual 44.1
    Can anyone explain how to stop getting this error message which keeps interrupting workflow?
