Sudden noise inturuptions

Hi, I just upgraded from logic pro 7 to logic studio 9 and all my old logic 7 sessions get blasts of noise on an quad core mac pro / rme ff800 / snow leopard on logic 9.1.1. and 9.1.3
I suspect this is incompatibility issues with logic and the drivers under snow leopard because I attempted to run logic 7 and had the same frequency
of noise bursts when I tried to run it on leopard ( but no problems whatsoever in tiger.)
The strange thing is the noise blasts keep coming every four seconds on some sessions and 7 to 8 seconds on others, regardless of in playback or not.
All other audio seems to work fine such as itunes,garage band and audio plugins in standalone modes.
Please can you provide me with a solution to this so I can get back to work ?
Thanks

It's not the plugins because I don't use demos and my plugins work fine unless I want to use them in an older saved file as previously mentioned. They also work fine in garage band. The issue is all my work (thousands of hours) is in those older files.
What exactly are my options here because I paid for snow leopard and logic 9 updates but it appears they are incompatible ?
What exactly is causing the white noise bursts, logic, leopard or the combination of the two ?
Thanks and regards,
Eric

  • Beach Ball of Death, Dark Gray Screen after Clean OS ReInstall- Please Help

    My 13" MBP is less than two months old.
    I read online somewhere that a company that buys large quantities of Macs has a strategy for combating the industry standard 5% hard drive failure in new notebooks. It said something along the lines of performing a clean install / reformat of OS X was a good idea to see if any problems arise- then the HD would likely have problems in the near future, etc...
    Being the nerd that I am I performed a clean install on my MBP. I had just performed one the day before on my other Mac (which worked perfectly).
    First of all, my MBP took roughly 15 minutes to boot from the disk (to begin the reinstall). Actually one time I gave it over 20 minutes and it never did load. Once I finally got to the Language select screen it froze, clicking the continue arrow did nothing and I couldn't even choose another language. So I shut down and tried again. The DVD doesn't look scratched. Is my drive less than stellar?
    This time, it worked, albeit, it took much longer to install than my lesser powered Mac Mini. OS X notified me that the installation was successful and that it now simply needed to restart. Upon restart I was greeted with a dark gray screen and mouse cursor spinning beach ball (that responded to trackpad).
    Shut down, turned it back on- same thing. Tried a bunch more times, no luck.
    Called Apple Care and after a few questions / tips we concluded that it needed to be sent in, the associate imagined it was a HD problem.
    I took my MBP to a local authorized service provider and they took it, and called me back in a few hours. I asked what they did to fix it, and they skillfully dodged the question. They said it should be good now, that it passed all hardware tests, but to let them know if it happened again.
    Since then it's been running okay. As a nerd it's a bit bothersome to know that I can't perform a clean install when I see fit- and that if I did, I'd have to take it into Apple Care again in the future, and once Apple Care runs out than a clean install just isn't an option.
    It boots up just as fast, but when it gets passed the white screen with the Apple logo... when the desktop is loading I noticed that it stays at the flash of the solid blue desktop a bit longer than usual (the second before it loads your desktop bg image). It also seems that fully loading all of the top right menu bar items takes a bit longer than before.
    Also, not sure if the hard drive's sudden motion sensor is going haywire. But randomly, the hard drive will make a singular faint "thud / click" noise. Very faint. But it's not your usual "reading data from the HD" hard drive thrashing noise you hear when you open an app / file. It's a single, more sudden noise, but like I said it is fairly quiet- I hear it when I have literally nothing running except this Safari window. This is something I didn't notice the first few weeks with the MBP.
    Also in system profiler, the battery's condition was never good, but only "Normal." I did calibrate my battery one of the first days I had it.
    Here's some coconutBattery info:
    Current Battery Capacity: 5588 mAh
    Original Battery Capacity: 5770 mAh
    Which is 96%.
    Load cycles: 10
    Anyways, curious if anyone has any ideas about my inability to perform a clean install and successfully boot up? I don't see any reason why it should have taken THAT long to boot from the disk, frozen in several random spots throughout, and then not be able to boot up.
    The HD noises aren't a huge deal just a bit concerning, and admittedly the battery info is just nerdy paranoia. Just curious what's going on with my MBP. Is there anything I can do, or should read?

    Hi simplecoder13,
    I perform a similar process on all the HDs that I buy, only I take it a step further. I'll run a single pass erase on drives under 500GB and a seven pass erase on drives larger than 500GB and ones that are deemed "mission critical." Here's an interest metric, though.
    Since 01/01/10 on laptop drives (Seagate, Western Digital, Hitachi)
    +HDs purchases - 461+
    +Drives > 500GB - 119+
    +Drives < 500GB - 342+
    +Drives that fail zero test - 13+
    +Drives that pass zero test, fail within 30 days - 2+
    +Drives that pass zero test, fail within 60 days - 0+
    +Drives that pass zero test, fail within 90 days - 3+
    +Drives that pass zero test, fail within 180 days - 4+
    +Total drive failures within 6 months - 22 (4.77%) ~ 5%+
    I don't have a manufacturer break down, I suppose I should start logging that more closely. Anyway...
    I have a new MacBook Pro (13" @ 2.4GHz) and booting off the installation disc, from selecting the installer disc via the boot manager to the language selection screen is ~ 6 mins and 44 seconds. I use that as an average, I did it over 10 restarts but it was a pretty fair assessment. The fact that the installer is freezing is definitely cause for alarm, that's not normal or to be expected. Process of elimination would tell me the following:
    1.) The disc is bad
    2.) The optical drive is bad
    My understanding of the installer is the HD isn't initially accessed during the installer until you choose an install location (at which point it's mount point is verified).
    Regarding the battery, your full charge capacity is going to bounce around the first couple of months, usually anywhere from 250-400 mAh. I noticed sporadic reporting until I reached the 50 cycle mark (or around 6 months based on usage). That being said, I don't see any problems or cause for alarm with the information you've reported.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500A Periodically resets itself

    About every 20 minutes the screen on my HP Officejet Pro 8500A goes blank, then redisplays, followed by the carriage shifting sounding like the printer is resetting itself to print a job.  I'm set up on a WiFi connection and have no screen blanking set.  This resetting is VERY disconcerting as it happens with no warning.  How can I stop this periodic reset?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi HevnLgh,
    I completed all of the steps you recommended and they did not solve the problem.  However two days later the problem has disappeared.
    The problem was not that the printer was powering off.  Also it was not connected to a computer in any manner other than WiFi, though it did have a phone line connection to send/receive FAXes.  The printer display was blanking for a few seconds, followed by redisplay and carriage movement that sounded just like when it was getting ready to print.  However no printout resulted, nor was there any print job pending.
    Now the display goes dim periodically for a few seconds, but comes back on.  However there is no longer any carriage movement or other noises.  Since the sudden noise was always the annoying factor I'm satisfied that the issue is resolved.

  • Unable to use camera with MBP in cradle?

    Happy New Year,
    Posting this for my Dad, who finally saw the light and dove headfirst into the world of Mac: appears he is having trouble getting the camera on his 24" ACD to operate when connected to his cradled MBP. We're trying to use Skype or iChat AV, and though he can see me, I can't see him. Audio works fine, and we confirmed the mic on the ACD is being used when the USB is plugged in.
    To isolate the problem, I had him disconnect his MBP USB cable from the display to operate the MBP as a stand alone laptop. We disconnected, he woke up his laptop after he opened it, I called him back, and voila- I was able to see and hear him fine on the MBP (green light is lit). He can also successfully see himself in PhotoBooth using either the laptop alone or with the ACD, so no problem there.
    I read through a related post (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10425681&#10425681) and two embedded Apple Support articles on the use of the camera, but before we pull the ol' SMC reset I want to make SURE I haven't overlooked something obvious. I know it shouldn't be this hard!
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Thanks- answers to your questions in order:
    -Not a dock, and no other piece of hardware involved- he just sets the laptop beneath the ACD in a small, plastic shelf;
    -Good question. While on Skype with him, I was wearing headphones. The sound was quite rich and clear while we were talking with his MBP closed and hooked up to his ACD. Upon disconnect from his MBP I noticed that the sound had changed quite dramatically- more tinny and muffled. Then, when I asked him to reconnect the USB cable to his MBP I discovered quite loudly that the built-in mic is nearby, what with all the sudden noise coming from his fumbling with the cable.
    -I confirmed with him that the lid is down on the MBP. He is running Apple Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
    Most interesting to me: when the MBP is hooked up to the ACD the Skype preferences page states that the camera is "unable to be accessed or is in use". Yet he is able to open up Photo Booth and take his own picture from the ACD camera. Hmmmm.

  • Did iTunes damage my files?

    I've started to discover that some files in my iTunes library are damaged. In some songs you can hear sudden noises, crackling "white noise". I listen mostly to ALAC, so at the moment it's only ALAC files I've found to be damaged, if it also applies to MP3, I don't know.
    It's mainly songs I ripped myself from CDs (with XLD, Max, and iTunes), although some files are converted from FLAC (with XLD).
    I've never had this problem before, but after a hard drive crash I had to re-rip all my CDs (400+), after which I've discovered more and more corrupted files.
    I don't know if they were damage during the import process in iTunes, or if it occurred in connection with an update of iTunes/library update.
    As the files were created by three different programs (but mainly XLD), I can only see that iTunes caused the damage.
    Is there anyone else that heard of similar issues?

    Well the HDD crashed completely, I had to throw it away, so not a single ALAC file in my library is from that crashed disk (the MP3's I had a backup of).
    So iTunes does not change anything in the files during import, I guess it's only the library files that are updated then? If so I can rule out the import process causing the issue.
    Then it might be as you say, this happend during tag updates. Neverless, this is really annoying, I have 400+ ripped albums, not knowing how many of all those songs that are damaged....
    Albums I add to iTunes now doesn't have any issues (so far), so whatever mean bug who did this seem to be killed off...

  • Add extra controls for podcast playback on the iPhone

    I use an iPhone as a listening device when I'm at the gym working out. There have been many times that I had wished I could have pressed a button on the face of the phone that would have allowed me to go backward or forward ten or thirty seconds because I missed hearing something due to a sudden noise. The slider on the playback is just not very accurate when the program is an hour in length and needs refinement.

    Have you tried touching and holding the "rewind" button on the screen for a few seconds? That will rewind the audio at several times normal speed, similar to pushing and holding the button on most DVD players.

  • My iPhone let out an ear-piercing siren-like alarm?

    It was about 6:30 in the morning at this point. I had no alarms set, and none of my push notifications would ever do this. But out of nowhere my phone let out this piercingly loud sound
    The only way I can describe the sound is this: y'know how whenever you're listening to the radio or tv and the emergency alert service interrupts what you're listening to (either to do a test or warn you of hazardous weather) and it goes "beeeeep.....beeeeep....beeeeep....beep...beep...beep" and then you hear a high pitched "EEEERRRRR" sound?
    Well, it sounded just like that high-pitched sound. And it sounded off in second long beeps (whereas a regular alarm sounds almost twice every second). And my phone vibrated even though I had it on do not disturb mode. There was some a text alert on my screen, and it filled the entire screen, but I was so tired and so freaked out by the sudden noise that I just unlocked my phone to the home screen to get the noise to stop
    I know it wasn't an Amber alert because when I get one of those, it sounds off as a regular tri-tone alert and has a tiny amount of alert text
    Does anyone know what this could have been? My iPhone is a 4s on the latest update

    My AT&amp;T iPhone 5 just woke me up with an amber alert. Although I didn't figure what it was until the second one came in. What am I supposed to do, jump out of bed and join the manhunt???
    Disabled on Settings-Notifications-Government Alerts, which are all the way on the bottom of the page. Annoying, and on by default?

  • Sound Problem - help

    Hello I have Compaq CQ58 notebook.  Yesterday, I tired to plug my headphones into my notebook and suddenly noise quality decreased.  Also, there was a burning smell emitting out of my notebook.  Please advice -- what might be the problem and how much it will cost to fix it.  Today, I turned back on my computer and internet is working.  But sound quality is still bad (with and without headphones plug in). 

    Sam,
    Welcome to the HP Forum.
    The ghost of my teenage past would say, "Wow!  Bummer!"
    Computers are not supposed to burn, emit burning smells, smoke, emit sparks...  You get the picture.
    You might take that notebook to a qualified tech and have it looked at to determine what happened and what it will take to get it fixed.  Long distance diagnosis is not an option.
    Frankly, if any of my notebooks emitted a smell of something burning, I would turn off the unit and not use it until I had it apart to see what happened to the inside.

  • Nokia 6300 Ringtone Increases by default, why?

    about 5 seconds in it increases quite a bit, sounds really tacky innit..... thinking about selling it because it **bleep** my off so much.... like, can you make a phone that just plays the ringtone please? thanks

    This feature started from 2005 with the 6230i. In some ways it's not bad because sometimes sudden noise can frighten you and we all know the disadvantages fright can cause.
    And as ZACPERSON said, it doesn't take long to get louder so it's not a problem.
    Some of you people seem surprised and wonder what's going on with your phone why it doesn't ring at full volume on the first ring. Don't you people read your manual ??? I read my Nokia 6300 manual and it says when the ring volume is set to the maximum, it will reach the maximum volume after a few seconds.
    READ YOUR MANUAL PEOPLE AND STOP ASKING SILLY QUESTIONS!!!

  • Responding to frequency recorded by microphone

    Hi,
    First of all - I have no idea what I'm doing. Sorry if this is the wrong place to be asking for help.
    I want to know how to make an app that responds in real-time to the audio levels detected by the iPhone/iPad's microphone.
    In particular, I want to make an app that counts up every time I make a sharp, sudden noise. For example a clap or a click of my finger and thumb.
    I've experimented with my phone's microphone and those sounds are very obvious in a quiet environment.
    It's clear from the audio wave that there are distinctive, sharp increases in volume. I want my app to count up one, every time the microphone detects these sharp increases. From my hours spent googling my problems, I've discovered that I can use FFT to measure audio frequency. I've downloaded aurioTouch
    and tried it out but I don't know how to incorporate it into my idea.
    Any help is appreciated!

    I think you want to focus on the increases in volume and forget about the frequency.

  • My iPhone 4s has suddenly stopped making a noise to tell me new emails have arrived, this was after an ugrade to IOS 7.1.2. It worked fine before and I didnt change anything but it just stopped dinging. I have checked Settings-Sounds

    My iPhone 4s has suddenly stopped making a noise to tell me new emails have arrived, this was after an ugrade to IOS 7.1.2.
    It worked fine before and I didnt change anything but it just stopped dinging when I got a new email.
    I have checked Settings-Sounds & Settings-Notification Centre and everything looks fine.
    It worked ok a couple of weeks ago but not after the latest update - anyone know why?

    Thanks Lawrence
    I omitted to say that it only occurs when the screen is locked - if I'm looking at something on my phone when an sms or email arrives, the phone 'notifies' me with a sound but doesnt do it when its screen is locked. Email messages and sms's (texts) still arrive but I get no sound to tell me they have.
    The MUTE swith is in the correct place and I have tried resetting the phone with the Home and Sleep buttons several times, still to no avail.
    I have noticed on the forums that many people are suffering or have suffered the same problem but Apple are never forthcoming, of course,

  • Sudden Brrrrrrrr- Noise on MB Pro After Wake

    Hello.
    After about 2 hours, i come home to my sleeping macbook pro. I open it up, resume my video and suddenly a "brbrbrbrbbr" noise sounds, but nothing comes up on the screen. I can hear it through my headphones too.
    I restarted my computer and everything was fine...
    I just want to know what this is!
    ~Lucas

    If it is under warranty, by all means take it in for service.  If there is a mechanical deficiency, it should be repaired gratis.  It does sound like an internal fan problem that needs to be replaced.
    Ciao.

    Back up your system, make a Genius Bar appointment and take it in. If it's 4 months old you are still on warranty, let them fix it.

  • My new Imac 24", 2.8GHz Intel Core is suddenly making a loud fan noise

    Please help!
    This Imac is only a week old. I bought it on apple online store. This is 24" 2.8GHz Imac and it's been the best computer I've ever had. It was wonderful to work and silent until yesterday. And suddenly I can't stand the fan noise coming from my new Imac. I downloaded i-stat Pro to check the status of my computer and it reads *CPU fan:1198rpm, hard drive:1198rpm, optical drive: 4401rpm*
    what is wrong with my computer?
    I searched many mac forums, and I've tried many things including shutting it down and unplugging everything and replugging everything after a while, but nothing solves this problem. Does anybody have experienced this problem? I am not even using many applications. I am only using safari, and the fan is at full speed. SO LOUD! What can I do to solve this? Should I take it to apple to look at it?

    Hello lovingimac
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    That sounds like there is something wrong with the temp. sensor for the optical drive.
    If carefully following the SMC reset instructions below, does not fix the fan issue:

    Then yes you need to make a trip to your local Apple service center.
