Temporary freeze between tracks?

iTunes is freezing for about 30 seconds between tracks between most (not all and randomly). I have no library and am just playing stuff off my iPhone connected to iTunes. It is a fresh and updated install of 8.1. The diagnostics all come back as positive and all my other programs are responding and active during these freezes but iTunes completely freezes. I am running a Dell XPS M1710 w/ 2GB Ram and a Core 2 Duo processor, so I can't imagine it is a hardware issue. My other player (Windows media) plays the MP3s in a playlist just fine. Usually between tracks the phone will say that it is syncing and it will only say that AFTER the freeze is over which makes me think that it is not the iPhone. Is it just dome crazy iTunes bug? Should I just reinstall? Just seeing if anyone else has had that problem. Everything plays fine at home (Vista Ultimate), so I am not sure if it has to do with this install or maybe the fact that I am on a domain (XP Pro SP 3) at work? No idea.... Thanks!
Ryan

This exact same thing is happening to me too. At first I thought it was my external hard drive where I keep all my music was damaged, but then when I plugged my Ipod in to directly play of it, the same thing happens. Some one please help! Should I re-install Itunes?????

How do you force Logic Pro 8 to freeze a track in real time

I'm using a lot of samples in a project and my hard drive can't read all the samples fast enough (it's a 5400rpm USB 2.0 drive - I'm looking at getting a faster drive, but this problem is bound to crop up eventually with any drive if you have enough samples).
Freezing tracks doesn't solve the problem (it makes it worse) because it races through and plays each track so fast that the drive reads even less samples than playing in real time.
Ideally, i'd like to be able to freeze all tracks (which would miss a lot of samples), but then one by one re-freeze each track in real-time, so the only samples Logic and the hard drive have to worry about are from that one track (as all others are frozen). I think this would give me the best chance of having the drive read all the samples in the project.
Is there a way to tell Logic to freeze the track in real time?
Or if you can think of any other way to solve the problem, obviously I'd be more than happy with that : )
ps This is my first post here. I've searched through the forum and can't find the answer to this question, but if it's already been answered, my apologies.

I don't understand what you are saying here. When a track is frozen, there are no samples being used for it, just one temporary audio file...?

re-freeze realtime???

What exactly do you mean by freezing? I think you mean something else than Logics' freeze function:

First I need to understand the question... how long have you been using Logic? Did you use another DAW before?

X200s - problems switching from mains power to battery - temporary freeze

Hi All,
Noticing a problem with a brand new x200s downgraded to Windows XP from Windows 7 (although never operated with Windows 7) where there is a temporary freeze when either connecting to mains power, or disconnecting from mains power. While it is not a proper freeze, as I can ALT+TAB between applications, I cannot actually do anything (close AP's, write emails etc). This lasts for up to 3 or 4 minutes, and then everything recovers - recovery happens to the extent that anything done during the freeze suddenly happens, like pressing the ThinkVantage Button, or right-clicking on a taskbar item etc.
I wonder if this is something to do with the Lenovo power management system - anyone got any ideas please?
Many thanks

Hi,
make sure, that you are using the latest version of Power Manger , power mangement driver . These two parts are basically responsible (when they are installed) for the power configuration.
Please let me know, what is the version of Power manager and power management dirver, that you are using.
Also based on you description, when all is working, when pressing ATL+TAB, then try to open Task manager with CTRL+Shift+ESC and check, what is taking the CPU and memory comsumption.
Once this will not show you anything, go to Windows Event log, maybe there you can find some hint.
Just to make sure, that I understand this corectly: You see this kind of behaviour, when you unplug or plug in the sytsem into AC ?
Cheers

How do I keep the "rating" view between tracks in the iPad music app?

Between tracks, the ratings view in iOS 5 switches to album art. How do I keep it from doing so?

I'd like to apologize to all that viewed, and especially those who responded with suggestions. I apparently overlooked/didn't notice the total songs and length of time at the bottom of the screen. I was exclusively looking for the information at the top. My sincere apologies to all. Thanks very much and happy holidays!

How do I define gap between tracks in playlists?

how do I define gap between tracks in a playlist in iTunes? (So that the gaps will be a part of the playlist after syncronizing to an iPhone.)
This is for tracks imported from LogicPro, not ripped from a CD.
Thanks for answer

Since iTunes has no such feature, the way to do it is to create short tracks of silence. Add them to your iTunes library, and insert them as separators between other tracks in the playlist. You can use the same track multiple times in the same regular playlist.
I have not used Logic Pro, but I am fairly sure it can be used to create a short track of silence.

Burning problem: even after no delay between tracks, still get a noise

I want to burn a CD with no delay between tracks. I have selected 0 seconds in the Burning preferences as the delay. It works except that there is a short "blip" stutter sound at the start of every track...how can I get rid of this?
Like if the speech track is in the middle of the word, the sentence will sound like "Four score and Sev[blip]ven years ago..."

You may be visiting a web site that has been infected or is hosting malware.<br />
You should never respond unrequested pop-ups that try to persuade you to download and install software.<br />
Doing that is the way to get malware because no decent company would use such methods to inform you about that.<br />

Why is the ipod insisting on pausing between tracks?

My ipod 30g is pausing between tracks and there is no apparent way of altering that. This is a serious unresolved problem with the ipod which I feel needs to be discussed until Apple either recalls it or resolves the issue.
I did a search for this topic and I found that the few discussions that existed did not get the airing they deserved before they were archived.
If I didn't know Apple better I would think this is a cover-up. I called tech support and after I assured them that the itunes cd preference was set to no pause they had no answer but to re-install the software which would involve erasing all my content. And you know I got the "I haven't heard of this problem yet.." cliche tech response to de-emphasize a gaping disfunction.
Yes I'm keeping my ipod but they should not have released it for market with this audio anomaly. And yes I will merge all my tracks in itunes because that pause can ruin and entire CD if there is continuous sound.
Does anyone know if Apple is at least considering rectifying this flaw?

The iPod has never supported gapless playback.
You can suggest Apple add this feature here;
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html
It's no big conspiracy - we're not alowed to speculate here about what features Apple may or may not add in the future, so there really isn't much to talk about.

AIR 3.4 - Android - netstream freezes between 110 and 240 seconds

Hi,
On Android, netstream freezes between 110 and 240 seconds
with videos in http://xxx/..../video.mp4 format.
For more details, see bug:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3323362
Each video freezes at the same time on 3 different devices:
- Asus Transformer TF101 on ICS 4.03,
- Samsung SG2 on ICS 4.03
- Nexus 7 on Jelly Bean 4.1.1
If I use StageVideo, I have the same problem.
Is there a workaround for this problem ?
Philippe

We were also having this issue with MP4 videos that we had encoded from MOV/WMV video files in both AIR 3.4 and AIR 3.5. It looks like it might be an issue with Adobe Media Encoder CS6. When we switched back to encoding videos with Media Encoder CS5, our videos stopped freezing (they would usually freeze around the 1:30 or 1:40 mark).

5800 - How can i remove gap between tracks?

Hi guys, as the subjects says...Is there any way to remove the gap between tracks in order to get a continuous play with seperate songs in the XM 5800?
Thanks.

I know what you mean - some albums sound much better without the half second (or more) gap between tracks when playing in continuous mode (not usually necessary for shuffle mode). E.g. MediaMonkey on the PC works pretty great with Ministry of Sound albums for example - I suspect we'd have to have a new audio player in a firmware release. Here's to dreaming!
If I've helped, please hit Kudos! I could do with a little kudos in my life.

Gaps between tracks...

I am an EDM DJ and there is nothing worse than listening to a set with gaps between tracks. Upon burning a cd via iTunes I make sure that the set is gapless and specify a 0 second gap between tracks. Why am I still getting gaps in the final burn?

Actually, I have never had this problem using other burning software (windows). I seem to only have the issue when using iTunes. Obviously burning with iTunes is the way to go versus using Toast, etc...
Any other ideas?

Gaps between tracks still?

Does anyone know if Apple have addressed the gaps between tracks issue? I know you can join tracks, and that's not what I'm asking Would be great if you could listen to mix CDs properly at last....

Someone else has asked this already, see Ryan Goshorn, "Gapless Playback on Nano?", 06:44pm Sep 8, 2005 CDT
...and it appears the answer is that the gaps are still there.

Gap between tracks

Hi -
I imported an album that has no gap between music tracks, but in iTunes there is now a ~1 sec gap between tracks which also copies across to my nano. Is there a way to edit/adjust these tracks so there is no gap without haing to re-rip the whole album? It is quite annoying.
TIA,
Charles

I did not even realize that this issue occurred, until I was listening to Abbey Road on the IPOD. Searching for Answers it looks as though Apple needs to provide an enhancement to resolve this with an Itunes service pack and ipod firmware upgrade.

I'm using Logic 9 with a Macbook Pro. On one project I'm getting a message ' not enough processor power.' I've tried freezing all tracks but this seems to have no effect. I've also bounced all soft synths to audio.

even at the start of the track where there is nothing but a kick drum happening.......

Thank you for the suggestions.
I had previously tried all of the above but the airport/wireless thought. Unfortuneately, none of these things made a difference, including the wireless suggestion.
Currently, I am using my Mac's "cheapo" internal audio hardware (haha). I have a one year old 27-inch iMac, a good pair of bose speakers, and a polk sub. I don't believe it is an issue with my setup, considering I completely disconnected and unplugged it.
I did, however, do a little info hunting on the internal audio situation, since I was curious what is actually included, and I stumbled upon this interesting little tidbit about my model of iMac:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2718054?start=0&tstart=0
I had previously wondered if I was hearing my mouse in my speakers as well (not just in logic). It appears that this model of iMac may have some grounding issues, as someone later in the thread suggested purchasing and using a ground loop isolator, which seemed to fix any extra interference for them.
Ironically though, I have since opened logic, and do not seem to be encountering my previous static issue(yet).
Fingers crossed, hoping that I will not be experiencing it again. Going to purchase a ground loop isolator, and continue to mess around with logic, just to make sure it was not just an internal audio issue with my iMac.

Burned playlist emits a strange noise between tracks

I have burned a playlist temporarily to a CD-RW and,when played back on my car cd-player, a very brief 'zzzzzp' noise is emitted between tracks. When I say playlist, it is in fact 20 tracks contained within a folder that I've created in ITunes. Could the fact that it is not a pure playlist be the problem? If not, any other ideas would be appreciated.

Hello Brenden and thanks for the reply.
I converted the ITunes format to MP3 so that it would play on my home cd player which the manufacturer tells me is the only format it will play. I don't get the 'zzzzzp' noise on there, only in the car which is obviously a different make. I also used MP3 because I wanted all the info about the tracks to be displayed, which I believe will not with audio cd format.
I'm at the CD-RW stage at the moment because I'm still deciding on track order and didn't want to commit to CD-R until that's over. The CD-RW is playing in both my home cd player and the car. I may just have to wait and see as you suggest with the CD-R.

How do I move one or more regions between tracks without introducing any horizontal (i.e. non-sync) movement, please? (GarageBand 3.0.5)

i'd switch to measures while moving the regions, it would make the work much easier.
