Track volumes randomly change

While working in GarageBand at random times using my MIDI controller, I'll noticed the volume on a track not currently in use either raises or lowers in volume. It's almost as if a ghost is controlling it. Why is this?

it sounds like you have a volume curve for the track, click the down arrow in the header to see if it's turned on.

  • Volume randomly changes

    When I am listening to music (iTunes) the volume will randomly get louder and softer as I am listening. ( I am not physically changing the volume). What could the problem be, and what is the solution?

  • Why do the recording settings in GarageBand 10.0.3 randomly change if I delete the track?

    When I choose the "Narrator" setting to record voice only, and then decide to delete that track and record a different one - it randomly changes the setting from "Narrator" to "Bright Voice" or some other category. Sometimes the Narrator setting disappears altogether and is not even a choice. Also - sometimes there is no sound recorded on the tracks, even after it was just working fine and I did not change any settings. Other times, the mic is cutting in and out on the recording, making it unusable. I am using it on a MacBook Pro (late 2008 - 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3) with OS X Yosemite 10.10. Are there bugs in the software, or is my MacBook too old?

  • Trouble changing track volumes

    I seem to have a lot of trouble changing the individual track volumes. Sometimes it will not let my mouse select the slide bar to change the volume. After a couple seconds fidgeting with it and clicking on it it usually will allow me to "grab" it and move it. This is quite annoying. Anyone else run into this?

    The track volume slider should move normally, every time. Does it appear grayed out at first or active? You might want to just click on the main track bar, to make it active, and then try it. Maybe that's what's been causing it.

  • How do you change the track volume so that it moves with your project?

    I understand you can change track volume for a given track (by hitting the down arrow and fade it up and down). BUT then if you move that track - the track volume stays where it is so your volumes then get all messed up - any solutions?

  • Why does my track volume on selected track suddenly spike?

    Why does my track volume, on the SELECTED TRACK, suddenly spike to max as if I had volume automation set. It never did this before a few weeks ago. Very frustrating. It happens during playback and loop recording. It started around the same time I started using a new audio interface (steinberg UR22) but I don't think that is causing the issue because I wen't back and used my MBOX to be sure, and it did the same thing. I have never had any use for automation or a master volume track either. It doesn't matter if I have a guitar, bass or mic going direct or through a preamp. It seems to be internal to GB settings. The only change I've made to my macbook recently was I increased my RAM from 2 to 4gb.
    It's like Garageband has a mind of it's own and it feels as though there isn't enough signal reach the track to it boosts it itself. What am I missing?
    Please help I can't get anything done because it spike in the middle of a take and I have to start over.
    I'm using GB 11 version 6.0.5

  • How can I lock a track volume level to never move in Garageband?

    Hi there
    I'm currently creating a backing track of a popular song and I have built up all the parts of the songs against a wav track which contains the original version of the song.
    I want to be able to mix the volumes of the tracks Ive built to the main proper recording, but I need to be able to LOCK the actual wav song track at say the 1.7db mark. Is this possible?
    As I cant do it now, I keep accidently adjusting the volume level of the actual wav song track, so then all my volume mixes on other tracks are rendered useless (As you cant UNDO a volume change back to how it was)
    Even if I engage the padlock "lock" button on the actual wav song track I can still move the volume of that track up and down. So its not 100% locked in my opinion.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi
    Do you mean:-
    Select the track
    Click Down Arrow
    Make sure Track Volume is selected
    Click on the dot that has been created at the start of the track (to check its number level)
    Click on the line now showing at the very end of the song and make sure the NEW dot you've just created is at the same number level as the one at the start.
    As this seems to work.
    If I dont put any dots on it, you can move it as you please still.

  • Euphonix MC MIX and Logic 9.0.x = no tracks volume values display

    Hi,
    Did anybody noticed that, since introduction of Logic 9.0.1 update, the track volume values aren't showed in the MC MIX display anymore? Euphonix support says that they are aware of the problem and are working close to Apple to resolve the issue, but that a fix would demand a new update from Apple.
    Does anyone have some info from Apple side? Any light on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
    see ya

    Got this from the Avid Support group: Go to Library/application support/Euphonix/Usersets/MC2User/MC_USER_SET_Root/ and make a copy of the Logic Pro.xml file. Then paste it back into the same folder but rename it Logic Pro X.xml. That should then open your old button settings for your MC Control. This worked for me and one other, so I hope it will work for everyone. There may be some different commands that will have to be changed in the button settings for LPX but I haven 't had a chance to check all of that out yet. I'm just happy this worked, I didn't like the idea of inputting all of the button settings from the start!

  • Volume Settings Change on Reset

    Volume Settings Change on ResetZ Randomly when I reset, the volume settings all 'max out' and refuse to change in the Creative Audio Console, despite what I do to change them. It is not shown in any menus, but you can hear that it is this way.
    This then leads to weird noises as all the volume is too high for the features to work right. The only way I can get around this is to manually change the volume on everything when I use it (obviously not going to do this) after each reset/power-on, or I have to set it to default and change the settings again (gets annoying fast).
    Anyone know why it would be doing this? It seems software related to me, rather than hardware.

    I "feel your pain", having had this issue on average every 3 months or so. Sometimes it will spontaneously fix itself. I tried deleting the Home/Library/Mail/Mailboxes Outbox.mbox folder followed by closing and reopening Mail which worked for a very brief time only, then became an issue once more. I have 2 accounts in gmail.com which are the current outgoing server issues. One of them works and the other doesn't. Now when I create a new note there are 2 text boxes in the from area of the note all of a sudden.
    This is a real problem because if I send mail using the other server, my business accounts will not recognize the incorrect server now being used by Mail to send all my outgoing as the address is not the one associated with my accounts.

  • How to not link the track volume with CC7

    I need CC11 to do the notes' expression , CC7 to do the phases' volume.
    But every time I move the CC7 rate, the track volume (left hand side, the big slide pan) move as CC7.
    I used to use sonar, it doesn't have that problem
    How to disable the link between CC7 and the volume slide pan?

    Hi,
    as far as I know, CC7 is reserved for Volume, and as you used it for another function, you did something extraordinary (even with sonar ) Look what tweakheadz says: http://www.tweakheadz.com/midi_controllers.htm *7 Volume (MSB) If you re-route to Controller 7, your software mixer will mess up*
    You have several solutions:
    1st: Select the MIDI regions in question, go to the event list and filter it by searching for controller No. 7. Now you can easily select them all together and change them (all together) to another value that Logic likes more (and that fits MIDI standards better...)
    2nd: Now comes the really advanced way: Build an environment including a transformer for each and every software instrument, cableing the transformer to the software instruments channelstrip input. Now, in the arrange, you have to re-assign the MIDI tracks to the transformer in the environment. It's more complicated than playing chess against Kasparow, but it will open you unknown fields of possibilities (I've tested it and it works for me, but i really don't need this solution for 99,9% of my music). It's a MIDI wasteland for people who as kids loved to play with do-it-yourself electronic kits and weld their cables themselfes... In short: You have to know some thing about signal flow and how MIDI works. Perhaps it is the philosophers stone for you? Who knows.
    Anyway, I'd recommend solution No. 1 because it is easy, quick and it works.

  • Why does my mouse tracking speed randomly shift to the slowest level?

    Since I downloaded Mavericks OSX 10.9.3, my mouse tracking speed randomly shifts to the slowest speed. Is there a way to change this?

    If it's a wired mouse, check the battery level in System Preferences > Mouse often.
    If it's USB, try a another USB port to test.

  • My volume randomly decreases on the Iphone 4G

    Have a new Iphone 4S. Randomly the volume just decreases. It does not appear the volume buttons are stuck or jammed. It is very annoyoing. While listening to music it will randonmly decrease to zero. If you try to increase the volume, it will go up. Once you release the up button it will just go down.

    Howdy Ckeit P,
    It sounds like no matter if your phone is connected to an external device or not, the volume will change on its own even after resetting the device by holding the power and Home buttons. I would next quit all the running apps:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works. 
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.

  • Difference between auxiliary track volume and send/bus

    I'm trying to take it easy on my laptop so I started using AUX tracks for compressors, eqs, etc. that I have on multiple tracks. However, I have a few questions.
    When I add an aux track, it is added at -∞. I guess I don't completely understand its function. What is the difference between me pulling this up to 0 or changing the volumes in my original track?
    With that in mind, I'm assuming (maybe wrongly) that if I want the full effect/volume to be sent that I set the send to 0 also (the little green circle that I pull up next to the send button).
    Am I wrong in any of my logic? I'm just trying to figure out how this all affects volume and what not and what values to set these things at. I had my mix set at individual volumes that I liked. However, when I switched my tracks from all having an individual plug-in to sending them all to a bus, the volumes changed, even when I set the send and the aux track volume to 0.
    I know I'm wrong somewhere here! I just don't know where! Can you guys help and point me to a fix and better understanding? Thank you.

    Are these the two methods you were talking about?
    Yes these are the methods with one note ony !
         In the 1st picture the chennel strip sends are routed to Bus 1 - so far so good. But what I see is that you have inserted an EQ on the system Aux which is not so good. In this scenario the chanel strip audio path is dubplicated (one is passing thru the channel strip out 1-2 and the other is splited thru the channel strip Send Knob->Bus->Aux-> Out 1-2 so you EQ the Send path only - OK?
         In this scenario you can insert  Reverb, Delay, Chorus etc and use them as calssical system FX so the duplicated "send" path just adds some system FX (note the Aux FX plugin must be set to 100% Wet) so you add wet signal to the dry path. You can correct your 1st setup and insert Reveb for instance. After that you can control the reverb abount for each channel strip using the channel strip send knob(s) (currently they all are set to 0dB).
    When you want to use say an EQ or Compressor etc then your second setup is OK ! In the second picture you have grouped the chanel strip outputs to one bus/aux so all inserted plugins there will behave as Group "Insert" ones (no duplicated paths here). The second setup is used with say violin, vocal winds group summed to an Aux where you want to EQ, Compress, Pan … the whole group etc.

  • Track volume doesn't shift when I shift track contents, probably simple!

    Hi all,
    So I am creating a mix-tape for mothers day and am trying to blend/overlap tracks using Garageband. I have each mp3 in a separate track and each track's "Track Volume" enabled and taking care of fade in/out. But now I need to shift all the tracks down to add a new track, or to rearrange tracks but when I do the Track Volume curves stay put. Any ideas? I feel like I may be coming at this mix-tape thing the wrong way. Its my first time in Garageband but I am pretty computer savvy dude. Any help would be awesome! Thanks!

    I just found the "Lock Automation Curves to Regions" in the Control menu.
    Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks to anyone to read this, I hope it helps someone.

  • How do I stop DW CS6 randomly changing file permissions via FTP?

    How do I stop Dreamweaver CS6 12.0.1.5842 randomly changing file permissions when it uploads files to my web server via FTP.
    I can no longer trust Dreamweaver to upload websites correctly as it changes permissions on some files which then deny the server access to the file which in turn makes the webpage unreachable/return a 403 error.
    This is driving me insane.
    I'm using an early 2011 Macbook Pro 10.7.5.

    Hi,
    I'm having this problem too. Has Adobe fixed the issue yet? This appears to be an Adobe problem, not all the web hosts out there. CS6 is ramdomly (meaning: not every time) changing permissions on files uploaded with it and is not usable for web work until this problem is fixed by Adobe or a solution is provided. If I wanted to use a separate FTP program I would not have recommended that my employer buy multiple Adobe CS6 product licenses. One of the primary appeals of DW is the integration of FTP into the workflow.
    I am using a destop iMac2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 gigs of 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.
    OSX 10.7.5
    I am using DW Version 12 Build: 5808
    Dreamweaver CS4 that I was using until this new purchase was working just fine. No file permisssion changes. I am being forced to go back to using it until Adobe posts a fix for this.
    I should ask while I'm here: has anyone found a solution for this yet?
    Thanks,
