Trouble with audio file

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows why I am unable to position an audio clip where I want it to be in the composition timeline? When I add it to the composision, it places it at the very beginning of the timeline by default, and I would like it to play about 30 seconds in instead, but I am unable to move it on the timeline like I can any other layer...
any help is greatly appreciated!
thanks

That is an unusual behavior. What kind of audio is it? Is it associated with any video files? If it's some compressed format, you may wish to convert it to a plain WAV/ AIFF file. After all, AE is a compositing program and its audio handling abilities are quite limited...

  • Trouble with audio files and Garage Band 10

    Hi. I am having a very uneven experience using GB10. I sometimes successfully record tunes with more than one audio file (i.e. choosing the microphone option when creating a new track). But two things keep happening.
    1. I sometimes cannot hear my instrument even though I have clicked on the input monitoring button. I play the instrument and I see no indication on screen (via green squares moving from left to right) that any signal is being received.
    2. I sometimes experience a delay with a live instrument--I play the instrument and the note sounds a split second later. I am familiar with using the Smart Controls...this is not a deliberate echo effect.
    These have ground my recording to a halt.  Any input into why these things are happening would be most welcome! David

    sure....say I record a clip in track one with a bunch of plugins....export the clip to the audio region...then import back to the arrange...
    First of all it won't let me play the clip in Track 2, but if I shift the clip to track 3 it'll play....BUT I can't control the volume or pan .....very strange. I hate freezing stuff...although I have been for ages....but if this works it'll be cool....
    Thanks...

  • Trouble with audio files when imported from audio window

    after "bouncing" and audio region and importing it (onto a new track) into the arrange window from the audio window, I can't seem to control any parameters like volume and pan for the imported clip. Is this somehow locked?

  • Having trouble with wav files and sample rates

    Hi ,I am having trouble with wav files and sample rates .I have been sent multiple projects on wav as the main instrumental ; I wish to record in 48.000kHz .Now comes the problem.When I try to change the project to 48k It seems to pitch up the track.I can't have them send the logic/project file as most have outboard synths,different plug ins etc.This particular case the producer has recorded the synth task in 41.000 kHz .My successful outcome would be to be able t create a project file in 48 kHz .And NOT pitch up whne I add the instrumenta wav file .Any help would be gratefully recieved,this is my first post so any mistakes I may have made go easy 

    You'll have to convert the actual synth audio file file that the producer gave you to 48kHz. You can do this in the audio Bin in Logic.

  • Trouble with audio driver HPG60-243C​L

    Hello.
    A few days ago, I needed to format my notebook (model G60-243CL) and I did everything just like I'm used to do. I reinstaled Windows 7 and after instaling the drivers downloaded from HP drivers page, I had to restart the computer. That's when my troubles began.
    Sometimes, when starting up, everything goes on properly until the Windows loading screen, when my computer suddenly restarts again. It doesn't happen everytime and it seems a bit random to me. However, I noticed that when it finally turns on after restarting several times, the audio is a bit odd in every application that involves audio like musics players, videos and games.
    On the rare occasions where my notebook manages to start up properly, the audio stays normal.
    I already tried formating again, reinstaling the audio drivers and codecs, but nothing seems to work. Does anybody have any suggestions?

    There is no simple way to record sound in Java, AFAIU.

    Now my problem is that when the headphones are not connected, any audio being played out through the sound card can be recorded through mixers 4 and 6 above. This includes sounds created by the operating system, any audio files being played out etc. However, when I connect my headphones, the audio at the microphones can be recorded through mixers 4 and 5 above but any audio produced by the computer (again, sounds produced by the OS, audio files being played out etc.) cannot be recorded at any mixer. I tried mixer 6 above without success.
    Is it not possible to record computer audio when a microphone is connected? If it is, how?
    Significant question. Are you interested in getting this code to work for the machine you sit in front of, or is this for 'the general end user'?
    I have no general solution for the latter, but for a single machine, installing an 'audio loop-back' (either software or hardware) might be the answer. That is the most intelligent thing I can offer that might help get around this problem.

  • Trouble with audio devices

    I wrote a simple Java application to record audio on some mixer and then play it back. With my headphones / microphone connected, I got the following list of mixers:
    1. Primary Sound Driver : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Playback
    2. Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Playback
    3. SoundMAX HD Audio : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Playback
    4. Primary Sound Capture Driver : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Capture
    5. Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Capture
    6. SoundMAX HD Audio : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Capture
    7. Java Sound Audio Engine : Software mixer and synthesizer
    8. Port Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 : Port Mixer
    9. Port SoundMAX HD Audio : Port Mixer
    Of these, mixers 2, 5 and 8 are not available when the headphones are detached, as expected.
    Now my problem is that when the headphones are not connected, any audio being played out through the sound card can be recorded through mixers 4 and 6 above. This includes sounds created by the operating system, any audio files being played out etc. However, when I connect my headphones, the audio at the microphones can be recorded through mixers 4 and 5 above but any audio produced by the computer (again, sounds produced by the OS, audio files being played out etc.) cannot be recorded at any mixer. I tried mixer 6 above without success.

  • Trouble With Audio Coming Out of Sync

    I am having trouble with audio sync
    I am using .mov files of myself talking however I also record audio of myself talking as well. The audio files record as mp3 however I convert them to aiff files in order to better synch them in FCP
    I have an audio sound as an in point in order to better sync them and the syncing is perfect when i start.
    My files are about an hour and a half long and 20 minutes or so the audio starts to come out of sync and my mouth becomes a half second or so behind the audio. I record this audio live so there is no delay between my speaking and my recording voice but the longer the video goes the more out of sync I become.
    My syncing method that I use is "Merge Clips" at the in points.
    Has anyone else experienced this?

    All sorts of things you can do.
    Easiest fix is just to run down your timeline and every few minutes snip the audio and move it back into sync.
    Now after that;""
    Qe have no idea what your process was. We assume you're editing in Final Cut. How did you import your footage? What format is it in the browser?
    what are the settings of your timeline? Look at the sequence settings.
    You know that you can plug audio from
    mic into a Zi8?
    You need to get rid of the mixer hum. Likely ac electrical
    interference , a ground fault, but who knows.

  • Troubles with xmp files not loading...

    I'm having troubles with xmp files not loading with images but are present in the image folders. does anyone know why this is happening and if there is a way to fix this. Also when trying to load the xmp individually they are grayed out and unable to load. I have tried this on different machines (Macs) and still no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated in this issue.

    > The information contained in the XMP file is stored in the DNG file so there is no need for a separate file.
    Aww, yuck!! That's a real drag...
    When editing lots of files (yesterday's shoot produced 8GB) I back everything up to off-line storage and then, after doing all my edits and crops in ACR, I only have to copy over the small XMP files which takes no time at all.
    So if I re-edit the DNG with ACR I have to re-copy ALL the files again to the off-line storage.
    I used to sometimes even save 2 versions of the xmp files when I needed 2 different crops of the same images, such as doing a wide screen 'cinema' crop for a corporate client's Intranet presentation of their event, as well as more standard crops to be used for their newsletters.
    Guess I won't be using DNG any more..
    Thanks for the help Kees :-)

  • Unexpected problem: uncaught exception when working with audio files in Soundtrack Pro

    Hey,
    Whenever I double click an audio file in the timeline to work on it, I end up getting the Error message: "Unexpected problem: uncaught exception" and Soundtrack Pro eventually crashes.  Also, this happens when I try to work with audio files in the file editor.  I have Leopard and am using Logic Studio 8.  Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks
    Matt

    Didnt know how to remove the original clip from the STP arrange window - or whatever it's called in STPro.  So I could go no further in my perverse science experiment. 
    It also appeared that I could only import an aif but not a wav? 
    I gave up on STPro and did what I needed to do in Logic, which I use regularly.    
    Thank you for folowing up on this. 
    PS.  I used to use an old PowerPC version (1.0.3) of STPro and loved the way it visually showed the change in the waveform when you added each efffect.  It appears that the new version (3.0.1) does not allow you to do this anymore?  You can render or flatten the effects to see the final waveform, but then you are dead in the water and cant make changes?  
    Im such a newbie at STPro that I am probably not using it right? 

  • Pdf with audio files

    Not going to happen (in this context), sorry.
    Consider PDFs as review tools, not replacements for interactive books.

  • Still having trouble with audio on Macbook Pro

    I had posted a discussion board earlier on this issue. I've been having trouble with audio for certain videos on youtube and basically any website embedded with a video. The audio works for a few seconds that doesn't or it doesn't work at all. My volume is up, not on mute, and the one on the video isn't on mute either. It's funny because I just tried watching a video on Firefox (as opposed to Safari) and it works. Could it possible be something with the settings for safari?

    Try restarting your Mac, resetting your router, and resetting your modem. My cable internet has gotten slow at times as well, and when I reset my router everything cleared up.

  • I rec'd a CD with audio files. The suffix is .v09, and they won't play on iTunes. Any idea what I should do?

    I rec'd a CD with audio files. The suffix is .v09, and they won't play on iTunes. Any idea what I should do?
    I have a MacBook, OS X.

    No helpful information seems to be available about this, except that on Windows .v09 indicates an unknown extension - in other words they could be anything. What do you get if you highlight the file and hit command-i - does the info pane give you any file type?
    The best thing would be to ask the person who sent you the CD what they are; if you can't do this you can only try opening it in various programs. Audacity is a free audio editor which can open a number of formats. You could try dragging it to a browser icon in case it's Flash, or try the Windows Media Player. However there's a good chance that it's one of the obscure audio formats, in which case you very likely won't be able to play it.

  • Published with audio files, AAC Okay, MP3 'No Go'

    Hello all.
    I've put a couple of music, excerpts on my iWeb website; I discovered something after I published, one audio file is AAC and it loads properly on Safari on all my 3 macs (iMac at home, Office G5 via office intranet and MacBook in office with cable modem), but the audio file with MP3 has just the 'QuickTime' logo on it, you can't even play the music.
    Which is "funny" because I thought with Safari and QuickTime, should be able to play all formats of music? At least AAC and MP3? The music files are all encoded or re-encoded respectively via iTunes.
    I decided to use MP3 instead is I am afraid some browsers or computers (older maybe?) will not be able to play AAC files?
    Thanks and cheers

    iWeb writes page code to use the QuickTime browser plug-in so it wouldn't matter what audio format was used (as long as QuickTime supports it).
    The trouble is a "Fast Start" problem with your .mp3 files.
    Most exports from iTunes uses the newer .m4v or .m4a file extension and they should fast start (play as the file continues to download). You should consider exporting your .mp3 files to AAC (using the same settings currently used in them).
    Your page visitors would need to have QuickTime installed no matter what format you used so trying to "help" them by using .mp3 files is lost in the iWeb page coding.
    You'll also realize a file size savings on most of your AAC conversions versus using MPEG-1 Layer 3 format. These smaller file sizes help speed up your download.

  • Help needed with audio files in pdf

    I added mp3 audio files to a multi page pdf document via Acrobat Pro and the files play fine for me when I open the pdf. My client, however, doesn't even see the audio player rectangles after opening the pdf. Is there something I'm missing to make these files play for everyone who opens the document, every time? My client prefers that the audio files be embedded in the pdf, rather than using links.

    Hi The CountryCamera,
    Do you know how your client is opening the PDF files with the embedded audio (Reader, Acrobat on Mac OS or Windows)?
    If your client is on Mac OS, please check out this thread:  Re: Audio files not showing/working on a Mac - solution?
