VIEW Audio Playback

Hello..hoping someone can help.
Initially i was problems with audio playback in a 12bit project, couldnt hear anything basically. I went to View/Audio Playback (following a posting on here). Out of interest i changed the setting, what to i cant remember..cinema something..i got a full screen image of my project, presumably controlable using the keyboard. Without those controls i quit FCP but it wont open now. I get a full screen of black for a split second then the procedure fails.
Hopefully soemone might have a quick solution to get me back at least to where i was before. Oh i did try FCP rescue by the way.

THis isn't quite what you are asking for William, but it may provide another option for you to think about. Linguists (and occasionally we anthropologists too) often use software called "Elan" for transcribing and annotating audio and video recordings.
You can download a copy for free from the Max Planck Institute site at http://www.lat-mpi.eu/tools/elan/
Amongst other things, Elan provides you with an onscreen display of the movie you are working on , and a very accurate time line. It also lets you display a synchronised wave form of an audio file (to do this with a movie you have to create a "wav" file of the movie audio and then use Elan to automatically "synch" this with the video).
So, essentially, you can view the movie, see a waveform and write your text all in the one program.
It would, I think, be easier for you to complete your task using it, rather than word. My only reservation is that the interface is rather clunky (like much opensource software) and you definitely will need to read the first few pages of the manual (available at http://www.mpi.nl/corpus/manuals/manual-elan.pdf ) at least to get rolling with it.

Audio playback, frame by frame

In previous versions of FCP (e.g. 3), when I would drag the playback point through a clip, the audio would play for that frame. It resulted in the audio sounding "cut up". With 4.5, I can no longer do this. I found it helpful when trying to determine the exact frame that contained the beginning of a sound, which is has been very useful for syncing up multiple angles.
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to turn this back on?
Thank you!

Do you have external video playback on? If so, is your audio following your video playback?
What are your different settings for View>External Video, View> Audio Playback, and View> Video Playback?

I have created a PDF with mp3 audio clips, the file works on PC's with audio playback (WIndows 7, 8 ) however the audio does not play when hosted on a website or an ipad/tablet computer or smart phone when used with PDF reader

New MAC PRO: itunes audio playback-stuttering, glitching, skipping

I have a brand new mac pro 3.2ghz quad, with 8gb ram (bought a couple weeks ago). All seems fine with the exception of brief skips, glitches and stutters with audio playback in itunes. I tried updating to itunes 11 and this did not resolve the problem. My music files play fine on my girlfriends macbook pro (purchased over a year ago), and never had any problems on my old machine (imac 24inch aluminum). I went to apple with the problem and after multiple system recoveries they determined that the computer was faulty and sent me a replacement. I just received the replacement and tested out some downloaded music from the itunes store and the same problem happened. Am I just unlucky to get two computers with this issue? Is it the Mac Pros? Has anyone had this issue with mac based machines, specifically the mac pros? I saw another thread on the issue but seemed to be primarily windows users running itunes. The skipping happens as frequent as every 20-30 seconds to every few minutes, but it is definitely enough to notice
Thanks.
Baffled,
Greg

Hi Greg.
I seem to have discovered this problem this weekend. I listen to a lot of music from my apple devices and have done for years. What I have noticed this weekend is that both my Macbook 2008 and iMac late 2010 both suffer with a brief stutter every minute or so making the enjoyment of listening to music a little annoying. Both are running Mountain Lion 10.8.2. My iMac is running the 2.93 GHz intel i7 processor with 8GB ram. Playing music should be a doddle!
From my point of view both Macs are running independently to external speakers. The music I am running on those 2 devices has been ripped on both devices. e.g. Macbook has ripped and plays Apple Lossless format and my iMac has ripped and plays songs in 320kbps. My guess is its a bug with the new iTunes 11 or Mountain Lion although I have been using 11 since its release.
While I'm not able to supply a fix I think its safe to say its not your new Mac Pro. One other thing to note is that I have been running up until this weekend a 7 or 8 year old Mac Mini as a media device in my kitchen playing Apple Lossless format with no issues at all. This device however is running Snow Leopard with all updates applied. The Macbook is now playing the Lossless music with stutters that was ripped on the Mac Mini that was playing OK.
So is the problem Mountain Lion?
Take care

Where am I wrong?
Here's the file.

Video Playback Audio Playback options?

I am trying to print to tape for the first time. With no success. My sony gv-d300 record lights go on and heads move, but records nothing. Then tried to use my camcorder to record onto. Same thing. Nothing records onto the tape. I've read that I need to Select firewire on video/audio playback under View. But my options for the video playback are none and digital cinema Preview. Audio playback options are Default and Built in Audio. The Firewire option is in light gray, so I can't choose it. I've looked at my preferences and my firewire is selected under Devices. Can someone help?

FCP is not seeing the recording device(s).
Make sure the target device is turned on before you turn on your computer and launch FCP.

Audio Playback Frame by Frame - Enabling & Disabling

Hello,
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Initial searching has been fruitless.
Using Final Cut Pro 5.0.4
I have managed to somehow disable audio playback when moving the playhead frame by frame & when scrubbing through.
This occurs both in Viewer window & when clip is on the timeline.
The audio meter also doesn't register/update any change.
Many thanks.

Fred:
Check View > Audio Scrubbing or SHIFT+S.
Hope that helps !

No Audio Playback in FCE4

Hi everyone,
Strangely, I can't get the audio playback to work in Final Cut Express 4. I checked other threads in this forum and already tried a few things, but no help.
Here's what I have so far:
- Audio scrubbing works. (I can hear sound when scrubbing through my video.)
- The menu item "View > Video Out > Canvas Playback" is checked.
- The audio levels don't move during playback, but do during scrubbing.
- Audio waveforms are displayed in my audio tracks.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your reply!
All of the videos I tried is using the AAC codec for the audio. Some were converted from FLV files using QuickTime, some were recorded using Photo Booth. There were also AVI files recorded using a Canon PowerShot A720 IS and some MOV files recorded with a Canon PowerShot G10. I think the AVI files are multiplexed, and I tried to demux them and convert them into MPEG4 video and AAC audio using MPEG Streamclip. No matter what I've tried, nothing worked yet.

Final Cut 7 Audio playback problems

All of a sudden I can't hear my music play. I can see the music in the audio tool, so I know it's there, but I can't hear it in the source window or the timeline. I also can not hear tracks A9 and below.

Go to View > Audio and make sure the correct output is selected.
Go to the menu Final Cut Pro > user Preferences and increase the number of audio tracks you can hear in real time:
Increasing this may/will have consequences on the smoothness of playback.
When FCP begins to act in unexpected ways, trash your Final Cut Pro Preferences.
use Preference Manger from Digital Rebellion (free) to do this for you:
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
your preferences will be set to default the next time you launch FCP.

No Audio Playback due to Error Message "Disk is too slow. (Prepare) (-10001)"

Out of the blue, no audio playback. Was working just fine earlier today.
I repeatedly get the error message:
Disk is too slow. (Prepare)
(-10001)
NOTE: I have more than enough disc space. That is NOT the issue.
I also just got a second error message:
Part of the Project was not played
This project has too many real instrument tracks to be played in real-time. To optimize performance, see the 'Optimizing GarageBand performance' page in GarageBand Help.
NOTE: Odd as I have only 2 tracks in the GarageBand file.
Any others experience this? Suggestions?

Have a look into the Preferences folder (YourUserFolder/Libraries/Preferences/) and trash all Logic preferences.
You'll have to setup the program again.
cheers

Premiere Elements 12 - Gaps in audio playback

Hello everyone!
I have a problem with Adobe Premiere Elements 12: when I play video in timeline or preview window, there are lots of gaps and pauses in audio playback, even though video is playing smoothly. Usually the pattern goes like this: 2 seconds of clean audio - 0,5 seconds silence - 2 seconds of clean audio... etc.
I have tried the following:
- change audio buffer settings
- change audio device (I have tested with integrated audio chip ("High Definition Audio"), M-Audio Fast Track Pro and cheap USB audio interface - same results with all of them)
- start a new project with correct settings and import only one file
- disable background antivirus monitoring
Usually source material is AVCHD 1440x1080 25fps (PAL, MTS-file) from small Sony camera, but this problem seems to continue even if I insert only still photo and mp3 audio to timeline. CPU load is about 6% during playback. It seems like Premiere Elements makes these gaps to playback signal before sending it to audio hardware?
Computer specs: Intel Core i7-4770 @ 3,4GHz, 16 GB RAM, 128GB SSD drive for OS & software and 2.0TB 7200 rpm drive for video, Intel HD Graphics 4600, Windows 8 (64bit).
I would be really grateful if someone could give me some tips to solve this annoying audio playback problem.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that this problem occurs all the time - even when video is rendered in timeline.

Thanks for the quick response, TonyPh12345. Clearly not what I was hoping for but not unexpected. BB

Performance hit in audio playback in Solaris 10

Hi,
I've noticed while trying out the Solaris 10 beta 72 that the audio playback quality took a major hit since Solaris 9. I was hoping that this would go away in the Solaris 10 release, but it's not the case.
If I try to play an .mp3 file with mpg123 or even audioplay an .au file, there are regular clicks in the playback, audible about twice per second. Booting into Solaris 9, the audio playback is perfect.
My intuition tells me that the integration of DTrace into the kernel is the culprit, but of course, I have no proof. Can anyone think of a way to test this theory? Can DTrace be disabled? Maybe DTrace can be used to figure out what's going on?

Maybe DTrace can be

IPhone 4 audio playback cuts out after latest update (5.1)

My phones audio playback ( podcast, audiobook or music) cuts out at random intervals during playback.
This happens when listening through apple headPhones or my audio lead aux input to my stereo.
This has only started since the last software update (5.1). It's really frustrating as you often hit the jump back or forward arrows when restarting, instead of the intended Play symbol ( they are close together). This is really frustrating when your listing to an hour+ podcast.
Is anyone else having this problem since the update?

Same problem here! My phone was functioning correctly after the update until today, when it randomly attempted it's own emergency call, then requested that I turn on location services. When I hit cancel, it repeatedly requested that I turn on the service. When I agreed to turn on location services, it defaulted to the screen with the iTunes logo and the USB cable. Since then, I have been unable to get it to function. The phone has been switching between a black screen and the apple screen and buzzing periodically. When I touched the apple, it pixellated and melted away. I did see a message that the iPhone needed to be activated once and very briefly. I managed to connect it to iTunes using an old troubleshooting guide, but when I asked iTunes to restore it to factory settings (politely, thank you), it gave me error 21 (unknown error) and said it was unable to restore.
Hopefully someone has an answer...?

AIR + Android audio playback in background

Hello everbody,
at the moment I am evaluating the realisation auf a radioplayer using a rtmp stream for android devices.
There are two question for which I could not find any advices or resoltions.
My questions are:
1.) Is it possible to play/continue an audiostream, even if the app itself is pushed into background?
2.) How are updates handled for apps in Android-Store? Is it the same as with the updateroutine for AIR on Desktops?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Regards,
wman

Hi Varun,
thanks for your answers.
Are there any ressources/links, maybe on adobe devnet, available for audio playback while app is in background?
I already searched the web so far, but could not find any hints.
but anyway thanks for your response!
Regards,
wman

Audio playback stops short

Has anyone had problems with audio playback in a previewed or published presentation where the playback stop short and advanced to the next slide?

Brian,
The fact that this mp3 is about the same size as a standard 16 bit/44.1k stereo file of a 3 or 4 minute song, indicates to me that it's an extremely long file.
I'm willing to bet you have run into the measure limit within a Logic song. It's 2000 something (can't remember it exactly).
The standard work around is to drop Logic's tempo to something really slow, thus allowing the larger file to be able to play within the Logic song limit.
See if that's it...
