Why am I getting midi conflict/sample rate errors. GarageBand 10 intel mac

Why am I getting midi conflict sample rate errors with no connected midi device?

Ok, I'll answer this myself. It has nothing much to do with midi devices being in conflict with anything. Nothing much to do with midi devices, as such, in fact. What it seems to be is a slow running system, whether it be processor, or hard disk, or whatever. In fact, when I found the cause of the problem, it was easy to solve.
What I saw a few times throughout this episode, was an inacurate sample rate report, which caused Garageband to run and react slowly, causing stuttering and flutter in audio output, so that noises were produced as the program struggled to handle the data streams it was reading and trying to reproduce and output cohesively. All of that was caused, it seems, by my iMac overworking and getting a bit too hot for comfort, having run all day, and multitasking for a good deal of it. I didn't adjust I/O buffering, or take any of the usual 'advised action' I've read from other users.
I simply saved my work and shut down the machine for an hour or two. When I restarted the machine, all had returned to normal. The lesson is, it seems to me, is minimise, or, stop other tasks the machine is carrying out. Safari, in particular, seems to be a major drain on resources, so work without it running. Shut down all unecessary programs and tasks, and run Garageband alone, when working in it. Garageband is a much tamer beast when it's left alone to do what you ask of it. It's quite a sensitive little soul. :-)

Why would I get a Sudden Motion Sensor error on a Mac Pro (not a laptop)??

Get this error all the time since upgrading to Logic 9.1.4. Thing is, I have a Mac Pro, not a laptop.
Apple sends me to this page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1934
Should I disable sudden motion sensor? Seems silly. I am recording woth headphones, there's no movement from the computer. And again, didn't have this error for 3 years and suddenly I get it after upgrading to 9.1.4?

9.1.4 seems a bit shaky...
That said, you might try disabling "Sleep" for the drive.
As I recall, it's a generic error meaning the computer either isn't getting a response from the drive or that it can't pull data off fast enough.

Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI. Sample rate 42804 recognized. Check conflict between Garageband and external device.

Sometimes, while playing back my software instrument songs, I get an intermittent pop-up error message, saying "Error while trying to synchronize audio and MIDI. Sample rate 42804 recognized. Check conflict between Garageband and external device."
(Sometimes the five digit number is different, but remains a five-digit number beginning with "4".)
Simultaneously, the song stops until I press the "Okay" button in the pop-up window.
When I continue to play the song, the sound is jerky and clipped, and the playhead doesn't keep up with the song, and then suddenly jumps to the part of the song currently being played.
There's also a sound of static.
The issue seems to occur whether or not I have my MIDI controller turned on and plugged into my desktop Imac.

Why do I get high latency (300 ms) on a fast Mac, Firewire preamp, 16-sample buffer?

Hardware: decent studio mic into Link.Firewire 4x6 (2518) preamp into early-2011 MacBook Pro (core i5), 8GB RAM.
Software: Audition CS5.5, no other apps running, Core Audio driver selected (which is the only option). Only one mono track armed for recording and monitoring, with no f/x turned on, routed directly to master output.
Symptoms: Regardless of the latency settings I select (16 samples up to 1024 samples), and regardless of the sample rate (44.1kHz to 96kHz), I still hear about a 1/3 sec delay when monitoring the input signal. Also same problem whether I route the audio output through the internal Macbook audio or back to the Link.Firewire monitor/headphone line.
Relevant history: I was able to do live multitrack recordings (overdubbing) with zero audible latency with the same Link.Firewire preamp on a wimpy old Pentium 4 3Ghz in Windows XP with Audition 1.5.
Why does this hugely faster Macbook Pro with Audition 5.5 have such awful perceived latency?
Thanks for any advice. I am already familiar with the latency-related literature such as the http://forums.adobe.com/message/3732874#3732874 and the Link.Firewire owner's manual. At this point I'm wondering if Audition 5.5 is the problem.

alan-ng.net wrote:
That sounds like a useful insight - but what do you mean by "So if in multitrack, the monitor option is set to Audition Mix, then you are likely to experience latency. If this is the case, then switch this to External ..."?
I don't see any menu options like this either in Preferences > Multitrack or in the Multitrack main menu.
Sorry, I keep forgetting that this is CS5.5, and that this aspect of it isn't the same as previous versions, so you can't control it like that...
It sounds like you might be talking about one of the configurations I already described above as tested and not any better: when Audition's Master output is routed back to the LINK.firewire preamp's monitor output channel (as opposed to routing it to the Macbook's internal audio hardware).
The problem is that any monitoring output from Audition's Master output will suffer from through-path latency - as already mentioned. The monitoring control is now on the mixer - directly above the fader. You will find a button marked 'I', and this switches on and off the input monitoring on a per-channel basis. The important thing to note is that when you record-enable a track, the default setting of the input monitoring is OFF - and that's the way you should keep it! If you switch it on, then this is when you'll get all the latency I described, because the input will then be fed to Audition's Master output - and that's what you don't want.
So what you have to do then is to enable direct monitoring in your sound device, and this is where I think you will run into problems. I looked at the manual for your Link device, and I can't find any mention of an app to let you control any internal monitoring you'd need. Without this, you're stuffed unless you use an external mixer for monitoring, and just use the Link as a plain in/out interface - which is what, on the face of it, it seems to be. You'd probably be way better off with something like a MOTU 8pre, because this comes with a nice little software app that lets you control all of the internal monitoring paths very easily.

Audio Midi Setup Sample Rate not Saving

Hi Folks,
I have Propellerhead Reason, Logic Express 8 and Line 6 gearbox running on my Macbook Pro, but every time I access the Audio/Midi Setup and change the sample rate to 48kHz, it reverts back to 44.1kHz whenever I restart my computer. It's absolutely driving me up the wall as none of my audio works (even in iTunes) until I reset it back to 48kHz. I've set all of my preferences in each of the apps to 48kHz, so I really don't understand why it's not saving in the A/M Setup. Oh, I have also tried deleting the library script for A/M Setup to let it generate a new one, but still no improvement.
Please can someone help?
Best,
Deac.

When I removed the usb mouse cable from the computer and attached it to the keyboard port then attached the iMic cable directly to the computer--my Input suddenly made an appearance. *dances to the music*

Why Audition CC don't show sample rate correctly?

Hi
Using Audition CC on Mac OS X with Mackie 1220, 12-channel premium analog mixer with integrated 24-bit/96kHz Onyx FireWire I/O (Quality is amazing!)
Need to record on mono a horrible old tape recording with voice only to "hero"'s repairing audio and configure the best sample rate for recording.
My preferences Audio Hardware on Audition are:
Device Class: CoreAudio
Default Input: Onyx Firewire (0025)
Default Output: Onyx Firewire (0025)
Clock Source: Device
I/O Buffer size 512 Samples
Sample Rate: 96000 Hz
Question 1: Expert said do not use more than 48000 Hz for recording voice only and use mono. Humans can't listen more than 20000 Hz... well... My recording on 96000 Hz is better than 48000 Hz and I'm not Superman... and can hear better difference with 96000 Hz recording. Don't know why.
Question 2: Why after selecting Audio Hardware preferences to 96000 Hz after recording the File Panel said my track is 48000 Hz Mono 32 (Float)? My hardware can record at 96000 Hz and preferences is set correcty at that Bit Depth then WHY don't appears 96000Hz on File Panel after recording and instead appears 48000Hz?
Question 3: Don't understand the differences of my 24-bit/96kHz Onyx FireWire I/O and 32 bit (Float) of Audition. If I record using 24 Bits (Maximum bit depth of my hardware) why appears 32 bit (Float)? My recording are 24 Bits or 32 Bits?
Thanks :-)

CS6 has a serious issue with saving files correctly. The program is asuming that 48kHz is the maximum you will be using and in my case it saved a 96kHz recording with a 48kHz internal header. The file size is consistent with all my previous 24/96 recordings and it sounds just fine interpreted correctly - but played an octave low in frequency and tempo it really sucks unless you are a Blue Whale..
I can play it "interpreted" as a 192kHz file just fine, and it now sounds 100% right, but I cannot save it correctly. I have yet to find out how to recover because when I use "convert Sample Type" it saves it with the same mistake - the wrong sample rate off by the same ratio again.
It is a program flaw - so at this point you cannot record with sample rates higher than 48kHz in CS6 and depend on your file being OK.
Tom the reason you can tell the difference between sample rates is that your hearing has two dimensions, frequency and timing, I sure hope you can't hear the bats at night but I expect that you can tell a good drummer from a bad drummer. In addition there is also the issue (dimension) of bit-depth - instrument decay and acoustic space occupies the time space between notes and if it is not sampled at the right time and place or rounded off to the nearest digital digit you have a problem.
You all know that some humans have perfect pitch and others dont, this gives you some indication how much we each differ. Some people have even learned to use echolocation; the best know cases being blind people because they are not supposed to be able to find their way and know where they are. You can learn underlying concepts of this little discussed aspect of human hearing here and hit the university libraries for the rest. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_echolocationhttp://
SteveG's comment are only true in one of the three dimensions - frequency range. We all hear about the same for starters anyway.
The second dimension, timing, is what provides spatial information. Coarse sampling effects this as well. My most recent experience was when transcribing some old casette tapes - when I experimented with FLAC and WMA lossless I found that they din NOT downsample well. Spatial information was significantly deminished be that aucoustic or studio work. Needless to say this surprised me because I was auming that I could drop the samplerate to 48kHz as soon I was done editing and save a lot of drive space. For now I made some excellent 48kHz/24 bit mp3s (320) because they altered the sound the least.
Now you know some additional reasons why older guys like me who have lost the high end and a lot of decibel as well can still tell the difference:we have good sense of timing.
Anyway - I need to learn how to edit my files to reset the sample frequency header - real fast. I just recorder a fabulous Madrigal group for 2 hours and my files are lost in the vortex.

2 Firepods + LaCie FW800 External HD = Sample Rate Error

I've had my first Mac for only 3 weeks now and have found this board EXTREMELY useful in solving every little problem I've had, even with my lack of Mac & Logic experience, until this one. Thanks in advance for the help.
I'm getting an error while trying to use 2 Firepods w/ my new LaCie D2 Extreme 160gb FW800 external HD. I can record 12 tracks to the internal hd from the pods, but not if the LaCie is connected. When I connect all three I get the message "Error while trying to sync Audio & Midi, Sample Rate 40676 recognized. Check conflict between logic pro and external device." However, I can record from the built-in mic to the LaCie if the Firepods are not connected. Is there some conflict over the firewire ports? All of my sample rates (in AMS and Logic) are set at 24-bit 44.1kHz and I'm using built in audio for system I/O. Longwinded, but does anyone know what is happening here?

I have the newest Powerbook G4; the two firepods are daisy-chained into the FW 400 port and aggregated as one 20 channel device. The LaCie goes directly into the FW800 port. There are also two USB ports for the xskey and wireless mouse. The firmware is updated and I have the Presonus Firepod Control installed as well. Thanks again.

Geting audio sample rate error, help

Hey all, been doing a massive project where I ma bring in tons of old 8 mm tapes, hi8 and digital 8. This one tape I brought on though however is giving me grief. I keep getting this error:
The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape. This may cause the video and audio of these files to be out of sync. Make sure the audio sample rate of your capture preset matches the sample rate of your tape.
If find this odd though cause the tape should be standard, NTSC dv 48 K. Any suggestions. Also how do I reset my final cut so that when I plug in a camera it always reads it as what it recognizes. I ask this because I had to used the setting uncontrollable device because on the original old 8mm tapes there is no time code so I had to capture that way.
Anyhow, any suggestions on this would be great for if I recapture. Cause I could line it up by eye but want to find the problem so I know for the future. Thank you.

This is a recent problem that seems related to a recent upgrade of QuickTime. Here's why.
In the last month, a rash of these posts have begun to appear:
"DV Capture Audio problem"
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6708693&#6708693
"audio/video"
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6591262&#6591262
Plus this thread, plus my own.
In my case, nothing changed in my operating system or Final Cut Pro version. I upgraded to QuickTime 7.1.6, and the problem began. I have upgraded all the way to 7.4 to no avail. When I attempt to import a DV clip using the same Sony DVCAM deck that imported the same clip in December, I get the error every time. Nothing has changed in the tape, the deck, the Project or Final Cut. I am simply unable to import DV video. I can import other kinds (Panasonic P2, for example), but DV is a no go. I cannot get rid of this error.

Logic X - Weird Sample Rate Error - what Laptop should I upgrade to?

I have a MacBook Pro 13 - Mid 2009 (2.26 Core Duo) with 4GB Ram updated to Maverick to test of Logic X. I also have a iMac 3.2 Core i3 with 12 GB Ram running as Snow Leopard and Logic 9. Generally, the iMac doesn't have any issues with projects with lots of plugins; however, the laptop would sometimes choke up on Logic 9 on projects that had lots of third party plugins. I didn't update the Imac because I didn't want to deal with the loss of 32 bit plugins (update **** as I call it)
After updating to Mavericks and running 32 Lives (to resurrect my lost 32 bit plugins), The laptop now will not play a project that has 6 midi tracks and a single audio bass track. I get a weird error that the sample rate is 32456 or some arbitrary number. I updated the Core driver (Line6 Guitarport), but that didn't help. Sample rate was set to 128 (on Logic 9 it is usually set at 64). I then tried upped it to 512 and it seems to work OK, but I thought that Logic X was supposed to be less demanding due to running 64 bit? Any ideas what is up? I really don't want to run the audio at 512 due to the high latency.
After going back and forth, I'd rather update the iMac to the newest version (a quad i7 with the 3GB Fusion) than a new laptop - spending $3000 for a laptop just seems plain nuts, especially since I would only use it infrequently (I use my iPad for browsing on the go).
Anyway, what used laptop should I upgrade to that will run Logic X without having to pony up $3000 for a Quad Core i7 with 16 GB rams? I also need a laptop that I can upgrade the HD to 1TB SSD.
Big thanks. Love this web site.

The sample rate is not 128 or so, you probably mean the buffer size...
But the performance drop makes sense: switching between a 64 bit process and 32 bit doesn't come free: it cost performance and creates a jitter, which also either shows as performance lost or instability.
You really have to move away from outdated 32 bit AudioUnits, sorry. Ask the vendors to finally release 64 bit versions, it has been several years since 64 bit is available.

Unsupported sample rate error?

Randomly soundtrack pro has corrupted itself, I will be working on a project one day, close out open it the next day and when I try to playback I hear lots of chop. I then noticed that none of the sample loops will play, they just cut off after half a second of playing. In the general tab I enabled Alerts- I get the following error *"UNSUPPORTED SAMPLE RATE, The output device cannot support the sample rate of this project. The output will play at a rate of 44.1 KHz. When you export a project mix, it will be exported at the project sample rate."* any clues??

Check the sample rate of your audio hardware.
If you are monitoring through your Mac then look at *Audio Midi Setup.app* found in your Utilities folder, and make sure the audio output samplerate matches your project.

FCE Capture-sample rate error

After capturing Digital8 footage off my Sony DCR-TRV310, I get this error.....
"The audio sample rate of one or more of your captured media files does not match the sample rate on your source tape. This may cause the video and audio of these media files to be out of sync. Make sure the audio sample rate of capture preset matches the sample rate of your tape."
So far, in spot checking the media it seems to be OK, but I'm anal about errors! I couldn't find the audio sample rate for the camera/tape in the sony manual, any ideas? Also were do I select the audio sample rate of capture preset, even if I knew the tapes sample rate? Or is this nothing to worry about
Thanks, Schooner

Hi(Bonjour)!
Usually, camcorders allows to set the audio sample rate to 12 bit (32 kHz) or 16bit (48 kHz).
The audio sample rate for DCR-TRV 310 can be set to 12 or 16 bit. See page 57 in this user manual:
http://www.mediacollege.com/equipment/manual/sony/camera/dcrtrv315.pdf
FCE easy setup allows to select DV-NTSC 32 or 48 kHz for sequence. This settings apply to capture session too. The message you've got means that the audio sample rate on tape doesn't match the sequence audio format.
This problem may give a drift synch between audio and video.
First check the item format for video clip in browser. The audio sample rate should be 32 or 48 kHz. Note it and select the right setup in easy setup dialog. Create a new sequence and insert your video clip.

Audio Sampling Rate Error?

Hello,
I am mable to create a .dv of an iMovie in Quicktime, but when I try to export it as a .wmv (something I've done before) I get an error that my file contains different audio sampling rates and then aborts. Any ideas of how/where to fix these rates? (all I am using is audio from original .dv film (16 bit) and a jingle from the sound effects library.) Any help is appreciated!

Sample rate error

Hi everyone!
This is my first massage in this great forum. I'm a beginner in LV so be patient, moreover I apologize for my poor English... Anyway I hope to be clear.
I have to read different signals from different sensors such as pressure sensors and speed sensors. Both of them give to my SCXI module (SCXI-1303) voltage signals. I aquire them with PCI-6220 M series board.
At the beginning I created a task for each signal (using MAX)... They worked properly at the sample rate of 1 KHz only if not running at the same time. I later discovered that more tasks of the same type can't run simultaneously on my board. So I have later created a global channel for each signal and then I have created a new task adding the channel of analog input (voltage type) in it (always using MAX). I chose as sample rate 1KHz as before but now there's an error:
Error -200332 occurred at DAQ Assistant
Possible
Reason(s):
Specified sample rate is higher than the fastest rate
supported by the device.
Property:
SampClk.Rate
Corresponding Value: 1.0 e3
Maximum Value:
480.769231
Why? Where is my mistake?Please help me.
Thank you!!
p.s. I use Labview 8
I love the smell of napalm in the morning

OK.
This information certainly helps.
As you can see in appendix A page 1 of the 1100 manual the settling time of the 10KHz filter is around 200 us. A little math leads us to 500Hz which is really close to your value. The problem is that the 1100 module has only one filter shared between channels.
This filter needs a bit of time to settle to the correct value while switching from one channel to the other, clearly if you don’t scan between channel you don’t occur in this problem.
I don’t know anything about your application, maybe you can circumvent the problem running one task at a time and closing and opening each task with a ms delay (Typical software time)
Kind Regards
