Why can't I hear the first note until it loops around?

Hello Everyone,
I have a littlr problem. I have quantized a drum pattern so that the kick drum is on every fourth of a bar. The problem is....I can't hear the first kick until it loops around. Any ideas as to why this is?
Many thanks,
JV

Look at the piano roll (or the event list) and make
sure that the first hit is on or just inside the
first beat of the measure. It might sound fine, but
if it's even a single tick in front of the first beat
of your sequence, then you won't hear it, since
playback starts at measure 1, beat 1, tick 1.
Most of the time when this problem occurs it is not because the note is behind the downbeat. And with note chase=on that shouldn't present a problem anyay.
And moving the beat one tick later than intended? If the tempo was right up there, say, 170 or something, maybe you wouldn't perceive that. But at slower tempos, a tick is a huge amount of time, especially for drums, and personally I wouldn't recommend changing the intended timing of your notes to suit the sequencer's inability to play things correctly on the downbeat, whatever the cause may be.
The easiest workaround for this (and it's not perfect, but still a workaround) is to start playback slightly before the downbeat.

  • Why can't I hear the phone ring when I call somebody, but if I put the speaker on it works

    Why can't I hear the phone ring when I call somebody, but if I put the speaker on I can hear the ringing?

    Don't jump all the way to restoring just yet.  Check to make sure there's nothing in the headphone jack, and nothing covering the microphones (including the noise cancelling microphone at the top next to the headset jack)
    1. Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    2. Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    3. Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    4. Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • Why can't I hear the person I'm calling???

    Ok I know the subject line sounds like I'm a couple sandwiches short of a picnic.  But honestly just a couple days ago my Blackberry phone rang, I go to answer the call and I can't hear the caller on the phone, but they can hear me.  The only way I can have a conversation with anyone is by using my speaker.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this happening and how to correct the problem???

    I spent sometime with their on-line techs, they restored my phone to factory settings but the same problem was happening.  Because I've still have a warranty on my phone, I was able to have it replaced.
    If that happens to be your case, remember to back up or sync your phone with your computer.  You'll loose all your information if not.  Must be a batch of defective phones, we must be the lucky ones to have 2 of them huh?
    Good luck!

  • Why can't i hear the other party on my iphone?

    I managed to solve this problem.
    Here's how I arrived at the solution:
    This morning I could hear the other party fine.
    This afternoon I could not hear, except by using the speakerphone.
    How could this be?
    What had I done "wrong" between the morning and afternoon?
    It turns out, I had downloaded a new app (wi-drive) and updated another (Google Translate)
    So I just deleted those two apps.
    Lo and behold, I could hear the other person.
    My advice: if you can't hear the other person, just try deleting the last apps you downloaded before the problem started.
    It might just work, as it did for me.
    good luck

  • Why can't  attendees hear the sound that is embedded in my PowerPoint slide?

    I have sound embedded in a PowerPoint presentation.  I can hear the sound on my computer but the attendees or participants don't hear the sound.  What do I need to do so that they will also hear the sound.

    Audio on your computer is not transmitted via screen share. I suppose you could hold a mic near your computer speakers to broadcast the audio.
    You can also try uploading the PPT(X) to the Share pod in Connect and see if the audio uploads with it, but it may not.

  • Why can I only forward the first page of file?

    When I try to forward a PDF file from my Mac it will only send the first page and it is not in file form.

    Pretty sure that's it with a Mac. It just shows the cover page (page 1) in the body of the email.
    When the receiver gets it, they should see the rest.

  • Why can't I hear the bbc i player since yesterday?

    BBC demands the flash player. I heard many dramas  with your flash player there.  Monday night there was all in order. But since yesterday I can't hear anything, though I've installed the new flash Player version. But there is only silence  - and I want so much hear the stories of bbc 7.

      Thanks for the solution.  I kept the plastic on there as a protector, but cut the bottom off and completely forgot about the top of it.  I feel stupid, but I'm grateful for the answer to the problem.

  • Why can't I hear the audio for my slide show outside of PSE 9?

    I have prepared a slide show with audio in Photoshop Elements 9.  It plays fine within the PSE 9 viewer, both slides and audio.  However, when I try to view it on Windows Media Player, the audio does not play, though the slide show does.  I am also interested in playing the slide show on my TV through a DVD player.  I have converted the slide show with audio to an avi format using Free Make to allow this.  Again, the slide show plays, but the audio does not.  Anyone have an idea of what I am doing wrong?  Thanks for your help.

    What codec is your audio encoded with—what is the extension on the file, and what bitrate is the audio?  Some of this information might be visible if you do a right-click Properties -> Details on the file in Windows Explorer.
    It sounds like PSE9 has a private codec that can play it, but the Windows system, in general, doesn’t have a codec to support it.  AVI is just an envelope for the existing video and audio.  If the audio is using a non-supported codec, then wrapping it in a AVI won’t help.  The audio needs to be something more universal.  I’d guess that a fixed, moderate bit-rate MP3 would be supported, whereas a FLAC or very high or possibly a variable-rate bit rate MP3 wouldn’t be as universally supported.

  • Why can't I read the Sticky Notes I put in my PDF?

    I've made PDFs before and added sticky notes, which I can go back to and read later.  But this time around, when I added sticky notes and saved the document, later on when I went back the sticky note image was there, but I couldn't access any of the note itself.  I thought maybe it had to do with an expired trial of Adobe Pro, but I've since upgraded and still can't read them.

    Hi bscraver,
    It could be that the opacity of the sticky note changed. Do the sticky notes appear if you choose Comments > Comments List? If so, try selecting one in the Comments List right-click and check the Properties. If the opacity is 0% increase it.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Why can't i hear the song's that i have buy on my MP3?

    sorry for my bad english, hope someone understand! please answer me

    Unless that MP3 player can also use MP4 audio, you need to convert them in iTunes to MP3 first. In any case, locate the song files and consult the device's instructions to transfer them.
