audio slow down bug - zeroing in on the cause
2007-12-18 by GAmoore@aol.com
I have experienced a problem with Logic 8, fairly consistently. I record say 30 pieces of audio on a single track (I am doing a gear test to see what really sounds best when I burn to a CD). I found that about one of these tracks each time is strangely slowed down. As if a 45 rpm record were played at 33 rpm - the speed is slowed down, and the pitched it pitched down, maybe a 5th of so. Then after about 10 seconds it comes up to speed. I finally think I found the cause of it. The problem usually occurs, when I have left the computer idle for a few minutes - maybe 3-4 minutes even. When I hit record, there is a long delay - apparently waiting for the hard disk to spin up (I am recording to a 2nd internal drive). Many times these recordings are ok, but all of the bad ones seem to have occurred during this spin up period. I am going to try to alter the energy saver settings to not allow the drives to power down, while I am doing recording. ************************************** See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
