Audio Problems
No sound, bounces out of sync, songs missing from the library, and uploads that fail.
I Hear Nothing in the Studio
- 1Click once anywhere in the Studio. Browsers block sound until you interact with the page.
- 2Check your device volume, that the browser tab is not muted, and that you did not press M (mute preview).
- 3Open Audio on the rail and check the volume sliders are not at zero.
- 4Check what bounces play in Basics > Sound is not set to silent for this mode.
- 5Press Reset and sync in the Audio section to restart playback from the beginning.
Bounces Are Out of Sync With the Music
Timing drifts when the preview cannot keep up. Lower the heaviest settings (see Performance & Optimization): a scene that runs smoothly stays on the beat. Also check Perfect beat bouncing in the Audio section and the mode's own sync settings.
The export is timed frame by frame, so a clip that drifted in a stuttering preview is usually on the beat in the finished video.
My Song or MIDI Is Missing
| Symptom | Why | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| An upload is missing on another device | It was kept on this device only. | Sign in and keep uploads in your account library so they appear everywhere. |
| A mode's song list does not show my song | Some pickers list MIDI and built-in tunes only. | Use the song slicing option to bounce through an audio song. |
| Uploads disappeared after a reset | Reset never deletes uploads. | Check you are signed in to the same account. |
An Upload Fails
Upload a MIDI file (.mid or .midi) for note-by-note bounces, or an MP3 or WAV for a song. Uploads are limited to 10 MB per file. Check the file opens in another app and that you are online. If a MIDI plays silence, it may have no notes on the track the Studio picked: open the MIDI tools in the Audio section and choose a different track. See Uploading MIDI and Songs.
