Linking Soundtrack Pro to audio files stored on an external drive

FCP user but using SP for the first time. I have the large sized audio files stored on an external drive which at the moment I can't access from within SP. Just wondering the best way to link to the audio files?

I actually use the 'save as' function that consolidates all the audio clips and move them onto a separate drive. I'm doing a lot of large projects that have more clips than are actually used. Consolidation means I can move and work on another machine. And in the end it's easier to archive this single directory of files. Works for me, especially because sometimes the audio sources are scattered in too many places on my system.

External HDS/HLS storage: Invoking files stored on an external drive.

Followed the following article to add an external drive to store our vod streams (article is no longer available):
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flashmediaserver/devguide/WS0432746db30523c21e63e3d12eea2a8fc0 -8000.html#WS0432746db30523c21e63e3d12eea2a8fc0-7ffd
FMS 4.5 Streaming HDS from non default location
Connected an external hard drive to the server with the following folders on it (vod2 > media), so the path is: G:\vod2\media. New video files are inside the last folder (media).
1. Modified: rootinstall/conf/fms.ini: added a new parameter for HTTP and RTMP streaming: VOD_COMMON_DIR_2 = G:\vod2\media
2. Modified: rootinstall/applications/vod/Application.xml: Added <StreamManager><VirtualDirectory><Streams>/vod2;${VOD_COMMON_DIR_2}</Streams>
3. Modified HLS and HDS content storage in httpd.conf (copied and pasted under original settings): The location names are /hls-vod2 and /hds-vod2, correct?
<Location /hls-vod2>
    HLSHttpStreamingEnabled true
    HLSMediaFileDuration 8000
    HttpStreamingContentPath "G:\vod2\media"
</Location>
<Location /hds-vod2>
    HttpStreamingJITPEnabled true
    HttpStreamingContentPath "G:\vod2\media"
    HttpStreamingJITConfAllowed true
    JitFmsDirPath ".."
    Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Location>
If all of the above modifications are correct, what is the correct url to invoke the hds streams stored on this external drive through rtmp? The original instructions were not consistently clear about this. I have a file called 1.Test.mov in that folder. I've tried:
rtmp://localhost/hds-vod2/mp4:1.Test.mov
rtmp://localhost/hds-vod2/1.Test.mov
rtmp://localhost/hds-vod2/1.Test.mov.f4m
etc.
http://localhost/hls-vod2/1.Test.mov.m3u8 Works for HLS
http://localhost/hds-vod2/1.Test.mov.f4m Works too.
I need the rtmp url so that I can make a .smil file for rtmp fallback, such as:
smil>
<head>
<meta base="rtmp://localhost/hls-vod2/"/>
</head>
<body>
<switch>
            <video src="mp4:1.Test_1500kbps.mov" system-bitrate="1500000" width="1920" height="1080" />
            <video src="mp4:1.Test_1200kbps.mov" system-bitrate="1500000" width="1920" height="1080" />
           <video src="mp4:1.Test_800kbps.mov" system-bitrate="1500000" width="1920" height="1080" />
</switch>
    </body>
</smil>
Thanks

All of Adobe's documentation says that files specified in the vod_common_dir can be streamed from both http and rtmp, but there is no specific mention of what the correct rtmp URL is for files stored on an additional hard drive. Here's what I did to get around this: FMS 3.5 can't connect to media on other drive
1. HLS streaming:
    a. Modified: rootinstall/conf/fms.ini: added a new parameter for HTTP and RTMP streaming: VOD_COMMON_DIR_2 = G:\vod2\media
    b. Modified: rootinstall/applications/vod/Application.xml: Added <StreamManager><VirtualDirectory><Streams>/vod2;${VOD_COMMON_DIR_2}</Streams>
2. RTMP streaming: Added the file path of the external storage in the virtual directory of the Application.xml file without specifying or naming the application.
    a. <Streams>/;G:\vod2\media</Streams>
    b. The rtmp for this follows the starndard URL convention: URL Syntax: [protocol]://[servername]/[application]/[codecID:][streamname][.extension]
    c. In my case, this would be: rtmp://localhost/vod/mp4:1.Test.mov
It would be nice if this worked according to Adobe's documentation, and hopefully someone can chime in with the correct answer to the original question. If not, this gets rtmp and http streaming to work from the same external location (what vod_common_dir is supposed to be able to do).
Thanks

Soundtrack Pro corrupting audio files during editing

Using S'trackPro 1.1 on both G5s and Mac Pros, I've experienced a recurring issue when editing long audio files (16bit 48Khz aiffs of 60-120 min durations).
Import files directly in Audio File edit mode, usually apply a limiter and/or normalize and save with new file name. I often find as I move around the waveform to preview results, the playback stops responding accurately, playing the wrong part of the file randomly.
Once saved, the file seems to have random "splurts" of audio appear in inappropriate places throughout. For example, a 2 sec "splurt" from the middle of a 120 min file may appear 10 minutes before the end, seemingly at random.
It's odd that I've experienced this on numerous machines, all with quite different specs.
Any suggestions appreciated.

HT201250 I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them?

I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them? No, they were not part of previous Time Machine backups, and I have checked both the hard drive the documents were lost on and the new one that I now use for backups. Any suggestions would be helpful, as the lost files are old pictures that are gone forever. :[ Thanks!

1. Yes, if both drives are formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
2. Reformat the drives if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and remove the drive with the pictures from the list of items set to be excluded.

My Mac crashed. I got a new hard drive. I reinstalled Lightroom. Fortunately ircats are stored on an external drive. How do I import all of the old catalogues from external drive into a new LR catalogue. I have done it before. It has just been many years and I can't recall how.

If you had stored your catalog files on an external drive, then all you have to do is double-click on them to open them and use them.
Or you could move them to the internal drive and double-click on them once the move is completed.
To create a single catalog file from multiple ones, you could use File->Import from Another Catalog

Want to use a new laptop to access my music stored on an external drive

I have my music stored on an external drive and access it through my old laptop. I have a new laptop and have loaded iTunes, my songs appear, but I seem not to be able to replicate all my playlists even though the new laptop is accessing the same external drive. What's wrong?

Using software instruments that are stored on an external drive.

I recently bought Logic 9. Doing a custom install, I stored the instrument library on an external disk thinking it would be easy to use the instruments at a later time. Now, however, when I create a software instrument track, I only see the basic exs instruments. I can't find any further help on how to use my full library of instruments stored on my external drive. This must be simple, but I can't figure out. Any help would be much appreciated.

Logic looks at the Garageband library for these.
You'll need to go in there and create an alias to where you've put your content, otherwise they won't show up in the Garageband instruments section.

Moving library stored on an external drive to another computer - Help!

I am currently changing computers. Both are running Windows XP, both are running iTunes 8.0.2.20
On the current computer I have all my music stored on an external drive named L:. I am going to move L: to the new computer and keep it named the same. I have exported my library on the first computer. Here is where I want to make sure I have it right, when I import the library on the new computer, since it will be reading from the same drive name, do I need to change anything else to make sure this goes smoothly?
I find lots of instructions out there for moving from C: to C:, but can't find anything for a set up like I have.
Thanks in advance,
Sean

Or:
Copy the iTunes folder from the old computer to the same location in your user area on the new one. Attach the external drive and start iTunes. If you have put it in your Home > Music folder the application will automatically know to look for it there and becausse you are using the same library it will be configured to look for media on the external drive.

Why Do The Latest Versions Of Soundtrack and Soundtrack Pro Use .caf Files?

About 3 years ago Soundtrack and Soundtrack Pro started using .caf files instead of .aif ones.
The .caf files appear to take up more space than .aif and of course need rendering before they can be used in FCE/FCP.
So what is the logic behind their use?
I would add that I have skimmed through several articles which claim they have advantages ..... which I can't understand.
I only know that when used normally in FCE/FCP they seem to me a backward step, requiring rendering - almost like using .mp3 but without the space-saving features.

Here's a link from Apple:
http://developer.apple.com/DOCUMENTATION/MusicAudio/Reference/CAFSpec/CAFoverview/CAFoverview.html
It touts "unrestricted file size" as one advantage of CAFs. Has any of us ever exceeded the supposed 4GB limit of AIF files?? This is from the page linked above:
"Whereas AIFF, AIFF-C, and WAV files are limited in size to 4 gigabytes, which might represent as little as 15 minutes of audio, CAF files use 64-bit file offsets, eliminating practical limits. A standard CAF file can hold audio data with a playback duration of hundreds of years."

Play or download a WAV audio file stored in a BLOB

Hi all, I was hoping someone could point me to the proper steps to take to download or play a WAV audio file I have stored in a BLOB column (from APEX). I'm sure it's probably pretty easy, but I can't quite find exactly the right approach.
Basically all I want to accomplish is show a report, standard or IR, that will show some kind of link if there is a non-null BLOB value for a column -- the column only stores WAV audio files. I'd like the link (image, button, whatever) to either play the audio file directly (using whatever desktop player, plugin whatever the user might have), or at least prompt to download the WAV file for playback later.
Any advice on how to easily do this?
Thanks very much
David

Logic Pro X: Audio file not found?

I have Logic Pro X, and this problem has never occurred before but...
I was mixing one of my songs and everything was perfect, then I made sure to save it.
As I reopened literally 10 seconds later (not sure why I even closed it) it was showing me a message that said "Audio file not found"
At least 12 audio files went missing out of nowhere. It's only the files recorded from Logic that are not found.
I tried to locate them through my Finder but I don't know where my audio files are stored onto my macbook, and it doesn't seem to be in an easily accessible place.
It's just weird because they were all fine just before I closed Logic, then they disappeared.
I checked the audio bin in Logic and they seem to be there but they seem corrupted.
If anyone can help, or at least show me where audio files are stored on your mac from recording through Logic, that may help.
Thank you.

To clarify:
Logic Pro X
I have also experienced this issue as a result of having recording delay set other than zero, and rectified it by returning to 0.
Otherwise,
[Command 8] or
Window > Open Project Audio, select audio files that appear flatline, click 'Audio File' menu at top left, click 'Refresh Overview(s)'.
No way I know of to auto-enable this.
