WAV file does not sound as good as project files

Hello,
I am a new MAC user. So I am still trying to get the hang of things: )
I am using Soundtrack Pro 2 to master a CD. The original CD has problems - some noise, low levels, EQ issues.
I began by opening a new audio project and bringing in one track(song)at a time.
The tracks are 2 channel stereo.
With help from many of the program tools, I have managed to create a better overall quality of sound.
My problem seems to be when I go to save the finished mix to a WAV file - the saved file does not have the same "punch" or even volume level that the working project file has. and in some cases sounds worse.
I have also noticed that just by opening a new audio file project the "export" option is grayed out thus I must save a "copy of"
Again since I am new to using the MAC I may be missing something.
Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
acreations

OK - how about this:
What would be the best format to save the project file as - getting the closest match of sound quality?

  • This file does not appear to be a photoshop file error.

    Hello,
    I know this has been covered a few times already, but none of the previous threads about it were able to help my situation.
    Ok so here is what i did:
    Exported a JPEG from a timeline in FCP. Brought that JPEG into PS (i am using CS3), and changed the image size from 1920x1080 to 720x480. Then saved as a JPEG, didn't tick any boxes, just used default save as settings.
    I then brought those images into my Encore DVD Project, added them to the library, then placed one into a already made menu, and "sent to back".. so it became the new background. I did this with two menu's today. Note i have actually done this same exact process many times without problem. I then tried to build a dvd image of the project, and i got the "this file does not appear to be a photoshop file". Now it won't even let me open those menu's (plus another one, which i made a long time ago, and have even successfully built DVD's with), to edit them. I tried removing all the new JPEGS i added today, from the library, but still i get the same message.
    The menu's that i now can't open, took a very long time to make, and i need to have this DVD completed ASAP.. as it is being released world wide in a couple of weeks and i need to get it replicated. So i don't actually have time to remake these menu's. So if anyone can help me, that would be much appreciated, as i have studio exec's cracking down on me.
    Thanks in advance :-)

    Now, if one Imports the JPEG with its extension changed to PSD as a Menu, then the Menu is created, including the necessary Layers. The Menu is NOW a PSD, and when Opened in PS will reflect the Layer structure (try this at home). If one had constructed Buttons in the JPEG, they would now only be graphics on that one single Background Layer in the JPEG. They would not function as Buttons, but could be useful graphics for other things. One would then need to add real Button Layer Sets to the PSD to be able to add any navigation.
    Back in the post above, I suggested doing the Save_As to JPEG to see how things get changed. Use that in another test - Import that JPEG as a Menu. In Encore, try to Link to what had originally been Buttons in that Imported JPEG. What happens? Can you Link to them, even though you are now working with the created PSD?
    Now, add a Button, or two, from the Library. Choose Edit in Photoshop, and look at the Layer and Layer Set structure. Things have changed from the original JPEG, with only the Background Layer. You now have that Library Button's Layer Set structure.
    Good luck, and hope that this helps,
    Hunt
    Here are looks at the structure, using the Library Menu Business>Clock:
    The Menu in PSD with the Layers Palette Open
    Same Image With Layers Flattened to Save As a JPEG
    What the JPEG Looks Like As a Flattened JPEG
    The only way to Import that JPEG into Encore as a Menu would be to change the file extension to PSD, but what appear to be Buttons would NOT be Buttons, but just static pixels in the Background.

  • Error Message** This file does not appear to be a photshop file

    Okay.. so I have been researching forums and have seen this message throughout, my issue seems to be slightly different. When I am in Encore CS3 and trying to create a menu, I import my background designed in photoshop, have the buttons set up correctly, test it in the preview screen and everything works correctly, the file is recognized as a psd file, and even saves as a project in encore. When I go to build my DVD I get an error saying "This file does not appear to be a photoshop file, although when I check the properties it recognizes it as a psd.. any suggestions?

    Adam,
    Not sure that I understand this message:
    And Actually yes I do have a circle in my button to play now.
    Can you enlighten me a bit. Does this mean that En has accepted the PSD, or something else.
    If something else, I would also look closely at the Layers in the PSD. While I do not recall very small Layers creating an issue in En, they have been known to do so in PrPro. This is often something like a very small logo, on a Layer by itself, with nothing but transparency around it. In PrPro, a message, similar to yours is offered up, but that is in Import, and you got it only with the Build.
    Too bad that the Check Project function is not a full pre-flight test of all Assets, like in InDesign, but it falls short, as it only checks for DVD-compliance in the navigation. I've filed Feature Request for more, but since En is built on the Sonic AuthorCore modules, I suppose that it's not as easy, as I would have hoped for.
    Good luck, and help me understand the above,
    Hunt

  • "This file does not appear to be a Photoshop file"

    Ok, I used the first edition of Encore in the past, but I just installed the version that came with Premiere CS3. I used Photoshop 6.0 to do my menus in the past, but just installed the trial of Photoshop CS3.
    Two things:
    My old menus I created in Photoshop 6.0 won't import into the new Encore.
    The new menus (I opened my old menus with CS3 and saved them out.) won't import into Encore either. In both cases, Encore says:
    "This file does not appear to be a photoshop file."
    The files are indeed all photoshop .PSD files and the Photoshop 6.0 files are actually menu files that were in the same .ncor project I used on the old Encore and opened on the new one.
    Why won't Encore read these?
    Thanks!

    Bummer,
    I hoped that I had helped.
    Let's play 20 Questions:
    The PSD files were originally created in PS 6, and you have Opened them in PS-CS3, from which they were Saved. Correct?
    Did CS3 throw any error messages?
    You state that they were Menus in Encore. Which version, and did they function perfectly there?
    I assume that when used in a previous ver. of Encore, they did function, but now you have Opened, worked on and Saved from PS-CS3. What changes were made?
    Was the Color Mode, or Bit-Depth changed, or were Alpha Channels introduced?
    Has your OS been changed?
    Will these files still Open fine in PS-CS3?
    I'm trying to find the point that they ceased to Import, as they should and find out what might have changed with them. You might want to do a bit of a timeline on the life of these files, i.e. 1.) created in PS6. 2.) used as Menus in Encore2. 3.) Opened and changed in PS-CS3 by doing X. 4.) Saved out as PSDs and attempted to Import into Encore CS3 with above error message...
    Something has to have changed, and the task is to find out what that is/was.

  • This file does not appear to be a Photoshop file - Menu won't import

    I was searching on the forums and found that some other people have had this problem, but I didn't see any solutions.
    When I try to build my DVD from Encore, I get this error "This fiel does not appear to be a Photoshop file.
    I created my menu in Photoshop CS4, imported it as a menu.  When I preview in Encore it works fine?
    The photoshop file is 8 bit color...should it be 16?  I tried that to, but it doesn't seem to change anything?
    Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

    The 2 bit image object that shows up to the right of the buttons on the highlighted state still was a little too crisp, but
    I'm going to try a little vertical blur like you said to see what happens.
    Well, the Vertical Blur will not work there. The Sub-picture Highlights cannot have any Styles, or Filters added to them. What I do to "simulate" a "glow" is to to create a second Sub-picture Highligh, in the next Layer down (in the same Button Layer Set)t, ever so slightly larger. I then set it's Transparency in Encore to be about 50%-30% of what the "original" Sub-picture Highlight's Transparency was. You can also assign another number from the Menu Color Set (this is done in PS), and then adjust that number's value in Encore to be a shade lighter of the original Sub-picture Highlight's. You will end up with maybe a 2 and a 3, and need to pick those colors from a Custom Color Set in Encore - cannot be done in PS, at least through CS3 and I do not believe in CS4 either. That might bear checking out, with someone like Jeff Bellune, or Jbowden. See this LINK for some tips, and this one for the full ARTICLE. The link to the version posted on Adobe has been lost, with the changeover in the forum. You can post and read at Muvipix.com, without a subscription, or even the free signup. Because of the wealth of Functional Content, stock music and Menus, etc., you might want to spend a bit of time poking around there.
    Though most of the article and discussion revolve around removing part of the Sub-picture Highlight, the final steps are for adding what appears to be a Blur. Remember, you only have ON, OFF, COLOR (limited to 4, including the background) and TRANSPARENCY, for each pixel in a Sub-picture Highlight. That's why you cannot have Styles, or similar. You have to create the illusion.
    Also, I created my lower third in Photoshop and saved out a .PNG file to import into Premiere.
    When I play the DVD, there seems to be some noise in the title.  Do you think that's because of how
    I saved the video out or because I used a .PNG?
    I do not know. I have never used the PNG format. Instead, I create all of my Titles (the ones that I do outside of Titler) in PS, often using AI for shapes, that will be Rasterized in the process. I do my Titles there, and then Save_As .PSD. If I wish to animate some of the Layers, I'll Import as a Sequence, if not, I Import as Footage. I always start from the image Preset to match my Project, so frame size and PAR are right to begin with. The only reason that I can think of for using PNG is the Transparency, but PSD offers that, and so much more.
    There is much that one can do with the animation of PSD Layers in PrPro. It's not as powerful, or as full-featured, as is AE, but many are surprised at how good it is.
    Best news is that you are almost there, and that things looked good on the DVD. If you have any trouble following the steps for the simulated Glow in the second Sub-picture Highlight, just let me know. It's been a whle, since I wrote that, and might need to re-visit it myself.
    Good luck,

  • Downloading csv file does not ask for where to store file

    Firefox is set to "Always ask me where to save files".
    I have a WebService from which to download a download.csv file via a POST request (must be a POST request and not a GET request due to data issues).
    I'm using jquery.fileDownload.js in the Website to achieve this. When pressing the download button, the screen 'Opening download.csv' opens with the option 'Save File' preset. After pressing OK, an explorer window should occur to be able to choose the file location. But it is NOT shown. Instead nothing more happens.
    What could be the problem?
    P.S.: in other browsers it works fine.

    Hello gnittala,
    thanks for your response.
    1. MIME type is set correctly.
    2. When using this config, the file is downloaded correctly.
    Now I found out, what was the problem:
    the jquery.fileDownload.js plugin was deleting the internally used iframe too early, so that the explorer window could not be displayed. Keeping the iframe longer (at least until explorer window is shown, or easier reuse it in next download call) solves the problem.

  • Edits to a JPG Smart Object  in a layered TIFF file:  DOES NOT Save to the originally placed file?

    When placing a JPG as a Smart Object (and even multiples) into a layered TIFF file:  If I open each layered Smart Object JPG, make changes as a JPG and SAVE the file, I expect the ORIGINAL SOURCE JPG file that was placed to also be saved- I thought that is the file I was editing!
    This SUCKS!  To capture my edits to the original individual files:  I now have to open each layed TIF file, Edit each smart object JPG and SAVE AS to overwrite the original and capture my changes?  Is this the way its always been- I don't think it has.  How can I edit a Smart Object file in a layered document and ALSO update the SOURCE file?

    You should edit the original jpg, and then replace the smart object. There is a utility that makes this easier, if you do many of these. Looks liek this

  • My Ipod nano 4th gen DOES NOT sound good.... why? HELP

    My new iPod nano 4 GB does not sound good. I have tried everything: reset it, record new differentd CD's, changed the earphones and nothing works. Music sounds with very bad quality. Is it configuration problem?, is it itunes problem?, is it a manufacturing problem?. What can I do?

    It takes around 2 weeks to get a replacement, a bit less if it is not personalised. Apparently a lot of the ipods coming out of China have audio/visual problems at the moment. Guess they should work on their quality control process.

  • Access DB (& .ldb file) does not close after crystal reports

    Post Author: mgold
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    Access DB (& .ldb file) does not close after crystal reports
    Hi! We have a VB application using Crystal Reports 6 that has worked successfully on hundreds of systems for over 10 years. Now, on one network, the application and access database does not close. It seems to hang on the [.Close] command.
    When we open the application an peruse the screens without opening up a report (using crystal reports), the application and access db closes fine. But as soon as we run a report and then close the report and try to close the application, the access db does not close. Many of the screens open the db and grab data from the access db, but it's only after running crystal reports that we have this problem. (Please see more information below.)
    Setup: Application and data (access 97 db) reside on a server in the same folder, but application shortcut is kicked off on client PC. Kicking off the shortcut on the client PC means that the image/process runs on the client PC (not on the server). In this problem case, the application shortcut is on a Windows XP Pro Version 2002 SP2 PC with the app & data on a Windows 2003 server. Users are local Admins on their PCs with "Full Control"over the directory and files on the server where the data (access 97 db) resides. This type of setup is typical and has worked without any problems for clients.
    The application is written in Visual Basic, using Crystal Reports 6 (using DAO). We close the recordset, set it to zero and then it hangs on closing the db (.Close command).
    A few key pieces of information:
    - The application closes fine if the app & data (access 97 db) are on a local PC. This includes closing fine if the application is run directly on the Windows 2003 server where the data is stored.
    - It worked on this client's network until sometime in the last few weeks.
    - One thing that changed is that the company is using VMWare on its servers. Not sure if they started using VMWare at the same time as it started failing. This may be unrelated. Possibly other things changed, but can't get any more information ... yet.
    - It works fine running the application from a Windows Vista PC with a user who is a domain admin.
    - The access db and application hang for about 10-20 minutes and then eventually closes. It appears that somehow
    Crystal Reports is keeping the db open, but I'm not sure why.The application doesn't quit and the database doesn't close even if I try to end the task with the Task Manager.
    - The Crystl32.ocx version being used is 8.0.0.4 (if that matters).
    - I copied 6 month old program files and database files to a test folder on the Windows 2003 server. It fails using these files that worked fine 6 months ago.
    Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated! If you know of another good place to post this, please let me know.
    Thanks!
    - Mark

    See Lorna...it's almost second nature to you now,
    editing those js files! I TOLD you you could do it!
    Mark, it's EERIE that you should say this to me today because this is exactly what I have been thinking! I can put a song on a page with one eye shut now, and I can zip around those files pretty well (except for the recent fiasco where I didn't even look at the right folder). I also notice that the level of my writing is sounding more technical and familiar with digital world jargon. I remember how you told me I could do it, and you were right. You all were right and I feel more knowledgeable and at a point where I suspect that I can take steps on my own. HTML is a strange land, but just being able to edit that .js file and FIND it by navigating for it in Text Edit has made me feel much more competent.
    Before iWeb I didn't realize what Text Edit was for. I used it to take quick fast short notes. I never understood that concept of "opening something up in so and so application." The first time I clicked OPEN in Text Edit, and I saw all those danged files staring at me with beady eyes, I wanted to throw a white hanky and run for the hills. Not any more!

  • I am having trouble using reverb of any kind; it does not sound natural, but rather "pixilated." Does anyone have any ideas for a solution? I have used Silververb and Space Designer and am having the same problem...

    I am using Logic Pro 9 with two MXL 990 microphones in my piano and a Rode NT1A for vocals. I have tried recording with added reverb and keeping getting not a natural reverb sound, but a rather "pixilated" one that does not sound natural. Does anyone have any ideas on how to solve this issue? I have tried using Silververb and Space Designer, and both result in the same problems. Thank you!

    This is asking for the impossible! It does not sound natural because maybe it isn't and in judging so whats your reference anyway. If you are in dire need of some natural sounding room you can go and record it yourself. But even then, the chances that it sounds like you imagined it, are very slim.
    There are very decent sounding reverberation plugins, based on artificial reverb generators or convolution-style, the last one is said to sound more 'natural' then the first one. Be it as it maybe, it really is like cooking food. You got all the ingredients for this delicious taste at hand and believe it or not to reach a satisfying result this is not enough, because if you do not mix the ingredients in the right proportion you will end up with a different dish you thought you'll get. This is exactly the same when one would mix audio, I dare say.
    So treat yourself to some good ingredients and the rest is up to you, namely: taste and experience!
    And looking at some of my past music productions I always find the same plugins for the 'ambient' task:
    Altiverb by Audio Ease when I have acoustic ensembles (classical music mostly), the Sony Oxford Reverb in studio productions, Bricasti when I have to deal with drums and MMultiBandReverb from MeldaProduction for all-round stuff. Thats the base I start from, after that I can end up with dozen Reverb plugins which basically all are doing the same thing but just in a tiny different way.

  • Powershell shortcut gives"this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action"

    Hi,
    We have a server where powershell gives an error. The shortcut or the context menu for start button (replaced cmd in context menu) gives an error saying "this file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action".
    In some events, like going to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\System Tools\Windows PowerShell.lnk and opening it results in bupkus. Nothing happens.
    Browsing to C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\ and running powershell.exe directly or opening cmd.exe and typing powershell <enter> runs powershell as it should.
