Anyway to turn all tracks into audio all at once without bouncing

I have old sessions using midi samples from old hard drive. I would like to make all tracks audio before retiring the Hard drive

You could use the Export function "all tracks to Audio data" (to be found at the bottom of Save menue). This will transform your Midi Instruments into Audio (it ignores the Automation though).

How to export all tracks into audio files with the same duration

Hi everybody.
I am trying to export all the tracks into different audio files.
It's 10 soft. instruments and an audio track. I tried with "File>Export>All Tracks as Audio File but the result is 11 audio files with different lengths. As the song is 3 minutes and 20 seconds I would like every single track to be 3.22 sec long.
How do I do it? In fact, each track is composed not only by played instruments but also by moments of silence.
Thanks!!

The files are different lengths because each instrument does not stop playing at the same moment. It would accomplish nothing other than waste disk space if Logic appended silence to the end of each file in order to make each track the same length. The different lengths you see mean nothing because the absence of appended silence means nothing.
each track is composed not only by played instruments but also by moments of silence.
Naturally. And that silence is accounted for in your exported files, when the silence appears at the beginning of the track, and when it appears during the track. It just isn't appended at the end because that would be pointless. Consider this project, consisting of four tracks:
When I use the command File > Export > All Tracks as Audio Files, Logic will produce four files that look like this:
The files are not equal in length, which is perfectly fine. What's important is that they all start at bar 1, and will align properly when imported into some other program. So all you need is the command you already used: File > Export > All Tracks as Audio Files. In one step, it will produce all the files you need, and it will produce them correctly.
By using Bounce, you would be gaining nothing except extra work, because you would have to do it separately for each file you wanted to produce. With Export > All Tracks as Audio Files, you get all your files with just one command.

exporting tracks means that any panning or automation will not be rendered. So if you want the engineer to put up all of your tracks at unity gain (all faders at zero) and have your tracks & stems reproduce the mix you're hearing at your studio, use bounce, not export.
If you want to have your tracks & stems reproduce the mix you're hearing at your studio, there's no need to go to the extra effort of using Bounce instead of Export. You only need to enable (in the Export dialog) the checkbox "Include Volume/Pan Automation." This is explained on p. 1022. When you do this, any panning or automation will indeed be rendered.

Convert MIDI tracks into Audio tracks

I started to convert the MIDI tracks in my project to Audio tracks. Unfortunately the input audio signal is very weak. Is this normal for a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro ? Anyway, working with that weak signal I raised the signal level using the Play Control of my Sound card. As a result I got an awful noise in the monitors. I canceled the action but the noise didn't stop. Now as a result I have a permanent noise coming from my Sound Blaster Play control. I found that the CD Digital output of the Play Control produced that noise. I muted that output and the noise disappeared. But I can't use the CD Digital output of my Sound Blaster. Is that a software or a hardware problem?
Any suggestion and help is welcome.
Tzarvulko

No, weak MIDI conversion to audio isn't normal. Can you give more detail as to how you are going about said conversion?
You probably don't have anything attached to the CD Digital input, unconnected inputs can pick up noise, and in fooling around with the play control you likely enabled that input (or just turned up the volume of your analog inputs). Muting unconnected inputs is a good thing to do; to some extent so is muting inputs you're not using at the moment.

How to turn multiple tracks into one element for changing scale

I've created an image out of a number of video tracks in my motion timeline. When I try to change the scale of all the parts, they change but remain the same distance apart so the pieces break apart in my viewer. I've tried making a clone and this solved this aspect of the problem but now my write on behavior that draws the image on does not occur. Is there a way to get around these two issues and create a scalable image that can perform write on behaviors? Thanks in advance and happy new year!
This is Motion 4

Ah, nevermind! I think I may have solved the issue myself. It seems if you click on the Group tab to the left of the main timeline as opposed to the clip within the timeline, it allows you to change the group and scale it while also keeping different elements together. Could be helpful for anyone with a similar question.

Why do video fx turn my clip into audio only?

I only need to add lightning to one of my clips, but when i apply the setting, the clip goes black and only he audio comes up. The clip still shows up on the timeline viewer

never mind i had to reset imovie

My touch will not stay on even if its pluged in and this started all at once without any warning what can i do? I rebooted it to factory settings then reloaded everything back on it from itunes but it still is not working right at all. cam anyone help me

MY touch will not come on all of a sudden, but when i plug it in it has to boot up and will shut itself down. i have rebooted it to factroy settings and reloaded back up from itunes but still will not work. does anyone have an ideal what would have cauced it to start and how i can fix it?

If you restored to factory defaults/new iPod and are still haveing the problem than an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Inserting several pictures into MS Word at once without using Media Browser

In Microsoft Word 2011, we can either "insert picture from file" or "insert from photo (media) browser". For users who do not have pictures stored in iPhoto or Photobooth, we are forced to use "insert picture from file" method,
which only allows for one picture to be added at a time. How can I add more than one picture at a time?

It is not clear what alternative you are wanting besides those two options, but you might add a smart folder somewhere that filters by kind "image" which would let you insert image from file that is sort of like a photo browser.
Alternatively there is a very old tip (like 2008) in
this Mac OSX Hints thread that says you should be able to add folders to the media browser by dragging them from the finder into the media browser window. I have no idea if this still works.

Midi(software synths) into Audio?

I heard that in Logic,you lay down midi(software synth's) and then covert that into audio,is this true and if so how can it be done? Can this be done in Logic Express and Logic Pro?

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but if you mean CAN you convert MIDI tracks into audio, yes, you can. You just solo the MIDI track, do a bounce, and add the resulting audio track back into the song.
If you mean do you HAVE to convert MIDI tracks to audio, no, you don't have to. When you bounce the whole mix to stereo, all MIDI tracks are also recorded to audio. That way you can continue to edit them until the final mix.

Export all tracks as audio files in LPX has suddenly ceased to function correctly

I have been working on a project for the past three months, which requires me to work from home ,then export all my tracks as audio files and take them into another studio. This is because my collaborator's DAW of choice is now Nuendo. So far, this has proved to be a very successful approach to our workflow, until today. As an example , I have a cue with 96 tracks. When I came to use export all tracks as audio files, the usual window came up, defaulting the destination to the bounces folder in the Logic song. However, this time, instead of the expected and correct number of tracks to be saved ( 96 ) , the total was 25 !
I tried this with a few other recent Logic songs and the same thing happened. None of us can figure it out. I had to manually, and individually, bounce each track separately, which was very time-consuming. A clue, though….. I tried exporting the tracks one at a time. So, the first one was, say, piccolo rips. It did that fine . The second track was Alto flute runs, but when I came to export, Logic seemed to think it was still the piccolo rips! This implies that the reason why I'm experiencing reduced export files is because Logic is thinking that many of the tracks are actually duplicates, so it's stopping them from being exported. That's the only explanation I have. However, I don't have the answer to the reason for this. I'm running the latest version of Logic.
Has anyone clue as to why this has suddenly started to happen and how it can be fixed please? I'm thinking I might just trash the Logic app and reinstall.
Many thanks for any help.

First of all you are welcome...
I have to say... I suspect something has changed even if you are not directly aware of it.... between the time it did work and now that it doesn't for you... Be it for example... an update to a plugin you are using.. or even a new/different plugin you are using now that you didn't use before...
I checked with one of my clients a few minutes ago, who does regular, several times a week, large project stem exports to see if he has ever had or heard of such an issue ( in case it one of those odd bugs that only rears its head every now and again..) and the answer was no, not at all...
So all I can recommend is to create some testbed projects.. using different combinations of Plugins, creation of tracks methods.. templates etc.. until you uncover the root cause of the issue... because i suspect it may well be something unique to your system, config or work method that is causing this problem..
You might also want to check with the guys at
http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/index.php
..and see if David, Jordi, Eric or one of the other regulars there, have ever come across such a problem.. I did a quick cursory search there and found nothing at all but it was a very quick look/see type of search...
Maybe CCT, Pancenter... or Edgar here.. might have an idea or two, too...
Finally, Can you also state your current OS X / Logic version please...
Cheers..
Nigel

Is there way to "export all tracks as audio" without such extreme volume?

Exporting some songs for a client, and when i use the "export all tracks as audio" function-- the tracks created are much louder than the levels i have them at in the song. I'm paying mind to the 'normalize' function, as well as the automation option.
But it seems to not matter if i turn the master volume down, or if I turn the output down- the tracks are much, much louder than they are in the song.
Anybody know of a way around this short of bouncing each individual track one by one? We don't have time for that.

AIFF and WAV are sonically identical, doesn't realy matter which you choose. AIFF is to Mac what WAV is to windows.
It does not have any bearing on levels, that is up to the *Track Automation.* If you have no Track Automation the files will be exported as if the fader is at 0 dB. ONLY when you automate the fader and put the track in *Read mode* will there be a difference, and only if you check the *include Pan/Volume automation* option.

Why does Logic Pro 9 add 0.3s silence at start of all my tracks when I "export all tracks as audio files"?

OK - when I "export all tracks as audio files" it works fine - I get a load of exported tracks (annoyingly with the stupid "_bip" prefix at the end).
But I find that they all have about 0.3s silence inserted at the start. WHY??!!!
I checked, and on the timeline all the tracks start with their first note at the beginning of the track so there is no silence in the arrangement. But still this silence on export.
This Logic feature is so badly designed - why can't it do the simplest things as expected.

Thank you I will look into plug-in latency compensation. However, there is no latency or need for latency compensation when outputting offline files in this way. Latency compensation is for live playback where real-time processing matters. So this is flawed software design, hence my comments about it being illogical.
"there is no latency or need for latency compensation when outputting offline files.....etc"
You don't fully understand how Logic's audio engine and buffering scheme works... not that anyone fully does except the programmers. Basically your above statement is incorrect, as some plugins have built-in-latency and others don't, but that's not the complete picture. The problem is a combination of a plugin's built-in-latency and how Logic buffers data. Logic deactivates the audio engine when stopped, all plugins and software instruments become deactivated including the ability to load or purge data buffers with the exception of a software instrument or audio track that is selected for "live" input.
(Look up Plug-in-Latency Compensation in the manual for a full explation of the choices available)
I won't disagree with you about the software design, however, rather than flawed I tend to think of it as antiquated. The positive side of this is extremely low processor use and the ability to design templates with all plugins and software instruments loaded and ready to start a new project. The downside most Logic users are familiar with... unexpected overloads in the middle of a project when a approaching a region that makes use of processor intensive plugins, Loops that don't match up perfectly when starting a project from bar 1 and/or missing notes at the beginning of MIDI loop if starting at bar 1.... plus a half dozen other anomalies related to Logic's "efficient" audio engine. The efficiency concept made sense back when computers didn't have enough power to handle active or semi-active plugins, seems it causes more problems than not these days.

HT201317 When I view photos on my devices some are not oriented correctly. I used Picassa to turn all photos upright and then copied those photos into the upload file but they are still not corrected when viewed on my devices (ipads)

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

When i import a compilation cd how do i get all the tracks into one album in the music library. They are currently listed as individual tracks or albums.

When I import a compilation CD the tracks list as individual albums. How can I get them consolidated into one album?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For a compilation use Various Artists and also set Part of a compilation to Yes on the Options tab of Get Info.
For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
