How do make sure the only audio files in my "Audio Files" folder are what are currently used in my project?

I noticed my hard drive space was getting suspiciously low...
After doing a little digging I realized that every single audio file (even the ones i have deleted segments for in my projects' arrange windows) are being saved in every one of my projects' "Audio Files" folders.
One 4 minute song (comprised of 3 guitars, 1 bass, Midi drums, and a syth) has a cooresponding "Audio Files" folder containing over 1,600 Wav files and is consuming 3.0 + Gigs of hard drive space FROM THAT SONG ALONE!
It seems as if every take i have ever recorded (even If it is no longer represented in my projects's arrange windows) remains saved in these "Audio Files" folders.
Is there a setting/method to ensure what STAYS on my hard drive is only what is being used in the projects? There seems to be no logical reason for keeping every mistake that is otherwise deleted in the overall projects.
there must be... because hand-weeding out every file it too daunting a task to be feasible.....
THANKS!

Hi
When you delete a recorded region from the Arrange, Logic gives you an option to 'delete' or 'keep' the underlying audio file. You must've chosen to keep, or you have only been deleting regions which only refer to part of the file, so the whole audio file is still being 'used'.
One method of cleaning up is to go to the Audio Bin, choose Edit:Select Unused, and then Delete.
If you (really) want to tidy up further, you could use the Optimise Files function Audio Bin:Audio Files (but I'd suggest that you read up on that function in the manual to fully understand what it will do).

What preset to use with HV30's 24F footage?

I shot a bunch of 24F video using a Canon HV30 and I was wondering what settings I should use when creating a new project for this footage?
Do I use a preset or should I make a custom setting?
thanks

>I'm asking if someone can recommend the optimum settings to make the best of the footage
Understood. I'm suggesting things like this be answered before you shoot. I suggest this for two reasons. One, though you would think it was obvious, you didn't do it. And two, if I recall correctly, there are issues with this format from the Canons and you may not be able to get it working right, and if you had known that in advance, you would not have shot in that format.
This may not help now, but it well could in the future.

Time Machine: Repeated errors when backing up for the first time using a new external firewire drive

My Iomega 500GB firewire external drive failed on me last week and I have just replaced it with an identical model. I used to use the old drive with Time Machine on my MacBook Pro running 10.5.8 with no issues, until the drive had a hardware failure and stopped spinning up, hence the replacement.
Two days ago I tried using Time Machine for the first time with the replacement external drive. The backup failed and each subsequent backup attempt has failed since then with a different error each time. The drive cannot be ejected using Finder (Finder says disk is in use and cannot be ejected even when no processes are running except for Finder and Time Machine has been disabled), by dragging it to the dock (hangs computer which can only be fixed by a hard reboot), in Disk Utilities (drive cannot be unmounted) or in Terminal ("no such file or directory").
The first backup attempt failed after 3 hours of "preparing" with the message "The backup was not performed because an error occured while creating backup directory".
I tried repairing the disk in Disk Utilities and Disk Utilities said the drive was OK ("the volume Time Machine Backups appears to be OK"). I tried ejecting the drive (hard reboot of computer and disconnecting the drive), plugging it back in again and trying again.
This time it started backing up, then failed after a few minutes with the message "an error occured while copying files to the backup volume". I had a look at the troubleshooting suggested on http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/C3.html and followed instructions. It failed again, so I did a full reset as per http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/A4.html.
It failed again, so I tried reparing the drive again in Disk Utilities and again it said it was OK. I tried using different cables and ports (Firewire 400 instead of Firewire 800), and backups still fail.
I have turned off anti-virus scanning (Sophos). I have tried excluding it from Spotlight but this causes an error message from Spotlight. I have tried trashing the com.apple.TimeMachine.plist file and rebooting. I have tried selecting deselecting the drive as the back up in Time Machine preferences, selecting "None", then "Stop Backing Up" then quitting preferences, rebooting, disconnecting the drive, reconnecting the drive and selecting the drive again as the backup disk in Time Machine preferences. I have tried erasing the drive completely, rebooting, and trying to back up again.
None of these have worked. This is a brand new drive and I do not want to have to replace it again if I do not have to.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you.

Hello, some possible clues...
Should you click “Start New Backup”? Not yet! If you see the dialog above, your existing Time Machine backup is corrupt, and you might not be able to recover data from it. But you can save a copy of the corrupt bundle and, perhaps, extract some data from it if needed.
Ask yourself if Time Machine has saved data you might need before deciding what to do next:
If you are sure you won’t need anything backed up before today, click “Start New Backup” and let Time Machine do its thing.
Otherwise, click “Back Up Later” and save a copy before letting Time Machine start a new backup. Just look for a file called “computername.sparsebundle” (for network backups) or “Backups.backupdb” (for local ones) and create a copy with a different name. You can open sparsebundle files with DiskImageMounter and browse them like any other disk. More information is available here.
There you go. If you click “Start New Backup” when you see this dialog box, Time Machine will erase all of your old backup data and start a new bundle. It won’t be corrupt, but it will be empty.
Note that you can manually initiate a Time Machine backup integrity check by option-clicking the “Time Machine” icon in the menu bar and selecting “Verify Backups.”
http://blog.fosketts.net/2010/08/11/time-machine-completed-verification-backups- improve-reliability-time-machine-create-backup/
According to This Time Machine resource “This appears only on Snow Leopard, and started with the Time Capsule Backup Update 1.0 in mid-May of 2010. It also seems to have been included in the 10.6.3 v1.1 update and 10.6.4.”
So, what can you do about it? Grin and bear it, it seems, until Apple fixes it.
One thing you can do to make the backup take less time is to connect your machine to your Time Capsule or other backup drive via Ethernet for the duration of the initial backup.

Export format for clips to be used in larger project.

Back in the PE2 days, I used to capture and trim a clip and "export movie" which resulted in a "DV-AVI" file. This is what I understood PE "liked" and the best format to use for import to a larger project (and it worked nicely every time). Now, in PE11, I don't see that option. This method is handy, not only for trimming stuff you don't want, but naming the clips to help with content id. What option should I use that preserves quality and cooperates with PE best?

What keyboard to use with new mac mini 1.83

Hi. I need to share a compatible keyboard with PC and Mac mini. I have a PC and will add a Mini to the desk. I would like to use the same keyboard and mouse (I use Kensington Expert Mouse Pro -mac and PC-).
The questions are:
1) What keyboard is mac/pc compatible?
2) What KVM/USB is mac/pc compatible (other than Flip)?
For the KVM:
I was thinking using a D-Link USB KVM switch (DKVM-2U), but I am not sure if it is mac compatible. Then there's the Belkin switch (Flip), but I was looking something less expensive.
Any comments, will be appreciated.
Wilfredo.

Hi
I use a cheap usb Belkin KVM between a PC and my mini and it works like a charm (hooked to white apple keyboard and no name usb wireless mouse); it's the simplest model from the Dektop Series, can't recall the exact reference though...
As for the keyboard it seems that your choice will depend from the way you use the two machines ; for instance I find the apple keyboard perfect for the mini (my main machine) and usable too on the pc side (mainly used for games)...Maybe for more specialized tasks you will prefer a - real - pc keyboard, that should work OK with the mini if your choice is not too exotic (multimedia keyboard with extended keys for example...) !

Is there a way to programmatically figure out what toolkits are used by my project and if they are installed on my PC?

I have a big Project and I would like to run a VI that would check the required toolkits for my application and also check if those toolkits are indeed installed on my PC.
Thanks for your help

When your Project is open, you can see some of the Dependencies, other VIs associated with the VIs listed in your Project. This can include VIs that are in the Physical folder containing the Project but not in a Project Virtual folder, VIs in libraries, including .llbs, vi.lib, and user.lib, .dll files (from NI and others) referenced by items in the Project, and possibly other things. These are items that it finds on your current machine, and that you would need if you moved your code to another computer.
When you load one of the VIs in your Project into memory, it will do a further search to locate all of the functions that it uses, raising an Error condition if one is not found (sometimes due to a missing Driver, for example). A trick that I like to use during Development is to create a "Tree" VI that contains a copy of every VI in my Project. If I open the Tree, and any VI makes a call on a "missing function", I will have a Broken Arrow, and can use the Error reporting to find the Missing Link.

SP 9 for VS 2013 - unable to create new project

I've just installed the Service Pack 9 to allow Crystal to work with VS 2013. I'm on Win 7, running the application as an administrator. Now when I go to create a new web project, no matter what options I seem to choose I get this error message:
Microsoft Visual Studio - The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070002) Project creation failed. A solution is created, but a project is not created and I'm not finding a way to work around this.
Prior to installing the Service Pack, I did not receive this error.
Thank you for any help you can provide!

Hi Tony
First time I see this issue reported.
I'd start with uninstalling CRVS and then doing a repair on VS 2013. See if you can create a projects now. Umm, rebooting may not hurt either. Then ensure that you are using the install executable, not one of the CR runtimes (MSI, MSM, CLickOnce).

For what is used the Serializable?

Hi! I'm wondering for what can I use the Serializable interface. Since it do not have methods or fields. Can you tell me for what it is used and provide a little example of it?
Thanks a lot!
Raul

Please tell me if the interface Serializable is having
no methods and variables. Then whats the use of this
kind of interfaces...
Marker Interface Pattern
The marker interface pattern is a design pattern in computer science.
This pattern allows a class to implement a marker interface, which exposes some underlying semantic property of the class that cannot be determined solely by the class' methods. Whereas a typical interface specifies functionality (in the form of method declarations) that an implementing class must support, a marker interface need not do so. The mere presence of such an interface indicates specific behavior on the part of the implementing class. Hybrid interfaces, which both act as markers and specify required methods, are possible but may prove confusing if improperly used.
One good example of a marker interface comes from the Java programming language. The Cloneable interface should be implemented by a class if it fully supports the Object.clone() method. Every class in Java has the Object class at the root of its inheritance hierarchy and so every object instantiated from any class has an associated clone() method. However, developers should only call clone() on objects of classes which implement the Clonable interface, as it indicates that the cloning functionality is actually supported in a proper manner.

Audition - What are we using it for?

As someone pointed out in a recent topic (http://www.adobeforums.com/webx?128@@.59b54e04) that "most" topics concern, AA 'bugs' and other hardware and/or OS related problems. Ozpeter rightly explains the obvious reasons for this.
Maybe I've got too much time on my hands but given my recent experience in developing a support utility for AA (http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b4f363) it has become obvious to me just how diverse the use and the way we all use AA.
I thought it might be interesting and perhaps even useful and educational for members of the forum (and maybe even Adobe) if users offer some insight into where, how, why and for what purpose they use Audition.
What do you think about the idea of this sort of feedback in one area (or at all)?

Well, to answer Runaway in greater detail, I use both AA and Pro Tools. What has driven me from using AA as my main DAW is not only the PTs wonderfully integrated MIDI support (it should be, after all Digis been doing it for a very long time) but what have also become for me serious limitations on AAs part.
Here are some my issues with AA:
The VST/DirectX amnesia bug is one whereby AA will not remember session effect settings. I generally prefer to use certain DirectX and VST plugins rather than the AA effects and it takes time to set these up with particular effects and custom parameters assigned to specific tracks. When I exit the session AA forgets the settings. In other words, when I revisit the session for a revision or whatever I have to re-enable each effect as AA reverts to a default setting upon exiting the session. I used to take this behavior as just something I had to live with until I began to use Acid Pro and Pro Tools. It was when I started using other DAWs that I realized AA was seriously broken in this regard.
Stability is another area where AA falls flat and its only gotten worse with AA 3.0. I found 2.0 to be more stable than 1.5 (which was a nightmare) and I have learned the hard way that with AA you save early and often, otherwise it WILL crash and kill your work from the last save point.
In all the time I have been using Pro Tools it hasnt crashed once. I value that quite a bit.
AAs MIDI integration is thoroughly wonked. Why it was even introduced in this condition is one of the great mysteries of the universe. To say - as I have read - that its still in a state of development is understating the situation to say the least.
And support? Digi releases patches to fix bugs found after release in regular order. So does every other DAW maker for that matter. We still dont know if Adobe is going to fix AA 3.0s bugs or release the fixes as AA 3.5 and charge us for them.
Ive been using this product since the days of Cool Edit 1x. It was the first DAW on which I learned to edit digital audio. But it wasnt until I began to use Pro Tools that I started to understand AAs limitations and faults.
And I didnt purchase Pro Tools so I could play with the big boys. It was because I wanted to learn something new and see how far I could push my talent and abilities. I also had the opportunity to pick up some engineering sessions at a local production house and they like many other professional studios here in Austin use Pro Tools. (My buddy Ray Benson of Bismeaux Studios uses Nuendo, but thats another story)
Once I began to use Pro Tools I began to see what I had been missing: a supremely refined user interface with astounding power and the feeling that I was driving a luxurious and slick program that was a delight to learn and use. Every time I use Pro Tools I find a new reason to love it, as its that deep and constantly opens new ways to appreciate it. The recently released version 7.4 is just mind blowing.
And as far as having to use proprietary hardware, thats a plus for me. Look at it this way: youre going to have to buy a sound card anyway. If youre a pro you wont be using a Creative Labs card, youll be using a something on a professional level. For a little less than twice what one would pay for AA 3.0 alone you can purchase an Mbox 2 Factory Pro with PT 7.4 and youre good to go. Program and sound card in one. Whats not to like?
Like I said at the start of this, I still use AA. It has certain features that are still useful to me, such as the Edit window and its audio restoration toolset. But I dont use it for mission critical projects. Its too buggy and too unreliable for that. And I wont automatically buy the next version as I have been doing since the Cool Edit days. I find myself considering other alternatives such as Sound Forge and Wavelab.
Im not saying AA is a bad productits just that what I need from a DAW has changed and in its current state AA doesnt fit the bill for the majority of my needs.

Best Preset to use.

I have a Samsung HMX-H100N that I shot a video with in 1280x720 60p. The camera records to an SC card, saves the video file in MPEG-4 format and uses a 37mm wide angle lens.
My problem seems to be no matter what preset I use when starting a project. I have huge black bars at the top and bottom of the screen and the image seems to be pressed down vertically and stretched horizontally.
What is the best preset to use, or is this version of Premiere compatable with this format?

Hi all you helpful guys here in the Adobe
Forums.
I wanted to report back on this and let you know that upgrading to PE 9 pretty much fixed all my preset issues. I even went back and re-rendered some of my older projects done in PE8 that I never could get to look just right (bars at top and bottom of screen, or images looking distorted)
PE9 has been GREAT for me. I love that it prompts you if you are importing in video that does not match or current preset, so you can choose to change the preset or ignore it.
So, thanks for the help.
I am about to post another question that I have nosed around the forums (and the net) looking for an answer to, but havn't had one jump out at me.
