Audio bin and delete

logic 8 - when I select audio in the audio bin and choose delete files - it seems to search ALL drives for many seconds before it deletes.... this should take 1 second - right? How do I fix this?

Sounds like your drives were asleep then - you can alter that in the *Energy Saver* prefpanel.
I don't think the delete function relies solely on the path stated in the bin - I guess it doublechecks the location using some OS X functionalities, that focus on the actual file, not it's path. After all, you can easily rename your disk (or any part of the path, for that matter) in the Finder while still working on a Logic project. It should still find all the right files...
If your disks are not asleep, it would be much faster I guess; they don't have to spin up, no data has to be written or read to RAM or caches, they're 'primed'. But I do guess - so disable sleep mode for your disks and see if that helps any.

Audio location and deleting

Quick question: If I import an audio file into my movie that's located on the desktop (or any location for that matter), can I delete it from desktop and it still be in the movie?
Basically, does iMovie, when you import an audio file, store or copy it into it's own location?
Thanks

PrPro requires that you have the correct channel-count on the existing Audio Track to match your source files. If you do not have such an Audio Track, PrPro will create one for you, if you drag that Clip to the lower portion of the Master Track.
Now, let's say that your Sequence has one 1-channel Audio Track in the default layout (mono), that will be your Audio Track 1, with the 2-channel (stereo) Tracks of the correct number below, and possibly 5.1 Audio Tracks, if you set the default Sequence settings.
On the Track Headers for Audio Tracks, there are little icons, one "speaker" = 1-channel (mono), two "speakers" = 2-channel (stereo) and "5.1" = 6-channel (5.1) Tracks. You can ONLY place an Auido file onto the matching channel-count.
Here is a look at the icons in the Audio Track Headers:
If you wish to move the Audio Tracks around, you can do so via Create Tracks, and locate them, as needed. There is currently no way to click-drag Audio, or Video Tracks, like in many DAW programs.
If you use, say a lot of 1-channel material, you might want to change your default Sequence Tracks setup.
Also note, you can change the name of any Audio, or Video Track, but with Audio, you cannot change the channel-count, once the Track has been creatad - only Delete it.
Good luck,
Hunt

Audio extracted and deleted but short noise remains randomly at edit point

the more I paste over at playhead and extract audio the audio bug occurs at edit point which then cant be deleted (titles or transitions not used)
Can anyone suggest how ot fix this
Cheers
Mike

Hi Sue,
Thanks for your reply.
I have zoomed in on the timeline and the audio files are always completely deleted.
I extract audio a lot when making a programme as I feature interviews with inserts pasted over at playhead. It seems the more I do this the more likleyhood of this audio bug occuring randomly. If you had any workaround ideas they would be much appreciated.
I dont use transitions or titles when this fault occurs

Mike

How to clear stock from storage bin and delete bins?

Hi All
For the development of prototype we have made some dummy warehouse structure and made stock movements with dummy bins. Now we wanted to go for real implementation. Before we made actual configurations, we wanted clear all dummy data. Can anyone suggest the standard process for clearing the stock, storage bins?
Thanks
Sasidhar Gupta

Hi Sasidhar.
is it non production system.
If yes you can move all this stock in some other storage type as dummy with dummy name.
and you can use all built as actuals.
or do PI and remove all stock from system as not actual stock .
and if its non production system then why are u worrying about all this. Let it be and start building your system as you require.
Regards

Audio Bin - Select unused - Delete - Hangs on 100% CPU for long time

Hi
I am running Logic Studio 9.0.2 on OS X 10.5.8 on a Mac Pro. Logic was upgraded from version 7.
In Audio Bin and "Select Unused" and then "Delete", the application might hang on 100% CPU for hours on large projects.
Anyone with an idea of what the problem might be? This was not a problem i Logic Pro 7.
Thanks!
GD

I have this same problem, though I'm on 10.5.7. I was hoping maybe updating the OS would help but apparently not. I also get very slow file-selection windows sometimes, like when I go to bounce a file. Navigating to a specific folder is painfully slow. Would like to hear if any Snow Leopard users are experiencing this.

I've created a movie but at the end there is an invisible audio clip that keeps playing. How can I select it and delete it?

Hello everyone,
This is Karie Garnier in British Columbia, Canada.
I'm new to FCPX.
I've created a 20 minute movie, but at the end of the movie, there is an invisible audio clip that keeps playing.
How can a video clip be playing and making sounds, when it doesn't appear in the timeline? and ...
How can I select this invisible audio clip and delete it?

I think you could be right, that it's an old render file that's got stuck.
By the time I finished this movie my 500 GB hard drive was 99.9% full and
FCP started acting wierd, so I suspect you are right.
I have since upgraded my hard drive to one 1000 GBs but when I play the movie the
glitch remains.
Can you please tell me:
a) How can I fix the old render file so that it is no longer stuck? ... and
b) How do I take a screen shot of the timeline?

Audio Bin movement

When I grab regions from the Audio bin and move them to the arrange window, the audio bin window "rearranges" itself so that the last file I selected is at the BOTTOM of the window, and I have to scroll up to grab the next file (assuming that I'm grabbing files from top of the page to bottom) Is there any way to make the audio bin hold still? is this a bug 8.1 fixes? the guys at MacProVIdeo couldn't figure it out either, and it seems an unnecessary function, or does it have a purpose? It's doubling my time on something that should be done in a flash. Any advice would help, thanks.

never mind, I was looking in the index of the plugin manual by mistake. I'll have to copy and paste track settings into it. Hard to figure the reasoning behind this change. Less flexibility is never a good thing in software.

Audio Files in Arrangement and Audio Bin

I am doing a remix and I have been giving all the files as audio. As one can imagine I have cut and chopped all the files up, reversed, etc. So now my audio bin is looking nuts. Is there a way I can quickly highlight all the files that are used in the arrangement page in the audio bin, so I can delete them?
Thanks

In the Bin, go to the drop down "Edit". It has two options: 'Select Used' and 'Select Unused'.
Once your selection is made, you can clear your bin by hitting Delete.

I cant download onto my computer an episode I purchased because when I hit download it says that the disk I am attempting to tranfer to is full.....however iy had no problem down loading another show....(Jon Stuart) So I went to my library where I see my shows stored and deleted MANY and when I tried again to download ---I got the same message to full......I tried to empty the recycle bin on my desktop thinking it was holding too much but the choice to empty is not darkened so it will not empty....can ANYONE help?

Therefore, t there any way to just completely delete all the old backup data out of my Time Capsule from my prior Mac Laptop?
Here is how to do this:
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Manual Setup
Click the Disks icon at the top of the AirPort Utility window
Click the Disks tab below the icons
Click Erase
The "Quick Erase" option will only take a moment or two
Now you can backup your MacBook Pro. If you connect an Ethernet cable from the MBP to one of the LAN <-> ports on the TC, the first backup will go 3-5 times faster than wireless.
Once you have the first backup done, you can use wireless for subsequent backups since they will only take a few minutes

A mysterious audio file opens when I open my browser. How do I find and delete it?

A mysterious audio file opens when I open my browser. How do I find and delete it?

The other possibility is that someone with access to your machine (children?, co-worker?) set up all of your browsers to have that audio file set up as a default "home page". This is probably more likely than malware. I just tried with Safari, and it's definitely possible. Check out your Safari preferences and see what it shows as your homepage.

Audio Levels and Bins

I recently got a copy of FCE and am still getting used to it. I was wondering if you could change the audio levels in certain points. I've been using premiere for a number of years and on that you can click on the level line which inserts a point at which you can either peak and troughs.
My project is basically an interview with the a band and at certain intervals im inserting live footage. i have a track playing in the background during the interview and would like it to suddenly get louder in the places where theres footage of the subject in action. How do i go about this?
Also i have another Project that im working on which involves my recent trip to california. Basically when capturing my clips i would like each tape to be saved into seperate folders and bins. So in the program i can quickly find my clips which would be in seperate bins DAY1-DAY2-DAY3 etc.
How do i go about doing this also?
Any Help would be much appreciated
thanks

Turn on the clip overlays in the Timeline (Opt-W). Hold the option key and click on the pink audio level line to add a keyframe. Add another keyframe, grab it and pull it down. Not unlike Premiere.
Make a new bin (Cmd-B) and name it. Right-click on it and select Make Capture Bin. Anything you capture will go into that bin. For the next day's material make another bin and set that as the capture bin. You could also just capture the material and move it into appropriate bins.

How can I edit imported audio track? After selecting and deleting region and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted part! What am I doing wrong?

After selecting and deleting region, and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted region!
What am I doing wrong?
How exactly are you doing this?
When I cut out a part of an audio region, then drag the remaining parts together, so they are touching, the track will skip the cut out section when playing the file. Also, if I select the remaining parts of the region and use the command "Edit > join regions". This will create a new audio file with the cut out part deleted.
You should see this prompt, when you are joining the regions:

I deleted some apps on accident, went to my recycle bin and saw they were in there so i restored them, but now i can't find them. Did i totally lose them?

I deleted some apps on accident. I went to my recycling bin and saw them in there. I tried to restore them thinking that they would just reappear on itunes, but they didn't. Is there a way i can get them back or did i completely lose them?

Which idiot at apple decided this was intuitive?
I too have lost months of work, because when Notes started to mysteriously appear in Mail, I deleted them (That makes sense doesn't it? - Its not MAIL) Why would any one then setup the best OS in the world to delete the actual notes (from within Mail) in the application you created them in???? with no warning and no backup. Months of work, instantly destroyed. This is why i pay the Apple prices!!
If Jobs was still around, heads would roll.

Did you do a secure empty trash? SHIFT COMMAND DELETE, they will be over wriiten. Are you deleting docs as they aren't much space, videos,pictures,music use much more space.
You can move those fiels to an external "archive" drive to save them then delete them from your internal drive.
