Audio effects - lets get Apple to add to next iChat

Here's something fun to try, funny audio effects during ichats
If you've played around with GarageBand you may have noticed if you add a vocal track there are settings for altering your voice, some to improve the quality, others to be funny (male to female, cartoon voice, etc. check the detailed settings under vocal transformer)
Using a program called soundflower you can route the audio out of GarageBand and into the input for iChat ( the settings can be a little confusing at times) but then you can ichat and have fun talking in funny voices
If you like it make sure you Feature request it to Apple, like I have already done, Audio effects would make a great addition just like video effects have.

Are you serious? I'm running 10.4.9 right now I can't hear anything on iTunes until the 2nd or 3rd volume setting. Yes, I have sound check and everything else off.
Don't even wanna imagine what it will be like again when I have to go to 10.4.10.

Lets get Apple to increase the audio levels again

Hi everyone! Well, I sold my 2.16 C2D on eBay and I just bought the new 2.2 model. I broke even selling the old and buying this one. So I think its a great deal. Anyway, I'm happy with the new machine. Speed and everything else is the same to me but the graphics are killer. Way better than the 128mb x1600. So far I've only tried it out on call of duty 2 but I'm more than satisfied.
So my reason for starting this thread is that we should all write to Apple's feedback section (which I can not find right now) and let them know that we would like the audio levels to increase again just like in 10.4.9.
The audio was low up to 10.4.8, in 10.4.9 the audio was much louder, and in 10.4.10 it went back to how it used to be. Now I know why Apple did this. It was because of all the 24" iMac users who complained about the audio being way too loud on the lowest volume setting. I know exactly how loud it was- my brother is one of those 24" iMac users. Reverting the audio level makes sense for iMac users but for everyone else its a downgrade. Especially since Apple sells a lot more notebooks than desktops.
A solution to this would be putting out a patch for just notebook users. Its really a major issue to me and I have not upgraded to 10.4.10 on this new machine because I'm in love with the fact of actually being able to hear the speakers on the MBP.

Yosemite - Safari still does not warn when closing multiple tabs, what will it take to get Apple to add this simple option?

I cannot understand why Apple does not add the option to warn you when closing multiple tabs. There are posts all over the Internet requesting the feature or looking for a way to do it. Why do they totally ignore this valuable, simple feature?

Thanks for the support. I guess you take one battle at at time because you hate to lose multiple battles and I picked this one. However, and this could go on quite a while, why do I have to buy another application to sort my bookmarks and have the sort sync the Cloud?. Bookmark sort - that is a programming 101 feature. Now I found that iPhoto can read AVCHD video files and Quicktime cannot. Oh my. I wish Apple would read the posts and actually take them into consideration. It would make their users feel more included. I do like Yosemite and love email markup. Good job but the customers have a few good ideas too.
At least you can Air Drop to Mac now!

When I download a movie from iTunes the cover art disappears. I try get info and add the art, it doesn't show up. So it's just gray. It opens and plays fine. Apple can't figure it out. It's an nas drive. When I use a firewire drive I get the art

When I download movies from iTunes to my NAS drive, I don't get the cover art. It shows up while its downloading, but when it's finish it disappears. If it has an iTunes extra the cover art is there. I tried get info and add the cover art, it never shows. Regardless of how I add it. Funny thing is, if I download the same movie to my external firewire drive, no problem its there. I've called Apple with no success. I've even tried copying the movie with the art from the firewire drive to replace the file on then NAS drive I still loose the movie cover art. I also tried several times to re download it, no luck. Any ideas? I'm out of ideas.

Do you have any videos/movies in the video app?
In iTunes if you right click on the video and select Get Info and go to the Option tap what Media Type is shown?

HT203167 My old computer crashed and the hard drive is destroyed. I have 6 years of iTunes music that I want to get again. How do I get Apple to let me download it all again?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer for just such an occasion.
Did you fails to do this?
If so, not good, you can redownload some itunes purcahses in some countries:

Who needs apple to make the bezels for the macbook pro? Lets get together and tell apple they must! It is a design flaw.

I love my pro. I paid 2700. for it 4 years ago. I did that because I know they are meant to last. I could have purchased a regular laptop but they don't last. Until recently I was ecstatic with it. Then one day I opened it up and my screen seemed really floppy. I didn't pay much attention. Then I noticed there were two cracks on the bezel toward the bottom of the screen. It is where the stress point lies from opening and closing. A very important location. I have read up on this, it is definitely a design flaw. I know the bezels are only work 10-15 dollars if produced. But because of the lack of availability of them they sell for 80 and up. I went to an Apple store with my friend. She purchased an IPAD 3 months ago, it fell out of her car, and the screen broke. Strangely enough, they replaced her IPAD when clearly it was customer fault, although she maintained it was a weak point. Me? The genius looked at mine and said I would need a new screen and it would be 700. Then another solution for 300. I asked why they couldn't just order a bezel. He said they don't make them. Apple does not make computer parts for their own computer? Unfortunately they gave me the rude runaround (Sherman Oaks,Ca manager Gabe Nava) and treated me like I was being unreasonable when I pointed out it was a design flaw with Apple!. Now i have a computer that could last a good 2-3 more years, but with this flaw the life will be shortened. Apple is this how u treat the customers that purchase you most expensive product versus the one that purchases the low/med price product? Let me know pro owners.....lets demand apple make these bezels. They should be replaced for free, but if it were available for 15. and then 50 labor...that I can live with. The best I could get outta Gabe was 150.00 and they keep my computer for a week! I live 120 miles away from the nearest store. I know your out there folks....lets make Apple make this right.

There are online Mac reaper shops that will fix your bezel, it's nothing really.

Add audio effect preset to ENTIRE track...

Is it possible to create a customized audio effect preset and apply it to an ENTIRE audio track? NOT just a clip.
I'd like to modify, let's say, a reverb, save it as a PRESET, and then apply it to an entire TRACK. Not just a clip. I can't find info on this in the user guide or the live docs.

Thanks Howard. I actually already do do that but what I wanted to do was use the rack that you speak of, make modifications to one of the effects that I choose, and then save THAT as a customized preset and use it else where later, even on another project.

How do I make a 'favorite' folder for audio effects ?

In the effects browser, the list of effects is very long, and the classification is not at all user-friendly. How could I group the effects I use often in a folder ?

If you stay with JUST the Logic effects, MOST (if not all) have a Preset drop down menu (I haven't used them all, so I can't say for 100% sure). At the very bottom of the drop down menu is an option to Save Preset. This is a feature I wish was on ALL effects in FCPX... it's been suggested to Apple a couple of times by me... apparently it's not a reasonable enough request... but that's how it is.
Anyway...
When you go into Audio effects, for each type of effect (distortion, echo, eq, etc...) when you highlight the type, in the right column the effects for that category appear. There are THREE sections (usually... unless you have other 3rd party Logic effects or AU plugins and you'll have others like Native Instruments or Blue Cat Audio, etc., and that will also depend on the categories the 3rd party effects fall in): the top section is usually "Final Cut". If you scan down the list there is a gray line and a label for the next section of effects, usually "Logic". And scanning further down the list you get to "Mac OS X". The Final Cut and Mac OS X effects are the typical kind of cr*p you find in Garageband: hard to understand and harder to use if you wander far from the presets - that and no graphical interfaces. The Logic effects on the other hand chew bubble gum and kick *** -- and they're fresh out of bubble gum. All of them sport a graphical interface (if you click on the little "eq icon"). Once you set your parameters to your liking, you can save your preset. It will show up in the Preset drop down menu any time you add that effect to any clip in the future.
We seriously NEED this feature for ALL effects Apple!!!!!!! All you readers, please send in a request/feedback.

Whenever I click on iTunes store, it just takes me to this huge add to download the new version of iTunes. I have tried clicking the download box and downloading it, but it still will not let me past the add so I can buy music. What gives

Whenever I click on iTunes store, it just takes me to this huge add to download the new version of iTunes. I have tried clicking the download box and downloading it, but it still will not let me past the add so I can buy music. What gives

this is a follow up from the profane post earlier....
i have done this twice in two other posts..
here is my problem.. i started off trying to update itunes, it failed twice and said i needed to install manually via tools.
the only place to get to tools is the pop up box that appears when you click check for updates.. if there is an available update then the pop up shows up with the quick time and itunes files to download. so i finally figured that out. i clicked on tools and manual update, four files were saved to a file. Apple mobile device support, another one similar, itunes, and another one i cant remember. I only downloaded the itunes file seeing as though thats all i needed to accomplish in the first place.
so then i restarted my computer bc you need to reboot and then reopen itunes for update to take effect. once i have itunes back open i plugged in my new 5s which i am trying to sync to my computer to get all my stuff back bc i lost my previous phone over the weekend.. once i plugged the phone in an error stating i needed to unistall the apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall. well i dont know where those files were originally stored on my computer AND since my itunes was updated, just not the other 3 associated files, when i click check for updates it says its up to date and then pop up containing the quick time and itunes does not pop up thus i cant get back to the tools tab to manually save the 4 files again.
so i was just going to uninstall itunes all together and then i thought well what happens if it erases all my photos apps songs etc... which would defeat the whole purpose in the first place of me trying to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back.
so i literally have no idea what to do at this point.. if you have read this you are probably just as confused as me...

Any way to remove "reverb" in recorded audio using audio effects?

I taped an interview using a lapel mic. On playback on camcorder as well as playing it in PE7, it sounds okay. When I take the file and played it in our church over our sound system (which is state of the art) The audio of the people speaking sounds as if they're in a barrel. I have a soundtrack playing in the background and it sounds great, it's just the audio of the speaker that sounds so awful. Our sound tech says it sounds that way because of the small area I recorded in and the echoing is in the original footage, and that it's magnified when played over a good sound system. Is there a way to fix this or at least minimize the echoing "reverb" sound using the audio effects? Thanks!

One of the suggestions via Ozpeter's links was to model the impulse response from speaker to microphone in the reverberant environment. This is roughly what Gloftis would have to do:
Put the speaker back in exactly the same position in the original room with the same lapel mic in exactly the same position. Add a small high quality microphone close to the lips of the speaker. It would have to be so close that the reverberation was negligible and positioned so that breath pops didn't occur. Then get the speaker to say or read a few minutes of speech, and record the output of both microphones simultaneously. From this, the room acoustic and lapel microphone response as a whole could be computed (a black box filter response). The inverse response then needs to be computed, and you hope that such a filter is stable (not guaranteed). Then pass the reverberant speech through this inverse filter and voilà!
Another solution suggested was expanding the low levels downwards. That is essentially what I suggested in my first post. Expansion should be less obtrusive than gating (hard on/off).
Finally, the most straight forward method, if practicable, is to re-record the voice material in a non-reverberant environment. He/she could listen to the original speech and read out the material in synchronism, with the same mannerisms, to preserve lip-synch.

Do we have presets for audio effects?

Hello to all! I would like to know whether we have the option of saving effects which we add to voiceovers as 'presets' so that when we do fresh voiceovers we need to only 'paste' these presets.
At present I am doing this to manage the situation: I have created a tiny 'template project' in which I have included a voiceover that has the necessary audio effects. There is a slight 'inconvenience' associated with this method and would like to know whether one can have a better way to get our job done with a single click!
Wish all of you a great day!
Dr. Somanna

Hello Fox, Greetings!
I had previously indeed made a compound clip of the 'edited voiceover clip', but I was not aware that this compound clip in the event browser would not be having the 'copy/paste attributes. In my earlier post I had mentioned this:
I found that the source clip in the event browser does not add the audio effects which are introduced in the timeline audio clip...
Your mentioning of double clicking the compound clip to have it on the timeline and then copy/pasting the audio effects has been a 'revelation' to me. It is working. Moreover, I have placed this compound clip in an 'template event' that I already have and hence I would find it an easy thing to add effects to future voiceovers. Fortunately my need for adding audio effects are very simple and I guess that it will remain so in future too! I would not be needing multiple and complex 'audio-effects presets!
Thanks.
Regards and have a great day.

Audio/effects/transitions/titles from older versions of iMovie

I've discovered that iMovie 3 removed some content that was present in iMovie 2; specifically, the Water Ripple effect, and all the old stock audio clips. Granted, the new audio Skywalker Sound audio clips in iMovie 3 were better, but it'd still be nice to have access to the old ones too. So I have two questions:
Does anyone know if anything else was removed going from iMovie 3->4, 4->5, or 5->6?
Is there a way to get those old audio/effects back into later versions of iMovie? (Maybe a way to upgrade that preserves the older content, sort of like how you can upgrade iDVD 3 to iDVD 4 in order to keep the older iDVD 1 & 2 themes.)
Also another question: once upon a time, available for free download from Apple's website were a bunch of additional iMovie audio clips, background sets, etc. Alas, Apple has proven just as averse to preserving its past as nearly any other corporation: those files have long since been removed. Is there an archive of these anywhere?

Well after a bit of research I discovered that the old effect files can be integrated into later versions of iMovie. Basically what you have to do is right-click iMovie 2 and choose Show Package Contents. For the Water Ripple effect, navigate to Contents->Plug-ins, and copy the file Ripple.bundle, and create a copy of it to ~/Library/iMovie/Plug-ins. For the old stock audio sound effects, go back to the iMovie 2 package contents, navigate to Contents->Resources->Sound Effects, and copy all the files enclosed to ~/Library/iMovie/Sound Effects.
Of course you could always copy these files to the package contents of the later iMovie.app, but this way is a bit less of a "hack". (Oddly though when I tried just that, Ripple.bundle would only work when placed in iMovie->Contents->Plugins, not to be confused with the separate Plug-ins folder that it was stored in within iMovie 2.)
Anyway, hope this info helps somebody out there!

Echo audio effect on video clips

I'm trying to add an echo effect on the audio that lasts longer that the video clip. For example, If a person says "moment in time" at the clip ends, how can I extend the last word like "time" to echo past the video clip? I understand how to add effects to audio but once the video clip in finished, so is the audio. I'd like to extend the echo past the video clip.
I hope I'm explaining this properly. Is this a Soundtrack Pro question?

Here is one way to do it:
Edit a couple of seconds of Slug after the end of the video/audio clip that you want to add echo to. You can trim this off later, after you get your effect set.
Next, select both the clip you want to add echo to and the Slug you added right after it so that both are highlighted (selected). Now type Option + C to Nest the two clips into a single unit.
Now you can apply your effect to the Nest you made and have space to have the audio echo. If you need to make adjustments to contents of the nest, just double click on it.
