Audio file getting chopped

I imported an mp3 into my Flash document and the very first
portion of it doesn't play. It seems to start 1.5 beats into the
music. It does this when I test the file in Flash and of course
when I export the file to SWF as well. The mp3 file plays fine in
QuickTime and iTunes. Sync is set to 'start' and 'loop'. Any
suggestions? thanks, julie

To respond to my own question...
I simply used a different file format. (WAV) Could find no
reason why this MP3 is doing this. No answers to this, but at least
I got my Flash to work properly.

Linking to an audio file, getting it to play when clicked

Hi
I have uploaded a small .asx audio file onto my server.
I would like to link to it so that it plays on win media player or similar when clicked.
However I have linked to it in the same way you would any other page or file, but it asks you to open it rather than it playing.
Can I do it so that the audio just plays when clicked??

The link in question is in the lower right div.
Many thanks
Mark

The way that a file is used on the client computer is determined by how you define its filetype on your server and how the individual browser is configured to handle it. You basically have little control here, especially with an ASX file. A more accessible way to play audio in a browser is through Flash/SWF. You can google for 'flowplayer' to find a free option that does not require you to own Flash.

Audio files getting clipped in Compressor

Hi just curious if anyone else has had or seen this happen. When I go to compress my video files in Compressor the audio files cut off half way thru. When I put the files in DVD studio the audio files are significantly shorter than the video files.
My original Compressor setting was MP4 60min high quality. But after trying other settings it did the same thing. Please help. thanks.

Use the "Add to Movie" function in QuickTime Player.

How to add audio files.

I'm using Premiere Elements 11 on my iMac. I can't for the life of me figure out how to add music files to the 8 or so that come with the program. Anybody else having this problem or am I just dumber than most?

As I put in my original post I might be dumber than most and that's still a possibility. I also tried the "Use Smartsound" same feeling that I didn't like the add on that just took me to another site to sell me music. I couldn't find the "Project Assets" box after looking almost everywhere. But..... I was in the "Quick" mode. Knowing I was a rank beginner I avoided the "Expert" tab. But after looking everywhere else I opened that tab and "It's A Miracle" there it was. Still stumbling through the learning process so thanks for your kind help. If I hit the wall again I'll make another post looking for help. Thanks Again.
I tried the Quick mode. When I did 'add media' in the upper left corner, video files went straigt to the project box. Then I tried an audio file and it went below the video in the project box. So, I see where in 'Quick' the 'Project Assets' box and step are skipped. Sorry about misleading you.
Either way, audio files get to the project box when you pick them up as a file on your computer.
There are two great sources to speed the learning process. lynda.com has courses that are like a personal demo of everything PrE does with a great coach explaining it. http://www.lynda.com/Premiere-Elements-tutorials/Up-Running-Premiere-Elements-11/109763-2. html A few if the chapters are free as a trial. The fee is $25 for a month of access. One month is more than enough if all you want is the one course.
If you prefere owning a course on a disk, video2brain is an alternative, but I don't think it is as thorough.

I just moved my itunes library from a win 7 computer to a win 8.1 computer. Getting an error message "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. Can't play CDs or get audio file from web!

Help! I just moved my itunes library from a Win 7 computer to a new Win 8.1 computer following the instructions on the itunes website. Everything is good except I'm getting an error message on the Win 8 computer if I try to play a CD or get an audio file off of the internet. I get an error message that says "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. I don't know where to look for or fix the audio configuration on the win 8 computer. As far as I can tell the iTunes configuration looks the same as on the other computers in the house. At this point I don't dare plug my ipod touch into the Win 8 computer for fear it will get messed up.

I have the same problem and I know that it is due to my PCI Audio driver not being compatible with WIndows 8.1.
iTunes isn't the only program that can't direct sound to the built-in speakers anymore. The obvious solution would be to update the drivers, but unfortunately Dell does not provide an updated driver for my model, so I am stuck with that.
However, saying that, only my laptop speakers are affected by this. I can use sound fine on applications where I can choose the output device and direct sound to the head phones, but for some reason iTunes does not let you choose the audio device manually.
To listen to music I imported the iTunes Library in Windows Media Player and changed the audio output using the following instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/c00d11ba
However, I would also like to rent movie's from iTunes,
Would be great if iTunes would let you choose the output device, too, like most other applications using sound from Skype to Windows Media Player,...

In logic Pro, when I open up an audio track or software track and load an audio file/loop or software file loop, there is no sound. I will finally get a sound out of one of the audio or software tracks after opening at least 5 of them alternately. Is anyone familiar with this kind of bug? It's really frustrating as this takes much time to complete work.

I'm not sure I follow your words Fuzzynormal. You've helped by offering the insight that my issue in Logic Pro 9 is not a bug but a feature. But fell short of enlightenment by being a judge of character and of how one should interact in this forum. You insinuate that I haven't tried to solve the issue on my own when in fact I have. These forums are always my last resort. You further suggest that I am complaining. This is not a complaint. It is a genuine issue that I cannot figure out. Then you think that Brazeca is holding my hand and being a nice guy. Brazeca is helping people like me who might not be as adept at using Logic Pro as probably you are.This community forum was established to raise questions, answers and dicussion to help Apple's customers better undertand their operating systems and related issues. You are doing a disservice by not contributing positively and by trying to make this forum what you want it to be. You may have all the time in the world to try figuring out stuff but we are not all like you. We all have different schedules and different levels of understanding. And that is what this forum is for - to help people move forward. If you can't contribute positively then keep silent. And by the way, you say to "read the words that are printed down to explain to you how that works" what words are you talking about? Why don't you be of some help instead of trying to own this forum.

I'm running logic pro 8.0.2 on Leopard 10.5.8. I've recorded an evening of live music, the cut the recording into songs using one audio file folder. When working on an individual song, I can't access the sampler. I get the message "nothing to display"

I'm running logic pro 8.0.2 on Leopard 10.5.8. I've recorded an evening of live music, then cut the recording into songs using one audio file folder ad multiple song files. When working on an individual song, I can't access the sampler. I get the message "nothing to display" or "no region or audio file selected" After much research on the web, I believe this is a permanent bug. Does anyone have a good work-around for this type of work. We record live 16T band rehearsals constantly and would love to be able to break individual songs out of the large file and be able to use the sampler. Thanks in advance for your ideas! Cheers.

Another thing - if I copy one of the tracks to another track, then the sample editor works on the copied track. I don't want to have to copy 16 tracks to new tracks to be able to use the sample editor on a project. Thanks again.

How to get the length of a audio file without play it ?

Now I know a method to get the length of a audio file by play it:
1 Create a Player, and add a ControllerListener
2.Start the Player
3.In the ControllerListener's controllerUpdate method, use getMediaTime() by receiving a EndOfMediaEvent
However I think this method is not convenience, if I don't want to play it how I can get the length of the audio file?
Is anyone can help me?Really thanks a lot !

I got the answer here:

I tried getDuration() before, but it always return a same time, I think maybe I didn't realize the player.

How do I get a 3ga audio file to play on iphone 4s?

How do I get a 3ga audio file to play on iphone
4s?

You don't need to download an App.
My understanding is that you simply have to change the file extension from .3ga to.mp3 (on each file) and then they should play.
That said, it works on a Macbook Pro - I've just tried it.
Not sure about iOS though.
Please reply if it works for you.

How do I get iTunes U to play all files, right now it stops after each audio file and I will have to manually select the next one.

I am unable to find a way to get iTunes U to play all audio files one after the other without me manually playing each one of them.

Best I've managed is to create a smart playlist in iTunes with the album set to the title of the course. Have the smart playlist update automatically so that any new postings from the course are included within the playlist. After that you should be able to play the playlist and have all the audio files play one after the other. Hope it helps!

I have Prem. Elements 12. I am trying to add audio media. I know where the audio files are located (using GET INFO while in iTunes), and when I try to add certain audio files, some are accepted and some are not. In one case, when I opened a particular folder, the song was not listed, even tho' the song is there when using Windows Explorer. This happens with mp3 and mp4 and just wav files. Some audio are accepted, most are not. I get that codec is not installed error message, too.

Getting audio file properties (length and size)

Hi,
when I load a screen I have two labels. One should display me the audio file length (in seconds) and the other the size (in MB).
But I cant get it to work. The labels just show me '(null)' all the time.
What am I missing here?
@interface AudioViewController : UIViewController {
NSString *size;
NSString *length;
IBOutlet UILabel *audioSize;
IBOutlet UILabel *audioLength;
-(UInt32)audioFileSize: (AudioFileID)fileDescriptor
//Get file size
UInt64 outDataSize = 0;
UInt32 thePropSize = sizeof(UInt64);
OSStatus result = AudioFileGetProperty(fileDescriptor, kAudioFilePropertyAudioDataByteCount, &thePropSize, &outDataSize);
if(result != 0) NSLog(@"cannot find file size");
NSLog(@"file size: %@", result);
return (UInt32)outDataSize;
//Get file length
NSTimeInterval seconds;
UInt32 propertySize = sizeof(seconds);
OSStatus err = AudioFileGetProperty(fileDescriptor, kAudioFilePropertyEstimatedDuration, &propertySize, &seconds);
if(err != 0) NSLog(@"cannot find file length");
NSLog(@"file length: %f", seconds);
size = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%i", outDataSize];
length = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%f", seconds];
- (void)viewWillAppear: (BOOL)animated {
audioSize.text = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@", size];
audioLength.text = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@", length];
Thanks for your help!

you should not attach sounds to timelines if you want precise control of your sounds, and use actionscript.
that said, your sound will play if you assign its sync property to event, instead of stream.

How get one channel of data from two-channel audio file?

I need to either convert a 2-channel audio file to 1-channel or else get just one channel of data (does this lose some sound?) for a calculation. How would I do that?

In terms of a loop over byte[] data, double[] left, double[] right...
8-bit mono
for (int i = 0; i < data.length; i += 1) {
left[i] = (double)data;
16-bit monofor (int i = 0; (i*2) < data.length; i++) {
left[i] = ((double)data[2*i] << 8) + (double)data[(2*i)+1]);
8-bit stereofor (int i = 0; (i*2) < data.length; i++) {
left[i] = (double)data[2*i];
right[i] = (double)data[(2*i)+1];
16-bit stereofor (int i = 0; (i*4) < data.length; i++) {
left[i] = ((double)data[2*i] << 8) + (double)data[(2*i)+1]);
right[i] = ((double)data[(2*i)+2] << 8) + (double)data[(2*i)+3]);

HT3775 I just upgraded my ipad to 6.0. I can no longer expand my audio files so that I can move forwards and backwards. I used to get a diagonal arrow to enlarge the screen and then have a bar that I can move to navigate. Can you help?

I just upgraded my ipad to 6.0. I can no longer expand my audio files so that I can move forwards and backwards. I used to get a diagonal arrow to enlarge the screen and then have a bar that I can move to navigate. Can you help?

Hi James,
I am listening to embedded training files on the Quick Time player (I think). They cannot be copied to protect the information. You only have the option of listening. I used to be able to click on the Q in the audio strip and it would provide a diagonal arrow and this would allow me to expand the bar to a full screen. I then had the bar which would allow me to navigate in case I wanted to listen again or in case I wanted to move forward. After my upgrade, I can no longer expand the strip to a full screen with the adjuster. Now I have not chance to take a break in listening to these audios and most of them are at least an hour long. Thanks for your help.

My computer is authorized, but when I try to open a recently downloaded audio file I get asked for my "Audible username and password" and my AppleID and password do not work

My computer is authorized, but when I try to open a recently downloaded audio file I get asked for my "Audible username and password" and my AppleID and password do not work.

thats because audible isnt apple provided, its a third party app/website so you'll have to get it from them
