Audio file Logic issue

Hi there, quick question, I have Logic Pro 9, whenever I go on an audio file in a session I have opened, the track turns on solo or mute (or both), without me doing anything... any advice ? Thanks

You have chosen the wrong tool maybe?

Audio files playlist issue

Hello
I am composer and I have a web page at www.orlov-music.com that I build using iWeb.
I was trying to post some of my works and I got some issues that I was not able to solve.
1. iWeb allows to post audio file, but it always requires to attach some kind of image to audio file
2. iWeb doesn't allow to create a playlist... so every file I have to post separately. If I make a playlist, then it only creates links to iTunes store.
3. When you go to page with my music it takes some time to load it... because it starts to load all these mega bytes into QuickTime players
3. I know the best solution is some kind of flash player, then I can upload to my hosting a folder with audio files and create streaming. Alas iWeb doesn't provide such a solution and I am not strong in HTML programming.
Is there anybody who knows what is the best solution for me if I still want to use iWeb?
Thank You my friends

Serge15:
1 - Even though there's a place to put a picture you don't have to have one and only the control bar will be visible. See this example.
2&3 - if you'd rather have the visitor download the file you can put a text link to a zipped (archived) copy of it so when the link is clicked on it would download immediately.
Or, create a separate page for each song and have the playlist that you create be on the top page with links to each song. Then only one song would have to load at a time.
There are other users here, like QuicktimeKirk, Tom Gewecke, Roddy, that will have more experience with Quicktime and will probably have more elegant solutions. I'm sure they'll pop in shortly.

Import audio file logic to MainStage

Hi there!
I did cut an audio file in Logic and I can't import this file in Mainstage. But the full audio file working. Seems to be the modification with Logic cannot be import by mainstage???
Thanks

I don't think it's a simple option to allow audio tracks to appear in groups because of the basic Motion workflow.
And I don't think it's limiting thinking. You have to consider what a program was designed for vs what it can do. End Users inevitably put programs to uses which the program itself was never intended and that's fine, but just because you work with audio one way in FCP doesn't mean that Motion should have the same workflow. Particularly if it impedes the main function of the program.

Audio File & Keynote Issue

Hi guys,
I have an interview mp3 file I want to synch with my Keynote presentation.
I'm not exactly sure how this can be accomplished.
The help instructions are not helpful at trying to figure this out.
Any ideas on how to accomlpish this while I can transition from slide to slide as well in the process?
Much thanks!
Steve

First, I have to say that "synching" any audio to a Keynote presentation is an "iffy" thing at best. Because Keynote does not treat audio files in an appropriate manner, you may find that longer tracks and presentations will drift out of synch.
That said, here is how you can try to accomplish what you want to do:
1) Create your slideshow presentation as you want to see it appear on the screen. It is best if you can manage all Builds manually by a Click. If you want them to be Automatic, you will have to "time" them to fit the audio track.
2) Then, in the Inspector>Document menu, select Audio
3) Drag the MP3 audio file into the Soundtrack window (or navigate to it and select it)
4) Record your soundtrack:
4.1) Click the "Record" button
4.2) As the soundtrack progresses, CLICK to advance your Builds and Transitions in synch with the audio track. If you make a mistake, you will have to stop, Clear the Recording, and start again.
When finished, check your presentation to see if everything is OK. If you are playing it as a "stand-alone" it should replay just as you Recorded it. However, if you are playing it via a "hyperlink" it will NOT play anything that was initiated with a Click; you will still have to perform these manually during playback.
Also, be aware that the speed of the processor of the computer that plays the presentation will control the duration of all Builds and Transitions, so it is best to use this machine when you create your presentation and Record your Soundtrack. At the least, confirm your presentation on this machine before going public. Otherwise, it is almost guaranteed that things will drift out of sync fairly quickly.
Until the many complaints expressed in this Forum (and to the Apple Keynote Feedback site) regarding how poorly audio is implemented in Keynote, we all will have to do our best to work-around these shortcomings.
Good luck.

Imoprt Audio "Files Supported" Issues

For some very odd reason, I cannot import MP3 files, or MP3files that were converted to WMA. I can import WMA files that were "born" WMA. What is it that I can do?

Activation does not make it the full version and the trial does not include MPEG in any form. MPEG2, HDV, MP3, or whatever.

Logic 8 can't find my audio files

I recently upgraded to Logic 8 from Logic 7. When I did this, I almost completely maxed out the memory on my MacBook Pro. To make enough room for the upgrade, I moved many of my old files to an external hard drive.
When I try to open old Logic files, both those on my MacBook Pro and those from the external hard drive, Logic gives me a message that it cannot find the "_____" audio file, and prompts me to skip it or search for it manually. I'm something of a Logic novice, so I'm hoping that someone can tell me where Logic typically "stores" the audio files. Doing a search by date (trying to find the files by comparing the date of the Logic project and assuming that the audio files would be the same) turned up nothing. However, I didn't delete anything that I didn't move to the external drive. Those audio files have to be somewhere.
Can anyone tell me the file saving protocol for the audio files? I'm sure that I can find them if I can figure out where to look.
Thanks a bunch for your help (you Logic Rock Stars!)

When you originally recorded the songs, had you saved them as a Project? Because if you had, an audio folder for the song would have been created within the songs main folder, and that's where the audio files that are missing will be.
Because you simply dragged the Logic files over to the external drive, and then tried to open the songs, the original audio pathway is still intact, and the Logic file is looking for the audio in it's original location, which, of course, it is not now.
When you get the first message "Cannot find lead vocal 1 (or whatever it is), choose "manually", and navigate to the audio file folder of that song. Once you locate that first missing audio file, Logic will look there for the rest of the missing files, and finish loading the song correctly on it's own.
So... let me ask you... are the Logic song files themselves found with a song folder of the same name? If they are, you should also see a folder within that song folder, labeled "audio files". If that's the case, the audio for that song is stored within that audio files folder.
If you hadn't gotten into the habit of saving songs as projects from back in Logic 7, then this could be a very long, and tedious process, of locating those files.

HT1296 itunes won't sync my audio files after I upgraded my iphone to i0S 6

I upgraded my phone to iOS 6 for the new features and could no longer play (or find) my audio books. The disk space usage indicated that the files were still there but the music player would not show or play them. I try to sync to iTunes Library and it fails. I upgraded my Mac OS and my iTunes versions to the current version and still no luck. Incidentally I also notice that when I try to make a purchase of new audio files through iTunes directly from my iphone it also seems to hang up. Occassionally after a couple reboots it may download but still shows my audio library as being empty.
Not sure where to go from here...any suggestions?

OK, this is weird/interesting . . . just now, syncing my iPad, I noticed that under the Music tab there were no syncing options available, just a message that said "iTunes Matching is on." I'd turned it on yesterday, in the Settings, just messing around trying to troubleshoot the audio file sync issue.
iTunes Matching didn't solve the problem, so I turned it off. Then resynced the iPad again from scratch. THIS TIME everything synced! Every single audio file, every playlist, everything.
So that's odd, right?? I mean, I'm happy that it's working, but I'm not sure why it didn't work to begin with, nor why it's suddenly working now. So it's good, but a little unnerving . . .

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!!
Alessandro

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.

How to export multiple regions with fades to audio files

When I have a bunch of regions that I want to export to audio files Logic manages to ignore the fades I created on them. Is there any other way than bouncing every single region? Basicly I just want to consolidate (like PT) the regions fom the project including the fades.

Sorry, but I forget to tell you, that is one of my report is Interactive Report and another is PL/SQL function returning SQL query report
I know about thats two links which you posted.
I have tryed Denes Kubicek link and his exaple not worked. When I press "Download Excel" button I got excel file only with first report on it (http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:108)
And his package (export_excel_pkg) have a limitation: This package will not work for Function Returning SQL type of report.
By second link, I must totally reprogramming all three my reports, thats is not goog for me.

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 need to copy audio files and projects from logic to an external hard as my MBPis nearly full and my external hard drive has packed up with all my files on it, any suggestions on how do I copy 200GB from my MBP to a new external HD

I Use logic and back my audio file and projects on an external HD ,this has now packed up . I have all the files in the MBP , but need to copy them to a new external HD, I have only 10GB left on my machine , how do I copy 200GB from my machine to a new External HD.
any helpful full advice would be appreciated.

Yes, just drag and drop them into the drive..
How long will it take? Hard to say without knowing the type and speed of the drives in question.. and even then it's hard to estimate... but does time really matter?
The fact you only have 10 Gigs left will/may slow the process down but it wont/shouldn't stop it...
If needed.. just drag and drop some of the files at a time.. not all of them.
Remember that copying files doesn't delete them from the original drive... You will still need to delete them yourself after they are copied over and empty the trash....
However....
When you saved these projects in Logic (Pro X?) did you save them using the include audio files option?
If not, then when you move the audio files used in these projects... Logic will not know where they are to reload them........ and that will cause you issues.
So.. if you didn't...
I would use this method instead...

How to master audio file handling? Where is the logic of Logic?

1. How can I master where to save my logic project files including audio?
2. I want to save a project as a template WITHOUT the recorded track files. When I open the new template I dont want to have all old audio in my "media"browser inside Logic! How?
3. I have one old project with a lot of audio of which only a few are used, yet when I try the cleanup function only a few are erased. Why?
4. How to save a project so that ALL the files used are saved inside that project folder. In Protools and Cubase you can erase all material you dont use.
5. I want to have all my audio saved in ONE project folder but they end up scattered somewhere else, what to do?
I can never get used to the apple/logic sense of file structure. Crazy! Where is the logic of Logic? /Helpless to the logic of Logic 8

Hi
If I understand the problem correctly?
jrm1 wrote:
The possible issue concerns the start of the audio files.
I recorded the tracks down to a stereo file, a region, that appears to start in the arrange at the correct point. But when you record, Logic includes some recording before the start of the region, before the Anchor, correct?
This can depend on how you did the "record down to a stereo file".
If you routed tracks to bus channels, then recorded the bus to another track, Logic will include the count-in in the audio file. As you say, the region in the Arrange will be correctly "trimmed".
One solution would be to convert these bounced regions to new audio files (Audio Menu), another to use Bounce Region (or track) in Place.
Alternatively, use a manually placed "2 pop" 2 seconds before the start of each cue.

Logic not opening 64-bit 48khz audio files.

I recently tracked drums at a studio thatuses Cakewalk Sonar 6. The audio files are consolidated (into 16 54 minute strips) and on my hard drive now, but Logic will not open them for some reason. I have my Mac and Logic in 64-bit mode. When I try to import the files, it changes the session to a 48khz session. Anybody have this sort of problem before?

If your files are 24bit / 48khz, (as originally recorded)... all good (you can check in the "Audio Bin" window where this info is displayed). As above, Logic will automatically switch the session to match the file rate, but if it is converting your audio files unintentionally, you need to un-check "Convert audio file rate when importing" (File> Project Settings> Assets> Assets : "Convert audio file rate when importing").
If your files are still not opening, it could be a Sonar export / compression issue - maybe best to check with the studio you tracked at?

Major crashing issue... Audio file AWOL?

I am hoping someone can help and that I am just doing a dumb mistake. I am using Logic 8 in Leopard on a MacPro. I've been working on a session and have two tracks with a comp'ed vocal. For some reason, the main track view (right next to track name) is empty. When I unpack the comp, the different audio files are all greyed out. And when I click on the main track, Logic crashes and forces a restart, saving a "crashed" version. When it reboots, the pane for my Mackie Control Universal pops up. I'm wondering if there is a problem with the Mackie Control in addition to whatever is happening in Logic.
I've had recent warnings about a possible conflict with third party apps and that I need to check the drivers of my MIDI devices to see if they are up to date? Sorry but I did not record the exact wording. Does anyone know what this might mean, and how I need to go about checking drivers? I have several interfaces and not sure how to see what's what. I realize I may have more than one issue/problem going on here, so thanks for any ideas.

Hi Midlake,
Well, because they are known troublemakers. Search for 'takes' or 'take folder(s)' or 'comp' here on the forum and you'll find many a troubled soul crying out for help - including seasoned pro's, who thought they were beyond tears...
O, they are fine for recording many takes - but thats' all. I'll select the best takes/phrases.
regards, Erik.

Logic Can't Locate Audio Files, Random Freak Occurrence?

I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but today I was asked to bounced down an instrumental of a remix that I had finished a few weeks ago. So when I went to go open up the project, Logic was saying that it couldn't find 3 audio files now all of a sudden, which were all vocal tracks by the way.
At first I thought Logic was looking for edited audio files because the file names had something like this after them... "#21312.wav". I did not see actual audio files that had any of these edited names so I thought that I had really lost the edited audio files some how, but what I did actually see with those edited names were actual folders inside the "Edits" folder of the project folder.
After the project had opened, I looked inside the Media bay window and the three audio files that Logic could not find had an exclamation mark next to them obviously. So I thought about trying something... I double clicked on the exclamation mark on each of the missing files again and I just decided to see what would happen if I chose the audio with out the "#12321.wav" names. It seems as though everything loaded fine and that those "#234323.wav" are not actual files, but folders with edit instructions for the original file in the "audio" folder of a project folder.
This has been the first and hopefully the last time it has happened to me (knock on wood), and I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this before? I would love to know why it happened out of the blue. Logic 8 has been good to me so far, hardly any crashes or other problems, hopefully it's just a random one time freak occurrence!

I did have this issue early on in version 7. It had to do with where I stored certain files and it happened after switching from a G5 to an Intel Mac. I think the issue came from having my Logic content on a separate drive and folder, and when I reinstalled logic I didn't use the same folder for its content.
