Audio Speed Adjustment Problems

Is there a freeware or Audacity plugin that will let me change the speed of an audio clip by entering how many seconds I want the clip to last?
Example, suppose I have a clip that's 60 seconds long. I want to extend it to 62.5 seconds (don't ask why; I don't even know myself). I could simply enter 62.5 seconds and it would stretch/squeeze the audio into that amount of time.
Keep in mind I'm working on a zero dollar budget here.
Thanks all!

Yes, you can adjust audio... I kind of got fed up with Audacity... Peak did this pretty well (when its preferences file didn't go south).
In Logic, you can press Apple + 9 to get to the Audio Window -- it'll list all audio files (or segments thereof) used in your project. Double-click the one you want and you'll be able to edit it in another window (I think this one's called the Sample Edit Window).
Under the Factory Menu, check out the "Time and Pitch Machine" -- there are a bunch of settings there that should meet your needs. Just keep in mind that the efficacy of these changes depend on the material you're working on. The manual discusses this in depth.
Also check out "Time Stretch" in the Logic Manual -- you can convert audio into Apple Loops, for example, which can change tempo and pitch pretty flexibly.

IPhone audio speed adjustment

I am trying to adjust the speed on my audiobooks after they have mysteriously converted to 2x. I have tried to use online instructions by going to settings and then to the ipod setting, but I don't have an ipod setting in settings...only music...but there is no way that I can see to make the adjustment through music. Suggestions?

Clip speed adjustiment problem

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, when I try to adjust clip speed, after the conversion process, the clip (in the event as well) becomes corrupted and turns green. I have to go into the iMoive Original folder and copy the clip back into the Event folder to restore it. And then I still cannot adjust speed. Is there a bug I need to fix? It's happened twice and is very frustrating. If anyone could help, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

When you change the speed of a clip in the timeline, the length of the sequence changes, it ripples the sequence. If there are overlapping tracks, such as audio, that have to move they might collide with other clips creating the kind of conflict error message you get.
One way around this is to put the playhead at the beginning of the clip you want and press Cm-Opt-F, which calls up a new copy of the clip from the hard drive. Mark an In point and change the speed of the clip. Edit however much of it you want into the timeline.

Wind tunnel speed adjustment

Hello,
I am currently writing a program to adjust the speed of a wind tunnel. I have a few questions about my program and why it is working in a particular way. In addition, I am fairly new to LabVIEW so if someone see's a better way of constructing my program I am all for suggestions. For example, I have a lot of nested loops which I just learned Consumer/Producer loops might eliminate. I have learned a lot in the past few months but still have a long way to go.
Here is the overall goal IM trying to accomplish. I am using an ABB ACS 550 drive to power a wind tunnel. In addition, I am controlling the drive from LabVIEW using the digital outputs on my DAQ (NI USB-6211).
The program I have attached, will start the wind tunnel, monitor the mach number, compare it to a target mach number, then adjust the RPM of the drive either up or down, and keep repeating the monitoring and adjusting until the target mach number (range with limits) is reached. The one thing ive tried and have questions about is another timer. I inserted on in a frame before the daq assistants to allow the adjustment of RPM to stabilize. I wanted to wait Sec before collecting the mach number again. However when I did this it shortened the timer in the while loop. Why is that? Lastly, if I put the timer to 3 sec I get an error (Code 200279).
Thanks for the help! Again any suggestions for improvement would be greatly appreciated!

Auto Speed Adjustment.vi ‏326 KB

Hello,
Sorry for not being clear, I was in a hurry the other day when I wrote this.
Over the weekend I did some more research on how to improve the program and ended up creating a state machine that completes the same tasks. I have attached the new code however I am still having the same issues. The answers to your questions are,
1 and 3... Ideally I would like a 3 sec wait time after adjusting the mach number. I don’t believe this timer was included in the other code; instead I was trying to explain where I had tried putting it. I tried putting it in the same case structure as the while loop that collects the mach number. It was before the loop. In addition, I tried putting it in the structure that the increase/decrease daq assistants were. Each location allowed me to have a time < 3s. When I set the timer to 3s that is when I would get the error.
2. When I had the timer I described above, it affected the elapsed time of the while loop. I want the while loop to run for 3s to collect 300 mach numbers to average (100Hz sample rate). With the addition of the mentioned timer, even if I set the length of the elapsed timer to 3 secs. it seems to only run for 3-timer secs. For example, if I set the timer to 2 secs. the elapsed time would only run for 1 sec. I noticed this when observing the elapsed time indicator on the front panel.
I have attached the new vi (State Machine) and a picture highlighting the timer I am talking about. I am also having the same problem with the timer affecting the elapsed time. I have adjusted the code so it takes the timer and adds that amount of time back to the elapsed timer length, however, I don’t think this is the correct way of doing it. Now when the program runs, the first time the elapsed time indicator will run showing 0-5secs. but for every other iteration of the loop it will only show 2-5 secs.
Lastly, as I am putting the finishing touches on my new program, if you have any other suggestions let me know!
Thanks for your help!

NB fan speed adjust with CoreCenter

Looks like it isn't possible to adjust NB fan speed with latest CoreCenter on a 865PE Neo2 with latest Bios.
CPU fan speed adjust works great.
Any help?

I've just tested Speedfan and this Program doesn't work also (and YES i've read the complete guide).
Is it a problem with the latest Bios 3.6?

I need to upgrade my 10.5.1 os on my G4/1.25 (I'm having some audio-midi setup problems), but it's a machine that is not connected to the internet. Do I have any options? Thanks!

Friends,
I'm having some audio-midi setup problems on my G4/1.25/10.5.1 machine. I'm thinking that a routine OS upgrade might help. However, this machine is not connected to the internet. Are there any alternate methods for upgrading system software? Thanks in advance!

OK, what you should do is download the updates on another machine and burn them to a disc. Start at this link http://support.apple.com/downloads/#leopard for downloads and find, among other things, the 10.5.8 combo updater that works on PPC machines, plus security, QuickTime and other updates. Going from 10.5.1 to 10.5.8, there will probably be a bunch of things that you should install. Being off the internet with the machine, you can't have Software Update sort it out, so something might get missed, unfortunately.
My suggestion is this: if it looks like you might need a download, get it onto that disc.

'Source play' and 'audio-video sync' problems with PE8 on fast WIN7 64 bit computer

I am transferring Hi8 videos, about 2 hours long, to my WIN7 64 bit computer with PE8. [Dell Mobile Precision M4400 Computer Workstation (Intel Core 2 Duo T9900 500GB/4GB); NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M, 512MB] I seem to have several problems:
First, after importing the file (.avi), I get a message about ‘dropped frames.’
Secondly, when I try to play the video in the source monitor, the audio plays but the video doesn’t; it only shows the first frame [this is after waiting until the video is ?recognized? ] I can use the shift-arrow key and see that the video is there.
Thirdly, I can play the .avi file in other players, e.g., avidemux or PE pro CS5 on another computer. There, I see that the audio and video are not in sync; the audio can be up to 300 ms ahead of the video (as determined using avidemux).
Questions:
1. Why doesn’t the source monitor play the video? Is this a problem with PE8 (latest update as of 3 March 2011) on aWIN7 64 bit computer (intel duo core. 3 GHz).
2. Is the audio-video sync problem the result of the ‘dropped frames?’ How can PE8 correct this? Avoid this? Or, is it coincidence?

"I think you're telling me you're using a backwards compatible Digital8 camcorder to capture your video as DV-AVIs. Is that right?" YES
"Are you using Premiere Elements to do this capturing?" YES, AS ABOVE PE8
"Go to the File menu and select Properties. It should show a standard DV codec being used for your video and audio."
WMP v12 is dumb. Under properties, media, it says 'video.' However, avidemux gave me the information state above: video -- Codec 4CC: dvsd, frame rate: 29.971 fps; audio -- codec: PCM, channels: Stereo, frequency: 48 kHz.
So, back to the Questions:
1. Why doesn’t the source monitor play the video? Is this a problem with PE8 (latest update as of 3 March 2011) on aWIN7 64 bit computer (intel duo core. 3 GHz).
2. Is the audio-video sync problem the result of the ‘dropped frames?’ How can PE8 correct this? Avoid this? Or, is it coincidence?

Dropped frames when playing section in the timeline w/audio, Viewer plays fine. Plays for 1 sec, no sound, nothing on audio meters. Problem out the blue, made no conscious changes. FCP 7.0.3. iMac, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5. OS10.8.4. Thanx.

New to FCP. Dropped frames when playing section in the timeline w/audio, Viewer plays fine tho. Plays for bout 1 sec with no sound, nothing showing coming through the audio meters. Problem came out the blue, made no conscious changes to settings. FCP 7.0.3. iMac, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5. OS10.8.4. If any other info needed please let me know, will be happy to provide it. Thanx.

Thank you for the help. Below is my Source footage and sequence settings.
The other footage I have on the timeline is an mp3 file made in Garage Band and some footage I sent to Motion to edit. I do have some offline media on there since I switched computers but FCP had been working fine for a few months with it on there. I have not tried trashing my FCP Preferences. If I did would I have to back up my project?

Yeah, it does make me appreciate Wordpress. I would have
stuck with it, but
when I found out that you have to pay to edit your CSS (on
their hosted
plan), I switched back to Blogger!
I'll keep my eye on that beta ("draft") version of Blogger. I
have to be
cautious with my client's account, but maybe I'll try it for
my own blogs.
Thanks again...!

Sb x-fi xtreme audio console launcher problems on windows 7 32bit

Asb x-fi xtreme audio console launcher problems on windows 7 32bit'sI recently installed windows 7, because I was tired from Windows XP, but unfortunately after installing all the drivers for my hardware I realized my 5. isn't working quite as expected.
My first problem was, that the Crystalizer didn't work, after installing tons of different software, found on creative labs forums the crystalizer started working.
Then I realized that the CMSS-3D wasn't (and still isn't working). How do I fix that ? I've tried numerous ways but nothing happens, while in windows XP everything worked fine after installing the drivers.
I also miss some configuration options in the Creative Console Launcher, namely the check boxes:
?"Automatically enable headphone settings" and "Automatically mute speakers".
Where the hell did they go?! I use them, I need them. How do I get them back? Is XP somehow privileged than 7? Isn't it supposed to be the opposite?
I also can't change the speaker configuration - it's stays 5. whatever I do, and the drop-down menu with the choices is missing?! Auto-detect option doesn't work, and if it did worked - I don't need it.

Speed adjustment has stopped working

iMovie 10.0.4; OS 10.9.4.
I am three quarters of the way through a 45-minute project, and the speed adjustment has stopped working. The hare icon is greyed out. I have used the adjustment successfully on two or three clips in the project, both for speed adjustment and clip reversal, and these adjustments are still effective, though the SpeedBar and hare symbol have vanished from their thumbnails.I have tried a number of things, but to no avail:
Creating a new project based on a different event. Speed adjustment does not work for that either.
Creating a project in iMovie on a different user account. That does work.
Reverting temporarily to iMovie 10.0 .3. Didn't work.
Repairing permissions and restarting. Didn't work.
Any help would be much appreciated.

I haven't really done any cleanup or anything for that matter simply because I can't figure anything out. When it comes to track down and remove the user.js file, I can't find it at all. I even followed all the instructions to get to the profile page that it would be one. I am not trying to get speed dial as a home page, I want it to be there when I open up a new tab. On the whole speed dial options, it is selected as a new tab however this flippin search page conduit.com is there. I have even set the speed dial to open up in a new window, and that did not work. I don't know what to do. I feel for whatever reason my Firefox is not installed properly. When I installed it, the so called firefox button at the top was never there. When an online instructions shows me pictures, I have something completely different and have to spend time figureing out where this whatever is. If resetting firefox will fix the issue, even if I have to re install Speed dial and reset it all, I am totally game for that. Nothing else has worked and I am getting very frustrated by it.

Eventual audio RAM preview problem...

AE CS3 (with Production Premium): When I include audio in my RAM previews, at first, the previews are instantaneous (as they are supposed to be), but after 15 minutes or so, AE starts to take a long time to RAM preview any comp that has audio in it. When I disable audio for RAM preview, everything goes fast again. If I shut down AE, and start again, everything is good again - but the same problem starts all over again and eventually, I have the same problem with audio. This problem happens even if I occasionally purge the memory cache. Any ideas?
I have 4 GB of RAM.
I have enabled the 3GB switch.
Win XP Pro.
Dell Precision T7400 - Dual Quad core.
Lots of HD space.
Nvidia Quadro FX 570.
Sound Card: Creative Soundblaster X-Fi

MSI VOX Audio / Video Sinc problem

Hi All.
Last week i bought a VOX TV Tuner. Nice device works well except for what i want it for.
When I try to cpature at Full PAL DVD resolution I get audio / video sinc problems. The audio is usually ahead of the video. Half PAL DVD or below it's fine.
I suspect it is the basic design of the box that is the trouble. Having the audio feed to the sound card rather than than in the USB2 feed has been a no no ever since the problem was discovered back in the USB 1 days. USB2 is capable of 400Megbits..
However I contacted another user who has no problems and says there is a patch for Direct x PAL video capture. Does any one know of this patch or has any one had the same problem as I have??
This device seems so new that there is no info on the net about it..
TIA.
System : P4. 2.4 Gig, 512 Meg ram, fast HDs, Direct X 9.0 (have not installed 9.0b yet) Asus Mobo P4Pe. Matrox Mystique video card. Win 2K SP4

I would chase that up as it sounds promising.

IMovie 09 - Slow motion and speed adjustment of clips

I was trying to adjust the speed of my clips in a project. When I double clicked on the clip, it told me that I needed to convert the clip before I can adjust the speed. So, I click the button to convert the clip but it doesn't allow me to adjust the speed.
Any ideas out there? Anyone come across this? Is there something wrong with my clip? Help...

This has been brought up before here.

It seems to be a combination of codec types and footage fps that causes this. Jon Walker did indepth test in that thread.
For example, interframe codecs like MPEG4 seems to prefer conversion. Intraframe codec movies (AIC, PhotoJPEG...) are less picky, but they need to be in NTSC compatible fps. (29.97 and 23.98, instead of 30 and 24.) Above thread was about a Quicktime movie from LX3 camera with 24fps. At its native 24fps it needed to be converted before speed change, but after conforming fps to NTSC friendly 23.98 in Cinema Tools, it became speed adjustable without conversion.

Audio Speed change

Hello, does anyone know how to change the audio speed in FCP?
Please let me know.

Select (highlight) the clip in the Timeline and hit Command j to open the Speed control. Enter the speed you want. NOTE: speed changes may not take if a conflict occurs with another clip in the Timeline. You may need to copy the clip to an empty Sequence or to the end of your open Sequence then move it into place after the speed change.
