Avoiding spinning beachball after recording audio files under 20mb

No more spinning beachball after deactivating Journaling on my external FW drive. I always had to wait minutes before I could start another recording because the OS seemed to copying the files to another place on the drive if it's under 20mb.

I did not want to mark this as answere, but i was kicked out

HT201066 How can I split a long recording audio file into multiple audio files?

Hi,
How can I split a long recording audio file into multiple audio files?
With Windows I was using Nero software, which is not available for Mac. Is there any similar app for free for Mac?
Thanks!

Hello ingiorgio
You can import the track into GarageBand and then split the tracks there. Once that it is done you can highlight the ruler section and then share the song to iTunes to get them separated out.

Record audio file in a wav file format using QuickTime 7 Pro for Windows?

Is it possible to record audio file in a wav file format using QuickTime 7 Pro for Windows? The system I want to upload audio files that I record to requires they be in a wav file format / PCM - 112025kh / 8 bit mono / 11.05khz
Something tells me no...and I bought this upgrade for nothing...GRRRRRRR

QuickTime Pro for Windows allows you to make audio recordings from some input devices.
You can then "export" these new files to .wav format at any setting you choose.

Recorded audio files are gone after power outage during a concert

Hello together,
yesterday I used Logic Pro X to record a concert at our school. I had connected my MacBook Air to our mixer via FireWire, and everything went fine until two minutes before the concert's ending, the power went out. My MacBook was still working from battery, however, Logic Pro stopped recording and all recorded files except for one audio file are gone. I have already tried to recover the lost data by using a data recovery app, but it didn't find anything.
Is there a way to recover the lost recordings? I mean, Logic must have written its audio files to the hard drive somewhere and even when everything crashed, I don't think the files got overwritten with zeros or something else that could have destroyed it...
Many Regards,
Leo Bernard

How to remove noise from a recorded audio file.

I'm a relatively new user. I recorded certain audio files which are noisy(humm or hiss). Can anyone suggest ways to remove noise from that clip? I tried Denoiser but it added further noise artifacts which were unpleasant to hear Need help. And pls dont ask me to rerecord it in a noise free environment!

If you have some cash you go after 'Sonnox Restoreor' or 'iZotope RX'. Otherwise this might be of some help:

Spinning Beachball after downloading latest version

Ever since downloading the latest version of iPhoto last week, after I'm editing a photo in full screen and I click on the "X" to exit full screen, instead of exiting I get a never-ending spinning beachball. All I can do at this point is force quit. After reopening iPhoto, I find that my editing changes were somehow saved to the thumbnail of the photo I was editing, but when I click on the thumbnail to expand it, the previous non-edited photo appears. What could be going on?

First to the spinning beachball:
Try delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
As to the other issue:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

How do you add an already recording audio file to garageband

hi, i want to create an audio podcast. i have already recorded the audio using another recording software. i have no idea how i now import this .mp3 file into garageband to create a podcast and submit to iTunes. thanks

Just pull the audio file into GB's timeline (the big gray area in the middle.)

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!

Premier freezes on export after rendering audio files

I'm having issues exporting projects out of premier today.
System specs:
6 core mac pro trashcan
D500s
32gb ram
500gb ssd
All media is on a lacie thunderbolt raid0 drive
Currently working on the simplest timeline you can imagine. One pro res proxy clip on a pro res proxy timeline exporting with matched sequence settings. No effects or plug ins.
When I export it renders the audio files and then stops at 0.01%. When I hit cancel premier crashes
I've also tried rendering in the timeline and the same thing happens. I've tried a few different projects with different media and the same thing happens.
Talked to support on chat. The guy trashed my preferences and deleted/moved all my plug ins (thanks - didn't let me know he was doing that). In the end I had a deadline to meet so cancelled the chat, unplugged my drive, plugged it into my macbook pro and was able to export as normal from there. Wanted to go back on chat now but its unavailable.
My mac pro has been exporting all week just fine. The only thing I've done in the last few days is install Osiris LUTS. I was still able to export another project after that as well. Right now I'm guessing that I'll need to do a full re-install of adobe CC, but having to do this in the middle of projects isn't really acceptable. Perhaps there's another solution?
Oh and by the way I'm on CC2014 v8.1. I haven't run the latest updates yet. As I said - in the middle of several projects and up until today everything was running great (apart from a couple of crashes a week)
Thanks for any help!

Found the issue. Was just about to re-install everything when I noticed some quicktime files on my desktop not displaying as normal. Tried to play them and sure enough wouldn't open (quicktime wanted to convert them). So I downloaded the latest apple pro apps and now I'm all good exporting.
I remembered last night I downloaded some youtube ripper software. I'm guessing that messed with my codecs somewhere down the line.

Are plug-ins applied in the recorded audio file with GB2?

I have a very basic question and I think I know the answer but I just want to have a confirmation. I am using the ChannelStrip plug-in from Metric Halo, which is great by the way, I am wondering if the process is applied directly in the audio file when I am recording a track or if it will only be when I export the track to iTunes? For example when you process a file with a software like PEAK you must indicate that you want the plug in to be applied to the audio file unless it will leave the original audio file unchanged.
Thanks in advance!

If I can remember rightly, a sound recordist friend of mine had one of these units and there was a problem importing the audio from it into pro-tools and avid. I do remember though it was a firmware update that eventually fixed it.
Also does this thing record dual stereo channels onto one .wav file, or two seperate .wavs?

Why can't I playback Sonority Recorder audio files?

I have transferred audio files from my Olympus Voice Recorder DM-420 to my iMac and would like to use Sonority application to playback. IMac will not play the audio files. Any ideas as to why? Thanks in advance...

Yes you can merge two audio regions
Simple way:
Create two audio tracks...
Place audio region 1 on 1st Audio track
Place audio region 2 on 2nd Audio track
Press play and adjust levels/pan/fx etc in mixer.....
Select all regions using Shift and Left click on each region
Right / Control Click on one of the regions and from the popup menu choose Bounce & Join > Join or press CMD + J
Now in the next dialog box choose Stereo or Mono mixdown
Mixdown done... Single audio file now found in first track with mixdown of both tracks....
(Rename track.region to taste)
Bear in mind track volume /pan levels etc get mixed down also so again mix to taste before joining
Done!

Recording audio files in PCM_FLOAT format

Hello!
I'm trying to record voice sample and I've got a problem with my .wav format. With:
AudioFormat format = new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.Encoding.PCM_SIGNED, 44100.0F, 16, 1, 2, 44100.0F, false);everything works fine. But what I need (because of further analysis of this audio file in Matlab) is PCM_FLOAT format:
AudioFormat format = new AudioFormat(AudioFormat.Encoding.PCM_FLOAT, 8000.0F, 32, 1, 4, 8000.0F, true);which unfortunately returns an error:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
No line matching interface TargetDataLine supporting format PCM_FLOAT 8000.0 Hz, 32 bit, mono, 4 bytes/frame, is supported.I've tried a lot of different combinations with PCM_FLOAT but every one of them returns same exception. I'm probably missing something but the question is: what? How can I find what audio formats could work with my sound card? If I can only use PCM_SIGNED or UNSIGNED how can I convert recorded .wav file to PCMFLOAT?

I've finally been able to try what you suggested. As server received from the client an array of bytes I tried to convert it to an array of floats:
IntBuffer sbuf = ByteBuffer.wrap(myAudioBytes).order(ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN).asIntBuffer();
int[] audioInts = new int[sbuf.capacity()];
sbuf.get(audioInts);
float[][] audioFloats = new float[audioInts.length][1];
for (int k = 0; k < audioInts.length; k++)
    audioFloats[k][0] = ((float)audioInts[k])/0x8000; // Two dimensions in audioFloats because Utils.floatsToWav needs to know whether it's mono or not.
}and then save it to file using http://code.google.com/p/j-simple-wav-io/ :
Utils.floatsToWAV(audioFloats,new File("output.wav"),8000);Unfortunately it didn't work. I checked the .wav files with AudioFileInfo from jsresources.org and it recognizes the format of output.wav as:
Type: WAVE
AudioFormat: PCM_SIGNED, 8000.0 Hz, 16 bit, mono, 2 bits/frame, little-endian
Lenght of audio data: 22050 frames, 44100 bytes, 2,75625 seconds
Total lenght of file (including headers): 44144 byteswhile valid audio file (I mean the one that actually works with my Matlab script) is:
Type: WAVE
AudioFormat: PCM_FLOAT, 8000.0 Hz, 32 bit, mono, 4 bits/frame
Lenght of audio data: unknown
Total lenght of file (including headers): unknownBefore that I tried to do it another way:
- getTargetEncodings(originalFormat) --> returned PCM_FLOAT (amongst others);
- isConversionSupported(targetFormat, originalFormat) --> returned true;
(where originalFormat is "PCM_SIGNED, 8000.0F, 16, 1, 2, 8000.0F, false" and targetFormat is "PCM_FLOAT, 8000.0F, 32, 1, 4, 8000.0F, false" - as you can see above I don't really know if Matlab wants little or big endian).
so I thought sth like this will do the trick:
ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(myAudioBytes);
AudioInputStream AIS = new AudioInputStream(bais, originalFormat, myAudioBytes.length / originalFormat.getFrameSize());
if(AudioSystem.isConversionSupported(targetFormat, originalFormat))
    AIS = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(targetFormat, AIS);
File file = new File(fileName);
int nWrittenBytes = 0;
try
    nWrittenBytes = AudioSystem.write(AIS, AudioFileFormat.Type.WAVE, file);
}It didn't work either (but it seems that this bit can help switching from 16 to 32 bits and from 2 to 4 bits/frame).
So - clearly I've done something wrong but again have no idea what. I'm sort of new to Java and an absolute novice to processing audio files so thanks for all the advices :-).

How many MB does an iPhone 4S record Audio file?

I am planing to buy an iPhone 4S but I don't know which capacity should I chose.
I think I will record up to 8 hours.
Also, I don't know which is the best format for recording audio?
( *.mp3 ; *.aac or *.wav )

mine took a long time lost patience and rebooted it and then I started from the begining
so guess I made it take even longer and I did it over usb

E72 recorder: audio file MP4??

Today I recorded some economy lessons with my E72. I chose "High Quality" in the options and started.
When went to listen to them, back home, the recorder couldn't find them in the card!! I was sure ti have recorded them correctly. And I remember I could see and play previous recordings made in medium quality .
So explored the card with the office file explorer and I found them as "videoclips" ??!! And, in actual fact, clicking on them the real player opened and I could listen to them. Then, I explored the files via PC Suite and realized the medium quality have the WAV extension, the HIGH Q have the MP4 extension. Then, I made the experiment of renaming all of them with the MP3 extensione ..and finally the recorder could see and play all of them, MID Q and HI Q
So, why the phone doesn't give always the MP3 extension to the recorded files? To me they should simply be MP3 files sampled at diferent rates, but always MP3...or not?

You're question is quite interesting that I decided to test out the Recorder application too using the various settings.
Indeed, when settings is "Standard", it uses:
Format: audio/wav
Bitrate: 128 kbit/s
Sampling rate: 8000Hz
roughly 5-second sample clip's file size: ~ 85 kb
setting is "MMS-compatible"
Format: audio/amr
Bitrate: 12 kbit/s
Sampling rate: 8000 Hz
roughly 5-second sample clip's file size: ~ 8 kb
setting is "High"
Format: audio/mp4
*Bitrate: 64 kbit/s
*Sampling rate: 48000 Hz
roughly 5-second sample clip's file size: ~ 43 kb
*I got this info after downloading the sample .mp4 I recorded to the PC
(for the WAV and AMR, those info are shown using the phone's Clip Details)
The 5-second is not exact (I just recorded my voice saying the same words approx for 5 seconds).
~~~~~~
puasho:
AMR is different from WAV which is different from MP4.
Even when you rename the MP4 to MP3, it won't become an MP3 file (though sometimes it fools the PC's player to force playing the sound file (sometimes, it may know how to play a certain file format but didn't recognize the file extension)
