Broadcast Wav files from PT to Logic not moving to original record position

Okay, my system needs upgrading but I'm stable (at least I think I am til now!) I have a TV network sending me broadcast wav files from PT. They shoot their video on a 24 hour clock. I'm to be editing and mixing (in Logic) their audio tracks from PT and send them back as broadcast wav files for them to sync back to their video. After years and years of recording and producing music, this TV world is a first for me. 2 issues at hand that are causing trouble.
NUMBER 1: The wav files will not snap to original record position. I keep getting an error message about "out of range" and of all craziness with a negative SMPTE number. ??? The prompt suggests an offset error. But there isn't I can find. Start time is set to 0:0:0.0.0 here and at the TV studio. They film at 29.97d. That matches as well. Sample Rate is correct at 48k 24bit. I've uncovered every thing I can think of. I did have to set the tempo down to 5 BPM in order to see a full 24 hours in SMPTE.
NUMBER 2: I can't figure out how to see the timestamp start time of the audio files in the audio window. I have every option turned on in the VIEW option, I can see length, but I see nothing about start time of original record time. Am I missing something simple here? Seems like a very standard option that should be easily accessible. It would allow me to prepare the location on the time line.
Overall, I'm hoping I can do all the above with my current rig but realize that the clock is ticking toward a whole new system with Logic 9.
Help please. Don't want to lose this client.

Sure do appreciate everyone's willingness to help. Setting SMPTE start to 24:00:00.0.0 didn't work either. I confirmed with the studio manager at the TV station also that they run a 24hour clock with 0 being midnight.
I'm really hoping that the error is on their end.
*It would help me if anyone knew how to VIEW the Timestamp info attached to the wav files. That would at least give me an approximate idea of where they should be.*
I'm supposed to be editing and mixing the voice dialog from numerous different scene takes that were shot throughout a day of filming. It's critical that I can see all these different takes that were captured over hours of open recording. Some of the files are almost 4 hours long. It's a big project and I'm sure hoping I can stay inside Logic to get it all done with excellence.

Wav files on external drive will not work in Apple Loops

When I import wav files (from Nu Jazz Funk library) by dropping on the AL browser from an external drive, Apple Loops insists on copying them to my system drive (no option to make use current location). If I manually make an alias, the files show up, but play at the wrong tempo. I even tried letting AL make the copy, then moving that to an external drive & making an alias of that. No go. BTW, aif files work fine.

Yeah, that's because Apple Loops are .AIF files, not .WAV.

Premiere Pro Metadata & iXML/BEXT for Broadcast WAV files

Hi.
For feature film workflows, we depend greatly on the iXML and BEXT chunk in broadcast wave files.
As far as I can see, the XMP metadata "engine" (don't know of a better word) doesn't "see" the iXML and BEXT chunk in broadcast wave files.
Is there a particular workflow/workaround where the iXML and BEXT metadata show up in the "Metadata" tab in Premiere Pro.
Thanks!

I see, thanks for the response.
I know there is a plug-in that allows FLAC files to be played in iTunes, so I'm wondering if there is some kind of 3rd party app that could solve this WAV metadata issue?
I have never heard of such a plug-in, and kind of doubt there is one, but perhaps a search would turn something up.
By the way, iTunes does not "lose" the tag data, it just fails to display or do anything with it. The tag data is still there if you use that same WAV file in another program.
Or am I just running into a brick wall here?
Maybe.
The more typical way to use WAV files is to embed the relevant information into the filename, which is always available. In iTunes, for any file which it thinks has no tags, the exact filename is displayed in the Name field.

Subsequent play of WAV files from HTTP

Hi,
I have to subsequently play many WAV files from HTTP in a nokia series 60 emulator.
Everything is ok for the first two files, but at the third I catch an exception:
"java.io.IOException: exceeded the configured maximum number of connections"
I tried two ways to load the files from HTTP:
Manager.CreatePlayer(InputStream...)
Manager.CreatePlayer("http:\\...")
Below there is the code of the two methods I use. Please note that I try in every way to close the connection before open a new one!!!
public void Method_1(String src, String type){
int iLen=0;
is = null;
httpCon = null;
byte[] bBuf;
try {
if (p != null) {
if (p.getState() == Player.STARTED) {
p.stop();
p.removePlayerListener(this);
p.deallocate();
p.close();
p=null;
if (is!=null){
is.close();
is=null;
if (httpCon!=null){
httpCon.close();
httpCon=null;
httpCon = (HttpConnection) Connector.open(src);
if (httpCon.getResponseCode() != HttpConnection.HTTP_OK) {
System.out.println("Bad response code");
return;
System.out.println("Connection OK! (audio)");
iLen = (int) httpCon.getLength();
System.out.println("audio file length : " + iLen);
is = httpCon.openInputStream();
p = Manager.createPlayer(is, type);
p.addPlayerListener(this);
p.setLoopCount(1);
p.prefetch();
p.start();
vc = (VolumeControl)p.getControl("VolumeControl");
catch (MediaException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
public void Method_2(String src){
try {
if (p!=null){
if (p.getState() == Player.STARTED)
p.stop();
p.deallocate();
p.close();
p=null;
p = Manager.createPlayer(src);
p.addPlayerListener(this);
p.setLoopCount(1);
p.start();
vc = (VolumeControl)p.getControl("VolumeControl");
catch (java.io.IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
catch (MediaException e) {
e.printStackTrace();

My question is:
how can I load (from a HTTP server) and play more than two WAV files without crashing?
Do I have to close the connection in a better way in order to re-open it without problems (and more than two times)?
It is simply an emulator bug?
Thanks.

How to generate .wav files from sound pressure data

Hi,
I have sound pressure data (as dB values) vs frequency data.
How can I create a playable .wav file based on above?
Note: I do NOT have sound pressure vs time data
I am working in LV 7.1 FDS on Win2000.
If really required, I can incorporate VIs from sound and vibration toolkit (version 1.0).
However, I would prefer a solution that does not need me to do that.
Thanks in anticipation,
Gurdas

All,
With some help from NI-India, we managed to build a nice sound player and .wav saving utility.
I have attached the VI sent by NI-India. The key component which was missing in my VI was "resample waveform".
Note: For some reason, I could not use the attached VI to generate sound but did use the concept to succesfully read my sound pressure data and output it to the speaker (and also save it as .wav file tha can be played on Windows Media Player). Also note that I am now generating sound from sound pressure vs time data. I have not tried generating sound from sound pressure vs frequency data.
I would love to have the following answered:
1) What data does the sound write VI expect? Is it Sound Pressure values? What units (N/m2 or dB or dBA)? I think it expects sound pressure data and the units are not relevant. Reason being my next question.
2) I found that until I mutliply the sound pressure data by a very large number say 10e7, the sound is hardly audible (even when volume was programmatically set to max. i.e. 65535). The sound QUALITY does not change when I change this multiplier.
2.a) Does that mean its only the relative difference between wave data points that affects sound quality? If yes, then I believe the sound pressure data can be in any units.
2.b) Is it expected to use this huge multiplier OR did I do something without really knowing what it meant?
Thanks,
Gurdas

anomaly jade,
You only need to use the serial number during installation.
Have you, at least seemingly, been able to install, and then you are unable to start up?
If that is the case, you could try to reinstall using the full three step way:
Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

Wav file from remix stem pack has no volume - Logic Pro 9

I recently downloaded a remix stem pack and can't get the vocal wav file to play. It show's a wave form, but no volume. If I load a sample wav file, a drum hit for example, it will play no problem. Anyone have any idea's? It's not the wav file as it plays in itunes, and also plays in my friends logic pro.
Thanks

The hierarchy is [LOGIC FILE NAME]>LgDoc>(files ... Displaystate, DocumentData, Windowimage.jpg)
Like this:
You need to recreate the folder structure in order to be able to open the file. (look at the path bar at the bottom of the picture.)
Do not disassociate the displaystate from the documentData files. They should be together. The windowimage file is optional and will be recreated when the file is saved again.
Hope this helps!

How to read a .wav file from a .jar - Please Help!!!

Hello,
I know this is a stupid question but I keep having trouble doing this. My code is the following:
    Display display;
    Alert alert;
    InputStream stream;
    Player player;
stream = getClass().getResourceAsStream("newalert.wav");
            player = Manager.createPlayer(stream, "audio/wav");
            player.prefetch();
            player.start();
...I'm running this Midlet on a Motorola A1000 and I keep getting the following exception:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:
stream is null
I've created the .jad package using KToolBar of the J2ME WTK2.2 with the appropriate .wav file on res folder.
What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Paulo

Hi
If your stream is null, then the wav file cannot be reached. Try this code:
stream = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/newalert.wav");If this doesn't work either, make sure your wav file is directly in the res directory and not in another subdirectory of it. I suggets not running your application directly from the phone until it works from the WTK emulator.

Splitting .wav Files from LPs in WaveStu

Hi,
Does anyone know how to split a large .wav file using Creative WaveStudio? I haven't been able to find out how in the help files or online knowledgebase.
I have a SB Li've! 24-bit and have successfully recorded LPs to .wav files in 96kHz/24-bit resolution (I plan to take advantage of the higher resolution afforded by the DVD specification over normal audio CDs and make music-only DVDs). I've been capturing whole sides of LPs and now need to split the resulting file into tracks.
I can think of two work arounds:
) record one track at a time.
2) make individual tracks from several copies of the large file.
But it would be easier to just be able to split the large file into individual tracks. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

if you only deals with STEREO 24/92 files then wave studio should be able to split them easily.
if you're dealing with multi-channel 24/96 files then I think Goldwave isn't able to process them correctly (it's not indicated it supports multichannel files in the product description).
If you plan to play your records on a PC only, then why you do not compress them with Windows Media codec (lossless for 5./24bit/96kHz, or Professionnal for 7./24bit/96kHz max). You'll be able to fill more your compilations without any hearable audio loss (with the lossless one yes).
Windows media encoder can do this very well, as well as indexing its media formats.

How to create a wav file from 24bit 96Khz sampling rate data

Hi
I am trying to make an VI which will play sound while acquiring data from PXI 4472 DAQ card.
My sampling rate is 96Khz and PXI 4472 card is a 24bit card.
Wave files are in 8 or 16 bit and the sampling rate is 8000, 11025, 22050 and 44100. How will I be able to play the data which I am acquiring.
How would i normalize the data into the required format needed for most of the sound cards to play.
Or are there any codec available in Windows XP which i call to play a 96KHz 24 bit sample
Does anybody ever encountered this type of problem.
Thanks in advance
Nitin

Whilst the 'standard' RIFF format specification usually accomodates 16 bit data, there is of course no reason that you can not create your own extension. It just won't be playable by Media player using the 'standard' installed drivers or codec. This may not be a problem....
WAV files can and do support other formats, you just need to know how to handle them......
There is howerver a 4GB limit (related to the pointer size in the WAV specification) which with higher bit depths on the sampling does start to become a bit of a problem.
To give you a few samples of other types of wav files check out the following site here
http://www-mmsp.ece.mcgill.ca/Documents/AudioFormats/WAVE/Samples.html
The following definitions for WAV audio formats may also be of interest here

Good luck with 24 bits.

Why are .wav files from iTunes so small?

I'm pretty new to iTunes. The experience has been spoiled by the following problem I have.
On my import options (i.e., Edit>Preferences>Advanced>Importing), I have set:
import using: WAV encoder
custom setting: 44.1kHz, 16-bit
This should be CD-quality CD. As such, each minute should take about 11 MBytes or so. (That's how my wav files ripped from audio CD are). Well I just downloaded Candlebox's Far Behind which is about 5 minutes long, and for some reason it only takes 5 Mbytes on my hard drive. Savings space on my hard drive is of little importance to me. What I really want is top lossless quality. And I have a superfast connection, so that's not an issue either.
So what's going on here?
Are these settings not for downloading, but rather for ripping music from audio CDs I already have, or what?
Thanx.

The import setting is for CDs you already have or if you had WMA files and were converting them into iTunes. Downloads off the net are almost always in MP3 format and songs bought off iTunes are in the AAC format (A compressed format just like MP3). I wouldn't worry about it much. If there songs you bought on iTUnes, AAC is a very good sound format and (Far as I know) are just like CD quality
I have bought one or 2 albums in a store on CD and off iTunes in ther AAC format and I can not tell a diff in neither
