CAF into MP3: Logic can't do it

Jjust would like to know why if I import a CAF file into logic and I want to convert it in MP3 it can't do it.
I tried also to convert first the CAF into AIFF and the into MP3. It can't.
Simply the MP3 option doesn't appear (it appears normally with others AIFF files)

Why not import the CAF and bounce it out as an Mp3, same difference.

Convert .caf into .mp3

Hi
I have a problem with converting a CAF file into a MP3 file. I used the SpeakHere example and want to send this file. But I didn't figure it out how to convert this into mp3. According to the iPhone Dev docs there's no mp3 functionality...
Does anybody know how to convert it?
Thanks and Regards

You can play mp3s in the simulator but they won't work on the device. If you really want to convert from a .caf, just use the export function of Quicktime.

How do you add non-Garage band instruments into a Logic project so that you can hear them on playback?

How do you add non-Garage band instruments (orchestral instruments) into a Logic Pro (8) project so that you can hear those insrtruments' sounds on playback? I've tried to understand and follow the Logic Pro 8 User Manual, but the process comes off as so complex and the writing so technical that it does not help but only confuses.
To be precise - I want to add instruments (orchestral) that are not offered in the current Garage band menu which is offered in the Mixer's channel strip menus for Logic Pro 8. To be clear, the instruments that are offered are Bass / Drum Kits / Guitars / Mallets / Organs / Pianos and Keyboards / Synth Basics / Synth Leads / Synth Pads. Most of these that I've tried seem to work and give their characteristic sound when placed in a particular channel and playback is clicked.
However - there is one orchestra instrument offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Mixer channel menu and it's the item labelled "Performance - 000 flute 1 or 001 flute 1." And it is this instrument that presents a problem. When I click on it and choose it from the menu and enter it as the instrument of choice for a specfic channel / track in my Logic Pro project arrangement, when playing back the music for the overall piece this particular track, the flute, does not playback and produce the notes (Midi events) in the track in the sound of the flute. Instead, nothing comes out at all. I can't imagine why this does not work. Any ideas, anyone? Again, when choosing this instrument for a track and clicking the playback no flute sound is forthcoming. Why not? I have not tried them all, but when most of the other various types of keyboards, such as an electric piano or an organ, are chosen for a track the playback successfully renders the sound of these instruments. Why then does playback not produce the sound of the flute when it has clearly been chosen to play and sound the Midi events given it?
Anyway, the overall, larger issue for me is the inability I have to choose and get non-Garageband instruments (largely orchestral) to play the Midi events given on various tracks. If my guess is correct then technically, orchestral instruments not offered in the standard Logic Pro 8 Garageband Mixer channel menu are referred to as external Midi sampled instruments - still, IMHO the process is not clearly spelled out in the User Manual. The simple step by step process whereby a non-Garage band instrument, say an orchestral instrument, is placed in a channel replete with Midi event (notes) waiting to be played should be easy, logical and given in a simple to follow format, but is not.
What with all the talk of routes, busses, auxillary channels, GM devices, GM mixers, audio bins, libraries and audio files this Logic Pro User is confused to the max. Can someone please help me and, in simple English, describe the step by step process whereby presumably external sampled orchestral instruments can be successfully employed, in any given Logic Pro arrangement project, to render their characteristic sounds upon playback?
On my two Macs, one a laptop and one a much larger Mac, I have any number of the GSO (Garritan Symphony Orceshtra) and Vienna Symphony Orchestra instrument library samples - and yet - I've yet to figure out how to actually get them INTO a Logic Pro project of any kind! To put this as a question, even as a humble request, how can I make good use of these orchestral sample libraries in a Logic Pro project? Can someone steer my to a clear resolution of this issue. I'd sincerely appreciate it! Thanks all!

David, you understand that this is professional software and is not necessarily meant to be easy but is in fact designed to give the professional user as many choices as possible, that's why it's in the Pro Apps section. You WILL need to learn about buses, GM Devices, Audio Bins, Libraries...etc..etc if you intend to use Logic.
That said, you are looking in the wrong place in the channel strip.
May I offer you advice?
Go here:
http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/
Open "Exploring Logic Pro" (a short PDF Document). Pay special attention to chapter 3. Also pay special attention to the included graphics of the channel strips.
I encourage you to read the whole document as it will clear up many things... even though it's a Logic 9 document.

How can I get an item that has the broadcast icon next to it into MP3 format so I can put it on my ipod nano?

Question: how can I get an item in my itunes library, on my mac os 10.6.7 that has a broadcast icon next to it into MP3 format so I can play it on my ipod? right now it won't let me, and it's very frustrating!!!! thanks

I might have misunderstood what you mean by the "broadcast icon," but if you are talking about an audio stream, then there is just no way you can convert a stream to MP3. What this would involve is either recording the stream, and then you would just be replaying the recorded audio on your iPod (is this what you are trying to achieve?), or reading the stream directly on your iPod, which an iPod nano does not support (it would need wireless connectivity).
Hope this helps

Can I turn .wma files into mp3 (or something I can use in itunes)?

iTunes for Mac can't handle WMA files, iTunes for winsloth can.
if you have access to a PC, use iTunes there to convert the files. alternatively, you can get EasyWMA and use that app.
the files need to be unprotected in both cases.

How can I turn garage band files into mp3s?

On my older Macbook i have always been able to easily turn my .band files into mp3s under the Advanced heading in itunes, but with my Macbook Pro, that is not an option. The option has become "Create AAC version". How can I turn my .band files into mp3s so that I can load them onto my web page and my students can pick them up as mp3s and put them on their devices?

The option has become "Create AAC version".
Your iTunes importing preferences are currently set to AAC. If you change your Importing preferences to mp3, the option should then become "Create mp3 version". See the following document for some more details:

How do I get Vienna Instruments (VI's) into a Logic Project?

so, I'm running an IMax OS X 10.6.7, with Logic Pro 9.1.4
I recently downloaded Vienna Symphonic Library Special Edition and Special Edition plus, the latest version. Everything is now downloaded and ready to go, and I have started messing around with patches, saving matrices, etc. on the standalone Vienna Software.
So my question is, how do I import the VI's into a Logic Project? I have read the Logic Manual, and it doesn't provide detailed instructions on how to do this. When I look at the Allowable VI plug ins in Logic, it shows the vienna instruments there, but I just don't know how exactly to go from having the matrices saved in my custom folder, using them with the standalone vienna player to actually using them within a Logic Project to create midi regions/tracks, and turn old midid regions/tracks that were created with Logic instruments in to tracks/regions with the Vienna Virtual Instruments.
Help?

Yes, I know how to run a software instrument. I actually figured out how to do this on my own, and am assuming that it is the best way. I just loaded any software "Logic" instrument, and then loaded the Vienna matrix into a plug in slot.
So that seems to work, but now I have more questions. Do you use Vienna?
If I already have a violin region recorded on a Logic instrument track, I have realized that i can just copy and past it onto the new track with the Vienna plug in and it will adopt those settings, but my question is this:
Vienna seems to make a big deal out of being able to play all the articulations of one instrument on just one track, with keyswitch controls, etc. But if I'm working with Midi data on a track in logic and I'm not performing all the parts "live" while recording, how do I get the articulation changes to stay in place, so that I can have a violin play staccato, legato, and pizzicato all in one track, without having to manually hit the keyswitches to change the articulations while the track is playing? obviously I can't do this while bouncing, or with multiple tracks at once, so how to you create a single track with multiple articulations in Vienna, plug it into a Logic Track, and have it playback with the changes in articulations, without having to manually change it.
Any ideas?
I have a lot of multi track orchestral projects composed using logic instruments, but I want to get all those over to Vienna Instruments as well. What would be the easiest way to do this, with consideration to my above question concerning one track for multiple articulations of an instrument?

Loading multiple physical records into a logical record

Hello,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this thread.
I have to import data from a fixed length positioned text file into a oracle table using sql loader.
My sample input file (which has 3 columns) looks like:
Col1 Col2 Col3
1 A abcdefgh
1 A ijklmnop
1 A pqrstuv
1 B abcdefgh
1 B ijklmn
2 A abcdefgh
3 C hello
3 C world
The above text file should be loaded into the table as:
Col1 Col2 Col3
1 A abcdefghijklmnpqrstuv
1 B abcdefghijklmn
2 A abcdefgh
3 C helloworld
My question: Is there a way tht i can use the logic of loading multiple physical records into a logical record in my oracle tables. Please suggest.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Kulash,
Thanks for your reply.
The order of the concatenated strings is important as the whole text is split into several physical records in the flat file and has to be combined into 1 record in Oracle table.
My scenario is we get these fixed length input files from mainframes on a daily basis and this data needs to be loaded into a oracle table for reporting purpose. It needs to be automated.
Am still confused whether to use external table or a staging table using sql loader. Please advise with more clarity as am a beginner in sql loader. Thanks.I still think an external table would be better.
You can create the external table like this:
CREATE TABLE     fubar_external
(      col1     NUMBER (2)
,      col2     VARCHAR2 (2)
,      col3     VARCHAR2 (50)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
(       TYPE             ORACLE_LOADER
     DEFAULT DIRECTORY XYZ_DIR
     ACCESS PARAMETERS (
                             RECORDS DELIMITED BY     NEWLINE
                      FIELDS (   col1        POSITION (1:2)
                                  ,   col2        POSITION (3:4)
                           ,   col3        POSITION (5:54)
     LOCATION        ('fubar.txt')
);where XYZ_DIR is the Oracle Directory on the database server's file system, and fubar.txt is the name of the file on that directory. Every day, when you get new data, just overwrite fubar.txt. Whenever you query the table, Oracle will read the file that's currently on that directory. You don't have to drop and re-create the table every day.
Note that the way you specify the columns is similar to how you do it in SQL*Loader, but the SEQUENCE generator doesn't work in external files; use ROWNUM instead.
Do you need to populate a table with the concatenated col3's, or do you just need to display them in a query?
Either way, you can reference the external table the same way you would reference a regular, internal table.

IC-AX412 MP3 recorder: can't "access" M2 card

IC-AX412 MP3 recorder: can't "access" M2 card. That about says it all. The recorder works fine until I insert the Sandisk 8GB M2 card, at which point everything stops and the message "Accessing" appears on the display, won't go away, and I have to shut down the recorder and take out hte batteries. AND there is no way to UN-write-protect a Sandsk M2 card. How do I find out where th problem is?

Thank you for the prompt reply. I finally figured it out. The problem isn't the card or the recorder; It's Sony's moronic refusaal to accommodate Apple computers. I'm on a Mac. Does the software that came with the IC recorder run on any non-Windows computer? No, it does not, although the tech I chatted with on your website was unaware of that fact. He was unaware that any app with a name ending in ".exe" won't run on a non-Windows computer.
The card was brand new and unformatted. I inserted it, got the results I described and didn't know what to do, So I read the manual and found the note about formatting the card using the recorder. That claearly was a non-starter, so I plugged the recorder with the card still in it into the Mac. Both card and recorder appeared onscreen as individual volumes. I opened the Mac Disk Utility and formatted both of them. Problem solved. Redorder now recognizes card.
Thanks for all your help, guys.

Exporting files from triton le into garage / logic exp

greetings... i'm all over the net, seeking enlightenment, as concerns exporting midi files from a '95 triton-le (no usb), into garage / logic-exp...... slow going it is, & the "one-to-one" sessions, have thus-far, proven somewot of a bust...
i've no interest in the triton's audio (yikes), merely the appropo export of midi-files, into the MBP...
can anyone point-me in the right direction?
thx

can anyone point-me in the right direction?
Doesn't Nashville lies to the southeast?
However: Did you establish a MIDI connection between your Triton and your Mac? And - if your Triton can send it's MIDI on different channels, you could enable the "auto demix by channel" function in Logic to trigger different tracks depending on the channel (usually, drums are on 10 and so on...). In the default setting, Logic will receive MIDI on all channels.
Doing so (auto demix), You can record multiple MIDI channels at once depending on the MIDI channel. Then add the correct software instruments to have nice Logic sounds.
However, Garageband will not record multiple MIDI channels this way.

Converting wma's into mp3s

Hi,
I have a Zen Xtra with about a third of my files as mp3s and the rest in wma format. I've tried converting the remaining wma's into mp3s using Creatuve Media Source but it says that 'file conversion is not supported.' Even though its not necessary to turn my wma files into mp3s, I would still prefer all the files to be of the same format. Can anyone help me out? Do I need to download an update of Creative Media Source?
Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Try updating to the latest version of MediaSource, 3.30.2, from this site.
DRM stands for "digital rights management"; it's most commonly used on files downloaded from legal download services. However, some versions of WMP add DRM restrictions to ripped music, which may block certain actions. In WMP 0, choose Tools > Options, then the Rip Music tab; make sure the "Copy protect music" box is NOT checked. (It's unchecked by default in WMP 0, but was checked by default in some earlier versions of WMP.) If it is checked, uncheck it, then re-rip the CDs.

Urgent How to convert wav files into mp3?

Can anyone plz tell me how can i convert wav file into mp3 using JMF? tell me any sample programme, any method in JMF........ help me plz

Examples could be found on the JMF Solutions page.
Only I can say about mp3 through network - it's hardly possible. I recommend GSM for compression2transmit. It could be used via GSM content descriptor. I'm not sure, but I suppose MP3 is supported only for files, there's no MP3.RTP or such (if you want to transmit files, it should not cause any problems).
About JavaSound - it does not matter... You still need JMF to be installed on Client, and AppletCapture to be enabled. Futrher - would it be DirectSound, JavaSound, or anything else - just the deal of JMF.
I tried to use JavaSound capture with proceeding AudioInputStream to JMF, but failed to do this.
About your problem - best solution seems like that:
capture sound
put it into processor
set format to GSM
transmit
so then, server receives it and formats it as it likes.
If you want to transmit exactly files, you should use just some of pure java after capturing. java.net, or such thing.
