Combining AIFF files

I'm curious since I only really use Soundtrack Pro for audio, how you would string together a series of songs, or videos. Assuming that you have quite a large batch like an album. Talking in terms of Pro quality here not that combining the Au lowpass with Hijack Pro isn't helpful; but seriously all that proves is that Nyquist wasn't fooling about the dangers of aliasing.

Hi muzak.
I found your posting via Google. I'm also looking for a solution. I'm combining AIFF's in QuickTime with the old Copy-Paste method. I can't believe there's not an app to automatically do this. I know QuickTime can combine still images (File>Open Image Sequence...) to create a movie. You simply place them in a folder and number them sequentially. So I'm wondering why there isn't an 'Open Audio Sequence...' command. : (
I'm going to see if I can create a script for this. It's been a while since I've dabbled in AppleScript, so wish me luck.
BTW - Let me know if you've heard of anything to make this easier.

How do you convert aiff files to aac and keep them organized in new folders

I have spent several hours trying to figure out how to convert my thousands of aiff files to aac files. I want to keept the originals and have the new aac files created and then stored in a file system identical but separate to the one that stores the aiff files. Will itunes do this or is there another program that will?
Thanks,
Jeremy

You can override iTunes' preferences setting to keep your music organized, but then it is off for everything you do. If you have this preference set then iTunes keeps your music organized the way it wants to.
I suppose another way would be to use a third party converter such as Max or XLD to convert the files to AAC separately. I then believe if you drag the files to iTunes while holding down the option key (not 100% sure if that's the key combination) it will not copy them to the iTunes folder but leave them where you have them. If you have iTunes set to organize your music and do the conversion inside of iTunes it will want to have its way.

Garageband erased all aiff files of recordings made!!!

Hi there,
I spent a few hours on garageband simply recording some audio over the internal mic. Some of it I recorded normally, some in loop mode. Then I edited it, cut out what I didn't want and also deleted whole tracks with some audio on it. After all the editing I had around 6 tracks with mainly short audio loops in it (made from these recordings earlier on).
I then saved the project. Then quit. Then put my computer to sleep.
3 minutes later I woke it up again, opened the same file in Garageband I'd previously been working on. Then all I got were error messages telling me one after the other, that all the aiff-files from the various recordings could not be found. I tried the "search" button, but that never found anything.
I opened the file and all my loops were there in form, but the audio was not there, i.e. couldn't play any of it.
I opened the package contents of the GB file and the media folder was empty. The file's size is 1.1MB.
This seems to be a huge bug. This has never happened to me before. It was the first time using Garageband on Snow Leopard. And possibly the first time using Garageband 09 at all (I've used older versions frequently).
Has noone else had this happen? It makes me nervous ****. I'd have to save, quit and reopen all the time to make sure the audio data is still there.
Looking forward to your comments.

Hey there Alphaspin,
Sorry to hear you had the same thing happen to you.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME I'm very happy to see someone confirm my problem. It's a first step on the way to freeing that poor little bug from GB, I'm assuming. (you hear that, Apple? Don't be too vicious with the poor thing. It's not its fault!)
As a note to various people above who were hypothesizing my failure to save the file properly.
I understand your scepticism, but think about this. If I hadn't saved the file properly (before quitting - as I remember well - or during the quitting process), why would all the loops still be shown in my tracks in the Garageband file? I don't see how that could possibly happen if the file wasn't in some way "saved".
What I see in the file I referenced in my first post, is everything exactly in the state I left it when I quit it, except for all the loops not playing because GB can't find the original aiff files in it's project file any more (because they've apparently been deleted during the quitting process).
Anyhow, I hope more people will find this post and confirm our experiences. Probably they won't find it before the ** hits the fan, unfortunately. It's all a learning experience as always. Just in this case backing up doesn't help diddly-squat. You can seemingly save it to as many HDs as you wish - if GB deletes the aiff files in the project, they're lost in multiple places at once
morale of the story: I will not use GB until I see this addressed and fixed and I can test it with some post-modern classical junk music. (because I don't feel like going back to leopard - which might fix the problem for the moment).

Hello djensen1x,
Could you please let me know what version of Acrobat are you using.
Also, tell me your workflow of combining those PDF files?
Please share the screenshot of the error message that you get.
Hope to get your response.

Good day, I have installed Acrobat DC, and would like to combine 2 files. One is excel allready converted to PDF - No problem. The other one is from Pastel mailed as PDF.

Good day,

When trying to merge the files, this file ask for a Password. No password was issued from the setup or mail?

Good day abrieb93050306,
I can understand your concern, however can you please let me know that are you able to open both the PDF files ( the one you converted form excel to pdf & the other pdf that was mailed to you ) individually without using any password?
As it asks for the password, it means that the postal mailed PDF is password protected. You can ask for the password from the sender of the postal mail & then try to combine the files.
Please follow the steps in the provided KB doc.to combine the files : Combine files into single PDF | Adobe Acrobat DC tutorials
This will probably resolve your issue.
Let me know if you still experience any issue.

Can you use iTunes match and not get duplicates if you maintain mp3s and aiffs files of the same song in either the same or separate libraries?

I maintain a collection of aiff files and mp3 files of the same music.
Aiff for home listening and Mp3 for my devices.
I can arrange these in the same or seperate libraires.
Will "itunes match" duplicate the songs in the cloud if they in the same or seperate libraies on the same mac?
If not, is anyone aware of how to manage seperate Mp3 and Aiff libraries so as not to get duplicates in itune match?
All assistance is appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello mracole,
I checked my "purchases" and the 7/19/13 purchases don't show up. However, the earlier versions from usually several years back...the ones that are Matched...often do show up in my Purchases. I suspect that somehow those REALLY purchased several year old versions were deleted and redownloaded by me so I could change them to the 256 kbps versions under iTunes Match. They were probably 128 kbps versions originally when purchased.
Why the earlier versions that were really purchased are now identified as Matched is puzzling.
Why I now have Purchased versions from 7/19/13 is puzzling too...especially since these versions do NOT show up in my purchases.
Calling Apple Support if a good idea unless someone can explain this mystery. I might even take one of my laptops to the Apple store and show a Genius.
Thank you very much for taking the time to respond, Mr. Luigi

How can I extract only the audio as an aiff file?

Using a Sony DSC-N2 Cybershot Camera I recorded video that was saved as “MOV01606.MPG”. The video plays back with sound in Quicktime Pro and iTunes but how can I extract only the audio as an aiff file?

Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to convert your .mpg files to QuickTime formats.
QuickTime can't extract audio from muxed file formats.

How do I move aiff files from the viewer to the timeline-it is not working when I try to drag and click or clicking on overwrite or insert in Final Cut Pro 7. Thanks

How do I move aiff files from the viewer to the timeline-it is not working when I click and drag or when I try to move the files to the overwrite or insert buttons-Thanks.

hi
You cannot move audio from the viewer
Mark your in and out points then in the browser grab hold of the audio tracks icon and drag that to the time line

How can I convert an AiFF File to a Wav file?

How can I convert an AiFF File to a Wav file?
Any free software out there? or can iTunes or Quicktime perform this task?
-D

or can iTunes or Quicktime perform this task?
Yes to both.
In Quicktime Export -> Export Sound to Wave
In iTunes, check your preferences for General>Import and then right click on the file to convert to WAV
Also STP can do that.
Double click the file to open it in the File Editor and Save as, then select Wave as the filetype.

Hiding filenames when combining multiple files into a single .pdf

I'm fairly new to this Acrobat X. I'm trying to assemble my portfolio to distribute to employers but I cannot seem to get rid/hide the filenames in the final pdf file. I was using the option to 'combine multiple files into a single pdf' because I was compiling images and documents to a single readable pdf file. I got all that done but once I open it, I'd see that each page would still contain the original file names rather than page numbers - which I prefer not to have employers see for the sake of tidiness (and I refuse to use the Adobe portfolio because it's not really efficient on space or design. I prefer a simple page-by-page pdf). So I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to hide my file names, change them into page numbers or getting rid of them all together so the 'Table of Contents' in the pdf preview mode would not show anything, I would really much appreciate it.
-Ss

Well, when the .pdf is in the final, deliverable form; I open it in Mac preview mode and the sidebar is always extended showing a 'table of contents' rather than having each document in the pdf file have a number designating a page name, it shows each individual filename the pdf is composed of. Not too sure about bookmark, though. Thanks for the reply!
If you want, I can send the file to you.

HT3847 How is the best way to separate copied MP3 from AIFF files in my library?

Zice wrote:
I want higher resolution then afforded in the original download.
Then why are you converting iTunes purchases?
You cannot get higher resolution by converting the original. This goes for converting anything, not just iTunes purchases.
Creating an AIFF will simply make the file 10 time as large with zero increase in quality.
Don't really want to debate value of creating the new version.
Agreed.
You are simply wasting time and drive space converting iTunes purchases to AIFF.

Want to delete 1gb AIFF files from TimeMachine

I've got old audio tapes and record albums (that I purchased and own) which have never come out on CD and I can't buy them legally on-line. I'm importing into iTunes using Toast Titanium 9's Spin Doctor, my old component take deck, and my Roland EDIROL UA-20 USB Audio/MIDI capture device which creates files that are greater than 800mb AIFF files per side of tape.
I can NOT set it to a lower quality rate when using the EDIROL UA-20. I bought one of the iMics from Griffin Technologies but have not successfully been able to get that to work correctly and gave up on it for now.
I import them into iTunes. Use iTunes to convert them to AAC with in 64 kbps which shrinks it down to about 20 to 30mbs. Then I delete the AIFF files from iTunes BUT, I forget about Time Machine and it backs up the AIFF which I don't want it to back up.
How do I go in there without messing things up, and delete those files? The best way for me to find them if there is some way to search a specific folder and sub folders (how do I get there and how to I search?) for AIFF files? And also files greater than 500mb.

To be clear, I want to be able to delete these files from the Time Machine backup.

Is it possible to convert to an AIFF file in itunes 10 and beyond, and if so what is the procedure?

Hello. Is it possible to convert to an AIFF file in itunes 10 and beyond, and if so what is the procedure?
I use FCP7 and often have a sound loop or the like that I need in AIFF format, I normally use itunes to do the conversion, but have heard that version 10 no longer performs this task...?
Thx for the help!

It still works the same as in past releases. Go to Edit > Preferences > Import Settings, and set "Import Using" to "AIFF Encoder," and then the option will be available. Consult this document for details:

Acrobat XI Pro: Text boxes empty after combining PDF files

I have a user when she combines a few documents only one document is missing some text in text boxes that were showing up before. Here is a screen shot of the two files:
The document on the left is what occurs after the files have been combined, the document on the right is the original document. I spoke with tech support, they told me to take the original pdf document then print it to the adobe pdf printer and select the option to print it as an image. Then when we combined the files it was working fine. I also took the original Excel 2010 document that the right document in the image came from, printed that to the Adobe PDF printer and made sure it printed it as an image. Then after combining them it worked once more. My problem is the user didn't have to print the excel doc to an image, she would just have to click on the Acrobat tab in Excel and tell it to create a pdf doc. So is there a setting I'm missing?

I tried uninstalled Acrobat XI and installed Acrobat X but the problem still exists. I spoke with my user some more and found that if she leaves out one of the documents from the combining process this issue does not occur. So either this is a font incompatibility or that document that was left out is corrupt. Any thoughts?

Merge and Combine PDF files in a numerical order

Greetings!
I'm using Adobe Acrobat to create a photo LookBook or an eBook. I'm importing and merging straight from .JPEG's and Acrobat work's great. The JPEG's are sorted by capture date, renamed and numbered as such: "10_File.Name.jpg". However, once I attempt to merge over 100 files I noticed that the numerical order of the file names is wrong. You'll notice in the example below that when viewed by name, the three digit numbers begin after 10. Well, in this example it's twelve. This affects to page order of the combined .PDF file. How can I maintain consistent name order to avoid assembling the finished ebook by implementing two workflow steps. Meaning the first step to combine the double digit numbers, then the second step to combine the three digit numbers. What can I do to resolve this issue?
Greatly appreciated!

Try it with a leading zero ( 003_, 007_, 008_, 010_, 011_, and 012_ ).
Be well...
