Convert Amp sim VST/AU to Audio Track.

Can I convert a guitar track using either built in logic X amp sims or another brand i.e Amplitube to an Audio track so I can save CPU power when I'm done with the track?
I remember I could do something like this in Cubase, obviously I cant change the sound ( If youve ever used amp sims thats one of the great parts is you can play along as a Marshall then change it later to a Mesa ) once converted but thats the point is too save CPU power so I can keep making more tracks?
Thanks a bunch in advance to any help
S

Ok so heres some screenshots to show you where im at, if im confusing my point or If im doing it wrong. I got 8 mic'd drums in a stack and i just recorded some quick audio on my laptop without my usual interface ( NI RigKontrol ) so I dont know if that makes a differance.
The two shots are what options I get when I right click.
And when I bounce in place and then what it does.
When I play it back I get no sound...Do I need to select the section, have record enabled on/off or could it have something to do with it being an AU?.
Not to sound condisending but just so we're clear in cubase 4 when I had it I could record a track with guitar-rig and any other VST I had on the channel, Then when I was done turn it into an Audio track that was un-doable and I could go and use guitar-rig again on a new channel and stil hear the other track/s so cpu load was always minimal. Thats what I'm hopeing to do.
thanks again

  • TS5459 How do you get vocals from an ext mike/amp to record onto an audio track?

    How do you get vocals (from an ext mike/amp setup to record decently onto an audio track? I had no problems doing this with my 2008 IMAC & Logic Pro  Studio 8, but can't seem to do it with my new IMAC & Logic X. Very frustrating.

        The Korg 1600 doesn't seem to have a USB connection. It does have S/P DIF "IN" & "OUT", (which I have never used) and a SCSI site. With my older system, I had the IMAC 1st jack go directly to the Peavey or sometimes to one of the 8 imputs on the KORG 1600......so whatever I had prepared on LOGIC &/or ITUNES would play out. The 2nd IMAC jack connected to the  MASTER OUT jacks on the back of the KORG 1600. The KORG 1600 acted as an interface. Vocals via microphone, or guitar, or instruments from the Triton Synthesizer went into the 1600 & recorded onto the Logic project  Also on the back of the KORG 1600 was   MONITOR "RT & LT"  output jacks that are connected to my Peavy mixer that in turn plays out through speakers.
        The Logic Preferences/Audio is as follows:        Devices is highlighted
                                                                              Output device: ;Built-in output
                                                                              Input device: Built-in microphone
                                                                              I/O buffer size: 128
       Thank you for trying to help me with this and for your patience. . (I'm good with music & other things, but not with computers.)

  • When i try to upload a .mts file from my Sony camera to Premiere Pro CC it refuses to play the audio! Ofcourse i could convert every single clip but it takes tons of time. How can i make Pr play audio track properly?

    Does it not play at all or cannot you get the audio in the timeline?
    Did you copy the entire card to the hdd and then imported the file via the Media Browser?
    Did you source patch the audio tracks?

  • Convert MIDI tracks into Audio tracks

    I started to convert the MIDI tracks in my project to Audio tracks. Unfortunately the input audio signal is very weak. Is this normal for a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro ? Anyway, working with that weak signal I raised the signal level using the Play Control of my Sound card. As a result I got an awful noise in the monitors. I canceled the action but the noise didn't stop. Now as a result I have a permanent noise coming from my Sound Blaster Play control. I found that the CD Digital output of the Play Control produced that noise. I muted that output and the noise disappeared. But I can't use the CD Digital output of my Sound Blaster. Is that a software or a hardware problem?
    Any suggestion and help is welcome.
    Tzarvulko

    No, weak MIDI conversion to audio isn't normal. Can you give more detail as to how you are going about said conversion?
    You probably don't have anything attached to the CD Digital input, unconnected inputs can pick up noise, and in fooling around with the play control you likely enabled that input (or just turned up the volume of your analog inputs). Muting unconnected inputs is a good thing to do; to some extent so is muting inputs you're not using at the moment.

  • What is the differnce between Blue,Purple and Orange Audio Tracks. Can you convert either to Green Midi Track?

    What is the differnce between Blue,Purple and Orange Audio Tracks. Can you convert either to Green Midi Track?

    Are you asking about Garageband? Your signature also mentions Logic, but I have never worked with that.
    Concerning Garageband:
    Real Instrument regions from your recordings are purple.
    Real Instrument regions from Apple Loops are blue.
    Regions from imported audio files are orange.
    Software Instrument regions from recordings, loops, and imported MIDI files are green.
    So far as I know you can convert software instrument loops to real instrument loops, but not real instrument loops to software instrument loops.

  • Which app can convert TWO audio tracks - MXF files to FCPX?

    Help help help,
    I need to convert TWO audio tracks along with my video files from my Canon XF100 - to edit in FCPX. All the apps I seem to find are only able to convert one audiotrack. I have audio from both microphone and microport, so one is not enough. Furthermore it must be a pro tool, so I don't loose imagequality.
    Can anyone help me please?
    Thanks in advance!
    Lisa, DK

    Hi Tom,
    Thx so much - but its not fcpx, but The converter - fcpx can't read MXF files, so they must be converted - The problem is to find A tool to convert both tracks

  • Using guitar amp sims live onstage... requesting your feedback

    I know this is mainly a recording forum, but I expect a few of you out there are using amp sims live. So I've about a dozen gigs now and it's been OK for the most part. I also use Logic to run backing tracks, and I've been using different amp sim plug-ins on live guitar tracks to test them out and see what works best. For the most part I'm using Guitar Amp Pro, but I'm also trying Amplitube 2 and Guitar Rig 3. In general, I've had comments from FOH audio techs saying that my tones are pretty good, but there's always seems to be a bit of harshness and thinness in the tone that is not apparent in my headphones at home, and if anything I tend to reduce the treble and presence in all my patches, below that of the factory presets anyway.
    I mainly play through the monitor systems at gigs, and am looking at different in-ear options, but last weekend I played a venue with limited on-stage monitor capabilities, so I made provisions on my own. I split off the stereo signal coming out of my Firebox interface and went into a little Mackie 1202 mixer, then into a Crest stereo power amp, then into my Vox 4x12 stereo guitar cabinet. You can't run a processed guitar signal back into a regular guitar amp head as this combination sounds like ka-ka, understandably, because the amp sims have already processed what the amp would then process a 2nd time. Anyway, I ran the EQ's on the mixer totally flat, so in effect I was sending the uncolored original sound to the cabinet.
    Surprisingly, in this new configuration my tone was actually very good and "amp-like" sounding. My theory is that the 4x12 cabinet, not having a horn or high frequency driver, naturally removed any high end harshness with it's limited frequency response (it's probably about 8Khz bandwidth I'm guessing). I might have expected my tone to be muffled, so either I'm running too much high end in my patches or what, but it's no wonder that a monitor or FOH loudspeaker system with separate high frequency drivers would sound the way they do. My next thoughts are to maybe test running a low pass filter on the output strips in Logic to roll-off frequencies above 8kHz or so, to limit what gets fed out to the monitors and FOH.
    Another theory about the thin sound is due to the fact that in an amp sim environment on-stage, there really isn't any air moving speakers like in a true mic'd up guitar cabinet on-stage. In terms of amp sim preferences, I find that Guitar Amp Pro is not as detailed or warm as the others, but it can be tweaked for acceptable higher gain tones and some really nice clean tones. I think in general, Amplitube 2 has the fullest fattest tone in some of their amp models, and while Guitar Rig 3 has some really nice models which sound fine in headphones or studio monitors, they seem to sound the thinnest live of the three sims I've tested.
    I know guitar tone is a very personal thing and what sounds good to one person may sound like crud to another, but what generalities and experiences have some of you had? I think we're just on the tip of a revolution in live guitar, what with the new Stomp IO and Rig Kontrol products coming out, just to name a few... Also, how are some of you finding the latency issues that are still hindering this technology to some degree? Many thanks in advance!

    hey thanks for the responses guys! I usually get notified via email when a reply is posted but that didn't happen for this post (?). Anyway, great advice, but in the meantime I've actually managed to make a dramatic improvement in my onstage tone and it was very simple, and logical too. The first rather embarrassing point is that I tried setting up my tones with different sets of headphones and whoa what a difference. One would expect that different headphones will all sound different (as it is with loudspeakers) but the Yamaha headphones I was previously using removed pretty much every bit of high-end harshness that I was hearing on stage through the monitors, so what I thought was a good sound in reality was NOT. With my new BeyerDynamic earbuds (which I will be using as in-ears onstage soon) I heard pretty much exactly the same harshness that the Yamaha's were masking.
    The fix to this was actually pretty simple: in the cabinet simulators of the plug-ins, I simply moved the mic to "off-center" instead of "on centre" where I had the majority of my patches saved as. Other than maybe a little less presence and treble, the tone was instantly 100% better. The funny thing is, from all the live shows I've done I always position the mic off-centre because it sounds better, doh!
    I've played 4 shows since and 3 of them were festival style with great quality monitor rigs and my guitar absolutely rocked when on high gain tones, instead of giving my bandmates and the first few rows in the audience a very close shave The tone was very punchy, fat and "amp-like" and I was even getting some controllable feedback from the wedges. The guys in the band and even some FOH engineers commented that I had great tone so I felt alot better about the whole thing. The other show was a club with cheap monitors and while the sound was nowhere as good, it still was not harsh like before.
    I admit that my overall tone is maybe still not quite as dynamic as it could be and there's a minimal (but almost unnoticeable) amount of latency, but overall it sounds like a guitar should, and I've heard many players with good quality amp rigs that sound much worse. I'm going to continue with my "ampless" crusade (no hard feelings jnashguitar haha!) and as technology improves I'm confident I'll continue to zero in on that elusive holy grail of guitar tone that every guitarist can attest to. That's the thing with guitarists, we think we have achieved the perfect tone, but after a few months we start looking again, but that's what makes it fun, buying new toys, trying new things. Good tone is everywhere!

  • How to change audio track on a flv-video during streaming?

    Hello ,
    I would like to stream a flv-video, but every time with
    different audio-track.
    So how can I change the audio track on a video-stream? Is
    there any server-side solution for this?
    I used to stream the audio on different stream - parallel
    with the video stream -, but because of synchronization problems,
    it didn't work.
    Any idea?
    Thanks

    Thanks for the helpful response.  I'll check out the the options available for shaping the sound with eq, efx and amp sims as you suggest.
    It still would be helpful to know if I change an audio track (.aif file) into a midi track in GarageBand or in some other software so I can change the instrumentation of the track from piano to another instrument.
    Thanks again!

  • Multiclip - mutliple audio tracks

    This question has been asked before, but I'll reiterate it. If the support doesn't exist, hopefully apple dev will take it into consideration.
    I shoot a lot of weddings and events. FCP's 5.0.x multiclip feature has been a lifesaver. I know the short answer to the following question is "get a mixer and do it in the field right the first time," which I'm working on. BUT, in the meanwhile...
    Setup: 3-camera live shoots. We run three different mics: one cam has a wireless lapel mic on the groom; another has a wireless with a directional mic placed at readers' podium/spot; last is an on-camera mic.
    Throughout the event the different mics are better for different sound: lapel mic for vows, directional mic for speakers, on-camera mic for organ and songs.
    My FCP workflow so far has been this (and it could be the problem): export audio to .aiff, tweak it in STP, bring back into FCP, and link it with clip.
    Here's the issue (finally!): Whenever I make these clips a "multiclip," the audio tracks (six in this case) are all automatically mixed together into two tracks in the multi-clip. All my hard work tweaking sound in STP is lost. (Again, might be a workflow issue.)
    Does anyone know how to import the audio tracks, while still linked to the video, into a multiclip (and avoid manual synching in FCP timeline)?
    I know one solution is to bring the separate audio files in and synch them manually in the timeline. But here's hoping someone can suggest something a bit less time-consuming...
    Thanks for any help!

    Thanks for the reply.
    Yes, the audio is set up with six total audio tracks (two per video feed). I'm viewing the clips with "Video & Audio" selected as you described.
    I'm synching clips I've cleaned up in STP manually ... but that's not the issue.
    Here's the issue:
    Pre multiclip files:
    V1 - A1, A2
    V2 - A3, A4
    V3 - A5, A6
    --->convert to multiclip<---
    Post multiclip files:
    Viewer Window: V1, V2, V3 in multiclip config
    Timeline Video: whichever angle I select
    *Timeline Audio* - A1*, A2*
    Going to item properties for the audio tracks shows that A1* is comprised of A1, A3, A5 and A2* is comprised of A2, A4, A6. All the original audio tracks are there in the new multclip audio, just mixed together.
    I want to know if there's a way to separate those audio tracks in the timeline on the mutliclip. I'd like to work with the separate tracks for the best sound rather than the "mixed" audio that multiclip seems to do automatically.

  • How do i get itunes to play in 5.1 on windows, 5.1 works on everything else on my comp, blueray,dvd,games... just not itunes. even though the things i am trying to play have a 5.1 audio track.

    on the files that have multiple audio tracks the option to switch pops up but i am unable to select it.
    i've tried talking to an apple tech at an apple store, independent tech at mac dealer, i have spent countless hours surfing forums, and even managed to talk to some condicending jerk at an apple customer service number"just because you spent a lot of money converting you're media to itunes doesn't mean you get support" i was told "  aslo while in itunes looking at where the option to go 5.1 is i was told" there is nowhere in itunes to set that setting" i'll mention again i had itunes in fullscreen and was looking at the damm option while he said that.
    feeling really ripped off here bought system for media and would have been better off buying dvds
    spent about 3 hours last night surfing forums, took a few hours to find a number at apple where i could talk to a real person just to be brushed off.

    i just tried disabling adblock and checking if i had any no script or noscript sort of addon. i do not have a script killer. disabling adblock did not solve the issue.

  • How do I set up stereo audio tracks as default in Premiere using the ProRes 422 codec?

    Forgive me if this has been asked many times before. I have searched but can't find anything that explains it in language that doesn't require an advanced degree in computer engineering.
    I am a recent convert for our beloved FCP 7. I am learning to love Premiere dearly - but the audio part of it drives me nuts.
    I have exported from FCP a series of files as ProRes 422 movies with stereo audio tracks. I want to bring them into Premiere in the same way. But when I do it squashed everything into a single audio file.
    This plays havoc with the panning - especially in mixes that have stereo music mixes. Apart from that it just confuses me.
    Also. when I create a new project from scratch in Premiere and I select the custom ProRes 422 setting it only allows ProRes 422 mono audio. I don't see a codec for anything else (ie. stereo).
    Am I missing something?
    I have looked in all the preferences areas and can't find anywhere to change this. I just want to be able to import simple, basic two track audio (and have it show up the same)  as I would in FCP, ProTools and the myriad other editing programs I use.
    I also want to be able to set up a basic two track stereo timeline/sequence without having to reinvent the wheel.
    Many thanks for any help and your patience. I am slowly tearing my hair out and spending long periods sitting in the corner hugging my knees and weeping.
    My specs. Preferred editing codec: ProRes 422
    Premiere pro version CS6 (6.05)
    Thanks again.

    Go to the Project Panel, select all clips and rightclick/modify/audio channels.
    Set it to 2 tack and mono.
    When you drop the clip onto the timeline the stereo will come in on two tracks.
    You can also set this to default in the Preferences under Audio (before importing the clips) (Stereo set to mono).

  • Is it possible to lock an audio track in "record enabled" mode?

    Here's how i write... i set up a drum loop to play for around 20 minutes, then I rec-enable one audio track to record vocals, and then finally, I skip around among hundreds of different midi tracks.
    I just hit the down arrow button, and scroll through dozens and dozens of midi tracks. I quickly hit the keyboard to listen to the sounds. If i like a particular sound, i just want to hit record, and instantly record my vocals along with the midi performance.
    Unfortunately, when i hit record, the vocal/audio track doesn't record. Right at the moment when i find an inspiring sound and hit record, the vocals just don't record.
    I'm forced to scroll miles up the arrange window, to find
    the vocal audio track. It's still blinking the red "rec" button, but this is misleading. It's not actually record enabled. I have to hold down shift, hit it once to turn it off, then hit it again to re-activate record function.
    Only then can i record the midi AND vocals.
    What I want and need is sooooooo simple to offer as a function, yet totally ruinous to my creative flow if it's not possible. (I used to do this easily on the far inferior
    Cubase VST 5.1, OS 9)
    Is there a way to record enable an audio track, so that,
    until I specifically disable the record function, it's
    ALWAYS ready to record the second I hit the record button?
    Even after I've been hitting the down arrow to audition
    various midi channels?
    MacPro 3ghz, 8 gig RAM, 3 raptor drives   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   Logic 7.2.3, Kontakt 2 soft-sampler, RME 400

    I tried to build screensets like you suggested. If I could
    get this to work, I think it would be a great solution, but
    I'm having serious problems.
    I opened a separate mixer, with just the single vocal/audio
    track showing.
    Then I opened the main mixer, which has all the faders.
    If I record-enable a midi track, and then hit the record-enable button on the audio track, the midi track becomes un-enabled. Incredibly frustrating.
    The only way I've been able to do it has been to record-enable the vocal track, and then start recording.
    Only if Logic is actually recording, can i then record-enable the midi track without deactivating the audio
    track.
    A big problem is, that when i click to record enable the
    vocal track, the arrange window jumps all the way up to the
    top, where the audio track is. THen i'm forced to travel
    down, to re-find the midi track.
    You mentioned in your post that the mixer needs to be
    "unlinked". HOw is this done? Will it be possible for
    me to click on the record-enable button on the mixer's audio track without the arrange window jumping to that track?

  • How to change file name of duplicated audio track??????

    I option-clicked-dragged an audio track vertically to create a new track (the manual says to drag the track number but that doesn't seem to work - I dragged the single region). I created a new track name. I then dragged the new track to the right, so the notes are displaced. However, both tracks point to the same file (when I delete some audio in one track, the corresponding audio is automatically deleted in the other track - wrong behavior).
    How do I get the second track to be stored in a new file?
    Thanks

    this is normal behavior, option dragging makes a new region, but it still is using the same audio file.
    to create a new audio file out of the copy you can, from the audio menu in the arrange window choose "Convert regions to new audio files" this will turn it into a new audio file
