Editing and Exporting Audio Track Only

Is it possible to just edit and export the audio track from a project that contains video and audio? I turned off the video track, and was able to make edits on the audio track but when I export the edited audio track entire unedited audio track is exported.

That did it. I didn't have the audio timeline material selected as the active window.
Many thanks.

No output from recorded audio tracks, only midi tracks..please help

I've been working on a song in Garageband and suddenly lost audio from real instruments and can only hear the midi from last night until today. It consists of 3 midi tracks and 9 audio tracks. I have software plugins or FX on almost all 9 tracks with amplitube or similar. Things are slow as the arrow is red at the top, however last night I was able to still make changes - slowly. I was able to do a mixdown and export to mp3. Then I shut the computer down. Today I open up Garageband and can only hear the midi tracks of my song however other songs I have work totally fine. Nothing is muted and I've checked everything. Levels meters are moving on all the tracks, I can just feintly hear one guitar track. This is frustrating. I even tried locking half of the tracks and still nothing. I've rebooted etc and same
I'm running Lion with a TC Konnekt 8 sound module, on a 2.4 core duo 2 MBP with 4 GB of ram

I ran onyx and did a clean up etc then rebooted, loaded GB and same problems. I turned on the ducking thing, everything looked ok and then once I hit play everything worked again. I've turned off ducking and it still works. Could this be a glitch as I've never enabled it before

Audio tracks only playing the reverb portion

I'm having an issue with recorded audio tracks not getting played through the output properly. The only audio that I hear is related to the reverb effect on the track. I have been working on this project for a few days and it just started happening this morning. Everything was working fine before I saved it last night.
Example - I have a vocal track. I see via the track mixer the audio is playing but I barely hear any sound. I just hear reverb. If I turn the reverb plugin off (Im using the default GB reverb), I don't hear any audio. It's as if there is a hidden "send" track for the reverb, and the audio track is getting routed to the send track, but not the master track. That's why I only hear the reverb. Since the GB interface is so simple, I don't see a way to edit this or even check it. It's just my guess based on using other DAWs.
If I create a brand new track and drag the audio from "the bad track" - the audio plays. I have to re-add all the plugins I was using to the new track, which is annoying, but at least I have a workaround. I just don't understand how this happened. I seriously did nothing in between the time it worked and it stopped. Last night, everything was good. I hit save and closed. Then this morning I woke up to resume my work, and nothing was playing.
If anyone has a solution for this, please let me know. Mixing is already a time consuming process. I don't need to add more time to the process.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Chris
I'm using Garageband 08 - Version 4.1.2

Since this was pointed out, I've left the "ducking" section as viewable. I just noticed that when I dragged a new .aif file into a new track, it triggered all of the other tracks ducking to be enabled - upwards. The yellow arrow. The new track was ducked under, downwards, or blue arrow.
I'll continue to keep an eye on it for any other patterns.

MP4 - anamorph flag and multiple audio tracks

So far Quicktime simply ignores the anamorph flag in mp4 video files, making it impossible to backup dvds and converting them for appletv without a very significant loss in resolution and quality. Will there be an update for this issue soon or is it simply not wanted to allow best possible backups? I know the workarround with the quicktime reference movie, but why not implement the mp4 specs correctly and make it all easier for us?
What about MP4 videos with multiple audio tracks. I'd like to keep english and german audio tracks of my DVDs when converting to appletv. As far as i know appletv doesn't allow a selection of the audio track. Workarround with Quicktime Reference Movie works here es well, saving two Reference Movies with only one audio track enabled, but why not make it easy for us consumers and allow audio track selection on appletv. Will there be an Update?
Hope to get some answers.

modelone,
Thanks for your post. I have been experiencing the same problem of not being able to pass-through export an MP4 file that was encoded with CE-Quicktime profile.
Your post helped me to discover a workaround that will allow you to set the proper width of an MP4 file that is encoded with CE-Quicktime profile. This method does not require Quicktime Pro, and the corrected file plays properly in Quicktime and Apple TV.
First, encode the MP4 file using CE-Quicktime profile. Then, open Dumpster and drag the MP4 file into it. Navigate to 'moov', then 'trak', then 'tkhd', then select 'Matrix [a b u]'. There are 3 hexadecimal values for this key. The first number is the transformation matrix that Quicktime and Apple TV uses to determine the correct display aspect. This is the value that is multiplied to the encoded horizontal resolution to derive the horizontal display resolution. For e.g. if the encoded resolution is 720 x 576 and you want it to play back in 1024 x 576, the matrix value is 1024/720 = 1.4222. Change that first number to this correct hexadecimal fractional value and click 'Apply'.
The patched MP4 file will now play back in correct aspect ratio in Quicktime and Apple TV.
Hope this helps!

Any Complete Tutorials On How To Edit And Export MIDI Files In GB?

Hi. A friend sent me about 25 nice standard MIDI files that all open fine in QT Pro. She wants me to drag and drop them into GarageBand 2, attempt to edit them, change sounds and then export them out as the edited versions, key changes, added bars, change instrument sounds, etc,. Although I'm a trained musician who understands form, I really don't have a clue on how to use GB to edit and export standard MIDI files. Can this be done effectively in GB ver 2 or 3?
Basically what she then wants to do is take the edited MIDI tracks, put them into itunes I guess on her iBook G4 or Ipod and do a solo act playing her keyboard live and usibg the MIDI tracks as background.
Are there any links to step by step tutorials on how I can lerarn this procedure? Please offer any advice and links if you can and thanks for your help

Not really practical, I'm afraid. Capturing screenshots and cutting them up is possible with Photoshop, but PDF editing is very limited (fix a typo, move a picture).

How to apply same editing to further audio tracks...

Hello all,
i've just made a very complicated sync between a video and audio track within an FCS project.
The video was untouched and i edited the stereo audio track.
Now i would like to apply the same editing to the .ac3 version of the just edited stereo version.
There is a way to do that without remake manually the full work on the ac3 version?
Many many Big Thanks in advance

You might (and I emphasize might) be able to do this by making a duplicate of your sequence, selecting the audio clips in the timeline and making them independent and the reconnecting them to your new audio clips. Probably need to duplicate the audio tracks for each new audio element of the 5:1. Things could get screwed up, so make sure you have your project backed up. Might be simplest just to match your edits.

Cutting and pasting audio tracks?

Im working with mpeg-1 files that have been converted with mpegStreamclip, everythings working great, but i haven't figured out how to cut and paste audio tracks in the timeline. I am trying to copy and use sound extracted from the muxed mpeg. I want to add this ambient sound to run under stills. Any suggestions?

Hi Susan
1. Set TimeLine to audio edit = three tracks.
2. Is there audio on track two or three ? If not. Select clip with needed sound. Advance menu/Extract sound.
3. Now there is a sound portion under the selected clip. Click anywhere (un-select) and now select
the audio portion.
4. Move the Playhead (line witrh yellow triange in top) where You want Your cut in the audio clip.
5. cmd-T [apple-key + T] = a Cut
6. Move the portion in under a still (or make a copy first and move that-one)

Copying audio tracks only

I have a clip that the associated sound needs to be doubled, it's pretty faint... I need to get a higher volume level than what is available on the clip.
I'd like to try "doubling" that particular clips' audio, but can't seem to figure out a way to bring another copy of the audio.
When I try using option-drag, it re-arranges everything in the timeline. I've tried locking certain areas down, but no avail.
I tried bringing in the same clip (audio + video), and then deleting the video and using the audio, but it only brought in the video and not the audio... Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed

Does adobe Premiere Pro CC edit and export 4k and higher video resolutions?

Hey Guys I am new the forum but have been using adobe products for years. I am having some problems finding if Adobe Premiere Pro CC effectively lets you edit and export video at 4k and higher. I am having a custom built computer to specifically handle high resolution output and video editing. I have a 5k monitor to go with it as we;;. Long story short is I need to make sure I can edit and export at full resolution. I am not interested in compressing the video output to 1080P from a 4k video input source. It would be a shame if I have to learn a completely new software program for my business because I have loved previous versions of the adobe premiere pro. any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I am expected to get my custom build back this afternoon. Thanks in advance for any help provided!

I have a sony hdr td 20ve 3d video camera. Is it possible to import into iMovie 11, edit and export in 3D? I have an iMac 2008 model running Lion 10.7.4

Is it possible to import 3d from the Sony 3D videocamera,model HDR TD 20VE into iMovie 11, edit and export the files to iDVD and produce a disc that plays on a 3d compatible DVD player?

Yes, you can purchase Lion as well as iPhoto and iMovie from the App Store. But before you can do that you must update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 by installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 update. Then you can sign into the App Store with your Apple ID and password, locate the items you want, purchase them, and download them to your computer.

Can You Edit And Export 60 fps Video With iMovie 10.0.5?

So the new iPhone 6 and 6 Plus let you shoot video at 60 fps, right?
Well, my question is, can iMovie 10.0.5 for the Mac let you actually edit and export this video, maintaining its 60 fps frame rate?

I posted what I found to this thread iMovie 11 10.14 Exporting a 60fps file to Maverick?
Hope you find it helpful.

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.

Premiere Elements 13 (not Pro), recorded a video with mono mic input (left channel only), need to create 2-channel (left and right) audio track for finished product. Help?

The question says it all. I have been all over the tutorials as well as the menus inside Premiere 13 and cannot find how to edit the audio track beyond basic balance, volume, etc.
I can see the Audio 1 track, shows audio in left channel only, but it will not respond to attempts to select, cut/copy, paste, etc.
Basically I just want to turn one-channel audio into two-channel audio.

Sure you do not want to give the Fill Left and Fill Right another try?
According to the Adobe document Adobe Premiere Elements Help | Effects reference
Fill Left, Fill Right
The Fill Left effect duplicates the left channel information of the audio clip and places it in the right channel, discarding the original clip’s right channel information. The Fill Right effect duplicates the right channel information and places it in the left channel, discarding the existing left channel information. For example, you might use this effect on footage shot with a monaural microphone plugged into only one channel of a camcorder, extending the voice of a speaker from one channel to both.
From what you wrote, your Premiere Pro video seems to be saying the same.
If that Premiere Elements Fill Left or Fill Right is no go, you might want to explore what you can do in this regard using the free audio editor Audacity.
Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
And, then import the Audacity edited audio back into Premiere Elements project as source media.
Is the speaker system OK?
We will be watching for your results.
Thanks for the follow up.

Two video and audio tracks, only need one audio

Question- I recorded an event- about two hours long. I used two cameras from two different angles. The main camera has the worst audio whereas camera two is best. I want to use the audio from the camera 2. I know how to do this by syncing them up, "turning" down the video from cam 2 and turning down audio from cam 1, BUT here are my questions:
1- I want to make sure the video fits on a 4GB DVD when project is finished. Will the size of the project double because I have two videos on the same timeline? If yes, is there a way to delete the video or portions of from one camera to save on the size of the overall project after converting to Quicktime?
Thanks to anyone who responds!!

Will the size of the project double because I have two videos on the same timeline?
No. It all gets rendered to a single video track.
Whether your finished product fits on a DVD has to do with the running time. Two hours will fit easily.
Your Final Cut Pro master file could be 300 GB for example, it all gets transcoded to MPEG2 video and ac3 audio for the DVD.
