Editing Stacked Tracks in LP X

Most of my recording is multitrack orchestral music and all tracks are edited at the same point in time (or in parallel, if you like) so being able to stack up to 24 tracks into one looks very promising. Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to select a range within a stack, then copy and paste that range in such a way that all (24) tracks may then later be routed as individual tracks within the mixer, also is it possible I place two stacks, one above the other, to refine the edit point and Is a waveform shown in the stack track?

1. Indeed, when you move regions, the volume curves don't move with them - you have to do it by hand. It annoys a lot of people.
2. Of yourse you can select all regions and pull them to the left so your song starts at 0:00. But again, the volume curves won't move with them.
To avoid this messing around, I'd suggest you first compose your music segments without volume curves, but with overlapping regions (you can shorten them so they only overlap where you later want to set the fade) and keep pushing them around until they fit your presentation. And do the crossfades only in the end when everything else is perfect.

Dragging multiple media clips into vertically stacked tracks in the timeline? Is it possible?

Hoping that some Adobe Premiere Guru might be able to lend some insight into what seemingly should be a fairly simple thing to accomplish... but despite scouring the web, I can't seem to find a peep of a solution for it.
My neighbor (whom, incidentally, I convinced to go with Premiere CS5.5 as his NLE of choice in the wake of the FCPX uncertainty) is working on a "reality-style" project where they have a massive amount of cameras running simultaniouisly for hour upon hours on end. Think Big Brother House style.
Essentially for each hour of the footage, he is creating a project in which all the multiple camera footage (MOV) from that hour is listed/linked over in the project panel. For example, for HOUR ONE he has the footage from all 20 cameras (or whatever) for hour one listed there.
BASICALLY what he wants to be able to do is grab ALL the footage from those various cameras AT ONCE, DRAG them over to the timeline and when he drops them there, the video (and, inversely, the audio) clips STACK vertically, one on top of the other, each one taking its own track in the timeline.
Currently, of course, when he does this the footage arranges itself in the timeline end to end. In the case of my HOUR ONE, 20 CAMERA example, this basically creates a 20 hour long clip, as oppossed to a one hour clip with 20 tracks, stacked one on top of the other.
As near as we can tell, there's no keyboard shortcut to make this happen. I VAGUELY recall being able to do this in FCP (maybe?) so I'll be stunned and more than just a little bit disappointed to if there isn't SOME way to pull this off in Premeire.
Does anybody have any idea if this mode of automatically dropping clips into the timeline as stacked tracks is possible? It will, quite literally, save him hours and hours of work if he can figure out the secret. And I won't feel quite so guilty for having turned him onto Premiere for this specific project!
And if anyone knows for a fact this is NOT possible, that would be great to know as well. At least we can put the notion to bed one way or another.
Thanks in advance.
Regards, Michael

You can do this with the make multi-camera source sequence command in Premiere Pro CS6 (note that this was posted before CS6 was launched):
Mark the clips
Select the clips
Choose Clip > Create Multi-Camera Source Sequence
Choose the style of synchronization and click OK
Right click on Multi-Camera source sequence and choose > Open in Timeline.
Clips are now stacked up inside of a sequence

I can no longer edit my track/artist/album info.

Normally I would right click ---> Get Info and edit my track or go to File ---> Get Info and do the same.
I am able to get to the point of changing the information, but after I make the changes, I click OK, but they are not reflected in iTunes.
Is there a setting with 7.0 that I need to enable to allow editing? Thanks!

Your iTunes may be corrupted. Try re-installing iTunes 7 and see if that fixes your problem. I have used the function as recent as an hour ago and have not had a problem with editing. I did not have to enable any settings to be able to do so either. I am not sure if there is a setting for that but I assume if there is you would find it under the "Preferences" in one of the tabs.
Good luck!

In trying to edit a track - I want to "Delete and Move" the track to automatically fill the area that I deleted - However, after selecting a section to delete - the "Delete and Move" option is grayed out. How do I fix this?

In trying to edit a track - I want to "Delete and Move" the track to automatically fill the area that I deleted - However, after selecting a section to delete - the "Delete and Move" option is grayed out. How do I fix this?

Thank you for your attempt to help me. I appreciate that.
I think I figured out how to fix it-
I found that if I only delete a small amount at the beginning and at the end of the section that I want to remove - and then highlight that section - Then (and only then) does the "Delete and Move" function work to remove the unwanted section and automatically close the gap between the surrounding sections. I was trying to select a whole section and could only delete it - and then manually move it.
Problem solved.

TS1468 Why can't I edit album track information in the INFO window, and more to the next track without having to do each track seperate?

In iTunes 10, I could edit multiple track information in the (Info) tab and click to move to the next track within that album. Now with iTunes 11.1.3.8, I have to do each track seperate. It will not let me edit track information (as if track numbering), and click next to move to another track within the same album. It's a pain to have to do each song , and then click on the next song I want to edit. My music library is 171 GB (47,185 files & 19,498 folders). I can find the Duplicate files, but I can't edit like I use to in iTunes 10. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreicated!!!!! I will be an old man at the rate I'm going now.

Either select a single track, Get Info, then use the Next/Previous buttons to move between them, or select multiple tracks, Get Info, and edit common properties. The next and previous buttons do not appear in multi-track Get Info (and never have).
Regarding duplicates, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

Is it poss to edit 2 tracks - mic&pickup, simultaneously in sample editor?

(I'm a total novice in Logic so it's easy to blind me with jargon) I've recorded a guitar with mic and pickup and want to be able to see and edit both tracks at the same time in Sample Editor. Any idea how? The manual says:
"If you’re dealing with an interleaved, or half of a “split stereo” file or Audio Region, both
channels/audio files will be displayed in the Sample Edit window, with the left side on
top, and the right side below."
Is there a way of interleaving my 2 tracks so I can do it this way? Or some other way? Many thanks in advance x

set your 2 tracks up the way you want in the stereo field - hard left and right if you want to be able to de-interleave them later....
Make sure everything else is muted.
Bounce the tracks using the bounce feature under the main out fader on logics mixer.
Your bounced track will be an interleaved stereo file which you can edit in the sample editor (as long as you choose interleaved stereo in the bounce dialogue box).

Editing Music Tracks

Hello
I have just starting to play with fcp x. As a long time broadcast editor I thought it was about time to learn it.
I have done a short showreel for a friend which is a great way to learn! I put some pictures down in story order and then put a track of music down to cut too.
I needed to edit the music down to length, but I could find no way to add an in point or out point to the music track, all it did was add the in points to the video (and its audio) track above. In the end I used the razor blade and cut the music where I wanted and then dragged it back to make the edit. Also I could not get the music track into trim mode.. Is this the only way to edit music tracks? Any info would be great.
Thanks a lot
Rob

No need to use the blade tool. Just trim the audio clip by dragging the edge of the clip. With snapping turned on, it will be easy to align the end points.

Editing Voice Tracks in Garage Band

Can you/ how do you edit voice tracks in Garage Band?
In particular, editting out/ deleting pauses in spoken voice tracks.
Is Music Project of Podcasting the best for the spoken word in terms of post production capabilities?
Thanks!

If you are only doing a little voice editing then, as
HangTime says, you can do it reasonably well in Garge
band. However if you have any amount to do you would
find it easier with a proper audio editor. Audacity
is free but flaky: I would recommend spending $25 on
Amadeus II:
http://www.hairersoft.com.
There is also Amadeus Pro which is $40 and has basic
multitrack facilities, but for straightforward
editing Amadeus II will be fine. It can also open and
save in a variety of formats and make use of both
Audio Units and VST plugins.
I do all kinds of voice work, lots of it musical so I like GB.
But I also do voice overs. 30 - 60 sec. commercials, presentaions and the like, so if I can just have some modest editting capability and add jingles I'd like to just stick with GB if possible.
I've only had GB a few days now.
Thanks again.

Export edited audio track in Final Cut Express

Does anyone know how to export an edited audio track as a mp3 without it being a video file using FCE?

Use Export>QuickTime Movie and change the export function to audio only. Take that to iTunes and use it to convert to MP3.

Unable to edit the tracks number

Having updated iTunes 12.01 with Yosemite 10.10.2 I'm unable to edit the tracks number, as I used to do, select a song then get info and edit whatever I want, everything looks fine except the possibility to edit the track number. Any thought?

You can still edit the track number ... it just involves a scrolling action with the new iTunes.
Go to the song's "Get Info" as you used to do. Once you open the "Details" tab, scroll down to reveal the track number which you can edit.

I downloaded Paloma Faith Fall to Grace delux edition. Track 5 Let Me Down Easy doesn't work, can I download it again please?

I have purchased and downloaded Paloma Faith - Fall to Grace delux edition. Track 5 Let Me Down Easy doesn't work. Is there anyway I can down load it again? The rest of the Album works fine.

Delete the faulty track from the iTunes library, allowing iTunes to move the track file to the Trash. Then download the track again from the iTunes Store via this procedure:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
That fixes the problem for many people. If problems with the track persist, go here:
iTunes Support
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

When text editing, the tracker has another person's name instead of mine. How to I correct that?

When text editing, the tracker has different person's name instead of mine. How to I correct that? I'm using iMac Intel Core i3, 3.06 GHz, 4G 1333 MH2 DDR3

Does this problem happen EVERY time you send an email?
Do you see the wrong FROM entry before you hit the send button? Or does the recipient report seeing another name other than yours?
Do you recognize the incorrect name being shown? Is it something you or someone else using your machine have ever used? Is it a name you have never heard of before?
Go to your SENT folder in Apple Mail. What do you see when you open one of your SENT emails, in the FROM slot? Is the name correct or incorrect?
Also, I don't understand your comment "I noticed it when I try to send a link via e-mail to another person." are you saying that when you paste a link into an email to someone that your name in the FROM field changes? Where are you putting the link, in what place in the email?

GB sluggish when editing MIDI track

This is a problem I have not seen until recently. I have a song with about 9 tracks (some MIDI loops). I find that when I start to edit the MIDI loop, the GB slows way down. Takes awhile to catch up. When I close the MIDI editor, all is well. The only system changes I've made is to update to os 10.5.7 and also added wmv to QuickTime. I tried powering down and up but that didn't help. I have 2 GB of memory. Do I need more to fix this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

if it were my project i'd be concerned that there is some kind of corruption of the project's data file and would try rebuilding the stack (least the corruption bites you in the bottom at some future date):

How to edit a track from 60mins to 10mins?

I have a 60min track that I only listen to 10mins out of it.
How do I edit out that part and resave that as a separate file? Thanks.

If you don't want the other 50 minutes, just split the region at the 10 minute point, select the 50 minute region, and hit delete, and it'll be gone. If you ever want it back, just drag the 10 minute region from the middle left to the left and it'll come back. Read in the manual about working with audio regions. It should all be explained there.

Can't edit multiple tracks - plus 2 easy audio questions

I have a sequence with 1 video track and 6 stereo audio tracks. I set an in and an out point. The area on the clips in the timeline between the two edit points highlights, I hit delete. Normally, the tracks between the points should disappear as the two segments come together and form one great edit.
But all the tracks do not highlight and edit. The video track and stereo audio tracks 3+4 and 5+6 highlight and LIFT off. But audio tracks 1+2 do not highlight or edit. And the whole sequence doesn't close together where the edit should be.
Only way I have been able to overcome this is to use the razor blade tool, cut each track individually. Highlight them all, and then hit delete.
This didn't use to be the way. FCP used to edit through one track, 3 tracks or all tracks, no problem.
Two audio questions. How do you stop the waveforms from drawing onto the clips in the timeline, in order to speed up FCP?
How do you get the audio in captured clips to be a Stereo Pair, from the outset?
Thanks to all you who help!

Is it usual for FCP to bog down on a 4 minute piece when audio wave forms are turned on??
<
No. Should run fine. You get up into 6-12 audio tracks, FCP gets all moody and pouty.
But it depends on your system's capabilities and how well you have chosen your sequence settings.
Audio waveforms n FCP are a cruel joke compared to many other NLEs. Often easier to leave them off in the timeline, use the waveform in the Viewer and set markers for hooks in the audio tracks.
