Exchange mp3 for aiff (reconnect)

Hi I am working on a project right now in Logic Express 7, it's kind of a collage of mp3 song mixed together to create a new piece. My problem is that logic is getting really slow when I work in the arrange window if I move the cursor the rainbow is spinning for a while before I can hear anything. Usually with midi and aiff files I have no issues. I am suspecting the mp3 format not to be well supported in that version. I just did drag and drop of my mp3's just like someone suggested before. Right now I am trying to convert all the mp3's that I am using in this project to aiff. My question is how to replace the mp3 files by the aiff files without loosing my editing? I don't want to start from scratch again, how is that possible? (I would need something like reconnect media like in FCP)
Thanks

Sure, Logic can do this, but:
MP3s can not be edited destructively and have to converted into wav/aiff/SDII first if you want to actually change the pitch/tempo of the file in the sample editor, There are many tools to line up tempo and speed like various pitch shifters, pitch and time mashine, beatmapping and others. Logic is a full DAW also capable of Remixing and DJing stuff.

  • Replacing mp3 w/AIFF

    Hello - I loaded an mp3 into FCP, as I had temporarily forgotten about converting it to AIFF... The thing is, is that I already edited the song into a number of sections, so rather than having to start that from scratch again, is there a way to 'disconnect' the media, then 'reconnect media', reconnecting to AIFF? I did try deleting the mp3 file from the Browser, thinking that I could do just that, but the mp3 is still in the timeline -- thanks very much!

    Ok, here's something weird, I did think I was reconnecting, but there was no box for 'Matched Name Only'... but here's the thing - I went back and listened to what I had in the timeline, and it didn't skip where it normally did, leading me to believe that I wasusing the AIFF file. However, when I click on the audio in the timeline it, it still shows up in the Viewer as being the mp3...
    So I tried it again w/another song, and still no 'Matched Name Only' box, and it shows up in the Viewer as being the mp3. But by now, I can't tell if I'm listening to the mp3 or the AIFF. And about that, the AIFF is actually an AIFC, after I've converted the mp3 to AIFF file - anyone know what that might be about? THank you!!!

  • 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

    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.

  • HELP! Logic Pro bouncing EMPTY MP3 and AIFF files..

    Hi everyone.
    I've recently installed Logic Pro 8 onto a new Mac Pro. Entered the code and did a full session recording. But when I go to Bounce the track it goes through the process but then when I look at the Bounced track it is blank :s
    I have tried both Mp3 and AIFF bounce and sending them straight to iTunes, but no luck.
    Any ideas?
    The only other thing is that I have not yet Registered this Logic online as the Mac hasn't got a connection yet. Could this be the problem?
    Cheers for any help.
    Barka

    There is another possibility.
    If, like I do, you are using ANY outboard or DSP FX (UAD-1 for example), or are using an interface with a DSP mixer that you are routing through (Metric HALO, for example), then back to your Logic 2-Buss (Out 1-2), you will need to check the real time check-box on bouncing dialog, and let the project sum in real-time.
    Does this make sense?
    Kind Regards,
    Mark

  • Converting mp3 to aiff

    How do I convert mp3 files to AIFF? My mp3 audio files in Final Cut Pro have these nasty drop-out/pops. I heard from another forum that the ticket is to convert my mp3s to AIFF - so, once again - How?
    thanks in advance.

    "Best" depends totally on your usage, so without knowing what you need these files for and what your criteria will be, it's difficult to offer any useful advice.
    "CAF" is probably "Core Audio Format". See this developer article for information.
    Regards.

  • Exchange phone for different kind

    I just bought the Bionic a couple days ago and I'm completely dissatisfied with the phone.  Can i exchange it for a different phone like the Razr?  What is the process of doing this at the store and what time frame do I have to take care of it?  Recieved phone on 11/17/2011.  I heard that this is an extended period to return/exchange a phone due to the holidays, cause I know it was 14 days, but now it has changed.  I realize that i would probably have to pay a restocking fee of $35.00 when returned, but want to know exactly what needs to be done to exchange it for different phone entirely.  Any help will be appreciated.
    I had another question about exchange.  If I purchased over the phone on 11/16/2011 and recieved the phone the next day on 11/17/2011 instead of in the store, would I have to send back my bionic first before I could get the Razr as exchange or would they send me the Razr and have me send back the bionic when the Razr arrives, so at least I have a cell phone until then.  Thanks again

    you have 14 days to schange the phone
    you can only do this ONE time
    you will pay the restocking fee and any cost difference
    you should be able to do it all in store
    this all assume you bought it from verizon and not a 3rd party such as amazon/wirefly/ect

    Well, this question really belongs in the iTunes forum, which is where you will get fast answers.
    Just go to iTunes Preferences.  Click on the General icon.  Set When you insert a CD to Ask to Import CD.  Click on Import Settings.  Set Import to MP3 decoder.  Make sure you're using Good Quality.
    This should deal with your CD's.
    With your current music, as long as it does not have DRM restrictions (older iTunes Music did), select the song, right click on the song (or group of songs), pull down to Create MP3 version. 

  • My ipod touch 5 is not working. I bought it about 9 months ago, is there anyway i can exchange it for a new one?

    I bought my ipod touch 5 about 9 months ago it is no longer working right there are vertical colored stripes on half the screen and it automatically is clicking things that i didn't want opened. Does anyone know if i can exchange my ipod for a new one (ordered it off of the apple website, don't believe i still have the e-mail) or kn ow a solution to this problem?

    Take it in for warranty exchange:
    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.

  • Adobe Exchange Panel for Photoshop CC 2014

    I'm trying to get the Adobe Exchange Panel for Photoshop CC 2014 (Mac 10.10.2).
    When searching for it on Adobe.com, all I get is the download for CS6. Is this the SAME Exchange Panel usable in CC 2014?
    Thanks for any guidance.

    I'm having problems searching out any updates. It's like they silently retired it after CC.
    This is the last mention of it:
    Adobe Exchange Panel – 1.1 Update for CC apps now available
    Since it's a flash panel, it wouldn't work in CC 2014 which has gone to HTML5 panels

    What do you mean what should you do?  Just because you don't want to pay too much for a phone, doesn't make the price any cheaper.  If you can't afford the price of an unlocked phone, then you don't, or can't, buy one.

  • Converting aac to mp3 for a cd

    Hello
    Is t possible to convert my iTunes library (aac format) to mp3 in order to burn a mp3-cd? I couldn't do it, iTunes tells me that none of the songs are in mp3 format. Do I have to bring all the cd's again to my library in mp3-format? There's 7 gigabits of stuff so it'll take a while if that's the case...

    Before I go into detail, with store bought Songs from iTUnes, there in a "AAC protected format" and can not be converted, you have to first burn them to a audio CD, then "Re"import them as MP3
    For all other songs you will first goto edit>preferences>Advanced tab>importing sub tab and set it to MP3 and the bit rate you choose (Usually a high bit rate is better when converting songs from AAC or other formats)
    With that done you can rightclick each song one by one and hit "Convert to MP3" or you can select/highlight one song, hold the shift key, and select the last song, this will highlight every song inbetween the first and last song (More on iTUnes shortcut keys here http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/windows/shortcuts/ ) When you convert songs like this iTUnes will list 2 of the same song, one is the original, the second one will be the converted file

  • I know how to convert WMA to AAC/MP3 for Itunes

    I'm not sure if someone else has figured this out or not, but I figured out how to convert WMA files to AAC or MP3 for Itunes. First open the file using Quicktime. I think you need the Flip4Mac program. I'm not sure and you also need Quicktime pro. Choose Save. Select standalone movie. Choose location. It will convert song to movie, then import all your movies you selected. Organize Itunes by "Kind". Select all of your new movies files. Choose Advanced and convert to your appropriate file type.
    I looked for a while and couldn't find a good way to change wma to aac. This takes a little bit, but it works. What do you think? It works for me.

    Or, as has been pointed out in numerous posts, you can use EasyWMA.
