Export a wav file

This is crazy. I just want to make a wav file of the whole finished project and I can't figure out how to do it. I'm knee deep in the bounce help menu and can't make any sense of it. Can someone explain how to do this simply?

Okay, sorry, got it figured (I didn't have the in and out points marked correctly - nothing was bouncing).

Exporting Audition .wav files for ProTools correctly????

I'm currently using Audition 3.0, recording multiple live tracks (around 20 instruments at one time) in multitrack mode. While thes e tracks are recording live, Audition is creating the .wav files (source files) in a specified folder....correct? Now, I've recorded/captured the audio/wav files for the project, and I now want to export these .wav/source files onto a portable hard drive and load (import) them into ProTools for final mixdowns. What are the correct steps in exporting the Audition .wav files, in the right ProTools format, so that ProTools will recognize them properly and open in a PT session?
I found a post on your forum about this saying:
"Audition will export files directly in PT's restricted 24-bit format as well if needed (Audition's norm is 32-bit floating point)."
I have another person doing our mixdown using ProTools, if you're wondering why I'm asking this and not using Audition for the mixdo wn.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing back from somebody on how to do this.

You can easily use Audition's "Batch Processing" tool to convert your 32-bit source files to a ProTools compatible 24-bit format. Switch to "Edit View" and click File > Batch Processing... In the dialog that comes up, click the "Add Files" button and select the WAV files recorded for your session. (These files will be in a subfolder of where you saved the original session, named "<session name>_Recorded" For example, if you created your session in \My Documents\Adobe\Audition\3.0\My Session\ the recordings will be stored in \My Documents\Adobe\Audition\3.0\My Session\My Session_Recorded\ )
After the files are loaded, click the "New Format" tab and set the Output Format to "Windows PCM (*.WAV)" then click the Format Properties button and choose "24-bit packed int (type 1, 24-bit)" and click OK. Click the "Destination" tab and choose a folder to collect the new files, and click "Run Batch."
After the conversion process has completed, you should be able to send those files to your ProTools engineer for mixing.

Export .wav file on Mac in CS4

i want to increase the volume of my source file great then
100%. I don't believe it is possible to do this within CS4, so I'd
like to export the .wav file and edit it in another application. I
am working on a Mac and I don't have the option to export sound
files in the .wav format. Any recommendations?

If you're talking about timecode stamping in a WAV file exported from STP . . . well it doesn't seem to work for me no matter what timecode rate I use. 29DF, 29, 24, 23. I suspect you need to either give them the timecode location manually or export the whole thing, and let them just punch in the section they need.

5.1 WAV files

Hi all!
I´ve to edit a videoclip and sync it to a stereo wav file and a 5.1 wav file(s) - 1st time i do it, ans 1st time i do it in FCP.
I don´t know if i´ll have multi files (total of 8 - stereo and 5.1) or if it´s possible to have a single wav that contains all stuff and then use 5.1 audio setting in FCP.
With the sync video and audio (and some post, of course!) i have to export a wav file and a quicktime move to the final mastering session... so my questions: (at last :))
- how should i ask PTools guy to send me the wav files (?) individual (?) is there a 5.1 specific file that i should use with fcp?
- how can i export a .wav with the correct TC (?) it´s a simple export (?) or multi-export - 8 tracks?
- to export a correct quicktime reference, matching the digibeta timecode should i use a visual TC (using a plugin) or if i export a normal quicktime it will have the project timecode?
Thank you all!
Regards
HBars

5.1 surround sound requires Dolby or DTS encoding. You create a 5.1 from multiple audio tracks (be they .aiff, .wav, etc. Always use highest quality audio sources before encoding. Hope this is useful.

Read & Filter Multiple .wav files, Export Filtered SPL

Hi
I'm searching for tips on how to use LabVIEW to read multiple .wav files, then filter them, then export just the calculated SPL values to a "database friendly format".
Basically I want a solution that allows me to point to several files, then press a "go button" that triggers LabVIEW to produce filtered SPL values as exported data.
I'll skim over the cal approach since I'm confident most readers know how to handle it. Basically, though, for each 30 s .wav file of broadband noise, an associated cal tone file is used to determine the dBFS value (dB below Full Scale) to be associated with 94 dB SPL, or 114 dB SPL, as the case may be. I'll leave it at that.
Detailed Requirements, (excluding cal steps, tho).
1) Operates on up to a dozen 30 s time records (44,1 kSa/s, mono .wav files);
2) Passes the signal from each desired .wav file through 18 of the 1/3 octave filters (IEC 1260 compliant, as in the S/V toolset) not necessarily in real time!;
3) Calculates the SPL for each 1/3 octave filtered time record; This makes (12 files) x (18 filters) = 216 filtered SPL values if end-user points to a dozen broadband noise files before pressing the "Go" button;
4) Exports SPL values in a suitable database format; an existing database does the rest of the mathematics and report generation;
Client FileMaker database functions include:
- import and store 1/3 octave filtered Leq(30) SPL values;
- average filtered SPL across the declared qty of mic positions of the present test case;
NOTES:
1) In the field, we do NOT use simultaneous / MULTI-mics. Instead, it is absolutely an "open and shut case" that the optimum process is to move one (1) single mic quickly from spot to spot. While holding the airborne noise at a constant level we position the mic at each spot for 30 s to feed the .wav recorder, then move on. We emerge from a typical day of field activity with, say, 60 to 100 .wav files to post-process.
2) (1), above, explains why we don't use any N.I. DAQ h/w.
3) LabVIEW, it seems, exports best to a spreadsheet, so if needed, I'm prepared to handle manually any ugly conversion from LV's format to a proper database format ("1st Normal Form, 2nd Normal Form, etc.).
4) Given a choice to calculate the averages in my database, versus in LV (say, to cut down on exported data qty), I'd likely opt to export the 216 SPL's and then do averaging in the database, (where the ASTM E336 reports are done).
TIPS Gathered To Date:
1) S/V toolset has IEC 1260 compliant filters, BUT...
2) If you use the S/V toolset VI's, then you CANNOT ACCESS the filtered time record NOR CAN YOU WRITE the filtered data back to a .wav file! All you can do is measure the filters' outputs. Fortunately for us here, the available measures include SPL.
Aside: Although not a show-stopper in this project, this constraint is surprising, nonetheless. To access & record the filtered sound, you'd have to either (a) ask N.I. to unprotect VI's, or (b) develop your own IEC compliant filters from N.I.'s published tap co-eff's etc.;
3) LabVIEW does not support drag'n'drop operations on files. Instead, the recommended technique is to use multiple "Browse to/ Navigation/ File Open" panels to allow LV to open the user's desired qty of .wav files simultaneously;
Thanks for any tips!

The filter VI is password protected in the Sound & Vibration Toolkit (SVT) for two reasons. First, since the filter is compliant to a standard, by locking the code we guarantee that no one has the chance to accidentally change it so that they are no longer compliant. Second, the method of filtering the data is considered intellectual property that we are protecting.
That said, from reading your post it does not appear that you need to have access to the filtered data since you are making an SPL measurement which is provided in the Sound & Vibration functionality. Is that correct?
Also, I wanted to point you to another subVI which comes with SVT but is not in the pallette that might be of use. There is an example for SVT which is SVXMPL_Wav Power Spectrum which opens up a wav file and computes the power spectrum of it. Inside the VI, there is a subVI which will open a Wav file and convert it into a waveform which you can use with your SVT functions.
Hope that helps,
Jack

Why won't my .wav files show up in a 3rd party sound application after being exported as an omf file

Hi all, I've searched everywhere and can't find an answer, so hopefully someone out there will have mercy and help me!
I have Canon 7D footage (h.264 codec) and H4N Zoom audio (24bit 48khz .wav files) loaded into Premiere Pro CS 5. Editing on a Macbook Pro OS 10.6.8. I haven't added timecode.
My workflow, which I've done successfully several times in the past, is to sync the footage by creating individual sequences for each take (usually interview takes) and then bring in the audio and video and manually line/sync them up. I then link the two clips.
I then create a new sequence for my edit and then cut parts of the previously synced clips and then paste them into the sequence and edit away. After locking I export an omf (48khz, 24 bit, files as separate audio, aiff files, with 24frame handles). Then I import the OMF into Soundtrack Pro.
However this time, the majority of the sound clips do not show up in Soundtrack Pro timeline even though they are present in the omf folder as Aiff files. Normally you would think this was an issue with Soundtrack Pro, however one audio file did show up in Soundtrack Pro, but it was a sound file I had not linked to a video clip. Upon further investigation I found that that the audio clip that was not synced retained it's STE-014.wav name in the Premiere timeline. All the other audio I had synced to video had somehow taken on the video clip's MVI 0075 name.
I checked my old projects (the ones that I successfully exported to OMF) and even when I synced the audio and video, the audio retained it's STE.wav name. I don't know why the names changed; I did a test in my current project by cutting and pasting a synced clip at the end of the edit timeline and the audio retained it's STE.wav name. See pic.
After further tests, if the audio retains it's STE name it shows up in Soundtrack Pro (and Soundbooth as well), if it takes on the video MVI name it doesn't. I've tried exporting as an AAF and a Final Cut Pro XML file and it still doesn't work. I've tried unlinking and relinking the clips as well as making the audio offline and then relinking but still nada. I also cleaned the media cache to no avail.
If I render and replace the audio in the edit timeline, the name doesn't change, but the audio file does show up in Soundtrack Pro and Soundbooth, but unfortunately I need handles to edit the sound so this doesn't help me much.
Any ideas? and thanks!

Yes, it has always worked in the past. The past projects audio clips do not change names. I obviously did something different in this current project, but unfortunately I have no idea what.

New Quicktime 7.6.6 (1671) won't export WAV files

HELP! - New Quicktime 7.6.6 (1671) won't export WAV files. I just did the automatic upgrade to the new version of Quicktime and now I can't export WAV files from a CAF file. The original .CAF file plays perfectly but when I attempt to export it the exported file is corrupted and won't play. I have another computer with the previous version of Quicktime and it exports the same file flawlessly. Anyone know what's going on with the new version? THANKS!

+Error writing to the file: C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesMiniPlayer.Resources\nb.lproj\iTunesMiniPlayerLocalized.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory.+
More often than not, that sort of message indicates file damage rather than a privileges issue on the file.
If you've got Windows XP, try doing a chkdsk over your C drive, as per:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
If you've got Vista, try the following procedure. Go "Start > Computer". Right-click on "Local Disk C:" and select "properties". Click the "Tools" tab. Click the "Check now" button in the "Error correction" section.
Do the disk checks find/repair any damage? If so, does an install go through properly afterwards?

Exporting WAV Files with looping

Hi
I have a collection of sound effects that I've prepared in Logic. I've been exporting them to WAV files for use by another application. I do this with File->Export->Region as Audio File. This is all good.
The prolem I have is that I'd like some of them to loop. So I've been using a PC and Sound Forge to add the WAV sustain information to the WAV file. I'd really like to keep my workflow on the Mac and in Logic.
So, my question: is there a Mac app that can add the WAV sustain or can Logic export it? (I've tried Sound Studio and Audacity already with no success).
cheers
peter

Even though Logic has a 'write loop to file' function, I often find that the loop info either doesn't stick, or is invisible to other apps.
Loops added in DSPQuattro seem to always work, and probably with Peak too (I don't have Peak so I can't check.)
But you can get SoundHack for free and that will also write readable loop points to files.
No Logic user should be without it.
It does so many useful things you can't usually do in DAW apps like Logic.

in garage band, i want to import a 20 minute wav file and cut it into individual songs, and export them to itunes or dropbox or ...
i've imorted the file to audio for imovie, but can't see how to chop it up, save the pieces as individual units, and export them.

Create a new GarageBand project using the "Voice" template.
Drag you wav file into the Track area of the GarageBand window to create an audio track for it.
Use the playback button to find the gaps between the songs.
Mark each song in turn with the cycle region. Press the button with the two blue chasing arrows to enable the cycle region. This will create a yellow bar at the top of the track area. Drag the ends of this bar to mark one of your songs.
Now use the "Share" menu to send your song to iTunes.
When done, adjust the cycle region to mark the second song.

Adding metadata to wave files on export

I capture audio within Logic and export the track as a wave file. How do I add metadata such as Title, Author Etc to the wave file? In addition how can I add cover art?

Wave files do not have much support for metadata, only a simple header is contained in the file. Try using AIFF if you're looking to preserve the original sound quality. AIFF have good support for the metadata types you mention.

Need to export as a 8 bit, 8 khz, PCM mu-law WAV file

I have an MP3 that I need to export as a 8 bit, 8 khz, PCM mu-law WAV file (it's for a phone system that is kinda old).
I've found programs that will do mu-law but not at 8 bit, etc. Quicktime will do the 8 bit and 8 khz WAV, but not PCM mu-law (it only does linear). Ironically, Mu-law (u-law) is an option for sound compression for AVI, but not WAV. It's there. I just need to know how to tap into it.

alaw and ulaw are commonly used in telephony systems, such as VoIP. For example we record voice messages - such as welcomes, prompts or instructional and progress - in natively support format for Asterisk in alaw.

Exporting Audio - .mp3 and .wav files

OS: Windows XP
Captivate version: 3
When exporting audio files, both a .wav file and .mp3 file are exported for each audio instance listed in the Library.
Why are there two different versions of the same audio?
Does Captivate utilize both?
I appreciate your help.

Hi Mukul
Thanks for that answer! Can we take it one step further and clarify something please?
Imagine that one has a MP3 file they successfully import into Captivate. It gets converted to WAV upon import. If the user does not modify it in any way during the edit process, is the same MP3 used when publishing? Or is it modified in any way going back out?

Export wav file with matching dropframe timecode

I'm sure I'm just missing something simple, but I need to export a small corrected part of a finished as a WAV file with timecode that matches the project. Being for broadcast in the US, the project is in dropframe timecode. While I'm working in STP, I see drop frame time code. But when I export, I get non-drop timecode that doesn't match the orginal code. This is a five second fix for a one hour DVD and I hate to have to send the authorers an entire new sound track when they only need the five seconds with matching timecode.
How can I export and make this work. Without having to get ProTools, that is!

If you're talking about timecode stamping in a WAV file exported from STP . . . well it doesn't seem to work for me no matter what timecode rate I use. 29DF, 29, 24, 23.
