Export as audio file functioning differently on two Logic 9 installations

Hi all,
We are exporting regions as audio files one at a time. On one machine, we have file conversion information, including the Apogee dithering, and after we name the file, it appears in the head of the region. This is the setting we need.
In another installation, using the same command, we don't get the file conversion information (no dithering options) and the name on the region stays the same.
We have the same operating system (10.5.8), same Logic number (9.02), same interface (Apogee). I am assuming that I have settings somewhere on one computer that isn't on another, but I can't seem to find them.
Thanks.

It does.. but it words it along the lines of 'Have you used Logic Pro in the past?" kind of thing....
So an experienced DAW user that hasn't previously used Logic, would get the limited installation.
The more people you try and and protect from themselves the more generic (i.e. limited) the solution.
Religion would be a good example of this.

  • How do I export detached audio files as separate files, for Pro Tools processing?

    My project is a live band performance. I have every song as a separate Event with associated audio. I have detachd all the audio from all the video Events. I now want to Export the audio files to Pro Tools for editing, then Import the edited audio back into FCP X and snap the edited audio to the associated video Events.
    My problem is this: FCP X keeps exporting the audio as a single large WAV file, rather than as separate WAV files. In fact, the video events are separate, and so the audio associated with the video Events are separate.
    I first renamed the Role of every audio file as "Music", then did a Share --> Export Media of all "Music" audio Roles. After exporting, I found it was one large WAV file, rather than separate files of different sizes.
    As a 2nd try, I created Sub-Roles for each audio clip, and named each one with a distinct Sub-Role name. I then Exported all these Sub-Roles (yes, tedious). The result was that every exported WAV file was the same size, the same as the file size in my first try. The only audio that could be heard in each file was the audio in that particular song, but FCP X still created the very large file with silence in all the rest of the file. Since the file lengths don't match the original audio fil lengths, there will be a problem when I Import the edited files back into FCP X and want to Snap them into place.
    Question:
    How can I export the individual detached audio clips as separate files, the length of each file equaling the length of the original audio file in FCP X?
    Do I need to separate the detached audio into separate Layers visually in the Project Timeline, so they are not touching? Or does this matter?
    Help!!

    No.
    You need to explore Compound Clips. This workflow may or may not be of help.
    Select an Event with clips in it and press Option+G to make a (blank) compound clip.
    Select the Event Browser, create a new Event and call it 'Effects'.
    Drag the Compound Clip into this Event.
    Right-click the clip and select 'Open in Timeline'.
    Select the timeline and press Option+W. This will add a Gap Clip to the timeline.
    Select the gap clip and press Ctrl+D then type in the duration you want the clip to be.
    Now open a project and select and copy one of the clips with effects etc.
    Open the Compound Clip in the Timeline again, select the gap clip and press Option+Cmd+V to paste the effects into your Compound Clip.
    This clip is now saved in your Browser and will remain there for you to copy and then paste the effects into any clip in any project.
    It's a bit clunky, but it works - and once you learn about Compound Clips, you can work wonders with them. As an example, if you want to add more effects without overwriting the effects in the Compound Clip, simply make the Compound Clip into a Compound Clip (again) and add the effects. They will be added to the original effects.

  • Export .m4a Audio File with Cover Art?

    Hi, I recently upgraded to GarageBand 10.0.1 after purchasing a new MBP and have been mostly successful in finding all of the changes in the app, except this one.  I use GB to create an audio podcast weekly, and in previous versions, I had the ability to export an audio file with the iTunes cover art already attached to it.  I cannot find this feature in GB 10.0.1.  Am I missing something?  Thx for your time and any help given.

    That is disappointing. Usually Apple is better about taking away steps to creating things, not adding to the number of steps required to create things.
    GarageBand has been released a bit early. I am hoping, there is more to come. Otherwise, the installer would not have left the old version installed. It is a clear sign, that Apple knows, that some important features are still missing in GB 10.0. For the time being, I am starting the projects in GB '11, and add the finishing touches - drummer, arpeggiator in GarageBand 10.0.

  • Video and Audio Files are different lengths when exporting

    I'm just trying to get comforatable with a much faster Windows workstation on PPro and AE.
    I just exported my first project from PPro to burn to Blu-ray like I've done dozens of times on our older Mac Pro w/o problems.
    My Ppro file is 7:04:18 in length.  I export the video as an mp2 Blu-ray video and import it into Encore and it shows up at that same length.
    I export the audio as an aif and import it into Encore and it shows up as 7:06:19 in length--2 seconds and 1 frame longer.
    Everything is CS6.  File is 1920 x 1080, sq pixels, 29.97.
    Any suggestions as to why this is happening?

    Thanks for the feedback.  I exported to aif as I was going to burn the Blu-ray on our Mac Pro in Encore, since we don't yet have a Blu-ray burner installed in our new Windows workstation. 
    Upon seeing your note, I re-exported the project as you described and placed the wav and mp2 in Windows Encore and they are both the same time length.
    It seems the aif should be the same too... but I assume wav is likely the preferred format on Windows so will be using that as the new workflow.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Exporting All Audio Files - Having Some Problems. . .

    Hi,
    Im trying to export all my audio and audio intrument files as audio files so that i can pass them over to someone for a remix. Im having a couple of problems:
    1. Automation does not bounce with the tracks
    2. The tracks that run though busses does not bounce
    3. Some of the exported files appear as clipping when we look at the waveform. The levels in logic appear as normal but the waveform is full, both when we view the region on the arrange and in the sample editor.
    Has anyone got any advice on exporting all tracks as audio files or any advice on what this problem could be?
    Thanks, Ben

    Whats PDC. Might seem like a silly question but im a bit lost.
    Plug-in Delay Compensation. It's in the audio preferences, General tab.
    If i want to have automation, then i have to bounce each track individually?
    Yes. As John stated, the export feature bounces the file at Unity gain, and ignores automation. Generally speaking, this is the preferred method for handing off files to a mix engineer. But there are times when the automation is part of the sound you want. In these instances, you'll need to bounce those files, not export them. But certainly automation isn't part of every track?
    I would suggest soloing each Aux track, or audio/innstrument track that needs to be bounced WITH automation, and then bounce offline. Bouncing offline will speed up the process of having to do these tracks one at a time.
    When you're done with the bounced tracks, delete them from your arrange page (but DON'T hit SAVE). Then, use the function "Export ALL tracks as audio files", and all your remaining tracks will export at one time.

    I am trying to export all the audio files from a series of Captivate demos. When I select multiple files, it only exports two at most. I read the post about changing the Captivate 6.0 folder name in the adobe settings and did that twice with no success. Is there anything else that can be done?

  • Reproting tool(api) for exporting in xls files in different templates

    Hi
    I need api for exporting data into xls files. DIfferent reports everyone has own template and data.
    Please suggest some free java APIs or tools that can be intergrated with java web application easy.

    you should use windward reports. we can use excel for the template, report, and now even the data source. And our design tool is word/excel/powerpoint, so you're already trained. you need a powerful, secure enterprise-level Java/J2EE reporting engine to back your critical reporting and document generation systems.
    The Windward Engine installs easily, runs on one or more servers as part of your server-based application, and can easily produce hundreds of thousands of reports per day on a single server. The server is a pure Java product (and also is available as pure .NET).
    Even better news for you guys: When combined with the Windward report design tools AutoTag and AutoTag Max, users design, schedule and run reports from within Microsoft Office. That means you can turn over reporting to the business group and get back to more interesting work.
    You don't have to take my word for it. Check out this [robust Java reporting engine|http://www.windwardreports.com/java.htm?source=pday909&campaign=pday909&utm_source=everyr&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=pday909&id=203] for yourself.

  • Export as audio file

    Exporting an audio a region as audio file has started behaving weirdly.
    It works twice then nothing happens ( whether using key command or selecting from menu with mouse).
    I have to restart logic to get 2 more goes....
    any clues.
    Best
    Tommy Banana

    Tony,
    The export as audio track feature does include any plug-ins that are enabled on that channel. Automation however, is not included.
    As far as volume being lower, how did you listen to that new audio file? Did you import it back into Logic into a new track? If so, was it's fader at the same level as the original track? If you listened to it from within the audio window, be aware that anything playing through the audio window (by activating the speaker icon), plays out of the first audio object in your environment, and where that fader is positioned. And if you listened to it in the Finder, well that's dependent on your macs system sound settings...

    Palo Alto Joins the Ban Against          
             Non-Recyclable Materials
           This Spring, Palo Alto joined the list of more than 30 cities and counties in California who are making good on their efforts toward reducing their greenhouse gas emissions
           by enacting partial or comprehensive bans on polystyrene (PS) foam and/or non-recyclable disposable foodservice containers. Around the same time, a California statewide ban on the use of PS containers was tabled before reaching the State Assembly floor. Representative
           Jerry Hill, one of AB 1358’s sponsors, pulled the bill due
           to concerns addressed in the Appropriations committee hearing of the bill, regarding the fiscal impacts which
           were not addressed in bill’s contents.
           Largely represented by the California Restaurant Association, opponents of AB 1358 lobbied legislative representatives and argued there would be a negative fiscal impact on struggling restaurant owners and their customers in order to accommodate the more expensive alternatives to PS containers.     There are the unquantifiable and “hidden” costs of contaminating our bodies and environment which would far surpass the fiscal impact on the plastics, restaurants and consumer industries. Studies published by the Foundation for Advancements in Science and Education have indicated that varying levels of styrene residues
             are present in 100% of all human fat tissue in the
             United States, as PS products are found to lose weight after in contact with hot or fatty/acidic foods and liquids, causing migration of the styrene into the food or fluid, ending up in the human body. On the high end, the levels were “one third of levels known to cause neurotoxic symptoms”. In the environment,
             PS is rarely recycled and does not biodegrade.     Supporting safer alternatives to polystyrene, in addition to the collection infrastructure and processing mechanisms for the compostable and recyclable products would help create more green jobs in the long run and would be a move in the right direction away from unnecessary harm
           to our health, our communities and our world. Keep your eyes open for a revised version of AB 1358 in Spring 2010!     For more information about polystyrene

  • Corrupt audio file prevents me from opening Logic project file

    Hello,
    I've been running Logic 8 for a couple years off my MacBook and have never encountered any significant problems of file corruption until recently.
    The issue I encountered is this:
    I've been producing a lengthy track in an on-going Logic project file for some time and after completing a recording session I saved and started deleting excess track copies to clean up my arrange window. Upon doing so Logic unexpectedly crashed.
    After attempting to reopen the project file, it started its normal process of loading its respective audio files, but now it hangs on one particular audio file indefinitely (I'll refer to it as 'audio file x' for ease of reference), freezing and crashing Logic as a result. All of this project file's auto backup files are also incapable of being opened without giving me the same result and crashing Logic.
    I have no way of opening this project file and getting at my most recent saved sequence!
    I've tried removing this corrupt 'audio file x' from the project's audio folder and dragging it to the desktop, but this had no effect and I still can't open any recent version of the project file.
    Older saved copies of the current project file do still open though (most likely because they were saved prior to the corruption caused by this suspect 'audio file x.') When opening an earlier iteration of the project, I get a message '1 invalid audio region found' (I assume referring to the corrupt suspect 'audio file x' that I removed to the desktop) but the project file is still able to open.
    I realize I could import the audio files from the most recent version of the crashed file to an older project version and reconstruct things back to the way they were, but it would take me a lot of time and I'm hoping there may be some way to recover the un-openable project file by getting it to stop looking for this corrupted 'audio file x' on startup.
    When I click 'show package contents' of the Logic Project file, I notice two items labeled 'displayState' and 'documentData.' From my troubleshooting I've come to the basic understanding that the 'documentData' file contains all the sequence data and settings for its respective Logic Project file.
    I think the 'document data' of the unopenable project file in question may be corrupt because whenever I replace it with the 'document data' from an earlier Project file version, the file is able to open. This doesn't do me much good though, because it's document data from an earlier iteration of the project and I need to be able to get at the current sequence I had right before my file crashed.
    Is there anyway to open a project file without letting it load its audio files? Or is there anyway I could get inside the 'document data' file to delete the reference/pathway in its audio bin to the corrupt 'audio file x' its hanging on?
    Any insights would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping there's some way I won't have to repeat a couple days worth of work. Thanks for your help!

    stooby3535 wrote:
    After further troubleshooting I've realized that the suspicious audio file that prevents the project file from opening is actually not corrupted itself. I can still play the audio file in other media software like Quicktime, etc. with no problem.
    This leads me to believe the problem opening the project file lies solely with the corrupted 'documentData' file.
    Does anyone have any ideas about how I could somehow open this project file and delete the reference of the troublesome audio file from the project's audio bin?
    Well... it really sounds like the project itself is corrupted, that's one of the reasons all project files won't load from a certain point on.
    Try this.
    Reboot the Mac.
    Open the Applications folder and boot Logic from it's icon.
    As soon as the Logic Logo/graphic window appears on the screen hold down the control key. You will see a message pop up that says something like "Launch the Core Audio Driver" there will be yes/no choice available... select NO.
    Go to the File menu and selct "open" go find your project file and see if it will open. If it does.. delete the audio file in question... however.. I would also look at any plugins you recently installed and are possibly using in this project...this sounds more like a plugin problem rather than an audio file problem, but that's just a gut feeling.
    Anyway, if it opens delete whatever you suspect and save under a different name.
    Reboot Logic and see if it can load the project.

  • The audio file is not recognized by Logic. Can't import audio files?

    Hi,
    The audio files are on my desktop. Logic 9.1.1 will not recognize them and gives me this message when I try to drag and drop OR Import Audio File OR use Audio Bin.
    As far as I know, I am using wave files (extension .wav). So what could be the problem. Here's a picture of how the files look on my desktop.
    The regular silver and blue iTunes icons look like this when I Get Info:
    The black iTunes icons look like this when I Get Info:
    Importantly, the black iTunes (only 2 out of the 18 audio files) are the ones that actually import. Does it have something to do with the fact that it shows under "More Info > Audio Channels 1" vs. the silver and blue iTunes .wav files (which do NOT have this)?
    Furthermore, here is the process I used to get the audio files in the first place. On my PC, I exported audio files from my Ableton Live project onto a thumbdrive. I copied the audio files from my thumbdrive to my Mac. Maybe this had something to do with it.
    Also, as you can see, under Sharing and Permissions > there is only "read and write" for all names, so it's not a permissions thing.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply.
    +Can you play them as Preview (select in Finder, hit spacebar)?+ No. The black iTunes icons play with no sound and the silver and blue iTunes icons do not even come up in Preview at all.
    +Will iTunes play them?+ Only the black iTunes files (2 out of the 18). When I click on a silver and blue icon'd file, it will not even open in iTunes.
    why on the desktop? it was just a temporary thing. I was not able to pull them into my Audio Bin. I tried what you suggested. I put the files in the Audio Files folder of my project. When I go to open them from within Logic by Import Audio File, they are visible but greyed out. I don't use the desktop except for testing stuff like you do.
    +How was the thumb drive formatted? FAT32 or other DOS-format, or Mac OS Extended (HFS)?
    +the extension is not where apps look to recognize an audio file format, it is the header data. Some audio programs can read RAW audio files, but more about that after your reply to this one.+ It is formatted MS-DOS (FAT 32).
    (*I wrote all this stuff above while I was working and waiting for the PC to write to my thumbdrive again*******finally I got everything to show up.
    I loaded the files again from the thumbdrive. This time they were all in the black iTunes format, and I put them directly in the Audio Files folder like you suggested. After some doing everything works fine. Weird.
    Thanks!

  • Cannot Save my Audio Files as Apple Loops in Logic 8

    This happens EVERY TIME I try to save one of my own audio file as an Apple Loop!

  • Pro Tools Missing  audio file message syndrom exists on Logic

    I come from Pro tools and i am a bit traumatised by this fkn Pro Tools missing audio file message for those who know what i mean..
    Is it something possible and frequent in logic when we work on a daily basis ?

    No, you simply copy the entire project folder to a flash drive and bring it home. If you have included the audio files in the project folder, which logic does by default, logic will find them just fine at home. If it asks where they are, you just hit "search" and if they're there, If you've copied the song file to your drive without including the audio files ("pilot error") then  the program can't find them. Often, I get protools sessions from clients with missing files. Sometimes the entire audio files folder is missing, but more often the missing files are out-takes that are no longer part of the arrangement, and were still in the audio file list of the song, but were not included in the folder when the project was copied and brought to me. How or why, I cannot tell you.

  • Easiest way of bringing audio files from pro tools to logic w/o using omf

    I have a session recorded in pro tools that I am trying to get in logic so I can mix, since logic has way more plug-ins than pro tools but when I import the audio files they all start at 1. I need the files to show up where they were recorded at in pro tools. I tried putting these files in the audio bin first and bringing to the arraange but they still started at 1. Can I get logic to this? if not does anyone know a work around?

    You need to consolidate the files in Pro Tools first, so they are all starting from the same point.
    From within Pro Tools... select al the regions in Pro Tools, (make sure all tracks are selected) ,place the curser at the end of the song, hold down the shift key, and hit return. This will select the whole session, form bar 1, beat 1.
    At this point, if there are tracks with many edits, I will first duplicate them (option/shift/3). These duplicated tracks are then pre-selected for you, and you can go ahead and consolidate them to a folder of your choosing by hitting command/shift/K.
    Then open a new Logic song, and add these files to the audio bin. Place them on the arrange page, all starting from bar 1, beat 1, and they'll all play in perfect sync.
    I do this frequently, btw, and it works 100% of the time, with absolutely no problems.

  • Encoded file sizes different on two Macs

    We've just encoded a file to MPEG2 and the encoded file on Mac 1 is 1.58 GB and I've received it on Mac 2 via DropBox and the file is now 1.7 GB.
    Can anybody explain why this is?

    Does it play the same on both machines?
    If so, don't worry about it. File sizes are reported differently based upon
    a. the hard drive sector size. Smaller sector sizes means less wasted space in less than full sectors.
    and/or
    b. how the OS reports MB. - iirc, OS. 10.6 uses 1000 kb to the MB - while 10.5 uses 1024.
