Export File As MIDI - Tempo anomally

I score movies and write virtually everything in Logic using the various software instruments that come with the program, plus some others. But when I record in a studio I work in ProTools. In order to set up the sessions in ProTools I select Export File As MIDI and import the MIDI file into my ProTools session. This creates a bar and beat and a tempo structure that is the same as my Logic session with one strange anomally. This function creates a MIDI file whose tempo is 1/10,000th or 2/10,000 fater than the original. That is, if the original session were at 120 bpm the session created with the MIDI file will be at 120.0001. At first I thought this was a ProTools issue but the same thing occurs when I click on the file to open a Logic session.
I am not terribly concerned with the variance, as it would take 10,000 minutes (just under 7 days) for the sessions to be one beat off. But I am still confused as to why this would happen at all.
Anyone have an answer?

So you're saying that a Logic session made at 120.0000 BPM, saved as a .mid file, and then re-opened in Logic will have a .0001 BPM tempo variation? Wow, weird-ee-ooooo!
As a test I did the following:
1. Created a sequence in Logic @ 120.0000 BPM
2. Exported it as a .mid file. Closed the Logic song.
3. dbl-clicked on the .mid file and Logic opened it, tempo = 120.0000
So... a few questions:
a) What version of Logic are you running?
b) Do you work at any particular frame rate? If so, what is it?
c) Can you confirm that the frame rate of your Logic sessions match that of your PT sessions?
Might be grasping at straws...

  • How to export midi file wih song tempo alternative ?

    can I export Midi File that including song tempo alternative in it?
    Please Tall Me How to do that Thanks

    Not sure what you mean by "Tempo Alternative", but a standard MIDI file includes all tempo information, whether it's a static tempo throughout the song, or an intricate tempo map. It's all included.
    As to "how"... simply utilize the "Export as MIDI file" function, found under the Export options in the File menu.

  • "Export selection as MIDI file" problem...

    Hi, i'm having some trouble when exporting my MIDI tracks to MIDI files. I select File, Export, Export selection as MIDI file and when i listen to the midi file, it's the same rhythm pattern but the instrument is a piano instead of the instrument it was originally.
    What the ****'s wrong! am i doing something wrong? I'd be really grateful if someone could solve this for me as i don't have a lot of time, it's for a college assignment!

    You're not doing anything wrong......if you are using Quicktime to preview the exported MIDI file the piano is from the Quicktime Synthesizer....

  • Random Green Frames in Premiere Render and Export Files

    Hello!
    I just switched a new MacBook Pro and am having a render issue in Premiere CC. Random green frames pop up sporadically throughout my video. This happens both on my rendered timeline and in the exported file. It seems to affect the clips with heavier color correction. What is happening and how can fix it?
    Here's a link to the video on Vimeo. You will see green frames at 00:04, 00:43, 01:03, 01:39, 01:48, 01:58 and 02:25.
    I'm editing on Premiere CC. Most of the clips have heavy effects work (motion, fast color corrector, RGB curves and a circle overlay for vignetting). All footage and project files are stored on a WD My Passport 2TB Portable External USB 3.0.
    The footage is from a 5D Mark III set for 1080p IPB, so files are .movs.
    Exporting in H.264 with the Vimeo HD 1080p 23.976 preset, not changing any of the preset settings. But again, the issue also occurs pre-export, after rendering on the timeline.

    Please help! Thank you!

    Problem fixed!
    Someone from the Adobe support team instructed me to change the renderer to software only mode. This can be changed under File>Project Settings>General. More specifically, I changed it from Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (Open CL) to Mercury Playback Engine Software Only. I deleted the old render files and reexported without any further issues.
    Success!

  • Exporting song as midi ...

    when creating a song using vst instruments and exporting as a midi file...the midi file joins all tracks into a single channel midi file 0 , how can I export as a midi file type 1?  Thanks Guys

    Should be clear after raiding this, I hope!
    >>>Export MIDI regions as standard MIDI files You can export one or more MIDI regions as standard MIDI files, to play in another music application. If your project contains only MIDI regions, you can merge the regions and export the entire project as a MIDI file. Before exporting, you need to perform several steps to prepare the MIDI regions.
    Because Standard MIDI file type 0 format files can only save a single MIDI region, you must also join MIDI regions you want to export as a MIDI file in file format 0. You can do this by selecting the regions and choosing Edit > Join (or use the Glue tool).
    Prepare MIDI regions for export 1 Control-click the regions, then choose MIDI > Normalize Region Parameters from the shortcut menu.
    2 Control-click the regions, then choose MIDI > Apply Quantization Destructively from the shortcut menu.
    3 Convert any aliases to region copies by choosing Functions > Region Alias > Convert Alias to a Copy from the Tracks area menu bar (or use the Convert Alias to a Region Copy key command).
    4 Convert all loops into regions by selecting the loops and choosing Convert > Convert Loops to Regions from the shortcut menu.
    5 Convert all MIDI regions on each track into a continuous MIDI region by choosing Edit > Join > Regions per Tracks (or use the Join Regions per Tracks key command).
    6 Insert all instrument MIDI settings as events by choosing Functions > Insert Instrument MIDI settings as Events from the Tracks area menu bar.
    Export one or more MIDI regions as standard MIDI files 1 Select the MIDI regions to export.
    2 Choose File > Export > Selection as MIDI File.
    3 Choose the destination directory, enter a name, then click Save. The selected MIDI regions are saved as a Format 1 MIDI file.
    Note:  If you're exporting MIDI files to use with a hardware sequencer, you may need to limit the filenames to an 8.3 character name; such as “proj0001.MID.”<<

  • Importing midi tempo map in Logic Pro

    my friend did a midi tempo map of a audio file. sent me .midi file but can't get it to open if logic. how you import it into a exitsting project?
    thanks

    Hi
    There are 2 ways to get a MIDI file into Logic:
    A) File:Import (or drag and drop from the Finder, use the Browser, etc).
    This imports all the basic MIDI events, but ignores tempo, time signature and such,
    B) File:Open
    This creates a new project with all the tempo data.
    To import this tempo data into an existing project, copy the tempo events from the tempo list in the 'MIDI' project, and paste into your project.

  • Time stretch audio file to match tempo of track

    Hi everyone, I am a new user of Logic express, and have found the info on this site extremely helpful, in conjunction with SFlogicninja's tutorials on youtube.
    However, after watching a recent tutorial on Time stretching audio, i am now completely confused. Similar to the tutorial, i am trying to fit an audio region(an acapella track) to the tempo of the project. I have beat mapped the region to establish a tempo, but would like to experiment with slowing down or speeding up the track as a whole. As the acapella was created outside of Logic, i am bouncing the acapella track in order to be able to 'follow tempo'(as shown in the inspector). I have disabled the 'normalize' checkbox and bounced, but the bounced track still does not have the 'follow tempo' option in the inspector.
    Any ideas as to why my bounced files cannot follow tempo. I can do it with audio that i create in Logic, but if i import any files, i was under the impression that by bouncing it within Logic, i could still obtain the same results?
    I'm running out of hair to pull out!

  • Error During INSTALL of Application Export File

    An error is reported during INSTALL of an application that I am trying to copy (Import/Install) from a "development" Work Space into a "production" Work Space. The production (target) Work Space is on the same HTML DB instance as the development Work Space.
    I am receiving the following INSTALL error:

ORA-06550: line 15, column 1: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol &amp;quot;,'39','RD8','8','S','10','U','43','UD','41','UG','11','W')) END)&amp;quot; when expecting one of the following: .

    Following is some pertinent (hopefully) information:
    The above INSTALL error takes exception to part of a Region Select (sql) that works fine in the development Work Space.
    The common HTML DB (v1.6) instance is on UNIX.

  • Lightroom 5 cannot export files in original Raw format (LR 5.4, Mac, OS 10.9.4).

    A client has the following problem: When trying to export files in the original Raw format (.CR2), the operation failed and a dialog informs us that "Some export operations were not performed". We can export JPEGs just fine.
    After lots of testing, this is what we discovered:  The problem does not appear to be catalog-based; we run into the same problem using a test catalog.  The export operation works fine, however, with the same test catalog and images on two other machines, and it even works fine on the same machine with a new user admin account that we created. 
    So it appears to be something associated with the user account, , or with how LR is interacting with the user account, but I cannot figure out what it might be. We can copy the Raw files when using the Finder to do so. But not via Lightroom.  Any thoughts, ideas of suggestion would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks, Sean

    As part of your testing make sure you've tried exporting JPGs from the same folder as the CR2s you're exporting as original, and export JPGs from CR2s to the same folder as you're exporting your originals.  This would test LR's read and write permissions from and to the folders being used.
    From this document you can see that all the LR files other than the program, are under the /Users folder with different values possible for each user, so the difference could be that the users that work are using the original LR defaults, if you have just started using LR with them after you started having this problem, or at least that the user with the problem has some oddball settings that are interfering with Export as Original.
    Preference and other file locations in Lightroom 5
    You can test for the Preferences being off by either copying the preferences from a user that has the problem to a user that doesn't have the problem--probably through an external or common folder, or be deleting the preferences file from the user that has the problem and see if it resolves.  Moving the preferences file or renaming it may be better than deleting it if no change is seen, then you can restore the preferences back by moving or renaming the file back to the original location and name.

    IMP-00008: unrecognized statement in the export file:
    All the tables got copied except for one. Now what I have thought of is to import that one table again after taking an export from the prod schema.

    If reimporting the schema again the only option ?

    Hello,
    In this order:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/exp_imp.htm#i1023988
    Table Objects: Order of Import
    Table objects are imported as they are read from the export file. The export file contains objects in the following order:
    1. Type definitions
    2. Table definitions
    3.Table data
    4.Table indexes
    5. Integrity constraints, views, procedures, and triggers
    6. Bitmap, function-based, and domain indexes
    The order of import is as follows: new tables are created, data is imported and indexes are built, triggers are imported, integrity constraints are enabled on the new tables, and any bitmap, function-based, and/or domain indexes are built. This sequence prevents data from being rejected due to the order in which tables are imported. This sequence also prevents redundant triggers from firing twice on the same data (once when it is originally inserted and again during the import).
    For example, if the emp table has a referential integrity constraint on the dept table and the emp table is imported first, all emp rows that reference departments that have not yet been imported into dept would be rejected if the constraints were enabled.
    When data is imported into existing tables, however, the order of import can still produce referential integrity failures. In the situation just given, if the emp table already existed and referential integrity constraints were in force, many rows could be rejected.
    A similar situation occurs when a referential integrity constraint on a table references itself. For example, if scott's manager in the emp table is drake, and drake's row has not yet been loaded, scott's row will fail, even though it would be valid at the end of the import.

    Yes - no special requirements are needed.

    Pl post exact OS and database versions. Ideally you should be using AL32UTF8 for all new databases. WE8DEC is a deprecated characterset.
