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.

  • How to export all tracks into audio files with the same duration

    Hi everybody.
    I am trying to export all the tracks into different audio files.
    It's 10 soft. instruments and an audio track. I tried with "File>Export>All Tracks as Audio File but the result is 11 audio files with different lengths. As the song is 3 minutes and 20 seconds I would like every single track to be 3.22 sec long.
    How do I do it? In fact, each track is composed not only by played instruments but also by moments of silence.
    Thanks!!

    The files are different lengths because each instrument does not stop playing at the same moment. It would accomplish nothing other than waste disk space if Logic appended silence to the end of each file in order to make each track the same length. The different lengths you see mean nothing because the absence of appended silence means nothing.
    each track is composed not only by played instruments but also by moments of silence.
    Naturally. And that silence is accounted for in your exported files, when the silence appears at the beginning of the track, and when it appears during the track. It just isn't appended at the end because that would be pointless. Consider this project, consisting of four tracks:
    When I use the command File > Export > All Tracks as Audio Files, Logic will produce four files that look like this:
    The files are not equal in length, which is perfectly fine. What's important is that they all start at bar 1, and will align properly when imported into some other program. So all you need is the command you already used: File > Export > All Tracks as Audio Files. In one step, it will produce all the files you need, and it will produce them correctly.
    By using Bounce, you would be gaining nothing except extra work, because you would have to do it separately for each file you wanted to produce. With Export > All Tracks as Audio Files, you get all your files with just one command.

    exporting tracks means that any panning or automation will not be rendered. So if you want the engineer to put up all of your tracks at unity gain (all faders at zero) and have your tracks & stems reproduce the mix you're hearing at your studio, use bounce, not export.
    If you want to have your tracks & stems reproduce the mix you're hearing at your studio, there's no need to go to the extra effort of using Bounce instead of Export. You only need to enable (in the Export dialog) the checkbox "Include Volume/Pan Automation." This is explained on p. 1022. When you do this, any panning or automation will indeed be rendered.

  • 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.

  • Work flow for syncing separate Audio files with Video files in FCP

    It may be too late for me to use this workflow that I want with my current project, but I need to figure out what it is anyway for future reference.
    Right now I'm editing a movie which is near completion. When we recorded the movie, the camera's deck recorded reference audio from the sound guy at 48k @ 16bit. This audio also went through an additional set of preamps which added a small amount of noise. So we don't want to use the reference audio because of it's low resolution and less clean audio. The sound guy recorded straight to his deck at 48k @ 24bit, besides the better resolution, his audio is noticeably better.
    The camera deck and 'clapper' (I think that's what you call it) were not connected or synced. So the video files and the soundsguy's audio files are slightly different lengths, but at least have a 'clap sound' to manually sync to. And I don't mean that the audio and video files won't play in sync with each other, I mean that the soundguy always started recording before the camera, so his audio files have slightly different start and stop times.
    Could I have synced the audio files with the video files before I started editing this project? If so, could it have been in the way that the soundguy's audio would be connected to my video files while editing? What would that procedure have been?
    My current workflow right now is I have my finished sequence, I change the bit rate to 24 in Sequence Settings, and start manually dragging the soundguy's files to the sequence for every little edited clip. This is going to take forever, there are 99 scenes in this movie. Anyway, at the end of the day these sequences are exported as .omf files and imported into Pro Tools for audio post production.
    I was not thinking to figure this out before I started editing the movie, this is unfortunate, a newb move in a decent production.
    Anyway, I don't know if there is a standard for this situation or if I just opened up a can of worms for many possible workflows. Please comment if you have experience in this area or please refer me to any reading material.
    Thanks for your time!
    -Monty

    The normal workflow (besides manually syncing up before editing!)
    is to have ' some ' way of auto syncing the clips.
    So you must have common timecode.
    With external audio, you can slave the cam's TC to the TC output of the BWF recorder.
    Then you can use BWF / QT merge (one of my apps) to sync them, or use Sync 'n Link.
    (another third party application)
    If it is not possible cause you're shooting with a cam without a TC input, you can record the TC output on one of the audio tracks of your cam, and use FCPauxTC reader to decode the beeps and translate that to QT TC, and again use the former tricks to sync them.
    It is difficult when you have never done it, but very easy once you get the hang of it, and it saves a huge amount of time to do it right from the start.
    Have a look at the FCP aux TC reader here:

  • How do I repair a broken M4A audio file?

    I used the program Audio hijack Pro to capture some audio of a Skype conversation. But in the middle of the conversation AHP crashed, and I'm left with an incomplete and corrupt m4a audio file. It is 6,7MB big, which indicates to me that the audio is still there, but not accessible. No program I tried can open the file or repair it.
    I tried vlc, quicktime, soundtrack pro, windows media player, fission, audacity and some smaller tools like BeSliced...
    Please help, I don't want to loose 30 minutes of speech recording!

    If your presentation is such that you want to recover it rather than reconstruct it, you could consult the Apple documentation on the Keynote document structure. That said, I have never had much luck directly editing the XML file, and I have grave doubts about the efficiency of such an endeavour. If you do go about it, I would first try deleting all but one slide from the XML file, and see if you can get the presentation to open at all, then build up the file from there. (Obviously you should first make a copy of the presentation and keep that separate before editing the XML files.)

    I still use Aperture 2.1.4.  I need to export an image file with a CMYK profile.  Whereas a generic CMYK profile is listed in ColorSync Utility, it does not appear on the list of profiles in the edit portion of the export preset dialogue.  Help?  Is there some way to add the CMYK profile to the list of choices that are available in the export preset dialogue such that I can choose it?

    leonieDF
    Thanks for your response.  My profiles are located within color sync utility as you can see here:   
    These profiles do not respond to clicking and dragging.  Since they are all in one place, more or less, I'm reluctant to make further attempts to relocate them.  Accessing the CMYK profile is the first difficult experience I've encountered with this arrangement.  I have never needed the CMYK profile until recently, and that need has now past.  However, it remains a mystery to me as to why it does not appear with all the others on the menu of export choices in Aperture 2, or on the menu of profile assignment choices in the Preview application (where again all the other profiles are listed as choices).  I'm beginning to think my current set up will permit me to view an image that was created in CMYK space, but does not easily assign, or convert to that space.  I don't face these restrictions with all the others, so it remains a curious circumstance for me.  I anticipate upgrading my computer and software in the near future which might alleviate this issue altogether.  Again, many thanks for your attention to this matter.  The reach of this community is astounding.

  • Renaming audio files with increasing numbers.

    I don't know if this is a Logic or a MacOS question but since it has to do with music I post it here.
    I received three Cds with audio files. Every CD starts from track number one. I want to import all that files into logic. It confuses me when I have three audio files with the same name in my audio window. I want to rename them so I can see to which CD they belong.
    I could rename all the files manually. But is there a way to rename the files with increasing numbers all at once?
    Can I do that with the file manager or automator??
    Thanks for help,
    Eddie

    Hi
    what i do is import the files in Logic.
    In the arrange window select all the different regions (i only have done this when they're on the same track).
    Select the text tool.
    click on the first track you wanna rename - a blue box will appear.
    type the preferred name with a 1 after it.
    all the regions following that region will be renamed incrementally.
    You can also do this with a single region that you have split in logic.
    Or you can split a region in logic and to rename them as individual files i press ctrl-F and ask logic to save them as "xxxfile1" - or with out the "1" i can't remember - and it saves them all incrementally.
    Hope this helps

  • How to associate audio file with progress bar

    Hi all,
    I have a case in which I need to associate an audio file witha  progress bar. What I want to do is to able to play a audio file which will say " Process started.." Process going on" and process ends, and it shoud be synchronized with the progress bar. Is there a way to do this .
    Please let me know
    Thanks,

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Are you referring to a LabVIEW horizontal/vertical progress bar, which basically has a U8 integer constantly written to it? Is this in a loop as it fills up?
    If so, there is an entire palette that allows you to play waveforms. As you're writing to your progress bar the number, you can keep checking what that number is (event or case structure), and when it hits particular values, you play particular sounds. Here is a screenshot of that palette.

  • Repurposing audio with cover art

    Long before there was such a thing as an "enhanced podcast" I attempted to achieve the same result with a playlist of audio files, each with it's own cover art. This worked reasonably well, especially on later models of the iPod where you could get the image to stay at its largest size,
    Today, I would like to repurpose those files but I can't seem to get the audio (male voice narration) tp play correctly in a GB track. When I drag one of these *.aiff files to a GB track, it sounds like superfast chipmunks. When I play the same file in GB using the Media Browser, it sounds as it should.
    How do I get a voice narration audio file to play back as it was recorded?
    Might this problem be due to the cover art associated with each audio file? Where is the cover art stored anyway? Is it embedded in the audio file somehow? If so, can it be extracted?
