Export to Disk sounds different

The sound of my songs seems to change when I export them. I have auto-normalize turned off, I'm exporting to AIFF, and no I don't have any EQ, sound enhancer or sound check turned on in iTunes. In fact when I drag the AIFF in as another track in the same GB project, the sound is different between the two tracks (original and exported guitar recording). Exported version sounds "sweetened", more treble and bass.
Anyone?

Garageband 1 and 2 have the same flaw. 8^) Exporting to iTunes is the "official" Apple way. I would create a special playlist for your GB exports so you can keep track of them and delete them as necessary.

Exported file sounds different inside Audition CS6 - audio channel mapping problem?

Hi guys. I've been working on some voice reels today, and for some reason my finished and exported files sound different to how they sound in Audition - basically, the music tracks increase in volume whenever the voice actor isn't speaking. As mentioned, this isn't happening in the Multitrack session, just when playing back the exported track in a third-party app, and has only been happening today. I've tried messing around with the Audio Channel Mapping and Audio Hardware settings in the Preferences, without any joy. I'm suspecting something's got messed up on the sound card, but just wanted to check that I haven't missed something painfully obvious inside of Audition!
Specs:
Windows 7 Home Premium, SP1, 64-bit
AMD Phenom II X64 2.8 GHz, 8GB RAM
Adobe Creative Suite 6 Production Premium
M-Audio Delta Audiophile 2496
NVIDIA GeForce GTX650Ti 2GB

Can't answer that without quite a bit more information about the third-party apps, what exactly you're exporting, workflow, etc. It won't be a mapping issue though - that will only affect the output of Audition to a hardware device.
But if you are exporting a single file with everything on, and it plays okay in Windows Media Player, for instance, then whatever is happening isn't with Audition, but whatever you are putting it back into. It sounds as though some sort of auto-leveling system is at work - and Audition wouldn't do that unless set up very specifically to do so.

NewBe question - Effects not exporting to disk

Hi,
I've been experimenting with GB. I have a Video with with an audio track that is very low. I imported the video into GB selected instrument with the audio on it. then on the info window clicked on edit and added the AUGraphicEQ to work bring up the levels. I have it sounding okay in GB. However when I go to share >> export to disk >> full quality, the output is the same as the input.
I have also tried to turn off the track effect and apply it to the master, same result. I also tried to perform some effects on a jiggle track and export and mp3 with the same result.
Basically I cannot figure out how to get the effects I hear in GB to become an output file.
Any direction or thoughts are appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Normally the effects should be on the exported audio file. Are you sure that they are not applied? Or is the level just too low? Try to turn off the auto-normalize feature in GB's preferences.

GB will not Export to Disk???

Working with GB 3.0.4 on iMac G4. I have created a video podcast. Upon completion I have been trying to Share / Export to Disk. I assign the location for saving as my Movie folder. GB goes through the Mixing, converting, compressing all right and all seems to be in order when the process is done. But upon completion, I check in the Movies folder and the file isn't there. I cannot locate it using Spotlight either. I have been able to export other video podcasts to disk prior to this. Any ideas?

Sounds to me like it is having trouble with its video
codec. Have you tried any of the other export options?
Regarding Garageband not Exporting to Disk.......
I created a new Garageband file and placed a short video into the Podcast track. Added some text and jingles. Then did a Share/Export file to disk. All went as expected but there are 4 steps involved in the export....Mixing, Converting, Compressing and Finishing. The file that would not export did not complete the last step, Finishing. The test sample did and the file was exported to my desktop as directed. So, I then created another new podcast....imported my movie into the podcast track......copied narration from the "bad" podcast into the new one....added my jingles and then did Share / Export file to disk. This time the podcast completed all four steps and the file in m4v format was placed onto my desktop as directed. The first garageband podcast was corrupted or had some defect that did not allow the 4th "finishing" step to happen (writing the file name to the assigned disk space). Hope it doesn't happen again.

Exported songs dont sound right..

I noticed when i record something, it sounds great (to me) through garage band. I usually export to disk, and sometimes tracks are a lot lower volume that what i heard through GB. I did one track with a lead guitar that was plenty loud in GB, and could barely hear it as exported mp4

Not sure what the answer is because I'm getting the same thing. One of my songs gets this weird echo effect on my ipod and the other one the guitar sound is faded way back and I can hardly hear it although I can hear the vocals and other instruments just fine. Weird.

Audio sounds different from DVDSP to Build File

I have a background audio track that sounds different when I view my VIDEO_TS folder using Apple DVD Player. In my FCP file, my exported AIF, my exported AC3, and within the DVDSP simulator, the audio sounds perfectly fine.
But when I make a build and view it in Apple DVD Player, it sounds very different. I'd describe the resulting sound as having more 'contrast': the 'loud' parts are the same, but the quiet parts are moderately quieter. Any idea what's going on?

What dialogue normalisation setting did you use (in A. Pack, or Compressor) for your Dolby Digital coding to create the .AC3s? If you use the default setting of -27dB, a (correctly set-up) player will change the audio levels on playback. If you change the setting to -31dB before coding, the levels are left alone on playback.
(There is a lot of material about Dolby Digital on their web-site, if you require "further reading".)

Exporting to disk leaves "quiet time" at the end

Hi,
When I export the song to disk (Share->Export to Disk) the resulting MP3 file has quiet time (more or less 4 seconds) after the loop music is played.
I need it to end immediately after loop end (so that the sound file will loop properly in another application). Is there any way to fix this?
OR
Is there any way to mark the region that we want to export ?
Thanks

Midi loops in browser sound different in arrange window controller messages

I have a problem with controller messages as well with fx
I audition a midi loop it has FX and then drag it to arrange window
sounds different, I know of ther is another topic about the FX,
But as well controller messages not being read right
say a Timpani loop, foot controller is not reading
so the timpani roll is gone

This is not a problem, it's intentional design.
The preview audio contains reverb for these instruments, because the sound is in context - it let's you hear it how you are typically going to use it, and use can use it as an audio loop without problems.
When you load it as MIDI, it does not add another reverb to the channel because it assume you are going to use a global reverb, rather than add individual reverbs per channel - this is the generally better way of doing it, and avoids new users having a hundred reverbs on individual channels when they only need one.
As for articulations switched by MIDI, the preview audio can contain only one sample, but if there are different articulations, they need to be played/switched accordingly.
It's not a bug, it's the way it works for flexibility in the main. You have to remember, that when stepping up from a entry-level program to a professional one, a lot of hand-holding that the entry level programs do is no longer there, and so you can feel like the pro version is "less good" than the entry one. This is not the case - professional users do not need hand-holding, and that generally gets in the way.

MIDI Loops sound different in preview

I'm a new user to Logic, and I'm confused about the green (MIDI) loops. When I preview one it sounds one way, but will sound different when I drag it to my arrangement, even when having it create a new track. On many of them it sounds like it's just missing some reverb, but the change is more drastic in others, eg. "Desire A Cellos", where it sounds like the wrong samples have been loaded.
Also I noticed that it loads instruments like "strings" and "piano" where I would expect it to be using the more sophisticated EXS sampler.
Is this normal?
If I listen to a loops like "Concert Hall Piano 4" it sounds way more realistic in the preview than it does when I let it play the MIDI in my track. My first thought is that this must be because the "Piano" instrument doesn't know how to handle the extra midi data such as expression.
Is anyone else having this problem, and what can I do to fix it?
Thanks,
-Emil

To answer this question, loops are created to be used with Garageband, so all of the instruments selected will use Garageband instruments.
The other more important question....I DON'T KNOW! Great question, I'm having the same issue with mine. I hope someone can shed some light on this. If you double click the 'strings' instrument in the channelstrip where you have your 'Desire A Cellos' and select the 'Cellos Pizzicato' preset instead of the 'Cellos' preset that is selected, you get much closer. It seems like it has defaulted to the wrong setting. Your right though, there's definitely some verb there too. And also, if you then change your song key, the loop in the arrange window should change with it, but mine is not.
HOWEVER....If you drag a GREEN loop into an audio channel instead of a MIDI channel, it will create an audio file loop (like the blue loops). As far as I can tell, they sound exactly as they should, and they do change keys. Still though, very strange. Perhaps tis a bug??

Midi Apple Loops sound different when dragged on to song

When ever I drag a green midi loop from Apple Loops to my song it sounds different. All the effects are gone. I tried to put som reverb on it but it doesn't sound like it does wheyn played in the Apple Loops bar.
How can I use the green midi loops from Apple Loops as they sound there with that effect. The blue audio Apple Loops works fine.
I had this same problem in Logic Pro 9

There are some differences between the audio file previews contained in the loop and the actual data, sometimes by error, sometimes intentionally so.
For instance, if you preview an orchestral instrument, you hear it with reverb, as that's kinda how it's intended to sound, but when you drag it into Logic proper, you don't get reverb - because you will have one global reverb you send all the orchestral instrument too, rather than a hundred individual reverbs on each instrument.
Stuff like that. It varies, but there's nothing broken as such.

How to export swf file in different versions of flash like (6,7,8,9) ?

Hi,
    System Specification :
    -XP with SP3
    -MS Office 2003
    -Flash V.10
    -Xcelsius Engage 2008 ( 5.3.0.0 )
    -Xcelsius Build number 12,3,0,670
   When I export output in swf format then xcelsius generating swf file of version 9. I want to export swf file in different versions of flash like (6,7,8,9) . I tried to install older versions of flash to do this but I am not able to open xcelsius in older version. I am getting error saying 'Install latest flash player'.
Is there any way to export swf files in different versions?
Is this build is compatible with only flash 10?
Thanks,
Ganesh

Xcelsius only support Flash version from 9 on. There is no way to export to 6,7 or 8.

Export to Disk with 64 bit version

I need to be able to export images that I have edited in LR3 to disk to give to someone and the dialog box tells me that this is not possible in the 64 bit version. I had to go back to Bridge to do this and my changes to the images were not seen in Bridge. If I run LR on an xp machine that is not 64 bit will I be able to export to disk? Does this mean that I need to use LR on my old machne or use Bridge on my 64 bit machnine? This mkaes LR much less attractive and useful especially if these are my only answers.

I just learned about this limitation the hard way. It's not excuse that the
Adobe vendor for burning does not support 64 bit. It's Adobe's responsibiility to make their software function. Get a new vendor asap. I'm mad.

My Sine Wave File sounds different in Logic than iTunes

I am working on creating musical compositions with embedded sine wave patterns (which I am generating in a foriegn application). These sine waves are designed to entrain the brain to different frequencies to facilitate in stimulating meditative states of consciousness in the listener.
Unfortunately, when I import my sine wave audio file (in .wav format) Logic changes it and the rhythm is frequency is twice as fast! When I play the file in iTunes it sounds just the way I generated it, but when I import it into Logic through the audio bin or simply drag and drop onto the arrange window, it sounds different and cannot work for the precise control I require for my compositions.
Does any one have any idea why this is happening or what I can do to import my audio file without changing it?
Thank you so much for any ideas/assistance,
Devlin Dewitt Donnelly

Hi DD Smooth,
you should check sample rate settings on your original audio files and make them match the sample rate settings on your logic project prior to importing them. Sounds like you are generating 48khz .wav files in your foreign app and Logic must be set to 44.1khz by default. Or the other way around

Why audio sounds different in the Mountain Lion over 10.6

Hi
I just upgraded my system OS 10.6.8 to the latest 10.8.4, and I found that audio on the 10.8.4 sounds different.
I did some tests and I can say that audio when listening on the 10.8.4 has less bass content and the hi-mids are more agressive.
I running the audio studio on my Mac Pro and this was a big dissapointment for me.
Also I rendered audio file from Logic Pro 9 on the both system and they are the same, but when you listening on the 10.6.8 it sounds correct while on 10.8.4 sounds different. I have the same audio drivers from RME Fireface 800 on both systems. In tests I used identical Logic arrangement file on both systems.
I just don't like the sound on the new system at all. It is worse than it was on the 10.6.8.
I switched to the Snow Leopard again and I regret that I puchased your latest OS. Why it is done? Apple?

This may be a topic for either of these other Apple forums to discuss: Other Pro Audio, Logic Pro

Exporting Multiple Artboards of Different Formats Easily

I have one document with multiple artboards. I need to export each artboard with different formats and ppi. Is there a way I can do this quickly and efficiently without having to export each artboard individually? Thank you in advance for your time, insight, and help.

Thanks for the reply Wade.
It an unusual sitatution. I have a whole document created in illustrator. I'm handing it over to a client for them to work on in-house and they've requested an inDesign file. Ideally I'd like a way of exporting my ai file into an indd file. Haven't been able to find a way of doing this at the moment.
