Exporting Files/Tracks for sending to others - consolidating.....

Hi.
I have to send over some files to someone for mixing. Is the best way to do it:
1. consolidate each track and export - if so how do you consolidate regions to 0?
OR
2. Bounce each track individually from 0 ?
Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks, Ben

"Export All Tracks As Audio Files" is the way to go. It was added in Logic 7 for this very purpose. It will automatically create audio files that start from bar 1, beat 1. It has always worked flawlessly here. There are a few points to remember however.
It will export both audio regions, as well as MIDI regions (using Audio Instruments).
It will export ALL tracks on your arrange page. so make sure that only the tracks you want to be exported appear on the arrange page. I can't remember if hidden tracks get exported as well, but be aware of it at least.
Plug-ins on the tracks get recorded, so if you want the sound of a plug-in on there, leave it on. If not, remove it prior to exporting.
Automation is NOT included. If you need automation included, solo the track, and then bounce it.
Aux tracks, used as outputs for multi-channel instruments like Ultrabeat, EXS, etc... doe NOT get exported. Again, utilize the bounce feature for this.
Make sure you name the Audio object of each track, not the track itself. This is because, when exporting, the exported track will take the name of the audio object FIRST, and then the name of the track. So if you have named the audio object "kick drum:, your new audio file will have the same name.
If, however, you named the TRACK "kick drum", the bounced audio file will read "Audio 01-kick drum".
I always suggest, when getting ready to export, save a version of the song with a name like "Song Title-for exporting". Then, on this newly saved version, you can get rid of tracks that won't be exported, remove plug-ins, etc...
That way, your original remains intact.

Best way to export individual tracks for mixing on other software

I've recorded a song with my band, it has 14 tracks in total.
We have a friend who is a pretty good engineer and I want to export the tracks from GB to give him so he can mix/master.
What is the best way of doing this?
I've done a bit of googling and found two options:
(1) Find the GB track in the finder and use the 'show package contents' to locate each individual part
(2) Solo each track and use the GB share function
I have concerns with both options, with (1) not all the tracks begin at the start of the song so I will end up with lots of tracks of random length with no way to sync them properly.
With option (2) I am concerned GB will do it's own mixing and not give me the raw versions.
Any advice?
Oh, and a quick other question. If I have recorded vocals for verse 1 on track 1 and then the chorus on track 2, I can click and drag the chorus section onto track 1 but click & drag needs a steady hand not to get it slightly out of place. Is there a keyboard shortcut for this?
Thanks

how i'd do it ... since i'm going with the export route (and in this case i would definitely go that route rather then trying to piece together all the bits and keep them in time), i'd want to start my (continued) project with everything at their best levels possible, i wouldn't want to waste any of my 24 bits
Thanks for the reply.
On this one issue, however, I would think that raising the volume on GB tracks prior to exporting to another DAW would have no effect on the number of bits used or wasted. The number of bits used would be an issue during the initial recording, and then when creating the eventual stereo mix. But the intermediary stage at which you transfer from GB to another DAW is "bit agnostic." Aside from transferring the files, there's nothing special about if from an audio perspective - increasing volume can't create more "original" information on each track/bit beyond the initial recording. Rather, it's the equivalent of adding a digital volume level increase on a track which you can do at any stage, like after the tracks arrive in their new DAW, with the same effect.
In other words, as I understand it, increasing the levels in GB prior to bringing them into another DAW or after you bring them into another DAW is equivalent as far as the original (or ultimate) meaningful bit information is concerned. Therefore, you might as well provide the tracks in as unadulterated form as possible, and allow the engineer of the subsequent DAW to apply any digital effects, including volume increase, as needed.
at a technical level, that's probably true. however GB does not output garbage, under the hood it's the same engine that logic uses. it may be a consumer level GUI, but the guts are professional level.
Absolutely!

Q abt. "Server Side File Tracking for Mobile Home Sync"

I am following the steps "To optimize the file server for mobile accounts" which are listed on page 157 in Mac OS X Server v10.6 - User Management :
In Server Admin, click the disclosure triangle for the server hosting network home folders for mobile accounts.
If Firewall isn’t listed, select the server, click Settings, click Services, select Firewall, and then click Save.
Select Firewall, click Settings, and then click Services.
Choose the address range for your users’ computers from the “Edit Services for” pop-up menu.
Select “Allow only traffic from ‘ipaddress’ to any of these ports,” select the Allow checkbox for Mobile Account Sync (port 2336), and then click Save.
Select the server, click Settings, and then click General.
Select “Server Side File Tracking for Mobile Home Sync” and then click Save.
My questions is:
In step 2, I added "Firewall" to the services. I continued with the following steps, but nowhere does it say to press the button "Start Firewall", so as of right now Firewall is listed, but not activated - it's gray and not green. Should I turn on the Firewall Service? In my setup, a cable modem/router is acting Firewall between WAN and LAN (small private home network).

I can't get Server Side File Tracking to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Here's what I've done:
1. Followed the instructions in "Mac OS X Server v10.6 - User Management" as per the first post in this thread.
2. Tried turning on the Firewall Service - resulting in clients unable to log in to their network accounts.
3. In Server Admin, under Firewall>Settings>Services, with 192.168-net selected in the pop-up menu entitled "Editing services for", I then chose "Allow all traffic" (instead of "Allow only traffic to these ports:") as my router acts as a Firewall in my setup. Now users can log in to their network accounts again, but Server Side File Tracking is still not working. How do I know it is not working?
According to infinite vortex in this other thread, the syncing window is supposed to only show this:
On my clients, you can see it scan through the home directory before the file copying/syncing actually starts.

System date in file name for Sender Configuration

Hi all,
I need to retrieve some files every day from my source directory, using the system date as a mask for the filename. Is it possible to do any kind of dynamic configuration for Sender Adapter? I only need to read the files with the current system date every day.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
>
only need to read the files with the current system date every day.
Sorry failed to see this.
Not currently possible without workarounds in XI.
1. Use a Staging folder where the senduing system will put the files. Write a shell script which will move only the current date files to the folder on which XI is polling. Here , you can use wild card characters.
2. Module option , not sure how it will work. You will be doing an I?O inside the module code and this is not recommended. Also, what will be the trigger for your interface if you are planning to use a module to read the files on the basis of System Date.

Exporting multiple tracks for podcast?

I recorded the voices for a podcast on the first track, and put some jingles/bumper music music on the second track. When I tried to Share>Export song to disk, it only exported one track or the other. How do I export multiple tracks?
Thanks.

Don't know if there's something glitchy with podcast exports, but unless you have one Track soloed or muted they should both export. Make sure there's no Ducking turned on.

I need help. How to export split track for Final Cut Pro 7 Thanks

I need help. I have edited a film and now the company I have made the film for want a split track of it. I have no idea how to export a split track off Final Cut Pro 7 and I need simple language to explain it to me as I am a beginner. Thanks

I assume you have multiple tracks of audio? And the audio is distributed discretely over these tracks (sync sound on tracks 1 and 2, sound effects on tracks 3 and 4, music on tracks 5 and 6 for example)?
Then duplicate your sequence by clicking on the icon for your sequence in the FCP browser and control-clicking on it. From the drop-down menu choose Duplicate. Double click on the duplicate sequence you just created to load it to the timeline and canvas.
Now, working on the copy you just made of your finished sequence, click anywhere on the timeline, and type Command + 0 {zero} to bring up your sequence settings. Click on the Audio Outputs Tab.
Once the Audio Output Tab opens, set the Outputs to the desired number of discrete tracks you want to export - in this case I will set it to 8, as I have sync sound on tracks 1 & 2, Voice Over on tracks 3 & 4, Sound Effects on tracks 5 & 6 and Music on tracks 7 & 8.
Once I do that the 8 tracks appear. I set them all to Dual Mono as I want them to be discrete tracks:
Once I am done, I click OK and return to the far left side of the timeline where the audio selectors are, and carefully control - clicking in the empty space above the lock symbol,
From the drop down menu I assign the output of each track - track 1 to to output track 1, track 2 to output track 2, doing so to each track:
You need to set the output for each track. Once all my track assignments are done, I go to the menu File > Export . . . > QuickTime Movie and export my sequence, but now it is exporting with 8 discrete tracks of audio.
To do a quick check that everything is OK, re-import the movie you just exported back into FCP, and open it in the Viewer and you will see that it does indeed have the multi-tracks, as 8 mono track tabs appear at the top of the viewer.
Now give that QuickTime a name that includes "Split Tracks" in the title and copy it to your delivery drive.

Export file size for youtube

Hi
After reading some of the comments regardind new users I am a little hesitant to pose my question . This is my first post.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained, so here goes.
I have a Panasonic X900 video camera which produces excellent shots at full HD1080i .(PAL AVCHD))
The file coming from the camera is a .M2TS which I gather is a mpeg variation. A typical shot of 3 minutes is over 300meg.
I usually create a sequence from the clip and then edit the clip.
So far so good when I am exporting for use on a DVD.
I have been asked to video someone doing a dance sequence and to place this on YouTube.
(Original file size 300meg)Trying numerous settings, the smallest I can get my output file is using H.264 with a YouTube SD 360 wide screen Preset and this gives me 28meg.
I see numerous .MP4 videos on YouTube of 10 minutes or so and they are still only around 50meg and have reasonable full screen quality.
I have tried importing one of those and creating a sequence from it but they are normally NTSC and 29fps .
On the above basis, if I filmed a 9 minute clip and exported it as H.264 etc it would still be approx 70meg.
I have tried reducing the target bitrate and it certainlyreduces file size but poor quality.
If this is the best that can be achieved, then so be it.
Any suggestions on how to get a reasonable quality result while keeping the file size reasonable would be appreciated.
Regards
Brian

Exporting play lists for use in other media software?

I'm putting up an online mix hosted from my site and would like people to be aboe to play the tracks back in the order I predetermined in iTunes. I know some software besides iTunes allows sort by track number but that is sort of impractical in this situation...
is there a 'standard' play list file type I can extract, like a .m3u? or am I SOL?
thanks, ES

There are two kinds of metadata involved when you consider jpeg or other image file.
One is the file data. This is what the Finder shows. This tells you nothing about the contents of the file, just the File itself.
The problem with File metadata is that it can easily change as the file is moved from place to place or exported, e-mailed, uploaded etc.
Photographs have also got both Exif and IPTC metadata. The date and time that your camera snapped the Photograph is recorded in the Exif metadata. Regardless if what the file date says, this is the actual time recorded by the camera.
Photo applications like iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop etc get their date and time from the Exif metadata.
When you export from iPhoto to the Finder new file is created containing your Photo (and its Exif). The File date is - quite accurately - reported as the date of Export.
However, the Photo Date doesn't change.
The problem is that the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
So, your photo has the correct date, and so does the file, but they are different things. To sort on the Photo date you'll need to use a photo app.

Export audio track for third-party mixing

I want to export my FCE audio track so I can mix it using Cubase. All I can see to do is to export it as a Quicktime movie, but I think I need to retain the format as AIFF, or perhaps MPEG-4. What can I do?

Use QuickTime Conversion. Change to format popup to Sound to AIFF.

Exported files too large for email loop

I work with an online writers critique group. Since the most recent update, all files that I exported from Pages to Word to email to the loop have been rejected as being over 500KB.
While the critiqued documents are in Pages format, I see a Reduce File Size option in the dropdown menu. When I click it, I receive the message that all media files are at their optimum size.
Does anyone have a solution?

I don't know of any way to reduce file sizes for Pages output other than to export them to PDF and then use Acrobat's file compression option to squeeze out the junk. There also are other apps out there for compressing PDFs. There are apps for converting PDFs to Word. However, I do not think the PDF loop will solve the problem. When the stuff comes back into Pages or Word, the overhead of these apps will be added to the text.
My suggestion is for your group to switch to Acobat PDF for review. We use Acrobat PDF files for reviewers. That way we do not have to worry about what word processing app a reviewer has installed, including on iPads and other tablets. Acrobat has extensive features for annotation and comment. And, Acrobat has excellent file comparison, which is character accruate.
I hop this is helpful.

Duplicate value in export file

Hi,
I have a sql report where I have implemented download to excel using the print attribute. When I export the report into Excel, there are few columns whose values getting duplicated in the spreadsheet where as those column values are blank in the report.
for example.
Query:
select col1 col2 col3 col4 from table1;
The report displays the correct value for col1 col2 col3 col4 but in the export file value for col1, col2, col3 are correct but col4 is picking up the value of col3.
Any help? Thanks.

Hi Scott,
Could you please have a look at it.

Need File Association for Crystal Reports v.11

Post Author: pts123
CA Forum: General
Policy Accounting is testing a new suspense processing application that relies on Crystal Reports v.11 for report delivery. Currently this report (SUSPENSE_DETAIL_REPORT.rpt) is located in the
kcsan03\Policy\PortalDocuments\Suspense directory. It is also crawled into the portal in the following location.
Knowledge Directory : Intranet : Departments : Policy Accounting : Suspense
However, when a user clicks on the report link, (either in the portal knowledge directory or from the file itself in the
kcsan03\Policy\PortalDocuments\Suspense directory), Crystal Reports v.7 is launched rather than Crystal Reports v.11.
Is there a way to get the report to open with Crystal Reports v.11? This appears to be a file association issue and potentially involves all of the users in the SUSProc active directory group.
The new suspense processing application is currently in test and is scheduled to go live on June 15, 2007. We need to test in the final location (
kcsan03\Policy\PortalDocuments\Suspense) prior to our go live date. Any assistance in resolving this issue is much appreciated. Becky Clark previously assisted me on other tickets involving the Crystal Reports v.11 application.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.

Hi Mike,
From CR XI R2 and CR2008 You can export the reports to MS excelt 97-2003 version i.e., 65K records only.
Using CR2011 and CR2013 You can export the reports to MS Excel 2007 version i.e., Xlsx format.
Check the below documents for your refernece.

Export from PC for Mac use.

I'm a PC and need to export files suitable for a Mac user. Currently files are NTSC DV avi's. What generic format to export so they can view and/or play in iMovie etc.
I'm sure it's Quicktime mov but there are so many different flavours/codecs and I don't use Mac so where to start? I'm on CS5.5 and I also have Quicktime Pro.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know anything about imovie, but NTSC DV is the native SD format for Premiere on mac.

Export file @ 10 GB

An "All Data" essbase export file (.txt) went to 10 gb's while the rest are 2 gb each. Anyone ever seen this behavior before, and will there be an impact while re-importing? Thanks. Kizi.

Hi! We have the same issue since 2005, and everything goes fine with such big files. we can export data and re-import it from files more than 2gb. We run Essbase on Windows. There was the case #589327 to Support and the answer was: ---------------- Essbase does not export its data in "chunks", so the export file sizes may differ. Basically, it will export until it gets a message from the OS back like "i am full now", then it generates the next file. So on Windows systems it is quite common to have export files > 2GB (and, on the other hand, on Unix systems this is kind of uncommon.). As a workaround you may try to use PAREXPORT into so many files that each one should not exceed the 2GB limit. ----------------- So, don't worry! Regards, Georgy
