Exporting mono audio tracks as mono audio tracks with video tracks

hello,
i'm working with dv pal 48 khz digitized files. when i import the files into fcp7, i have a video track and 4 different mono audio tracks. my plan is to modify each individual mono track, after exporting each as aif, editing them, and then importing them back as aif. the problem is that when i've built a sequence with 1 video track and 4 different mono audio tracks, there doesn't seem to be a way to end up with 4 different mono audio tracks like the original, it appears that the only option is to end up with 2 stereo tracks. can someone help me with this, which i'm sure is a very odd problem?
kind regards,
charlie

If you are editing the audio with Soundtrack Pro you can use the "send to" command. It will send your project as a multi-track file so that each track can be editited independently or you can add elements to all four.
If you have Logic, add it to the "external audio editors" list and you can use it in the same way as STP.

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.

Out of sync audio file with video

I have a audio clip that was recorded seperatly from video. I add the audio track which is voice to the video that I have of a person giving speach. I line them up where speach begins and is in sync but say 10 mins into it the clips are out of sync! They should both be in the same time but they are not, how do I fix this?

Once you've determined answers to David's queries,
you will have a better idea of ways to fix
this...i.e. if the audio rates are not aiff and
exactly 48.0Khz/16bit, you could export the audio
into a new file with those parameters and replace
current audio with this file.
Actually, I tried that last night as well after reading this forum. I sent the good audio (aif) to SoundTrack Pro and resampled the file at 48khz to match the sequence settings. Unforunately, this still did not fix the problem.
I also looked at changing the base timing rate from 29.97fps to 30, but I coudn't see a way to change this. I tried changing it from the Advanced settings from the Sequence Settings Dialog, and I can change to 30, but it then gives an error message that it cannot do that.
The idea of a speed change is one I hadn't thought of, but I am doubtful of the results. I seem to be either stuck with bad audio or arduously cutting up the audio every 5 minutes to get it back in sync at those intervals.... I wish I understood why this is happening. It doens't make sense to me.
I still think it has to do with drop frame/non-drop frame, since I was told the whole point of 29.97fps was t solve an audio sync problem. When the audio isn't coming from a video source recorded or captured at 29.97fps then we are going to have sync problems. The question is, now to get it back into sync with these external audio source files, without a lot of headache.

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!

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:

Sync 'n Link can be found here:

Synching a separate audio file with video

Hello, I was hoping someone might be able to help.
I have a video file but I am trying to sync a audio file to the video.. Not the video's original audio recording but a different file. Basically I have a recorded live band performance and I also have a direct out audio recording of same song (which is better quality than the video recorders internal mic) I want to sync the direct audio to the video.. The biggest issue is the tempos of the video and the direct audio recording are different. Can you set the tempo of the video file to the audio or vice versa? Can this be done in FCE or is this something for Logic Express.?
Thanks for the help

This is a BEAR!
First need to know much more and even then, oh well...
(a) You say the sound from the board has a different "tempo" than the sound from your on board Mic. or camera. Were both recorded at the same time and place? (b) When you say "tempo" do you mean that when you import the sound from the board (that was recorded to a CD?) into FCE and place on the timeline that the synch "drifts"? (c) Are you first finding a common "synch point" to begin with? (d) Your camera was set to 16 bit 48 kHz, right? What are "the properties" of the sound from the CD created on the board?
If you are indeed finding a common synch point - that is, if you are synching by eye and the synch then "drifts" because the 2 have different "properties", then you will have to either use a cutaway every time you re-synch by eye to a common "cue" or use a D.A.W. or sound editing program that allows you to import a "movie" and has speed and pitch controls that you will have to constantly tweak. This is a formidable undertaking even for a pro but can be done. Say you do that, tho. This "tweaking" will change the quality of the sound at best and sound "wavy" at worse, so...
bottom line - I'd try to enhance the sound you recorded in camera with filters and an equalizer in any DAW that you can import a "movie" into like Garage Band or just do it in FCExpress itself and learn that next time you are shooting a live musical event, plug your camera into the board to begin with... via balanced cable. Careful to tape your XLR cable run down well.
Maybe a sound engineer might be able to help more. Ask on a Pro Tools or Logic board?
Good Luck -
B.S.

How to keep audio synchronized with video when exporting?

I have a few .mp4 source files that I'd like to combine into a single file. I've done the editing and exported. When played, the audio is misaligned to the video. As a test, I've tried exporting a single clip rather than joining a few and the same thing happens. I end up with audio that is misaligned to the video after export even though they are perfectly synched in the source video. As another test I've tried exporting a single clip to .mpeg rather than .mp4 and the audio stays perfectly synched with the video. It seems the misalignment occurs whenever I export to .mp4. I'm obviously missing a fundemental concept here. Can anyone shed some light on it for me? Thanks in advance.

Hi Rafeek,
One solution is to set the column width after manually or programmatically refresh the PivotTable, for example:
Private Sub Worksheet_PivotTableUpdate(ByVal Target As PivotTable)
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Application.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
ws.Columns("A").ColumnWidth = 10
End Sub
Another option is to set the column width, then protect the columns from been updated by the user, before refreshing the PivotTable, unprotect the worksheet. For example:
Public Sub LockColumnA()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Application.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
ws.Columns("A").ColumnWidth = 10
ws.Columns("A").Locked = True
ws.Protect "123"
End Sub
Public Sub UnprotectWorksheet()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Application.ActiveWorkbook.ActiveSheet
ws.Unprotect ("123")
End Sub

How do I sync a audio recording with video?

Hi,
I recorded a concert using my DSLR and a separate sound recorder. What is the easiest way to sync these two up in PE10? I had hoped that at the least I could compare the wave files of both the original recording on the camera with the separate recording. But PE10 only shows the wave file of the recording from the camera. The wav file from the recorder is just shown as a green bar. Any ideas?
cheers
bill

First, what is the file format, and its specs. for the remote recorder?
Though the rates of modern cameras and digital recorders SHOULD match 100%, in the real-world, they seldom do. This make perfect syncing a labor intensive process.
One should do tests between the cameras and the recorders, to find out the % or error. Then, adjust their Audio to match first. As an example, one user in the PrPro Forum tested his Panasonic cameras, and his Zoom recorders, and found that the Zooms were off by 0.04% constantly. To correct this, he used the Time Remapping (with Maintain Pitch checked), and would apply that adjustment to all of the Zooms' files - perfect sync.
As for the Waveform not displaying for your remote recorder, did you allow those files to completely Conform (creation of the CFA and PEK files, the latter is the Waveform Display)? See this article: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/726693?tstart=30
Also, you should be able to increase the vertical zoom of your Audio Tracks, and hence any Clips on them, by hovering the Cursor over the junction between Tracks, in the Track Header, and when it turns into a = sign, with up/down arrows, click+drag. Then, you should be able to find commonality in the beginning, to sync up to. Tip: for this critical work, toggle the Snap feature OFF, with the S key.
Good luck,

S/PDIF out produces static when playing audio, sometimes with video

This is my first install of Arch Linux, and I am a bit of a noob. I started using Arch because I wanted to learn, and it's been absolutely perfect--I actually love it so far, and this is the first major problem I've had. Most of the Arch documentation has been exceptional, however I've been working at this all afternoon and haven't come up with a solution. SO, here goes nothing:
My motherboard has a few analog, S/PDIF optical and coaxial, and HDMI audio outputs as native (although HDMI runs through an onboard Radeon 6xx family card). I use S/PDIF because my receiver doesn't have HDMI inputs.
The specifics:
In gnome-alsamixer, I have three tabs: USB Mixer, ATI R6xx HDMI, and Realtek ALC887-VD. The first tab has one PCM volume control, the ATI tab has nothing but a IEC958 checkbox at the bottom, and the Realtek tab has everything from master to input to surround sound settings.
In the console alsamixer, going to Select sound card has three options: 0 USB Audio CODEC, 1 HD-Audio Generic, and 2 HDA ATI SB. These correspond to the same three tabs above in the GUI. Selecting 1 shows an SPDIF output with no way to change the volume, only to mute or un-mute. WTF!
In GNOME sound settings, Output tab, I have for output selected Built-in Audio Digital Stereo (IEC958) with Connector: Digital Output (S/PDIF) selected at the bottom. In the Hardware tab I've selected Built-in Audio (1 Output, Digital Stereo (IEC958) Output). For some reason this program seems to prefer the first Built-In Audio option, which has two settings: Off, and HDMI audio. I do NOT want to use HDMI audio. It is currently turned off.
Some outputs that might be helpful:

edit: skipping around on VLC while playing movies can produce some normal audio after a few seconds of static, however audio files have proven uesless. VLC is the only program that will play them so far and they've all been static.

Premier elements 10 audio sync with video

Hi,
I am new to elements.
I imported into a new project a video that also had audio as a new project.
It is a 14 minute clip.
Somehow at minute 3:19, the audio starts from the beginning again, totally ruining the movie.
I have spent all day trying to fix this.
I have uninstalled and deleted everything adobe premiere, and then reinstalled it all a couple times.
I have renamed the video and tried to import it again, but still the audio problem.
I have used Wondershare dvd builder to make the movie, the audio is fine, but adobe should be able to correct my video white balance, so I really want to use it.
I have played the video clip in media player 10, and quick time, and the audio is fine there also.
Either elements has a bug, or somehow I messed something up within elements for this clip.
I am also using in the same movie, a 6 minute clip that doesn't have this issue.
Does anyone know how to correct this?
Along the way, I also have unlinked the audio and video, chopped the first 3:19 and dragged it over, but I can't get it exact.
Since I know the source file is not the problem, I just want to somehow get rid of whatever is saved causing this, and use the correct file

These saved notes are about different models, but reading MAY help

Audio unsynced with video when capturing analog HD with Kona LHe card!

Hey,
This is kind of an emergency because i am in the process of logging a feature film. I am using the Kona LHe card to capture analog audio and video with the JVC BR-HD50 HDV deck. It is 720p24 HDV footage converted to analog DVCProHD 720p59.94 footage through the Kona. My issue is that the audio is about 4 or 5 seconds unsycned with the video...I am also getting some audio popping. The audio sounds fine when listening through the line mixer but it pops when i play back though FCP. I already contacted AJA (the makers of Kona) and they its a FCP problem...Any prompt help would be greatly appreciated...
-JE

Welcome to the forums!
What version of FCP are you running? If you can, get to the most current version as this solves a lot of issues with the DVCPRO HD codec.
And have you read this whitepaper?

Audio problems with video chat between Mac & PC

Hello,
My parents and I both recently purchased web cams to use for video chats. I am on a Mac, using an iSight through iChat, while they have a PC and are using a Logitech Quickcam 5000 through AOL IM version 5.9. I have successfully video chatted with other mac/isight users. Almost everything works fine chatting with my parents - the video works, and they can hear me. I however, am unable to hear them. I thought this might be a problem on their end, but when they open a video chat with me, an error message pops up saying that I "do not support the talk feature, or am not accepting talk invitations." They have been able to get the audio to work when doing so between two PCs using AOL IM. Is there anything I can do on my end that will let their audio come through to me?

Hi Raoul,
Welcome To The Apple Discussion Pages.
If you mean you are trying to do Audio only chats with a PC which is using AIM 5.9 or 5.5 then it will not work.
The AIM application has never been able to do Audio Only chats to iChat
One end needs to have a camera (preferably the Mac end).
The PC end stilll needs to do the "Tuning" after getting to the Porperties.
They may also need to enable the application through the XP firewall.
And it goes without saying they have to be on XP.

Audio Problem With Videos

Recently, I loaded into iTunes two episodes of the Simpsons. They're in iTunes and work when I play them, but to get them on my ipod I right clicked "convert to ipod", which after converting gave me a new video that played on my ipod, but there was no sound. Does anyone know why this might be and how I could fix it?

Audio not accompanying video in capture

Suddenly my system stopped capturing the audio associated with video clips. I'm using PP CS4 on a Mac (Leopard) and have used this configuration including this camcorder for more than a year (and have used Premiere since 2002). The exact setup successfully imports audio with video into QuickTime and iMovie but not Premiere PCS4. I've tried every setting I can think of --not that I'd altered any since it last worked--but cannot find the problem. Of course this has brought editing to a halt so any help leading to a solution will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

No waveform display on captured clips--definitely flatline.
No changes were made by me (intentionally) on settings between the time it was working and the time it wasn't. I did use another sound program in between and it was launched at the time of launching Premiere but I've sinced rebooted the computer a number of times, ensuring that that sound program (Soudsaver) was not launched and doing all the usual things of checking connections and with the camcorder, etc, everything as normal except that audio signal capture of video clips still fails.
Capture settings for video: abort for dropped frames unchecked; the other three are checked.
Capture settings for audio:
          automatch 1.0 secs.,

When i export a audio mono channel it turns into stereo

hello
something went wrong somewhere along the way, now every time i export an audio channel it forms as a stereo channel.
by the way, how can i split a stereo channel on logic 9 into two seperate mono's?

Hi,
1st: There's a little circle below the channelstrip's level meter indication mono or stereo. If it's a single circle, it's mono. If it's a double circle, it's stereo. You'll also see the level meter single or double. Look for the single or double level meter!!
2nd: Be sure you've created a mono audio track. If the track yo try to export is stereo (look at the level meters if they are doubled or not!), the resulting audio file will be stereo. That's because the export function puts the audio data through the circuitry of the track's channelstrip. If you put any Audio file, be it stereo or mono, into a mono track, the resulting export file will be mono. If you put any Audio file, mono or stereo, into a stereo track, the export's result will be stereo.
Experiment - there seem so be a little inconsistency when or when not logic switches a track from mono to stereo and back!
3rd: If you want to avoid the channelstrip alltogether, use the sample editor or the bin to convert the stereo file into split files (one for L, one for R)

How to export unmixed audio tracks

I'm trying to export unmixed master edits so I can easily re-edit at a later date, but whenever I try the result is mixed. I thought there was a simple way to pan tracks for export
G4 Powerbook; Sony 1500A Mac OS X (10.4.8)

If you're just trying to export each track to it's
own individual file, here's how to do it:
Go to your Sequence Settings>Audio Outputs
Set the Audio Outputs to the same number as you have
audio tracks (8 tracks, 8 outputs).
Set them to Dual Mono (not stereo).
Save settings, go back to your sequence.
Control Click in the track target area of each
individual audio track. The top item in the
contextual menu is Audio Output. Set each track to
it's own output.
File>Export>Audio to AIFF
Select Channel Grouped
Now you'll get an AIFF for each track in your
sequence.
Thanks. Is there a way to export a audio/video Quicktime with mono tracks 1 & 2?

How can I export an audio track with just the effect signal without the audio?

I want to export dry audio tracks and their effects signals as separate tracks. For instance a track with a reverbed snare would be one track with the dry snare and one with just the reverb.
I know from people who use Reason that it's just a box you need to tick, but I'm struggling to find out how to do it in Logic. Surely it must be a way?

I don't remember Reason being that straight forward, but the obvious way to go, is to mute all sends and bounce.
Then solo the reverb channel, in aux, checking it isn't shared by other sources, and bounce. You should have a dry and a reverbed signal, at your convenience.
