FCP into STP missing Audio files

I have been working w/out STP for a couple of years now and have been getting by okay. Now I am looking to take advantage of STP "streamlined workflow"
I can't even bring my project succesfully into STP from FCP, majority of sound won't send into STP.
I believe it is some type of setting in FCP and or STP.(audio effects originaly exported from stp into fcp will cross apps, audio taken from tape will not, sony xd sound will not)
Any Ideas

• When you opened the Song, did it tell you that files were missing (in which case, it would give you the opportunity to search for them)?
• Did you Save the Song when you finished the recording session (because if not, it won't know you recorded anything new)?
• Did you record onto a removable hard drive?
• Did you delete Regions in the Arrange Window & choose the wrong option, thereby deleting the actual audio files themselves rather than just the Regions?
There are many, many ways to go from here, so answer these questions first & we'll take it from there. The more detail you can give, the easier it will be to find out what happened & what to do about it.

How can I convert the download.m4a and Info.plist into the right audio file

The topic is actually the problem that I have.
I have bought music and it was downloaded successful (all of it) but iTunes had a strange freeze while converting the files into the right audio file. Some files were converted but after the freeze no more.
I'm now left with these .tmp folders in the downloads folder which have the download.m4a and Info.plist files.
My iTunes is able to play these download.m4a files, but they show no information and covers and this is really annoying. I could write and change it all by myself, but than I would still miss some information (and covers).
Is there any way for me to convert or combine these files?
Note: I'm not able to restart any downloads, because they were successful.

Hello ed2345,
Thanks for the help, but this is not the problem.
It's hard to describe the problem, but I'll try it again, this time with pictures.
I was left with the following folders in the iTunes Downloads folder.
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb3
These TMP Folders have a download.m4a and a Info.plist file.
After moving the audio files in iTunes a bit I get this.
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb2
As you can see no other Information for the download.m4a than the length.
That's how the .m4p file looks like
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb1
And this is how the same .m4a file currently looks
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb0
Like I said, I could edit all these download.m4a files by myself but that would leave some information out.
Note: Sorry, I hope the links do not spam you with annoying ads. I don't get any but I was told that there can be some annoying one.

Pro Tools Missing audio file message syndrom exists on Logic

I come from Pro tools and i am a bit traumatised by this fkn Pro Tools missing audio file message for those who know what i mean..
Is it something possible and frequent in logic when we work on a daily basis ?

No, you simply copy the entire project folder to a flash drive and bring it home. If you have included the audio files in the project folder, which logic does by default, logic will find them just fine at home. If it asks where they are, you just hit "search" and if they're there, If you've copied the song file to your drive without including the audio files ("pilot error") then the program can't find them. Often, I get protools sessions from clients with missing files. Sometimes the entire audio files folder is missing, but more often the missing files are out-takes that are no longer part of the arrangement, and were still in the audio file list of the song, but were not included in the folder when the project was copied and brought to me. How or why, I cannot tell you.

MPEG1 Muxed - MISSING AUDIO FILES

I have a few QT clips that are MPEG1 Muxed. When I import into FCP all I get is the video file and not the audio file. Is there a way obtaining the audio files from a Muxed clip?

Rather than demuxing with MPEG Streamclip , this demuxing advice which is tirelessly offered to many who then have no idea what to do with separate video and audio stream files, use MPEG Streamclip to export the MPEG-1 to DV and let it do the work for you in one pass. It can export to all QT formats and DV and you get the video and audio in a ready to use file. Better no?
Keep in mind MPEG-1 which is typically 352X240 at <30 fps will suffer a lot quality-wise when upsampled to 720X480 at 30 fps. There is not much data there to work with.

2 Questions: Missing audio files...and How to delete audio files

I have two nagging issues associated with my podcast at iTunes.
First, audio files are missing from the podcast. Everytime I post m4a files to my podcast, they are added to an xml file, and to the podcast. The xml file is complete, but some files are not making the trip to the podcast.
Second, I have a need to delete some of the audio files which appear in my podcast. How do I do that?
Thanks!

As has been suggested you can encourage people to download QuickTime player by doing something like this...
http://www.mirroroftheuniverse.com/Songs.html
You can also present your songs like this...
http://roddymckay.com/Satellite/JukeBox.html
This is a SnoCap jukebox and you need an account to use it but you'll get the link to ESnips on the above page.
A 3 minute song has a file size of about 30 Mb in AIFF format. Converting it to MP3 reduces it to about 3.5 Mb and M4A to about 5.5 Mb.
iTunes will do these conversions for you and M4A is far superior to MP3 as far as sound quality is concerned.

URGENT! Missing audio files from a live recording due to Logic crash

Hi,
yesterday, in the middle of a (low budget) live recording, Logic gave me an error message saying "disk too slow" and stopped recording.
I was using the internal drive. I know this is not a proper habit, but I would have never thought that Logic could complain about the drive slowness with 2 tracks/24bit/44,1khz. Instinctively I pressed * at once but this caused the sequencer to start recording back from bar 1, making the previous 27 minutes of recording disappear, even from the audio files directory.
Is there anything I can do to recover the two AIFF files and avoid lots of swearwords from the customer?

Thanks for the sympathy musicspirit...
About Logic crashing... Actually, Logic didn't "crash", that is, the application didn't quit. It only stopped recording, displaying that "disk too slow". If truth be told, the timeline remained red, it stopped recording the two tracks. Then I pushed the "record" key and it started recording back from bar 1. As soon as I realised that it wasn't displaying the previous 27 minutes of recording anymore, I stopped the transport and something even more strange happened... Logic rendered the overview of the newly recorded two audio regions and started prompting error messages about one of them being an 8-bit audio file. Moreover, I had the Roger Nichols Inspector plugin open and in the meantime it went crazy too, displaying "9999" in the clips/consecutive clips/etc. counter.
I was listening with my headphones plugged into my Fireface and I can tell you that the audio coming from the soundcard was perfect during the Logic "crash". It never stopped, clipped, popped or anything similar.
About the audio path, audio file name... I always double check the audio recording path before starting a recording and it was exactly where it should be.
After the crash I recorded the second part of the gig on an external FW hard drive and everything went smooth. I simply can't find the audio files of the first 27 minutes anywhere on the drive. However I found out pieces of them with Data Rescue II among deleted files, but they are corrupted (interrupted by pink noise and square waves - BTW I plan to save one of them labelling it with "how an audio file dies").
It is really strange that such a powerful program (as Logic is) doesn't save an audio file if for some reasons it stops recording and you press record again...

Logic Pro missing audio files and instrument patches

Good morning
Last week I downloaded Logic Pro version 9.1.8 from the App store.
I have downloaded all the additional copntent listed
I am running a brand new IMAC with OSX10.8.2
The instrument choices and patches show up.....
However many of the audio files and instrument patches are missing.
Prerecorded songs can be loaded but...
When I open a logic song (recorded on my prior IMAC) and recorded within Logic Audio 9.0.0, I get consistent messages such as
EXS24 Instrument "Classical piano.exs" Audio file "BDorfer f O d#.aif not found.
This happens with most most of the patches.
Many thanks for your help

The only things missing from the App Store version compared to the Boxed set are the loops and samples that came as part of Soundtrack Pro and those are no longer available..
However, the sample you mentioned is actually part of the GarageBand Library.... Did you install GB too?
If you did so... then... three things..
First, try using FindAnyFile
http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/
(Download the version on that webpage and not the App Store version)
..and do a search for BDorfer.. (Just that and nothing else) and see if it finds your missing file.
If it doesn't find it.., install GB and try again... (You may need to rebuild Spotlight afterwards as described below)
If it does find it then..
Two.. rebuild GB's Loop index as this fixes all kinds of weird things in Logic... (and yes, i know its loops not samples but it's worth trying based on past experience fixing these kinds of issues)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2443?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
and... if that doesn't work..
Three... Have you reindexed Spotlight?
http://osxdaily.com/2012/01/17/rebuild-spotlight-index/
Logic uses Spotlight to find everything it needs.. so that is worth a try too if everything else fails..

Missing audio file stuffs up Magic band

Opening Magic GB and I get "Hollowbody Rhythm caf. not found" .Skip this and the create window opens up to show all instruments are missing. Got any advice please?

I opened a new song '1.band' in GarageBand, recorded
a track, saved 1.band and then saved 1.band as
'2.band'. I then deleted the track I had recorded and
recorded a new track. Then I saved 2.band. When I
tried to re-open 1.band I received the error: "Audio
file 'Recording#01.aif' not found", I clicked
'Search' and GB returned the same error but only
listed 'continue' as an option. 1.band opened and had
a dummy file where I had recorded audio. I then
looked in the media folder of the 1.band package;
there was no .aif at all. I looked in the media
folder of the 2.band package and there was only the
.aif that belonged with that song.
Is there anyway of recovering the .aif for 1.band?
I've tried using Spotlight to locate Recording#01.aif
to no avail. This file happens to be an irreplaceable
field recording so ANY help is greatly appreciated.
Did you also empty the trash? If not, it is probably still sitting in the trash. I usually leave stuff in the trash a few days or more before I empty it, just to be sure I didn't delete something I shouldn't have.
HT's advice is certainly correct for future recordings, as always.

Missing Audio File

I worked on a project (Logic 8) a few months ago...everything was great...recorded some audio, did some editing, hid some tracks, exported an MP3, removed unused audio from the bin, everything was great and dandy.
I opened the same project last night and received the message that 1 audio file cannot be found. It happens to be the audio file that was on the hidden track. Since I emptied my recycling bin months ago, I fear that this very important file is lost forever.
Anyone know how I can get this file back?

stevetothink wrote:
My backup runs every few days with a mirror image of the drive. So, the backup has the same problem.
Re-recording it is not an option. It was a one time shot.
Maybe this is a good time to consider a better backup situation.
I try to follow this rule :
Backup in three different hard drives, and at the end of the project, make DVDs.
As far as the backups are concerned, I do what is called an Incremental backup, which keeps EVERYTHING, including bad takes, non-utilised material, demos, etc. It is all there. 99% of the time, nothing needs to be recovered.
But then there is this 1% chance, the 1% your stuck in... where you need something back.
If you want to use a dedicated software for this, you can use Retrospect, which I use, and has the Incremental Backup option, which adds all New files and copies all updated files as new ones as well, in order to keep EVERYTHING.
Cheers

I'm suddenly missing audio files. Can they be recovered?

A number of tracks in my iTunes Library seem to be missing. These tracks appear with an ! symbol to the left of the track name. I'm a Mac guy but this is a problem on my wife's Windows machine. I think I had this problem in the past on my Mac with both iTunes and iPhoto files (latest vesions of software and OS). I think there is a way to rebuild libraies on the Mac but how do you do it on a Windows machine?
Hope you can help.
John

The "!" symbol means that iTunes does not find the song file in the location it was expecting. This usually occurs when the file, or one of its containing folders, has been moved, deleted, or renamed.
If you or your wife remember changing something, then change it back. If not, then find the files with the help of Windows Search, and don't forget to look in the Recycle bin too.

Missing audio files in Premiere after re-opening

I just finished editing some clips for a gaming video I was working on. After saving it last night with all the audio clips still in the timeline, I re-open the project this morning seeing that all of my audio from the recorded footage was gone. But the song in the background still working perfectly and staying in the timeline. (This is the first time this has happened to me)
I did not touch the project overnight, and I perfectly remember the audio working perfectly last night.
This may just be a small bug, but is there a way to re-sync everything without having to manually sync everything myself?
I work on a Windows 8.1 computer
Using Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014
If anyone knows a way to fix this, or if anyone has had the same problem. Please let me know. Thanks!

becaue of the issues when using MA or a TM backup to restore from one computer to another, with Logic, this is often a common problem.
To fix it just go to this link.. and re-download and install all the essential and additional content... and then all should be fine. I know it can be a pain to do but ijn reality, this has been found to be the only effective way of fixing such an issue.
Please note: Make sure both GB and Logic are not running (In otherwords, make sure you have quit both of them) when you install the content...

Missing "(sent)" files roundtripping b/n FCP and STP

Sorry, but I'm posting this here because the STP forum is quite slow to reply. And, I'm not sure if this is an FCP or STP issue.
I have just finished my first project using STP. I was doing a lot of round tripping b/n FCP5 and STP (about 15 clips) and everything was working splendidly. Airconditioner noise easily zapped! A beautiful thing. Annoying pops and cracks removed with just a few clicks of the mouse. More beautiful things. Then...I finished the project (thank gawd), output via Compressor and into DVDSP. The final DVDs are produced and the client loves them. But, I had both a 30i and 24Pa version of the project. I had originally edited the 30i version and then duplicated this project and removed all the Advanced Pulldown to produce the 24P version (without having to re-edit; another beautiful thing). Note, I DID NOT do the STP round-tripping until the 24P version of the project. After everything was complete, I deleted the 30i project (it was never needed) leaving just the 24P version on the internal disks.
Suddenly, when I next opened the 24P version of the project ALL OF THE STP-FIXED AUDIO WAS GONE! NOW OFFLINE!!!
Where the heck did they go? And, where were they originally? When you round-trip like this, what kind of file is STP (or FCP) creating? In the Browser, I noticed FCP creates a new audio file clip icon and appends "(sent)" to the original audio clip name (e.g. an audio clip with the name "21DConfRoom03" has a duplicate? audio clip created, presumably by STP, with the new filename "21DConfRoom03 (sent)")
Where are these so-called "(sent)" audio clips source stored on disk? Where in the standard FCP file structure are they? Is it possible FCP was putting them into the 30i version of the project file structure by mistake? (remember, i first edited in the 30i project version before duplicating and creating a 24P version).
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
-Michael

When you say ProTools outputting individual aiff, is it a mix down file?
Yes. I have certain audio configurations that we need to output for the networks. Ch1 & 2 are a stereo mix, then CH3&4 might be Mix minus Music, then Ch5 Mono Dialog, Ch6 Mono Prod Audio. Ch7&8 SFX....9 and 10 Stereo music.
So the mixer mixes down what we need for the various tracks.
Also, as I change my film, is there any way to update the found files in ProTools?
Don't change your cut. You should not be sending the audio to the mix if you aren't done cutting. You wait until you have picture lock, then send the audio. If there is a change, then you re-export the OMF, they reconform, and send new tracks. HOW does the audio guy conform? Got me...I just know that they can.

Audio Files Missing after sent from FCP

I'm sending a sequence to STP from FCP. There are 8 tracks of audio (4 stereo pairs). Tracks 1 & 2 have dialogue, 3,4,5 &6 have SFX and 7 & 8 have music. After sending a Multi-track project I am missing audio files on the dialogue track. The visual reference is there. The audio and video are linked in FCP but sections of dialogue are just not there.
I've repaired disc permissions, trashed preferences, ran Disk Warrior and reinstalled FCS. I'm on STP 3.0.1.
I searched the forum and was unable to find a similar situation. Any and all insight are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

You have to assign tracks to a submix and then out to the master before you can hear them.
But some of the audio files are there and some of them aren't. There is no rhyme or reason for audio that appears and files that are missing. I can hear the dialogue that made it to STP from FCP, along with the SFX and the music. I've never assigned a submix to audio just to be able to hear it.
Are you on a laptop?
I've tried it on my 8 Core Mac Pro and my 2007 MBP. Same result on both. I have other sequences where everything is sent over completely. It's just this one. It is no different from any other sequence. It is all ProRes 422 and .AIFF 48khz/16 Bit
Thanks for your input.

EXS 24 audio files missing from G4 to mac Pro. Export solves, but why?

Hi. I recently upgraded from G4 DP to Mac Pro (huge jump). While some of my sample libraries work straight away...others do not, claiming "file not found" when I know they're there.
A cure that works is to go back to the G4, load the files into EXS24 there, export them to my external drive and then run the mac pro off this. The "export" seems to be the critical step and seems to re-create the apparently missing audio files.
It's very slow as can only do one at a time. Is there something obvious I'm missing here?
All thoughts welcome
Jonathan

I have this too and I haven't been able to find any info on the net about this.
I have no audio transitions or effects at all. Would love to find out how to fix this.

Trouble getting audio files when importing R3D files into CS5.5 Prem Pro

Importing R3D files into Premiere Pro CS5.5 works for Video but the audio doesn't convert properly.   There is an audio file included in the R3D file that PP can see but it just has a few spikes.
This same file played in REDcine-X plays the video/audio just fine.   Is there some audio setting in Premiere Pro that I should be setting?
Oddly enough if I use REDcine-X to output a RED Trim file and then import it into PP, the audio file is shown separately and is imported correctly.   This of course involves a file conversion step in the workflow and a step that we are hoping to avoid.

In order to import all kinds of r3d, we had better convert it to adobe more compaitble video format like dv, mpeg, avi
You may refer to the following step by step guide on how to convert .r3d movies at Convert R3D to ProRes, MOV, AVI, MP4, WMV, 3GP, MKV
The guide applies to:
Convert R3D to ProRes 4444, 422, 422 (HQ), 422 (LT), and 422 (Proxy) to fast import any version of Final Cut Pro or Final Cut Pro X.
Convert R3D to MOV, MP4 to import R3D to iMovie for easy editing or to play R3D in QuickTime, iTunes, iPad, iPod, iPhone, Apple TV.
Convert R3D to AVI, WMV, MPG to edit R3D in Avid, Adobe Premiere, Sony Vegas, Windows Movie Maker or play R3D in Windows Media player, Xbox 360, Microsoft Surface.
Convert R3D to FLV, WebM, H.264, MP4 for upload R3D video files to YouTube
Convert R3D to DV, VOB, ASF, SWF, RM, 3GP, OGV, FLAC, OGG, MP3, WAV, WMA, AC3, AIFF, WMA and etc.
