Flash CS 6 has trouble importing .wav files

Not sure what's up with that but it does. Very CLEARLY a bug. If I drag the files onto the Library, it will give an error for each file but then once it's imported each one it will then ask me if I want to overright it and then reimport it again. The audio is then ruined and can not be used. It has been garbled to sound like static.
If I import them one by one, it does the same thing. If I try to import them all at once the program crashes.
The .wav files play fine in any other program so it's not the files themselves. It is also repeatable.
The ONLY thing that works is to batch convert them all to aif files via the Media Encoder but it's asinine to think that I have to do that by default each time.
I am running Windows 7 64 bit with 8 gb of memory and an Intel Xeon CPU at 2.8 ghz

Solved my own problem! In case anyone searches for this issue, the error happens when you save out an Audition file and select "Include markers and other metadata" at the bottom which crashes the import every time for me. Unchecking that stupid thing fixes the import error. It is repeatable on multiple computers in our office as well so it is indeed a fix.

Tempo problems with imported wav files

Hey everyone, sorry if there's a quick fix for this in the forums that I couldn't find, but I've been having some tempo problems with imported .wav files.
Long story short, my system couldn't handle playing all the tracks for a song while recording drums, so I bounced out an mp3 of the song and put it in a new Logic file so my drummer could just play along to that as I recorded him. Unfortunately, the original song is at 167 bpm, but I forgot to change the bpm in the new Logic file with the .mp3 file of the song to 167 bpm, so it was left at the default 120 bpm.
So, the drums were recorded at the correct 167 bpm, but Logic thinks that those new drum .wav files should be played at 120 bpm, so when I import my drum tracks back into the original file, they do not play correctly at all.
I could get record it all again, but I wanted to check if there was a way I could salvage what I already have, since my drummer lives about an hour away right now and can't just come over whenever he wants.
Thanks for the help! I really appreciate it.

Hi,
First, do not use MP3 in Logic, the sound quality is less than AIFF, WAV or CAF, and Logic has to decode it for playback, making it a heavier burden on the CPU than an uncoded audiofile, such as AIFF, WAV or CAF.
Secondly, audio files are independent of Logic's tempo. If you bounce down an audio file in any format (other than Apple Loop), it will play back at the same speed, +regardless of Logics' tempo setting+, either at recording or playback. Logic doesn't 'think' anything. The BPM is only important to MIDI tracks, or to the spacing between audio files. The audio files themselves *are not affected* by the tempo setting. If you import an audio file of tempo 167 into a 120 BPM project, the file will still play at 167, only Logic will indicate the wrong bar positions.
regards, Erik.

Having trouble with wav files and sample rates

Hi ,I am having trouble with wav files and sample rates .I have been sent multiple projects on wav as the main instrumental ; I wish to record in 48.000kHz .Now comes the problem.When I try to change the project to 48k It seems to pitch up the track.I can't have them send the logic/project file as most have outboard synths,different plug ins etc.This particular case the producer has recorded the synth task in 41.000 kHz .My successful outcome would be to be able t create a project file in 48 kHz .And NOT pitch up whne I add the instrumenta wav file .Any help would be gratefully recieved,this is my first post so any mistakes I may have made go easy

You'll have to convert the actual synth audio file file that the producer gave you to 48kHz. You can do this in the audio Bin in Logic.

Importing wav. files into itunes on MAC OSX

I have a question, hope someone has the answer.
I am a new mac owner, new ipod owner too.
I currently have 200-300 gigabytes of SHN and FLAC files on my PC (mostly grateful dead soundboard recordings).
I am planning on converting these files to WAV. format with "artist", "album" (show date), and "song" ID tags.
I then plan on copying these WAV. files to my imac or separate external hard drive formatted for MAC OSX.
OK THE QUESTION (finally, no?),
When WAV. files are imported into itunes are they automatically converted to the MP4 AAC format?
I have looked in the itune PREFERENCES menu I go to ADVANCED and see that there is a control for switching file formats for importing CD'S but there is no mention of importing WAV. files.
On another note it is too bad that Apple has not come up with a file conversion utility for itunes, where FLAC, SHN, and WAV. files could be converted to MP4AAC, Apple Losless, etc...
I appreciate any answers to my question, and also comments regarding the general subject of audio file conversion on the MAC OSX.
Thanks

Hi,
Firstly, I must point out that WAV doesn't support tagging, so there is no point in converting your compressed FLAC and SHN files to WAV before making the move over to a Mac.
Rather, it would make more sense to use the free and excellent Max to convert all these files automatically to the format of your choice, such as Apple Lossless. You can even run multiple conversions simultaneously, so you could, say, convert your whole lot of files to Apple Lossless while at the same time convert the same lot to AAC for use on your iPod. The program is highly configurable, allowing you to specify destination directories and whether or not the output files are added directly to your iTunes library. Also, the tagging will be preserved when converting FLAC and SHN files to supported formats.

Importing .wav files on LE 8

For some reason when i import the .wav files they play very slow. Please help. I have had no trouble before importing but this is the first time I am importing .wav files. I thought it would be easy.

Yeah, maybe.
If you import a file with 96KHz and play it back with 44.1, without any kind of conversion it will play about half as fast. Maybe that's the point. You can, however, convert the files in the Audio bin. (Thats to where you should import them to, btw)
If everything else fails, you can still speed them up using time&pitch machine.

Importing wav files with dead space?

I'm curious if anyone else has experienced slow loading times/overview calculations when importing wav files with lots of dead space into Logic?
Working on vocal comps from a Pro Tools session. Logic has no problem importing full takes (24-bit, 44kHz wav files that basically start at the beginning of the song). But alternate takes that might have complete silence until the 3rd chorus, for example, take forever to load. 10+ minutes in some cases.
If anyone can shed some light on this or share a similar experience, I'd appreciate it.
Tech details, if it helps: Macbook Pro 2.53 GHz Intel Core Duo, 4GB RAM, Lion 10.7.2, Logic Pro 9.1.6

Well, iTunes has no ability to undo edits, so the problem may lie elsewhere. Please try the following extra-extra-careful procedure:
- Edit the file and save it.
- Exit the editor.
- Make sure you know filename/location of the edited file, and that you are not confusing it with some unedited copy of the same song.
- Play the edited file in some other player than iTunes and make sure the edits are as you wished.
- Now, add the file to your iTunes library.
Pls try this and let us know.

Cannot import wav files

I'm relatively new to working with captivate and am trying to
import a .wav file into a slide. According to a book on Captivate
from Icon logic - it says that captivate supports mp3 files and wav
files. It also says that that when imported, WAV files are
converted to mp3 format. When I try to import a wav file I get a
message that says "unable to decode and import the selected sav/mp3
file". Does anyone know how to address this? thanks!

Hi Sue
The answer to that is a definite "it depends". Here's the
deal. Captivate does import WAV format. But it only understands WAV
format that has been what is called "PCM Encoded". There are
different encoding types for audio files.
You may find that you never encounter this again. Or, you may
find that nearly every file you choose to import has to be
converted. It all depends on the original encoding of the file.
I realize this answer is a bit on the vague side. Apologies
for that. Unfortunately there is no definite one size fits all
answer here.
Cheers... Rick

Trouble importing LOA files

Hello,
I've got 300+ laptops that require 2 new AC profiles added and an old profile removed. I've followed the AC profile deployment guide which is relatively straight forward, but when I try to silently import the LOA file using the qctray /importsilently command, nothing happens. The profiles do not appear in AC. However, I can import the LOA file manually using the profile import menu option but the imported profiles do not retain the encryption key. I've tried AC 4.41 and AC 4.52
I called Lenovo support but the rep didn't know where to route my call so someone is supposed to call me back.
Anyone seen this? Is a log file somewhere that can help?

Volume Troubles on .wav files

I used to use Soundtrack (from FCP Express ver.) and now I have Soundtrack Pro 2.02.
I can't seem to figure out why, but anytime I import .wav files, the volume is very soft. I have tried adjusting to +6db but it is still really soft in comparison to the rest of my tracks.
Can anyone help me figure this out?

Most professional DJ programs cannot play Apple Lossless. Check your equipment and software before you decide. Depending on your situation, WAV or AIFF may be a better choice.
I agree here, make sure you you are ok with the Apple Lossless file. I personally think Apple Lossless is one of the best lossless formats out there, in the sense that the quality is just as good as a WAV yet it takes up significantly less space and allows for all of the metadata/artwork you need. However, it's problem is it is very proprietary, and pretty much anything outside of the Apple world probably can't play it.
WAV files don't contain artwork in the file themselves (or I believe any ID3 tag info for that matter right?) however you can still input tags and artwork for WAVs into iTunes. iTunes will remember to assign that information, but if you ever need to re-add the song to your library or another library, all of that info will be lost because it wasn't stored in the actual WAV file.
AIFF can hold tag data right?

Importing Wav Files in Soundtrack 4

How do I import wav files to Soundtrack 4?
Thank You!

Open a new multitrack project and set the view to standard. In the right pane in the bottom half select the Browser tab. Locate your WAV file so it shows in the browser window and then click on it and drag it onto track 1.
Use a multitrack project if you want to export to compressor, or export directly out to an mp3.
If these considerations are unimportant, you can just double-click the WAV and it will open a new audio file project.
Hope that helps.

Importing Wave files

I have imported wave files into my project but they somehow loose one side of the stereo. I can change the panning and make it mono but I'm wondering why it's doing that. The same files play as stereo outside the project. What am I missing?

Thanks
Gerald

They aren't losing anything.
When you use audio clips that are a *stereo pair*, the pan control displays as all the way to the left -it can't display both. Unlink the stereo pair and you will see that you now have two audio tabs in the Viewer, one panned left, the other panned right.

Premiere Elements 13 has stopped importing MOV. files. Quicktime is installed and working.

I tried to get background information on the video from your camera but all I could find so far is that the camera is probably recording
1080p (1920 x 1080 @ 29.97 or 30 progressive frames per second. What are you (manually) or the program (automatically) setting as the project
preset to match the properties of your video source. See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size, and Pixel Aspect Ratio even if the fields look grayed out.
How are you importing the files into the Premiere Elements 13 project - with the Add Media/Files and Folders/Project Assets from a computer
hard drive location or are you making a USB connection between the camera and computer/Premiere Elements 13 and using Add Media/Video ..../Video Importer? Could you possibly have changed the way you are importing the files into a project?
Would it be possible for you to send a small sample of one of these .mov files that will no longer import? Maybe in a Dropbox link that you include in a reply?
Do you have any of the older files still available - the ones that did import at one time? If so, will they still import into a project or do they now not import?
More later.
Thanks for the follow ups.

How do you import .WAV files into Presonus studio one pro on a Mac Mini

I am new to this type of forum and I don't know how to ask a good question but here goes. I have a Mac Mini and I am getting very frustrated with my presonus DAW software. I was able to import .WAV files int o my PC Real easy but I don't seem to be able to find out how to do it with my Mac Mini. I clicked on import files and the files would magically transfer themselves into my DAW on my PC, but with the mac it doesn't want to do it the same way. I E-mailed the software company but they told me to do lit just like I have been importing with my PC but it doesn't work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I might also mention that this is my first Mac and I am not too familiar with the operating system yet, and besides all that I am fairly new to computer recording. Please help I am going nuts.
Thanks Abel

Convert the DVD's VOB files into a format that works natively in FCE. For DVD footage (which is SD), use MPEG Streamclip to do the converting. Here's a tutorial on using MPEG Streamclip: http://www.secondchairvideo.com/?p=739
MPEG Streamclip is freeware, but you may need to purchase the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component from Apple if you don't have it already.
