Gettin audio track and instrument in time.

i have logic pro 7.2 but when i import an audio track and then try to create an audio instrument in the matrix edit i cannot seem to get the audio instrument in time with the audio track and they both hav the same bpm. so cannot anyone help me plz im sure its a simple thing 2 do

Presuming the tempos are a spot on match, then It's all about locking the first downbeat of the audio to the track, in this example ( a drum loop ) the orange anchor point is locked to the first kick drum of the audio in the sample editor, so no matter where I drop the audio, it'll always be in time.
If the start point is not as clearly defined, the just move the anchor around till it sounds right.

  • How to import 2 separate audio tracks and keep them separate?

    I need advice about importing two separate simultaneous audio tracks and keeping them separate. I am importing footage from my Sony PDX-10 DV Cam.
    In the field I had wireless microphones on two people, a man and woman. I interviewed them separately. The man was on channel 1 and the woman was on channel 2.
    While shooting the man, for example, I could also hear the open mic of the woman who was maybe a block away talking to some friends. But her distracting sound was on CH 2 and in playback on the camera, if I dial down the volume of CH 2, I no longer hear the woman and I have a clean audio track, Ch 1, of the man who is being filmed.
    I'm trying to import the interviews into iMovies with only the relevant track turned up and the distracting track turned down. When I listen to the audio from the camera on my headsets, I can get clean sound of just the person who is on camera. But the FIREWIRE seems to grab both tracks, even though in playback i'm listening only to the clean track.
    Does anyone know how I can send just one audio track to IMovie? Any way to prevent the Firewire from importing both Ch 1 and Ch 2 at the same time?
    I only want the sound that's relevant to the person who is on camera. And I know that in the camera, it's possible to listen to just the track from one channel. I'm hearing just one track through the headsets, because I can sucessfully dial down the other track. That's the way I want to import the footage to iMovie. But the FIrewire seems to grab all the sound it can find and carry over both CH 1 and CH 2, which means I'm left with a jumble of sound that is not useful.
    And finally, if the firewire needs to grab both tracks, is there a way to assign them to two separate tracks in iMovie, so I can then simply turn one of the tracks off?

    welcome finecut to the  boards of discssions ...
    nope.
    iM handles the two stereo-channels as "one track", and offers 3 tracks of stereo.. (the one inside the video, 2 additional tracks...)
    I would... :
    * export clip(s) share/Quicktime/Expert Settings/aiff..
    * in a designated audio processor (Garageband, Audacity, ...) seperate the two channels, creating two "new" ones, stereo, where one channel is located in the stereo middle..
    * import these two "stereo" files into iM, into Track2 and Track 3 ...
    .. boom!done

  • Move all audio track anchors at one time together

    Move all audio track anchors at one time together..is this possible? I imported a remix, figured out the tempo. Now I want to make the tracks ( regions) all start on a downbeat to align with my measures..thx in advance for your assistance..

    > How do you do that?
    I'd begin by reading the Beat Mapping Track section in the Reference manual, p. 337...
    > They are not referencing anything.
    Oh, yes, they are: these anchors actually reference the first sample to be played... Presumably, they were recorded to start together and play along, right? When you dragged them, they all landed as new audio regions starting at the beginning of the same bar, since their respective anchors are all aligned at the start of the so-called region. These anchors will stick to the tick they landed to, whatever tempo change you make, unless you move the regions.
    Or maybe you're missing something?...

  • Is there a way to get an iPod touch to play one audio track and stop.

    Is there a way to get an iPad to play one audio track and stop.
    I work in education and particularly music. Teachers are looking to create a playlist of selected track but only want the selected track to play then stop.
    This allows them to talk to the class during presentation and not worry about having to stop playback mid discussion.
    I've been successful doing this from appleTVs homeshared to a library by unchecking songs in the playlist. But It would be useful to instructors who have there own media on their device.

    Thanks for a cognative answer TXMark.
    For what its worth to any readers that work in education and would like this play once and stop 'feature'
    I had great success in homeshareing a iTunes library of teaching material and creating topic specific playlist and used apple remote app to control an appletv connected to that homeshared library. As TXMark suggests, uncheck the songs in iTunes and the media will not automatically play the tracks in sequence.
    note: if you have video media that you would like to have in the playlist, be sure its listed as a music video in the options of get info of track. otherwise the apple tv will not see the media in the playlist and will put it in the movies section of the library.

    The only way to stop after a song is to create a playlist consisting of only that song.

  • 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..

  • System Overload with 6 audio tracks and 2 instrument tracks!!

    Hello, this is my first post. I'm learning how to use Logic Pro 7.2.1. I had 6 audio tracks open and 2 instrument tracks. I press play and I get an error message saying there is a system overload. I'd also received this message with garageband and hardly any tracks, but before today I got the message once, clicked OK and then was able to continue.
    Also in the transport window right underneath the tempo, my version had the number 201. I realized that I can increase this number of memory to 2158. But in the Apple Pro Training book by Peachpit press, I see screenshots of their transport window and they have 899,852.
    After calling Apple it appears that this is a case which requires me to pay $199 to get help from them, but to me it is either a bone head mistake by me or a problem with my computer I imagine. I would really appreciate some help. Thank you.

    I have got plenty of system overloads on my powerbook and I only had about the same amount of tracks you had. The way I overcame the problem is by first making sure that no other programs are running ( Just to be safe). Then you should freeze the tracks that you are not editing at the time so the audio engine does not have to process all of it in real time. You can freeze all the tracks if you wanted to but you can only edit the ones that are not frozen. The freeze button looks like a snowflake on each track. Just click it and hit play and it will take a second to process it and then you will not have to worry about that track taking up so much audio processing power. You can go to the view menu and make sure the Track Freeze Button is enabled so you can used it. Try it out it should help you out.

  • In logic Pro, when I open up an audio track and load an audio file, there is no sound. I will finally get a sound out of one of the audio tracks after opening at least 5 of them alternately. Is anyone familiar with this kind of bug? It's really frustratin

    In logic Pro, when I open up an audio track or software track and load an audio file/loop or software file loop, there is no sound. I will finally get a sound out of one of the audio or software tracks after opening at least 5 of them alternately. Is anyone familiar with this kind of bug? It's really frustrating as this takes much time to complete work.
    os x, Mac OS X (10.6)

    I'm not sure I follow your words Fuzzynormal. You've helped by offering the insight that my issue in Logic Pro 9 is not a bug but a feature. But fell short of enlightenment by being a judge of character and of how one should interact in this forum. You insinuate that I haven't tried to solve the issue on my own when in fact I have. These forums are always my last resort. You further suggest that I am complaining. This is not a complaint. It is a genuine issue that I cannot figure out. Then you think that Brazeca is holding my hand and being a nice guy. Brazeca is helping people like me who might not be as adept at using Logic Pro as probably you are.This community forum was established to raise questions, answers and dicussion to help Apple's customers better undertand their operating systems and related issues. You are doing a disservice by not contributing positively and by trying to make this forum what you want it to be. You may have all the time in the world to try figuring out stuff but we are not all like you. We all have different schedules and different levels of understanding. And that is what this forum is for - to help people move forward. If you can't contribute positively then keep silent. And by the way, you say to "read the words that are printed down to explain to you how that works" what words are you talking about?

  • Audio Tracks and Video Out of Sync!!

    I am having a problem with not only the video and audio being out of sync, but the audio tracks, left and right, are out of sync with each other. I know it isn't the camera or tape because I watch the footage while it's capturing and it is fine, plus it happens all the time, with different tapes and different cameras. What would cause this and how do I fix it? Also, how do I set my preferences to automatically start the camera when I click capture? I have it set on my iMac but I can't find it on my G5.

  • Final cut lost audio tracks lost in quick time

    hello,
    I seem to be losing audio tracks when I make a quick time movie from Final cut Hd for making a dvd in IDVD.
    The audio source is ok.
    I have up to 12 tracks of audio, but this only happens when it feels like it, the tracks work in different places on the timeline.
    I render audio mixdown.
    Thanks!

    Hi Jeremy,
    Your first step would be to delete all the audio render files and re-render and do another audio mixdown. It could be as simple as a corrupt render file. If that doesn't work, post back.

  • Is it possible to separate audio tracks and/or timecode on clips in browser

    I transcoded my AF100 clips with log and transfer and came out with all my audio in stereo tracks. There are two separate tracks corresponding to the two mics but they are linked. I know I can separate them one by one on my timeline, but I'm wondering if there's away to select all the clips and do the same thing in my browser, since I have to do the same thing to ALL my hundreds of clips.
    Similarly, I made audio tracks without timecode for my transcribers. Now I have to go in and set an auxiliary timecode starting at 00 for all my clips. I'm wondering if there's a way to do that for all the clips at once. I wish I had set the camera to start the timecode at 00 for each clip, but I didn't think of that in time.
    Thanks in advance for any help. This forum saves my life!

    I don't know much about your business except what you've said but my first impression is that you are way over-thinking and over-producing; your situation is unnecessarily complicated.
    I am finishing to DVD. I tried before production to figure out the best way to get these clips to my transcribers ASAP- the start to finish on this project is very short, and it was taking too long to compress clips stamped with TC and the Pro Res clips I am making via Log and Trasfer are huge and don't play well on every computer (all of my trasncribers are on PCs) Also, they are all in a country other than the one I was producing in, so getting them Pro-Res clips would have meant mailing lots of drives internationally. The easiest way to get the transcribers the clips turned out to be using Drop Box to send them audio clips. If you still think I'm over producing, do tell- I'm def not one who enjoys over-anything and if there is a more minimalist approach I'd love to know!
    You can, of course, create actions or macros, if you understand the programming, to run batch processing but only if all of the files can be processed in the same way.
    So, is there any way to set auxiliary timecodes OR to separate audio tracks on every single clip in my browser?
    And is there a way to get Log and Transfer to create clips that don't have the audio in stereo?
    Thanks

  • Moving audio tracks and edits together

    If I have to move the location of a piece of audio forward and backward is there also a way to move the volume edits I've made on that track with it.
    Every time I move a piece of audio I end up having to move the edits separately and realign everything. It's a real pain in the butt.
    Any tips on this.
    Thanks,
    Ray

    It is a pain, and there is no solution, volume curves belong to the track, not the region B-(>
    The only tip, incase you didn't know, is that you can select multi points on the curve and drag them together. Shift click or Drag Select.
    The workflow to avoid this in GB is that you have to do all your editing and arranging of regions before you add volume and/or pan curves

  • How to synchronize audio track and video when transmitting by RTP

    since the audio stream and video stream are transmitted separately on the network even if in a merged data, how to synchronize the audio stream and video stream at the receiving end ?

    camelstrike wrote:
    Hi everyone!
    I've tried to make one of the processors, processor1, control the other processor, processor2, with processor1.addController(processor2) but I get a
    javax.media.IncompatibleTimeBaseException. I need to synchronize audio and video rtp-streams because they are sometimes completely out of sync.
    In JMF API Guide I've read:
    "2. Determine which Player object's time base is going to be used to drive
    the other Player objects and set the time base for the synchronized
    Player objects. Not all Player objects can assume a new time base.
    For example, if one of the Player objects you want to synchronize has
    a *push-data-source*, that Player object's time base must be used to
    drive the other Player objects."
    I'm using a custom AVReceive3 to receive rtp-streams and then I create processors for the incoming stream's datasource's, and they are ALL PushBufferDataSource's.
    Does this mean I can't synchronize these. If so is there any way I can change them into Pull...DataSources ?The RTP packets are timestamped when they leave, and they are played in order. You can't change the timebase on an RTP stream because, for all intensive purposes, it's "live" data. It plays at the speed the transmitting RTP server wants it to play, and it never gets behind because it drops out of order and old data packets.
    If your RTP streams aren't synced correctly on the receiving end, it means they aren't being synced on the transmitting end...so you should look into the other side of the equation.

  • Making a CD with audio tracks and a "bonus" video- how to?

    Dear folk,
    I have seen this before (notably a Shaggy album from waaaay back but no longer have access to it to study its "breakdown")- a regular audio CD which functions normally in your CD player etc and then, when placed into a DVD player or onto your computer lets you view the video which is on the same disk.
    I am looking at getting my daughter's EP of original material done but would like to add a video which I am making as well, in this manner.
    Not sure that iTunes IS the right category but I don't use Pro Logic (though I own it and could get someone else to do it, if required)- help please?

    OK, thanks to Roger I had good info to take away and now know that mixed mode CDs would possibly evidence issues as in this process the data file (ie the video) would most likely be the first file on the finished CD which would give you that horrible squealing noise as you play it on a conventional CD player but that "enhanced" CDs will burn them (data video and audio tracks) as separate sessions, ensuring that each appliance only need deal with that which it CAN deal with.
    Toast will do this but, apparently, so will something called Dragonburn: http://dragon-burn.en.softonic.com/mac
    I haven't tested this yet (the audio I need to work with has still to be completed and I have to shoot the video) but hope to report back.
    Hope this helps anyone seeking to do something similar.
