so i can change the guitar melody into a synth melody.
any input?

You cannot make midi from audio with GB. You'd need a sampler.

I have a PDF document with 10 pages that I need to make into a book?

I received a PDF file containing 10 pages of a newsletter that needs to be turned into a book using InDesign. Is there a method that I may use to take the pages from this PDF file and make a book with 10 pages in InDesign?

for a 'simple' book:
create a new indesign document with 10 pages--uncheck facing pages in the setup dialog--set the page size, margins, bleeds--then--go to file>place>locate the PDF--check the checkbox that says 'show import options' choose 'media' from dropdown menu -- choose (pages) ALL-- double click the file name (the PDF)--this will load all 10 pages to your cursor--go to page 1--click with cursor (this will place page 1) go to page 2 and click, page 3 click, etc etc--you can go back and re-position the pages later...
note: if the plan is to print and staple the book, you will need 12 pages--and also note--the placed art will not be editable.

Files needed to make ipod work have gone

i plugged my ipod into my computer for charging, and 10 seconds later a message came up saying something like (but not exactly,)"Your Disk Drive (/F) is malfunctioning so all files were deleted." These included the files nessessary to make it work such as the 4+ folders with all the files in. is there any where that i can get them back? Also by computer ONLY recognises it as a removable disk drive and when i try ipod updater it says "Please Insert an iPod into your Computer"
Thank You

See if you can format it. If you can, then do a restore.
Open My Computer and find the iPod.
Make ABSOLUTELY SURE that this is your iPod.
Right click on it, and click on Format.
Select the Quickformat option.
Click Start.
Let the iPod format... if it goes through, restore the iPod.
Just to let you know, this can cause your computer to react extremely slowly... just give it time and be patient. If you click on too many things trying to speed it up, you'll end up making it take longer.
Best wishes,

Midi Files Don't Work In FCE..and I don't have Quicktime pro to export it

Hi there,
I am working on a project in Final Cut Express 1.0.1
I have a MIDI sound file that will not import into the application. Also, I don't have quicktime pro to export that file to a mp3 or aiff.
Does anybody know if their is a free plugin that will allow me to export my midi file or import it into Final Cut.

Try this, it may work -
Set iTunes Preferences > Importing > Import Using > AIFF Encoder
Set the AIFF Encoder preferences to 16 bit, stereo, 48KHz
Add the MIDI file to your iTunes library. This may convert your Midi file to AIFF.
If not, once the MIDI file is in your iTunes library,
Select the MIDI file in your iTunes library
Go to the Advanced menu and select 'Convert to AIFF'
Then export the AIFF file to your hard drive
Then import the AIFF into FCE

Heavy white noise/hiss while recording guitar through audio interface

I have just purchased a new MacBook pro 2011 (low end 15") and have tried recording with an m-audio fast track audio interface. Unfortunately I'm getting terrible white noise and hiss while recording my guitar. The guitar is plugged straight into the interface using a guitar lead which is then usb connected to my mac.
I am pretty sure it's not the interface because it's brand new. Also I have tried three different guitars and all have the same out come.
Please help
Things that may help diagnose the problem:
I have installed a new driver.
When the gain and presence is increased the noise is worse.
The output is not hitting the red mark.
Thanks
Andre

I had your problem and I resolved it! i have my mic and guitars plugged into my Eurorack UB1202 analog mixer which outputs to my MacBook Pro via Bheringer UCA222 audio interface then back to my mixer and to my headphones/speakers. i noticed a white noise last night while i was working and all I did to fix it was unplug the audio interface from the outside usb hub (closest to the screen) and plugged it into my middle hub. the noise has now stopped and its crystal clear.
TL;DR try plugging your audio interface into different usb hubs. it worked for me. hope that helps!

I have video clips with 4 channels of audio, I can only hear audio recorded on channel one, how do I hear the other channels......?

I have video clips with 4 channels of audio, I can only hear audio recorded on channel one, how do I hear the other channels......?

What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system?     Elements 13 on Windows 7
What is the brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded these videos?        ony PMW 320
When you import them into your Premiere Elements project, what does Premiere Elements Properties for that import give for
the audio description in the way of number of channels? If you open the Audio Meter (Window Menu/Audio Meters) and you play back
the video in the Premiere Elements Editor, how many channels does the Audio Meter display?
I just drag and drop video and when playing back only channel 1 will appear
What is your intended export for this video in terms of audio as well as video compression and formats?    MP4
I think you can only use audio if it's recorded on channel 1 or it does not recognize it.
Thanks for the help if possible,Kevin416 873 8374

I'm trying to multi-track using an m-audio device, I can record my guitar fine. However, I want to create a new track so I can record an acoustic tambourine over the top. Instead it records the original guitar as well as tambourine? its really annoying

I'm trying to multi-track using an m-audio device, I can record my guitar fine. However, I want to create a new track so I can record an acoustic tambourine over the top. Instead it records the original guitar as well as the tambourine coming out with a really distorted sound. I've managed to record over the top of a guitar before and add diferent riffs and sounds but I've tried all of the settings but its still not working. Basically I want to record different tracks without it recording my previous guitar riffs as well. Help would really be appreciated.

Ah that was it, thanks a lot common sense really but thanks for the help

Encryption wouldn't matter except for Wifi.
While 10.2 might help, there's not much you can do on the Internet these days with less than 10.4.11

The Superdrive on my MacBook Pro ejects audio CDs just a few seconds after inserting them. This happens both with original audio CDs I have bought in music stores AND with audio CDs I have recorded myself, on the very same computer, via iTunes. The same does NOT happen with data CDs (e.g., stuff in mp3 format), which are read just fine. This behaviour started a couple of weeks ago, until then everything had worked just fine for years. I am running iTunes 11.1 under Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Any idea?

What's a good interface to record voice/guitar tracks in Logic Pro

Hello - could you tell me what would be a good interface to record voice/guitar into a Logic Pro project please? Thanks.

planetCAS wrote:
re the firmware update - there is talk that this should only be done if you are going to use USB - and also that it needs to be done via Windows.........I am confused re this?
I don't know about that, I don't own a Phonic, but if you only have to do it for USB, well, then there's no problem and you don't have to do anything, so...
Also when you say DAW (what does that stand for?
Digital Audio Workstation; Logic, Cubase, Protools etc are all DAWs. You'll probably encounter this term once in a while...
I just want to make sure and sorry if i sound silly but I should be able to use Phonic as my interface with Logic Pro without using Cubase?
Yes.

Recording electric guitar

Hi,
I'm trying to record off my guitar via a Griffin cable, but don't know how to go about it- the program doesn't seem to recognise that any external instrument is plugged. How do I go about this? Thanks, Al

Hello there!
Forgive me but what is Griffin Cable? How are you interfacing with your computer, are you plugging right into the computer through the audio line in or are you using an external audio interface that uses firewire or USB? If you are using the internal audio line in you have to make sure Logic is set up to see that, or vice versa if you are using an external unit. Also make sure any MAC drivers for your audio interface are installed but COREAUDIO will see most of those with out drivers. Also make sure in LOGIC that the channel or "Track" your wanting to record the guitar on is 1.) Record enabled and 2.) That the input is assigned correctly.

(X-Fi Xtremegamer) Recording two streams of audio simultaneously via "What U Hear"

Hello everybody.
I'm running Windows 7 32bit and have downloaded and installed drivers from creative download page.
Also performed an update. Integrated sound card (realtek high def) is disabled from BIOS. So my system
detects only X-Fi Xtremegamer.
I want to be able to record music in background and voice/guitar (input from FlexiJack) together.
Currently I have set "Audio Creation Mode" for my sound card and have chosen FlexiJack input to be a microphone.
So the problem is, when I set "What U hear" in windows recording devices as the default recording device, in idea it must record everything together. Audio being played in background and my voice over it from microphone alltogether.
The problem is, once I set "What you hear" as the default recording device, my microphone immediately goes into "currently unavailable" state. If I put mic back as defaul rec dev, it becomes active again. This is very very frustrating.
I know people here are pros who may have very sophisticated setups with all that MIDI controllers, routing etc. And you may tell me "So whats the problem, just set the music play on one channel of Audition for example and record your voice with mic as default recording device on the other one".
Yes it is a valid notice, but there are situations when I really need to record both, background music/sounds along with microphone input sound simultaneously. A good example is online karaoke site(s) who need both sound streams to be recorded simultaneously and in realtime.
Could anybody, please, give me an advise how to correct this problem? I don't want to throw away such a nice piece of hardware just because of this problem

Oh, boy... You have my sympathy with the 'What-U-Hear' thing...recording two audio streams at once (mic etc)...
I just upgraded my home studio system to a Win7 computer...I use SONAR to do my digital/MIDI work...
On my old WinXP machine (a Pentium 4 with 4 gig RAM), I had the luxury of actually being ABLE to record in 'What-U-Hear' mode...
I figured I needed a new soundcard with my new Win7...so I went out and bought the well-recommended M-Audio Audiophile 192 PCI card...
Big mistake...I CAN'T record ANY 'What-U-Hear' streams at all!!...I wanted to tear out the new M-Audio card and plunk my trusty old Audigy 2 back in...but, the problem is not that Creative doesn't have Win7 drivers...it's that the SOFTWARE that came with it is largely useless according to the Creative site.
Funny, I transferred all my files from the old computer (including all the Creative apps) to the new Win7 computer, and guess what? Good old 'WAVE STUDIO' from 2001 - version 4:12:07 - works just fine (WITH the ****ed M-Audio card, too!)...
However, I STILL can't get the M-Audio 192 to do 'What-U-Hear' recording...!!
I wonder if I DID put the old Audigy in my new Win7 computer...would that most important bit of Creative software that I use all the time (Wave Studio)...work?
What a minefield!
But about your particular problem...I think it is something to do with memory addressing, that the mic won't work with other audio streams...
There is a program called 'DIGITAL CABLES' available on ZDNET for free download (costs $30 in full version) that is SUPPOSED to get around the 'What-U-Hear' problem...but, I'm afraid to screw everything up...since I use my system regularly to do work for my church choir...
cheers...

Guitar in audio input?

I have a new iMac running 10.5.2 and am having trouble connecting my guitar directly to the mac using logic express. It all works fine with garageband but I can neither hear or record my guitar in logic.
Please Help

Did you select and activate! the audio driver in Logic?
Are you trying to record on an audio track?
Do you arm the track to hear your guitar before to record it?
cheers

Severe static when trying to record electric guitar

I've been trying to record a clean electric guitar and every recording is just covered in heavy hissing static sound. This didn't happen when I recorded an acoustic guitar through a microphone. I have an electric guitar going into a small amp, with the amp level set on the clean channel at a very low setting, then the headphone/output is running directly into my M-Audio FastTrack USB interface, which is connected to the computer. I have adjusted the "recording level" in garage band so that the signal never gets close to the red in the individual instrument track. The "output" knob on the FastTrack is set relatively low also, about "4" out of 10. When I play back the recorded track, the master level meter never goes into the red either. Yet no matter what volume I record at I'm getting this strong crackling/hissing as if it was extremely overdriven.
Related question: When I play on the electric guitar, is it supposed to show an indication in the LCD box, as it does when I'm playing on my midi controller? It doesn't have the little indicator light showing signal, nor does the master level indicator, when I'm recording. Only the individual track level indicator shows the signal coming in. Maybe this is normal...
Any help is greatly appreciated.

OK, well I solved my own problem through trial and error. Rant: I switched to GB from ProTools on the theory that GB was supposed to "just work" and I want to be a musician, not an audio engineer. Here is how I fixed the static: one of my garage band books told me I could set the Garage Band audio preferences to "System" default, and then set my computer's audio preferences to my audio interface for the ins and outs, because I wanted to play all of computer's audio, whether in garageband or not, through my reference studio monitors. Well doing it this way results in massive static when recording a real instrument, for no apparent reason. So to fix this, you have to set Garageband's own audio in/out settings to your audio interface, NOT to the system settings. This caused the static in my recordings to completely disappear. Go figure.
