Help! Individual tracks somehow ended up in trash!

I just went to work on a song I recorded a few months back. I recorded a new vocal the other day. Tonight I went to do more work on it and found 18 aiff files from that song in the "trash." I don't know how they got there, maybe a mistake I made the last time I worked on the song. Only a few of the tracks play, it's all messed up now. I tried dragging the aiff files from the trash to try to re-construct the song. Didn't work. I spent a lot of time with this song and don't want to start it all over. Can anyone help me? I'm desperate. I hope the answer to this is simple!

Hang- I figured something out at least. Before your suggestion I went to the song's workpage. I played the song and unlocked each "muted" track or track which I thought was trashed. The tracks, one by one, reappeared! I feel both stupid, puzzled, and proud at the same time. Never thought it was possible. But I'm going to copy your advice and throw it in a folder for future reference in case any other strange occurrences happen. Thank you sir. I think I can repair this thing now. Thinking back I believe I trashed the original mix of the song, which I had long ago shared to ITunes, and dumped it from ITunes into the trash. What a fool.

    How do I get Time Machine back on my dock? I made a mistake and removed it from dock, somehow ended up in trash, what do I do?

    Uh…you're saying two entirely different things here. If you removed Time Machine from the Dock, it could not be in the Trash. But if you removed it from your Applications or Utilities folder and put it in the Trash, that's a problem.
    So, which one did you really do?

  • Individual track start and end times: Fade in & out?

    I can set start & end times for individual tracks.
    Can I also fade in & out?

    You can set start and stop times for individual tracks using Get Info>>Options tab.
    iTunes Preferences>>Playback tab has a crossfade option that you could check out to see if it does what you want on fading in and out.

  • HT1473 I purchased a cd and downloaded to my itune library, but I can not see it as an ALBUM, only individual track?

    I purchased a CD and downloaded all the 16 songs in Itune Library? When I went to my Itune to open the album of 16 songs, instead I saw 16 individual track with no name or title? I don't want to see individual track, I want to see as an album. Can any one help?
    Thanks

    Not sure what would cause that. Try deleting all the songs and re downloading them.
    From iTunes Store go to Purchased in Quick Links on the right.

  • Creating albums and moving individual tracks

    I have quite a few compulation CDs that were created in the mid to late 80s and when I imported them into my iTunes library they were imported as individual tracks with no MP3tag info. Is it possible to create an album and move these individual tracks in that newly created album? I know that I can add the song title artist and album name to the tracks but I cannot fiqure out how to create an empty album to put them into. Please help.

    Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
    There's no such thing as an empty album in iTunes. Simply select some tracks that you want to link together, *Get Info*., give them a distinct Album title and set the *Album Artist*. For a compilation you should also set *Part of a compilation* to Yes on the Options tab.

  • Bouncing individual tracks creates 2 wav files for each..why?!!

    When I bounce individually selected tracks from Logic Express, it creates a double wav file in my folder for each track I bounce. It didn't use to do that and I haven't changed any settings... Please HELP :/

    By "double wav" do you mean that you are getting a separate audio file for left channel and another for right channel, something like this?
    Be sure to check in your bounce window that you have "interleaved" checked instead of "split."
    Depending on how you're exporting/bouncing your tracks this may not help, but you can always solo the desired track and bounce your song with "interleaved" selected to get a single stereo file of that individual track.

  • How do I inport an individual track from a CD to itunes 12?

    The latest version of iTunes (12) *****!  Apart from the missing sidebar which has annoyed many, my new gripe is that I have not found a way of importing individual tracks from a CD into iTunes (& hence my I-pod).  The only way I've found to do it so far is to import the total CD and then delete the tracks I don't want from iTunes.......doh!!
    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Hello ed2345,
    Thanks for the answer and it works!  It's not as intuitive or easy as with the previous version of iTunes - where you could click and drag the tracks you wanted to import - but it's way better than importing all and then having to delete the unwanted tracks.  Good job.
    Glad it helped.  Enjoy the music!

  • I need help with tracking

    Ok the video that you can see on my youtube is the one I need help with. The video is actually in 1080p and I have no idea why it is showing in such a low resolution, but that is not the problem. I need to track the gun and add a null to that track, after that I want to add a red solid layer and bring down its opacity a little, to simulate a laser sight from the gun.Then I tried to parent and SHIFT parent the red solid to the track, the end product would have to look like what you can see in the picture. I have watched a TON of videos about tracking and just can not the the result I need. the laser needs to follow the gun as I aim up and bring the gun down. How should I do this.......? Please someone help or link me a tutorial that will be helpful.....

    You have a couple of problems. First you don't need to use shift parent, just parent. Second, your red solid is a 3D layer and you have applied 2D tracking info to the solid. Actually, there's another mistake and it is in the tracking. You should also be tracking scale because the gun moves from left to right as well as up and down. This changes the distance between the front and back tracking points.
    My workflow with this project would be:
    Track Motion of the front and back of the gun including position, scale and rotation
    Apply the track info to a null called GunTrack or something like that
    Add a solid and apply the beam effect or mask the red solid to simulate the shape of a laser sight
    Change the blend mode of the solid to ADD
    Move the anchor point to the center of the starting point of the laser
    Parent the solid to the Gun Track null
    That should do it.

  • Burning mixed 5.1 songs to DVD-A as individual tracks?

    Hi All,
    A noob around these parts and to Logic Pro 9 so please be gentle
    After a fair bit of looking online I can't find the answer to my particular problem, which is...
    I have recorded & mixed a jazz band in 5.1 on Logic Pro 9.
    I have bounced the whole session as a 5.1 DVD-A disc with no problems but I want to be able to have each song as an individual track, not one long track with no breaks.
    Is this possible to do in Logic 9 Pro or do I need another 3rd party bit of software?
    Any help much appreciated,
    Jon

    Hi, noisyjon.
    Can you select each track as a separate region and use save as to write them as in dividual tracks. Another way is to use the locators ans select how much of the full track [the entire dvd] you want to bounce and save that file.
    ie. say track 1 is from bar 0 to bar 71. select that in your bounce menu and logic will only bounce that portion of the project. You can also name it whatever you want in the bounce drop box. Repeat for each track.
    Hoe this helps,
    Regards,
    Scorpii.

  • Adding or Deleting individual Tracks/Songs from iPod Nano-How to?

    I want to find out how to load individual tracks (instead of entire folders or artists) from the library to my ipod nano.  If that is not possible, then can I at least get help deleting individual tracks from my song list on my ipod nano???  When I have the songlist up and right click, nothing but play, rating, or get info information pops up.  In the editing window above the delete option is faded out.  I want to get all the songs I like to listen to, not all or nothing.  Please help....

    VyteSnake,
    Are you manually manging your music?  In other words, do you have the Manually manage music and videos option ticked from under your iPod's Summary tab?  I only ask because it sounds like you are trying to manually remove tracks from your iPod.
    Another option is to set your iPod up to sync only checked songs and movies by enabling this option from under the Summary tab.  Then make sure each track you wish to sync to your iPod has a tick mark next to it in your main iTunes library.  If you don't want it synced over, remove the tick mark.
    For more help on syncing and removing music, see this document.

  • EZDrummer - mapping drums to individual tracks?

    I've already asked over at the EZD support forum, but only got one response having to do with Cubase. I was wondering if there were any Logic users here who know how to map each drum from EZD to individual tracks instead of having the midi loop/pattern all reside on one. This way, I can add effects, eq, etc... to each drum kit piece as well as give me more control over mix levels and so forth.
    Any assistance appreciated!

    Did you download the Logic template here (hopefully it will work in Express):
    http://www.toontrack.com/free_downloads.asp
    Also, are you using EZD -> multi-channel -> AUX
    That will give you control of each EZD mixer output in Logic's auxs for EQ, effects, etc. To demix each instrument to place on MIDI tracks seems impractical as there are at least 10 different notes for hats alone, I recall.
    Maybe this thread will help:

  • Creating individual tracks from vinyl

    I have just digitized an album. Each side is an aiff file that I split into individual tracks in Garageband. Now, I need to send the files to iTunes. Each time I try this, I'm getting one big 25 minute track instead of four individuals. Someone give me some help please.

  • Bouncing individual tracks in mono

    I'm currently working on an album, and I'm soloing and bouncing all my individual tracks so my friend can open them in his protools. The problem is, all the tracks come out stereo. Any help would be appreciated. I'm running Logic Pro 8.

    I don't know if others are affected by this, but any track panned to the right is not bounced - effectively the master mono function just disables the right channel rather than summing to mono.
    Let me know if this is the case in general so it can be reported...
    Cheers
