How do I find the tempo of a audio file?

How do I find the tempo of a imported audio file (stereo track song)
in Logic Pro 7.

my way is the old way.
move your file to the end of the song. (make sure SPL is at the beginning of the region)
open sample window.
open tempo list.
set new tempo and slide the tempo until you see the bar display at the top change position and the down beat of the audio file is underneath the next full bar.
hope this makes sense.
you might need to find the next down beat by listening to and then cutting the region at the down beat. that way when you open the saple editor it will be able to see where the down beat is.

  • How do I find the tempo of imported audio files?

    I import music tracks from iTunes to record voice/guitar and want to be accurate in the tempo..

    GarageBand does not show you the tempo of imported sound files. You have to count it out yourself. If you do not have a utility that will help you count, like Transscribe or Melodyne, cut a section of 8 (or 16) measures out of your recording and then change the tempo of your project, until this section fits exactly 8 or 16 measures in the timeline. This will give you rough idea of the average tempo, but usually your imported audio will have tempo changes, so I'd recommend to fine-tune the tempo locally using the tempo automation curve of the "Master" track.

    Hold Command-Option while pointing to an item in the Spotlight list. Or Command-Click will show the item in the Finder.

  • How do I change the length of an audio file?

    How do I change the length of an audio file without changing the actual recording?
    I want to aligne start and end points to the rest of my project.

    Well, yes and no. I have tried the Bounce track in place function, but it did not do what I was after. However, today I got an idea that solved the problem. I copied the region I had punched in several times. Then I used the Bounce track in place function. This made a track that was just as long as all the other tracks. Finally I silenced the audio "clips" that I had used to make the region longer. I have now 24 tracks to transfer to the Alesis HD 24 that starts, and ends, at the exact same point. This will suit the Alesis software just fine, I think.
    Thanks for the tips.

  • How do I find the path to a pdf file I have found in Spotlight?

    I downloaded a pdf file, and a few days later couldn't remember where I put it on my HD.I found it easily using spotlight, but that brings up the file as a full pdf in Preview, and I can't see any way of finding the patrent folder, or the path to it, so I can find it again or move it. How do I do that?
    Thanks,

  • Slideshow, how to make clip the same length as audio file?

    Hi
    I've got several PowerPoint presentations and need to make an MP4 video file for each of them. I know how to export the slides as still images, and I also have the audio files broken up into individual mp3 files that match each slide.
    I'm trying to figure out the most efficient way of getting the slides and audio files synced in Premiere Elements.
    Yesterday I imported all of the png images and mp3 audio files into my project. But I had to individually add each image, followed by the mp3, and then in the timeline manually stretch the image to make it last the same length of time as the audio file. It was rather tedious and I have a lot of presentations with many slides to work with. I'm sure there must be some better way to make all of this happen, right?
    Can anyone help me out here?
    1. Is there a way to make the image clip match the time of the audio clip?
    2. Is there a way to import all of the audio and image files at once (given they have the same names) and have PE automatically associate the image clip with the audio file?
    Thanks, Derek

    1. You can place the audio file in the Audio 1 track of the timeline first (Timeline, not sceneline)
    2. Next drop the image to where the audio file starts. Now press "\" key
    3. Drag the end of the clip to exactly where the audio ends. Whe you are near the end of the audio with the drag it should simply stick to it.
    4. Group the audio and image file together (Right click and select group after selecting both these together)
    5. Select the clip and do a right click and use the Fade-In and out option. You can fade in the video and let the audio simply continue. This makes it look and sound good.
    6. Place the next audio file and go on doing the same till all of them are done. The grouping step is not needed but when you keep working with PRE, you might just thank me for it!
    I tried all these steps just as I was typing this post, so I can tell you for sure that PrE10 works as if it is designed JUST for this use case. So hoping you get to complete the project on time and with good quality!

  • How do I find the size of a video file in iTunes store?

    Is there any way to find out how big a video file is before I download it to my computer? I see that movies show the file size in the product description, but what about episodes of a TV show? Or a complete season? Or a video in iTunes U?
    I tried "right clicking" (or whatever that's referred to on a Mac, sorry, I just recently got my Mac) to get info on a few files, but it says the size is unavailable. I have an iPod Touch I'd like to get videos for, but I don't have a ton of space after putting all my music on it, so that's why I'd like to know the file sizes in advance.

    You can figure for a 1 hour TV show - about 40-45 minutes of video - you will have a file size of about 450-550 meg.
    A movie such as Pirates of the Carri..... will weigh in around 1.6-1.8 gig.

  • How do I find the actual location of a file found by Spotlight?

    Spotlight gives me a list of one or more files with the same name? How can I get to those files to open, modify or delete?

    Highlight the file in the search results and press the Command and Option keys down.  The location will appear at the bottom of the preview screen.

  • How do I find the owner of a folder/file and change it.

    Photoshop will not install license correctly and Adobe is not being much help. The problem seems to be that the Library/preferences/FLEXnet Publisher folder is locked and the Photoshop installer can not write to it. The get info box for the folder says I can read only even though I'm logged in in my admin account and the list at the bottom shows I have read and write. I'm guessing that it may be a folder owner problem (caused by FileMaker since I can see it's data file in there and it is the only one). So can anyone give me terminal commands I can copy and paste into Terminal that will 1) tell me who the current owner is and 2) Change the owner to my admin account to get write permission?

    ok. it has some deny delete ACLs and some Time machine created extended attributes. did you by any chance copy this folder from a TM backup via finder?! that would be the only explanation I can think of for presence of those things. you should NEVER copy or do anything with TM backups from finder. TM backups should be accessed via TM interface ONLY. please run the following terminal command
    chmod -RN "/library/preferences/flexnet publisher/flexnet"
    then see if your problems with this folder go away.

  • How do i find the location of Oracle password file in the HDD

    we giv the location of the password file while we use the orapwd command to create one.
    later if we forget the location of the password file (incase it is not at the default location) then is there a way to find it or do we just create a new password file?
    secondly, for oracle to use the password file we giv the remote_login_passwordfile='EXCLUSIVE' in the parameter file. wat tells oracle the location of the exact password file??
    Thanks

    The default location are OS dependant.
    On Unix/Linus it is under $ORACLE_HOME/dbs
    On Windows, it is under %ORACLE_HOME%/database
    To change the default location, nothing inside database, but :
    On Unix/Linux, you have to create a symbolic link for that file to the target location
    On Windows, you have to change env variable (regedit) ORA_PWFILE and ORA_SID_PWFILE
    So, you have to check this setting for the real password file location.

  • I would like to know how I might find the OSX 10.9 Install file that the app store put on my hard drive.  Any help is greatly appreciated in advance.

    The app store download is so slow at my house that I don't want to do it more than once and I don't see the file anywhere, even looked for hidden files.  But Directory structure is dense and I surely haven't looked everywhere yet. 
    I would like to archive it on media that is physically independent of my mac.
    Any help is greatly appreciated in advance.

    You can make a bootable USB stick to install using this free program.

  • How can I increase the tempo of a song without distorting the vocals?

    I have a song I recorded, with the vocals and backing track on seperate tracks.
    The song has been recorded a bit too slow, and I need to increase the tempo. However, when I do this, the vocals become distorted and have a wavy sound.
    Is there any way I can increase the tempo of the song without distoring the vocals? I've tried doing it on the final song (merged tracks) and on the vocals alone, but nothing seems to work. It doesn't make sense, since when you do the same thing to a song by a professional artist, you can increase the tempo of the song without distoring the vocals.
    What am I doing wrong? How can I increase the tempo of my song without distoring the vocals?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    in general GB doesn't do such a great job with changing tempo of audio recordings, what you might find works better is to export your song uncompressed and then use an audio editor:

  • How can I change the tempo and pitch of individual tracks on Garageband 10.0.3?

    I just recently started using Garageband 10.0.3 and it's been updated completely, which is good in some ways. However, many things have been cleaned up and/or hidden and it's taken me a while to find certain tools or do certain things.
    I've been trying to change the pitch of tracks in my project and it's taken me forever to find out how, but eventually I did. I think, though, that it changes the pitch of the whole project? (I changed the pitch by using one of the plugins, I think it's called AUPitch?) I have to double-check that, but that's how I've been changing the pitch of the tracks.
    To the bigger problem... Tempo. I have searched for a good 2 hours trying to find out how to change the tempo of tracks individually and I'm really frustrated. I tried the BPM solution (changing the BPM at the very top), but that seems to change the whole project. I just want to change the tempo of individual tracks, not the whole thing. Is it even possible now?
    I'm really considering using a different program. Hopefully this is just me being slightly clueless and not Garageband's fault.

    The AuPitch filter will work on individual tracks, no problem.
    But you can change the tempo only for the entire project with the global tempo setting or the Tempo Track.
    As a work-around: To change the tempo of individual tracks solo each track, change the tempo, then bounce the track as an audio file and reimport that audio file with the changed tempo to an audio track.

  • How do I find the cookies I want to keep

    Recently I asked for some help but I think my request has got lost.
    I had beenadvised to save the cookies I want to keep but this is beyond me.
    My question is how do I find the cookie I want to keep? It is a cookie for an ebook and I have no idea what it is.
    Will deleting all other cookies mean that it will also delete my passwords and log ins on several sites? I don't want this to happen.
    Which brings me to the last point - You say that if I list exceptions to cookies I want to keep (at least I think that is what you mean), how do I find all those cookies?
    Again, sorry for troubling you but until I can find out more about the cookies, I don't want to delete these in case I delete the wrong ones, such as the ebook.
    Thank you cor-el. I do appreciate your advice...enormously.
    Anthony

    Dear Sir,
    Thank you so much for the above. It will be of great help in telling me where to go. But my problem is that if I can find cookies, I don't know which ones I want to keep. Are they labelled with the sites they refer to? If so that will help me. Apart from one which is the cookie I need to get to my online ebook, I guess there are cookies for the various passwords I have saved?
    Forgive me but I am an old man and not real great with computers.
    Thanks,
    Anthony
