How do you unlink stereo audio files as opt-L did under FCP 7?

Under Final Cut 7, I was able to unlink a stereo file and move the left and right tracks independently forwared and back (manually stereoizing the sound if I wanted to). I see how expand an audio sound and changing panning on left and right, but no way to move the left or right track a few frames independent of the other as in FCP 7. Is there a way to do it?

You mean shifting them out of sync? Change the channel configuration to dual mono and detach the audio.

hi there
open the "Graphics & Sound" palette from the functions menu to use vis for reading/Writing wavefiles, search the examples shipped with LV for first steps. use the VIs in the "Analyze" functions palette to modify the data.

How do you simplfy STP audio files?

A lot of the sound effects files in Soundtrack Pro have like, 6 channels when I bring them into FCP. I don't need that for my purposes. It just gets in the way. What do I do?
Thanks!

Hi dm,
there are several things you can do.
-Select the audio and hit Option+C to nest the channels
-If they are .caf export the track as Aiff from STP and when you drag the audio clip onto the timeline hit Command+L and delete the 4 tracks from the third to the 6th downward.
-Select the audio track and hit Command + L and delete the unwanted channels.
-Unlink Audio Source from Destination from 3rd to 6th audio track as shown in the pic below then grab the audio and drop it on the timeline making sure the cursor hovers over the video tracks displaying an arrow pointing down.If this is done correctly only the first two audio track will be dropped.

- you could also lock the audio tracks so that when you drop new audio the locked track remains unaltered (see lock icon on the left hand side of the timeline and in the image above).

How do you make MP3 audio files?

I'm running for public office, and a local newspaper invited candidates to submit statements, along with MP3 audio files for display on its website.
So how does one make an MP3 audio file? Is this something I can do with my MacBook Pro and Leopard alone, or do I need to obtain a special software program?
Thanks.

Hi David!
As Francine mentioned, you will want to use the audio production software that came with your Mac, called Garageband. This will let you record speech, and even layer in music, etc. And when everything is set as you like it, the sound file can be exported in a variety of formats. It will provide a great basic audio recording solution for strictly voice and talking, but you can take things one step further and layer in a music track as an intro or outro if desired for a little more flair, edit out mistakes, etc. A great program that comes right with your Mac. There are nice basic tutorials on the Apple website which give an introduction to Garageband. Good luck David!

How do you start 2+ audio files playing at the same time?

I am trying to play 2 audio files at the same time, but I cannot figure out how to start them playing at the same time without latency issues.
If someone can please explain the process for doing this using Audio Queue Services, I will forever be in your debt.
This is for iPhone, but I was getting no love in those forums on this issue.

Thanks for your reply. Apple's iPhone Application Programming Guide states the Following:
*Playing Multiple Sounds Simultaneously*
To play multiple sounds simultaneously, create one playback audio queue object for each sound. For each audio queue, schedule the first buffer of audio to start at the same time using the AudioQueueEnqueueBufferWithParameters function.
This leads me to believe that it is possible. I have just not been able to get them to play precisely the same time, there is always delay.

How do you edit the audio files in the slideshow of my idvd project?

I have created a project in idvd and I dragged and dropped in the music files from the audio tab that I wanted - I selected multiple songs (2) and I hear them play just fine. The problem is that I want one song to play for a certain section of the photos and then I want the other song to start at a particular point. Why am I not able to edit the music in the slideshow and how can I do that?

iMovie is a good way to do this if your project is film based. If your using photos (slideshow) in iDVD, I would be inclinded to use GarageBand to edit the audio portion of your project (It may be just me, but whenever I've attempted to create a slideshow in iMovie, the photos look "grainy" to me, not as clear).
If you know the time of when you want your songs to change, you can adjust the length (time) of each song in GarageBand as well as fade in/fade out transition of the two or more songs. After saving, you then can access the saved audio mix via the audio tab in iDVD. (I'm making an assumption that one might be familiar enough with GarageBand to do this

How do you "UNLINK" the audio tracks?

I have had LOGIC now for about 3 weeks. I am learning tons and enjoying the program overall. I have received some great help from this forum. My latest adventure is creating more audio tracks. I found out recently from this forum that I had the settings in my LOGIC setup. I increased the number of audio tracks that I can use. My current question is, If I need more audio tracks in a project, I click on an audio track and then go to the Track>Create Multiple Tracks menu. I can import as many as I need.
The problem I am having is, when I create the tracks, they are somehow "linked" to whatever track that I clicked on when I choose to create the new tracks. I have tried changing the track and midi channels in the LH side of the arrange window, but when I change one track, the other one changes also. I don't know how to separate them. Is there some way to do that? ALSO>>>> Is there a way to create new audio tracks without having to click on an existing track first?
Thank you for your consideration.

The fastest way I know is to 1)- open the track mixer window, 2) click on the global button - to turn it on, 3) click on track button - to show all available tracks, 4) double click on an unused track, this will put a new track into the arrange window.
Turning off the global button in the mixer window and selecting the parts you want to display (Track, Instruments, MIDI, auxs, busses, etc) will show you the active tracks you have in the arrange window.

How do you export large audio files?

I made a mix which is about 20 minutes long and seems to be around 600MB. There are 13 songs and I put each song on a separate track. Ive tried bouncing, exporting and sharing and anything I try results in Logic Pro X (version 10.0.1) starting the process then quitting. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to export this file. Ill be honest I don't really have a clue what I am doing. I just recently started using Logic and I am still learning! I wanted to put this mix up on soundcloud so if anyone could give some suggestions that would be very helpful! Thanks!

if the outfile is much larger than 600MB then...
Bounce out as a PCM .caf file.... which allows for much larger maximum file sizes....up to 13.5 hours at 16bit/44.1k for example..
...Also.. if it isn't the size of the output file that is causing the issue.. bounce out in realtime mode rather than offline mode.. to a Wav or MP3 file... in case it is a plugin that is causing the bounce out to quit... and then upload the resulting MP3 or wave file to Soundcloud manually...
Finally, make sure you have set the start and end times in the bounce out dialog box.. to reflect the correct start and end times of your project....

How do you slow down audio files?

Hey everyone! I was wondering if there is a way that you can slow down audio (not midi) in Logic. I really need that ability so I can start transcribing a lot of pieces for my music lessons...
If Logic doesn't have anything like that, is there a free software I could download (that is NOT one of those trial ones that only play 3 min of the song or can't export)? If it costs somethin', which one is cheapest but has good enough quality?
Cheers, thanks!

Have you tried to use the Time and Pitchmachine within the Sample Editor of Logic. To a certain degree you could certainly slow it down. If youre not happy with that, you probably would have to use another software or buy a third party plugin (like serato's pitch n' time)...

For ICD-BX132, How do I transfer an audio file to a PC?

I just bought a ICD-BX132 voice recorder. There is no USB port, and no cable or software were provided. How do I transfer an audio file to a PC?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Quick Start Guide and two LR03 (size AAA) alkaline batteries are only supplied along with this IC Recorder.
You can use a stereo mini plug cable to transfer the recorded files from IC Recorder to the Computer. Plug one end of the cable to the Headphone jack on the IC recorder and plug the other end of the cable into the Microphone jack on the computer. You can purchase the cable from any nearest local Electronics store.
Go through the steps mentioned on the below knowledge base article to transfer the recorded files to Computer.

How do I export detached audio files as separate files, for Pro Tools processing?

My project is a live band performance. I have every song as a separate Event with associated audio. I have detachd all the audio from all the video Events. I now want to Export the audio files to Pro Tools for editing, then Import the edited audio back into FCP X and snap the edited audio to the associated video Events.
My problem is this: FCP X keeps exporting the audio as a single large WAV file, rather than as separate WAV files. In fact, the video events are separate, and so the audio associated with the video Events are separate.
I first renamed the Role of every audio file as "Music", then did a Share --> Export Media of all "Music" audio Roles. After exporting, I found it was one large WAV file, rather than separate files of different sizes.
As a 2nd try, I created Sub-Roles for each audio clip, and named each one with a distinct Sub-Role name. I then Exported all these Sub-Roles (yes, tedious). The result was that every exported WAV file was the same size, the same as the file size in my first try. The only audio that could be heard in each file was the audio in that particular song, but FCP X still created the very large file with silence in all the rest of the file. Since the file lengths don't match the original audio fil lengths, there will be a problem when I Import the edited files back into FCP X and want to Snap them into place.
Question:
How can I export the individual detached audio clips as separate files, the length of each file equaling the length of the original audio file in FCP X?
Do I need to separate the detached audio into separate Layers visually in the Project Timeline, so they are not touching? Or does this matter?
Help!!

No.
You need to explore Compound Clips. This workflow may or may not be of help.
Select an Event with clips in it and press Option+G to make a (blank) compound clip.
Select the Event Browser, create a new Event and call it 'Effects'.
Drag the Compound Clip into this Event.
Right-click the clip and select 'Open in Timeline'.
Select the timeline and press Option+W. This will add a Gap Clip to the timeline.
Select the gap clip and press Ctrl+D then type in the duration you want the clip to be.
Now open a project and select and copy one of the clips with effects etc.
Open the Compound Clip in the Timeline again, select the gap clip and press Option+Cmd+V to paste the effects into your Compound Clip.
This clip is now saved in your Browser and will remain there for you to copy and then paste the effects into any clip in any project.
It's a bit clunky, but it works - and once you learn about Compound Clips, you can work wonders with them. As an example, if you want to add more effects without overwriting the effects in the Compound Clip, simply make the Compound Clip into a Compound Clip (again) and add the effects. They will be added to the original effects.

How do you sync two audio clips without a clapper board?

... so the cameras had to be well back to catch the whole shot, and to catch the sound, we used a separate audio recorder closer to the performers.
In hindsight, I suppose we could have used a clapper board but if the board was close to the recorder, it would be hard to see... and if it was closer to the cameras, it would be hard to hear the clap on the recorder.
now the question is how to perfectly sync the better audio from the recorder with the lesser audio from the cameras (then delete the lesser audio)
so far, its not quite right and their lips are off like an old Japanese Sci Fi Movie. Is there any way to move one track frame by frame over the other to get it right? (some sort of keyboard command?)
OR is there some sort of app that someone wrote that could overlay the the good audio with the reference audio and sort of "snap it" into position? The waveforms look similar aside from the quality and strength of the signals.

Rob, Andy
just wanted to revisit this post. Were onto something great here!
so to update us, I DL'ed "PluralEyes" but it didn't work. Each time I pointed it at the program file, it shut itself down. I tried rebooting the whole machine, trashing preferences etc but it wouldn't work.
the developers were great! got back to me asap. I sent the crash reports and the file I was working on and they discovered a "huge bug"
Today, they emailed me a link to a FIX which be included in their next version but they allowed me to try it today and guess what? it FIXED it!
So I started the app and let it run (its over 2 hr program) the app ran for like an hour and put out two new sequences, "unsynced" and "synced"
but i have some questions;
there were two cameras and a separate audio recorder.
in "synced" it lined up the recorder audio with the camera 1 audio but it pushed camera 2 and its audio to the side (further down the timeline)
of course, what we want is for camera 2 to also be synced (or sunk;-) so when we cut between cameras, the lips are still in sync.
now how do we get it to line up camera 2?
screen shot.
in the "synced" sequence, we need to sync camera 2 with camera 1.
also, it has left out much of the program in the "synced sequence" there are actually three tapes from each camera. you can see here that we are left with one tape from each camera.
what do we do from here?
also, before moving anything around, I can link the tracks but that doesnt stop them from getting out of sync. and locking the tracks means they cannot be moved. so how do you attach the audio to video without getting out of sync?
.... In the "good ol days" (so Ive heard) editors had years and years to master their craft. Film & Splicing were in power for like what? 75 years?
Now there are new programs emerging every day with entirely their own learning curve! But if this works just this once, its well worth buying it! its a fantastic app! Im sure it just takes some getting used to!

How can I upload an audio file and link a page on my webiste to it?

I host a radio show weekly, have recorded broadcasts in MP3, want to host them on itunes and have a link from my website for visitors to listen to. Can anyone help me? Thanks

Could I ask you to read my 'get you started' page on podcasting, which should answer most of your questions.

If you still have questions do please come back.
As to your website, which is a separate matter from iTunes, you can provide embedded players - these pages gives you some information:
