How to DETECT DUPLICATE AUDIO files within a SEQUENCE?

Hi...
I'm working on a 45:00 sequence which is wall-to-wall music...
Unfortunately, I've had to recut it so many times that some of the music tracks are repeated. I need to eliminate them.
I love the "show duplicate frames" setting in the sequence (for video), is there a similiar setting for audio?
In Avid, there's a 'reverse match frame' button which allows one to load a clip into the viewer and then see where it appears throughout the sequence.
Does fcp have anything comparable? Any workaround for this?
Thanks,
Mark

Pressing F will match the Playhead from the Canvas to the Viewer when the Canvas or Timeline is the active window and from the Viewer to the Canvas when the Viewer is the active window.
Shift F will locate the source clip in the Browser
Turning off Auto Select for the video tracks in the Timeline will match back to an independant audio track -for instance a piece of music, when you press F.

  • How to delete unused audio files in a project?

    Hi guys,
    The question is fairly simple:
    How to delete unused audio files in a project?
    I can't manage to find the answer in the manual,... all I could find is how to delete audio outside used regions!
    But in the projects I use, I have loads of outtakes which I don't use in the project anymore, and now, I would like to delete them of the audio folder to save space on the HD.
    Can Logic select automatically the takes in the audio files folder which are not used in the project and delete them??
    Because there is hundreds of audio files per project, and +/- 50 projects, I just can't do it manually.
    Thanks,
    Fred

    Whoops! Yes, I knew that but a cow flew by... Sorry!
    The procedure I follow is to do what I described then Save as Project, creating a project folder. That way only the required audio is saved to the folder and I delete all temporary stuff. However, if you have folders with shared material, it's much harder and would require you to go through all your projects doing Save as Project before you could delete your old working folder.
    When doing day to day work, best practice is to create a new folder and only use Save as Project when you're working on stuff. Shared material (eg sample libraries etc) can go elsewhere and you can get Logic to copy those to the project folder automatically.
    Otherwise, Shift-Backspace in the Audio window, as you rightly say

  • How to add an audio file to a link

    I am working on a project using IWeb and I am trying to figure out if it is possible and then, if it is how to add an audio file to a link. I would really be glad of your help as I am having problems meeting the requirements of the project if I don't make it work.
    Also, is it possible when having added a movie clip from quick time player to have the clip start as soon as the page is "opening", that is without pressing the play button?
    I am waiting in great suspense to see if anybody can help me out. If you have the answers to my questions, please send me an email at [email protected] - thank you so much :o)

    Hi Maiken
    Welcome to the discussion forums.
    All you need is open iWeb, select text or image, open inspector, go to link, check the "enable as a hyperlink" box, in "link to" there's a teardown menu where you select "a file" and select the file you want to link to.
    If you want to have it downloading look at [this|http://alyeska.altervista.org/en/iWeb_Downloads.html]
    For the second question:
    select the movie file in iWeb go to inspector, then to the last icon (showing the quicktime logo) and check the box that say "Autoplay".
    Regards,
    Cédric

  • How do I fuse audio files together?

    Hey, I'm finishing up the editing for my full-length horror feature, and currently I'm putting in the sound effects and I was trying to figure out how can I fuse audio files together?
    Here's the thing, my video files are files I converted into AVIs from VOBs, only problem is that the audio disappeared from them, but my friend tried to load all my VOBs into AVIs for me since I did something wrong but when he converted them the video was gone but the audio was there...so I figured I'd just take the audio and put it in place.
    Right now I have to put in a sound effect of the guy screaming while gory sounds are playing in the background, then after that I have a chainsaw scene where a woman screams, a chainsaw blases, a mechanical laughter is heard, and gory sounds are playing all together.
    If you could help me figure out how to get the files to fuse together to play the sounds all together, knowing I have to change the volume for each one, that would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

    Ah, those scroll bars. They don't stand out, as much, as I would like. I always overlook the ones in the Share Panel, though I have used them many times.
    Unfortunately, PrE has chosen an arrangement, where Audio & Video Tracks are grouped. I like the PrPro layout, where all Video Tracks are above a "centerline" and all Audio Tracks are below that.
    About the closest that one can come in PrE is to use Delete Unused Tracks, to remove empty Video Tracks, or to View Video Tracks (alone), or View Audio Tracks (alone). With a combo of those, one can customize the Timeline a bit.
    When cleaned up, one can then Add Tracks, for any additional Audio Tracks necessary.
    If one did ONLY the View Audio, they loose the ability to refer to the Video Track, and with SFX, that is necessary, at least for me.
    I like to keep each type of Audio on its own Track. That makes actions, like applying Track Keyframes, or adjustments to JUST that Clip, or Clip type. If I have SFX, music, camera Audio, and other Audio sources, I will put many SFX on their own Audio Track, the camera Audio on another, and then the music one one, or more additional Audio Tracks. Not too long ago, I had one Project with about 10 separate SFX Audio Tracks, one for a "loon," one for "crickets," three for "frogs," one for "pond ambiance," and then two for music (as I was doing faux DD 5.1 SS in PrPro), with one from Music F (front) and Music R (rear).
    Good luck, and happy editing,

  • How does Airplay transfer audio file format to an Airport Express?

    Hi, everyone
    How does Airplay transfer audio file format to an Airport Express?
    Many from the Internet claim that iTunes encodes an AIFF file format into an Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) file format before sending signal to an Airport Express.
    Is that true?
    If so, would it still make sense for me to have AIFF files on my music server
    or should I have ALAC files instead?
    Please advise.
    Thank you.
    BR,
    George Lien

    Many from the Internet claim that iTunes encodes an AIFF file format into an Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) file format before sending signal to an Airport Express.
    Is that true?
    Yes. The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) works only with iTunes v4.6+ and is limited to music files that iTunes can read; ie, 16-bit data only. These data, though, can be in any file format that iTunes recognizes, from lossy MP3s at the low-quality end of the spectrum to Apple Lossless and lossless AIFF or WAV files at the high end. It is also important to note that the AX functions only at a 44.1kHz sample rate. When you play 32kHz or 48kHz data, iTunes sample-rate-converts the data in real time before sending it to the AX.
    iTunes uses a QuickTime CODEC to convert audio files to Apple Lossless, and then, uses AirPlay to send them to the AX. In turn, the AX uses built-in software that converts the Apple Lossless to an Encoded Digital Audio format. From there, digital audio is sent to a optical transceiver to convert the electrical signal to an optical one before sending it to the innermost part of the audio port. For analog, the AX has a built-in DAC to convert the Encoded Digital Audio to Analog which is sent to the same audio port.
    If so, would it still make sense for me to have AIFF files on my music server
    or should I have ALAC files instead?
    If you have audio files in both formats, I would elect just to keep the ALAC (.m4a) files on the music server.

  • When I add a watermark and flatten the transparency, it duplicates the file within the file.

    When I add a watermark and flatten the transparency, it duplicates the file within the file.  (a 105 pg file becomes 210pgs)

    After doing so, use the Save As command to save the file under a new name.
    This should optimize it and reduce the file's size, sometimes dramatically.

    Hi,
    Is it a Flash or AIR app?
    If it's an AIR app, then use the HTML/web, where you then can navigate to the URL of your PDF.
    If it's an Flash app, then set the wmode to transparent: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/127/tn_12701.html#main_Using_Window_Mode__wmode__values_
    And then create an iframe in your HTML page, where you load you PDF, set the iframe z-index, so it gets shown on top of the Flash object. Then you kan use the javascript bridge to interact with the iframe.
    Best regards

  • How do I download audio files

    How do I download audio files? I downloaded an app that has audio but was told I needed to come to ITunes first to download audio files! Help!

    Does the app not have a link to the developer's site (with a manual/guide) on its description page in the store ? I assume that it means that you need to connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and use the file sharing section on your computer's iTunes to copy content into it : file sharing.

  • How do I put audio files in Music without syncing to iTunes?

    I'm on the road with my laptop and iPhone.  I've created some audio files on the laptop and I need to put them on my iPhone.  I'd like to access them with the Music folder.  I haven't yet converted from MobileMe to iCloud and my desktop computer is the one I use to sync to my iPhone.  If I used my laptop to sync to my iPhone while on the road I believe that I'll lose all of my current music and podcasts on the iPhone.  Any suggestions as to how I could get these audio files from my laptop to my iPhone?
    Thanks,
    Landis

    Hmm.
    Probably easier for me to put all my stuff on my wife's computer I suppose.
    Rebuilding all those iTunes playlists is not very fun though.
    And of course anything new that I want on my laptop I will have to duplicate on her laptop in the future.
    Not sure how iCloud works just yet.
    So you can't have two laptops and manually sync both people's stuff to one iPad?

  • How can I add audio files manually to my iphone when iTunes match is turned on?

    I use iTunes match, and after resolving the debacle after updating to iOS 6 listed here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/19623582#19623582 it seems to be working fine. My problem is as follows:
    I have a series of audio files (lecture recordings) that have been uploaded to iTunes match (and so appear on my phone), but of which I also still have the actual files on my computer harddrive. These specific files will neither stream nor download from iTunes match on my phone (and did not before the update to iOS6 either). They play fine, however, on iTunes on my computer. Before the update I was able to get around this problem by manually dragging the files from my computer harddrive to the connected iPhone within iTunes. I no longer have the option of doing this - any attempted dragging of files onto the iPhone results in them simply 'bouncing back.' This is true not just of these files, but also of all other music files, including those which are listed in iTunes as being 'ineligible' for iTunes Match, and so are not represented on the iPhone at all.
    Thank you for any help!

    iTune Match is now considered a streaming service, with the optional download option. You cannot use iTunes to transfer songs anymore and need to use it exclusively on the device.
    You also cannot download single files anymore, only albums and artist is supported.
    The only workaround I've found was to click the cloud button for the album, and cancel all songs I don't want before they download.
