How to insert region at song start?

I already have 10 or so tracks, and I want to allow more space at the beginning of all of them, for a longer introduction.

First thing you should know is that After Effects is not a video editor. Premiere is for putting shots together to tell stories (which is editing), After Effects is for creating those shots (compositing and visual effects) and creating motion graphics.

This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

How do you change song start quickly without dragging the little square?

I have a song starting at bar 300 and I want to move the start to bar 1. How can you do this quickly without haveing to move the square box. The box is very slow and time consumeing with time start.
Thanks

create a keyboard shortcut. Hit option k, which brings up the key commands window.
In the spotlight upper right hand corner type "go to position."
A menu will come up which displays the all the go. The one in particular has black bullet which says "go to position" Click on that one.
Now to the right of that menu you'll see several radial buttons. Press the one which says, "learn by key label".
Now assign a key of you own. I used the comma which looks like , that. If you have nothing assigned to the comma it will make that go to position the , (comma) key command, which is only accessed by a key command. (thats what those black bullets mean in front of the huge menu).
close the key commands and press the comma key. A new window will show up called the "Go to Postion". Type in the bar or the smpte and it will automatically go to that postion. Press space bar which is the global command for play.
you'll be at bar 1 or 300 instantly! create key commands of your own with those above techniques especially when things get repetitive.

How do I tell what songs have altered Start/Stop times (Under "Get Info-Options") without opening every single song.

Sometimes, for whatever reason, I'll change the Start/Stop times of my songs, and I'll forget which ones I've done this to. For me, this can be a hassle, due to the number of songs I have, and the actual amount I listen to my iPod. I'll admit that it's my fault, that when I'm making a ringtone or simply shortening a song temporarily, I'll almost definitely forget to change that shortened time back after I'm done. But that moment when you're listening to a song and it abruptly ends, especially in a place I don't have access to iTunes (and in that situation I usually forget before I get home, exacerbating the problem even further), it can be the most annoying thing ever for me. I don't want to deal with it any longer, though, so here's my question:
How can I view which songs have altered Start/Stop times, without needing to view the Info for each individual song? I can't select all songs and then select "Get Info", because if I do that it won't even show the Option. The only reason I'm here is because I tried to figure it out myself, for weeks on end, and have returned no valid options for solution. So can someone please help me?

Customize the Finder window toolbar, adding the Path icon to it. Select an item and click on the Path icon or, as you already know, add path to the window. There's also copypath.app available via the App Store.

Let's say I have a document that is 5 pages long. Now I want to insert the page numbers, starting on page 3 with the number "3" and leaving out pages 1 and 2. How do I do that?

I just found the answer myself. I don't know how to delete my question, so I'll just write the reply to the answer - just in case somebody needs to know: Insert a section brake after the second page and then choose "Start on 3".

Max OSX 10.6.8, iTunes 11.1
I had a similar problem: I wanted to synch my playlist to my iphone. I like to have my playlist sorted by genre. But under each genre, albums are not sorted by the track numbers. This is a problem, especially when I am listening to club mixes when the DJ smoothly transitions from 1 track sequentially to the next one. Under the properties of each audio file, the Track Numbers and Disc Numbers are already there.
My perfect solution was to turn On Sorting - Sort Album under View>Show View Options. Then, select all the songs in that album (Shift click, Cmd click, etc) , and Edit multiple item information (Cmd I). You will see Info-Video-Sorting-Options buttons. Click on Sorting. Then, under Sort Album, Enter the name of the album. Then OK.
You should now have the playlist sorted by Genre, then each album individually sorted by track numbers. On your playlist you should see, if you scroll right, the column added called "Sort Album".
Hope this helps.

Cannot reposition song start border back to 1 1 1 1.

Hello,
I recently moved the song start border of a track I was working on to -8 1 1 1 in order to add a small intro(because automation was not moving correctly with the regions). Moving the song start border cause automation to not work at all on most of my tracks. Now, when I try to move the song start border back to 1 1 1 1, it won't budge. Any ideas on how to get it back to 1 1 1 1?

This problem isn't specific to working on the MacBooks. AFAICT it's simply a LP7 thing. Sorry to hear you ran into this.
I'm gonna outline a fix, or maybe I should say "potential" fix because without actually seeing your sequence this may or may not work...
The following procedure describes a scenario in which music doesn't start before bar 1 1 1 1. Adjust all references to "1 1 1 1" accordingly if your music starts in the negative bar numbers.
What this procedure does is moves all data out of the negative bar domain, clears any automation that might have existed before bar 1, and then puts the sequence back together again.
1) Set your left locator to -9 1 1 1
2) Set the right locator to 1 1 1 1.
3) Make sure your global tracks are visible
4) Turn Cycle ON and select ALL (cmd-A)
5) Arr. Window > Region > Cut/Insert Time > Insert Time & Move by Locators
6) Now select any track that contains automation. If one doesn't exist, make automation visible and create a single volume node
7) Use a key command to invoke "Automation Event Edit..."
8) Click on the tiny box in the ULH corner of the auto. event editor display and it will now show a list of the (normally hidden) automation tracks in the list.
9) Hit CMD-1 to open a new Arrange window.
10) Examine all of the tracks in there and see if any start before bar 1. If so, set the SPL to 1 1 1 1, select ALL (cmd-A), and use the scissor tool to snip all of those automation tracks at 1 1 1 1.
11) Delete all automation regions (now snipped and separated) which may exist before bar 1 1 1 1
12) Close the automation arrange window and the auto. event display.
13) In the main Arr. window, set the L locator to the first visible bar # and the right locator to bar 1 1 1 1
14) With Cycle ON, select ALL again and use Arr. > Region > Cut/Insert > Snip to cut away everything from bar -9 1 1 1 to 1 1 1 1
15) Move the song start to 1 1 1 1 again.
See if your song plays.

How do I get my songs out of the cloud? Seems like there are issues and won"t let me sync..

How can I get my songs out of the cloud? Seems like there are issues, any new purchased songs are not syncing with Ipod 3rd generations.

Do you have the original installation disc(s) that shipped with your MacBook? You're just going to have to start from scratch - as I doubt that you can recover any files without paying a fortune. Insert the installations disc, reformat your hard drive and then install the OS that came with your computer. Continue updating to 10.6.8 and then redownload and reinstall Mountain Lion again.
That's really the only way you're going to get your machine up and running again. I would also consider buying an inexpensive external drive to use as a backup in case your brother decides to do something stupid again.

Freeze from Song Start instead of Meas 0?

I recorded a concert into Logic, 38 channels, 24 bit, 44.1k. I'm breaking the individual songs out that I want to fix & mix. I'm editing out the regions of each song, then turning those regions into optimized audio files to make it more manageable. We'll open the mixes in another song file, bridge them with applause, and have a nice tidy concert mix.
I want to freeze tracks as I fix them, for less CPU overhead. I want to keep the individual songs with the optimized audio files in their original position in the timeline, so I can reopen the original files and drop them in at their original record position if I mess up the optimized audio file. I've reset the start and end markers with a couple of extra measures (@ 30bpm) before and after the audio.
My problem is that when I freeze a file, it freezes from measure 0, instead of the new song start position. Consequently, it takes a long time to freeze files, and they are huge. As an example, the first song actually started at measure 250 (it was a long pre-show), and even though the lead vocal file is only 50 MB, the freeze file for it is over 400 MB and takes a very long time to create.
How do I get "freeze" to start freezing from measure 249, instead of measure 0?
If that's not an option, is there one that doesn't require relocating my regions to measure 2?
TIA.

I've done a very poor job of describing what I've done. I'll try to clarify.
I have created a new .lso of each song, drawn from the original .lso of the concert. I've even gone to the effort of copying just the portions of the audio files that are in that song (optimizing), so I have a much smaller set of the appropriate audio tracks/files that contain just the audio from that song in each .lso.
I want the audio files of each .lso to remain at their original record position, to facilitate replacing them with originals if they get messed up in editing.
The song "start" has been moved to the beginning of the the files in the timeline for each .lso. The song end has been moved to the end of each, making each new .lso about 4 minutes long, although the start marker for each is at measure 250+
The problem is that "freeze" starts at measure 0, regardless of where the song start marker is placed. True, it stops where the "song end" marker is, but the freeze files are huge in comparison to the original file.
Any way to get freeze to start at the song start marker on the .lso's, instead of at measure 0?

How do i redownload a song i bought off the Music Store?

my osng is corrupted and it wont let me put it on my iPod because it gives me a -69 error.
anyway, i want to know how to re download the song.
it plays fine until the end when it starts to make my computer go really slow.

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copies from your iTunes library and then download again from your purchased history. If the problem persists, or that facility is not available in your region contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history.

Can't Change Song Start in Logic

Hello,
I tried to insert an audio file into Logic and it wouldn't let me place it at 1 1 1 1 for some reason, and it pushed my song's start location to -3 1 1 1. I tried to drag that slider back to 0 1 1 1 (where I want it), but it won't budge. I can move the song start box backward (further into the negatives), but not forward (towards 0 1 1 1 ), which is really annoying.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks,
Connor
P.S. There are no regions or any data until 1 1 1 1.

I have had this happen on the odd occasion and cant really tell why.. one thing to do is open the Audio region in the Sample Editor and check where the anchors are. Sometimes a region gets virtually edited and you think it is a certain size but in fact it is longer.
There is a great command in the Audio Window called "optimize file" which basically chops off and rationalises the original audio to fit what ever virtual edit you made... this may or may not affect your particular situation.
By way of anecdote, it is really important to optimise all the files when you are going to export them via OMF for a pro tools session, say for mixing. Sometimes you think you have all your audio files neatly lined up at bar in the Arrange window correct and present for inspection, only to find that when you export them, none of the files are in time because their real length is different. ( You can check this in the Sample Edit window where the anchors of the regions indicating their real length are easy to see)
