How to preserve markers from Waveform in Multitrack

Hello,
I'm having a big difficulty with this. We edit our podcasts by first putting marks on all the tracks we record (in waveform editor).
We would the like to import the tracks into Multitrack so that the markers are still visible and we could edit the tracks there. This however does not happen. The marker lines get preserved but not their description.
Another workaround would be to edit directly from the waveform but here I can't seem to find a way to copy and paste. The blade tool does not work in Waveform editor (for good reasons) but the selection tool is also useless as it is impossible to copy a part of a track and paste it into a multitrack.
Could someone prove me wrong ? Would appreciate this tremendously.

No, it's not easy. There is a work around which might help. Having placed and named all your markers in Waveform view open the Markers panel and Merge them into Ranges . Then you can select the Range of audio you want to paste into the Multitrack view and click on the icon in the middle top of the Markers panel ( it will become active when you select a Marker. This will then let you Insert the selected Range into the Multitrack.
However there is a "gotcha" here in that Audition will normally only insert the audio at the beginning of a free track regardless of where the cursor is placed. you can get round this by using the Time Selection Tool in the Multitrack view to select some time in a bit of free space on a selected track. The audio region will be placed at the start of the selected time. If the time selection you made is shorter than the inserted audio you can pull the end out to include all of the region.
It sounds more complicated in writing than it actually is to do. Once you have tried it you will probably find that it is quite a quick procedure.

How to search markers from multiple sequences

I'm trying to figure out a way to search marker keywords from multiple sequences within a single PrProj file. I have several sequences imported into a single project file, and each of the sequences have several markers with keywords. Is there a way to search all the markers from all the sequences without having to select each individual sequence and search each one?

Hi Charliepus,
Is there a technical reason why this fundamental feature is not available? a reason other than "because"? that's the reason I got from support chat. seriously, the lack of global marker search is like a dictionary out of alphabetical order.
I'm not sure the exact reason, but anything's possible with software. If you have a moment, feel free to create a feature request: http://adobe.ly/feature_request
I think it would be a great (if not necessary) update to this feature.
Thanks,
Kevin

How to import markers from soundbooth cs5 into audition cs6

Hello, a series VO wav files were recorded in SB CS5 and markers where then added .
On opening them in Audition CS6 for multitrack editing all markers are missing.
Then in SB XML files of markers where exported for each file but there is no way Audition will open them, with a warning of corrupted or unsupported format.
So, how can one get either wavs (with markers) orxml markers into audition cs6 that where created in SB?

How is it, that Adobe uses these xml marker format which AE & PP will recognize (cause they were meant for the suite) but not AU!.. especially now that SB is dumped and AU is supposed to be its successor even though they coexisted previously.
Difficult with integration issues... part of the problem is that, of course, Audition wasn't integrated into the suite when SB was its audio editor - and as such didn't require to be suite-compatible.
Because I don't ever run into these problems - simply because I don't do video - I don't have all of the answers. I do have a question though; if you open your SB file in CS6 Premiere, do you have the same problem with the markers? IOW, can you use the new version as a converter, since I believe that it's possible to transfer markers back and forth (isn't it???) between Premiere and Audition in the new version. Or is that screwed as well?
So this yields the question, what format markers will AU recognize and import? any workaround that does not invovle manually adding them in AU? perhaps renaming to txt or something that AU will understand?
Probably the best person to answer this is Suite Spot, because he's the one that has done all the development work on AATranslator, and has probably forgotten more about this than the rest of us know! What I'm pretty sure of though is that SB doesn't feature in the converter.

Importing Markers from Pr / Sb / Ae CS3

I saw that 'Dools' said they figured out how to import
markers from Premiere CS3 into Flash CS3 but I still am unable to
see these markers transfer. I have tried exporting an FLV file from
Premiere with info in the Chapter field. But I don't see any cue
points in the file when I bring it into Flash. I have also tried
Soundbooth. Soundbooth does created an actual xml file but still I
don't see the corresponding cue points in Flash and would really
appreciate any tips from those that have made it work. All of the
manuals mention the capability but don't go much further.
I'm using Premium Production CS3 on Windows.
Thanks a lot,
-Scott

Here's some sample Actionscript 2.0 code (Sorry, haven't
updated it for AS3 yet) that will let you verify external XML cue
points in your Soundbooth or Premiere exported video:
Actionscript 2.0 based Flash Cue Point Data Exchange
Demonstration
Requires:
- FLVPlayback component on the Stage with an instance name of
my_FLVPlybk
- Dynamic Text Field on the Stage with an instance name of
currentCuePoint
- Cue Point XML file
var myCues:XML = new XML(); //Create XML Object
var curCueTime:Number = 0; //Set current cue point to 0
var curCueName:String = ""; //Set current cue point name to
myCues.ignoreWhite = true; //Ignore Whitespace in XML file
First, setup the onLoad routine to parse the cue file.
The file being loaded is a cue points XML file exported from
Adobe Soundbooth.
The example assumes it's relative to the swf but could also
be loaded using
http:// or file:// */
myCues.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
convertCues(myCues); // Function located at end of script
myCues.load("darjeeling_external.flv_markers.xml"); //change
these filenames
my_FLVPlybk.contentPath = "darjeeling_external.flv"; // to
match your own
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.cuePoint = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
trace("Cue Point \"" + eventObject.info.name + "\" fired at:
" + eventObject.info.time+ " (type: " + eventObject.info.type+")");
currentCuePoint.text = (eventObject.info.time + " seconds:
Cue Point \"" + eventObject.info.name + "\" (type: " +
eventObject.info.type+")");
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener("cuePoint", listenerObject);
function convertCues(cueFile) {
for (i=0; i < cueFile.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++) {
curCueTime = (Number(cueFile.firstChild.childNodes
.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue)/1000);
curCueName =
cueFile.firstChild.childNodes.firstChild.nextSibling.nextSibling.firstChild.nodeValue;
trace("Adding Cue " + i + " at time: " + curCueTime + "
named: \"" + curCueName + "\"");
my_FLVPlybk.addASCuePoint(curCueTime, curCueName);
Here's a similar block of code, but to display embedded cue
points in your FLV files:
Actionscript 2.0 based Flash Cue Point Data Exchange
Demonstration
Requires:
- FLVPlayback component on the Stage with an instance name of
my_FLVPlybk
- Dynamic Text Field on the Stage with an instance name of
currentCuePoint
var myCues:XML = new XML(); //Create XML Object
var curCueTime:Number = 0; //Set current cue point to 0
var curCueName:String = ""; //Set current cue point name to
my_FLVPlybk.contentPath = "darjeeling_embedded.flv";
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.cuePoint = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
trace("Cue Point \"" + eventObject.info.name + "\" fired at:
" + eventObject.info.time+ " (type: " + eventObject.info.type+")");
currentCuePoint.text = (eventObject.info.time + " seconds:
Cue Point \"" + eventObject.info.name + "\" (type: " +
eventObject.info.type+")");
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener("cuePoint", listenerObject);
There is a known bug in Adobe Media Encoder that prevents cue
points from being embedded in an audio-only FLV. It isn't clear
that's the case you're seeing, but if you disabled video export
when you created the FLV, that may explain the problem you're
seeing.

When I record an audio track, there is a waveform. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing?

When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?

In Logic:
Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number. It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.

How to preserve the column headings from my playlist when I transfer the list as WAV files to a flash drive?

I have digitized several old vinyls as WAV files and have them in my MacBook Pro in an iTunes playlist. I have arranged the list under the column headings of "Grouping", "Name", "Time", "Artist", "Album" and "Genre". When I copy the files to a flash drive by drag-and-drop, none of the headings except "Name" show up. How to preserve all of the column headings when copying the file to an external device? Thanks - RC@gnv.

I have the same issue when trying to sync from iTunes 11 on my MacBook to my iPhone 4 iOS6.1. I blindly did the iOS upgrade to 6.1 (more fool me) and since then have not been able to use my phone as an iPod.
I have tried restoreing it, I ve tried restoring it to a new phone but it hasn't worked for me.
The sync starts and the capacity bar in iTunes shows capacity including and music or films etc that are to be included in the sync and then iTunes stops the sync and nothing has been transfered. As with your experience the music is shown in iTunes under Music, under Devices as greyed out with the syncing icon (dotted circle) to the left of it.
When I try to include photos in the sync, I also get an error msg stating the connection to the iPhone has been lost. I am trying to do the sync vis USB, so I dont why I get this error.
I can of course download any music I've bought from Apple from my iCloud to my phone but I want to be able to put any music I want on to it like I could before on iOS5.

How do I capture a waveform on MATH1 from my TDS754D scope?

My Tektronix TDS 754D oscilloscope has a total of 11 channels: CH[1-4], MATH[1-3], and REF[1-4]. I can capture waveforms nicely from CH[1-4] using the Configure Channel VI included in the IVI drivers for my model. That VI doesn't seem to accept MATH[1-3] or REF[1-4] though. I get an error about an "invalid parameter".
So how do I capture a waveform on the MATH and REF channels?

Look under Configuration>Math Configuration for all the functions for configuring your math channels. There is a Configuration>Reference Channels palette as submenu as well.

Audio Markers in Waveform Project Disappear

Hi there,
When opening a file in the w.form editor as a project, all is fine w.form editor opens and markers from main project are present... when I save and quit and then open the "w.form file project" from the finder as a separate file it opens fine but the markers are gone!
Not sure whether I have got to change something in prefs or if this is something wrong..... please help...
Thanks in advance..
Will Adams.
Stop Press... I have found that if I open the Multitrack project ( which contains the changes made in the editor ) and then open the same file as a project again it opens the editor with the all the previously saved changes and markers are there intact!... is this the workflow that I need to take? ie. open the original multitrack project and then reopen the file in the editor as opposed to opening the saved "waveform stap" from the finder... Sorry if this message is a little confusing.

So, if you open a file in the waveform editor, move your playhead somewhere in the middle of the file, and hit 'M' on the keyboard, you can't move that marker with your mouse? I've encountered unmovable grey markers, but never unmovable green ones.
When you send a clip from Final Cut Pro and edit that clip in the waveform editor, the FCP in and out points also have immovable gray markers. Also, if you record multiple takes by recording in a loop region, all the takes go into a single file. Then when you edit one of the takes, the in and out points of that take are marked with immovable gray markers.
When applications do weird stuff, it's often fun to try that stuff while running the Console application in your Utilities folder to see if the program is writing out error messages. My applications are like little friends, and I like to imagine that Console is the only way they know of calling out for help.

Scoring Markers from FCP to STP?

Hi:
I am trying to move markers from a FCP sequence to and STP multi-track project, but no matter how I do it - Export for STP, Export to QT etc, then import the moview into WTP - I get no orange scoring markers in STP. If I Send to STP, - no orange scoring markers in STP Any suggestions?
Thanks - Jonathan
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi Jonathan,
It seems to work for me. Here's what I'm doing.
First, it appears that the markers are only seen in STP when they are added to the quicktime file (via export to quicktime or for Soundtrack from FCP).
In FCP
-Add a marker to the timeline (with no clips selected, press "m" to add a marker at the playhead, then mark->markers->edit to get the marker edit window and click on the [Add Scoring Marker], then click [ok] (the markers should show up on the FCP timeline ruler)
-Export the new quicktime with scoring markers (e.g. File->export->QuickTime Movie... or File->Export->For Soundtrack...), and make sure that under Markers you select "Audio Scoring Markers" -- for somereason this is the only setting that works (selecting "All Markers" actually seems to include all markers except scoring markers. then click [Save].
Then, in STP:
-Open a multitrack project
-Drag the newly created quicktime movie (with the scoring markers) into the video window.
-Now you should see the markers.
Note: How to get a multitrack project with scoring markers
Since, the scoring markers do not come across in a send to Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project, here's what I do:
-In FCP: perform the send to Soundtrack Pro Multitrack Project
-In FCP: export the movie as described above (except that I select "Include:Video only" on the QuickTime export screen)
-In STP: Open the multitrack project that was sent from FCP, then drag the quicktime movie created with mscoring markers into the video window of the multitrack project
Now you should have the multitrack Project sent from FCP with scoring markers.
I hope that helps

How to load a custom waveform for use with DAQ voltage generation

I would appreciate some advice on how to take a custom waveform (just a modified triangle wave with pauses at the tops and bottoms) and use that to control the voltage output from a DAQ.
Some background: My intent is to use the waveform to control mirror scanning for a LADAR imaging application . Because our DAQ (NI-6251) only has one clock, it cannot update the X and Y channel voltages independently. I'm using a triangle wave to control both axes, which works fine for the X direction. However, to prevent the Y axis from incrementally steping up after every X pixel, I'd like to construct a waveform, similar to a step pyramid, so that the Y axis remains constant over the X sweep and only updates to the next row after all X pixels are collected.
I assume I can make the desired plot in excel, and then read it in somehow - but this is where I start to get fuzzy. Can any one point me to an example or tutorial on this?
Some other questions:
1. Do I needto worry about scaling? will my custom plot need to contain a specific number of points (perhaps the exact number of pixels in the image)?
2. If I change the image dimensions, will I need to revise the control waveform in the Y axis?
Thanks in advance,
jimmy

This thread didn't appear to go anywhere. I am trying to do something similar and was looking for help. I want to create a repeating output voltage wave based off the excel file attached(with times). Is there a way to have my program match the output voltage and time with the table attached on a repeat and send that signal to the output?
Thanks,
T

How to store data from Host.vi in cRIO-9074

TejasKumar Patel
I implemented a advance Measurement and Control system using cRIO-9074
with c-Series I/O cards( NI 9217, 9411, 9264)
I have some questions about it,
(1)- Data rate from FPGA targate to host vi is too low. how can I increase
it, when I run my host VI, sometimes all temperature sensor update at
same time and sometimes one by one, can you please give me some hint, how
can I correct it, I used two FIFOs for NI-9411 digital pulses, I put all
Digital input and all analog output and input in a seperate while loop in
FPGA targate VI.
(2)- I have to write that data to analyse for further result. I tried all
possible way to write data including wite to spreadsheet.vi, write to
text.vi, Data storage.vi, Write to measurement.vi. All this VI work
efficientlywhen it run individualy, But when I connect this VI to
writedata from FPGA host VI. than it always give empty file.
I saw your post in NI discussion forum about how to write data from
Host.vi, But still I am confuse that how can I creat a protocol between
host VI and Fpga target vi. to write the data in a file. I have nearabout
38 channel to write data.
(3)- I have to measure time difference between two digital pulses, to find
a flow rate. I am using counter for it with risisng edge shot.vi, but when
i get a timestemp when there is risisng edge for the second rising edge
how can I get timestemp. Its like i have to measure time between two
pulses, I triend waveform measurement.vi to find cycle period. but it not
worked. any other was to measure it.
I am stuck in this question since from last one month. I already followed
NI-discussion forum solution but it doesnt work. I think the way I applied
is may be wrong.
Looking forward to hear from you soon.
Plese send an additional email copy to [email protected]
Thank you and Best Regards,

Thanks Joseph for your support,
1-      If I count the ticks between the pulses it always seems different ….because this method I already tried, but it does not work, like some times it shows 9099 tick and at the second pulse it shows like some more or less ticks not the same ticks every time. To complete my project, the biggest problem is the data storage.
2-      As you gives the solution in NI forum, “low level file I/O Vis such as Write to text file” FPGA target not support this VI. And mainly I want to write data from HOST.vi, because I am process those data …and I need to store it. For to figure out my result.
3-      If I use “Write to text file. VI (Sub-VI ) to FPGA.vi, it not support because it support string data and I have FIXpoint data. And can you explain me what is low level file IO, and how can I use in fpga.vi??
4-      Yes, for my project time stamp it really necessary, for data analysis.
5-      I need the time stamp to find out what was the system response at the time. As our project based on weather temperature, I need time stamp.
Waiting for your reply,
Thanks and Regards,
Patel

How to preserve manually maintained Hierachy?

Gurus,
How to preserve manually maintained Hierachy in parenth1. We are maintaining some much data manually for BPC only with hierarchy. Problem is every time when we load the hierarchy from BW system the manually maintained hierarchy gets wiped out.
We don't want to maintain BPC only hierarchy as seperate parenth2. I read this article Understanding how to Preserve Manually maintained Alternate Hierarchies with the new BPC Data Manager Package to Load from BW Hierarchies but this is maintaining as seperate parenth2 or 3.
Please suggest.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can not maintain the hierarchy in BPC and load from BW, it will be wiped out every time.
What we did was that we created a new custom hierarchy in BW with the extra nodes.

How to preserve my chained backtrace

Hi friends,
This is a peculiar problem where in the websphere created stub file for my stateless session ejb is creating a
copy of my app's exception(which has chained backtraces due to exception chaining)[i believe that it is doing this for
portability purposes] and setting those backtraces to null, so that by the time i catch this exception in the web tier, i
have no stack trace!
In the stub file for my stateless session ejb auto-generated by websphere 5.1, inside the business method,
Also, am using Local Communication, so the else gets executed.
//if remote communication with ejbs,
if (!Util.isLocal(this)) {
else //if local communication with ejbs
try {
//some exception occurs...
} catch (Throwable ex) {
//The throwable "ex" which is being used to make a copy has chained tracebacks.
//But now, the below statement is creating a copy of "ex" with all the tracebacks being set to null in the chain!
          Throwable exCopy = (Throwable)Util.copyObject(ex,_orb());
if (exCopy instanceof myappException) {
throw (myappException)exCopy; // throwing the copy with the tracebacks set to null to the web tier!
throw Util.wrapException(exCopy);
} finally {
servantpostinvoke(so);
//Inside the business implementation class for my stateless session ejb,
public mybusinessmethod () throws myappException{
try {
          //some exception occurs....
} catch (Exception e) {
               throw new myappException(e);
So, how to preserve my backtraces from being set to null by websphere's generated stub files and pass them to the web-tier??
thanks a lot

so um I'm moving my files from my computer to my mybook. And i unintentionally removed itunes in the process....so how do i recover all my music and playlists. I have a lot of music and for some reason i have a lot of duplicates. And i do not feel like sitting at my computer for 6 hours deleting every single duplicate and recreating all my playlists. Or do i have to it this way? any help would be great thanks.

How to preserve or embedded history in photo when exporting?

Does anyone know how to preserve a photo develop history when exporting to new folder so that editing can continue?

Thanks Jim and DJ - perhaps my process needs to change. I use a folder structure within each photo shoot. Capture (for all raw files) - Master (for working photos that are being edited / developed) - and finally an Output folder for photos being printed or posted to web etc. I export to each. I understand that you can always go back to the original raw capture or any point in the history but sometimes I want to compare different editions of develop settings for an image against each other while preserving both. When using a copy of an image the develop settings only start at time of copy and likewise when using an exported image the history starts from the export going forward
What I want to do is take photos from the various Master folders that have develop changes to them and move or copy them to another folder; as example a "2015 Art Show folder" for an upcoming photo exhibit etc. and then do additional develop changes specific for the Art Show - being able to see the previous develop settings would be useful during this edit phase and you could continue to work in the one folder without needing to hunt around to numerous folders all over Lightroom
I hope that explains what I am trying to do, I appreciate any ideas you may have
Thanks,
Paul
