How to rid slight echo from my audio? FC7

Hello All,
I have a slight echo from my footage. It's not horrible, but i'd like to do see if I can get rid of it. I am using Final Cut 7. Is there a built in audio filter that will help me out with getting rid of the echo so my audio sounds more direct?

You can attempt to reduce the amount of echo by applying the audio filter Expander/Noise Gate.
Effects > Audio > Final Cut Pro > Expander/Noise Gate
This filter makes loud sounds louder, and soft sound softer - so that your echo, which should be softer in volume than the intended audio, will be made even quieter in relation to the intended sound.
Some experimentation will be required, and the general rule of thumb for audio processing/fixing is that often the cure is worse than the symptom - so it may be that your original untreated audio will sound best.

Need to remove reverb/slight echo from source audio

Hello all:
And yes, yes, before I get the sanctimonious wiseguy quips about "should have recorded it right in the first place/can't get there from here" and other generally unhelpful remarks and platitudes.... "I KNOW ALREADY!"
So down to the subject at hand. I have to edit source video that was recorded in a very live room. The sound guy did his best to kill the reverb with baffles and sound blankets. etc. but some reverb/slight echo remain. Does anyone know of a software application that can at least smooth it out or advise on how to EQ it so the ring is not so noticeable?
Many thanks
AS

Thanks for all the responses. I've actually fixed it using a combination of eq and a super sensitive noisegate filter. It was pain to do but got the job done. Phew. < </div>
I'm trying to figure out a response to this that would equal your original's presupposition but the best I can do is say thanks for offering up a helpful contribution to the "remove reverb" discussions. Future searches will find your thread and maybe you have given them some hope.
Numerous threads on the same topic often end in frustration because, literally, nothing can be done to reduce echoic reverberation because the overlapping sounds are picked up by a single microphone.

How do I stop iTunes from compressing audio/photos when transferred to IOS device? (iPad

Hello,
     I have noticed that 13GB of photo's only equals around 3GB on the iPad and iPhone. I noticed the same thing with audio. Although, I do not notice the compression with video.
     My question is, how do I stop it from compressing photo's if I want to? I understand it saves space, but what if I wanted to email the full size photo to someone. This also may defeat the purpose of some editing programs. I would like to know how to do the same with audio.
     It does not affect the original files in anyway, correct? Also, I using the manual drag and drop option for Movies and audio. I sync with the photos.

With syncing photos you can't change how they are synced, iTunes will 'optimise' them when copying them over to the device - and no, the original photos on your computer are not affected, iTunes creates separate 'optimised' versions of the photos on your computer and copies those over.
If you want the original versions of the photos on your iPad then (and if there were only a few that you wanted full-scale) you could email them to yourself and use 'open in' in the Mail app to copy them to the Photos app, or use the camera connection kit with your iPad to copy them via an SD card to it - photos copied via the kit are copied full resolution, they aren't changed.
Or there are third-party photo management apps such as Photo Manager Pro which can copy photos to/from your computer via the 'file sharing' section on the device's Apps tab in iTunes, they will be copied as-is - that app can also copy photos to/from it and the Photos app.
For your music, on the device's Summary tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, under the Options heading have you currently got the 'convert higher bit rate songs to ...' set ?

How do I get songs from an audio DVD to iTunes?

I have an audio DVD (no not a movie, I'm not trying to take audio from movies) whose songs I would like to import to iTunes. Trouble is, when I put it into the drive, iTunes doesn't try to put the songs on iTunes, presummably because the disc is not a CD but a DVD. How do I get the songs from my audio DVD to my iTunes?

It is probably not a good idea to leave your e-mail on a public forum.
You can do a forum search as this is asked and answered very often.
You should have your music backed up. You can use your backup to move the music to the computer.

How to make a movie from an audio file and 1 static image?

Hi,
I want to make a movie that it is basically an 8 minutes audio file and I want to have a background picture that is static and stays there during the whole 8 minutes of my audio.
How can I do that?
I'm able to add the audio and the picture, however I can't stretch the picture to 8 minutes.
My iMovie version is 5.0.2
Thanks,
Martin

Hi mcanovas - Simply duplicate the picture as many times as needed. In the Photos pane you can extend the pic to 30 seconds, so duplicate that 16 times and there you go!
I hope the audience will stay focused

Adding BPM info' to files imported from original audio CD's. HELP!!!

If you can offer any help, it is MUCH needed & will be much appreciated!
I am in the process of digitising my entire CD collection (100's of them!). I am running iTunes 4 on my iBook G4 (OS 10.3.9). I've worked out how to import & catalogue files - from original audio CD's to iTunes 4 - no problem.
I aim to import all at the highest quality possible (files need to be "broadcast quality" - for playing through a big PA system) & have been advised to import all using the AAC encoder at a stereo bit rate of 320 kbps with a sample rate of 48.000 kHz. If anyone knows of settings for a higher qulaity, please advise.
I am then getting track info (track names, album names etc) in the normal manner (via iTunes data base query). No worries with this, all info has been located & appears to be acurate.... HOWEVER.... no BPM info downloads with the title list? There is a dialogue window in iTunes that should contain BPM info but it is empy!
I really need the BPM info to further catalogue my playlists. How & where do I download this information... or is there a way to get iTunes to calculate BPM's & add it to my existing lists?
As you may have guessed, this info is invaluable to me as I am a DJ. I would be keen to hear from other DJ's out there, who are using iTunes & Traktor 5 (or similar live remix software).
All the best & many thanks - Sweetamix.
Ibook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

If you want the highest quality, AIFF (lossless uncompressed) or Apple Lossless (lossless compressed) would be the choice.
AAC is a lossy compressed format and won't give you the highest quality, although 320 kbps sounds very good on my audio system (but that's not a PA system).
Audio CDs are 44.100 kHz 16 bit, so importing at 48.000 doesn't make sense to me.
DVD audio often is 20 bit 48.000 kHz.
BPM information is not on Audio CD's. the only BPM's I've got in the library are from my own 'creations' with Garageband and a handful of mp3's.

How can I get my ES2 loops to play correctly? I keep getting the message that the audio is not found when I drag the loops from my audio browser even though they play fine in the preview.

How can I get my ES2 loops to play correctly? I keep getting the message that the audio is not found when I drag the loops from my audio browser even though they play fine in the preview.

It's exactly as I stated. Whenever I try to drag these kinds of loops (ESX24 / software instrument loops? the ones marked in green with the white music note next to them) from the loop browser into the timeline a message comes up saying Audio Not Found for that loop. And a new track is created automatically when loops are dragged into the timeline, so I'm not creating some other random / synth instrument track so I'm not sure what the deal is... But perhaps I'll try creating a software instrument track first and then drag the loop into that track and see what happens - maybe there's something with the default settings that automatically creates audio tracks whenever loops are imported?

Save the file from Gmail onto your computer and add it to iTunes. How you save from Gmail is a Gmail question (their own support pages), not an iTunes question.

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

How can I create an audio CD from the audio only portion of my iMovie?

Hello, I brought in about 50 min of Digital video into iMovie, I separated (split) the audio from the video, I unlocked the audio, I deleted the video, and now I want to just create an audio CD from the audio that is left.
Can I do this? and if yes how? If I can not, how can I create an Audio CD from on my G5 off a tape on my digital camcorder?
Any help would be apprecaited.

This is how:
Go to:
'File'
'Share'
'Quicktime'
'Expert Settings'
'Audio as AIFF' or pick your brand of compression.
Drag and drop the resulting file into iTunes.
Enjoy!
P.S. - You didn't need to delete the video but I think that'll be okay.

I need to copy audio files and projects from logic to an external hard as my MBPis nearly full and my external hard drive has packed up with all my files on it, any suggestions on how do I copy 200GB from my MBP to a new external HD

I Use logic and back my audio file and projects on an external HD ,this has now packed up . I have all the files in the MBP , but need to copy them to a new external HD, I have only 10GB left on my machine , how do I copy 200GB from my machine to a new External HD.
any helpful full advice would be appreciated.

Yes, just drag and drop them into the drive..
How long will it take? Hard to say without knowing the type and speed of the drives in question.. and even then it's hard to estimate... but does time really matter?
The fact you only have 10 Gigs left will/may slow the process down but it wont/shouldn't stop it...
If needed.. just drag and drop some of the files at a time.. not all of them.
Remember that copying files doesn't delete them from the original drive... You will still need to delete them yourself after they are copied over and empty the trash....
However....
When you saved these projects in Logic (Pro X?) did you save them using the include audio files option?
If not, then when you move the audio files used in these projects... Logic will not know where they are to reload them........ and that will cause you issues.
So.. if you didn't...
I would use this method instead...

I have some audio files on my previous phone which I would like to export to my new iPhone 5. I am told that you can only import files from iTunes. Is that true? If not, how do I import files from my phone - or my Macbook pro laptop-to my phone? Thanks!

iTunes will only import music from your phone that was purchased from the iTunes store. To transfer music from other sources you have to use 3rd party software, such as PhoneView.

Imported analog video successfully and it is normal in the "Event" pane but when I move a clip into the "Project" pane, it enlarges it slightly and distorts it. How can I keep that from happening?
