Import audio file logic to MainStage

Hi there!
     I did cut an audio file in Logic and I can't import this file in Mainstage. But the full audio file working. Seems to be the modification with Logic cannot be import by mainstage???
Thanks

I don't think it's a simple option to allow audio tracks to appear in groups because of the basic Motion workflow.
And I don't think it's limiting thinking. You have to consider what a program was designed for vs what it can do. End Users inevitably put programs to uses which the program itself was never intended and that's fine, but just because you work with audio one way in FCP doesn't mean that Motion should have the same workflow. Particularly if it impedes the main function of the program.

  • The audio file is not recognized by Logic. Can't import audio files?

    Hi,
    The audio files are on my desktop. Logic 9.1.1 will not recognize them and gives me this message when I try to drag and drop OR Import Audio File OR use Audio Bin.
    As far as I know, I am using wave files (extension .wav). So what could be the problem. Here's a picture of how the files look on my desktop.
    The regular silver and blue iTunes icons look like this when I Get Info:
    The black iTunes icons look like this when I Get Info:
    Importantly, the black iTunes (only 2 out of the 18 audio files) are the ones that actually import. Does it have something to do with the fact that it shows under "More Info > Audio Channels 1" vs. the silver and blue iTunes .wav files (which do NOT have this)?
    Furthermore, here is the process I used to get the audio files in the first place. On my PC, I exported audio files from my Ableton Live project onto a thumbdrive. I copied the audio files from my thumbdrive to my Mac. Maybe this had something to do with it.
    Also, as you can see, under Sharing and Permissions > there is only "read and write" for all names, so it's not a permissions thing.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your reply.
    +Can you play them as Preview (select in Finder, hit spacebar)?+ No. The black iTunes icons play with no sound and the silver and blue iTunes icons do not even come up in Preview at all.
    +Will iTunes play them?+ Only the black iTunes files (2 out of the 18). When I click on a silver and blue icon'd file, it will not even open in iTunes.
    why on the desktop? it was just a temporary thing. I was not able to pull them into my Audio Bin. I tried what you suggested. I put the files in the Audio Files folder of my project. When I go to open them from within Logic by Import Audio File, they are visible but greyed out. I don't use the desktop except for testing stuff like you do.
    +How was the thumb drive formatted? FAT32 or other DOS-format, or Mac OS Extended (HFS)?
    +the extension is not where apps look to recognize an audio file format, it is the header data. Some audio programs can read RAW audio files, but more about that after your reply to this one.+ It is formatted MS-DOS (FAT 32).
    (*I wrote all this stuff above while I was working and waiting for the PC to write to my thumbdrive again*******finally I got everything to show up.
    I loaded the files again from the thumbdrive. This time they were all in the black iTunes format, and I put them directly in the Audio Files folder like you suggested. After some doing everything works fine. Weird.
    Thanks!

  • Importing Audio Files From CD

    New to Logic Express 9
    I tried this for the first time last night and had some trouble. A bass track imported...looked like a bass instrument but sounded like an overhead drum mic??? I just clicked "Import Audio Files" and went directly to the CD. These were wav files so I'm thinking it is a coversion issues. Checked the file with Itunes and it's definitely a bass track. What's the best way to accomplish this import?
    Thanks

    It's becoming obvious that the program has become corrupted in some way. I have a session that I closed in good shape only to find the next time I opened it that all the sends were activated and even after turning all the sends off I'm still getting bleed from two or three tracks in a single track.
    In this current session I tried muting the problem bass track and dragging it again from the audio bin into another track. This time it's got sax on it although visually the wav looks the same as the original bass track.
    I guess I'll have to call Apple Care...jeeze!

  • Imported audio files are repeating same audio on objects in a slide

    Hi
    I can't find anything here that mentions the problem I am having.
    I am using Captivate 4. And Neospeechs desktop VoiceText program to record audio files outside of Captivate. They are saved as WAV files, then I import the audio into Captivate.
    I have various objects on a slide. For example, I have six text Rollover Captions. When you roll over them, some text is displayed. I have attached my audio files to these rollover objects. So, I would have audio1.wav, audio2.wav, audio3.wav etc and these play when you roll over the captions.
    The issue I am having, is that when I Publish or Preview the project, sometimes the wrong audio file is playing upon rollover. Usually the first couple of caption/file combinations will work, so I get audio1.wav for caption1 and audio2.wav for caption2, but then say for captions 3,4,5,6 I am still getting audio1.wav playing!
    I have doubled checked everything and the correct audio files are attached to the captions. And they all play correctly in Edit view.
    I've just noticed this has happened again in a different Captivate 4 project, where I have about 6 lines of Text Animation, with an audio file for each text animation. They have been distributed across the timeline so that the text animations do not overlap, and yet I am still hearing imported audio files repeated.
    If anyone can help to shed any light on this, i'd be grateful, as I'm totally stumped!
    thanks
    Lolly

    Have you got the correct selection buttons at the bottom left of the Files panel enabled under Sort by:?

  • Captivate 2  Vista unable to import audio files

    Hi
    I have had an audio problem with Captivate 2 and Vista -
    There is a hot fix to enable recording which works.I did that
    ... . but I am unable to import audio files.. even those that came
    with Captivate 2 in the gallery give me the same error message..
    unable to decode & import wav/mp3 file.
    Does anyone have a solution!! Need to do a demo next week!!
    thanks
    phil

    Hi Phil
    I don't suppose using Captivate on Windows XP is an option
    for you? This would seem to be a Vista related issue. Captivate 2
    may work to an extent on Vista, but it would appear this may be one
    of the "gotchas" one may encounter when using it in this
    environment.
    The good news is that Captivate 3 was announced today and
    will work on Vista. I know this doesn't help you immediately, but
    will provide an answer before too long.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Automator Action "Import Audio Files" error message

    I use this automator action daily when it is activated via an alarm time in iCal. It is the 3rd workflow run in a series of 7 worlflows to create audio files while I'm at work (I record XM programming for use later on my iPod). Since I upgraded to OSX Lion yesterday, I'm getting a new error message I've never seen and I can't find any info on it. Can anyone help? The error message in a popup dialogue box is:
    The action “Import Audio Files” encountered an error.
    Check the actionʼs properties and try running the workflow again.
    Under the Log for the workflow I get this message:
    The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus error -1712.) (-1712)
    The imported audio file does actually get inputted into iTunes and converted properly via iTunes, but the error creates two problems. One is the source file isn't deleted after the action runs (which is a checkbox option in that particular action). This isn't a big deal, because I can create another workflow seperately to delete the file, so I'm not as concerned with that. The major problem is that the error dialoge box displays and the sebsequent workflows that are scheduled to run right after this one can't run becasue Automator is occupied with the error message.
    I'm looking for any advice I can find, I've been using this series of workflows for a long time without issue, but seems like everytime there is a new OS I have to go through the geriatrics of figuring out what slight changes apple made to the Automator actions.
    Thanks for reading,
    Chris

    Hi,
    I just solved the problem pretty easily: earlier, on Snow Leopard, automator had to be set to work in 32bit instead of 64bit otherwise there has been a lot of error messages. 
    I tried to do the same with iTunes on Lion and, oh miracle, it works:
    close iTunes then go to Applications -> right click on iTunes -> read informations -> check the box to run the app in 32bits and restart iTunes and .... that's it.
    I work in a local radio in Belgium and I rely on automator on an everyday basis to download then add prerecorded broadcasts to iTunes to be aired with Lion server and I was stuck since a few weeks because of that problem. Now I can finally work again :-)
    English is not my native language so please forgive me for my mistakes ... :-)
    Apple RULES (but you already know that )

  • It is very difficult to import audio files from extern drives (NAS) into the new garageband

    it is very difficult to import audio files from extern drives (NAS) into the new garageband.

    Are you trying to open an audio file in GarageBand or a GarageBand project?
    To open an audio file drag it from your NAS to a real-instrument track in GarageBand.
    If you are trying to open a GarageBand project - can you open the same project, if you copy it to your system drive?

  • Can't import audio files into Logic Pro

    I have some original compositions previously recorded on a Windows PC that I want to work on in Logic Pro. However, despite converting them to .raw, mp3, apple tiff and having the original file as. Wav, Logic Pro doesn’t recognise them; they’re all greyed out when I try to import or open, even though they play ok in I-tunes? How can I resolve this?

    .raw is not recognized by Apple. What format is this? Is this an audio file format?
    .mp3... well, if you like that kind of degraded sound...
    .tiff is an IMAGE file format. Whatever made you think this would work?
    I think you have renamed the file extensions one too many times...and the Apple machine is confused. Try starting over.
    Also, try to look at the info pane for each file, and make SURE it is seen as a .wav file AND that the file is set to read / write, not locked.

  • Importing Audio Files to SFX library .wav .aif .aiff mp3 PLEASE HELP

    I apologize in advance if this has already been answered but could not find it in the forum and Tech support advised me to ask here.
    I need to import some sound effect files into iMovie 'library'. I have tried everything but no luck. Even tried doing it thru Garageband. I downloaded these .wav, .aif .aiff.mp3 files from mostly from the http://www.freesound.org/forum/profile.php and then right clicked in downloads window to locate on disk and saved them in my Music folder but when I try to open them in iMovie they are not there. Any ideas?

    Hi Eriksimon,
    Thank you very much for your reply, I did copy the folder from the DVD to my hard disk and I checked that the Universal track mode is enabled. The audio files on the DVD are two mono files, one left and one right. for example I have two piano files as follow: Piano _03.L.wav and Piano _03.R.wav
    when I copied the Piano _03.L.wav to logic it appeared Piano _03#1.L in the arrange window and it shows the stereo symbol on the audio region for it. when I try and copy the Piano _03.R.wav it appears Piano _03#2.L and it shows the stereo symbol as well. I am really confused!!
    Thanks again, I really appreciate it

  • Import audio file - how?

    How do I import an aiff, mp3, wave (etc) file into Garageband 3.0.1(73)?
    I want to audio edit a previously recorded (not from Garageband) standard audio file. Maybe I will even add tracks after I get this import problem solved.
    I'm new to the program, and could not find anything in the help menu about doing this.
    Thanks.

    It'll drop where ever you click, so if you want it at measure one, and that's not exactly where you were when you dragged it, you may have to move it where you really want it. Many of us like to start a song or project at measure 2 to leave some space at the beginning in case we need it for some reason.
    A nice perk would be if you could "assign" the 1st measure where ever you want, to be able to better know where you are in a song. Just a thought. As far as I know, that is not possible in Logic, either. But having a measure -1 or more would be real handy if you use the measure count to navigate, yes? That way you wouldn't have to think in terms of measure 2= measure 1.

  • How can I edit an imported audio file?

    I have imported an audio file from a cassette tape using ION Tape Express which imports into iTunes. Unfortunately there is a long silence when the tape switched sides and I would like to edit it out. Is it possible to do this in GB11?

    Having downloaded mainstage additional content I find a number of wave files are missing. Example Exs24 'Full Strings Legato.exs' audio file KB-L_legato_p_A(hash)1.wav. How can I find and download them?

  • Import audio files and assign to slides during import

    There must be a way if Articulate '09 can do this.....
    I have exported 42 audio files into mp3 format using the Advanced Audio Management Panel in Captivate 6. I ran these through a tool to normalize the volumes (MP3gain).
    I now want to go back to the original file, delete the old audio, and import and assign the new files to each slide without having to drag each one from the library to the individual slides.
    How can I do this? (The Audio Management Panel would seem like the most likely way, but I only see an export, no import function.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi there
    Captivate 3 was certainly Adobe. But Captivate 3 is about as similar to Captivate 7 or 8 as a 2000 model vehicle is to a 2007. Things change. Captivate radically changed. Version 5 changed the playing field dramatically because Adobe re-wrote the application and the entire interface changed.
