Import OMF Convert Split stereo to interleaved

Is there a way when importing an omf from Pro tools into Logic 9 so convert the split stereo files into
interleaved while importing?

No, but you can do it after the import from the bin. Just select the file (s) and choose "copy convert" from the Audio file window, then select "split to interleaved" from the stereo conversion drop down menu.
Or ( from the bin again )
You can Choose Edit > Reconnect All Split Stereo File

  • ADAT stereo recorded as split mono: best way to convert to stereo?

    Hello everyone,
    I have session material on an ADAT that have stereo files split on two mono tracks (e.g. channels 1 & 2) and thus were recorded in logic on mono audio tracks (e.g.1 & 2). What is the next step to insure easy editing abilities?
    For example, is there a “link” button similar to FCP that will allow edits to effect both tracks? If not, should bounce the two audio tracks into one stereo track? “Convert to Stereo” does not work in the audio window, as Logic does not recognize these as split stereo files. Same seems to apply for "convert regions to new audio files" in the arrange window.
    Thanks in advance for your help! Sorry for the newbe question, I dont work with audio that often, especially coming from DAT.

    Is it really worth it/necessary? I will in the future make sure to record them as stereo tracks. I guess experience is the best teacher

  • Splitting Stereo Files

    How do you split stereo files in Logic? Anyone? Whenever I import a stereo file, it comes as one interleaved track. I change the track to accept stereo files (at the bottom of the fader in the lower left hand corner) and even when I double-click on the file, I see two channels, yet I can't alter them. Is there a way to fix this? Please help. Thanks.

    How do you split stereo files in Logic?
    I see two channels, yet I can't alter them. Is there a way to fix this?
    Is your question: "How do I split a stereo interleaved file into two mono files with Logic?" or is your question "How do I use split stereo (dual-mono) files in Logic?"
    For the first, there are options in the audio window to convert and split files.
    If it's the second, then you can turn "Universal Track mode" OFF in your audio preferences - now all channels are mono and stereo files are controlled by two mono faders.
    However, working in this mode is kinda ugly and has some disadvantages, but if you prefer it, fair enough.
    Finally, if you just want to be able to process left and right channels of a stereo file independently, you can always route to a couple of busses and pan left or right to get the two halves, or duplicate your stereo track and select "Left channel only" and "Right channel only" by click holding on the O-OO stereo channel selector.
    Does that help?

  • PPRO CS5.5 - Clumsy handling of Split Stereo Files

    Hi....
    I work in ProtoolsHD and thus with Split-Stereo files which is standard in that part of the industry.
    I would have thought that PPRO would conform to standards and recognize i.e. AudioFile.L & AudioFile.R as being a stereo-pair.
    It does not.
    So I went ahead and created TWO mono tracks, then selected the .L & .R audio file in the project panel, wanting to drag them into the PPRO timeline.
    Instead of putting the files on the two monaural audio tracks, PPRO would put them on the same track only .R would be inserted AFTER .L.
    Not very pleasing when dealing with 100 audio clips. And NOT conforming to professional audio standards at all
    I went back to PT and interleaved all the splits. But this is not very economical as in case changes are to be made to the score later on.
    Then I would have to, in ProtoolsHD, first change the Split and THEN again, convert it to interleaved.
    Not a HUGE problem but for an NLE with the word PRO in it, I sure would come to expect that it would handle and recognize Split Stereo Files
    Thanks

    Jeff,
    thanks for chiming in... However, when you import a split stereo file it worx like this
    AudioFile.L
    AudioFile.R
    Two files. Not one.
    PPRO does not recognize the Split stereo elements and treats them as two monural files.
    So when you open the modify audio file dialog it will only open either one at a time and look like below
    Thanks for taking the time to post, though !

  • Convert/Mixdown Stereo Wav to Mono Wav

    Hello,
    i have a problem with automating Quicktime via Applescript. I´ve got thousands of two channel stereo interleaved pcm coded (aif, wav) audio files that i want to convert to split stereo files, i.e. mystereo.wav --> mystereo.L.wav AND mystereo.R.wav
    I found a solution to save a QT-export-settings file with Applescript following these instructions: http://lists.apple.com/archives/QuickTime-Users/2002/Nov/msg00294.html. So this is how i made the export set to MONO!
    My idea was to open the stereo interleaved file, set the pan to left, export to mono, then set the pan to right and export again to mono. I automated theses actions with applescript and it seems to work. BUT ...
    Unfortunately quicktime exports 2.0 stereo tracks (one channel silent, the other with programme) instead of following the export settings and merge to mono?
    Am i doing something wrong?
    Why behaves QT this way?
    How can i force quicktime to export mono files?
    Thanks in advance for your answers.
    b.

    Not sure about the Applescript part (I am just delving into that myself), but the method I use to output separate L and R channel mono files from a stereo interleaved in Quicktime is as follows:
    1) Open the stereo file, bring up the Movie Properties window (Command-J)
    2) Click the "Soundtrack" entry in the list, then click the "Audio Settings" tab
    3) On the right hand side of the window is a list of Channel Assignments.
    4) For your Left channel export, assign channel 1 to "Left" and channel 2 to "Unused" from the pop-up list.
    5) Choose "Export" from the file menu, select "Sound to WAVE" or "Sound to AIFF"
    6) Click the "Options" button, choose your setttings, and make sure that "Mono" is selected in the Channels setting.
    7) Name the file "mystereo.L.wav"
    Repeat steps 4-7 for the Right channel (e.g. set Channel 1 to "Unused" and Channel 2 to "Right")
    Let me know if you get anywhere with the Applescript, I do this manually every week to separate L and R channels for a podcast I produce, and would love to have a more automated way to deal with it.

  • "disconnect split stereo files" not working

    I'm trying to split a stereo audio file into two mono files (manual page 855):
    Disconnecting Split Stereo Files
    Both sides of a split stereo file are normally edited together. On
    occasion, however, you may need to edit one side individually.
    To disconnect a split stereo file:
    1 Select (either side of) the split stereo file in the Audio Bin.
    2 Choose Edit > Disconnect Selected Split Stereo File.
    You can now edit both sides of the recording as individual mono files. This function will
    only disconnect one split stereo file at a time.
    When I select the stereo file in the Audio Bin and choose "disconnect selected split stereo file", the following pops up:
    "please select exactly the split stereo audio file you want to disconnect"
    I thought I was?
    I see the two interconnected circles signifying a stereo file. I choose that file and follow the instructions above but I cannot split the file.

    I think I misunderstood. You don't have a split stereo file, you want to split an interleaved file. I see no split stereo files (suffix .L and .R) in your screenshot, so...
    From the local Audio Bin menu, choose *Copy/Convert File(s)*
    In the conversion dialog, set *Stereo Conversion* to *Interleaved to Split*. Check the *Add to Audio Bin* option. Now two files, suffixed .L and .R, will appear in the audio bin. These are split stereo files.
    regards, Erik.
    Oh, and this is how to post screenshots:
    The pic needs to be online
    Once you've uploaded it, go to where it is uploaded, right- or ctrl-click on the picture and choose *Copy Link Location*. Go to your post and add the following syntax to it:
    {IMG src="pastecopiedImageLocation"}
    You must substitute < and > for the {}braces shown above, and +the quotation marks are essential+.
    Use the Preview tab (right above the five format buttons) when writing a post to check if the screenshot shows up in your post, before actually posting it.

  • Odd issue when splitting stereo files..

    One very useful feature in AA CS 5.5 is splitting stereo wavs into two mono files. I work in games developer and need this.
    But an issue has arisen with a tool I use that converts to a particular format for Sony PSP games: it doesn't like these split files. It's fine with the stereo files and with other mono samples, but not the product of the "Split to Mono" function.
    Does something happen to the .wavs when this is carried out; are they 'different' in some way? Opening them and using "Save As.." to create a new file solves the problem but it would be good to know why it's happening.

  • Space Designer - Loading Split Stereo IR's

    Hi,
    First of all please accept my apologies if this question has been answered before.
    I've finally started creating presets for the 100's of IR's I have, and I just wanted to check that my assumption is correct: When attempting to load a split stereo IR, does selecting one side (say left) automatically load both sides? Based on what I can hear it seams to but i just wanted to confirm this.
    The Plug-In Manual (page 120) doesn't specifically say anything about this. It just says:
    "Simply browse to the desired file, and click OK. Any mono, stereo or split stereo AIFF, SDII or WAV file can be used."
    Again, sorry for being so dense about all this.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank so much much guys.
    What's the best way of joining split stereo files? Some of the IR's weren't connected to the opposite side.
    If I highlight both of them in the Audio Window and select the convert/copy command from the edit menu will that be that same as if I'd added them to the arrange window and bounced the as stereo. Ideally I'd rather not use the scond method.
    Thanks again.

  • Import OMF into Premiere

    Hello,
    How do I import OMF file into Premiere? Has Exported out OMF file from Premiere earlier and made finishing in ProTools, and will now import the OMF file back into Premiere. Is this possible? If not what is the easiest solution? We will do some cutting changes, it would have been fine with sound in sync.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your post. As per the workflow Premiere pro can export the OMF files but It is unable to import the OMF files. The OMF's are not in the supported list of audio formats that Premiere Pro imports. The format supported for importing in Premiere pro are listed below. You can import the file if you change the format of the audio using any third party converter and then export it again in OMF.

  • Wav import - wavs displayed on stereo file appear identical.

    I import a wav file, stereo, with 2 instruments on it. One instrument is on the LEFT channel, the other is on the Right channel. Once GarageBand displays it, the wavs look identical. They sound different, as I can pan left and right and hear different instruments, but the wav graph is identical for each channel.
    What's up with this...?

    OK I got around to trying different formats, to see if that is the problem.
    I've converted them from CD (created with a CD burner as CD Audio Files),to all 5 formats that ITUNES converts to, making sure I choose stereo. (wav,mp3,lossless,aac,aiff).
    I've imported each into GB, and the same problem exists no matter the format.
    The wav form displayed for each channel is identical. Panning left or right isolates the instruments, verifying they should display differently.
    Difficult to trust anything GB displays I would think, until we know what it's doing and why.

  • Packing Split Stereo Files in a Take (Comp) Folder

    Hi everybody
    is it possible to pack Stereo Split Files in a take-folder. I can do this with interleaved files, but not with split stereo files..
    Thanks Bernhard

    Hi,
    Except for composite.xml, none of the other files you mentioned(wsdl file, xsd, .jca, .xml etc.) have code in them. .jca file is like config file for JCA Adapters,wsdl and xsd are service artifacts.
    The control starts with the endpoint of the service and would propagate to the other components of the composite like mediator,bpel,human taskflow or references like database adapter,JMS adapter depending on the composite design.

  • Acrobat Pro 9 Organizer??!!!...PLEASE Help...How to import or convert Collections from Acrobat Pro 8

    I guess it should have been obvious...but after installing Acrobat 9 Pro...from version 8 Pro...all of my Organizer collections are not there at all. When looking under: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\9.0......
    There is a file called: Organizer90.
    Is there ANY way to import or convert acrobat 8 Organizer collections to acrobat 9????
    This should have been obvious when upgrading. I even tried copying the directory from 8 into the same subdirectory as 9...but no luck.
    PLEASE..help....desparate...I have numerous collections....there has to be some solution....
    Thanks!
    P.s...does anybody know what preference to use to stop Acrobat 9 from opening "separate" windows for multiple files? This is desktop litter...not really needed...and I'd like to disable it. :)

    Hi Eric,
    The file will never open in Mac Preview because Preview doesn't know how to decrypt it. The reason Preview thinks that the file is corrupt because it is encountering the encrypted data which appears to Preview to be junk. Only an application that has PDF decryption capabilities (e.g. Adobe Reader or Acrobat) will be able to open the file.
    As an aside, the file is in Acrobat 7.0 and later format (i.e. it uses the PDF-1.6 file structure) and although the encryption algorithm is one that Acrobat 5 understands (128-bit RC4) there are other elements in the file that cannot be displayed in Acrobat 6.x and earlier. Although Michael noted above that he was able to open the file in versions 5 and 6, the display would have been degraded.
    Assuming that the persons having trouble opening the file are not using Preview, but are indeed using Reader 9.0, are there any alert dialogs that come up when they try to open the file? And as Phil asked above, what system (OS and language) are they on?
    Also, because the Open Password edit box doesn't display until the entire file has been downloaded, it is possible that on slower systems that it appears that the file won't open.
    Thanks,

  • How do I bounce two mono split stereo files to one mp3?

    Might sound like a stupid question, but I have several problems:
    I bounced a waveburner-mix of my favorite songs as a split stereo file and inserted the two files in two logic mono audio tracks.
    First problem: Do I have to pan the left audio-track left and the right to the right or do I keep them centered?
    Second problem: The two tracks are louder than the original track. (no matter, if they are panned or centered. Shouldn´t the original have the same volume at my output-channel?
    Third problem: Is it possible to bounce more than 2 GB with Logic 8? The mix is very long and when I want to bounce it, logic tells me that it is too big. Can I bounce larger files with logic 9 under OS 10.6?

    Felix Bartelt wrote:
    Last question remaining: Can I bounce larger files under Logic 9 and OS 10.7. or does L9 also have the 2 GB restriction?
    No and no. The file size restriction is not Logics' restriction, it is a restriction of the file type itself. To be able to bounce longer and/or bigger files, use .caf.
    From the manual:
    +AIFF: The AIFF file format cannot handle audio file recordings larger than 2 GB:+
    ++For 16-bit, 44.1 kHz stereo files, this equals a recording time of about 3 hours and 15 minutes.+
    +For 24-bit, 96 kHz, 5.1 surround files, this equals a recording time of about 20 minutes.+
    +WAVE (BWF): The WAVE file format cannot handle audio file recordings larger than 4 GB:+
    +For 16-bit, 44.1 kHz stereo files, this equals a recording time of about 6 hours and 30 minutes.+
    +For 24-bit, 96 kHz, 5.1 surround files, this equals a recording time of about 40 minutes.+
    +CAF: If the size of your recording exceeds the above limits, choose the CAF (Apple Core Audio Format) file format, which can handle the following recording times:+
    +About 13 hours and 30 minutes at 44.1 kHz+
    +About 6 hours at 96 kHz+
    +About 3 hours at 192 kHz+
    +The bit depth and channel format—mono, stereo, or surround— *do not affect* the maximum recording size of CAF files.+

  • Splitting stereo tracks to mono for separate editing?

    Does anyone know of a way to split a stereo track into two mono tracks inside of Logic Pro 8?
    I'll explain my problem, I have a track made from samples of a song. In the track that I recorded, there is one particular sound that I can't get rid of no matter how hard I try. I recorded the passage with the ESX24 in stereo and I noticed that the noise is only on the left track. My first solution was to pan the track all the way right, create a duplicate of that and pan it hard left. Unfortunately, it loses a lot of clarity and texture when I use this method..
    Looking on the forums, all I could find was instructions to bounce the tracks to split stereo, but I need them to form separate tracks within Logic so I can apply a LowPass filter to the problematic left track, then mix them back together as one stereo track later....
    Any suggestions?

    You guys are talking about different things. The OP says he's using an exs24 instrument with a sample that has a noise on one side of the stereo field of a SAMPLE not an audio region recorded into logic. Samples used by the EXS24 are not added to the audio bin, only into the EXS24's RAM. You could pan the instrument track to the side without the noise, and then output the result to a bus track that is set to MONO. That will pan your one sided sampler back to center. You can also bring the sample into logic (using the browser) and then split it as eriksimon suggested, and then create a new EXS24 instrument using only the good side of the sample.

  • Importing OMF files
