Importing audio voice file changes the pitch in Logic Express

I noticed something weird with my Logic Express 7. When I import an audio voice file. The pitch seems to be lower in Logic when I play the file than compared to the original file. Does anyone know what could be causing the pitch change? I though I was going crazy, but something is definitely change the pitch when I import an audio file.

Hi,
The only thing I can think of right off is that the original is a higher sampling rate file than what you have set for LE.

Changing the pitch of an audio file

Hi all, how can I change the pitch (make it sound like its gone up a key). I can see that I can seem to select the audio and go into the sample editor and do factory > time and pitch editor and change it but since its destructive I don't know whether to do it as I'm still using the sample elsewhere in the track. Will it alter the others too?

if it's only going up a tone, why not try the pitch shift plug in?
OK, if its vocals it'll sound cack, but for most other things in a mix it works.
Or buy melodyne uno.
Convert it into a new region b4 you do anything to though if you use time machine.

How to change the pitch of a sound file

This is not an iTunes problem, but
I don't know where else to go and it is iTunes-mp3 related.
I play keyboards and sometimes
the tune I wish to accompany playing in iTunes is just a bit
off. I can't change my keyboard settings for that.
Is there any small application (from Apple or another company) that could enable
me to change the pitch (*fractions of a semi-tone*)
of an mp3-4 file and save it back in a format
that can be read by iTunes without changing the speed of the sound of course.
There use to be an amazing program in Classic: SoundEdit. It did anything and easy!
Why didn't they make it for OSX....
Thanks a bunch
iMac, Leopard, iTunes 9, E-MU 61 Keyboard
(There is software that came with the keyboard but it's just
too darn complicated, I don't get any of it). I prefer using
little programs like Easy Beat (which can only change the pitch by whole semi-tones unfortunately, I
need smaller steps than that).

Oh boy, there's a freeware beats per minute analyzer that is really part of a DJ package for Macs that includes this. I don't have a link to it but maybe that would give you a lead on a web search.

I imported some AVI files. The audio is over modulated in Premiere, but fine in any other player.

HOW DO I CHANGE THE PITCH OF A MP3 TRACK IN GARAGE BAND 10.0.02

HOW DO I CHANGE THE PITCH OF A MP3 TRACK IN GARAGE BAND 10.0.02 , i could do it in old version looking at the you tube video, now the screen looks different cant find how to do it. Can some one put up a video please
Thanks

There are three ways:
Use an AuPitch filter on the track
Or turn the audio region into a loop
Enable "Follow Tempo and Pitch" for the track and use the transposition slider (that does not always work reliably)
To add an AuPitch filter:
Enable the audio Units in the GarageBand Preferences and then open the Smart Controls.
To add the AuPitch filter audio unit, click the Audio Unit button and enlarge the Smart Controls pane by dragging the dividing line to the Track Area upwards.
click the Audio Units Brick and add the AuPitch filter:
Type the pitch change in cents (100 cents per half note step) into the text field below the pitch control.
To create a loop from the audio file:
Select the region in the track and use the command "File: Add region to Loop library".
Set the current key and tempo, name the loop, and save the loop.
Now add it from the loop browser to a new track and delete your old track. The search field in the Loop browser will help you to find the loop quickly.
You will be able to transpose the sample like a regular loo by changing the project key.

How do I change the pitch of all tracks in a session?

I have 6-7 midi tracks in the key of "C". Now, I want to sing on this (in an audio file) with my pitch G, which means I have to change the pitch of all the tracks to G. How do I do this? Thanks!

Transpose either +7 or -5.

Any way to change speed of a clip without changing the pitch?

When I do the command-J and lower the speed, the pitch lowers which I do not want.

I don't think that's possible.
Think about it: when you slow down sound you are also slowing down the frequency of sound, making it sound lower and slower. The only way to slow it down and not change the pitch would be to take little sections of it and keep them apart from each other over a long period of time. However, this would not sound like your original audio file.
I don't know what you are looking for. Can you imagine a way in your head to slow down the audio, but not make it change pitch?
The only thing I can think of would be to slow it down normally, then try to correct the pitch using one of FCE's audio filters.

Changing the speed of the movie without changing the pitch

Hi,
Is there a way to create a movie and change the speed of the movie without changing the pitch of the audio??
Thanks in advance.

I think, this is a two-(many?)-step process, because 'speeding up' is allways pitching audio...
so... my workflow would be:
* extract audio from clip
* speed up video
* export audio (Quicktime/Expert/aiff
* use any audio app which allows pitching (Amazing Slowdowner, Audacity...), change speed/pich
* import back into iM....
probably a little tricky to find the right, sync settings... but you asked for a very .. 'advanced' effect ...

How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?

How do you create a save as default folder for MP3 files used Captivate text to audio voices files?

Hi Ed
Thank you for contacting me, however I already know how to save text to
audio files via timeline using the Export feature.
So my question was not entirely clear and I apologize for that. To explain
further, whenever I save a text to audio file, captivate takes me to a
default save as folder where I then have browse back to my production
folder where I am keeping all my Txt to Aud files. This is very tedious
process when you have alot of files to save. So my question was is there a
way to configure captivate so I can make my production folder the default
file for whenever I save a Txt to Audio file through Export feature that
the system automatically takes me to that production folder, and I am
spared the long tedious process of saving the file manually to the
prodcution folder I want.
I have copy the pathway to the production folder in the URL filed in the
Save As dialoge box and that workaround as cut the work down but I still
have to paste that URL field to point the file to the right folder. So it
would be nice if I could do everything automatically. Microsoft makes this
capability in their MS Office applications, so I was thinking Adobe might
do the same thing. Your help with this would be appreicated,
Thanks

After I import a movie file from the camera memory card, Imovie 10.0.1 acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it worksnow? Thank you, Filippo

On IMac 10.9 After I import a movie file from the camera memory card to Imovie 10.0.1 it acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it works now? Anyone know? Thanks, Filippo

I would like to know this too. I imported a lot of files, then Imovie crashed. I went back in and they are not in imovie at all.
I reconnected the camcorder to import again and though they are still on the camcorder, I no longer see them in the available list of files to import. I'm sure there is some sort of simple setting somewhere that reveals all files even if it thinks they are imported.
Thanks

How can I change the pitch of a track?

In Garageband 10.03, how can I change the pitch of a track?
It seems that I somehow mistakenly changed the pitch of a guitar track I had recorded, so that al the notes in the track sound like they're about an octave too high.
I don't know how I did that, and how to make the pitch slider appear so that I can try to lower the pitch.
I saw three Youtube videos that show how to change a track's pitch by using the pitch slider, but none of them explain how to make the pitch slider appear.
The pitch slider is supposed to appear in the lower, left corner of my window, but it doesn't appear in my window. Instead the lower, left corner of my window says things like, Region, Notes, Time Quantize, Strength and Transpose.

There's much to learn in Garageband!
If you want a comprehensive introduction to the new GarageBand, have a look at Edgar Rothermich's book:
Edgar's "GarageBand 10.0 How it Works" explains it very well with many screenshots. You can buy it as iBook from the Book store, as PDF, or as printed book from Amazon, Only, this version of the manual has been written for GarageBand 10.0.1, Some features have changed slightly since then.

How do I get Garageband '08 to stop changing the pitches on tracks?

I just recently updated Garageband to '08. Since then, I have started having problems with songs that I started recording prior to the update. Garageband is changing the pitches/notes for both Live instruments and MIDI instruments. I have tried changing the Key of the song on the master track. This doesn't always work. What if my song changes keys?
I have tried deselecting "Follow Tempo and Pitch", but it just selects it again on its own. In addition, that is only an option on the Live instrument tracks. What about the MIDI tracks? In short, how do I get it to stop doing this? I am considering moving back to the previous version of Garageband.

I really wish the Apple team would fix this. It's one of those nagging things that was overlooked, I would imagine, and no one but musicians that perform would notice.
Anyway, my workaround is this. I just put a really long silent space at the end of the song giving me time to stop it before it loops.
Hey ipad/garageband team - How about a new release of gargageband?

How can i change the pitch of a song and burn it?

Okay, my sister has a dance competition coming up and she says that the song is just a little to fast for her to keep up with. I have already tried using the windows media player to try to change the pitch of her song and burn it to a cd but there seems to be no way how. I was wondering if there was any way that itunes or any other program out there, free please , could allow me to change the speed of any song and burn that changed song on to a cd.
This would make me so happy!
Windows XP

If you do a search for 'Change Tempo Song' on Google, lots of programs come up. Even if it's not free, you may be able to use one in demo mode to do what you want for your sister. It's quite kind of you to help her out.
Wish I had a better answer, but I've never used this kind of software...
