Individual music tracks save in separate files

I recently downloaded a music CD into my iTunes library and each track saved as a separate album. The reason seemed to be the tags for the artist on each track was slightly different - even though iTunes should be able to accomodate this. Removal of the tags so that every track had the same artist and same album name saved all but one track in the same album. This last song will not save with the rest even though the only difference is track name - everything else is identical - WHY NOT!

Burning individual music AIFFs using a CUE file

Hi,
I want to burn a CD using individual AIFF music files (one AIFF for each track on the album) and an accompanying CUE file, which includes all the information about gaps between tracks etc.
I cannot find anything that can do this for me: I've tried Toast but that only seems to work with BIN/CUE pairs, and iTunes doesn't recognise the CUE file.
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks,
Sean

Aren't CUE files more of a PC-thing?
The "Mac way" to make an exact copy of a CD would be to use a disk image. If you've acquired a bunch of AIFFs and a CUE to go with them, I'd suggest you follow PT's advice and set the gaps manually in Toast. Evidently, the files you have obtained have not been ripped with Mac-burning in mind.
If you're copying a CD you own, make a disk image of it.

How do I export detached audio files as separate files, for Pro Tools processing?

My project is a live band performance. I have every song as a separate Event with associated audio. I have detachd all the audio from all the video Events. I now want to Export the audio files to Pro Tools for editing, then Import the edited audio back into FCP X and snap the edited audio to the associated video Events.
My problem is this: FCP X keeps exporting the audio as a single large WAV file, rather than as separate WAV files. In fact, the video events are separate, and so the audio associated with the video Events are separate.
I first renamed the Role of every audio file as "Music", then did a Share --> Export Media of all "Music" audio Roles. After exporting, I found it was one large WAV file, rather than separate files of different sizes.
As a 2nd try, I created Sub-Roles for each audio clip, and named each one with a distinct Sub-Role name. I then Exported all these Sub-Roles (yes, tedious). The result was that every exported WAV file was the same size, the same as the file size in my first try. The only audio that could be heard in each file was the audio in that particular song, but FCP X still created the very large file with silence in all the rest of the file. Since the file lengths don't match the original audio fil lengths, there will be a problem when I Import the edited files back into FCP X and want to Snap them into place.
Question:
How can I export the individual detached audio clips as separate files, the length of each file equaling the length of the original audio file in FCP X?
Do I need to separate the detached audio into separate Layers visually in the Project Timeline, so they are not touching? Or does this matter?
Help!!

No.
You need to explore Compound Clips. This workflow may or may not be of help.
Select an Event with clips in it and press Option+G to make a (blank) compound clip.
Select the Event Browser, create a new Event and call it 'Effects'.
Drag the Compound Clip into this Event.
Right-click the clip and select 'Open in Timeline'.
Select the timeline and press Option+W. This will add a Gap Clip to the timeline.
Select the gap clip and press Ctrl+D then type in the duration you want the clip to be.
Now open a project and select and copy one of the clips with effects etc.
Open the Compound Clip in the Timeline again, select the gap clip and press Option+Cmd+V to paste the effects into your Compound Clip.
This clip is now saved in your Browser and will remain there for you to copy and then paste the effects into any clip in any project.
It's a bit clunky, but it works - and once you learn about Compound Clips, you can work wonders with them. As an example, if you want to add more effects without overwriting the effects in the Compound Clip, simply make the Compound Clip into a Compound Clip (again) and add the effects. They will be added to the original effects.

Save each page of a multi-page document as a separate file using spawned file names with javascript

Hello
We are currently changing our hard-copy personnel files and converting them to pdf files. We have scanned the entire file into one multi-page document.
I am wanting to save each page (or groups of pages) as separate files.
In order to facilitate this, I have duplicated field names--such as FirstName, LastName, EmpNo on each page. This information should be static for the entire file.
However--I also need information that will change for each individual "page" or document--such as TypeOfDoc, Date, etc. I have used the Spawn fields using the overlay method on each of the pages in the document. Then I went in and filled in the information for each page of the document--such as TypeOfDoc, DateOfDoc.
Now I want to save each page of the document as a separate file using the field names as the file name.
I first created an action that would split all the pages into separate files and save them into a folder.
Then I want to save each file as a specific file name based on the information in the fields.
My problem is obtaining the name of the spawned field name. The rest of the field names I am not having a problem with.
This is what I have so far to name the file.
// Get the field value
var oPage = this.pageNum;
var fn = getField("P" + oPage + ".TEMPLATE.DateOfDoc").valueAsString + getField("FirstName").valueAsString + "-" + getField("LastName").valueAsString;
// Specify the folder
var fldr = "/n/Personnel/ScannedDocuments/NAMEDPAAS/";
// Determine the full path
var fp = fldr + fn +".pdf";
// Save the file
myTrustedSpecialTaskFunc(this, fp);
This code is also accompanied with folder level scripts.
My problem is obtaining the name of the spawned fields using javascript. Each document has several pages--so I would like to obtain the field name through script.
I receive the following error.
TypeError: getField("P" + oPage + ".TEMPLATE.DATE") is null
I think this is due to the fact that I have extracted all the pages as individual files.
If I were to do the above, but not extract the pages first--I do not know how to just save one page at a time.
Please help. This is a massive project, and if we have to save each file individually, it will take a lot of time.
I am a beginner, so any assistance is appreciated.
Thank you

I am not understanding exactly where to put the curly brackets. I have tried two different ways, and still get the same error.
This is one way
var oPage = this.pageNum;
// Specify the folder
var fldr = "/n/Personnel/ScannedDocuments/NAMEDPAAS/";
// Determine the full path
var fp = fldr + fn +".pdf";
for (var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++)
var fn = getField("P" + oPage + ".template.DateOfDoc").valueAsString + getField("FirstName").valueAsString + "-" + getField("LastName").valueAsString;
{this.extractPages({
nStart: i,
cPath : fldr + fn + ".pdf"
The other is this
var oPage = this.pageNum;
// Specify the folder
var fldr = "/n/Personnel/ScannedDocuments/NAMEDPAAS/";
// Determine the full path
var fp = fldr + fn +".pdf";
for (var i = 0; i < this.numPages; i++)
var fn = getField("P" + oPage + ".template.DateOfDoc").valueAsString + getField("FirstName").valueAsString + "-" + getField("LastName").valueAsString;
this.extractPages({
nStart: i,
cPath : fldr + fn + ".pdf"
Thank you for your help.

Bouncing individual tracks creates 2 wav files for each..why?!!

When I bounce individually selected tracks from Logic Express, it creates a double wav file in my folder for each track I bounce. It didn't use to do that and I haven't changed any settings... Please HELP :/

By "double wav" do you mean that you are getting a separate audio file for left channel and another for right channel, something like this?
Be sure to check in your bounce window that you have "interleaved" checked instead of "split."
Depending on how you're exporting/bouncing your tracks this may not help, but you can always solo the desired track and bounce your song with "interleaved" selected to get a single stereo file of that individual track.

How do you save a stereo file of your 8- track mix, to obtain more tracks. ( jayco62)

How do you save a stereo file of your GarageBand mix, to increase the # of tracks you can record?

In the Bounce Window, choose "Split" instead of "interleaved" from the File Type menu to bounce your mix as separate mono files
Regarding the gain correction, use Automation
Hope that helps

Trying to save a PDF. file as individual pages?

I need to save only three sheets from a PDF. file so I can send it in a email. I have no idea how to do that.
You can print just one page but you can't save only that one page.
PLEASE HELP!! THANKS

Assuming you have Acrobat Pro or Standard, go to Document - Extract Pages, select the range and tick "Extract pages as separate files"

How can I save multiple emails as separate files with 1 export?

I need to save hundreds of emails as separate files. If I select all of the emails, then export as PDF, it doesn't save with their Subject titles, just numbers. If I try prints, save as pdf, it consolidates them all into 1 file. If I try to save as txt files, it only saves the first message. If I try dragging and dropping the emails into a folder, it won't let me (only one at a time). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I believe there is a third party app that saves email(s) as pdf's:

How do i make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to put the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. Any help?

How do I make a still image (photo) fit the length of the music? I record music and want to convert the tracks to a video file with a still image of my business logo in the background. On windows movie maker you could just select "fit to music" but this program isnt as easy to figure out! Any help?

Double-click on the still image in the project timeline to open the Inspector. In the Inspector, adjust the duration by typing in a new duration to match the length of your music. I think the limit for a still image is 10 minutes. If you need more than this, simply drag the image into the timeline again then adjust its duration. The two images will play seamlessly (no gap will be visible).
See this iMovie Help topic:
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3a883915
You can achieve more precision when entering durations by changing a preference in the menu item iMovie Preferences. Check (tick) the preference for Show Time As HH:MM:SS:frames. This will enable you to enter the duration of stills down to the frame level, rather than full seconds (NTSC is 30 frames per second; PAL is 25 fps). When entering times, type a colon between each time segment, such as 2:50:15, which represents 2 minutes 50 seconds and 15 frames. For 5 seconds 20 frames you would enter 5:20 and so forth.
Note that the music will only run to the length of the video in the timeline (in your case, the still images). So, after increasing the stills duration you will need to drag the end of the music track as far as required. The stills can be dragged inwards to reduce the duration if necessary.

How do I move music folders with individual music files from windows 7 to itunes folder so that they are recognizable and playble?

How do I move music folders with individual music files from windows 7 to the itunes library so the files are usable in itunes?

All of the following programs should work with Vista.
Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
SharePod is also freeware.

How to save "sites" in separate files?

I am working with three different sites (work, personal, etc.) and would like to save them as separate files, not as part of a single domain package. Is this possible without having to create separate user identities?
Also, having saved two sites in iWeb, they are put in the domain.sites packages. Looking into the package I can’t distinguish which files belong to which sites. Any ideas,
Cheers,
Reb

You could try this: create a site. Move the domain.site file to a folder named for the site. Start iWeb and create another site. Repeat. When you want to work on a specific site move its domain.site file into the iWeb application support file.
Yep, a total pain in the neck. However it is either that or use a different user account for each site. My own experimentation has determined that as the total domain.site folder grows the save time grows tremendously.
It's likely that before long someone will write a little utility to do this automatically.

"Export audio of selected range markers to separate files" icon is grayed out in Markers window. Tracks show start times but no end times, yet duration is calculated.

I have one big wav file of segued tracks as a mixdown and inserted CD markers where I want marked tracks. "Export audio of selected range markers to separate files" icon is grayed out in Markers window. Tracks show start times but no end times, yet duration is calculated. Why can't I export these marked portions as separate files?

the markers durations need to be configured, there is an easy way to do this using your existing markers. click the start time of marker 2, this should change to edit mode to type in a new number, just copy the numbers cmd/ctrl+c. then click the end time of marker 1 and paste, cmd/ctrl+v. now repeat for the rest of the markers, and on the last one enter a value for the end time or click and drag on the duration to manually extend it. once all the markers have a duration, the button should be active to export.

Trying to separate music track from audio track

Hi all - I've been reading posts, but haven't been able to determine whether there is a way for me to separate a music track from an audio track.
I have a copy of a television show that aired, where the music and audio tracks have (obviously) been mastered to the point where it's one music channel.
I'm trying to extend the music a little further without including the people talking. Does anyone know any creative methods that would allow me to do this?
Thanks so much for your help.

No...not at a professional quality level. You would need to either collect enough of the music bed where no dialog or f/x are present or obtain the oringal source music - which could be anything from readily accessible library or commercial to no longer existant custom music.
Sorry...I know that isn't much help.
From a Non-Pro level...there are really only two tricks:
1) If there is enough contrast between music and everything else...about all you could do would be to EQ out the ranges where dialog exist. 300hz - 4Khz maybe. But that is also where the definition is going to be in the music.
2) If the music is in stereo and the dialog is not. You can try to elimate the dialog by inverting the phase of one channel and monoing the two togther. This will leave you with only L-R material. Again, not good enough for professional broadcast...but you can try it.

How do I isolate and save different sections of a song as separate files

I am trying to isolate and save different portions of a song as separate files. What is the easiest way to do this. I was thinking of copying and pasting into a new GB window, but cant find anything to open a new window. If a piece i want to save is highlighted in the editor, and I go save as, wouldn't that re-save the entire song again? I have tried highlighting and then dragging the portion to a directory in finder, but that doesn't work. Any other ideas suggestions?

If a piece i want to save is highlighted in the editor, and I go save as, wouldn't that re-save the entire song again?
Correct. This is the best way to achieve what you want:
Open your song, do a "Save as ..." with the name of the first section, delete all the parts that don't belong to it, and save again. Repeat this procedure (always starting with the complete song) for every section.
