Live updating when editing audio

Fellas:
First of all, I think AA3 is nice. I've moved up from the ancient Cool Edit Pro a few weeks ago.
One thing that I don't like or can't find is in Cool Edit Pro, you could make an edit while the audio plays, remove a breath or stumble as the audio plays.
On AA3, you have to stop the audio to perform the edit. That slows me down! I can still select the part I want to edit out, I just have to stop the audio to edit it out.
Can anyone tell me where the toggle to turn that on is or IF IT EXISTS? It's NOT a deal breaker but, just something I might have to get used to, again...
Thanks!

Hi Skip,
I believe the behavior changed when our driver model switched to ASIO. It did require stopping the player in order to change the underlying data.
I agree with you and everyone else who feels it brings around a slowdown when editing. I'm not certain if it's something we can address, bound within the limitations of the hardware drivers, but I'm going to write up a feature request right now asking it to be, at the very least investigated, and best case scenario, resolved under the hood.

"Insert silence" won't work when editing audio

Greetings. Forgive me if this topic has been addressed
before. If anybody has experienced this issue and has a suggestion,
I'd be very grateful.
I'm relatively new to Captivate 2.0, as are my colleagues.
When editing audio in a .cp file, I often cannot insert silence at
the beginning or end of a clip. The flat silence appears on the
waveform, I click OK, I exit the editor as usual -- and the clip
plays back at its original length, with no silence. If I attempt to
insert silence in the middle of a clip -- no problem!
I hope I'm simply missing something obvious. Thanks in
advance for any help!

Well Jeannine8, you are close, but the reason your "fix"
works is because your recorded "silence" is probably white-noise,
not total silence. Allow me to explain please ...
Captivate does want to truncate (clip off) real (complete and
total) silence from the beginning or end of any waveform. So the
trick to adding silence to the beginning or end is to make sure the
silence actually contains *some* blip in the waveform (however
tiny). How to do that? Glad you asked!
1) In the Captivate WAV editor, insert your silence.
2) Now grab
any tiny, tiny piece of the audible waveform and copy it.
3) Then paste it to the very beginning of the waveform.
4) Last, use the "Volume" editor to reduce the volume below
human hearing level.
Note, if the "clip" you copied was extremely loud, you may
have to reduce the volume, close the volume control, then reopen it
and reduce it a 2nd time. This is because Captivate only allows you
to reduce volume to a minimum of 10% of the original.
All that said, I want to emphasize that "Jeannine8"'s fix
will normally work, and shows a lot of moxie ... so thanks,
"Jeannine8". And if opening the microphone and hitting the "Record"
button for a second or two in a semi-quiet room seems easier to
you, go for it. But if you know the reason
why it works, I think you will be happier in the long term.
Have a great day folks!

If not live updating when DO smart playlists update?

I have so, so many smart playlists that I think my iTunes is starting to drag. So I'm starting to uncheck "Live Updating". So when do these playlists update? When I view them? Is there some trigger I don't know about? Is there a way to do a playlist update sweep?

Oh poops, I hate when people do this. I found the answer, finally, like immediately after posting. I think.
Via http://www.smartplaylists.com/ I found this thread (searching here didn't get me to it): http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1742897
I don't love the answer, but there it is.
(Open the Edit Smart Playlist window, hit OK)

Premiere Pro CC crashes when editing audio- any solutions?

Adobe Premiere Pro CC crashes nearly every time I try to edit audio, keyframe it in certain spots, etc, etc, with the error message that there has been an "unexpected problem" and the program must "force quit." Sometimes my work is saved, sometimes it isn't. And then I have to re-name my saved file, so I often end up with upwards of 15 different project files because I cannot edit audio without this program crashing. I see I'm not the only one--what is Adobe doing to fix this bug-riddled program? It's impossible to get anything done!
I'm using this program on a MAC, 6-Core Intel Xeon Processor. MAC OS X Lion 10.7.5.
I'm ready to lose my mind.

I am having a very similar experience.....I have been working in Adobe Premiere Pro for well over 8 years and have always had issues with crashes when working with audio files, keyframing, transition placement, trimming and so on. I have had nightmares with some projects that I am having crashes every change I do and it seems once you get an issue with a project it only gets worst. I have worked on a number of different systems in regards to hardware and get the same issues, OS has been Windows 7 64bit for number of years. I would have expected Adobe to have been able to smooth this out by now but it just keeps rearing its ugly head when I`m on a deadline crunch.
I try to never work with Mp3s and always request wav but it doesn't seem to matter in the long run.
Just wanted to let you know you are not the only one and I am having a serous issue with this problem once again!
Please help Adobe....audio is an issue with Premiere Pro for a lot of us....thanks!

CS4 freezes when editing audio.

Hello All,
I have a client that has a workstation that freezes when she edits audio in CS4. I have seen it happen and what it does is it keeps playing the audio but Adobe CS4 freezes until the audio is done playing or when she kills CS4. I have reinstalled Adobe CS4, talked to Adobe technical support, reloaded her workstation with Vista 64 bit, put in another hard drive for the page file, and ran through every troubleshooting document I could find on the forums and Adobes website. Her workstation is a Core2Quad 2.4GHz and 4GB of ram with Vista 64 bit.
This is an on-going issue that needs to be solved ASAP and any help would be appreciated from other users. I do not want to resort to calling Adobe technical support as I was not satisfied with their knowledge of their product.
Thank you,
Brian
Edit: Harm Millaard chime in if you have any suggestions. You seem to be very helpful on these forums. Also, you have a very impressive computer setup and props to you for putting it together.

While I feel that the Assets, or the Project, are probably the culprits here, you might want to look over this ARTICLE on "tuning up" one's NLE computer. Might be something useful in it - if not now, then for later.
Good luck,
Hunt

Icons for images on desktop do not update when edited in Preview

I didn't know what topic to put this in but I guess I consider this a Finder issue.
Here's the problem: In both Leopard and Tiger, when I edit something in Preview and save it the little icon preview image on my desktop (you know, above the file name) does not change, even after I restart. I know the world isn't going to end because of it but it has gotten to the point where I'll edit things in Photoshop instead of Preview just to get the stupid icon to be accurate, otherwise I don't know if I've worked on a picture already or not. It would save me from a lot of time wasted booting up Photoshop just to crop an image.
I also noticed that the Spotlight comments (when I use "get info" on the file) still describe the picture in its larger format before cropping. It just doesn't seem to update itself. The image I am looking at as an example is a PNG right now but I'm sure it has happened with jpegs as well. (generally I'll just go into Photoshop in the end and save from there to update the icon out of frustration)
Can this be fixed? It would certainly make me enjoy using Preview a little more.
I thought this would go away with a Leopard upgrade but it doesn't seem to.

Is there a way to remove or replace the preview image manually, then?
select the files with custom icons and enter commandoptioni.
in the resulting info window select the little icon in the top left corner and press delete.

Content of linked files in a inDesign-document refuses to update when edited.

The problem:
I have a question about linked files in an inDesign-document.
We have a indesign-file (indd) wich contains text, linked map-illustrations and ads.
One of the linked maps gets changed by an external map-producer via an VPN-tunnel. He works directly on one of the existing linked files (a map), and does not change the name or location of it after editing.
After the change, we open the indd-file again, but no dialog-window appears telling us that a link needs to be updated. So we do it manually, but the changed content doesn't get updated in inDesign.
If we target the linked file and choose to open it in illustrator for editing, all of the changes that was ment to be there, still is. It just doesn't show up in indesign. This also shows that the linking isn't the problem.
The file is only placed at one spot in the document.
Workaround:
1. If WE (not the external map-producer) open the linked file and save it again (same name, same location), inDesign instantly promts us to update the link and the graphics updates without problem.
2. If we place the file in a another location of the same inDesign-file, the correct content shows. (But still, the existing one does not update.)
Question:
Is there any way you can think of that could make this happen?
If so, How can we solve it without having to use the workarounds?

This will work if you all use the file syncing of the Creative Cloud desktop application and then you use the Collaborate option for the folder containing all the files. Then it will work on each of your desktops.
Links to files will not work in the browser when viewing the InDesign document from https://creative.adobe.com/files.

"texts on html file" are not updated "when edited on server"

Hi All,
QUESTION
What are the solutions, for having editable text/content on .html published files, so clients can edit through their server control panel
Scenario:
Client wants to update the "text" by editing the .html files on a server.
I published the website as static html so the text can be included in .html file, but edits made on server's control panel, doesnt appear in live website.
I also noticed that the texts located in edgeActions.js are editable through server, i am not very interested to define all my text content as the dynamic
code because then I must worry about empty .html files and SEO questions.

Here is what I ve found in regard to my own question...
For a Client, to be able to change the text on server (Ex: phone numbers in a contact page), they should access and modify the text in the edge.js or sometimes edgeaction.js page. Changing the text on .html page will create no result. I assume, this is because, the .html page is exported ONCE and only at the point of Publishing a project, to satisfy the SEO needs or whatever. Think of the text on .html page as a Sticker to fool the rest of the world, changing it will not change anything on webste and. Also if you change the text in .js, the change will not be relfected on .html file.

Disable facebook update when editing photos

hi,
Is there a way to disable automatic updates of photos which are part of a facebook album?
The thing is, when I edit photographs to be used for other purposes, I find it automatically updates the image contained in the FB album as well (well, the facebook album within iPhoto seems to only contain links to the actual images in iPhoto) . Whilst I can see that that would make sense occasionally, and it sometimes is quite nice to get friends' comments on year old photographs, by and large I find it rather annoying. Duplicating images would be an option, but then I'd quite like to keep duplicates to a minimum.
Is there a way to control the trigger-happy interaction between Fb and iPhoto a bit more?
t

In preferences you can set web syncing to manual
But when you sync all edited photos will be synced

Premier Pro 2014 opens Audition CS6 when editing audio clip from Premier

I own Adobe CS6 Master Collection installed (for legacy projects) and I also have the CC subscription. When I am running Premier Pro CC 2014 and then try to edit an audio clip in Audition the CS6 version of Audition loads rather than the CC 2014 version. Any help or thoughts on why this is happening would be appreciated.
KR

I detected this with photoshop--I think its an OS issue--The OS doesn't appear to recognize the two versions are different. In my case, I had PSP CC loaded, but then loaded the 32 bit version of PSP CS6 (so I could scan directly into the program using "IMPORT") Windows changed the default to the 32 bit version. When I tried to change default using windows, windows would not show the CC version as an option--just the 32 bit version. Without editing the registry, I couldn't find a way to force windows to ignore the 32 bit version and open the CC version. My workaround was to always open the CC version from the icon and then click on the file I wanted open. It appears that if any version of the program is already running, the recognized default won't open. This might work for you on Audition.

Logic freezing when editing audio region lengths

If I'm editing a track by chopping it into 4 bar pieces and then time stretching each section to get the tempo constant I get a very strange bug. It will do the audio stretching fine, but as soon as I click the menu bar to save, the program freezes and sits on 50% CPU load indefinitely, not allowing me to do anything, meaning I then have to kill the process and lose my work. Anyone know what's going on or experience any similar issues?

Hello Caramby,
These audio files don't have buzzing or clicks in them, if they did the producer on session would have probably changed engineer lol. I'm cutting several files at once grouped in Logic: the DI feed, and the mics around the amp - so in total around 7 mono audio files. The buzzing sounds like a clocking issue rather than artefacts in the track as when I quit LP7 and reopen the audio and play it all the way through its fine - and I would also see any artefacts in the audio as I'm cutting pretty much to the sample, and then moving it to get it in time.
As you read in my original post, I can start editing and it be fine for 30 bars or worse and its 2 bars. When it happens and I press the Control+Shift keys (to fine tune the cut) and get the scrubbing sound of the audio, I get this clocking buzz...
The session was done in at a commercial studio ProTools 8 but our studio works mainly in Logic 7.2.x (with TDM hardware) as we find it a little easier to use (until we can get our hands on a stable version of PT8) So the audio needs to stay in LP7...
Hope this helps!

Buzzing when editing audio

Hi,
I'm editing for a band (at 96k if it makes a difference?) And after so many edits (cutting each note at a time) the audio I'm working on starts buzzing on playback and when I make the cuts (so its buzzing when I'm previewing audio before cutting with the scissors if that makes sense?) The only cure I know is to quit LP7 trash the preference file and re open. But doing this 8-15 times an hour is really starting to get very annoying. Sometimes I can get 30 edits/cuts and then it starts to buzz, other times its within 2 or 3. It's as if I've caught Logic on a bad day sometimes and it just doesn't want to not buzz!
An interesting thing to note is that I can tell if its about to happen as the metronome click (Which I'm referencing to when I'm listening back to it) starts sounding like its doubling/phasing. Someone told me it might be the sample rate resetting back to 44.1, but both my 8pre and sample rate in the audio window are still set to 96k. Even the Sample Rate in the AudioMidiSetup is at 96k! So its not that
Is this some sort of issue as I also have LP8 installed?
Please note this is affecting me on both my MacPro 3Ghz (Early 2008) with MOTU 8pre and 17" MacBook Pro (Late 2008) just using the built in C.A.D.
Meanwhile I need to go and trash the preferences again! (Second time in the hour)
Cheers,
Ben

Selecting an area when editing audio

Dragging with the mouse to select a portion of an audio file to cut does not work for me.
I can only drag for a short distance beyond the visible screen before dragging ceases. I can 'wiggle' it a little to jog it a little further but it always jumps back to the start point once I release.
Choosing a point then another when holding command (control) does not work as it does in most applications.
I am using an external Mac trackpad (Magicpad) but this does not produce problems in any other application.
Thanks for any workaround or fix.
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
I'm not on Mac but on Win, but perhaps you can find the equivalent for the shortcuts i'm using: SHIFT-RIGHT to extend the selection to the right, and for bigger extensions SHIFT-CTRL-RIGHT

MSI Live Update Installation Causes Windows XP To CRASH!!

I have a MSI K9VGM-V (MS-7253). Product specs are here: http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K9VGM-V
I have attempted to obtain my updates for my drivers and utilities. MSI uses the Live Update to detect and suggest these for your system. However, I cannot get the software to install to my PC. I have tried to do in through the website AND by downloading it and running it off the hard drive. Each time it gets into the install process and during it - (Boom) - My PC Reboots. When Windows XP (Home Edition) boots up, it says "Windows has just recovered from a serious error." It goes through the reporting to Microsoft process and takes you to their website where it says "You have received a blue screen error. Unfortunatly we were unable to detect what caused this." Then goes on to suggest to restore your files or restore to an earlier state if your system has become unstable (blah blah). Now I really didn't ACTAULLY see a blue screen, the PC just rebooted. I am aware of the blue screen of death and all that. I understand the concept. But I don't know what could be wrong. My system is very basic with little upgrading from me. I have installed all the Windows Critical Updates, so I am now running Windows Service Pack 3. Does anyone have any suggestions on what might be the problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated, I tell you that.
NOTE: And the following might not have anything to do with my problem but I noticed on MSI's web site, located at this URL: http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=utility&maincat_no=1&prod_no=260
they say give a warning about MSI Live Update when installing it to my PC/Board. Look under the MSI Live Update Utility at the "Notes." It says:
"For K9VGM-V (MS-7253) mainboard, please do not select the DMI optopn.
Now I don't know what DMI means except maybe "Definition Multimedia Interface." And I don't get the chance to select any option during the process. If I do, the process hasn't made it that far before my PC crashes, and re-boots. Please, anybody got anything on this? Thank you.

Thank you so much. I just want to say I really appreciate when people do take the time to post me in return. So I really mean it, Thank You.
A quick question. You see, I have been upgrading my computer. I installed a Belkin USB USB Card (high speed 2.0) cause I needed more USB ports. Then I checked for compatable RAM and upgraded my RAM from 512MB to 2Gigs. Everything alright.
Now, I have checked for processors that are compatable with my board K9VGM-V (MS-7253). And MSI's chart says mine is compatable with the AMD Athlon 2x 6000 (3.0Ghz) *IF* I use the 89 watt and not the 125 watt. Here is a good URL for the processor details I found:
http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K8/AMD-Athlon%2064%20X2%206000+%20-%20ADA6000IAA6CZ%20(ADA6000CZBOX).html
Now do you have any tips and I will probably have to flash to BIOS for sure after this upgrade won't I?

Live Update reboots my system.

Installed Live Update3 on my perfectly working computer. Then serious problems occurred. I use Win XP and the mainboard is a 645 Combo.
The system boots but when I log on as an Administrator it reboots over and over again.
If log on as a guest I get messages saying "Can't find handle" and something about boot upgrade. But then it works all right and I can use the computer.
I think it has something to do with Live Update log on autosearch, but I don't know how to diable it, as I can't log on as an Administreator.
Help me!

Thanks Emperor for answering.
I can log in as Administrator but it is then the rebooting takes place. Windows XPstarts normally. The desktop, startmeny and taskbar appears but before I can use it the system reboots. This happens every time I try to log on.
If I instead log on as Guest Windows starts normally but messagewindows appear, referring to that Live Update has failed. As I use Swedish and I don't know how to translate it properly into English it is difficult for me to explain better. The good think is that I can use the computer but in a restricted way. I am not able to uninstall Live Update. That is what I want to do.
Do you think there is a way to halt Live Update when login on as Administrator?
Kjell.
