Loading off DVD's audio file of last project Plays

I load files off DVD from my church recorder, 1 st project goes great !! Next project off next DVD won't accept new audio plays audio form last closed project Need Ideas Please!!!!!!!!!!

When new audio material is imported into Premiere it converts the audio to 32bit and saves the new audio file in the Media cache. This new file is then used when editing. What I expect is happening in your case is that the 2nd dvd has the same file names as the first, Premiere thinks the audio is the same so does not redo the conversion to 32bit. To get round this problem delete all the .pek and .cfa files in your Media Cache Files folder. You can find the location of this file by looking under Edit-Preferences-Media in Premiere. I'm on a PC but there will be something similar for a Mac. When you then import your second dvd the audio should be reconformed.

How to delete unused audio files in a project?

Hi guys,
The question is fairly simple:
How to delete unused audio files in a project?
I can't manage to find the answer in the manual,... all I could find is how to delete audio outside used regions!
But in the projects I use, I have loads of outtakes which I don't use in the project anymore, and now, I would like to delete them of the audio folder to save space on the HD.
Can Logic select automatically the takes in the audio files folder which are not used in the project and delete them??
Because there is hundreds of audio files per project, and +/- 50 projects, I just can't do it manually.
Thanks,
Fred

Whoops! Yes, I knew that but a cow flew by... Sorry!
The procedure I follow is to do what I described then Save as Project, creating a project folder. That way only the required audio is saved to the folder and I delete all temporary stuff. However, if you have folders with shared material, it's much harder and would require you to go through all your projects doing Save as Project before you could delete your old working folder.
When doing day to day work, best practice is to create a new folder and only use Save as Project when you're working on stuff. Shared material (eg sample libraries etc) can go elsewhere and you can get Logic to copy those to the project folder automatically.
Otherwise, Shift-Backspace in the Audio window, as you rightly say

How to get audio files to follow project tempo??

Im tryin to figure out how to get my mp3 audio files to follow project tempo and transition up or down to any specific tempo.. is there any way of doin it? thanks

Hi,
Yes, you need to convert them into Apple Loops. First, you have to convert them to either AIFF or WAV format (or use the original WAV). You can do that in the Audio Bin. Drag the converted file onto an audio track.
In the Arrangement window select the newly created region of the audio file. In the Arrangement window menu under 'Audio', choose >Open in Apple Loops Utility...
Next, take look at p 618 in the LP8 Manual 'Creating Apple Loops in the Apple Loops Utility'. That should/may get you there.
regards, Erik.

Lost audio file embedded in project

OK, weird... I was playing around with adding sound to my slideshow. It was about a month ago, and I forgot what I did exactly. Sigh. Anyway, now music begins to play when I start playing the presentation. I can't find the sound file. Is there some way to a) find the sound file and b) delete it. Or at least disable it? I tried "saving as" with advanced options, but the "copy sound file with project" was greyed out. Sure would appreciate knowing how to get outta this. Thanks!

It seems like you have your sound file set as a "soundtrack" for the entire presentation, rather than associated with a specific slide.
Click on the Document (far left) Icon in the Inspector, open the Audio submenu, and you probably will find your "missing" audio file in the Soundtrack window. Delete it from there and all should be well again.

Quicktime audio file to CD for playing on a CD Player can you help

I have a quicktime audio file (which seems to show as a movie?) which I have on my desktop. I want to burn it to a CD so that my uni tutor can listen to it on a CD player. Can you help. I get all the way to the burn thing in disk utilities, but it won't burn. I'm thinking it needs to be saved in another format?

Oh, thank you Martin. I've cracked it right the way to burning the file, but it doesn't play on a CD player. I definitely brought it through iTunes, but it shows on the CD as a Quicktime file. I think this may be the problem. Liz

IOS 6.0.1 Safari won't play audio files. Error: "Cannot play audio file."

I recently updated my iPad to iOS 6.0.1, now Safari won't play audio files in any format. Error: "Cannot play audio file." Previously, it worked fine. I tried downloading and using GoogleChrome and Opera Mini, and these also won't play audio. What's up??

Solved the problem. It seems that once iOS 6.0.1 installed, it caused all of my browsers to mishandle audio files. When I reset the iPad, that cleared up the problem.
Before upgrading to iOS 6, my browsers would "autoplay" the sound files. After iOS 6, "autoplay" is disabled so you have to manually click play to play them.
Nonetheless, everything is working fine again except for "autoplay," which I can live with.

Converting audio files in iTunes to play on iPad 4

I used iTunes 11.1.1 to convert a MPEG file to an AAC file. After the conversion, in iTunes the file kind shows "AAC audio file". The actual file extension shows .m4a when I look at it in Finder. It still will NOT sync with my iPad 4 ... why? What am I doing wrong?

Don't buy software peddled by spammers in support forums.
It's usually garbage.
M4a is a valid file type for AAC audio.
What happens when you try to sync it?

Linking to an audio file, getting it to play when clicked

Hi
I have uploaded a small .asx audio file onto my server.
I would like to link to it so that it plays on win media player or similar when clicked.
However I have linked to it in the same way you would any other page or file, but it asks you to open it rather than it playing.
Can I do it so that the audio just plays when clicked??
http://www.matthamiltonracing.com
The link in question is in the lower right div.
Many thanks
Mark

The way that a file is used on the client computer is determined by how you define its filetype on your server and how the individual browser is configured to handle it. You basically have little control here, especially with an ASX file. A more accessible way to play audio in a browser is through Flash/SWF. You can google for 'flowplayer' to find a free option that does not require you to own Flash.

EXS Freezes when loading third party presets/audio files

Hello,
I am using Logic 8 with OS 10.6.8, macbook pro
The EXS factory presets load fine for me. I put a preset bank in the EXS preset folder/area and the samples for it on my system drive. When I choose any preset from there, the EXS freezes trying to load the samples. It doesnt get even get to one sample.
I have tried:
Reinstalling
Removing the preferences
Juggling the memory setting the EXS
Anyone able to shed some light??

Your EXS24 instruments and samples need to be re-linked, otherwise this delay will happen every time and it will drive you nuts.
Logic used to have a feature called Project Manager which did this. What happens is this:
The .exs files (instruments) contain info about where the samples are located. When you get 3rd party stuff, the paths that are written into the .exs files might look like this:
Fred's huge drive/Samples for products/Section01/Bass samples/ etc etc
Because your drive doesn't have any of these file paths, Logic scans your whole system to locate the samples.
The only real option is provided by Redmatica (www.redmatica.com)
You need ProManager or EXSManager. Either one will re-write all the file paths and sort out this problem. You need to read the instructions for the process to be successful.

VOB converted to AVI audio files imported to premiere play in different order than the video files

Hello there,
I extracted the VOB files from a burned dvd created with Adobe Premiere pro 1.5, I converted the files into AVI files, then I imported it to Premiere CS4. The video sequence on the timeline plays in the correct order but a very fast speed, and the audio sequence plays all the individual clips in a random order, not in the order that they were originally edited in.
What did I do wrong while importing or converting?
Elio38

Hi Elio,
What program, or utility did you use to convert the .vob files to .avi, and what was your target codec? I typically use SUPER Converter, which is free and very versatile, to convert program stream .vob files to a useable format that PPCS4 is compatible with. You can also directly import and edit a .vob file from a DVD in PPCS4 by simply changing the file extension to .mpg. However, doing so will eliminate the audio channel from the video clip in PPCS4.
I was able to recreate what I believe was your issue when I tried converting a .vob file to an .avi file, regardless of what codec I used. I had no issues what so ever when converting the .vob file to a .mov file using the DV codec, for example. It could be a bug with PPCS4 because the same .avi file I created with the DV codec played back fine in WMPlayer, and VLC, but played back almost in slow motion in PPCS4. It might be advantageous for you in the meantime to re-convert the .vob files to .mov files and just choose the standard DV codec.
Remember, you are trying to edit files that are intended for delivery and that were not originally designed to be edited. Attempting to edit inter-frame formats such as MPEG-2, MPEG-4, FLV, etc...has caused many a headache and even today, are not the easiest to work with.

I have audio files (mp3 format) that play in media player, I have synced them to my iPod and they appear in the Music directory on it but it will not play them

It just returns to submenu from which I selected them. Have tried removing the files from my library and reloading them and resynching, but the problem remains.
Any ideas?

Do these same tracks play okay in iTunes? What file format are they in? If they are mp3s, try running them through MP3Validator to look for any missing or corrupt metadata/tags.

DVD Quality Much Poorer Than iMovie Project Play-Back

Hi folks - I have run up against a problem that I haven't had before. Normally, playing iMovies is inferior to the finished product. But this time the finished DVD displays much more shimmering (especially of KB zooms).
Scrolled text sourced from Rolling Credits (which normally results in excellent quality) also displays this shimmering effect, and some of the stills are slighly artifacted.
A full-quality QT movie I made for test purposes is similarly flawed.
Because the stills originated from scanned slides, (though imported via KB), I would not expect absolute perfection, but as said above, the playback quality in iMovie is very acceptable with stable zooming and no shimmer effect. Most of the scrolled text was black on a nearly white background.
[Using iMovie 5.0.2, and iDVD 5 set to Best Quality. Dragged the iMovie package into iDVD.]
Any thoughts or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Hi Catspaw
I'm glad You addreesed this question. I to asked it about half a Year ago and
then was informed that the qualty was the same but as You see it isn't.
I made a long movie of RedBull FlugTag in Gothenburg Sweden and on the
same DVD i droped a short version from same original material.
Diff. Full movie was a drop of the QT ref movie in the project.
Short version was an export as full quality QT which I dropped into same
theme in iDVD. The short version was significantly more jaggied.
Let's hope for an explanation and if there is any settings in QT full qual that
has to be set to give same quality.
Yours most interested Bengt W

When exporting to html, audio files placed in system do not turn off.

When I place a audio file into keynote and play the presentation via an html export, the audio files don't stop playing. If put the keynote.html on the web the only way i can turn off the audio is to refresh the page. I want the audio to stop playing when I advance to the next slide. Any solutions?

This is how sound works in an html export at the moment, maybe it will be improved in a future update.

Why does iPod on iPhone4 cut off the beginning of audio files?

First time user of Apple and iTunes and iPhone4. I transfer my audio files onto my iPhone, play them in iPod and it cuts off the first 10 or more seconds or so. The files play perfectly well in every other device and player. Why does this happen in iTunes/iPhone/iPod? How to fix this?
Thanks.

Corrupt audio file prevents me from opening Logic project file

Hello,
I've been running Logic 8 for a couple years off my MacBook and have never encountered any significant problems of file corruption until recently.
The issue I encountered is this:
I've been producing a lengthy track in an on-going Logic project file for some time and after completing a recording session I saved and started deleting excess track copies to clean up my arrange window. Upon doing so Logic unexpectedly crashed.
After attempting to reopen the project file, it started its normal process of loading its respective audio files, but now it hangs on one particular audio file indefinitely (I'll refer to it as 'audio file x' for ease of reference), freezing and crashing Logic as a result. All of this project file's auto backup files are also incapable of being opened without giving me the same result and crashing Logic.
I have no way of opening this project file and getting at my most recent saved sequence!
I've tried removing this corrupt 'audio file x' from the project's audio folder and dragging it to the desktop, but this had no effect and I still can't open any recent version of the project file.
Older saved copies of the current project file do still open though (most likely because they were saved prior to the corruption caused by this suspect 'audio file x.') When opening an earlier iteration of the project, I get a message '1 invalid audio region found' (I assume referring to the corrupt suspect 'audio file x' that I removed to the desktop) but the project file is still able to open.
I realize I could import the audio files from the most recent version of the crashed file to an older project version and reconstruct things back to the way they were, but it would take me a lot of time and I'm hoping there may be some way to recover the un-openable project file by getting it to stop looking for this corrupted 'audio file x' on startup.
When I click 'show package contents' of the Logic Project file, I notice two items labeled 'displayState' and 'documentData.' From my troubleshooting I've come to the basic understanding that the 'documentData' file contains all the sequence data and settings for its respective Logic Project file.
I think the 'document data' of the unopenable project file in question may be corrupt because whenever I replace it with the 'document data' from an earlier Project file version, the file is able to open. This doesn't do me much good though, because it's document data from an earlier iteration of the project and I need to be able to get at the current sequence I had right before my file crashed.
Is there anyway to open a project file without letting it load its audio files? Or is there anyway I could get inside the 'document data' file to delete the reference/pathway in its audio bin to the corrupt 'audio file x' its hanging on?
Any insights would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping there's some way I won't have to repeat a couple days worth of work. Thanks for your help!

After further troubleshooting I've realized that the suspicious audio file that prevents the project file from opening is actually not corrupted itself. I can still play the audio file in other media software like Quicktime, etc. with no problem.
This leads me to believe the problem opening the project file lies solely with the corrupted 'documentData' file.
Does anyone have any ideas about how I could somehow open this project file and delete the reference of the troublesome audio file from the project's audio bin?
Well... it really sounds like the project itself is corrupted, that's one of the reasons all project files won't load from a certain point on.
Try this.
Reboot the Mac.
Open the Applications folder and boot Logic from it's icon.
As soon as the Logic Logo/graphic window appears on the screen hold down the control key. You will see a message pop up that says something like "Launch the Core Audio Driver" there will be yes/no choice available... select NO.
Go to the File menu and selct "open" go find your project file and see if it will open. If it does.. delete the audio file in question... however.. I would also look at any plugins you recently installed and are possibly using in this project...this sounds more like a plugin problem rather than an audio file problem, but that's just a gut feeling.
Anyway, if it opens delete whatever you suspect and save under a different name.
Reboot Logic and see if it can load the project.
