Location of audio files and sessions

Hi,
This seems like such a basic question, but I can't figure out how to do this. I've been a Pro Tools user for the past several years, but I'm recently getting into Logic as well. I have 2 internal drives, one for my system files, and one for audio files/sessions. However, when I first installed Logic, it defaulted all the files to be saved onto my main hard drive (in Music\Logic). I want all of these files to be saved to my second drive, which contains all of my audio files. How do I change the location that these go into automatically? For now, I just dragged that folder over to my second hard drive and open the sessions off of that...but every time I create a new session, it tries to save it into that folder on the main drive. I have to manually browse to my second hard drive. I want it to automatically come up on my new path. How do I do this? Thanks for the help.

OK, so I'm a bit confused. I think I may have messed some things up. I dragged my Logic folder to my second hard drive as that's where I want everything stored. One of the sessions is in process still, and I worked on it some today. I opened it from the folder on the second drive however, to assure that everything would be saved to that path when I saved it. However, for that session, when I go to project settings, recording, core audio recording folder....it has the ORIGINAL location (the primary hard drive). Are all the audio files still being stored to the original drive? All I want to do is change the default setting to be on my secondary drive and all sessions/audio data go to a Logic folder on that drive.

I have problem with Itunes losing where podcasts and some purchased music is located. Don't know how Itunes losing the locations of the files and I can't find the files on my hard drive. What can I do to stop Itunes losing location and restore my files?

How do i drag media to the menu screens in premiere elements 13? I can't see my audio files and the menu screens at the same time. In prior versions it was easy

It is very cumbersome to "re browse" for audio files/pics/movie clips to add to menu screens. Certainly there is a way to view the media and menu screen at the same time so I can drag and drop?

I think I know exactly what you are seeking and believe it cannot be done in Premiere Elements 11, 12, and 13 as it can be done in versions earlier than 11 where the Disc Layout and Project Media are viewed side by side.
Premiere Elements 13 uses a Movie Menu customization workspace which is not allowing viewing of Project Assets in the Expert workspace at the same time.

I need to copy audio files and projects from logic to an external hard as my MBPis nearly full and my external hard drive has packed up with all my files on it, any suggestions on how do I copy 200GB from my MBP to a new external HD

I Use logic and back my audio file and projects on an external HD ,this has now packed up . I have all the files in the MBP , but need to copy them to a new external HD, I have only 10GB left on my machine , how do I copy 200GB from my machine to a new External HD.
any helpful full advice would be appreciated.

Yes, just drag and drop them into the drive..
How long will it take? Hard to say without knowing the type and speed of the drives in question.. and even then it's hard to estimate... but does time really matter?
The fact you only have 10 Gigs left will/may slow the process down but it wont/shouldn't stop it...
If needed.. just drag and drop some of the files at a time.. not all of them.
Remember that copying files doesn't delete them from the original drive... You will still need to delete them yourself after they are copied over and empty the trash....
However....
When you saved these projects in Logic (Pro X?) did you save them using the include audio files option?
If not, then when you move the audio files used in these projects... Logic will not know where they are to reload them........ and that will cause you issues.
So.. if you didn't...
I would use this method instead...

Trying to import .mov audio file and burn as MP3

Can someone point me to a thread, or be kind enough to post answer, about how I might successfully import a .mov audio file and wind up burning it as an MP3. I've been dinking around with this for too long. I can import it and end up with it in the format: MPEG-1, Layer 3. But when I burn it to CD and play it on a Sony boom box, I hear nothing. I tried playing it in another iMac and hear nothing.
Thanks.

I was hoping someone in this forum could point me in the right direction to a web site that is designed specifically for Garage Band users that need sound effects.
Check out:

These both are GarageBand-oriented.

Audio files and voice recordings have no sound in iMovie after a while, help?

I was editing and I was putting audio files and recording my voice fine then all of a sudden, audio files and voice recordings I were adding had no sound. The ones already put on had sound but when I tried to drag more audio files or record my voice, nothing. No sound. I tried restarting my Mac, didn't work. I changed the MP3 name to AIFF, didn't work. I'm using iMovie '11.

Hi PK - welcome to the forum!
Increasingly, people with digital still cameras want to import their short movie clips created with that camera. BUT the catch is that these movies are NOT in .dv format. They are MPEGs, and if they are MPEG1 or MPEG2 then they must be converted to DV before they will import into iMovie with the audio able to play.
This conversion usually can be done with a free app. called MPEG StreamClip, but may also need another piece of software called the Apple MPEG2 Playback Component (which costs about $20)..
A search in this forum for those, will give you several threads on the issue!
Look here, for example, for more about the method required:

NOTE that iMovie was designed for DV use (a high-quality editing format), not the much lower quality MPEG footage.

In the past when I have imported my dslr video/audio files and then my zoom audio files Final Cut Pro has organized them in pairs in my library. For some reason my video/audio and my audio are being organized seperately. How do I fix this? Thanks!

Thank you Russ! Seems as though the timestamp on my audio files was completely incorrect so it placed the files far away from the corresponding video. I've modified the timestamp information and this has helped. The hour/minute information is incorrect but at least now I'm in the ballpark. Thank you!

iPads don't have a filesystem like a computer, Files of that nature must be associated with an App and reside inside that particular App's file space. So the way to find them is to open the App that opens that file type and look in its file or document list for them.

24/96 audio files and Apple TV

Can Apple TV support 24/96 audio files that are in iTunes? Or, does Apple TV only support 24/96?

No, for some reason stereo audio is downconverted to CD quality 16/44.1 for playback, even over optical/HDMI.
It's been discussed a few times.
Here's one example with link to further discussion:

How to make a movie from an audio file and 1 static image?

Hi,
I want to make a movie that it is basically an 8 minutes audio file and I want to have a background picture that is static and stays there during the whole 8 minutes of my audio.
How can I do that?
I'm able to add the audio and the picture, however I can't stretch the picture to 8 minutes.
My iMovie version is 5.0.2
Thanks,
Martin

Hi mcanovas - Simply duplicate the picture as many times as needed. In the Photos pane you can extend the pic to 30 seconds, so duplicate that 16 times and there you go!
I hope the audience will stay focused

Open an audio file and get sampled data

Hello,
there is a way to open an audio file and get an array with sampled data in Java?
I need to perform an fft of my audio file.
Best Regard
Manuel

Dear Mr Thompson,
this is my first post on this topic.
I have already tried various way to get samples from audio file, in particular I focused my attention on this:
http://jvalentino2.tripod.com/dft/index.html
I have implemented the code illustrated in the tutorial but the result is unsatisfactory. If I try to plot the samples of obtained from a pure tone the result is not the expected waveform but something very different, a Fourier analysis of this data is completely useless. Hence I am looking for a way to read data in a similar manner to the matlab's function auread (http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk_r13/help/techdoc/ref/auread.html).
Fft is not really hard to implement but I'm using a scientific library (http://www.ee.ucl.ac.uk/~mflanaga/java/) for obtain values in frequency space.
I apologize for the inaccuracies.
Regards
