Logic Won't Let Me 'Drop' .Wav Files Into A Session??

Hi all,
Trying to simply drag and drop .wav files from a folder on an external hard drive into an empty Logic Pro 9 session.  The audio tracks are stereo (have also tried mono) and the input/outputs seem to be fine.  The session is also saved to the external.  I am not using an external audio interface.
I have also tried importing using the 'File-->import' commands and this allows me to import one file at a time, but not in bulk.  This seems odd as I could've sworn I didn't have this problem in past attempts.
Let me know your thoughts please!
Ps. Logic rules, but I'm very tempted to get acquainted with Pro Tools!

Are you sure they are audio tracks, and not MIDI or Instrument tracks?
Ha ha... Yes I am sure.  A good thought, though I did double checked this before posting the problem.
Could it be something to do with the sample rate?  Ie. the audio files were recorded at a certain sample rate and now I need to make it match with the sample rate in Logic?

  • My itunes playlists won't let me drop any songs into them.

    my itunes 9 playlists won't let me drop any songs into them. If I try to drag a song from my library and drop it, the playlist won't highlight. So strange. This just started happening. Any thoughts?

    When I go into Payment Method it says "Paypal is not supported on this device.  To manage or change your payment method, go to the iTune Store on your computer.  Then in "Red" it says "There's a billing problem with a previous purchase.  Please enter another payment method."  I have went into the iTune store and have changed my payment method and also called Paypal and my account has no problem. It still keeps getting this same message when I try to purchase an app.

  • IDVD won't let me drop quicktime to burn

    I have used iDVD several times to make DVDs for clients, etc.
    It won't let me drop any quicktime videos in the content portion. When I choose to add media content, it puts an exclamation point next to time and says unlinked file.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I have 40 Gigs and dragged from an external onto my Desktop. I have moved them around from a few drives. I tried to link from original source and still no luck.
    I tried deleting the apple.plist file once too.
    I read something about needing to revert back to iDVD 7.02 or something.
    I can't figure out how to change the latest version to an older version, it talked about changing the contents and all that, but without a step by step, I was lost.
    See this below: I can't even find 7.0.2 online to download and then have no idea how to change all this information. Any suggestions?
    Apply the iDVD 7.0.3 update as usual (manual download).
    Download the iDVD 7.0.2 update.
    Mount the iDVD 7.0.2 update (iDVD_702.dmg), but don't open its installer package. Instead, open Terminal and copy the package archive to a temporary location: sudo cp "/Volumes/iDVD 7.0.2/iDVD_702.pkg/Contents/Archive.pax.gz" /tmp/iDVD702.pax.gz.
    Unzip the archive copy (sudo gunzip /tmp/iDVD702.pax.gz) to produce the iDVD702.pax archive in /tmp.
    Create a temporary folder and unarchive the pax file there:
    $ sudo mkdir /tmp/iDVD702-update
    $ cd /tmp/iDVD702-update
    $ sudo pax -r -p e -f /tmp/iDVD702.pax
    Now the iDVD 7.0.2 update pieces are in /tmp/iDVD702-update.
    Copy the iDVD 7.0.2 executable to its proper place:
    sudo ditto /tmp/iDVD702-update/Applications/iDVD.app/Contents/MacOS/iDVD /Applications/iDVD.app/Contents/MacOS/iDVD

  • Since 10.0.1 dropping wave files in the arranger leads to a empty region.

    Logic X 10.0.0. had no problems with the directly dropping .wav files from the finder in the arrangement area.
    since upgrade to 10.0.1 this leads to a event with just a bit noise in it.
    When I import it via the menu function, the same process leads to a functional event with the wave file.
    Am I the only one?

    Hmmm... I can't reproduce the issue you have... Works normal here with LPX 10.0.1

  • Iphoto won't let me drop photos to photostream?

    In iPhoto I'm trying to drag a photo from one of my folders and drop it into photostream.  It won't let me.  Does anyone know why?  Do I need to drag it from my library folder?  (I'm not at my computer, this is why I'm asking, as I can't try it at this moment.)

    yes, photostream is enabled and I have seen it function properly.  What I'm trying to do is essentially the reverse.  I'm at work (without my imac) trying to talk my husband into dropping the photo I need into photostream from my macs iphoto, so I can access it with my ipad2 at work.  He is telling me it won't let it drop into the photostream folder....it just "falls off."  He was trying to drag it from one of my folders in iPhoto and not from the "photos" folder.  Wopuld this make a difference?  It would be simple to ask him to simply drag from my photos folder, but I cant imagine he would ever be able to find it (orignal photo,) to be able to try it.

  • Why can't I create a document in my Facebook group on my iPad? It won't let me input any text into the text box field after I create a new document. Thanks.

    Why can't I create a document in my Facebook group on my iPad. It won't let me input any text into the text box field after I create a new document. Thanks.

    Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
    I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
    The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
    I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

  • HT5804 .Wav files into instruments (piano board)?

    So I have a ton of .wav files with all different drum sounds. Im sick of adding them to the track and not being able to set them as notes. Is there a way to put some of my .wav files into an instrument in my library where I can use the piano and set notes and be able to make them bigger and such? Thanks

    Use the EXS24 Software instrument...

    The above related to LP9 but the EXS24 hasnt changed much between LP9 and LPX....
    Make sure you turn on all the advanced options in Logic Pro X's Preferences first (Under the Advanced tab) so you can use all the editing features of the EXS24...

  • I cannot import 5.1 WAV files into iTunes

    Hello
    I'm running iTunes 11.1.5 (5) 64 bit on OSX 10.9.2. I'm trying to import some wav files into iTunes, they are about 6-11 minutes long each, they have 5.1 (6 total) channels, 16 bit depth and are sampled at 48,000 kHz. I can run them in QuickTime Player 10.3 (727.3) without any problems, but iTunes will not run them. This stil happens if I try to import the same files when they are in Apple Lossless format as well. I have several other surround sound files sourced from other stuff and they wil not import either, but they still run in Quicktime Player just fine. I don't have any pluging installed for iTunes or QuickTime Player. Does iTunes just not support surround sound audio, or is there something wrong with the files that I'm trying to import?

    Hi Michael,
    I bounced a PCM 5.1 WAV Audio File from Logic Pro X, This File alredy plays 5.1 surround from desktop just with the space bar preview and also with QuickTime ok? But Itunes 11 doesn´t import PCM 5.1 (multi) Wav audio files as you know, so I Knew that in the Itunes 11 for the movies tracks the 5.1 surround audio is automatic.See this link below
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4072 -
    What I did?
    I just imported my audio file to Apple COMPRRESSOR, and choose the H.264 output format and I changed from .MOV to .MP4 (This one Itunes import with multi audio 5.1)
    and also select 48 Khz and 720 Kbps. After encoding my audio file from ( 226 Mb) PCM 5.1 Wav about 4.20'  went to a AAC 6 channes 48 Khz / 720 Kbps  .MP4 file with 24 Mb size. Itunes import withou problem and played 5.1 surround as I wish.
    I hope you understood my explanation,
    Regards
    Paulo

  • Dropping csv file into a cell?

    After updating "Numbers", I can no longer call drop csv files into a cell and have the row complete. What am I missing here?

    Hello fellow sufferers of CSV headaches from commas within fields and ; instead of , etc.. They've been around as long as I can remember. 
    If you don't want to use Excel (which is good at this sort of thing), this script should help. (Dropbox download, AppleScript file). The effect is similar to Excel's Text to Columns but the usage is slightly different.
    If you end up with text all in one column as Cuky describes, you simply select the body cells in that column containing the text, run the script, click on a cell (the first cell in the body of the next column to the right often works best) and paste.
    The results here look like this:
    I deliberately made the unexpanded column untidy and threw some difficult things at it, and it did a pretty good job in testing here. Return or shift-return within a field, even if quoted, will cause Numbers to move to a new line, but that's a Numbers thing that can't be helped. Otherwise, it handles the usual csv conventions better than expected.
    If your separator is ; instead of , there is a place you can change that it the script.
    If you frequently import data, this is easily placed in the menu, either as an Automator Service or under Scripts.
    And it could be modified to read a csv file rather than grabbing values already in a Numbers column, making it almost as convenient as the old drag and drop. It could ask for the csv file and put the results on the clipboard for pasting into a table.
    If there is interest in that let me know. And suggestions/feedback on this one welcome.

  • Mixing external wave file into video

    I've recorded a video including sound of a mandolin being played.  At the same time I recorded the sound with my external recorder which resulted in a wave file of better quality that the sound from the camera.  I would like to import the video and the externally recorded wave file into a project, line up the external wave file with the sound recorded by the video camera and then delete the sound recorded with the video camera so I end up with a video that has the sound from the external recording system.  Any recommendations on a good approach to accomplishing this task?

    There's information here about how to use the new merged clips features in Premiere Pro CS5.5 to merge the audio from an external source with the video from the camera.

    How can you turn off the braille setting on an iPhone 4s, once on it won't let you slide the phone into use mode to change the settings or do anything?

    An alternate method is Accessibility Settings when connected to iTunes. You should be able to turn it off there. I would also check out some of the answers listed to the right of this post and see if they can help.

  • Drop the files into different directories based on the filename

    Hi,
    I had a reqiuirement based on the file name, i should drop the files in to different directories.
    I can get the filename through variable substitution in receiver file communication channel, now i want to drop the file into different folders based on conditions.
    suppose, if the file name is DDDX234
    i should do substring of filename0+(4), if the value is L then i should drop in X directory
    suppose, if the file name is DDDY234
    i should do substring of filename0+(4), if the value is L then i should drop in Y directory.
    How can i drop the file into differnent directories based on filename.
    Thanks
    Srinivas

    Thanks Michal,
    I mapped the directory and filename to the target header in the mapping
    Filename --> UDF --> Header(target)
    and in the receiver channel checked the ASMA and given * in the filename and directory name.
    But in runtime iam getting the error as
    Attempt to process file failed with com.sap.aii.adapter.file.configuration.DynamicConfigurationException: The Adapter Message Property 'FileName' was configured as mandatory element, but there is no 'DynamicConfiguration' element in the XI Message header
    MY UDF is
    public String Directory(String a,Container container){
    DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
    DynamicConfigurationKey key  = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "FileName");
    DynamicConfigurationKey key1 = DynamicConfigurationKey.create( "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File", "Directory");
    String FileName = conf.get(key);
    FileName = a;
    conf.put(key, FileName);
    %%%based on filename the directory should change
    String Directory = conf.get(key1);
    Directory = "/SAPInterface/XI/PPD/DHX/out";
    conf.put(key1, Directory);
    return "";
    Help me in correcting this error.

  • "Input contract violation" error message when trying to import a .wav file into AE?

    I am trying to import a .wav file into AE and keep getting an "input contract violation" message from the program followed by it shutting down. If it means anything, I bought the song online, but it has been paid for and I downloaded the .wav file after my purchase. Any idea of why this may be happening? Are there any particular settings which may be mandatory on the project timeline to import a 3min song? Thank you!

    YOu have not provided any system info, not told us what version of AE you use, your audio setting, what specifics in the audio file and a million other things. See how it may not be possible for anyone to tell you anything beyond "Your computter sucks!" ???
