Moving a Tach Needle with a Car Engine Audio File

After reading some books and view some tutorials about Audio-Linking I found myself thinking if its possible to have a "Car Tach Gauge or Speedometer" and link it to audio file of a car shifting through gears or on a Dyno or something and have the tach move correct on the gauge to the sound that is playing...
This is an example of what I am talking about, however this was done in Flash by Hand to match the audio file. http://rpm3dmotorsports.com/2008FINAL/externalmedia/rpm3dtach.swf
I would assume its possible and easier to do in Motion... Plus if the audio-linking works the way I think does, there should be little to no by-hand audio-visual keyframing involved...
Or am I dreaming?

Try it - very easy to do - there's even a gauge in the Library - should take about 5 minutes to set up, using the Audio parameter behavior.

Problem with Quicklook - Issue Previewing Audio Files

Hi,
I have an intermittent problem with Quicklook and in particular audio files (MP3 and AAC). Quicklook works most of the time and plays the audio file, but if I query one file after another quicklook (usually) stops working and just displays the file icon with no playback options.
I love the feature, but it's annoying it fails to work. The files that fail can be quick looked later, so I don't think it's a problem with the files I'm trying to query.
Any ideas why this is happening? I've tried to repair permissions but to no avail.
Any idea if this 'bug' is fixed in 10.5.3?

The Console is giving me these sort of messages:
Jun 6 12:54:58 PowerbookG4 Finder [89]: [QL ERROR] quicklookd crashed while thumbnailing file://localhost/Users/Me/Downloads/podcast.mp3
Jun 6 12:54:58 PowerbookG4 Finder [89]: [QL ERROR] Too many problems with generator at (null). Disabling it
I also get errors saying "[QL ERROR] 'Creating thumbnail' timed out".
So QL is going belly up on certain files. I encoded some M4a files and QL also crashed according to the log. Why is this? If the files are encoded at wider settings than the usual iTunes files, does QL just refuse? If the file is downloaded, could it be fragmented and this is causing it? According to my log, QL is just crashing again and again trying to create thumbnails for whole folders of audio files.

Exporting to QT on Keynote with embedded narration or audio files doesn't work

When I create a Keynote presentation, I often publish them for viewing after the presenttion. I have been making presentations for a long time and never had luck with Keynote using narration. When you edit a narration, it first "appears" to erase everything from the point you choose to edit forward.   However, when you finalize the presentation and export to QT as a movie (yes the edits sound fine when you are using keynote itself) EVERY PREVIOUSLY RECORDED TAKE on each slide will playback at the same time making the audio incomprehensible. I'm using a 2013 2.3 GHz quad core i7 with 16 GB DDR3 and the newest Keynote 6.01 2013.   Narration has NEVER worked properly on any previous version, and still doesn't.
I had some advice to try recording QT audio and adding to the slide. Now, when recording to Quicktime, it does embed it, but in recording the presentation, it either doubles up the audio giving a strange echo or does the same thing if you ever edit the presentation.
Keynote is simply a buggy inferior product for use in recording presentations as far as I am concerned, and I am very very disappointed in Apple for not figuring these issues out.   It's not a new product, and it's not as if most educators are not participating in on-line posting or sharing their work as movies for later viewing by students.
I'd appreciate hearing what others do to work around these issues before heading back to Powerpoint or having to make complex i Movies with slides as images and adding qt narration to the movies.   Keynote claims to do this... it just but I've never encountered an apple product with more bugs.

I had some advice to try recording QT audio and adding to the slide. Now, when recording to Quicktime, it does embed it, but in recording the presentation, it either doubles up the audio giving a strange echo or does the same thing if you ever edit the presentation.
The problem Keynote has is that the sound and image content are not locked together which causes out of sync errors. This is why many users choose video editing applications when using sound in the presentations, as they have both image and audio tracks to sync sound properly together.
Start a new presentation to remove the previous sound recording, Keynote is holding onto the other sound files.
Add the graphic items to each slide and one sound file to each slide for the voice over
1 - In Inspector > Transitions; use start transitions automatically and set each transitions delay to the duration of the individual sound file.
2 - In QT export, set Fixed Timing and delete the value in the duration box, QT will then use the custom timings for each individual slide.
This procedure does work exactly as needed, Iv used this for nearly 6 years using 4 different versions of Keynote.

I have two .xml files with one audio .mp3 file each; one that has been submitted to itunes and accepted. When I try to submit the other .xml file to itunes, with a different .mp3 audio file and changed metadata, Itunes says it has already been submitted.

iTunes is using your feed at http://vpbc.downloadsvr.com/Podcasts/Audio%20podcasts/VPBC%2004152012%20audio%20 podcast%20945%20service.xml
When you want to add a new episodes to your podcast you don't make a new feed: you add the episode to the existing feed, then subscribers will see it immediately and the iTunes Store will pick it up in 1-2 days. You don't need to resubmit the feed - indeed you can't.

IPod Mini not working with new car stereo

I just got a 2007 Sienna in which the audio system includes an AUX port for connecting to my iPod. However, when I connect the two (using a RadioShack Gold Series audio dubbing cable recommended by RadioShack), nothing happens. My iPod is not locked, and it works with headphones and also through the FM transmitter (although the latter not very well at all).
Is there an iPod setting that I am missing? Do I have the wrong cable? Is there a problem with my car's audio system?
Any advice/suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Doh. Never mind. I just figured out it was a volume problem.

Trouble with audio files and Garage Band 10

Hi. I am having a very uneven experience using GB10. I sometimes successfully record tunes with more than one audio file (i.e. choosing the microphone option when creating a new track). But two things keep happening.
1. I sometimes cannot hear my instrument even though I have clicked on the input monitoring button. I play the instrument and I see no indication on screen (via green squares moving from left to right) that any signal is being received.
2. I sometimes experience a delay with a live instrument--I play the instrument and the note sounds a split second later. I am familiar with using the Smart Controls...this is not a deliberate echo effect.
These have ground my recording to a halt. Any input into why these things are happening would be most welcome! David

sure....say I record a clip in track one with a bunch of plugins....export the clip to the audio region...then import back to the arrange...
First of all it won't let me play the clip in Track 2, but if I shift the clip to track 3 it'll play....BUT I can't control the volume or pan .....very strange. I hate freezing stuff...although I have been for ages....but if this works it'll be cool....
Thanks...

Page document with audio file not sent by email

Hello and blessed Christmas to everybody.
Here is my problem.
I created a pages documents with images and an audio file from iTunes inside.
Sharing it by Mail, (and converting it in PDF so that anybody without pages be able to open it) I see that the audio file is not present or not playing inside my mail.
Is this because of the conversion in PDF?
But I'm afraid of PC user not being able to see it if I let it in Pages.
Thanks for your tips.
Cathy

Of course! I must have been inattentive. AsI don't have Adobe acrobat pro I sent everything in word and pages.
Thanks

Hello! I have a huge question about how can I get connected my iphone 4 with my car Is there any opption on find my car application? I have a Volvo xc60 and I want to be connected all the time with my iphone. Can I do that?

Hello. I can say that you have a quite strange „huge question”… It’s non-sense to stay connected with your car which is hundreds miles away. Unless…
I have a theory. You don’t want to controll your car, you want to controll somebody who is driving the car. Volvo XC 60 is a nice family car, usually used by married men between age of 35-45, probably with small children, so it’s very unlikely that you want to controll your teanage kid, mainly because probably even if you would give him/her to drive the car in the neighborhoud, I don’t think that he/she would be „several hundred miles away”… If your child is not young teneage anymore, and he/she has his/her own life, but you want to control him/her, that is sick… So I am convinced that you want to controll your husband who probably travelling often! Am I wright?
Isnt’t nice at all! Would you like if you would be monitorized in such way? I bet you don’t!
Anyway, iPhone is smart, you can use for many things, but come on, you really were thinking that there is such kind of application???
What could you do it's to put in the car a GPS survelling system, however I don't think that you could do it without your husband knowledge, otherwise he won't be able to start the engine...

Interference with iPhone car charger.

Can anyone help me with this issue?
I have tried two Griffin "iPhone compatible" car chargers for my iPhone so far, and when I try to use the car charger in conjunction with my cars AUX in port (RCA plug), I get a very noticeable buzzing interference as soon as I plug in the car charger. If I unplug the charger and just leave the stereo wire plugged in the sound goes away and everything is clear. Is this a common issue with the phone? I have read threads that say people have to put the phone in Airplane Mode to remove interference, but this interference is coming from the charger...not from the cell signal (I assume).
Anyone have any tips so I can play music and charge the phone at the same time? Thanks.

I was also having problems with noise when I had an adapter for my iPhone 3G plugged in to the cigarette lighter socket in the car and playing music through a cable going into the AUX connector of my car stereo. After having trouble with one, I went and bought a Griffin PowerJolt SE but still had a noise problem. After doing some tweeking, I fixed my problem.
1) It makes no difference whether the airplane mode is on or off, because the interference isn't coming from there.
2) The amount of noise varies depending upon whether your car engine is running or the ignition switch is in the accessories position. There will likely be a high pitched whine in the latter but also a clicking noise in the first mode. This is interference from the spark plugs in the car. This noise will also vary depending upon the speed of the engine. Also the noise will go away when you are not plugged into the charger.
3) Check two things in the settings in your iPhone. First, check that the volume limit on the phone is off or is set fairly high.
4) Now check the volume setting on your iPhone. This needs to be at or near the maximum.
If the last two conditions are not true, then what is happening is that the noise that is coming in through the iPhone from the car ignition and the charger is too loud compared to the audio. This then causes the car amplifier to amplify both the noise and the music for you to hear anything. When the iPhone volume is higher compared to the noise, then the car amplifier amplifies the audio less, but it also amplifies the noise less.
At least these changes made a big difference on my iPhone.

I just moved my itunes library from a win 7 computer to a win 8.1 computer. Getting an error message "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. Can't play CDs or get audio file from web!

Help! I just moved my itunes library from a Win 7 computer to a new Win 8.1 computer following the instructions on the itunes website. Everything is good except I'm getting an error message on the Win 8 computer if I try to play a CD or get an audio file off of the internet. I get an error message that says "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly. I don't know where to look for or fix the audio configuration on the win 8 computer. As far as I can tell the iTunes configuration looks the same as on the other computers in the house. At this point I don't dare plug my ipod touch into the Win 8 computer for fear it will get messed up.

I have the same problem and I know that it is due to my PCI Audio driver not being compatible with WIndows 8.1.
iTunes isn't the only program that can't direct sound to the built-in speakers anymore. The obvious solution would be to update the drivers, but unfortunately Dell does not provide an updated driver for my model, so I am stuck with that.
However, saying that, only my laptop speakers are affected by this. I can use sound fine on applications where I can choose the output device and direct sound to the head phones, but for some reason iTunes does not let you choose the audio device manually.
To listen to music I imported the iTunes Library in Windows Media Player and changed the audio output using the following instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/c00d11ba
However, I would also like to rent movie's from iTunes,
Would be great if iTunes would let you choose the output device, too, like most other applications using sound from Skype to Windows Media Player,...

How can I open a project that has been created with Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration software, on my trial version of Premier Pro CC?

Hi,
I'm working with a colleague who is using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration software on his PC version of Premier Pro CC. I am using a mac and have a trial version of Premier Pro CC. When I try to open a project file that he has sent me I get an error message-
"Missing renderer: This project was last used with Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA), which is either not available or not certified on this system. Mercury Playback Engine Software Only will be used."
When I click OK and locate the files I get a message saying "File format not supported".
Can anyone tell me what to do so that we can share project files?
Many thanks,
Jessie

Shouldn't really be the MPE at fault here ... what is the codec of the footage/sequence/project?
Second, can you create a new project in PrPro, then in the media browser, import that sequence from the other project?

Am using Firefox 5.0.1, any new tabs open with a search engine for imvu and when I go to about:config there is no entry for browser.newtab.url that I can modify

I am using Firefox 5.0.1.4205 with Windows 7 Home Premium Service pack1. My new tabs in Firefox open with a search engine for imvu rather than google as I would prefer. I can't find an answer to my problem so far because when I try the recommended use of about:config and finding browser.newtab.url; it is not listed. Is this version of firefox to old to have that, or is it just missing? What can I do to get my new tabs to open with a Google search engine. This is on my 80 year old father's computer so he is not likely to upgrade browsers as I would on my home computer. Thank you for any help with this.

The new tab page (about:newtab) wasn't introduced until a later version of Firefox (iirc, ''Firefox 10'') , which is why that pref can't be found.
Sounds like your father picked up some Malware.
Maybe this is what you're dealing with.

TS3581 iOS 6.1 update - iPhone will no longer connect/pair with my car. Is there a workaround for this issue?

After the 6.1 update my iPhone 4S will no longer connect with my car stereo (2012 Chevy Sonic). Until update, everything was working fine and I experienced no such issues. I have tried deleting my phone from my stereo memory and re-pairing, but I get a pair unsuccessful error on my iPhone; I have been able to pair a pre-6.1 iPhone successfully after discovering the problem. Has anyone found a workaround to this issue?

IIRC updating the iPhone iOS changes its characteristics when viewed by vehicle
bluetooth
That is why you need to remove pairing from both ends and start again
Vehicle just does not recognise the iPhone as the one it previously paired with
