Moving audio tracks and edits together

If I have to move the location of a piece of audio forward and backward is there also a way to move the volume edits I've made on that track with it.
Every time I move a piece of audio I end up having to move the edits separately and realign everything. It's a real pain in the butt.
Any tips on this.
Thanks,
Ray

It is a pain, and there is no solution, volume curves belong to the track, not the region B-(>
The only tip, incase you didn't know, is that you can select multi points on the curve and drag them together. Shift click or Drag Select.
The workflow to avoid this in GB is that you have to do all your editing and arranging of regions before you add volume and/or pan curves
Sorry I don't have better news for you

    It's not a command but a menu item: "Lock curves to tracks".

    I think you mean "importing", not downloading.
    Downloading is when you copy a file from an Internet server to your computer.
    Channel one will not separate from channel two.
    Any suggestions?
    Select the two tracks and choose Modify > Stereo Pair
    Or you can just use the keyboard shortcut option-L

  • Gettin audio track and instrument in time.

    i have logic pro 7.2 but when i import an audio track and then try to create an audio instrument in the matrix edit i cannot seem to get the audio instrument in time with the audio track and they both hav the same bpm. so cannot anyone help me plz im sure its a simple thing 2 do

    Presuming the tempos are a spot on match, then It's all about locking the first downbeat of the audio to the track, in this example ( a drum loop ) the orange anchor point is locked to the first kick drum of the audio in the sample editor, so no matter where I drop the audio, it'll always be in time.
    If the start point is not as clearly defined, the just move the anchor around till it sounds right.

  • Is there a way to get an iPod touch to play one audio track and stop.

    Is there a way to get an iPad to play one audio track and stop.
    I work in education and particularly music. Teachers are looking to create a playlist of selected track but only want the selected track to play then stop.
    This allows them to talk to the class during presentation and not worry about having to stop playback mid discussion.
    I've been successful doing this from appleTVs homeshared to a library by unchecking songs in the playlist. But It would be useful to instructors who have there own media on their device.

    Thanks for a cognative answer TXMark.
    For what its worth to any readers that work in education and would like this play once and stop 'feature'
    I had great success in homeshareing a iTunes library of teaching material and creating topic specific playlist and used apple remote app to control an appletv connected to that homeshared library. As TXMark suggests, uncheck the songs in iTunes and the media will not automatically play the tracks in sequence.
    note: if you have video media that you would like to have in the playlist, be sure its listed as a music video in the options of get info of track. otherwise the apple tv will not see the media in the playlist and will put it in the movies section of the library.

    The only way to stop after a song is to create a playlist consisting of only that song.

  • How to import 2 separate audio tracks and keep them separate?

    I need advice about importing two separate simultaneous audio tracks and keeping them separate. I am importing footage from my Sony PDX-10 DV Cam.
    In the field I had wireless microphones on two people, a man and woman. I interviewed them separately. The man was on channel 1 and the woman was on channel 2.
    While shooting the man, for example, I could also hear the open mic of the woman who was maybe a block away talking to some friends. But her distracting sound was on CH 2 and in playback on the camera, if I dial down the volume of CH 2, I no longer hear the woman and I have a clean audio track, Ch 1, of the man who is being filmed.
    I'm trying to import the interviews into iMovies with only the relevant track turned up and the distracting track turned down. When I listen to the audio from the camera on my headsets, I can get clean sound of just the person who is on camera. But the FIREWIRE seems to grab both tracks, even though in playback i'm listening only to the clean track.
    Does anyone know how I can send just one audio track to IMovie? Any way to prevent the Firewire from importing both Ch 1 and Ch 2 at the same time?
    I only want the sound that's relevant to the person who is on camera. And I know that in the camera, it's possible to listen to just the track from one channel. I'm hearing just one track through the headsets, because I can sucessfully dial down the other track. That's the way I want to import the footage to iMovie. But the FIrewire seems to grab all the sound it can find and carry over both CH 1 and CH 2, which means I'm left with a jumble of sound that is not useful.
    And finally, if the firewire needs to grab both tracks, is there a way to assign them to two separate tracks in iMovie, so I can then simply turn one of the tracks off?

    welcome finecut to the  boards of discssions ...
    nope.
    iM handles the two stereo-channels as "one track", and offers 3 tracks of stereo.. (the one inside the video, 2 additional tracks...)
    I would... :
    * export clip(s) share/Quicktime/Expert Settings/aiff..
    * in a designated audio processor (Garageband, Audacity, ...) seperate the two channels, creating two "new" ones, stereo, where one channel is located in the stereo middle..
    * import these two "stereo" files into iM, into Track2 and Track 3 ...
    .. boom!done

  • No Great Solution for Record Multi-Voice Tracks and Edit for Mac? :(

    Let me see if I've finally got this right.
    I've got FinalCut Studio Pro which comes with SoundTrack Pro.
    I've got Logic Express.
    SoundTrack Pro cannot record from different channels from my Mixer, but it can edit pretty well and apply effects, such as Normalization, Silences and whatnot.
    Logic can record from different channels from my mixer but has no editing capabilities, except Garage-band-like and even there, GB seems to offer more. That is there's no normalization or other things.
    Okay, I accept that. But what I don't get is that in order to do something as simple as Record a podcast that has a Host on mic and 1 or 2 Skype callers coming into a Mixer (Mackie Onyx) and that mixer is routed to the Mac. In order to record each person on a different track, I have to:
    Load Logic and record the tracks individually.
    Export the Tracks as individual audio files.
    Import them into SoundTrack Pro and edit them there.
    Export them from SoundTrack to disk.
    re-Import them into Logic (or Garage Band) and export them ("mixdown") as MP3 (SoundTrack won't export as MP3).
    Wow, that's very unexpected.
    If I'm missing something, please let me know. This seems like a lot of "make fit" just to emulate what can be done in Adobe Audition on the PC. (Sadly, Audition doesn't run on Mac.)

    I suppose my question is more along the lines of what solution (I've purchased them all) allows you to Record and Edit multiple spoken tracks of audio?
    I've purchased:
    SoundTrack Pro
    SoundBooth
    Logic Express
    Audacity
    and of course I've upgraded to iLife 09.
    If one of these tools could allow you to select a section of audio from 1, 2, 3, or all tracks and delete it with a "Ripple Delete" option, then I'd be a happy guy.
    Right now:
    GarageBand doesn't allow you to delete and shift-left "ripple delete".
    As for Logic, I don't see ripple delete either.
    SoundTrack does do this but it only allow me to edit one Track at a time--open them all, but edit one, then the other, then the other. Lots of flipping around.
    With Audition (which is limited to Windows) I can select a section of 1, 2, 3, or all tracks, and delete that section, ripple or not.
    FYI: "Ripple" is a Final Cut Pro term.
    To be honest, no that I think about it... FinalCut Pro may be the best solution. Load everythign into it as separate tracks and have at it--at least it does it.
    Remember, I'm not a musician, nor do I record music, only audio for podcasting. (but don't equate "podcasting" to Video-podcasting as most people do).
    Anyway, my solution will be to load Virtual Box on the Mac. Record using Logic (which did a great job of recording onto multiple tracks) and then bring those AIF files into Adobe Audition under Windows in VirtualBox--or perhaps on a Networked PC.
    Of course the other solution (and perhaps less painful) would be to simply abandon the Mac entirely and move all this stuff onto the PC and only use the Mac for FinalCut Pro work. What a huge disappointment that would be.

  • System Overload with 6 audio tracks and 2 instrument tracks!!

    Hello, this is my first post. I'm learning how to use Logic Pro 7.2.1. I had 6 audio tracks open and 2 instrument tracks. I press play and I get an error message saying there is a system overload. I'd also received this message with garageband and hardly any tracks, but before today I got the message once, clicked OK and then was able to continue.
    Also in the transport window right underneath the tempo, my version had the number 201. I realized that I can increase this number of memory to 2158. But in the Apple Pro Training book by Peachpit press, I see screenshots of their transport window and they have 899,852.
    After calling Apple it appears that this is a case which requires me to pay $199 to get help from them, but to me it is either a bone head mistake by me or a problem with my computer I imagine. I would really appreciate some help. Thank you.

    I have got plenty of system overloads on my powerbook and I only had about the same amount of tracks you had. The way I overcame the problem is by first making sure that no other programs are running ( Just to be safe). Then you should freeze the tracks that you are not editing at the time so the audio engine does not have to process all of it in real time. You can freeze all the tracks if you wanted to but you can only edit the ones that are not frozen. The freeze button looks like a snowflake on each track. Just click it and hit play and it will take a second to process it and then you will not have to worry about that track taking up so much audio processing power. You can go to the view menu and make sure the Track Freeze Button is enabled so you can used it. Try it out it should help you out.

  • Having problems moving ALL tracks and Arrangements tracks over slightly

    Hi there
    I need to be able to move every track I've created AND the Arrangement tracks together say about 10 seconds to the right as I want to put a click track intro that I didnt think to create in the first place. But everything I've tried seems a little messy.
    I've tried selecting the first arranngement track, holding down SHIFT and then selecting the last arrangement track and moving them over but that seems to move the tracks to randomly anything between 20 seconds and 3 minutes.
    I MUST have the arrangements move with the tracks exactly and I dont want to have to adjust them later.
    Any ideas how its done?
    thanks

    This does not work. Moving/multiple whole arrangements really doesnt work well at all.
    Someone else might have a better suggestion... or not. This could just be one of those limitations of GB. Moving forward, if you're going to want to be able to easily tweak things like this and many more, you might want to look into Logic.
    Not that I'd buy Logic for that SOLE reason, but does anyone know if its actually possible/easier in logic?
    Unfortunatley suggesting someone buys logic seems to be the general suggestion to a lot of users on this Garageband forum when they cant get GB to do something they want, but its hardly ever 100% confirmed that Logic can perform the suggested tasks. (By the way I do know that this isnt a Logic forum).
    If that's the SOLE reason you'd buy Logic, then it's not worth it. Knowing that you want this intro space at the beginning of your songs, you could just start your next GB song from bar 5 or 9 or wherever. Problem solved (right?).
    However, the reason people give the "buy Logic then" answer is because all these walls people hit in GB don't exist in Logic. You can do what you describe in Logic and a whole lot more. The price (outside of the literal price) is that you give up the simplicity of GB.
    Beyond this one issue, if you'd be generally interested in a lot more options when you record, and don't mind spending some time learning how to use them, then maybe Logic would be something you'd be interested in.

    In logic Pro, when I open up an audio track or software track and load an audio file/loop or software file loop, there is no sound. I will finally get a sound out of one of the audio or software tracks after opening at least 5 of them alternately. Is anyone familiar with this kind of bug? It's really frustrating as this takes much time to complete work.

    I'm not sure I follow your words Fuzzynormal. You've helped by offering the insight that my issue in Logic Pro 9 is not a bug but a feature. But fell short of enlightenment by being a judge of character and of how one should interact in this forum. You insinuate that I haven't tried to solve the issue on my own when in fact I have. These forums are always my last resort. You further suggest that I am complaining. This is not a complaint. It is a genuine issue that I cannot figure out. Then you think that Brazeca is holding my hand and being a nice guy. Brazeca is helping people like me who might not be as adept at using Logic Pro as probably you are.This community forum was established to raise questions, answers and dicussion to help Apple's customers better undertand their operating systems and related issues.

  • Audio Tracks and Video Out of Sync!!

    I am having a problem with not only the video and audio being out of sync, but the audio tracks, left and right, are out of sync with each other. I know it isn't the camera or tape because I watch the footage while it's capturing and it is fine, plus it happens all the time, with different tapes and different cameras. What would cause this and how do I fix it? Also, how do I set my preferences to automatically start the camera when I click capture? I have it set on my iMac but I can't find it on my G5.

  • Making a CD with audio tracks and a "bonus" video- how to?

    Dear folk,
    I have seen this before (notably a Shaggy album from waaaay back but no longer have access to it to study its "breakdown")- a regular audio CD which functions normally in your CD player etc and then, when placed into a DVD player or onto your computer lets you view the video which is on the same disk.
    I am looking at getting my daughter's EP of original material done but would like to add a video which I am making as well, in this manner.
    Not sure that iTunes IS the right category but I don't use Pro Logic (though I own it and could get someone else to do it, if required)- help please?

    OK, thanks to Roger I had good info to take away and now know that mixed mode CDs would possibly evidence issues as in this process the data file (ie the video) would most likely be the first file on the finished CD which would give you that horrible squealing noise as you play it on a conventional CD player but that "enhanced" CDs will burn them (data video and audio tracks) as separate sessions, ensuring that each appliance only need deal with that which it CAN deal with.
    Toast will do this but, apparently, so will something called Dragonburn: http://dragon-burn.en.softonic.com/mac
    I haven't tested this yet (the audio I need to work with has still to be completed and I have to shoot the video) but hope to report back.
    Hope this helps anyone seeking to do something similar.
