Multiple Track Editing

I just started working with multiple tracks(specifically for my podcast, but this question should be able to be answered by anyone working with multiple tracks). The problem I'm having is making edits to the file without de-synching the audio. Basically, if I want to edit out a section of the audio, I apparently can only edit it out in one of my two tracks. That means I have to go in to the second track and try to edit the same amount of that track out before moving everything over to fill the gap. Is there a way to edit something out of multiple tracks at once?

Yeah, when you find the Track Editor it seems like it would be the right place to do all the dirty work, but its really a VERY limited editor, and really the UI would be pretty complicated if it had to handle more than a single track at a time.
Once you get used to it, editing in the Timeline really is pretty quick, at least I've found it so. Hopefully it will work well for you once you give it a a go.
Good luck, and have fun --Hang

HT1451 when editing info, how do i select multiple items to edit a group? For example, changing the artist name on multiple tracks at once?

Same way you select multipl items anywhere else.
Hold ctrl and click the items you want.
If they are in consecutive order, click the 1st then Shift click the last.

Multiple audio track editing problem

Hello, Im editing a film right now and we have a tons of temp music score tracks along with the standard vocal track from the camera. I am running into major problems, because when I go to trim a clip a little, it says operation not allowed because a piece of audio temp music is below it. I have to lock the the audio (say its 7&8) to make the trim, but then all the music on that track doesnt get shifted down. How the **** I am supposed to edit with multiple tracks. Is it just not possible? Please say no.

Sequence settings, Source material specs, number of audio tracks, please.

Multiple track (or region) selection for mass editing and deleting.

My project has multiple tracks, and it is too long. So I'd like to be able to select multiple tracks and then remove regions across multiple tracks in one move rather than having to delete regions track by track, and then moving them back to close the gap (which is a time consuming pain)
Is this possible?
Many thanks

I record multiple tracks (3-5) from real instruments and vocals. I want to send these files to a collaborator to add more tracks to, but Garageband wants to mix these down (which I don't want). How can I send the multiple tracks files to my friend?

I record multiple tracks of real instruments and vocals wth Garage Band. I want to share the file with a collaborator so he can add another instrument or two. I have not found a way to do this without the process mixing down the tracks. I don't want them mixed down like when I send them to Itunes. Also I can't seem to just attach a file directly to an email for sending purposes. I thought I saw a method to do this with software instruments, but how do you do it with real instruments? I've tried every process on the "export" list to try to accomplish this, without success. Thanks for any breakthrough advice on this!

As isteveus said - for large projects uploading to a server would be best.
Also I can't seem to just attach a file directly to an email for sending purposes.
But for completeness's sake , you cou can mail a project, if you ctrl-click the project and use "Compress xxx.band". This will compress the project and create a zip file, that you can mail (if it is not too large). But ask your friend for the maximal file size allowed as a mail attachment.
But whichever method you use to share your project, be sure you include all loops and instruments, if your friend does not have the same JamPacks installed. You can bundle the loops into the project by saving it as an archive. "File > Save as" and check the "Archive Project" option.
If this option should be disabled, you can force it to become active by editing your project slightly. It is only available, if the project needs saving.

How do I extract multiple tracks from a CD into a single file in Audition CS6?

I use Audition to edit my Pastor's messages. The message CD is made with five minute tracks. I want to extract the tracks from the CD into a single file for editing and altering the track lengths. I have done this before in Audition CS6, but I haven't been able to find instructions for it. I only found a note stating this is available in AuditionCC.

I have discovered an answer to my problem. The way to bring multiple tracks into Audition CS6 from a CD is to use the FILE / OPEN APPEND / TO NEW command. This brings the separate tracks into a single file in Audition CD6. Thanks to everyone who commented.

How to do one comp on multiple tracks..

I may be missing the an obvious feature, but I can't work out how to apply the same comp to multiple tracks. I.e. I record an instrument with more then one mic and am left with several tracks of the same take however from different microphone and positions. I then comp the best take, however I want my comp to be the same on each of the individual tracks. Please could someone help?
Regards,
t

I believe I may have answered this before, but anyway: the trick is to make the tracks part of the same group. In the group settings, chose only Regions selection (Edit). Now, when you edit one track, the other tracks in the same group will follow.
Hope this helped!

Exporting multiple tracks to EDL

Hi
I'm having problems exporting multiple tracks to an EDL.
The actual project file has come from somewhere else, so I have no idea what could have been set up to make it not work.
Basically, there are 11 video tracks, each with clips (some of the clips have been disabled, but all the tracks are enabled).
However, when I go to export/edl, with target video track unchecked, it only exports the lowest track for some reason.

edl is an old format from the linear edit days. it looks at track1 as being "video" and track2 as being "Key". if you must supply edl duplicate your sequence and flatten layers. if you need to get it to another fcp system use xml. if you're going to another system check out "Automatic Duck"

No Transitions on Multiple Tracks

I have been a Sony Vegas user for 2 years now and I just got FCPX. When I try to add a video transition to video it snaps to the audio acting like there's no video. It's extremely frustrating! I have tried re-installing it and creating a new user account. I was on the phone with 3 apple support people today. The best result I got was I had to attach the audio to the video, combine the tracks, split it where the next clip starts, and then add the transition. I'm having a hard time believing a professional editing system can't add transitions on multiple tracks, but a $90 editing system on a PC can.
If you have any suggestion please say them. Thank you!

If you're talking about adding transitions to clips above the main storyline, these are connected clips (not tracks) you need to select the relevant clips, right-click the selection and make those clips into a storyline (Cmd + G). You can then add your transitions.

Breaking up audiobooks into multiple tracks

I bought an audiobook from itunes that came as only 5 tracks. The book is 11 hours long and it would be really nice to be able to start closer to where I left off on my ipod. does anyone know how to edit mp4s to break them into multiple tracks?

Is it possible to have each field separated by a comma? Space
delimiters won't work since not all cities & states are one
word (ie. New York, New York) however a comma delimiter would allow
you to use simple list functions to extract the data.
If this isn't possible but the data is always in the format:
city<comma>state<space>zip, then you could extract the
city using comma as the delimiter and then extract the zip code
using the ListLast() function with space as the delimiter which
would leave you with the state as the remaining text. This would
only work however if your data is consistently in the format
described above.
Failing this you could build two tables with states and
cities and then use them to identify valid states and cities and
extract the data that way.

Multiple tracks in one matrix window

can anyone tell me how to get midi data from multiple tracks to show up in a single matrix window for editing?

wow. cool trick.
but it would be more helpful to me if i could select a few tracks... for example.. kick,snare,hihat, and bass. then open those 4 tracks in one matrix window. then the editing of those tracks would be very intuitive because of their relation to each other. is this possible?
ps.- why are so many things in logic "cool tricks?" I wonder if i can buy a secret book of Logics "cool tricks" at masonic temple or maybe from a wandering member of the knights templar.

Select Multiple Tracks from Library

When I am Rippinga CD to My Library, I can click on "Edit", right click and click on "Get Info.", and modify the "Genre".
When I open a CD from the Library, and click on "Edit", I can't "Select All", and "Get Info", I can't seem to change the Database.
Is there a way to select multiple tracks from the Library, and change the data?

It should be the same way you select multiple items in just about every application. Select any item. Hold SHIFT and click another item to select that and all between it and the original. Hold CTRL to toggle the selection of individual items, adding or removing them from the selection.

X-Fi Platinum Multiple track record

??I have been doing a little reading on the forum for multiple track recording but I could not find anything specific enough for what i need. I have a Fostex digital recorder and i would like to either send out the multiple tracks of say a drum recording to multiple tracks on Majix Music Studio ten. I have been playing around with it but i cant find exactly what I need. Ideally I would like to use the ADAT format from a digital optical cable to bring in the individual wave files directly to the computer. But if?can find a better way or if sombody knows of a fairly inexpensi've digital mixer with at least 6 channels (any input preferably XLR). Also my recorder has SPDIF but only in a two track format. It also has MIDI outputs and inputs but so far I dont think I can use that?for controling my software and sending in multiple tracks. I know my program can do ASIO and WDM. But I dont know what inputs are assigned to what numbers. If any body can awnser any one of these questions please post. ASIO sounds great but how do I identify the track numbers to what input and can i input all the tracks from a digital input?Comp info:?Windows

W/ ASIO, you can record from as many sources as you get listed/selected separetley in ASIO input port list (meaning those w/ names like Line-In, S/PDIF-In, Mic-In, Aux-In since, there are many of those ports meant for internal routings (W-U-H)). I don't know if you can use S/PDIF and analog inputs simultaenously. Here are some detailed information for Creative ASIO drivers (for Audigy cards but ...) - http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=profaudio&message.id=726
I think that Fostex is not very usable for you if you don't build a ADAT system over it. If you have the ADAT option in Fostex already available there and you can get 8 separate channels out from Fostex through it then you could get a soundcard which supports ADAT I/O (something like E-MU 22m ($99 atm.)) and record through Fostex into PC (though, A/D conversion quality Fostex does is propably not very good). Maybe you need more mic-preamps to record drums then too.

How do you convert a single audio file into multiple tracks?

Ive got a cassette tape that I captured. Now I want that single file to be chopped up into multiple tracks.
from there, can we burn to cd with the multi tracks? or do we need another cd burner program?
also the only way Ive been able to get rid of big pops is highlight them and cut them out. the automated processes have not been able to do this for me.
is there a procedure somewhere for this that I can follow?
thanks for your assistance.
best, M/

Jimi
this is exactly what I did with a previous cd. I thought it seemed like the long way round.
was hoping for a more automated solution.
when I came from XP land, I used to use Premiere Pro 2.0 and there was a Pro editing software that came with the Premiere suite, I forgot what it was called, but it did that automatically after adding markers and it was way better at eliminating clicks and pops.
there was a view you could use where you could see the annoying noises by looking at it using several differnt views (like looking at an infared image).
definetly had its advantages but I could not keep XP running. I got errors, blue screens, viruses, spywares, costs lots of money to fix an lots of downtime.
so far the mac as worked without any major glitches (touching wood)

IMovie '08 & Multiple Camera editing

OK, I know I saw/read/heard a blurb SOMEWHERE that mentioned that iMovie 08 was able to perform multiple camera editing now. In other words, I interpret that to mean 2, 3, or more video track lines in the timeline for performing match editing.
So where is the information that confirms this? Was Jobs the one who mentioned it? That's about the only reason I'd upgrade to 08. Otherwise I'll stick with FCStudio. But I like iMovie for the quick and dirty videos I do of the family life.

OK, I know I saw/read/heard a blurb SOMEWHERE that mentioned that iMovie 08 was able to perform multiple camera editing now.
Perhaps what you heard was the fact that imovie can import from a wide range of digital video devices and formats, including tape-based and the latest tapeless camcorders-not multiple cameras at once?
