Need a time compression plug-in.. ideas?

Hi everyone, I'm working on a project where I need to do time compression of a song. In Avid's Audio Suite, I'd use Time Compression Expansion to change the speed of a clip without affecting pitch. How can I do this in Soundtrack? Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,
It's really easy.
Load the file into the audio waveform editor.
Select a region.
Then:
Select the timestretch tool (press the t key)
Grab the right edge of the selection and drag it shorter or longer
OR
Select Process->Time Stretch ...
If you are using the grab the edge and drag approach, be aware that you can't drag longer past the end of the clip. If you really want to do this, you'll need to add some silence to drag into (with the process->Time Stretch... you can select a length that is longet than the original clip).

Yes, it will do a full backup.
and if so, do I really need all the old backups on my smaller external drive?
Only if you want to be able to go back in time to those previous Time Machine backups. When you plug in the new larger external drive, you will only be able to go back as far as the first day you plugged it in and ran the first Time Machine backup on it.

What exactly does the message say?

Can I use the Apple Time Capsule to store my compressed DVD's and access from my iPad/iPod/iPhone while on a trip if I have the Time Capsule plugged in in the car/SUV?

what player do you intend to use? That is what I am wanting to check.. you understand there is no itunes server in the TC..
BTW if you want to use the TC in your car/SUV.. convert it to 12v operation.

How much time ipod needs to restore after plugging with external power?

how much time ipod needs to restore after plugging with external power?

Restore? Do you mean power on after it's been drained for awhile? It depends how long it's been dead. Sometimes it can take awhile (10-20 minutes maybe more) in some cases.

Does your iTunes see your nano?
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes
If so, then follow through this:
How to reset iPod
Restoring iPod to factory settings
If not, do one or more of the following
Restart your computer
Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes [Windows XP] [Windows Vista & 7]
Reset iPod (will NOT delete everything)
Go to My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista & 7) and see if it shows
Restore iPod (WILL delete everything)
Make sure iTunes and iOS firmware is up to date.
Hope all this helps.

HT201210 Every time I plug my Ipod touch into itunes it tells me it cannot read it and it needs to be reset to factory settings.

Can anyone help us figure out why every time we plug 2 of our 3 ipod touch devices it tells us to reset it to factory settings. We have reset them a few times but it still tells us to do it every time we plug them in to itunes to sync them.

- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Try a different USB port
- Try a another cable
- Try another computer. If this works this points to your computer. If no then it points to iPod problem

We have a family computer in our house. We have several ipod touches and one iphone. Every time I plug in my new iphone, the computer erases my contacts and puts my daughter's contacts on it. How can I stop this from happening?

Every time I plug in my new iphone, all my contacts get erased and my daughter's contacts appear on my phone as well as her pictures from her ipod touch. What do I need to do to keep this from happening?

Why do I need Quick time 7 and Quicktime 10 ?

I have just migrated from iMac5 (2.16 GHz) Mac OS 10.4.11 Quicktime 7.6.4 to a new imac 3.06 Mac OS 10.6.2 Quicktime 10.0.
Some of my quicktime files play ok but others prompt me to download quicktime version 7. Why do I need to do this ? (There seem to be a lot of problems with this looking at the forums). All the files play on the old mac. Why isn't Quicktime forward compatible or why is there no import facility so that you can make your old files compatible ?
Or am I missing something ?

Some of my quicktime files play ok but others prompt me to download quicktime version 7. Why do I need to do this ?
Because your system thinks you are missing specific codecs required for the playback of certain compression formats. In some cases this may be an installation problem in which the codec was "lost" or "orphaned" during the update process. In others it may be a need to update the component to work properly under the dual QT X/7 framework installed under the Snow Leopard OS. You need to check the Inspector/Finder Info or similar window to determine what specific codec is causing the problem and then re-install or update that specific codec/component/package.
(There seem to be a lot of problems with this looking at the forums).
Most of the problems are "self-inflicted" by individuals who, rather than studying the problem symptoms, analyzing them to determine their cause, and then fixing the problems, elect to immediately delete and re-install software -- often attempting to mix components from different operating systems and/or update versions of the software in their haste.
All the files play on the old mac. Why isn't Quicktime forward compatible or why is there no import facility so that you can make your old files compatible?
I am running both Leopard and Snow Leopard variations of QT v7.6.6 and all of my "old" files have remained compatible -- to include MPEG-2 video and a limited number of third-party supported compression formats. Since my configurations continue to work properly, my first guess is that you have an unresolved configuration problem or inability for your QT X 64-bit routines to communicate/switch properly with the 32-bit routines as required for your content.
Why do I need Quick time 7 and Quicktime 10?
Technically, you probably don't. However, as an old QT 7 Pro user who likes many of the QT 7 Player controls/options/features better than QT X's new but more basic features, I maintain both in active service and tend to use QT 7 as the default player of most of my work flows. Still, this is up to the individual. I am in no hurry to rush the changeover from an older but still more reliable QT technology to a more modern, but as yet, less mature and well tested "new" QT technology. In short, I feel it best to make the most of both dispensations during the development of this "new" version of QT.

1st generation ipod. When I plug it into my computer an image of a disk w/a magnifying glass appears (disk scan). Each time I plug it in it does the same thing and it wont show up on my computer.

I have a 1st generation ipod, which I love. When I plug it into my computer an image of a disk with a magnifying glass appears (disk scan). When it finishes the scan it always checks out. I then restart it and all looks fine. Each time I plug it in to the computer it does the same thing and it wont show up on my computer. The other strange thing is all of the songs are gone from the ipod but the disk space is still being used. When the ipod is not plugged into the computer everything look fine even the correct date shows up. Any ideas????? Thanks

try reinstalling iTunes.

Have an iPhone 3GS, and it will not restore. It says (-1) error and won't restore. I updated to iOS 5.0.1, and have the latest version of iTunes. Every time I plugged my phone in last week it would crash and I would have to connect it to iTunes. Help!

Last week I updated my iTunes, updated to iOS 5.0 and ever since I did this my phone has been going nuts. Any time I plug it into a charger I get a screen that tells me I need to connect to iTunes. I have had to restore it multiple times in order for it to work.
I've tried doing resets, restoring to factory-everything that I can find online to do. I've spoken with ATT tech support and done everything they've said to do regarding my greyed out wifi, my phone only working on 3G, and other issues.
The first iPhone 3GS I got had a defective camera, so ATT replaced it free of charge. I've had this one for a year, and quite frankly cannot afford a new one.
If anyone knows anything I can do to fix it, I would really appreciate it.

11.1 is now the most recent iTunes. Downloading it may take a bit since everyone got hit today with the need to update their iTunes on the very same day the iOS update came out and you have to update iTunes to update the iOS.
YOu should still be able to charge it without updating iTunes.

Time compression / expansion

New to Logic Pro, need help. I make commercials and constantly have to time compress or expand voiceovers to fit to the donut length in the music beds. Is there an easy way to accomplish this?? These will be voice audio files, not midi files. Also how do I change the timeline in the arrange window to display minutes/seconds and/or timecode?
Thanks from a long time PT user. (12 years) and ready to make a change.
mike

There is a quick way that I use all the time.
Comp your V/O with the desired read etc.... then merge the audio files in to one.
Set the cycle area with the desired length in the donut.
Under Audio in the arrange menu.
'Adjust region length to locators' and you're done.
(set this to a key command, for fast editing)
Note: This uses the selected timestretch algorithm, that is selected in the Time Machine of the Sample editor window.
You might need to refresh your overview for that particular audio region after, as there is a redraw bug, where the audio might not look like it goes to the end of the region, when in fact it is just drawn incorrectly.

Is a time capsule a good idea for a college student living in a dorm?

Is a time capsule a good idea for a college student living in a dorm?

Before you buy......you need to check with the school to see if they allow wireless routers in the dorms, or on campus at all.
Most schools prohibt the use of wireless routers due to interference issues.
Even if the school might allow this, there is no way to know in advance how well this might work....and frankly this type of setup is difficult, even if you have a friend who "knows computers".
If it were me, I would purchase a hard drive for backups....just like you do now.... and send an email once or twice a week to the student to remind them to "backup".

Logic quits after time compression/expansion

Logic Pro 8 quits EVERY TIME after I use a time compression/expansion plug-in in the sample editor. It does not matter if I use Logic's own plug-in or if I use Serato Pitch 'n Time LE. I am currently spending all my time in core audio as opposed to DAE/TDM land. Anyone else have this issue?
Mark Miller

I used to be hard core Logic only, and then I noticed something (this may seem off topic but I'm getting around to the point). For the first time, probably about 2 or 3 years ago, Digidesign got off their laurels and realized that other software platforms were taking legitimate shots at their "industry standard."
That's when you saw instrument tracks implemented - that's when you saw better (but still far from the quality of Logic) MIDI implementation. . . that's when the Digidesign AIR group was created. . . that's when Digi added the dynamic transport, flexible track resizing, screen sets, included software instruments.
As a whole, Pro Tools still does not give you the abilities out of the box that Logic does. However, whatever gap Logic 8 closed between itself and Pro Tools with audio editing, Digi widened even further than before with the introduction of elastic time. That's when I finally realized that Pro Tools, a great editor, tracking, and mixing machine, finally realized that its throne was threatened and went to defend it. My work used to primarily take place in Logic, however, that has switched. I probably do 60-80% of my work now in PT and still use Logic for mixing and such. For whatever reason I just like it better. . . I"m sure that will change over too. All pro tools has to do is implement a Logic-esque MIDI editor and I'm not sure I'd have any reason to stay with Logic. Digi has really stepped up to the plate in a time where it has looked like Logic has stepped up, and then done nothing to stay up.
All that to say if you want good timestretching, right now PT is just about the only way to go.
