Odd issue when splitting stereo files..

One very useful feature in AA CS 5.5 is splitting stereo wavs into two mono files. I work in games developer and need this.
But an issue has arisen with a tool I use that converts to a particular format for Sony PSP games: it doesn't like these split files. It's fine with the stereo files and with other mono samples, but not the product of the "Split to Mono" function.
Does something happen to the .wavs when this is carried out; are they 'different' in some way? Opening them and using "Save As.." to create a new file solves the problem but it would be good to know why it's happening.

Logic 8 plays split stereo files random

When I play a split stereo file Logic 8 plays those files random, they aren't synced together. Sometimes some audio files aren't playing at all. Stop and play solves in most cases this problem. I have this on several harddisks.
It seems like a defragmented harddisk. I erased and re-formatted the harddisk already, no results. I use DAE and Core Audio together.
Any suggestions?
Wim

try to use only built-in driver...
which are the interfaces that you have for not DAE tracks?
Is this issue only on the DAE tracks?
This not a Logic problem .. or better I never got this problem!
How many DAE tracks are in your DAE preference settings...
are you sure that you have the DAE DSPs power that can play all tracks that you have selected?

Splitting Stereo Files

How do you split stereo files in Logic? Anyone? Whenever I import a stereo file, it comes as one interleaved track. I change the track to accept stereo files (at the bottom of the fader in the lower left hand corner) and even when I double-click on the file, I see two channels, yet I can't alter them. Is there a way to fix this? Please help. Thanks.

How do you split stereo files in Logic?
I see two channels, yet I can't alter them. Is there a way to fix this?
Is your question: "How do I split a stereo interleaved file into two mono files with Logic?" or is your question "How do I use split stereo (dual-mono) files in Logic?"
For the first, there are options in the audio window to convert and split files.
If it's the second, then you can turn "Universal Track mode" OFF in your audio preferences - now all channels are mono and stereo files are controlled by two mono faders.
However, working in this mode is kinda ugly and has some disadvantages, but if you prefer it, fair enough.
Finally, if you just want to be able to process left and right channels of a stereo file independently, you can always route to a couple of busses and pan left or right to get the two halves, or duplicate your stereo track and select "Left channel only" and "Right channel only" by click holding on the O-OO stereo channel selector.
Does that help?

How do I bounce two mono split stereo files to one mp3?

Might sound like a stupid question, but I have several problems:
I bounced a waveburner-mix of my favorite songs as a split stereo file and inserted the two files in two logic mono audio tracks.
First problem: Do I have to pan the left audio-track left and the right to the right or do I keep them centered?
Second problem: The two tracks are louder than the original track. (no matter, if they are panned or centered. Shouldn´t the original have the same volume at my output-channel?
Third problem: Is it possible to bounce more than 2 GB with Logic 8? The mix is very long and when I want to bounce it, logic tells me that it is too big. Can I bounce larger files with logic 9 under OS 10.6?

Felix Bartelt wrote:
Last question remaining: Can I bounce larger files under Logic 9 and OS 10.7. or does L9 also have the 2 GB restriction?
No and no. The file size restriction is not Logics' restriction, it is a restriction of the file type itself. To be able to bounce longer and/or bigger files, use .caf.
From the manual:
+AIFF: The AIFF file format cannot handle audio file recordings larger than 2 GB:+
++For 16-bit, 44.1 kHz stereo files, this equals a recording time of about 3 hours and 15 minutes.+
+For 24-bit, 96 kHz, 5.1 surround files, this equals a recording time of about 20 minutes.+
+WAVE (BWF): The WAVE file format cannot handle audio file recordings larger than 4 GB:+
+For 16-bit, 44.1 kHz stereo files, this equals a recording time of about 6 hours and 30 minutes.+
+For 24-bit, 96 kHz, 5.1 surround files, this equals a recording time of about 40 minutes.+
+CAF: If the size of your recording exceeds the above limits, choose the CAF (Apple Core Audio Format) file format, which can handle the following recording times:+
+About 13 hours and 30 minutes at 44.1 kHz+
+About 6 hours at 96 kHz+
+About 3 hours at 192 kHz+
+The bit depth and channel format—mono, stereo, or surround— *do not affect* the maximum recording size of CAF files.+

"disconnect split stereo files" not working

I'm trying to split a stereo audio file into two mono files (manual page 855):
Disconnecting Split Stereo Files
Both sides of a split stereo file are normally edited together. On
occasion, however, you may need to edit one side individually.
To disconnect a split stereo file:
1 Select (either side of) the split stereo file in the Audio Bin.
2 Choose Edit > Disconnect Selected Split Stereo File.
You can now edit both sides of the recording as individual mono files. This function will
only disconnect one split stereo file at a time.
When I select the stereo file in the Audio Bin and choose "disconnect selected split stereo file", the following pops up:
"please select exactly the split stereo audio file you want to disconnect"
I thought I was?
I see the two interconnected circles signifying a stereo file. I choose that file and follow the instructions above but I cannot split the file.

I think I misunderstood. You don't have a split stereo file, you want to split an interleaved file. I see no split stereo files (suffix .L and .R) in your screenshot, so...
From the local Audio Bin menu, choose *Copy/Convert File(s)*
In the conversion dialog, set *Stereo Conversion* to *Interleaved to Split*. Check the *Add to Audio Bin* option. Now two files, suffixed .L and .R, will appear in the audio bin. These are split stereo files.
regards, Erik.
Oh, and this is how to post screenshots:
The pic needs to be online
Once you've uploaded it, go to where it is uploaded, right- or ctrl-click on the picture and choose *Copy Link Location*. Go to your post and add the following syntax to it:

You must substitute < and > for the {}braces shown above, and +the quotation marks are essential+.
Use the Preview tab (right above the five format buttons) when writing a post to check if the screenshot shows up in your post, before actually posting it.

PPRO CS5.5 - Clumsy handling of Split Stereo Files

Hi....
I work in ProtoolsHD and thus with Split-Stereo files which is standard in that part of the industry.
I would have thought that PPRO would conform to standards and recognize i.e. AudioFile.L & AudioFile.R as being a stereo-pair.
It does not.
So I went ahead and created TWO mono tracks, then selected the .L & .R audio file in the project panel, wanting to drag them into the PPRO timeline.
Instead of putting the files on the two monaural audio tracks, PPRO would put them on the same track only .R would be inserted AFTER .L.
Not very pleasing when dealing with 100 audio clips. And NOT conforming to professional audio standards at all
I went back to PT and interleaved all the splits. But this is not very economical as in case changes are to be made to the score later on.
Then I would have to, in ProtoolsHD, first change the Split and THEN again, convert it to interleaved.
Not a HUGE problem but for an NLE with the word PRO in it, I sure would come to expect that it would handle and recognize Split Stereo Files
Thanks

Jeff,
thanks for chiming in... However, when you import a split stereo file it worx like this
AudioFile.L
AudioFile.R
Two files. Not one.
PPRO does not recognize the Split stereo elements and treats them as two monural files.
So when you open the modify audio file dialog it will only open either one at a time and look like below
Thanks for taking the time to post, though !

FAQ: How do I troubleshoot audio issues when importing .MTS files?

Hello. The link FAQ: How do I troubleshoot audio issues when importing .MTS files?
does not work, and i need the answer please. My imported MTS clips are not playing back audio because it seems that no audio imported with the video. Thanks, Don.

Hi there
Audio plays when the object with the audio assigned appears. This is why you hear it when the Button appears.
Try assigning the audio instead to the object that appears when you click the button. Perhaps the caption.
Cheers... Rick

Wow. Okay...
I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

Ask a simple question and get a simple answer...see below...hilarious:
All representatives are actively assisting other customers. Your estimated wait time is 0 minute(s) and 1 second(s) or longer. Thank you for your patience.
We all can learn from this. Whenever you get stuck in a customer-service situation that goes nowhere, as soon as you become aware of the futility, get the name and employee ID of the person, then say, "I don't mean to be rude, I think we're both wasting our time. Perhaps you weren't trained for this issue, or perhaps your system isn't displaying the correct information. It doesn't matter, because I'm not getting proper customer support this way. Please ESCALATE this to your highest-level manager IMMEDIATELY. If that person isn't availabe, ESCALATE me to that person's highest-level manager. If you haven't been given the proper training, you can use this to inform your manager that you need the training. Thanks for trying to help. I appreciate it. I have copied and saved this chat session. NOW PLEASE ESCALATE THIS CASE AS I HAVE REQUESTED ABOVE. I'm waiting now... "
The point is that you're a customer, and the company needs customers, so the individual who's failing to deliver good service needs to be identified so they can be properly trained, and so that problems in the system can also be identified, but more important is that you get the service you're entitled to.
If you search the forum for similar questions, you'll see the kind of information that the volunteer users like yourself on the forum need to know about your system and files involved, so they can help you better.
Good luck.

Packing Split Stereo Files in a Take (Comp) Folder

Hi everybody
is it possible to pack Stereo Split Files in a take-folder. I can do this with interleaved files, but not with split stereo files..
Thanks Bernhard

Hi,
Except for composite.xml, none of the other files you mentioned(wsdl file, xsd, .jca, .xml etc.) have code in them. .jca file is like config file for JCA Adapters,wsdl and xsd are service artifacts.
The control starts with the endpoint of the service and would propagate to the other components of the composite like mediator,bpel,human taskflow or references like database adapter,JMS adapter depending on the composite design.

Ajay

Odd issue when using UDT (user defined type)

Hi all,
11g.
I ran into an odd issue when using UDT, I have these 4 schemas: USER_1, USER_2, USER_A, USER_B.
Both USER_1 and USER_2 have an UDT (actually a nested table):
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TAB_NUMBERS AS TABLE OF NUMBER(10)USER_A has a synonym points to the type in USER_1:
create or replace synonym TAB_NUMBERS for USER_1.TAB_NUMBERS;USER_B has a synonym points to the type in USER_2:
create or replace synonym TAB_NUMBERS for USER_2.TAB_NUMBERS;Both USER_A and USER_B have a procedure which uses the synonym:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE proc_test (p1 in tab_numbers)
IS
BEGIN
NULL;
END;And in the C# code:
OracleConnection conn = new OracleConnection("data source=mh;user id=USER_A;password=...");
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand();
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.CommandText = "proc_test";
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
OracleParameter op = new OracleParameter();
op.ParameterName = "p1";
op.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input;
op.OracleDbType = OracleDbType.Object;
op.UdtTypeName = "TAB_NUMBERS";
Nested_Tab_Mapping_To_Object nt = new Nested_Tab_Mapping_To_Object();
nt.container = new decimal[] { 1, 2 };
op.Value = nt;
......This code works fine, but it raises an error when I change the connection string from USER_A to USER_B, the error says:
OCI-22303: type ""."TAB_NUMBERS" not foundInterestingly, if I change op.UdtTypeName = "TAB_NUMBERS"; to op.UdtTypeName = "USER_2.TAB_NUMBERS", the error is gone, and everything works fine.
Anyone has any clues?
Thanks in advance.

Odd Issue when using Firewire drive with Leopard-Locks up Dock, etc.

I have an odd issue that has developed on my MBP using OS X 10.5.1 Leopard. It only appears to occur when I plug in my External Firewire Lacie Rugged Hard Drive. I only use that Hard Drive approximately once a week when doing a complete mirror backup of my MBP's Hard Drive using SuperDuper. As far as I can tell the issue occurs only once the Hard Drive is plugged in, not because of SuperDuper or the Backup.
Here is the issue: For some reason within a minute of plugging in my hard drive my Dock doesn't work. It scrolls when I put the mouse pointer down to the Dock but it won't open up any icons I click on. It's just like it doesn't recognize the left mouse button. Also, I am unable to select any menus at the top of the screen. I can left click on them and even right click on an icon such as Macintosh HD on the desktop and there is no response. I am able to drag Windows across my desktop though but it seems overall that my keyboard becomes inactive. For example in a open Numbers spreadsheet I am able to use the left mouse button (so it works then) to select a textbox and get the blinking cursor but yet if I type and use even the delete key there is no response. Even after I'm done with the Hard Drive if I drag the Lacie to the trash to eject it won't eject. The only way to eject it is simply pull the Firewire cable out.
I had a few issues with my system earlier and found out I had some bad memory. The memory was replaced and the problems went away. I am worried I had some corrupted files from that time but what puzzles me is I have used my laptop for weeks with no problems. It is only while I plug in this hard drive. In a worse case if I can't figure out how to fix it I feel I'll have to do a complete format and reinstall Leopard and I don't want to have to do that. This only occurs when I do the backup but can be a pain. Any ideas if I can fix this?

Digital Media Designer Issue when loading a file?

Hi I'm experiencing an issue when I try to bring a media asset to my layout. After I loaded the file to the library I go to the Designer to create a presentation then I click on the icon "Media" beside Enterprise TV icon in order to add one of the assets from the library but it does not allow me to select the file. I could select the file from the icon Playlist.
I wonder if this is not the correct porcess.
I have to say that I just upgraded to 5.2 and I am not familiar to all the features and options.
I attached a screen shot from that window.
Thanks

Hi Tomas,
Yes it "works" that's what I did instead but doesn't seem to be the best practice because when I run the video in the display it show a little cut after it restarts. And also, i think it's better to use Media instead of Playlist when you want to publish images, because I noticed that the "effects" it has does not look nice at all and the images playlist looks much better and smooth when you add them as Media and assign a duration.
Anything else to get this working properly, I have tested it at my local Cisco's office and it worked fine now I upgraded my DMS to 5.2 and I am facing this issue, therefore I wonder if it is a bug or might be an installation issue or smething else related with configuration.
Thanks!

Issues when sharing InDesign files across Mac and PC?

I'm looking for advise regarding cross platform use of the same InDesign files. We'll be working on 1000+ files with high resolution images. One designer works on a Mac and the other on a PC. We run the same version of InDesign. So far we are finding some (not all) fonts have issues where a PC font has to be replaced by the Mac equivalent and this often means the text box size has to change. When finished the files will be handed over to a fabricator.
Should we be getting a 2nd Mac to replace the PC or is this cross platform sharing going to work without long term issues down the road?
Thank you.

Please, let's not let this get into a platform war.
There's no reason to buy another computer to collaborate unless one of your users is unhappy with the platform they use now, and then the deciding factor should be personal choice. One is decidedly not better than the other from any technical standpoint as far as working in Adobe applications. If you want to cooperate with other users it's best that everyone have the same version of ID, which you've already said is the case, so the only point of conflict is cross-platform sharing, and the only hangups there are fonts and a few third party plugins that might be available only on one platform. If you stick to OpenType fonts, fonts be come a non-issue, and if you don't have OpenType, Stick withthe PD fonts for what becomes a minor nuisance on the Mac side. As far as plugins, nothing you can do if you need a one-platform release to do the work on both sides, but most third-pary plugins are friendly enough that you can stillopen the file with missing plugins on the other end if necessary and don't need the functionality to do your work.

Security issues when using the file adapter

I want to use the file adapter, and in the documentation it states that you can use "directories" and "ftp".
I want to transfer a file secure and both of these options are not really secure.
Directory reading is not really secure when you read files from a windows share (SMB protocol).
Is it possible to make a share more secure in a windows environment?
In an ftp session everybody can steal the password. Is there a possibility to use "sftp"? Or will this be available?

Currently we dont have, but we will have it soon.
