One song in audio track breaking up

I have an entire video complete. One song in particular that I have imported keeps giving me problems. It's breaking up (almost sounds like a cell phone). It's downloaded from iTunes. I put it in as an audio clip and shortened it. When I play the video, the first time, it does okay. After that, the first time the song starts, but then starts cutting out and eventually you hear nothing, then it will come back in. If you try it again, you may not hear anything, then it the audio will come back at a different point than last time. I've tried deleting the song from the audio track and bringing it back. Same problem. No other song has this problem. When I share the movie to iDVD, it does the same thing.
Any ideas?

Only one audio file can be used in a Lightroom slideshow.
You'll have to combine multiple songs into a single audio file (e.g. using Audition) then use the single audio file in the Lightroom slideshow.
For more flexibility, you can use commercial software such as ProShow Web, Gold or Producer which comes with a free Lightroom plugin

How can I keep one of my audio tracks stationary when syncing multiple tracks?

I am trying to edit a video that has external audio from an H4N recorder and internal audio from 2 Canon DSLRs. The internal audio is just there to help my sync everything and will be muted during output. From the H4N I have one long, continuous recording, but from the cameras I have shorter clips, not all of which happened exactly after the previous one.
Here's the issue I'm having: when I sync the two video clips & the external audio early in the timeline, everything lines up (using the automatic synchronization based on waveform). However, when I am syncing clips later in the timeline, sometimes Premiere chooses to pull the external audio track FORWARD (thus bringing it out of alignment with the earlier video), rather than pushing the video tracks BACK (which is what I need).
Is there some way to tell Premiere which tracks should and should not be moved during sync? If I lock the track, then I cannot use the sync function on it at all. I basically need a way to specify that one track should be used as the "anchor" and that others should be moved forward or backward as needed, without moving the "anchor" track.

Cut up the 4n audio clip and synch it to its respective clips.

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.

How to extract one of several audio tracks from a .vob file?

Hi guys,
hope you can help me, i'm looking for a solution for hours now but can't find one.
I would like to know how to extract one audio track from a .vob file when there are different tracks/languages on the dvd? Media encoder does it very well, but i can't find the option for choosing the right audio track/language for extraction. Please help
Kind regards
Alex

This is because the OMF specification requires mono audio files
It really depends on what you are trying to do with the two tracks as to the best answer as far as 'grouping'
You could select all the clips on both tracks and right mouse click and select 'group'
You could send both tracks to a bus
You could export the two tracks to a stereo file and bring that back into the session
Lots more things I'm sure but a little more detail as to what you are trying to do would help

thanks, phill

new zealand, i've toured there a coupla times early in my career as a guitarist/MD. nice place, but like australia the population is to small to support a big music industry. that's way a lot of our talent goes overseas eg: rohan s on this board. nz people were very friendly but a lot of 'em come here because there's little work there.
these days i release my music thru cdbaby hence itunes. it works and is very flattering when people from other countries like and buy your music without all the hype made by record companies.
to tell you the truth, i'm not that into computers at all, what attacted me to post here were some of the other posters who were very hospitible towards me.
my field is really just audio recording in general and music composition/orchestration.
if i had huge money, i'd probably invest in Neves, Studers etc as i still feel they have the drop on digital audio. the most appealing thing to me with a DAW is just the standard non linear editing.
most of my music is hatch in my head and in the old daze i used to write it out long hand.
today, i still don't use instruments to write on, just my brain/ear to score in logic. saves time. playback in logic just helps me to confirm what has been written.
anyway, mate, cheers. djr.

Quicktime Video Conversion Not Preserving Multiple Audio Tracks

Hi All,
I'm trying to convert a H.264 video file to a ProRes MOV using quicktime pro 7.
This is a video file that was created using Handbrake.
In Handbrake I am able to rip several audio tracks from a VOB. In this case I need to rip both the 5.1 audio and 2.0 audio. Instead of splitting this up into separate exports, I can attach both audio tracks to the H.264 mov. I can view and edit them in the Properties window of the video in quicktime.
So what I'm starting with is a video file with two Audio tracks:
5.1 Surround: C,L,R,Ls,Rs,LFE + 2.0 Stereo: L, R
What I'd like to do is unite the two audio files to create an 8.0 track: L,R,C,LFE,Ls,Rs,Lt,Rt
By changing the naming of the stereo track from L,R to Lt,Rt in the properties windown, an option appears in the audio export settings to use the SMPTE DTV audio output (L,R,C,LFE,Ls,Rs,Lt,Rt). But when I use it, assuming it will recognize my naming structure and rearrange the tracks according, the export results in a stereo file.
What am I doing wrong?? All logic makes me assume that this should work...
I should note that when I open the H.264 in quicktime the 5.1 audio track is not enables (or clicked on) in the properties tab. I must turn it on for quicktime to recognize it in the inspector window. However, when I try to save the video it requires me to save my file in an MOV container.
When I try to simply export the file as a 8 discrete channels, it will export with 8 channels, but the first two are a stereo pair and the other 6 are silent tracks.
The only way I've found to keep these audio tracks together is to extract each audio unit separately (5.1 and 2.0) and then add one of the audio tracks to the other using the copy and "Add to Movie" feature. This is not my preferred workflow since I'd like to keep the audio and video together. I'm creating a workflow that will be repeated several times so the more I can streamline this process the better.
Please help. Any ideas would be great.

I don't think Quicktime Pro is able to export individual audio tracks. It sounds like Handbrake create an AC3 sound track and a 2.0 channel stereo track. I don't think iMovie will handle multi-track audio and Final Cut Pro X won't let you assign audio channels to individual outputs.
If you have the original VOB file, DVDxDV Pro will break it out to individual audio channels into separate AIFF audio files which you can then import into Final Cut Pro 7 and remix the audio that way.

Changing The Tempo Of Audio Tracks....Help Please!!

Hi,
I've been pulling my hair out! I bought Logic 9 today, and have been trying to find my feet making a mashup of Enya's Orinoco Flow and The Prodigy Smack My B*tch Up....It's one of the easiest 2 tracks to mix apparently. Right...to the problem, and i'm sure it's a simple one for anyone with some Logic knowledge...
The BPM for the prodigy song in audio track 1 is 136.2 which is the base bpm i want to keep for the song...
I then import Enya into Audio track 2....How on earth do i change the tempo of the enya track to 136.2 ??!! I have tried everything (Except what works, clearly)
I hope that makes sense...Any help would be apreciated!
Thanks

Are they? Wow, I had to read that bit twice, but I suppose the suggestion is that they're not too far apart in terms of tempo anyway - try establishing the tempo of both of them exactly, then you've got an idea about how much you need to adjust one against the other if the maths is too difficult (it is often for me, I prefer just to listen to it and try things and then decide).
Have a look at using the Time Machine for starters, anyway and do a bit of research in the manual and the Software Instruments manual as well - you can do things like that with the EXS24 sampler but in a different way, you know.

Audio Tracks "Mixed-up"

Here's a new one for me. Using FCP 5.0.2 and Tiger 10.4.2.
I edit an hour long program using two cameras and their respective audio so I have 4 audio tracks. After tweaking and equalizing the audio I render the whole timeline. When I play the timeline back, one of the audio tracks is playing audio from a different part of the timeline even though the timecode matches. This has happened twice on this project. Never happened before.
It's easy enough to fix, I control click on the offending audio clip and choose reconnect media but then I have to render again. Anyone know what is causing this to happen?
Thanks,
Joe Goldsberry
Media Concepts

1. delete audio renders and re-render
2. trash FCP preferences
3. run basic system maint - permissions/ verify disk, diskwarrior, etc (probably not your problem but doesn't hurt at all)
4. make sure your project is on a second hard drive
5. make sure your second hard drive has enough free space
6. make sure your system hard drive has enough free space
7. open a new project and copy your sequences into it
8. create new user account and open your project from it. If it works, some user preference is likely screwy.
cheers,

Audio tracks play back wrong audio

at some point in my mix sessions , in different sessions , one of my audio tracks starts playing back audio from both its channel and another channel simultaineously. there not always adjacent tracks , not assigned to the same voice and have seemingly nothing in common. if i change voices i can sometimes allieviate the problem or it will start playing a different track audio simultaineously. i have two records pending and need some immediate help please...

D,
Just to warn you (or throw some experience in). Logic 7 has for me, operated poorly with sessions created from older versions of Logic. It is often fine if you just want to duck in and grab something but the sessions do go weird if you just keep using them they go batty and can often get kind of self destructive.
Updating/merging/replacing the environment is one of the first steps to take, just creating new updated objects helps, even using presets and channel strips from older versions seem to give problems. Copying objects and configurations over can give you different results, but basically the more you replace and create as new the less problems you'll have.
So you know you have alot of reworking to do if you really want to do alot of work with these in the current version. Determine where a good transition point would be and try to follow with that. Often mixing or sooner than later but plan on taking some time reworking things. It's almost easiest to just grab everything and paste it over into a 7 built autoload-without the plugins. Audio Objects and plugin instances seem to give alot of problems. I usually end up redoing a bunch of stuff if I have a ways to go and export away. Things really get fixed along the way but it is a pain and better to do it sooner. Unless you're coming up on a mixing stage or something soon I'd just do it (and keep a backup of the older versions just in case I want to retrieve something.
I am working on an album that was created on a 6 autoload and 12 of 13 tracks had to be reformatted in 7 from forward INcompatabilities-some of them twice because they did not get a 100% clean autoload (as in the instruments and/or audio objects were opied over). Maybe I'm just weird, don't take only my word on this because it is alot of work for many projects to just redo things like this but you should be aware of what some people have encountered and be prepared to take some of those steps if there are more people saying their experience has been like this.
Best of Luck

HOW CAN I SPLIT STEREO AUDIO TRACKS

I'm trying to modify one of the audio tracks but both of the tracks are locked. If I do something with one of the tracks it affects the other one so how can I split it? or separate it? is it stereo? is there any way I can do it? THANKS!!!!!!!

Premiere corrupted the audio track of XDCAM EX

I am very new to Premiere. I received a file from a friend who wants me to convert the video to NTSC DV widescreen. I imported the MP4 file and added it to the timeline. I was able to convert fine with exception to an aspect ratio issue. So, I decided to try again. Much to my surprise I find the audio track is corrupt. The first part of the track is fine except with occassional pops & cracks, then after about 10 minutes the entire audio track turns to peaked white noise? I checked the modify date of the source file and sure enough it has changed. I did not tell Premiere to overwrite anything and thought it woudl not alter source files. How can this be? What can I do?
Thanks.

Thank you all for your help. What I ended up doing was create a new project and import the entire BPAV directory. However, after conforming, there was still one clip's audio track that was corrupt. So, I decided to create yet another project and inport only the single troubled clip. After conforming the audio track was still corrupt. I did look at the audio tracks closely and they were corrupt in the same place. (eg. the beginning of the track was fine and then suddenly at a set point the track would go bad). I know it is not a bad file because Sony's player plays it fine. So, I did some checking and found the "Media Cache Files" folder. I blew the contents away, recreated another new project and imported the troubled clip. After conforming I find the audio in Premiere is just fine. The media cache files were taking up a lot of space but had not nearly filled the drive. What ever it was I'm glad there is a forum like this to help us new users.
Thanks again,
ISTMAN

Audio Track has gone white - cant hear it, please help!

Hi
One of my audio tracks has been highlighted white and will not play back. I have soloed the track and it wont play even though i can see the data (wave) in the region. The track is also not muted. Is the data accesible again?
Please help,
Thanks
Jonny Spall

Is the data accesible again?
Probably, it is maybe muted (does it have a bullet in it's name?-there are several places to mute). It an also be muted with the light blue "M" button-your description is a little cofusing though.

Unlocking Audio Tracks Imported from Firestore Product

I've imported audio and video from a Firestore product into FCP 5.1.4.
Interviewee mic on Ch. 1 and camera mic on Ch. 2.
Place the clip in the timeline...
I'd like to delete one of the audio tracks...in this case Ch. 2.
When I lock one of the audio tracks, I am still unable to delete the other audio track...even though the timeline track is not locked.
A work-around is to just mute the track that I'd like to delete, but I was wondering if it's possible to separate the audio that was imported from the Firestore product.

I think the issue isn't the Firestore. If the track(s) are linked as a stereo pair, you can't delete just one. But it's easy to select and then unlink. After that, you should be able to delete just one (or mute it separately for that matter).

Cannot seem to add more then 4 audio tracks

Hi everyone, I'm a new logic user and I just can't seem to add more then four audio tracks. If I keep going "track>create with next instrument" I seem to only add buses. I've been searching for answers in Orren Merton's "Logic Pro 7 Power" but I still can't seem to find an answer. Hope someone can help me, thanks in advance.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Highlight one of the audio tracks, then in that same menu in the arrange window, select "Create Multiple..." then it will ask you how many you need....
If that doesn't do it, come back here for further instruction.

Quicktime file with corrected audio track not working with iWeb Gallery

Hello Everyone,
I shot a video and accidentally recorded on one audio track only (posted in another post). I've fixed the audio in Quicktime Pro by selecting the audio track (track 1) onto track 2 and hence I've got "fake" stereo or mono audio. The QuickTime file plays perfectly on my desktop. The audio is coming through both channels, as well.
Now, my problem is that when I've tried to upload the file to my iLife '08 iWeb site, the audio is back to one channel again. The video plays beautifully, however. I even uploaded the QuickTime file to my iDisk and from there to my web gallery through iLife '06. Still, the audio is only coming through on one track.
Hmm, is there a setting in QuickTime Pro that I might have missed after I "fixed" the audio? Like I said, the file plays perfectly on my desktop. I've even burned the file to DVD and it plays perfectly on my home DVD player. Somehow along the upload process the 2nd audio track is dropped. Any advice is very much appreciated.
Frustrated in Texas,
-Jack

Hello QuickTimeKirk,
Thanks for all of your advice and to the others who have chimed in with their input. My audio problem is solved. The problem with one of the audio tracks getting dropped once the QuickTime file was uploaded to my Web Gallery has been fixed. I had to re-export the original QuickTime File and somehow the tracks corrected themselves. I believe they were canceling themselves out the first time. Weird.
Now, however, I see that I'm getting the blue Quicktime symbol when I open the URL. It takes about a minute (at least with my cable connection) for the poster frame to show up. I did flatten the file and have it set to play automatically. See what you get on your end: http://web.mac.com/honeybear7/Site/Movie.html if you don't mind. This is just a test page, so this is not the final presentation. The window size of the movie, however, is set.
What is the best possible setting I can have the file set on for it to play the quickest? I know much of it is dependent on the connection speed. This also is not a small file. It's 214 Mb, but it's a 40 minute movie and looks okay on the web. Having burned it on DVD as a 2.9 gig file it, of course, looks much better with no blocking. I originally shot it with an HD Canon camera.
Any more advice is greatly appreciated. Have a great weekend.
-Jack
