Parallel audio keyframe adjustment in two track audio files like music

Been trying to figure this out...let's assume I have a music track with stereo audio and I set up to have it occupy two tracks in the timeline.
How do I make keyframe adjustments on one track and have them automatically also be made in the other track at the same time (as in other NLE's)?
Thanks.

Thanks for responding. I am fully aware that I can take the two stereo tracks of a left and right audio file and
drop them onto ONE audio track in Premieres Timeline...and not need to have the file occupy the two audio tracks.
But what if I did break it into two audio tracks for some reason. Is there a way to add keyframes to one of the two
tracks (or raise and lower the levels of one track) and have the other track automatically add the same adjustments?
I've been trying to group, link and all other combinations but there doesn't seem to be way that I can find myself.
Thank you again.

Issue running parallel audio files

I am trying to set up a XIB with two buttons to play audio - one for music and one for narration. Files for music are stored in a music directory within the resources bundle. Files for narration (with names different than the music file names) are stored in a narration directory within the same resources bundle.
When I installed just the music portion, it played fine on both the Simulator and on my iPad.
After I added very parallel code for the narration portion, things got strange.
     IN THE SIMULATOR
          The NSLog for the music path was unchanged and the music played.
          The NSLog for the narration path showed NULL and obviously failed - OSStatus -50
     ON THE IPAD (with no change of code)
          The NSLog for the music path now showed NULL and also failed - OSStatus -50
          The NSLog for the narration path showed NULL and failed - OSStatus -50
I also commented out the code related only to the music path, but that made no change in the effect on the narration path.
A view of the essential code follows. What do I need to do different to get the narration path to work? And to keep the music path working on the iPad?
- (void)viewDidLoad
    [super viewDidLoad];
NSString *musicTrack = . . .; (defined here)
NSString *musicDirectory = . . .; (defined here)
NSString *narrationTrack = . . .; (defined here)
NSString *narrationDirectory = . . .;    (defined here)
NSString *resourcesBundlePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle]pathForResource:@"Resources" ofType:@"bundle"];
NSBundle *resourcesBundle = [NSBundle bundleWithPath:resourcesBundlePath];
NSString *pathToAudioMusicFile = [resourcesBundle pathForResource:musicTrackofType:@"m4a" inDirectory:musicDirectory];
NSLog ( @"Music path: %@", pathToAudioMusicFile);
// Now use same resourcesBundle for the Audio Narration Player
NSString *pathToAudioNarrationFile = [resourcesBundle pathForResource: narrationTrackofType:@"m4a" inDirectory:narrationDirectory];
NSLog ( @"Narration path: %@", pathToAudioNarrationFile);

This really sounds like a question for the Developer Forums.

Backing up audio files from music production apps onto sd card

Hi,
I was considering buying a new 128gb iPad Air, however I'm trying to find a cheaper alternative for my concern, I want to back up my audio files from BM2 onto an usb card via a camera connection kit from an iPad 3 32gb, it would be great if I could also read from it, especially two things in one go, I could use an SD card to store my audio files, and read into BM2, and also free the usb connector for a keyboard. I plan to start performing live and have produced more than 450 tracks, but I want each set to be unique, with different parts of different tracks playing via BM2 also with live keyboard performances routing through Audiobus. I find that like the next level compared to Djaying already produced tracks, also if I progress I could also manage a few live sessions while performing, via Samplr by recording samples from what's playing in output or sessions on other music apps which might not be Audiobus compatible, like iMPC, please could you give us this option to move audio files from device to SD card or usb to transfer onto a computer to back up, in case internet is very weak, or would Apple not allow it? I mainly produce on Intua Beatmaker and have been producing since 2009, I have a sound cloud account www.soundcloud.com/a-submitter, and a website www.asubmitter.com. Please since my internet connection is really bad, as though NSA are tampering with it or Sky are curtailing it, I cannot move bulk folders or files which I highlight via Filezilla, and sometimes moving one file takes ages working as low as 90kbps, when I have a fibre optical internet line from Sky, and it is supposed to be 8mbs upload and 15mbs download, my computer is a mac mini 2012, the latest, but not the highest spec, but still the internet performs as though it's ten years ago.
Thanks
Kash

The camera connection kit can only be used to copy photos/videos to the iPad's Videos app. If you want to leave feedback for Apple (these are user-to-user forums) then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

How do I put audio files in Music without syncing to iTunes?

I'm on the road with my laptop and iPhone. I've created some audio files on the laptop and I need to put them on my iPhone. I'd like to access them with the Music folder. I haven't yet converted from MobileMe to iCloud and my desktop computer is the one I use to sync to my iPhone. If I used my laptop to sync to my iPhone while on the road I believe that I'll lose all of my current music and podcasts on the iPhone. Any suggestions as to how I could get these audio files from my laptop to my iPhone?
Thanks,
Landis

Hmm.
Probably easier for me to put all my stuff on my wife's computer I suppose.
Rebuilding all those iTunes playlists is not very fun though.
And of course anything new that I want on my laptop I will have to duplicate on her laptop in the future.
Not sure how iCloud works just yet.
So you can't have two laptops and manually sync both people's stuff to one iPad?

OT: Cataloguing audio files like LightRoom does with images

This is very off topic perhaps, so I apologise to start with.
I saw Lightroom in use on an acquaintance's computer and I was impressed by it's possibilities. I know Adobe does things with audio, but does Adobe have something like LR specially for audio files? Maybe people using Audition have an idea where I could look for anything like that? I especially liked the Folders and Collections views.
Regards, Sander Stols

OK: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is the very popular program that enables you to:
1) catalog all your images by making a reference catalogue to them - it shows thumbnails you use to quickly identify the images and you can sort the catalog entries in many different useful ways;
2) edit images with some advanced tools;
3) make a slde show of selected images;
4) print images in several kinds of formats; and
5) publish images to the web.
I would like to be able to do this also with my audio collection. So essentially I am looking for a nice cataloguing program that accepts all kinds of audio formats (flac, ape, wav, mp3, mp4, ogg, etc.). I now only have a text catalog telling me where to find a specific audio file on my drives, but nothing in the way of an easy access to the file itself.
All the programs that I found on the internet were much restricted in one way or another: mostly they accepted mp3 only, and rarely could handle flac or ape.
Thank you for your response.

How to "Export All Tracks as Audio Files" in Pro Tools?

I have a Pro Tools session that I want to mix in Logic. So I need to bounce all tracks as audio files like Logic's "Export All Tracks as Audio Files" command. Does anyone know if this is possible in PT, or do I need to bounce one track at a time (in realtime!)?

Sorry, but the previous answers are not quite correct. Consolidate tracks will only merge all your edits and fades and make a new audio file out of it. It wont consolidate any automation or insert effects. The same is true for exporting audio from the regions pane. Therefore you still have to perform a "bounce to disk" in order to consolidate properly. So no it doesn't have the "Export All Tracks as Audio Files" option......
Christian,
When "exporting" from one DAW to another, it's generally understood that automation and plug-ins will not be included.
Exporting from Pro Tools does indeed bounce the files to disk. We aren't talking about a stereo mix here. We're talking about exporting all the individual tracks. Are have I misunderstood you?
.... which leads me on to this question. How long has logic had the "Export All..." function as I have been performing "track lays" (i.e. getting my logic stuff ready for a pro-tools mix) for films that can often take days to perform and am embarrassed to stumble across this option on this forum as I fear I may have cost myself several weeks of my life working the long way round!!!
"Export All tracks as Audio Files" was introduced in version 7.0.
Don't feel too ashamed though. I have a good friend, who has been using Logic daily as long as I have (8 years or so now), who only 3 months ago, saw me utilizing that feature, and his jaw dropped. He too, had been wasting "weeks" of his life, doing it the way you have been doing it. : )
You're gonna absolutely LOVE using that feature from this day forward...!

4 simple questions(I guess) about audio files in FCP X.

Hello,please help me.
1) Is it appropriate to import my audio files from "Music and Sound Browser" tab into FCPX) or its a better idea to arrange all Audio files
what I am going to use in a folder and then import from finder window?
2)Is it possible to drag and drop music tracks from "Music and Sound Browser " tab to Event Browser without put the audio
in sequence?how?
3)How to import a part of a music / soundtrack? (Can I mark in / out BEFORE I drag to timeline)? I mean,set IN / OUT directly from
Music and Sound Browser" tab.
4)How to connect music / sounds what I have in "Music and Sound Browser" tab TO connected clips (NOT to primary story line clips)?
thank you

Actually, you can have music from the Media Browser edit any way you want into a Timeline: either to a Storyline, or be a Connected Clip, or do an Insert Edit. Highlight the song, click the desired Edit button. Keyboard shortcuts don't work for this.
Drag-and-drop any selection for the Media Browser to an Event. It will COPY that audio file into your Event folder, so you'll now have two physical copies. One in iTunes/sound library, one in your Event folder.

Straightening up audio files...

hey there...
just wanted to know if anyone had any other way of straightening up tempos of audio files?...
i know in cubase you can just click "straighten up tempo" and any audio files like vocals etc will automatically go to the tempo that the track is it to...
the way i do it at the minute is highlight the audio file and then click time stretch to markers but i was wondering if there was any other ways to do this similar to the cubase way?...
thanks in advance! : )

How do I export detached audio files as separate files, for Pro Tools processing?

My project is a live band performance. I have every song as a separate Event with associated audio. I have detachd all the audio from all the video Events. I now want to Export the audio files to Pro Tools for editing, then Import the edited audio back into FCP X and snap the edited audio to the associated video Events.
My problem is this: FCP X keeps exporting the audio as a single large WAV file, rather than as separate WAV files. In fact, the video events are separate, and so the audio associated with the video Events are separate.
I first renamed the Role of every audio file as "Music", then did a Share --> Export Media of all "Music" audio Roles. After exporting, I found it was one large WAV file, rather than separate files of different sizes.
As a 2nd try, I created Sub-Roles for each audio clip, and named each one with a distinct Sub-Role name. I then Exported all these Sub-Roles (yes, tedious). The result was that every exported WAV file was the same size, the same as the file size in my first try. The only audio that could be heard in each file was the audio in that particular song, but FCP X still created the very large file with silence in all the rest of the file. Since the file lengths don't match the original audio fil lengths, there will be a problem when I Import the edited files back into FCP X and want to Snap them into place.
Question:
How can I export the individual detached audio clips as separate files, the length of each file equaling the length of the original audio file in FCP X?
Do I need to separate the detached audio into separate Layers visually in the Project Timeline, so they are not touching? Or does this matter?
Help!!

No.
You need to explore Compound Clips. This workflow may or may not be of help.
Select an Event with clips in it and press Option+G to make a (blank) compound clip.
Select the Event Browser, create a new Event and call it 'Effects'.
Drag the Compound Clip into this Event.
Right-click the clip and select 'Open in Timeline'.
Select the timeline and press Option+W. This will add a Gap Clip to the timeline.
Select the gap clip and press Ctrl+D then type in the duration you want the clip to be.
Now open a project and select and copy one of the clips with effects etc.
Open the Compound Clip in the Timeline again, select the gap clip and press Option+Cmd+V to paste the effects into your Compound Clip.
This clip is now saved in your Browser and will remain there for you to copy and then paste the effects into any clip in any project.
It's a bit clunky, but it works - and once you learn about Compound Clips, you can work wonders with them. As an example, if you want to add more effects without overwriting the effects in the Compound Clip, simply make the Compound Clip into a Compound Clip (again) and add the effects. They will be added to the original effects.

How can I tranfer audio files from my iPhone 5 to my laptop?

Is there a way to transfer audio files (not music but an audio recording) from my iPhone 5 to my laptop?

Yes, you will need to connect the phone to the computer and iTunes, and check sync voice memos on the Music tab.

Audio Files Saved as "Podcast" in iTunes - can no longer listen to them on iOS 7!

Just set up my wife's new iPhone 5, and the way podcasts are handled on this new iOS 7 is terrible! This "Podcast App" system Apple has going on won't even see my podcast audio files like the older 4th gen devices did.
Remind me NEVER to upgrade my iphone 4 or my Touch to iOs 7 - where Podcasts resided as a subsection of Music.

Sorry: Meant: Upgrade to iO7 FROM ios 6 or earlier, where Podcasts resided within Music.

Accessing audio file directories more easily

Is there a way to access audio files like foley or music files more easily. Currently I locate files in the finder and drag into the FCP browser window, but would like to have a way to see the various folders in one place. Is this doable, or is there a better way to do this?

Meg The Dog wrote:
Hi =
At the finder level, just use QuickLook.
Select the file. Press the spacebar. If is is an audio file it will play, an image it will display, or a movie it will play as well.
You can use this to sample your files and preselect and screen those you want to drag into the FCP browser.
MtD
Thanks for the feedback. I had hoped there was a way FCP could allow adding folders like Motion's file browser. I know I can add the four or five folders (where I have audio content of interest) to the Finder's Places Sidebar, and sample the audio as you said, but hoped there was a way to do this from within FCP file browser, or access via a right mouse click. I am setting up a Macbook as a mobile editing station, so had hoped there was a way to view and select content without having another window (finder) up. It's less cumbersome of a process with a single monitor system.

IWeb and MP3 or audio files

Just got a Mac and looking at the information for iWeb, it talks about text and video, but nothing about audio files, like MP3.
I assume I can upload MP3 files (my own) using iWeb, but just wanted to confirm that before I purchased it. I have my own web page now and would like to redo it with iWeb, but obviously I want to include my original MP3 files in the web page for others to hear and download.
Thanks
Rockhound

iWeb writes page code that will play your MP3 files using the QuickTime browser plug-in.
If you need to use another plug-in or player you'll need to use the special "snippet" code feature.

Lightroom and Audio Files

Does anyone know if Lightroom will play audio files, like PhotoMechanic?
Thanks!

No it doesn't. Unless you mean in slide shows, which it does.

Edit mulitiple audio file?

I'd like to resize multiple audio files like I do in the arrange window,
except to sample accuracy. Not the MIDI resolution of the song.
Is there something I'm missing?
Can Logic do this?

Try doing the edit in Garage Band v10.3 import the file and cut out un-needed sections.
