Processing audio clips separately (like Cubase)

So, you have 2 kick drums for example (audio) in a track; you time stretch one but both change
Can you set up the program so it treats every audio clip separately like Cubase does automatically?

Hmmm ... honestly .... I am running out of ideas ...
Can I ask:
1. did you get both their starting point correct ?
2. Are the duration of both the video clips & audio clips you are trying to sync the same length ? That is, if the audio is 10 secs, then is the video also 10 secs ?
Thanks
Hey -
1. Yes, I'm certain that I matched up the in points correctly while making the edits. In the audio tracks, I zoomed in all the way so I could get sub-frame position - as described starting on pg 474 of the manual. At that point, they are in perfect sync. And as you get further away from that matched point in the sequence, the drift gets worse.
2. The length of the audio that was recorded on the cameras is exactly the same length as the video (of course). The audio clips recorded on the R16 are all exactly the same length as each other as well.
However the R16 clips are not the same length as the video clips, and the two videos are not the same length as each other. They are a few seconds different from each other, because of the way I start the recording - I step onto the stage and before we start playing, I use the infrared remote to start the recording on each of the cameras one at a time, and then I start the recording on the R16.
I don't actually know how exact clip lengths from separate recording sources could be achieved, and since I'm editing them in separately, I think it shouldn't make a different. The keyword being "shouldn't", of course. In any case, if you extend the clips all the way out to play all the available media in the track (using up all the handles), the extents of the clips in the tracks appear a few seconds different from each other, as they should.
Thanks for your suggestions, I'll keep trying to come up with something. Feel free to suggest other things you think of, I do appreciate your time and help.
I have run out of ideas ... Anyone here can help ?

  • How to paste audio clips more precisely?????

    Im just getting to know my brand new Logic Studio. Im working on a track just to try to get to know my new Logic.
    So in trying to paste Audio clips on a certain point, it wont allow me to get it bang on where desired point. Its always
    a little off.  For example Im trying to copy and paste the first verse to build the 2nd verse. I dragged the bar to the deseired
    point which is 20 1 1 1. When I paste in my region or audio clip its like 21 4 4 239.  After this I notice I try enlarge the screen
    to make it more precise and as I drag it the Audio clip goes past it or before it a little out of time.
    Maybe its something to do with the audio clips themselves Im not sure but this never happened to me in Logic Express...
    Thanks guys

    You know, the funny thing might be to pull them into a single track in FCP and Dona remove gaps.
    You could try:
    Using the browser in STP to list all the files in order. I'm on the road so I can't test this, but what happens if you select them and drag and drop to a single track in multitrack mode?
    And how about: in the browser select the next clip, right click and do spot to playhead? If you've jumped to the end of the file in the track it will butt next next one against it.
    So a could things to fool with.

  • How to send FCP edited audio clips for processing in Soundtrack?

    Hello
    How do I send just the edited audio clips from hour long files to be processed in Soundtrack from Final Cut?
    I need help as I'm trying to adjust some edited audio clips in Soundtrack Pro but when I send them from FCP to Soundtrack - it opens the whole original audio file and then any adjustments I apply in Soundtrack are being processed over the whole audio file not just the short edited audio clip that I want to adjust.
    Normally I don't mind as my scenes are usually short and Soundtrack analysis over the whole scenes audio is usually desirable, but this projects files have been transfered from tapes as hour long AVI files (all the tapes clips transfered into one hour long files) and every FCP edited audio clip I send is being treated as an hour long audio file in Soundtrack.
    I'm sure there's a simple answer for settings but I haven't been able to find it.  Any advice appreciated.
    Barra

    Thanks Javi, my sequence is an hour and half duration so what I'm trying to do is save processing time in Soundtrack by just processing adjustments on the few audio clips that need processing.
    I have set Soundtrack to open referenced audio only and with 5 sec in and out handles, but it still imports the whole original audio file into Soundtrack timeline upto the selected clip, I then double click in Soundtrack on the clip in brackets, and it then selects just the audio clip I want to adjust, then Soundtrack will just process on the edited clip but when I 'render to action' it seems to apply changes to whole original audio file - taking longer than I want.... frustrating
    Also the sound always sounds very different in FCP than Soundtrack even after 'rendering to action' and rendering in FCP... this is not the easy workflow I expect from such expensive software programs, I understood that they work together in a fully integrated way, what's the problem! This is wasting my precious time and preventing me from editing not helping me, this is a common problem and yet I can find no help in the user manual - I'm not impressed!

  • Why does Premiere Pro CS5 process audio source before exporting clip in AME CS5?

    Hello everyone, my first post here. I am currently trying out the trial CS5 Master Collection on my MacBook Pro. I've been using Premiere Pro CS5 to put together family videos. I select a certain portion of a sequence and queue it for export in Media Encoder CS5 in the format H.264 for iPod with video and audio.
    Now in AME I have a queue list of about 5 clips from the sequence. But when I hit the Start Queue button, the bottom left of the progress bar states "Adobe Premiere Pro processing audio source from [then file name]"  for all 5 clips from the sequence then creates the first output file.
    Then it moves to encode the second and again states "Adobe Premiere Pro processing audio source from [then file name]"  for all 5 clips of mt sequence then spits out only the second output file.
    This continues for the remaining 3 output files. The total sequence length is ~32 minutes with transitions and it takes about 35 minutes to export which is all consumed by the process audio source of the 5 clips in my sequence for 5 separate times.
    Is there a certain reason why Media Encoder or Premiere Pro does this process of audio source? Is this process necessary or needed? I experimented with choosing different output formats but the results are the same. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Now that's pretty good follow-up to your first post, and quickly too! Nice detective work.
    As you have found, there is basically a Render/Replace operation going on in PrPro, to get the material in the correct form for AME.
    Thank you for reporting, as it saved me, and others, from basically saying what you said.
    Good luck, and sorry that you beat us to the punch.

  • Why doesn't iPhone store audio clips that you download from say whatapp like it does with photos and videos?

    Why doesn't iPhone store audio clips that you download from say whatapp like it does with pictures and video?

    Because you can't add content, to any iPhone, that way. Done by design.

  • Aim trying to put 2 audio clips together and you can hear the unnatural break. Is there a transition I can insert to cover it. Kind if like we do with video?

    aim trying to put 2 audio clips together and you can hear the unnatural break. Is there a transition I can insert to cover it up. Kind of like we do with video clips? Like an overlay? Thank you

    You could put the two clips on two different tracks with a slide overlap and fade the first clip out out and the second clip in.
    Or trim both clips in a way, that the first clip ens with silence and the second clip starts with silence.

  • Encoding just a part of a long sequence - ALL audio clips are processed ?!?

    I have a 60 minutes sequence - among other stuff, it has about 30 audio clips.
    When I define my work area to be - let's say 45 secs and _Export_Media to AME, all audio clips from the source sequence are processed, what is  time-consuming and boring.
    Is there a way to avoid this ?

    Yup.

  • How do I get this audio clip to stop processing

    I am wondering how to get this AudioClip to end. Even though it stops after 4 iterations from the for loop in main my application continues running until I hit ctrl-c. I don't want to use System.exit( 0 ) because other applications will be running and I don't want to shut them down. For now just the basics, getting this process to quit on its own. I figured I would have to close the file with file.close( ), but no luck. Help would be appreciated thank you.

              ps.stopNoise( );
    }     

    No it doesn't -- thanks for the reply though.
    The process keeps running even after it is done playing the wav file. I hear no sound but the process must still be running if I does not come to an end.
    IT WON"T STOP. PLEASE MAKE IT STOP.
    ex> when you run a "hello world" program the program runs and prints "hello world" then brings you back to the command line.
    In my program, the program runs and then just sits there -- never bringing me back to the command line. I am wondering how to do that without System.exit( 0 ). Because when I use a GUI and use eventHandlers it still will not stop processing.
    Try running this program with a short wave (.wav) file and you'll see what I mean.
    Thank you.

  • How do I break a stereo audio clip to get the left and right separately

    $subject really. If I break apart a stereo audio clip I just get track 1, I can't get track 2.
    Thanks

    I tried that, but I keep getting "Unsupported Clip" in the channel configuration audio tab of the Inspector.
    Here's my workflow:
    Import Flip cam's h.264/AAC MP4 files
    Edit a clip into a project.
    Break apart the clip, to give separate video and audio segments
    The green audio segment (will have -a1 after the name in the segment) will be say it's an "Unsupported Clip" in the channel configuration audio tab of the Inspector.
    If I change the original clip to dual mono before I break apart I get two mono clips, which is what I was after (but then I could just disable one of the dual mono tracks without splitting apart if that was all I wanted).
    I suggest that getting an "Unsupported Clip" when I break apart these clips is a bug.

  • How can I match sound quality between video clips and audio clips?

    Hi guys,
    First of all let me say that I enjoy using the latest Media Encoder. However, as a novice, I have two related problems.
    1.I am recording video to use with PowerPoint slides in Adobe Captivate. I am encoding the video with best quality FLV. This produces very good video,
          but with a degraded audio track, even though I had filtered the audio in soundbooth. The post encoding sounds like it did before Soundbooth corrections.
    2. Some of the video recording has been set cut into audio clips to be used as background narration behind PowerPoint. The logic behind this is: that if both are
          recorded at the same time, the voice quality should match.
    This is far from the outcome. I have tried MP3 for the audio which of course produced the best sound- but is entirely unlike the rest of the video. I have also encoded the audio with Windows Waveform preset figuring that since the soundbooth edit was a .wav file, that there should be a reasonable match. Wrong again!
    So, the audio quality of all clips is poor, and the difference between the encoded video clips, and the audio encoded clips spoils the otherwise professional result in Captivate.
    Please help, all of you experts.

    Thank you.
    OS Windows 7 x 64; 3.2 MHz; 2 TB; 12 GB Ram-9GB ram allocated to Adobe.
    My process is this:
    1. The whole video and audio narration material is shot in one continuous video sesseion.
    2. The microphone is only mono, but the camera is set to stereo. Noone can work out how to change the camera to mono.
    3. In Premiere Pro 5, I select render and replace in SoundBooth.
    4. In Soundbooth, I choose Add Multichannels.
    5. In Multichannels, I delete the unwanted noisy channel, and any other unused channels.
    6. With the remaining mono channel, I then select Export and Save As option, then Stereo.
    7. Next I edit the stereo channels as needed.
    8. The imported stereo won't automatically update in Premiere Pro, so in PPR I import the new edited stereo track.
    9. I test this track in PPR, to check that it is playing R & L channels. It is. OK.
    10 On the timeline, I proceed to cut apart this single stereo wavelength .
    11.These clips are saved as Video, or Audio subclips.
    12 From the video subclips, I export to Media Encoder, and choose either FLV4 match attributes (High Q). This I modify to custom 2 pass (Custom save).
         The summary says that this is saved to MP3 Stereo.
    13. I import this into Captivate 5, but the Video outcome is Left channel only. I have tested this on Media Player/Real Player where it is also L channel only.
    14. I export my Audio subclips to Media player, and select MP3 option and this summary also reports stereo. The Audio outcome is stereo, when played in any player and in Captivate 5.
    I cannot understand how a single, continuous track edited uniformly in Soundbooth to stereo, can produce different outcomes in Media player.
    I would so appreciate a solution to this problem, because, in the Captivate 5 e-learning production, the switch between stereo audio (behind PowerPoints), and l. channel video is distracting. Naturally, the l. channel only is a thin sound. It is as if it had never been edited in SoundBooth at all.

  • How to delete the transparent frames that Pluraleyes adds to replaced audio clips in an event ?

    Hi there,
    I have a workflow issue working with Pluraleyes 3 and FCPX.
    MY CONTEXT
    So I imported all my clips into FCPX (about 300 from camera 1, about 300 from camera 2 and separate audio which ran almost with only very few interruptions on set).
    I synced everything with PE which gives me back the following :
    1. a new Event with replaced audio clips.
    2. a new Event with one giant multicam clip.
    3. a new project completely synced BUT with the non-replaced audio clips
    MY PROBLEMS
    1. Problem is that the clips have additional transparent frames before and after their actual video (i.e. PE makes new clips from video and longer bits of audio that do not begin/end at the same time).
    2. The giant multicam clip has plenty of chunks where audio was recorded but where no video was.
    MY QUESTIONS
    PE has created plenty of useless clip lengths. How can I get rid of them with some batch process ?
    OR if I say that another way
    How can I create an EVENT that contains clips with the exact same length as the originals, only with the corresponding audio replaced ? (Please remind that I have LOTS of clips)
    Moreover, the clips within the new events created by PE have (not surprisingly) lost all keywords I gave to the clips before syncing with PE. Is there any way to fix this ?
    Thank you so much because it feels like PE's job is kinda useless  :-/

  • How do I stop background audio clips from playing while browsing sites?

    Firefox is my default browser. I use Google chrome and Internet explorer sessions for background monitoring news site sessions at the same time. I have no problem with the other two browsers. While surfing with Firefox I get unwanted background audio clips that start and run by themselves. I cannot stop them. They run and then stop by their self. They are some sort of adware and I cannot find the source to remove them. I also get video clips sometimes that I can stop that run around the outside of the active window I am viewing. These is very annoying. I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled it but the problem does not go away. I antivirus software, registry change protection software, and registry cleaning software. The problem is with the default browser.
    How can I locate and remove the plugin, addin or service that starts this annoying activity. I have no special unwanted toolbars installed. There is nothing in the installed programs list in the control that shouldn't be there.

    I had a similar problem to this. EVERYTIME i started firefox, it would play an audio clip from a flash game i played a while ago, it would last 5 minutes before finishing. i tried the starting in safe mode, but that didn't work for me, so after that i then tried RESETTING firefox, and that has worked for me.
    On another side of startup problems, firefox would also open up a new tab on startup, usually 22find.com or do-search.com. i know these are caused by a virus and have since deleted it, but it had changed a preference file in firefox causing it to continue to open on startup.
    Having since done the firefox reset, i haven't had either of these problems AT ALL! would recommend this as a possible fix for you friend before trying any lengthy troubleshooting process or downloading any extra anti-virus removal software.
    here's the like to showing you how to reset firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems

  • Stereo Audio Treated Separately, How Do I Link?

    I recently migrated from FCE to FCP. I love FCP, but there's one difference that's bugging me. In FCE, when you selected and manipulated a stereo audio track, each channel was linked, so when you changed the db level or applied a pen point to one track, the same would be done to the other. In FCP each audio channel is treated separately, so I'd have to repeat the same process for both channels. Is there an option or hotkey to make each audio channel linked like in FCE?

    You can also use command/apple L to link/unlink the stereo pairs or individual audio tracks to video.

  • How do you change the speed of a detached audio clip?

    I have a piece of detached audio.  Video Frame rate is 23.98.  The piece of Video above it is Video Frame Rate 24.
    How do I change the speed of this detached audio clip?

    Nope, the Automatic Speed did not work.  I exported the XML, and then ran it through X2Pro to try and get my AAF, and it still spits out conform warnings/errors on those same spots.  Automatic Speed apparently did nothing helpful to my situation.  (Can Anyone explain Automatic Speed?)
    Will have to try going through Cinema Tools per the similar issues noted in this conversation: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/344/28007
    Curious to see what FCPX would do with this media, importing the 24p file to a 25 Project cause a noticeable shift in both time and pitch.
    I imported the time coded audio separately, and played it against the obviously speed and pitched changed video with embedded audio. The files did not sync.
    The audio remained in time and pitch, while the video didn't. So the audio tc doesn't seem to effect playback in FCPX, but video definitely does, and it seems rather buggy.
    So, if your video is 24.0 and your audio is 23.98 and you are in a 23.98 timeline, FCPX might be changing the speed of the video without really reporting it. Resetting speed doesn't do anything, hitting "automatic speed" screws it up a bit more (it goes the wrong way). Changing the speed to something like 96% (FCPX reports 96% but I know it's really ((24000/1001)/25) which is just short of 96%. Turning off the "preserve pitch" checkbox actually pitched the audio back to normal.
    I didn't create the 24.0 vs 23.9 media that you have, but perhaps you are having similar issues, or a different combination/permutation therein.
    But to answer your question, the time coded audio was not changed, only embedded audio.
    and
    But here some notes which makes things hopefully clearer.
    Resampling and changing playback speed are two totally different things.
    Samplerate for audio is the same as fps for video (not dpi for video) so let's call it sps.
    You can record audio at any sampling rate. But let's take 48 kHz and 32 kHz here.
    Record 60 seconds. Once recorded both files as stand alone files will play 60 seconds.
    But forced to play back in a NLE timeline with a fixed sps of 48 the first file will playback correctly. The second one will play at 2/3 of the time (32/48). The other way round the 48 sps file will play longer in a 32 sps timeline.
    Now for those poor guys who have to work with NTSC:
    A real world second is not a second in NTSC video world. Its 1001/1000 seconds.
    So selecting a 48k sps audio preset in a timeline preset means that a real world audio of 60 seconds is only 1000/1001x60. That means that those 60 seconds are only 59.94 seconds long. Its too short.
    One way - if you stay strictly in NTSC - is to record audio with 48048 Hz. This way a real world 1 second audio will match a 1 second NTSC video.
    Next option with BWAVE files is to change the playback settings in the BEXT header of the file. This won't resample the file!!!
    Now about the TC. BWAVE doesn't have a TC in a way you're used when handling video. It has a timestamp in the header. This timestamp contains the Samples after Midnight. Based on that the NLE will convert this to TC which can be displayed. So in NTSC world this might give a wrong interpretation.
    For example if you have a "Start TC" of 00:10:00:00 (thats what you see on your audio recorder) it means that using 48kHz the timestamp is at 600x48,000 = 28,800,000 samples. Since the real sampling rate in the timeline though is 48048 Hz you have to divide the source stamp by this number. This results in 9.99000999000999 minutes. So for a 23.976 fps project this is a TC of 00:09:59:10.
    So setting the Bext header and/or iXML chunk to the correct playback speed will keep everything intact. Again this is without resampling!
    Using an AIFF there aren't these options.
    So you can edit all the stuff without resampling when using BWAVE. But resampling will happen when you export a final movie.
