Quick Audio/Music question

Hey guys, I've recently started to make compilations for YouTube and when I do have all the clips I need for the video uploaded, they already have songs playing. I want to know how to get rid of that audio and then add my own music from my ITunes library.
Thanks in advance!

These Apple video tutorials will also be helpful:
iMovie '09: http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie
iMovie '08: http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/imovie08.html
Many of the iMovie '08 tutorials are also still applicable to '09. Look particularly at the audio tutorials.
In addition to what I"ve described in my first post, you will notice that the tutorials refer to adding background music. Here, you simply drag music into the background area, until the background is filled with music. I find it more manageable to drag over the clips, as it helps when lining up and working with numerous tracks - as you intend - rather than just dragging tracks into the background.
It all comes down to what works best for you.
Bear in mind when using tracks from iTunes - if they are copyright you could strike problems with YouTube rejecting your video, unless you have permission. Check YouTube's rules of use first.
Hope this helps!

  • Audio Music Apps Folder Confusion

    I realize that the Audio Music Apps folder and the User library > Application Support > Logic folders are supposed to be hard linked together, basically pointing to the same folder. but on my installation they are not. Although a couple of the folders are linked within these two folders, for example the Key Commands folder as well as one other folder are linked. But every other folder within these two folders are no longer linked. I have tested this repeatedly.
    How on earth would I go about relinking these two folders? Or does it even matter? I'm getting the feeling that Audio Music Apps folder is the significant folder and User library > Application Support > Logic folder is only there for sake of Logic Pro 9.
    Is this the case? And if not, what should I do about this?
    Please advise. Much appreciated.

  • Quick SAP Script question New Page Print

    Quick SAP Script question
    I have added a new page to an existing SAP Script BUT only want it to print if a condition is true.
    I need to do this from within the form as the print program is SAP Std.
    Any idea how I can prevent the new page from printing?
    i.e. I need the form NOT to call the new page if the condition is false. Is there a way of forcing an exit or stop from with in the form?

    Hi,
    To trigger a new page, there is script ediotr command NEW-PAGE.
    so find where is that command is triggered and use the below code for trigger it on any specific condition....
    if &condition& = 'True'
    /*  NEW-PAGE
    elseif
    /: NEW-PAGE   
    endif
    so it means if condition is satisfied your new page will not work.. else it will...
    Hope you got it...
    Try this..
    Best luck..

  • "Audio Music Apps" Folder

    I recently upgraded to Logic Pro 10.0.7, I migrated from Logic Pro 9 before and have used Logic X ever since it came out.
    If I try to load a Channel Strip Setting in the Mixer view, the menu is now completely empty, with all the Logic and Garage Band settings in a "Old Versions" subfolder. After doing some research I found out there are now three locations where settings are saved:
    /Library/Application Support/Logic/
    ~/Library/Application Support/Logic/
    ~/Music/Audio Music Apps/
    Saving new Channel Strip Settings defaults to folder 3. Content in folder 1 seems to appear in the "old versions" menu within Logic.
    Is there any documentation about these folders and how they're used by Logic? Is it save to move my content to the "Audio Music Apps" folder, so that my settings appear at the top level menu again? Is it save to delete folders 1 and 2?
    I'm currently on OS X 10.9.4, Late 2013 Retina MBP (2.6 GHz, 8 GB RAM)

    First of all, DON'T DELETE FOLDER 1. This is a system folder that you should not touch.
    Folder 2. and 3. are technically the same folder. They are pointing to the same files/folder on the hard drive. Try this: have bothe windows open and move a file into the Patches folder in one window. It will appear also on the other folder. Move a file into the Drummer folder. It will appear in the other folder too.
    Leave Folder 2. It is just for compatibility reasons for Logic 9. If you delete it, the files would still be in the "Audio Music Apps", but you would have no access to them from Logic 9.
    Everything you do in LPX, GarageBand X and MainStage happens in the same "Audio Music Apps". They all access now the same folder. This makes file management so much easier for the three apps because they don't need their separate Library directory anymore.
    I explain that ned concept throughout in great details throughout my manual "Logic Pro X - How it Works". Here is just a screenshot from the Library chapter that discusses all those different settings files (Patch, Channel Strip Settings, Plugin Settings, EXS Instrument)
    Hope that helps

  • Problems with exporting audio music video to QuickTime

    In iMovie I made this audio music video, combining music with photos and audiovisual clips. In iMovie I muted the original sounds of the photos and audiovisual clips. Yet after exporting the audio music video to QuickTime, parts of the original soundtrack can still be heard, some of it in the right place, some are scattered out at random. I have exported audio music videos from iMovie to QuickTime before - consisting of music and audiovisual clips - and then I had not theses issues. Can somebody explain to me what I can do to mute the original soundtrack in QuickTime? I don't want this original soundtrack to spoil the audio music video when I upload it to Youtube.
    Thanks in advance

    There is a bug in iMovie 09 that produces weird audio artifacts when you use speed changes (fast or slow motion) that do not conform to the preset tick marks of 25%, 50%, 100%, 200%, 400%, 800%, etc.
    If you are using custom speed percentages like 58% or 139%, change them to one of the presets, and that will fix the sound.

  • I have what is hopefully a quick and easy question. I kno...

    I have what is hopefully a quick and easy question. I know almost nothing about this stuff so go easy on me . All I need to do is find out if my DHCP is enabled. I'm having problems with my Xbox 360 and one of the possible problems is this DHCP thing. However I have no idea how to find the settings for my router on my computer. If it helps I have a Wirless model BEFW11S4. Thanks in advance for any help.

    You need to access your router to check if the DHCP is on.  To access the router open your browser and type in http://192.168.1.1 into the address field and hit enter.  That should open the routers log on screen and by default the user is left blank (some routers it is admin) and the password is abmin.  If you changed your routers password as you should for security reasons then use that password.  That will bring you to your routers user interface and on the main set up page should be your DHCP.

  • I cannot send video (via airplay) to apple tv. sound (audio music) only does works.

    I have had my whole system working perfectly before, so this is a puzzle to me, unless it was some update?
    When I 'send' audio music only to apple tv from PC it plays perfectly. But when I attempt to send video from itunes on pc, I get error message on apple tv. When I 'send' video OR music from iphone nothing works. When I 'send' video from ipad nothing works (did not test music on ipad)  Also, my "remote" software not connecting either anymore to apple tv. From apple tv side, everything works, connected to itunes and my library and everything works fine.
    I have a single home (local) network with Apple TV connected via ethernet cable. not sure if RIP was helping or hindering but it is off. My iTunes is on PC (ver 11.02.26). On my Apple TV, airplay is ON. Homesharing is on. all devices on same homesharing. I have done updates on everything, reset everything, rebooted everything, kicked everything, unplugged and plugged everything back together again.
    but still no joy...

    No, do not have micro usb cable. if it is a big deal, I can get, although have restored back to factory settings which 'appeared' to be successful. Although did not solve issue

  • Audio / Music editing software

    Hi folks... does anyone here know of a good (preferrably free) app or piece of software that allows easy editing of audio / music tracks?
    I don't really like the layout of Garageband for this... so thought I'd ask and see if anyone here knows of any little gems out there?

  • Quick audio question......

    For my whole house audio, I've got to use stereo outputs, but I also want to use the fiber optic cable at the same time for 5.1 aTV downloads.
    My question is, will aTV allow me to use both audio outputs at the same time?

    Drum Phil
    I'm not using the stereo (phono) outputs, but I do use both HDMI (to my TV) and optical (to my receiver) at the same time and they both work fine with no apparent override.

  • Beginner Audio post question - stereo music recording

    In a normal recording session, each instrument is recorded separately. So, i imagine all the effects and processes are designed for single-instrument tracks. How do you handle it when an entire band is recorded onto a single stereo track? Are any of the effects made for that purpose? What typical operations and rules apply? Is there some guide available and is it possible to, for example, boost certain instruments leaving the others alone?

    This is getting slightly away from Audition but...
    Mic placement depends quite a lot on the style of music and location....and, of course, the types of mics available to you.  Without knowing what you're doing exactly it's hard to be specific, but I'd suggest you Google "coincident pair" and "spaced omni".  Between those two (and variations you'll find when Googling) you'll cover a lot of options!
    Then you put the mics in one pair and a mixer feed in the other and combine them later.
    You mention the "house board" so it's likely safe to assume that we're talking something amplified.  Being frank, this is difficult to do a good job on with a simple stereo technique.
    I'm often the guy running the "house board" (well, theatre board in my case) and I can sort of explain why the feeds you get don't sound right when recorded.  The mix being done for Front of House is designed to be heard in situ.  Instruments that are loud by themselves (drums for example, or guitar if the guy has a big amp and multi speaker cabinet) are generally kept very low in the mix.  Quieter things (vocals, electronic keyboards, etc.) are turned up in the mix to do battle with the drums and electric guitar.  This can sound okay live, but gives a very uneven sound when you hear JUST the recording.
    Depending how cooperative the FOH guy is, there might be things you can play with, even with your limited tracks.  If he has spare aux outputs (and everything is run through the board) it's possible to do a passable mix using pre-fade auxes.  This lets you tweak things to a rough balance even if you can't ride levels constantly through the set.  If there are even more auxes available, I'd think of splitting things up a bit:  maybe vocals in one track, drum kit (mixed) in another, guitars in the third and keyboards in the last  That's obviously just an example since I don't know what you're recording!  Obviously, this takes a lot of cooperation from the guy mixing--so if you get a lazy grumpy old git like me, you're in trouble!.
    Having said all that, you have to manage your expectations a bit.  A quick and dirty recording using any of the techniques above is never going to sound like (or give you the mix options of) recording 30 or 40 totally separate tracks and spending days on the mix later.  However, some okay results are possible.

  • Streamlining win XP pro for music question

    Hello guys and gals I will soon be buying the EMU 1212M card and I have a spare 160Gb drive which I will partition so my question is as per topic but I would need some links to places that shows you how to streamline or disable the crap in windows that you don't need. My system isn't as new as I would like can't afford the upgrade at this point.
    My core system:
    CPU: P4 800Mhz HT
    RAM: 2x512Mb PC3200 matched pairs + 2x512Mb PC3200 matched pairs (2Gb total)
    Hard Drive: SATA 160Gb Samsung think it's 2Mb buffer (this will be the music drive I might change that to a faster model soon)
    What I propose to do is as I have already a games machine and thus don't want to mess with this setup is the drive on my shelf to be put in the case but only used for audio, the drive will not be connected all the time what I mean is if I want to do music then I would unplug (before switching the pc on ofcourse ) the gaming drive SATA cable and plug it into the Music drive and use it this way, makes it a lot tidier as there aill be no internet files or other crap just music stuff and a word processor for lyrics, I know this might sound weird but this is the way I want it done.
    Thanks for advice.
    P.S. Is there any problems with 1212M card and Audigy Platinum running in the same machine, one more thing anyone used this midi controller keyboard: http://www.dv247.com/invt/32487/ been reading some good reviews on it.

    Bob,
    Thanks for the quick reply.  So, if I understand your comments correctly, each of the CS4 apps will run with 2GB of ram and Photoshop is the only one that runs in 64 bit if I were to install Win 7.  I won't be running multiple apps but plan to install 12 GB of ram to get some more robust performance out of some apps and try to avoid "out of memory" issues when working with large files. 
    For example, I scan drawings in TIFF format for archiving and then open them in Photoshop to convert to jpg for modification.  These color scanned images are many times 36 x 48 plans @ 200 dpi and generally range from 1GB to 1.5GB in size.  Oftentimes if they are in TIFF format I can't do a save as because of an out of memory alert.
    Thanks again.

  • ICloud Music Question

    Hi. I got a question about purchasing music with iCloud with my setup.
    1. My iTunes library is on a 2006 32 bit Mac Mini, hooked up to a HDTV and surround sound. I can't run Lion, so I can't connect the mini to the cloud.
    2. I have an iPod Touch, MacBook, and iPad that can connect to the cloud
    3.  I can upload my music up to the cloud using my MacBook
    My question is about updating the Mac Mini with new purchases.  Can use my iPad to buy music from iTunes(so that it would be up in the cloud), then transfer the music from my iPad to the Mac mini using the cable? Would this work? Thanks.

    On the mini, open iTunes store and select "Purchased" at top right under "Quick Limks" and download purchased music.

  • Ridiculously simple audio editing question for Garage Band

    Ok, so this is really a fundamental
    question. It concerns editing technique.
    In analog mixing, the editor put
    the sounds to be saved in the right
    places on each of several tracks --
    narration, sound effects, lip sync,
    music, etc. The tracks were then
    all locked together and the mixer
    adjusted the volumes to either save
    or reject audio information.
    A blank master received the information
    and that was your final product,
    in sync, sprocket by sprocket, with
    the video.
    My question, then, is, how do you
    do it in digital multitrack such as
    Garage Band? Are you aiming to have
    4 or 5 tracks all level controlled
    or do you simple erase unwanted
    sound, or what exactly do you do,
    in post production? If you are going
    to do a voice over, then you have to
    do a mix at some point, not just a
    cut and paste. What's the philosophy,
    if you don't mind my asking?
    Thanks,
    Ed

    Wow... you gave me flashbacks to a movie soundtrack I scored, with separate reels of tape all synced up and whirling away for final mixdown!
    To answer your question as best I can in a paragraph or two, digital mixing is unlimited compared to analog. Whereas tape has a physical limit, you can always add another digital track (there are limitations to digital, but they are becoming harder to reach as systems become increasingly powerful). So no need to erase. Editing is also a breeze. Digital tracks are endlessly malleable, with virtually every parameter available for automation.
    Sometimes you might mix down to stems or mix everything down to a stereo master (or alternative mixes) for post production. Similarly, in post, they can deal with huge numbers of digital tracks from different sources.
    In terms of a professional workflow, Logic is the more typical choice over Garageband, and includes a number of features designed for scoring to picture: variable sample rates, frame rates, etc.
    Gain staging in digital recording is different than in analog, and it requires a different approach to achieve excellent sounding results. But the digital workflow is so much more flexible, forgiving, and economical, that it has been the death-knell for the analog workflow. Infinite bussing, routing, mixing, comping, storing, stemming... infinite possibilities, really!

  • Audio Editing Questions In Final Cut Studio 2

    Hi,
    Thank you all again for being here!, I have some quick questions about working with audio in fcp 6.02, and Soundtrack. first of all I am wondering if its easier and quicker just to work in fcp with audio, or export to Sound Track Pro? I have a wedding I shot and I had my cam recording 2 different source of audio, one from a balcony, and the other on the floor with different sounds to them. What is the best method to get them to sound nearly the same? In Fcp apply a "Normalization Gain"? I am new to audio editing, and somewhat with FCS, in general. Also in the timeline how can I get all audio clips in sync with the same volume? I was amazed with Soundtrack Pro's ability to take out ambient back ground noise and inference any other trick to get rid on unwanted inferences? Your Idea and experience are invaluable!!!
    Thank You All Again, Tim C.

    The reason you may not have gotten replies to your "quick questions" is because there are no quick answers. It is certainly easiest to just do the audio in FCP rather than export to STP. If your needs are simple just stay with FCP. However, you mention specialized tasks that STP can do but FCP can't. I am grappling with these same issues. I am a Logic Pro user and it gets very confusing about what tool to use when.
    My main message to you is that I just purchased the Apple Pro Training book FCP 6 Beyond the basics and there are 90 pages in two lessons devoted to exactly what you are interested in. I bought it just yesterday and it has already helped me in a number of areas.
    Good luck.
