Ripping LPs into individual tracks in same format as the

I had a 20gb Zen and loaded all my CDs - fantastic, I love the "random" option, Beethoven followed by The Beatles followed by ACDC etc. So I bought a 60gbZen extra so I could load all my old LPs as well! I bought a USB Soundblaster and connected the turntable to it to my Acer laptop - a-ripping I will go.
I am using Roxio CD Creator 5 and can now get the LP to the laptop and then to the Zen ........BUT I can only record one side of the LP at a time so it finishes in 2 parts on the Zen and I can't record it as separate tracks in the format that CD tracks appear on the Zen. So ...... can anyone help with advice on how to do it's
How can I rip the LP directly into tracks so I can enjoy the "random" feature again?
Or, if not, at least how can I rip an LP into one file so I can play it without a break?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for those replies, I found another called Polderbits (out of Holland) and it is truly user friendly and I am now working through my LPs. It's a slow process though as you can only record at real speed so it means playing every LP in full and then typing in all the names of the tracks ....but I'm getting there!

ITunes 7 has split my albums up into individual tracks in cover view!

In the two new views in itunes 7 many of my albums have been split up into individual tracks. Is there anything I can do to 'consolidate' them back?
Power Book Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi there, I have the same problem, Albums I've imported from CD and albums I've bought through itunes now display as separate tracks in both views with album art. Also in list view if I click on an album all its tracks are now not in the correct album order but mixed up, so if I use the album view im left with 10 album covers for the same album with 1 track per cover and in list view everything is all mixed up. I wish I'd never upgraded from itunes 6 as this is now a complete mess and almost unusable with 300 albums of music "WELL DONE APPLE" as a 12 year mac user Im starting to feel like im back using windows 3.1 again

QuickTime Player 10.1 no more includes the ability to save a movie file in the same format as the original movie after editing it? No, it doesn't!

Since upgraded to Lion, I have to wait for QuickTime Player 10.1 to "CONVERT" every file that I edited in it.
Yes, it might save some disk space for me.(Which is not always the case though.) But it also takes almost 10 times or more as it did when back on Snow Leopard with QuickTime Player 10.0 there I could save any file in the same format as the original movie WITH NO NEED TO CONVERT IT.
Now I have to wait like 10 minutes to delete just a few frames.(The time it takes depends upon the original size of that movie. The larger the longer.) And guess what? If you have two clips originally split up from a movie and sperately getting saved(converted actually) with a loooooooot of time, and you naively added one of them to the other's end and then saved the finished one. It converts AGAIN! Doing so back on Snow Leopard with QuickTime Player 10.0 only takes you even a few seconds only!
Seriously, are we eating Apple or dirt this time?

My existing movies are all the following types straight from FinalCut
Apple Intermediate Codec, 1920 × 1080, Millions
16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
This particular movie is 6.66 Gb
The new Quicktime player in OS Mavericks converts these to the following format:
Apple ProRes 422, 1920 x 1080
Linear PCM, 16 bit little-endian signed integer, 2 channels, 48000 Hz
And a movie size of 6.48 Gb
It seems obvious from other forum posts this is a planned move so that everything is the "new mobile device" ready state/format. To use Marc Speth's post as material....
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23749558#23749558
this is probably about dumbing down desk top OS to that pf iPhones and iPads. This is not what I paid good money to own a Mac Book Pro for....
Today I rolled all the back to Snow Leopard. Really good move...... All those new features hey? I lost the ability to work in spaces and of course the whole Quicktime debacle.
The rolling back process was easy, restored from a point prior to installing Lion and Mavericks and the only issue was my iPhoto libraries. Thank my stars that I still had back ups that I had not converted yet.... viva la Mavericks...NOT. Apple can keep it.
Unsure if you are just venting or if there is supposed to be a question here. Basically, I assumed this to be Apple's idea of an improvement. That is, I really believe the ProRes 422 codec is a better intermediate codec than the AIC codec but most of my old HDV camcorder family tapes were imported by iMovie (for compatibility with my wife's non-FCP computer configuration) and, like your content, is/remains stored as AIC/PCM MOV files. At first I thought this might be a generalized change affecting all QT X based apps but when I went to check the latest iMovie v10.0 update, became confused when I noted that AIC source files were not automatically updated to ProRes 422 and continue to play natively in the iMovie source media viewer.
I guess this is supposed to be a logical evoluption and we were supposed to have seen the "handwriting on the wall" dating back to when Apple's first released the free ProRess "player" ProRes 422 codec. Still, it would have been nice if Apple had given some warning during the last few years so users could plan and prepare for such a drastic change. For the moment, I am just thankful that AIC remains, at least temporarily, supported nativelyby the iMovie video editor under Mavericks. Thank goodness for small favors.

It seems that I have solved my issue by performing a full factory reset (erasing all content, something which I had hoped to avoid) restoring from an iCloud backup did not alleviate the issue, I had to set up as a new iPad.
Hopefully anyone else else who has this issue in the future will be able to find this.

Can I split an "iTunes LP" into individual tracks?

Hi there,
Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere but I've been looking for over an hour and can't find anything that helps.
I recently purchased the song "Where Are We Now" by David Bowie in order to register my pre-order for the album "The Next Day" which came out a couple of weeks ago. I didn't realise it was an iTunes LP and now I am stuck with two problems.
1) I can't insert the original track I purchased into the main album so I have two entries on my iTunes library, one containing one song and one containing the rest of the album
2) I can't split the iTunes album into separate tracks and it's driving me nuts.
If I have to play the album as a whole and not be able to cherry-pick tracks from it then okay, I guess I can live with that. But with track five as a stand-alone it means I have to listen to the rest of the album and then go back and listen to track five separately? This can't be right.
I've not come across iTunes albums before and they SUCK if this is what I have to put up with, and I'm certainly not buying the album again via individual songs because that'll cost me over £20.
I hope someone can help, because I'm extremely annoyed. I can't even burn the thing onto a CD and then re-import it because I can't insert track five into the album where it should be.
Thanks,
Bee.
iTunes 11 for Windows; iPad 3rd gen, iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.3

Okay, panic over, there was one step I didn't complete and now I've done it, it's worked fine.
I shouldn't be allowed nice things.
As you were.

Why can't i export my track in mp3 format in the latest garageband

it seems so fundamental that having created a great track in garageband it should be easy to export it in mp3 format but the new version doesn't think it worthwhile to make it that easy.........after contacting apple support i was told to install some kind of file converter to get over this problem but it shouldn't be a problem in the first place.......as i say.....its basic and fundamental...............i managed to find a way round it by dropping my song into ITunes and converting from there but its such a convoluted way of doing such a simple operation............has anyone else found this problem.........has anyone found a way of exporting in mp3 thats easier than going through ITunes ?

They dropped this feature.

Music Match thinks tracks with same title are the same track

When I try to sync: if I choose skip duplicate tracks, it doesn't transfer the new track (it thinks it's the same as an existing track because it has the same name). If I choose over-write duplicate tracks, it over-writes the other track (which has the same title) with the one I'm transferring over ...!!!

This is an issue with the Touch, and who knows if Apple will ever fix it?
What you'll have to do is rename one or both of the albums, perhaps to "Live (AiC)" and "Live (CZ)".
I had the same problem with two Christmas albums, both called "White Christmas". I was able to get away with renaming one "White Christmas" (using two spaces). That, of course, doesn't work with a one-word name, as in your case.

How to seperate Toggle takes into individual tracks

Hallo Hallo,
I was recording some vox for a pop track 2 days ago. I got carried away laying down high harmonies & rather than using toggle correctly, I did 3 takes higher, 3 takes mid and one as an Ad Lib big vocal. So on this rare occasion, I like all takes, I want them all because they aren't the same vocal repeated. Used correctly this wouldn't be an issue, but as the takes I did were all different. How do I use isolate them all as separate takes so I can paste them onto different audio channels. Is this possible? Hope you can help. Im on a dead line with the label who like it so Id love to get this sorted quickly.
Hope this makes sense.
Thank you in advance for any tips guys.

Hi
Use the Unpack to New Tracks function within the Take Folder drop down menu?
CCT

Relatively new to Logic Pro. When I'm trying to punch/record into a track, I can't hear the previous existing track until I'm recording. But, it plays back fine. I'd just like to hear before the punch in. Help? Sounds like a preference thing.

Logic Pro 9

It sounds like you may have toggled the input monitoring - there's a little button with an 'I' on it on the track header which toggles monitoring between what's been recorded and the actual input on your sound card. If it isn't there, right (or cntrl) click and choose 'Configure Track Header' - you can add it in the selections that appear there.

How to export edited 5D material into same Format

Hello ppl!
Just maybe someone can help me with this one...
I know it is more of Technical side of 5D, but my Q has something to do with it;
As we know, 5D shoots video, compresses it with H.264 codec and saves it in .MOV container!
For EDITING purposes I use ADOBE CS5 (strong working station with CUDA Mercury engine and everything)...
Anyhow, I was just shooting "Making Of" for some Feature film - and what I wanna do is CLEAR FOOTAGE MATERIALS of unnecessary parts - and then export it back to HDD and give it to Film production
But how do I get to export edited material in the same container and with same properties as originally shot footage was????
ADOBE has quite powerful MEDIA ENCODER, but you can't save h.264 file to have .MOV extension!!!
You can choose H.264, but then your file will have [b]*.mp4[/b] extension... -- Further on - will that file be of the same quality as the file I downloaded from my CF-card???
Any ideas about that - or maybe an advice for some other ENCODER???? ----- Just don't suggest MAC cause I can't afford it at the moment!!!!
What I can do is use AVID MEDIA COMPOSER 4 or 5 (also on my Windows workstation) - but since AVID recodes all footage as the first step when importing it, I am not sure it would fullfill my needs!!!!!
Hope someone will know how to handle it!!!!
Cheers!
V:

-You see, the problem is that my Premier, actually my Adobe Media Encoder can't export to any MOV file higher than Standard Def... Why is it so, I don't know, maybe cause my QT isn't PRO???? Do you think that going PRO would help this matter?
No, you don't need QT Pro for export (or import, for that matter). Are you selecting Preset or Video Codec in the Export Settings window? Like this:
Do you have these, or at least most of them?
-- you also mention ProRes and Proxy here as well, but I am stuck with PC - I wonder how are those AVID QT CODECS gonna work with PREMIERE - are they also gonna re-encode the entire material???
The Avid codecs work fine with Premiere on a PC--I use them frequently myself. But, yes--regardless of the codec you use to export these files, they will be transcoded/re-encoded. I just checked with an FCP buddy, and he said that his Canon T2i clips (similar/same format to the 5D) will import directly into FCP, so if that's what you're using on the Mac, you can forgo the transcoding. That said, transcoding to DNxHD (or ProRes) is not going to incur a visual quality hit, though the files will be larger.
- which Format (codec) are the final files gonna be???
H.264! They're the same as the originals, just trimmed to length.
- Thanx for that one! I hope it works on Windows as well, since Windows is my OS - and thnx for coupon code:))))
Well, you use this plug-in on the Mac; it enables you to read NTFS-formatted drives on the Mac. You'd just continue to do what you've always done, and the Mac user would need the plug-in. If you want to read HFS formatted drives on a PC, you can use Paragon HFS for Windows or MacDrive. Either of those will be good for HFS drives on a PC. Of course, you only need one of these drivers; either NTFS on Mac, or HFS on PC.
There was some mention of using Quick Time PRO as only solution here... Do you have any idea what is that all about??? What can be done - editing wise - with QT PRO??? Or is it just bringing up some more Codecs into the game????
I prefer MPEG Streamclip; it does all the editing (well, the editing you need) that QT Pro does, and it doesn't cost anything. I recommend checking that out first before sending Steve Jobs any money

How can you collapse several video tracks into one track?

Hi, I have a stack of five video tracks that make up an identification placard for a speaker. I need to create motion on this, but don't want to have to do it to every track individually. I believe there is a way to incapsulate all five tracks into one track. Does anyone know the method of doing this?
Thanks so much, Bob

Select the tracks and type Option - C, or go to the menu Sequence > Nest Item(s).
That will nest the tracks in to one clip on your timeline. If you need to make changes in the nest, double click on the nested clip in the timeline and it will re-open the tracks that have been nested.

Recording my old LPs into mp3 - is it possible?

I have tested lots of software for PC but I don´t like the interfaces. Do we have software to deal with this in the mac world?

the following post by Zevoneer may prove informative:
One way is to connect your turntable (through the Tape out sockets of your amplifier) to the audio in socket of your computer and record the input. On the computer you'll need audio editing software to capture and edit the resulting long file into individual tracks that can be added to the iTunes Library. There are a number of commercial programs for this (I use Sound Studio for the Mac but there are many other programs).
If want to try out the process first you could try the open source program Audacity which has Linux, Mac and Windows versions at this link: Audacity.
In addition to the software you'll need RCA to 3.5 mm audio plug cables to connect the Tape Out sockets of your amplifier to the audio inputs of your computer. There's a short guide to recording here: How to record from vinyl and cassette to a computer also from the BBC Copying Vinyl Recordings to CD.
You could also have a look at the Griffin iMic which connects to a USB port on your computer rather than audio in and comes with some software of it's own: iMic USB audio interface.

SoundSoap on Individual Tracks?

I am 25 episodes into a weekly podcast. Having gotten past the technical hurdles I am looking to better the quality of the audio. Each person on the podcast (two local and one from Skype) are being recorded into individual tracks.
The person calling in on Skype has a lot of background noice. Can SounSoap be used to just clean up that track?

AaronFrankel wrote:

Yes, just load it up as an AU Effect through the Edit TAB on the particular track you want to use it on. You can use it on all your individual tracks if you want to deal with particular but different problematic noise you want to reduce or eliminate.

Creating individual tracks from vinyl

I have just digitized an album. Each side is an aiff file that I split into individual tracks in Garageband. Now, I need to send the files to iTunes. Each time I try this, I'm getting one big 25 minute track instead of four individuals. Someone give me some help please.

Different formats of the flat file for the same target

In our deployment, we use plugin code to extract the csv files in the required format. The customers are on same version of datamart, but they are on different versions of source database - from 3.x to 4.5 depending on which version of application they are using. In 4.0, we introduced a new column email in the user table in the source database. Accordingly, plugin will add the field in the csv file. But not all the customers will get the upgraded version of plugin at the same time. So ETL code needs to decide which data flow to process depending on the format of the csv file to load data to the same target table. I made the email field in the target table nullable but it still expects the same format of the csv file with delimiter for null value.
Need help to achieve this. Can I read the structure of the flat file in DS or get the count of delimiters so that I can use a conditional to use different data flow based on the format of the flat files.
Can I make the email column in the flat file optional?
Thanks much in advance.

You can add an email column that maps to null in a query transform for the source that does not contain this column.
Or else you can define two different file formats that map to the same file. One with the column and one without
