Sample accurate editing across multiple files

I'm editing a podcast and need to use zero-crossing points to make inaudible edits.
I have two vocal tracks, in sync, and want to be able to select zero-crossings in one and then ripple delete (e.g. to remove a word), applying that same edit to the other track so that everything stays in sync.
Obviously I can do this by selecting both tracks and using the timeslice tool - but that won't find zero crossings. I can find the crossings in the wavefile editor, but I don't know how to copy those edits to more than one track.
I'm sure this is obvious - I feel as if I'm missing something. I need help.

Here's just a thought on how I would approach that.
In the multi-track, I'd pan one track hard left and the other hard right, then export as a single stereo track. Then bring that back in as an audio file project, make all the edits you want, save it, then split the stereo track back into two mono tracks at the end of the edit process.
Hope that'll help!

Does a Flash library symbol search extension exist that can search across multiple files?

Hi, I'm working on a large animation project with an extensive symbol library that exists across multiple files. I would like to know if such a tool exists that can search between all of these files for specific symbols. This would save me a great deal of time and I would be very grateful for any suggestions. We are using Flash CS5 primarily. Thanks.

Thanks! I appriciate you confirming this for me

Sample accurate edits in sample editor

I am new to Logic Pro, having previously worked with Cubase. I understand that the underlying engine of logic is constructed upon beats, frames, ticks etc., but is it possible to do sample accurate editing in the sample editor?
At present any small selection of say 2 or 3 samples in length is often enlarged to many samples. Is this because of the 'snap to' parameter? Is this behaviour unavoidable?
Cheers,
Georgie

Your method is essentially a hack is it not?
For using the sample editor, no
For the arrange, absolutely - but it does work if you can work in such a short time.
It intrigues me that this should be necessary - it reinforces my understanding that Logic is at its core a sequencer, as opposed to a sound editing tool.
Yes, it's roots are in sequencing - still, I am surprised it is still restricted this way.

Splitting across multiple files

I am creating large, image-heavy documents, in the zone of 40+ pages with at least 10-11 embedded PDF files (equations from LaTexiT and images from Grapher, mostly) per page. The individual files are not large, but having so many seems to make opening the files a very slow process.
I could save each of my sections as a separate file, as I usually only need one section at a time, but I'd be sad to lose things like self-updating page counts and page numbers. But is it possible to split large Pages documents across multiple files, at least for that sort of purpose? I've seen PDF files that do this (textbooks and other enormous documents).

No, I'm afraid that is not possible. You could save them as individual files and then update the first page number in each document manually though.

Updating a variable across multiple files in a book

Hi guys,
I have a book file with multiple files (prelim pages and chapters). In the header of each prelim page and chapter file I'm using a variable. How can I make a simple change to the variable and update it across all files that use it? I've tried looking through the menus and opening all files but I can't see any method of making a global change.
Advice appreciated.
Cheers
Carl

How about File > Import formats …
1. make a new file (source) where you define just the variable you want to copy to other files (targets)
2. import that variable from the source file into the target files
When all the target files are in a .book, you can select them in the book and then use File > Import formats. Otherwise, the same command from inside each target – but you can always make a dummy .book referencing all the target files.
Setting up a source file first means you can work with only the variables you want to, if you have some that change per chapter and others that stay the same throughout the book.

[ps] Watch out for the default behaviour of the Import from Document pulldown, which sets itself determinedly to "current file"

How to edit across multiple take folders...?

I have sessions recorded in several takes, using multiple mics recording to different tracks.
I'm comping from the takes and want to be able to (for instance) simultaneously select the same parts of each take for a violin spot mic as well as two room mics for ambience. Working on each track separately is tedious as well as inaccurate. I'm guessing there must be a way to identically edit more than one take folder at the same time but can't find that info in the documentation.

This is a little time consuming, but will get the job done. Try creating another track. Then record a blank space for a measure or so. Then option-drag (copy) blank space into the empty spots. If too small to fill, drag-extend, if too large, drag-shrink or split. Continue to do this until all blank spaces are filled. Then select entire track and join together. You now have one continuous track. Delete the extra track. Remember if you make any mistakes along the way, you can always undo! Since this is a long process, and you might mess up big-time at some point, you might want to keep the original version. Duplicate the file before beginning editing process, you can always delete it later.

Ezsetfacl.sh - Mini configuration agent, setfacl across multiple files

-Introduction-
ezsetfacl.sh can edit configuration files, can manipulate file properties(permissions, modes, attributes etc)
ezsetfacl.sh supports syntax/logical error detection in file list
The script is intended to be run as root, but for demo/testing purposes, it's run as a non-root user in this article
Current version : http://pastebin.com/JpScZMbQ http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=JpScZMbQ(RAW)
This is the previous version : https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=173905
This version is basically an enchanced one, but this is much more functional and usable than the first one, I think it deserves a new thread
-Note-
ezsetfacl.sh is still in testing state, use "setfacl -g [filelist]" and check all generated commands yourself before actually applying permissions
-Update-
(27/2/2014) Added "chmod" block and "chown" block, modified statistics list a bit.
(28/2/2014) Added "chattr" block, added related lines to statistics list.
(15/3/2014) Added APPEND, INSERT and REPLACE blocks, mainly for configuring config files. Will add to statistics list later.
(17/3/2014) Added COMMAND block, for executing commands, no syntax checks. Will add to statistics list later. Now it's more like a configuration manager/agent thingy.
(7/5/2014) Bug fixes. Added tea.
(19/9/2014) Bug fixes. Enhanced input sanitisation, allowed file name stitching(e.g. this\ is\ a\ file), auto stitching file names is also available. Multiple <END can now be processed properly.
(20/9/2014) Added Sourceforge page.(See below)
-Notes-
Error detection still requires improvement
-Limitations-
Logical and physical option for recursive setfacl are not yet available
Sourceforge page : https://sourceforge.net/projects/ezsetfaclsh/
Detailed explanation on the options : http://pastebin.com/1QLSFPkD http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=1QLSFPkD(RAW)
Examples : http://pastebin.com/KQcNXVSW http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=KQcNXVSW(RAW)
Any feedback is welcome!

Ah, well...indeed. Basically, these three owners are volatile...I have one for EM (which is pretty static), one for databases ( ~oracle gets "rm -rf"-ed about twice annually), and one for AS (~oracleas gets "rm -rf"-ed twice annually, but on a different 'schedule' if we can call it that).

Simultaneous Editing of Multiple Files in Soundtrack

I have an 8track Logic Project where I have a cough in the middle of a bell ring. There is bleed of this over all the tracks. Can I isolate that region in Logic, and export an audio file for each track region to Soundtrack Pro, and then edit them simultaneously? I want to be able to Display Frequency Spectrum View for 8 tracks simultaneously, and edit the cough out right there. Rather then editing the cough out 8 times, once for each track. I have several songs with coughs in them so this would not be efficient. I know there may be a better solution for removing my cough, but regardless I am interested to learn if you can use Frequency Spectrum View on multiple audio files simultaneously. Thank you for your help.

You say you have several hundred files with 3 columns of data in them. You want to take out the 3rd column from each file and create a new file that contains all the 3rd columns.
This seems to imply the output file will have several hundred columns in it. Is that correct?

How do i extract annotated pages across multiple files?

I use Acrobat XI standard. I am a lawyer doing cases with multiple PDFs. I annotate the pdfs when a witness speaks to a page. How can I extract pages that I have made annotation on into a separate file?

Hi Charlie Manzoni,
Please refer this thread link (Converting a single 2 page doc into 2 separate 1 page docs ) where i have posted the procedure to extract pages from a pdf into a separate file.
Please revert back if you have any query or need any further assistance on this issue.

Changing Styles Across Multiple Files

We have a lengthy catalog that we build in spreads. We don't make a book file, since the pages are all sent individually to our prepress people, and we also have pages that copywriters use to create the copy in the first place.
Every piece of copy in this book is set up on character and paragraph styles. We start with a master template, so all the styles have the same names.
We're almost done with the whole thing, and then today we find out from the Office of Secret Self-Important Ivory Towers that they have chosen new fonts for us and not told us what they are until now, so now we have to change every single font from the top down.
Is there any way to synchronize the styles without building a book file? It's not the end of the world if that's what we have to do, but it won't work for the writers' files, and it's going to require a lot of manual tweaking to keep it from shuffling pages everywhere.
We're on CS4, by the way.

If all of your documents share the same style names, then you can do this relatively easily without using the book features.
Although it is easier to do this by using the book features, what you need to do is open the document that you consider to be your source or master document. Make all the style changes as needed and save it.
Open the next document.
Go to the Paragraph Style panel
In the panel menu, select Load All Text Styles... (this loads Paragraph and Character styles)
Select the master document.
Allow the incoming styles to override any existing styles of the same name.
Cleanup any text as needed, save and close.
Repeat for all other documents.
If you have object styles, use the same proceedure with the object style panel.
If you have swatches that change, you can Save Swatches from the master file, then Load Swatches in the other files.
Note: this would be far easier to do by temporarily adding all the documents to a book (be sure to disable any auto page numbering in the book) and then Sync from the book panel.

Assigning default applications across multiple file types

I prefer to use VLC to watch video files, but I keep running into different file types that are still set to have Quicktime open them. Is there any way to quickly set whatever file types I want to open by default with VLC? Or any program for that matter?

Has anyone noticed that recently this doesn't always seem to work?
I have a webloc file for BBC Radio 4. (*) I have set the "Open with" to open it with Real Player, rather than Safari (which is set as the default browser). When the file is double clicked, it still opens with Safari.
This behaviour seems to since 10.5.8, since I had a Hot Key set to open the file and it worked fine before.
Any ideas?

Unwanted FX editing across multiple layers

Hi there,
I am using the new Photoshop CC 2014 and I have some effects placed on some layers (drop shadows, embossed effects etc.). When I attempt to add for example a drop shadow to a new layer (or edit it in a previous layer) and change the angle of the shadow, it for some reason changes every angle of every effect that I have on every other layer. So when I place a drop shadow at 90 degrees, even my embossed angles will too move to 90 degrees. Has anyone had this issue or know of a solution?! It is very annoying!
As far as I know the layers are not linked or anything.
Thanks!

Sample Accurate Visual Editing?

Hello everyone. Is there any NLE out there that can actually move in visual incriments SMALLER than frames? I ask this because I'm doing some pretty specific audio cueing in FCP that is too small for the frame limitations of the system.
I know that the program's audio can, of course, incriment in sample segments (44.1, 48, 96, etc thousand samples per second), but what happens when you want to do some really specific sync-sounding work that has, for example, two or more audio edits PER each frame?
Is this a task that should, perhaps, be transfered (via quicktime) over to, say, Logic, and simply do all my sample accurate editing there?
I plan on getting Logic, but haven't yet, so FCP's pretty much all I've been working with thus far.
Thank you in advance to everyone.
Javier Calderon

Thanks so much, Cap. Yeah. That's what I kind've figured. And yes, I've actually been doing quite a bit of sample sensitive audio editing. I've been key framing like mad. Unfortunately, and like you just mentioned, your audio sample is gridded on the visual frames, so, although you can key frame to 3000th of a second (adjusting the volume and pan curves to such sensitivity, for example), you can't actually MOVE the sample itself to anything smaller than a whole frame.
It would be great if FCP implimented sample sensitive frame adjustment - that is, if it's even possible. Perhaps there would be some serious time code issues or whatnot.
Thanks again.

How can I share a *.java source file across multiple projects in NetBeans?

I'm sure this simple and a pretty common operation but how can I share a *.java source file across multiple projects in NetBeans? Right now I keep cut, coping and pasting the same source file between multiple projects to re-use the same code. But I could I make this source file a library file or something like that so that I could access it from any project. I assume this would be a generic operation but I mentioned NetBeans for clarity. Thanks.

If anyone wants to be specific about NetBeans I welcome that too.

Create a class library.
Write your code, compile it to .class files, put those class files in a .jar file and include the jar file in the classpath whenever you want to compile a project against it.

How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac?

How do you share Aperture file across multiple users on same Mac? Seems this should be a preferences choice.

When you share your library between users, you may run into permission and ownership problems, if both users are editing the Aperture library and not only reading it. To avoid that, it helps to put the Aperture library onto a separate disk or a separate partion of your hard drive. For s separate partition or disk you can enable the "ignore ownership on this volume" flag. Then all users can access the library as owners of this library.
You might try to put the aperture library into a shared folder on your mac, but that has caused problems recently, i.e. when the library also contains video files.
