Shorten duration w/o changing pitch?

I'm trying to match Spanish voice-overs to English and most are too long. Is there a way to speed up my Spanish track without changing pitch? (It would be even better if I could do it FCP since I have many clips to manage.)
Hope someone can help.

A reasonable question. I'll check.
I've taken a different tack since I first wrote. I'm revising the Spanish version alternately by A. speeding up the Spanish VO in FCP, with an AU Pitch filter applied and/or B. lengthening the video scene.
Thanks again for your help.

How do you make audio fast without changing pitch?

How do you make audio fast without changing pitch?

PrPro may have that but I've always just gone over to Audition ... you change speed there, you're given a choice of keeping the pitch the same or allow it to change. Note ... if there's much cha ge in speed the result can be odd.

Changing pitch....

Forgive me, you will have to talk to me like I am an idiot with audio stuff....because I am! lol
I sold my father inlaw my Powerbook, his first mac, in large part because of the audio he wants to do.
So he asked me in GarageBand how does he change pitch....well the only thing I can find is how to change the Master Pitch on the Master Track.
He wants to take one track and change the pitch. Can that be done?
And if not what is the work around since he says this is standardly done for music creation is must be possible.
And please if you respond can it be step by step (for an idiot remember, video is my thing) so I can in turn be able ot tell him?
Thansk in advance.

Great, thank you I see that, but I have to ask, as I know what he is going to ask me.
He is new to working with a computer and music, and he is old school, and how do you know what you changed the pitch too? Forgive my lack of musical lingo, but shouldn't you have more to go by + or - the numbers? Is that typically how one would denote things musically?
Thanks again. That is a big help

How to change pitch with my MIDI keyboard? I wanna hear something from the CD and write it down but the MIDI is a little to high and that makes it harder for me....

Midi transpose will not help you. Midi is only sent when you press (or release a key) so unless you retrigger there is no midi to transpose. If I understand what you want to do, you'll need to transpose the audio not the midi. That is what the pitch wheel does but it changes the pitch continuously so it doesn't really transpose. However, you could program a midi encoder (a rotary controller on the keyboard for example) to send specific midi cc100 & cc101 values to vary pitch in increments. For that you'll need to use Logic Environment or some other midi 'programming' tool.

How to change an audio clip's speed without changing pitch

is there a simple way to change an audio clip's speed without changing the pitch in FCP? thanks

Can't do it inside FCP, but you can in Soundtrack Pro.
Another option is Amazing Slow Downer http://www.ronimusic.com/

How do I stop my audio from changing pitch when moving it to another track?

I read up a bit on the "Flex" settings, however, I can't seem to turn it completely off. The flex button is not engaged, however, when I move audio from one track to another, the pitch changes. How do I stop this completely?

You have to disable it on the tracks themselves too. The 'main' flex button only turns on and off Flex view, and not flex itself.
Flex view on, track flexed
Flex view off, track flexed (or not?)
Flex view on, track not flexed

CHANGING PITCH to already existing mixed track

I want to import an instrumental background music track into a program and change the pitch. I can't find a way to do it in Garage Band. What's my best bet for doing this without having to buy an expensive program?

best bet, an audio editor:

Howto change duration of images (change the duration of group of images )?

Hi all,
I'm using iMovie HD 6.0.3 and I wish to change the duration on the time line of all my photos. I can do it one by one but there are 100 of them.
Question: how can I select all pictures and change the duration of ALL images (the default 5 sec and I wish to make it 3 sec?)
* when I right click the photo --> show info -->the duration *is not* editable?!?!
any idea how to circumvent this?
Thank you!

Select the first photo in the sequence. Then while holding the shift key, select the last one. This should cause all of the photos from the first through the last to be selected. Then, be sure to click on "Media" and then "Photos". This should then show a button that says "Show Photo Settings"; click on that. In the window, go to the box at the bottom, and change the duration to one that you wish. This new time should be applied to all of the selected photos.
I hope this helps.

Photo duration won't change

Help!! No matter what I do even manually change each photos duration, or change duration and apply to all slides, even set the settings of the photo duration in the project properties, all of my photos will NOT change how long they are on screen for. Some of them are at like 6 seconds each!
Ive tried changing them with transitions in the project, without transitions in the project etc.

Cannot Paste Duration data--format changes upon Paste!

I'm pasting some tabular data and one column is Duration (Ex: 01:19:00) and when I paste the data in values like 01:19:00 become 1:19 AM.
I need the actual durations so they can be computed.... how can I get Numbers to stop automatically changing these values???
Thanks,
Robert

For those which don't want to pre-format a table, I wrote this script which protect the durations.
CAUTION :
as the developers forgot to include duration in the list of formats settable thru AppleScript, I apply the format text. You will have to change it to duration 0:00:00.
--[SCRIPT iTunestoNumbers]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : iTunestoNumbers.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Copier des données dans iTunes. Si elles contiennent des durées,
aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir “iTunestoNumbers”
Le script les colle dans une table d'un nouveau document Numbers
dont certaines colonnes sont définies au format texte pour préserver les dites durées.
Il vous faudra retoucher le format en spécifiant durée, 0:00:00 dans l'Inspecteur de cellules.
Je suis désolé mais les dévelopeurs ont oublié d'inclure durée dans les formats applicables à l’aide d’AppleScript.
--=====
L’aide du Finder explique:
L’Utilitaire AppleScript permet d’activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l’Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus”.
Sous 10.6.x,
aller dans le panneau “Général” du dialogue Préférences de l’Éditeur Applescript
puis cocher la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menus”.
--=====
Save the script as a Script: iTunestoNumbers.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Copy datas from iTunes. If they contain durations,
go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose “iTunestoNumbers”
The script will paste the datas in a Numbers new table
whose some columns are defined as text to protect the duration entries.
You will have to adjust the format to duration 0:00:00 thru the Inspector of Cells.
I apologize but the develpers forgot to include duration in the list of formats settable thru AppleScript.
--=====
The Finder’s Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the “Show Script Menu in menu bar” checkbox.
Under 10.6.x,
go to the General panel of AppleScript Editor’s Preferences dialog box
and check the “Show Script menu in menu bar” option.

How do you Change Pitch but not Tempo in Time Machine?

I have an imported audio aiff which i want to put up by 200 cents - the Pitch transposes fine but the Tempo of the track increases.
How do I set Time and Pitch Machine to keep the Tempo the same? In the Tempo Origin and Destination boxes the figure is the same - still Pre Listen shows the Tempo has gone up...
NB I tried 'Detect Tempo' and the audio track to establish the tempo - it said 102bpm ( i.e. not the tempo of the the logic document sequence.. the audio track bears no relation to the existing tempo of 120bpm in the Arrange) I put that Tempo 102bpm into Original and Destination boxes. Still the Tempo did not remain the same

It shouldn't change the tempo if you just change the pitch destination.
I tried it, and when I shift a track 200 cents up WITHOUT changing the tempo section, it does exactly that. No tempo changes.
Mode: Free
Algoritm: Universal
This is in Logic X btw.
PS: if you do keep getting this problem, why not use the Logic pitch shifter?

Changing Pitch in Garage Band without Echo/Noise

Hi, I am making an audio recording in Garage Band. Just a voice over for a spec TVC. I am using an Audio Technica USB mic to narrate. I would like to change the pitch of my voice to -40 cents, but I am finding it turns it very echoy and adds a bit of a humming noise to certain words. Any help, greatly appreciated, thanks!

Garageband has to do all its effects on the fly, while playing back the track. To achieve a better effect, you might take your recording to an audio editor like Audacity, apply the pitch change there, and re-import the altered audio into GB.

Change pitch of midi instruments

Hello
What is the best way to change the pitch of midi instruments to match source recording of acoustic guitar and voices?
thanks

Hi Jordi!
What are you doing slumming it here my friend?
Anyhow.. for the OP.. If you go to the Instrument Properties tab in the Play Engine... you can fine tune the instruments there.. which would probably be a lot easier than messing around with your own audio files
