Slow music in Soundtrack

Can I slow a song to 1/2 speed in Soundtrack? If I can how would I do it, so it would still sound fairly good?

Nope, simply put, STP is audio rec. only, no MIDI[software inst.] Look up MIDI in the STP reference guide to see what you can do.
There is a way of syncing with MIDI inst.-you may be able to import individual recorded tracks this way from GB, by using an option that should appear as an output in GB called Soundtrack Pro Sync Source when both programs are running. You can automate controls over STP this way; typing notes will likely only yield one source of output.
When you play back the notes and have STP running a multi-trk file with a track rec. enabled then STP will record the real time playback on the software inst. track. That's how you can record MIDI data in STP, but i can't say for sure GB can do that...

[Solved]Slow Music

I could not find a topic on this before, so I will go ahead and post:
My music, using any music player (I tried Amarok, Banshee, mplayer, vlc, gmm) is slower than what it is supposed to be. It is only a little slower, and barely noticeable, but I notice, and it bugs me.
I play my song, then I play it on youtube, and the youtube version is sped up. My mp3 player has the same result, slow on computer, normal on mp3 player.
It is the same using a Xine and Gstreamer backend. I'm not sure what to do or if anything can be done. I will post more info as needed.
Thank you.
****EDIT****
So as it turns out, using mpd and Sonata solves my problem of slow music...perhaps it was a buffering issue, but I'm glad its over with.

I do not think that it is an ALSA issue, since I had the same issue with OSS

Slow Music CD & Film DVD read speed

Hello, I have the late 2008 mbp with a matshita superdrive.
I am finding read speeds for music and film discs to be very slow. Activity window shows it to be 2mb/s peaking at 4mb/s. Data discs read at 8mb/s. The drive is audibly spinning faster with data discs.
So importing music to itunes or converting dvds for my ipod touch is painfully slow. Cpu usage is nowhere near maximum and i have even copied the discs to test conversion speed from the harddrive.
My best guess is that apple has reduced the drive speed when playing these discs so the superdrives themselves are not so loud as to ruin the listening/watching experience.
Has anyone else experienced this? If I am correct is there a way to change the drive speeds for different media.
Thanks in advance.

I too am experiencing the same problem. I am currently in Iraq, and my wife sends me videos of my daughters that she burned to DVD. The videos are not too large, but they take FOREVER to transfer to my laptop. The drive spins up as you mentioned, then slows down and never speeds up again. It doesn't matter if the media is DVD or CD, the transfer speed is always slow. I hope that a solution presents itself soon. Obviously I do not have a local Apple store that I can take my machine into, and I am loathe to be without a computer for 6-8 weeks to send it back and forth.

Slow music playback on X2

music playback becoming slower after few minutes of listening.
-1300 of 2000 MB free on SD card
-25 of 48 MB free in internal phone memory
have latest firmware, tried power on and off, and also master reset but still same issue.
Just to note that it isn't very noticeable latency but it is still there and for fine hear this can be little annoying.
Anyone have same exp with this problem and any possible solution for this?
Thanks in advance

sirweste,
256MB of RAM seems a little low for Windows XP and that processor, but I'm still not sure how simple typing would be causing that much of a difference. Have you tried clean installing your soundcard into an alternati've PCI slot just in case some type of resource conflict is occurring?

Very slow music player on iPad

Very very slow iPad music player on iPad? I see loads of questions on this but no answers. Have switched off music match and really anything that could be causing the delay. Currently trying to reset the iPad device but if there are any quick answers out there, please let me know. Have a very large music collection but willing to only use subset on iPad if required (anything to get the performance back to normal). Thanks.....

Odder still would be to hang around here preaching to those who really don't care when you could and should be preaching to Apple, who would of course value and appreciate your input.
Mediocrity represents your opinion, which will get its due weight. As for apps that cost $, well ..... professionals would actually expect to have to pay for their tools. Why we even have all sorts of tax laws set up which will encourange you to do just that.

Ridiculously slow music transfer

Yesterday i bought myself an iphone, upgrading from my itouch which was quite fast at transfering music. so this morning i tell it to fill itself up with music (32 gig) and 4 hours later i came back and it had less than 400 songs transfered. 100 songs an hour? what the **** is this? this is the same port and same wire that the ipod touch had no problems with.
what is the deal here?

i cant remember the exact motherboard model
S'okay. You're running XP, which rules out several issues with Windows 7 where the motherboard details become significant.
Is she a laptop? if so, I'd first try the following document:
[iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1401]
(That sort of thing can be related to slow syncs as well as recognition issues.)
If you don't have a laptop, or changing the power management settings didn't help, I'd next try the following document:

Using CD music in'Soundtrack'

I'd like to use music from CDs with my video (personal use only). I found I could drop-and-drag a song from a CD (mp3) and it worked fine until I saved the work. When I came back, the music track was missing and apparently hidden somewhere on the hard drive. When I tried to reinsert the music, I got a skinny green line on the track instead of the full audio. I tried another cut and it worked ok again. What can I do to use the CD music on my video?

How do I change the sample rate?
On export from ST you should be prompted to where to export to, along with the option to change the bit depth and sample rate.
There is a thing at the beginning of Soundtrack support that says that with Soundtrack 1.5 the CD audio can be dropped and dragged directly, but they don't say exactly how.
Dunno about this, but you can use the ST browser to find the file and then drag from the ST browser to the track.

SLOW Music Store loading times (Safari too)

For the past few weeks (unsure if directly tied to a security or version upgrade), the ITunes music store has become painfully slow to load. The load bar starts, gets about 90% there quickly, then appears to 'hang', like it is having trouble loading the last couple images. All store pages have the same problem, including searches. Similar thing happening in Safari, though is more manageable since, unlike ITunes music store, the screen appears before it is fully loaded.
Other computers on my same home network, including both a mac and a PC, do not have this problem with ITunes. It is definitely just this one computer.
Have tried resetting Safari, playing with the buffer setting on ITunes, no luck.
Thoughts? Thank you

Hi Jim,
The 'refresh to force the page to load' symptom is usually a sign that you either have the wrong DNS addresses specified in your Network preferences or your ISPs DNS server are very slow.
Have a search for DNS on the Safari forum - there's quite a few posts and sample addresses for you to try out.
Good luck.

ITunes+Windows 7= Very Slow Music Sync

As above. Everything is perfect, but when i want to sync my music with my iphone 4 or with my ipad it takes forever. Any suggestions ?

I have very slow itunes since SP1, but have found a remarkably easy work round. Start itunes, start what you want to do - like sync to ipod et al, then just click the windows 'show desktop icon' and itunes does the stuff properly!
I have win 7 SP1 2gb 2Ghz AMD

Very slow music download with iTunes match on iOS devices

For some time now I experience very slow performance downloading music with iTunes match on my iOS devices.
Downloading music takes ages now. Not so long ago download music with iTunes match was as fast as buying music from the iTunes Store.
I tried to restore my iPhone but nothing changed.
The download itself is quite fast but after that the blue progress bar is full and the statut is "en cours" (french) something like busy/ongoing in english . The other tracks have a status wating;
Any idea how to solve the issue?
Thanks

Same here. It seems to be better when the device has been set up from scratch. A delete and restore does not the trick. So I learned to live with it

Creating software music in Soundtrack Pro..."musical typing"

Hello, all-
I just started using Final Cut Studio yesterday for a movie that I'm making with some friends. I'm doing the musical score, so I'm working a lot with Soundtrack pro. I just switched from using Garage Band, so it's a totally different world! =) In Gband, I'm used to creating software music...as in, typing in the notes, or "musical typing." I haven't found a way to do that in Soundtrack...is there a way? I know there are the loops, but I haven't figured out how to create my own music without recording a real instrument.
So basically, my question is, can you create a software instrument and do "musical typing" in Soundtrack?
Thanks!

Slow music store

does anybody know how to quicken up my itunes store. everytime i go on it it takes forever to load up!!

I'm not so sure that it is a specific pc. I am running plenty of power and it takes about 12 minutes from the time i click on the itunes icon to the time i can actually see the homepage. The kicker is that once i get in i try to burn a song that i want and it freezes up and at least once it crashed my computer...I think it is official, Apple ***! Thats the problem and the solution = getting music from elsewhere.....

ANY help is very welcome as im a uni student so this is killing me when im working!!

Imported Music From Soundtrack to FCE = Distorted?

I edited a song in Soundtrack and after importing it into FCE for the purpose of using it in a video, the waveform is blown out. What is the cause behind this? It sounds normal in Soundtrack and upon playing it in FCE it starts out fine but as it progresses it sounds horrible.

Hi(Bonjour)!
iTune purchased songs have build-in DRM thus preventing the use in PRO app like Soundtrack, Final Cut etc.
That could explain the problem.
Otherwise, open your exported AIFF in quicktime player and check the volume playback to see if the exporting process has induced the distorsion.

Itunes slows, music becomes filled with static, stops...affects radio too

I'm using iTunes 9.02 and this problem has become more intensive recently. I've recreated my music list and files and the problem also affects streaming radio on iTunes as well. The music plays great for a few minutes, then slowly I hear pops of static. Then the static builds, overwhelms the music and then the music begins to skip before it stops entirely. I then pause iTunes playback, restart, and then the music plays fine for a few more minutes before the situation repeats itself. Interestingly I've found the problem also occurs on Pandora outside of iTunes. This problem has only worsened since I've installed Snow Leopard, though nothing else has caused a problem. I'm at a loss. Admittedly it's not a big problem, but it is a bother. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. By the way, this problem continues whether or not the music files are on the original hard drive, or if the music files are on an external drive (to free up space). Regardless, I have another 50 GB of space on my original drive, so that should'nt be a problem.

Turns out this problem may be as simple as unplugging a Plantronics headset from the peripheral USB plug hub (an extension) and simply plugging it back into the Mac Pro directly. I don't know how else to answer it. I have no idea why, but it's working fine now. Any further developments I'll let you know.
