Slowness in viewing sound wave

I edit webcasts on GB. when i load in a new section of recording to edit it takes a very long time for the sound wave to appear. Sometimes it will appear on one track and i have to wait a long time for the second track to appear.
I have checked and i have plenty of memory available.
Anyone have a solution or suggestion?
I can not edit without the sound wave.

Hi,
Use Disk Utility to repair your system permissions (/Applications/Utilities);
Then, trash your GarageBand Preference files (don't worry, it will replace them; you can reset any prefs to what they were in the app)
Search for the two files:
com.apple.garageband.cs -and-
com.apple.garageband.plist
and discard them.
(Normally, they are in /Library/Preferences/ or in user/Library/Preferences/
but do a search to make sure you get all the copies.)

srdad1942,
You question would garner a swifter response, I believe, if it were posted in this forum. I wish I knew as much about GB as you seem to!

Sound waves in FCP

Hi there,
I am sort of stuck...
When I opened my project today, I realized that I don't see the sound waves any more in the viewer, even after double click on the sound tracks....
Can someone tell me what I did wrong to "hide" them ?
Also, when I double click I get vertical bars at each locations, instead of only one at the place at want to work...
Thanks in advance.
Ivan

To make this option stick for future projects, go to USER PREFERENCES and select the TIMELINE OPTIONS TAB and check SHOW AUDIO WAVEFORMS.

Qosmio G20-139 slow video playback sound ok

Hi,
I no longer seem to be able to play video files, play DVDs, or watch TV as the playback is in slow motion but sound is ok except on the TV.
Have tried to uninstall Graphics driver but it won't let me saying something to the effect of unable to uninstall as required to boot.
Also looking into uninstalling /reinstalling Video driver but can't find what it is. Is it the same as the Graphics driver (NVIDIA Go Geforce 6600)?
This all started (i think) when i tried to use a netgear router insatllation CD but stopped it half way even though it said not to... Then whole system went incredibly slow and crashed a lot for a while (even Word, Excel and Powerpoint) but think some updates have sorted that out.. but it still doesn't seem to be able to handle too much going on at once like before... plus some site heavily using javascript have also gone ridiculously slow.
Besides using product restore CD as not to hand as moved to diff country... Any suggestions please????
OS: Window XP MCE
Regards,
Angela

The display driver and the graphic driver is the same ;) some people call it display driver and some people say graphic driver
Im not quite sure why you are not able to watch movie files properly but possibly you would need some kind of codex.
The codec can be downloaded from different pages and many packages contains different codex.
Personally Im using N K-Lite Mega Codec Pack because it contains most necessary codecs.
I think its worth a try to install it!
Furthermore I recommend cleaning the OS using the CCLeaner its free tool and I had a good experience with it

Sound Wave in Track Editor is Low-Res, Won't Redraw Hi-Res

I'm using GarageBand on a new computer, and when I record a real instrument, the sound wave in the the Track Editor isn't upgraded from the low-res version displayed during recording to the much more detailed hi-res version that makes it possible to distinguish individual notes. What do I need to change?

To clarify what you expect to see, are you looking for it to turn into actual music notation?

I have an iPhone 5, which I need to connect to my Bose sound wave system. What leads to I need for me to use my iPhone to listen to my music

Did anyone ever find an answer to Hugh's question?
I'm just now facing the how-to-connect-iPhone5 (s) to the Wave. Bose will most likely sell me an expensive connector kit, but has anyone found a way to DIY? The Bose guy did say the 5 will not work with the Bose Wave stereo I've got.

Sound wave not displaying (Flatline)

Hi all,
I am having problems generating a visual sound wave when creating a track. I am able to produce actual sound and create a sound track, but the display shows a continuous flat line (for my guitar). Im not creating lengthy tracks so it doesnt seem to be a CPU issue. Anybody have advice on this? Thanks much.

Ha! That sounds like it could be it. You know, there's always this pause after you drag something in for GB to digest it and process the wave graph. It does take some CPU elbow grease for GB to crunch through this, so maybe it's just exceeding some limit?
Here's one suggestion then: cut the sound file into pieces without moving them. Position the playback line at a certain point, and hit Command T. This will split the file at that point. Do this a few times to chop the thing into bite size pieces. Maybe that'll work.
If that doesn't work, you could then try moving each of the pieces onto a new track, making sure to align them. Moving the pieces onto a new track might force GB to draw the wave, and with the now bite-sized regions.
Come to think of it, I think I've encountered this non-wave bug too.
I didn't really need the waves at the time so my approach was to just ignore the problem and pretend like it didn't exist, and then, it didn't. I guess after I encountered this I moved on to the next song which was OK! So, out of sight out of mind. That may not be the best advice, so hopefully the other thought about chopping these up will help!

HOW TO MAKE AUDIO SHOW THE SOUND WAVES?

I was wondering if it was possible to show the sound waves on the audio track, whenever I plug in audio I cant seem to figure out how to make it show like it does in other programs such as Adobe Premiere? Thanks!

Option-Command-W, if you're the keyboard type
Otherwise, there's button right by the track height selector buttons, at the bottom left of the Timeline.

How come I can't see the sound wave in the tracks?

I just got an iMac, and am brand new to this, but I'm stuck here. The tracks are rectangular blocks of sound and I can't get them so they will be sound waves. I feel like I've clicked on every possible option. Any help?

MIDI loops (green) are not sounds, so there is no waveform, they are merely instructions for a synth. audio loops (blue) will show the waveform.
and I can't get them so they will be sound waves.
if you option drag a MIDI loop from the browser into the timeline, it's pre-rendered audio sample will be used instead and you will see a sound wave.

Problem with creating a sound wave

I ned a sound wave to finish my site, needs to look like this: http://www.ipastgroup.com/SoundWaveGreen.jpg
I need it PNG clear background at size 600x100 and 600x50 i would be so greatful if someone could whip me one up ?

What do you mean by 600x100 AND 600x50? What do ou want one made smaller only on the vertical axis too?
Also, what colour fuzz around the lines? green stil? but with a transparent background?
EDIT:
With green, size = 600px X 100px
http://i151.photobucket.com/albums/s133/rickyt_album/imgadobeforum.png
(Creation Method): Draw a few straight hard lines on seperate layers, liquify each one indervidually, then merge them all, and put an outer glow on it. Deleted background layer for transparency.

Creating a Video of Sound Waves

I am making a video for a soul band but due to a lack of footage I want to create a video of pulsating sound waves in time to the audio. I have done a quick search of the forums but cant find anything that helps.
It's not going to be full screen just in a small box with a white border and the video is going to be compressed to stream on the bands website: www.otbsoul.com
Does anyone know of the best means of creating this??? I dont mind using a different program other than Final Cut to create an AVI of the sound waves then importing into Final Cut. I would even pay a little bit of money for it.
Any advice greatly appreciated.

Noise Industries FxFactory is a freely available plugin framework for third party effects, download and install it and you can use any free or commercial plugins that use that framework
Core Melt's Veeyoo plugins use the FxFactory framework (and are free). They do kind of what you want ... maybe even more than you want.

How to lip sync and see the sound wave better?

Alright, so first of all I will thank you for clicking this post!
There's 2 questions/problems, so if you got the solution on both/one of them, PLEASE post!
So I'm working on an animation where some guys sings and in order to make that look good, i need some good lip syncing.
Since this is not short clips, but a whole song on 2-3 minutes, it's very hard for me to make the lip sync perfect because I have to replay from the beginning in order to hear the music.
So question one is: Are there a way that I can play the movie in the middle and still hear the music?
And so the second question is that I can barely see the sound waves in the Music layer, even though there's lots of music.
Here's a picture of how big the sound waves are:
And that's in the middle of the song!
The problem is not that the music is too low, because it's quite high.
So question number two is: Are there a way that I can make the soundwaves bigger in the music layer without affecting the music itself?
Feel free to post even if you don't have the answer, so it will stay at the top till someone knows how to fix this!
Thanks from Mistah NovaNova

There are several ways to make the sound file, or any layer, more prominent in the timeline. In the upper right corner of the timeline window is a contextual menu. In that menu select Large. This will make all of the layers use a larger area in the timeline window. Set the frame rate to higher rate, say 100 or 150 fps. This will stretch the audio, and all of the other content over a larger space in the timeline.
Both of the above will make the audio track easier to see. Add a layer to the timeline and place key frames at points where you need. These will aid you in managing the audio.
I usually cut up the audio file into smaller chunks and place these end to end in the timeline, usually in different layers. The net effect on playback is that the sound plays as expected. On the timeline, I get a short chunk of content to work with. You cannot expect to maintain sync over any extended period of time in Flash, or any application like it. Keep the extent of any given synched section short and run them end to end. The audio and the visual portions of Flash are compiled separately and will be played back separately.

Slowing down a sound

How would I slow down a sound? Basically I want to slow down timing *and* pitch, not just one or the other. The effect I'm going for is a sound in slow motion.
Thanks.

You might need to use another prog to do this such as Audition because it allows 3rd party plugins to run. However, if you want a free option, I recommend using Audacity because it allows you to run plug-ins as long as you install the extra vst wrapper. I personally use Wavelab because it doesn't require any plugins to achieve this. It includes its own pitch shift / time stretch function.
Good luck.

Problems with Sound WAVs in Flash

Hi Everyone,
I've been using flash for a while now and find that it's
great program for creating animations and interactive
presentations. I've started making an interactive presentation of
Star Trek ships but I've ran into a problem!!
-PROBLEM-
I'm having trouble with imported sounds in flash. I started
by making a Title Scene for my presentation and then a End Scene,
followed by a Main Menu Scene and a Ship Info Scene. I've been
using buttons to navigate between the various scenes which is
working great, I've also been double clicking on the buttons to
open them and then assigning a sound WAV to the "OnHit" frame of
the the button, so when the button is pressed it will make a sound.
Now here comes the interesting part; Everytime I test the
movie and press a button to move forward to another scene it plays
the correct sound and moves onto the selected scene (great!!).
But when I press a button to move to a previous scene, It
plays the correct sound but it also plays two or three other sound
WAV's that are not assign to the button press "OnHit" frame. I
cannot find any reason as to why it seems to be doing this, so I've
decided to come here and ask the "Experts!!".
If anyone want's to look at the FLA file in question, it can
be downloaded from my space here:-
http://files.filefront.com/Starfleet_Vessel_Databasefla/;6892308;;/fileinfo.html
I hope someone knows the answer to this problem, and can help
me out, It would be much appreciated!!
Regards
GR Elgy.

god that's complicated.

Slow motion no sound

when i put a video in the sequence it's playing slow motion and without sound.. like frame after frame, slowly..
i'm sure i'ts a begginer question but i really need help fast!

I have no idea what you mean by "it is playing slow motion without sound".
I'm guessing you're trying to play the video in the timeline by pressing the space bar. That's a rokie mistake. You must do a ram preview. Use the Preview Panel or select Composition>Preview>Ram preview. AE will render a ram preview and, if audio is turned on in the Preview Panel, you'll get audio. The preview will only play until you run out of ram.
AE is a compositing app. It's not for editing, it's for making cool shots and on occasion sequences.
