STP workflow when editing DV audio

I'm editing audio sent from a FCP sequence as a mulitrack project. Can anyone with experience tell me how they go about cleaning up the audio, what do they do, in what order and why? Yes, this is broad, so I'll narrow it with some specifics. The audio I have is from an outdoor wedding so here are the tasks that need to be done that I see.
-analyze and remove clicks/pops and clipping (editor)
-set noise print and reduce background noise (editor)
-lower the amplitude of a few sections to remove unwanted sharp sounds (editor)
-mix the volume levels of various tracks to create the right levels for each in relation to each other (timeline)
As of now these are the things that need done and that is the order I've thought of doing them in. Can anyone with experience tell me if I've got these tasks obviously out of order? I love STP, but I'm new to audio editing as a concept so I'd like to get some advice on logical steps to follow such as what steps to do first, second, etc. in STP.

Either export the audio to 48k, or recapture it in FCP. iMovie captures as DV streams, where FCP uses the codec expected by the sequence settings.
If you recapture in FCP set the capture settings to 32k 16 bit.
There is no other "fix" here don't believe.

After I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7 I can no longer see the individual chapters when playing my audio books. Also I can't edit and copy multiple text messages.

After I updated my iPhone 5 to iOS7 I can no longer see the individual chapters when playing my audio books. Also I can no longer edit a and copy multiple text messages like before. Is there a way to do these things I am missing?

Not only can i not see the individual chaptes -- apparently like you and everyone else suffering through the "improved" iOS7 -- when my audiobook repeats a "file" within chapter, which it sometimes does, I cannot get "inside" the chapter and move forward to where I'm supposed to be.
Whatever happened to "if it ain broke.......???

Premier Pro 2014 opens Audition CS6 when editing audio clip from Premier

I own Adobe CS6 Master Collection installed (for legacy projects) and I also have the CC subscription. When I am running Premier Pro CC 2014 and then try to edit an audio clip in Audition the CS6 version of Audition loads rather than the CC 2014 version. Any help or thoughts on why this is happening would be appreciated.

I detected this with photoshop--I think its an OS issue--The OS doesn't appear to recognize the two versions are different. In my case, I had PSP CC loaded, but then loaded the 32 bit version of PSP CS6 (so I could scan directly into the program using "IMPORT") Windows changed the default to the 32 bit version. When I tried to change default using windows, windows would not show the CC version as an option--just the 32 bit version. Without editing the registry, I couldn't find a way to force windows to ignore the 32 bit version and open the CC version. My workaround was to always open the CC version from the icon and then click on the file I wanted open. It appears that if any version of the program is already running, the recognized default won't open. This might work for you on Audition.

Premiere Pro CC crashes when editing audio- any solutions?

Adobe Premiere Pro CC crashes nearly every time I try to edit audio, keyframe it in certain spots, etc, etc, with the error message that there has been an "unexpected problem" and the program must "force quit." Sometimes my work is saved, sometimes it isn't. And then I have to re-name my saved file, so I often end up with upwards of 15 different project files because I cannot edit audio without this program crashing. I see I'm not the only one--what is Adobe doing to fix this bug-riddled program? It's impossible to get anything done!
I'm using this program on a MAC, 6-Core Intel Xeon Processor. MAC OS X Lion 10.7.5.
I'm ready to lose my mind.

I am having a very similar experience.....I have been working in Adobe Premiere Pro for well over 8 years and have always had issues with crashes when working with audio files, keyframing, transition placement, trimming and so on. I have had nightmares with some projects that I am having crashes every change I do and it seems once you get an issue with a project it only gets worst. I have worked on a number of different systems in regards to hardware and get the same issues, OS has been Windows 7 64bit for number of years. I would have expected Adobe to have been able to smooth this out by now but it just keeps rearing its ugly head when I`m on a deadline crunch.
I try to never work with Mp3s and always request wav but it doesn't seem to matter in the long run.
Just wanted to let you know you are not the only one and I am having a serous issue with this problem once again!
Please help Adobe....audio is an issue with Premiere Pro for a lot of us....thanks!

Cs6 audio when editing, touch or write

Hey guys, i am getting used to cs6 after being on premeiere elements 10 for a while., but i cannot get used to the audio when editing,.On prem 10 there was the mixer and when you went along the timeline and used the sliders for the changes it rendered great and all was good, but i am finding the cs6 awful unless i am doing it wrong!! When i make changes using the sliders using the touch setting, i find when i render then i have to do it all again because cs6 is not saving what i am changing in the timeline. Please help...

I just loaded Audition, but when I try to edit an audio track from Captivate the "edit in adobe audi

I just loaded Audition, and already had Captivate on my computer. I'm trying to edit an audio track from Captivate, so I go to Audio>Edit>Slide. But, the window that comes up does not have the "Edit in Audition" button activated. The button is faint, thus doesn't work. How do I sync these two programs so I can edit a Captivate Audio file in Audition?

From the captivate help file:
You can use Adobe Audition to edit audio when you want to go beyond the audio editing options available in Adobe Captivate. For example, to apply filters or remove noise, you need an advanced audio editor such as Adobe Audition. You can either edit the audio files from slides or batch process by opening multiple files in Adobe Audition using the Library panel.
The changes reflect in Adobe Captivate library and the associated slides where the audio files are being used. The saved files are reimported to Adobe Captivate with the slide associations intact.
Note: This feature is available only in Adobe Captivate that is installed as a part of Adobe eLearning Suite.
I think that the last line probably answers your question....

Udio to my clip. When I bring it over it highlights the entire clip as opposed to adding it above or below. Then I can't edit the audio clip. HELP!!

Just discovered this nifty little bug myself today. Boy, Leopard is really bug city, I'm definitely regretting the upgrade. I was glad to find the 'show in mailbox' trick, although then once I went to re-send the message, it duplicated it for some reason and sent it twice, so now my business contact thinks I'm a moron because I sent him this super large attachment TWICE thanks to moronic Mail.app.
Another interesting thing though, is that after finding the email via 'show in mailbox' and opening it, it actually displayed the MP3 attachment as the old Tiger quicktime player (w/progress bar) as opposed to when I first composed the message and it would only display it as an icon. I thought they had just removed that feature for some reason, but nope! Another bug!

Live updating when editing audio

Fellas:
First of all, I think AA3 is nice. I've moved up from the ancient Cool Edit Pro a few weeks ago.
One thing that I don't like or can't find is in Cool Edit Pro, you could make an edit while the audio plays, remove a breath or stumble as the audio plays.
On AA3, you have to stop the audio to perform the edit. That slows me down! I can still select the part I want to edit out, I just have to stop the audio to edit it out.
Can anyone tell me where the toggle to turn that on is or IF IT EXISTS? It's NOT a deal breaker but, just something I might have to get used to, again...
Thanks!

Hi Skip,
I believe the behavior changed when our driver model switched to ASIO. It did require stopping the player in order to change the underlying data.
I agree with you and everyone else who feels it brings around a slowdown when editing. I'm not certain if it's something we can address, bound within the limitations of the hardware drivers, but I'm going to write up a feature request right now asking it to be, at the very least investigated, and best case scenario, resolved under the hood.

IMovie lags when editing video and audio

I just bought iMovie yesterday from the Mac App Store. I recorded a DJ set and wanted to edit my Video with better quality audio that i recorded seperately. I find that when editing my video and audio (Matching up audio), there is alot of lag. Especially when scrolling through the video to drag the audio to a certain point to get the audio in sync. This is very frustrating and i feel i just got cheated paying for iMovie 11 when it cant even do a simple job. Please help me resolve this. Thank you!

Hi
This is not easy in iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 -
What and how did You record the extra audio ? With what tool ?
To be able to keep audio in sync should be recorded with a device with TimeCode. Else it will be near to impossibly. Or extremely tedious even if FinalCut is used.
I would use FinalCut and keep original audio on track 1 and 2 - and the extra on track 3 and 4. Then Show Wave-form - then see if they can match up to each others.
But doing this in iMovie - is nearly impossibly.
IF AUDIO HAS - TimeCode - and there are no drop outs on video or audio then You should be able to exchange original audio with the extra recorded one in iMovie and even move it frame by frame (1/30 sec or 1/25 sec) - in FinalCut audio can be moved much more exact eg 1/100 sec or within a frame
(my miniDisc recorder - is FAR away from exact enough for this)

"Insert silence" won't work when editing audio

Greetings. Forgive me if this topic has been addressed
before. If anybody has experienced this issue and has a suggestion,
I'd be very grateful.
I'm relatively new to Captivate 2.0, as are my colleagues.
When editing audio in a .cp file, I often cannot insert silence at
the beginning or end of a clip. The flat silence appears on the
waveform, I click OK, I exit the editor as usual -- and the clip
plays back at its original length, with no silence. If I attempt to
insert silence in the middle of a clip -- no problem!
I hope I'm simply missing something obvious. Thanks in
advance for any help!

Well Jeannine8, you are close, but the reason your "fix"
works is because your recorded "silence" is probably white-noise,
not total silence. Allow me to explain please ...
Captivate does want to truncate (clip off) real (complete and
total) silence from the beginning or end of any waveform. So the
trick to adding silence to the beginning or end is to make sure the
silence actually contains *some* blip in the waveform (however
tiny). How to do that? Glad you asked!
1) In the Captivate WAV editor, insert your silence.
2) Now grab
any tiny, tiny piece of the audible waveform and copy it.
3) Then paste it to the very beginning of the waveform.
4) Last, use the "Volume" editor to reduce the volume below
human hearing level.
Note, if the "clip" you copied was extremely loud, you may
have to reduce the volume, close the volume control, then reopen it
and reduce it a 2nd time. This is because Captivate only allows you
to reduce volume to a minimum of 10% of the original.
All that said, I want to emphasize that "Jeannine8"'s fix
will normally work, and shows a lot of moxie ... so thanks,
"Jeannine8". And if opening the microphone and hitting the "Record"
button for a second or two in a semi-quiet room seems easier to
you, go for it. But if you know the reason
why it works, I think you will be happier in the long term.
Have a great day folks!

Best workflow for editing Logic Pro 8 regions/tracks in Soundtrack Pro?

I've searched for a solution for the below question in several forums and to no avail. Thanks in advance for any help!
What is the easiest workflow for editing Logic Pro 8 audio files with Soundtrack Pro 2? And I'm thinking of a process very similar to the Final Cut Pro timeline audio-to- Soundtrack Pro Audio File project workflow.
I'd imagine that a good amount of the time, I'd be editing regions rather than full audio files -- as in, once in a while, while mixing sessions that another engineer has tracked, I'll hear clicks and pops from pre-amps clipping; or I'll hear an air conditioner blower running or something.
Basically, I occasionally hear noise in the arrange window while mixing that I'd like to edit out with Soundtrack Pro, and I need to know the easiest way to send that audio clip to Soundtrack Pro and then back to Final Cut Pro.

Connecting your FS Mobile to powered speakers will not increase latency. Latency is simply the fixed amount of time it takes for your computer to process sounds. Once the sound is processed and available at the outputs of the FS Mobile, it can go anywhere; to a PA mixer, a separate monitor mixer, headphones, etc. One thing you will want to consider when playing live is to have a personal monitor very close to you and pretty loud. The reason being is that the physical distance between you and the main PA speakers will itself induce a type of latency since sound travels at about 1126 ft/sec or 1000 msec of delay for every 1126 feet. Adding this delay to your latency could make holding a groove or pitch for that matter nearly impossible. The delays add up pretty quickly. For example, if your speakers are say 50 feet away from you, you would likely have around 20 msec of delay right there. Add this to your system latency of 20 msec and your up to 40 msec which is like trying to play a rubber guitar underwater. Even if your PA speakers are closer, the delays add up quickly. So having that nice loud monitor right up next to you will insure that you only have to get the feel of your system latency.

How do you edit the audio files in the slideshow of my idvd project?

I have created a project in idvd and I dragged and dropped in the music files from the audio tab that I wanted - I selected multiple songs (2) and I hear them play just fine. The problem is that I want one song to play for a certain section of the photos and then I want the other song to start at a particular point. Why am I not able to edit the music in the slideshow and how can I do that?

iMovie is a good way to do this if your project is film based. If your using photos (slideshow) in iDVD, I would be inclinded to use GarageBand to edit the audio portion of your project (It may be just me, but whenever I've attempted to create a slideshow in iMovie, the photos look "grainy" to me, not as clear).
If you know the time of when you want your songs to change, you can adjust the length (time) of each song in GarageBand as well as fade in/fade out transition of the two or more songs. After saving, you then can access the saved audio mix via the audio tab in iDVD. (I'm making an assumption that one might be familiar enough with GarageBand to do this

How to start a workflow when a value in specific column is changed?

HI !!
I would like that my workflow will run only if a value on a specific colunm will change.
is there a way to do it without using a third colunm ?
thank you !
nikita.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to start a workflow when a value in specific column is changed.
When you create workflow, if you check the “start the workflow automatically when an item is changed”, the workflow will be started automatically once the item is edited.
In the other word, no matter which column we changed, the the workflow will be started automatically.
As a workaround, we can add condition or action to make the workflow excute the next step only if the value in specific column is changed.
There are two options to achieve it.
Use the “Wait for Field Change in Current Item" action”. If you add the action at the first, the workflow will excute the next step until the column is chaned to the specific value.
2. User the “If any value equals to value” condition. If you add the condition at the first, the workflow will excute the next step if the condition is satisfied.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best Regards,
Linda Li

How can I edit imported audio track? After selecting and deleting region and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted part! What am I doing wrong?

How can I edit imported audio track? After selecting and deleting region, and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted region!
What am I doing wrong?

After selecting and deleting region, and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted region!
What am I doing wrong?
How exactly are you doing this?
When I cut out a part of an audio region, then drag the remaining parts together, so they are touching, the track will skip the cut out section when playing the file. Also, if I select the remaining parts of the region and use the command "Edit > join regions". This will create a new audio file with the cut out part deleted.
You should see this prompt, when you are joining the regions:

Can you edit whole audio as one file?

I have done the bulk of transitions and mixing in final cut and just want to use soundtrack to eliminate some hiss and tiny bit of clean up can i send the audio as a complete file so I dont have to do multitrack and risk messing my mixes and transitions etc?

I do my complicated audio in Logic Pro, so I don't really understand Soundtrack Pro.
That said, if you want to apply one effect to the whole sequence in FCP,
you can nest the sequence:
1. Edit > Select All
2. Sequence > Nest (no need to mixdown audio if it's stereo)
3. Option-click on the nested Audio to open it in the Viewer.
4. Add your global effects.
Sweet!
Nesting is described in the FCS2 manual on page III-416.
It's a really useful technique. You can go back and
tweak the original edit, and the nested sequence will update.
BTW, when mixing digital audio, most folks set it to peak
around -12dB.
Note that if you have some clips that are too loud or soft,
it's best to adjust those clips' volumes, instead of squashing
the whole mix with a global limiter.
Finally, the best way to check if your mix levels are even
is to jump around to different locations of the timeline,
listening at a low level, making sure you can hear all the elements.
Sometimes the best way to even things out is to adjust the EQ
instead of the gain.
