STP2 - Exporting MP3's

hey!! i know in the original STP you can't save as an mp3, but i read somewhere that STP2 does MP3 importing AND EXPORTING!!!
from apple's sales pitch:
"Export mixes as AIFF, WAV, NeXT, SDII, MP3, AAC/Podcast, Dolby Digital Professional (AC-3), or using Compressor"
i can't still can't see anyway to save/export a file as an mp3... i'm i just being thick?? has anyone one else seen how to do this?
cheers!!
john~

thanks for the reply!! the export option however is grayed out!?!
i only use stp to edit audio files, not multi track projects, is this feature only available when exporting a project??
an example: i finish writing a track in logic, export the project as a nice hq aiff, drop it into soundtrack pro to run it through my t-racks mastering preset, save another aiff, then it would be nice to also save it as an mp3 to email to people. is this still not possible?
it seems a bit mad that you can bounce a whole complex project to an mp3, but not a simple audio file!?
any advice would be appreciated

Problem exporting MP3 to GB

Hello people!
I have problems exporting MP3 files from Itunes into GB. I can import the file to GB, I can see the name of the file, but there is not sound, the box of the seconds is empty. Do you know how can I solve this?
Thanks a lot,
Julio.

Exported MP3s Too Quiet

When I export a song the volume of the exported MP3 is like at least 25% quieter, and I can't figure out a way to stop that. In GarageBand it is at a reasonable level, and increasing the volume of the project distorts the sound.
Is there anyway to retain the volume of playback in GarageBand without distorting the song?

there's no "push button" solution, it's learning Mastering:

Export MP3 form Final Cut?

Hi, Is it possible to export MP3 directly from Final Cut? Any third party plug-ins or suggestions? Thanks

I don't think so. I use Cleaner. You can use ITunes. Check out versiontracker.com. I'm sure there are some freeware/shareware utilities out there that will do it.

QT Pro 7 - Not exporting MP3 from ANY format.

Here are links to images showing the problem.

http://t3st.com/qt/QT_errorscreen.jpg
When I try to export anything, I repeat ANYTHING as an MP3 I get an error screen. (mov, avi, mp4, aif, etc..)
I noticed that my export to MP3 options are a little slim. Ideas?
For now taking the files and opening them in iTunes to convert works, but I'd rather not have to hack things to make them work.
Thanks.

You appear to be using a third-party plug-in or codec to enable the MP3 export since to the best of my knowledge Apple doesn't supply an MP3 codec with QuickTime. The only Apple-supplied solution is iTunes.
Perhaps you need to go back to the third-party solution provider or to the customer support area for that particular product. If it's unsupported open source or freeware then you may be out of luck, but it could be useful if you identified the source of your MP3 codec.

Exported mp3 file size is huge!

Does anyone know how to control the size of an exported song? For a 5 minute track I'm getting a 60Mb MP3!! I'm guessing this is done by setting the a different bit rate for the exported song but can't find any options in Garageband to do this.
With such huge file sizes it makes it difficult to share the song through my website.

No, you're not getting a 60 MB MP3, but a 60 MB AIFF file, and that's the regular size for uncompressed audio files. The bitrate in GB is fixed, and you wouldn't want to change it. Instead, convert the file into an MP3 or AAC in iTunes.
(Come back if you need help with doing that.)

Export mp3 to usb

I know A way to do what I am about to ask. It's just painful.
Ultimate Objective - export a playlist to a USB stick to play in my truck radio. I would like the final product to be in the same format as an MP3 CD (i.e., with folders, etc).
Current Status - I know I can drag the playlist to the USB and it will dump all of the files into one folder (ROOT). The problem is that my truck stereo only recognizes 100 songs per folder. So I get the first 100 songs and that is it.
A way to do this - create MP3 CDs and then copy them to the USB stick. That is very painful due to the fact that I have over 6GB of music that I want to end up on my USB stick.
What I'm wondering is if there is any way to get iTunes to burn to a folder (instead of a CD). That way, I could just burn a series of folders on my local drive. Then I could just copy those to the USB stick.
Something else that I thought of. Does anyone know of an app or script that will take a group of MP3 files and sort them into folders based on artist/album/whatever.
Thanks for any ideas that you can give me.

iTunes can burn the Folder by Album to CD. This eliminates having to go into your Music Folder and manually do things.
How to Burn an MP3 Folder w/ iTunes
Put an empty CD in your CD/DVD burner
In iTunes select File >> New Playlist (or Ctrl-N)
Click on Music and drag the songs/albums to the new playlist you created
Click on the new playlist and then click on the Album column header until it says Album by Artist [1]
(If you don’t click on the Album column then the MP3 CD will be created with all of the songs in one folder. It’s better to create it with one folder per album because then you can use the next folder feature in your car / stereo to switch albums on the MP3 CD).
5. Right click on the new playlist and select Burn Play List to Disc
To help with your other questions, take a peek at http://www.mulle-kybernetik.com/znek/public/en/default/software/iTunesFS/index.h tml
It's only for MAC Users but that can solve a lot of your problems. This puts your playlists into the Finder view by folder.

CD cover art gone when exporting mp3

Hi. My girlfriend's home computer doesn't have an internet connection so I used my iMac to import several of her CDs to iTunes, placing all the songs on a special playlist. Then I went ahead and burned an mp3 CD. When I import the mp3 files to her iTunes there is no album artwork, the CD covers are simply gone. Is there a special way to export the files so that the CD covers are also exported? We are using iTunes 7.5. Thanks,
Cesar

How to export MP3 from iTunes to sD card

My car radio has an sD slot and can play MP3 files. How do I export from iTunes to an sD card in MP3 format?
Thanks,
John

Insert the card into a card reader and connect it to your Mac. Open iTunes and when the card is mounted on the desk top highlight the songs you want and drag them from the iTunes to the card icon.
If the songs in iTunes aren't in MP3 Format you'll need to convert them before dragging them to your card. You can use iTunes to convert any copy protection free songs in your library another format. When you convert a song in iTunes it will be converted to the format that you have set to import your CDs in. Converting creates a second copy of the song in the format you have chosen which gives you the opportunity to either keep or delete the original. If you are using iTunes 8 go to Edit>Preferences>General and click on Import Settings,, Change your Import format to MP3 Encoder for example and choose the Setting or "bit rate" you want. Go back to your library and highlight the songs you want to convert and go to the Advanced menu at the top of your iTunes window and choose "Create MP3 version": iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format
One exception to this are standard copy protected songs (if you haven't upgraded to iTunes Plus versions) purchased from the iTunes Music Store which can't be directly converted due to the DRM (Digital Rights Management) copy protection. However you can burn these to an Audio CD which will work like any regular CD.

Can't export MP3 audio from Premiere Elements 9

I want to export the audio from my movie. The File, Export option appears to be unavailable, regardless of what I do; I saw elsewhere on the forum that all exporting is now done through the Share tab, and referring to PE8, the post recommended the "share to computer" tab. Under advanced options, I set the audio to be exported as an MP3, with no video. However, the "advanced" button leads to a screen with 3 tabs: "Format," "Video," and "Audio." I can make those changes under the "Audio" tab with no problem, and because I have chosen to export only the audio, there is no information under the "video" tab. The problem is that the "Format" tab only gives me two options, ".flv" and ".fl4" or something like that, and the resulting file appears to be a 7 second long, blank and silent video, played by Windows Live Movie Maker. How can I get my audio exported?

Are you using version 8 or version 9? It's hard to tell because you reference both.
In version 9, if you go to the Share tab and select the Computer option, you'll be taken to a screen with seven output options.
Audio wil be listed as your last option. (You do have to click on the Audio listing to select it.) and MP3s are certainly among the options listed on the Preset menu.
If you can't see it, you need to scroll down or resize your panels -- or your computer monitor may not be large enough. But it's there.

MP3 + Flash: exporting MP3's from/out of flash

Hello
I am wondering if anyone knows if you can or if it is
possible to output MP3's from flash.
For example, If I were to build a music maker in flash, one
that lets me put sound bytes along a timeline to create a song,
then later save the song and ultimately export the file out as an
MP3 file.
Is this possible to do?
Has anyone done it?
Is there a solution out there?
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Chris

Sounds like you are trying to use a hammer to screw in a
screw.
You want a sound/music editing program for this. Garageband
would probably
fit the bill for you.

How to Exporting MP3's for Transcription?

How do I export audio from a video file (Dvc Pro HD 59.94fps) to an Mp3 in such a way that the time-code matches the original video file?
I have been asked to create MP3's to be sent out for transcription. It is easy enough to send the video to compressor and covert to MP3 but the time-code on the Mp3 doesn't match Is it even possible to make the time-code match so that when the transcriber is done there will be a time-coded transcript?
I am running Final Cut Studio 2

Even if you export to aiff, I don't believe the format supports a timestamp. You'll probably have to create an audio-only quicktime file, which actually will allow you to use mp3 compression on the audio if you want, or a WAV file, which supports a timestamp. Wave export is available with a quicktime conversion export from FCP
Also consider that it's easy to make your sequence start at 00:00:00:00 to make it match the mp3, if that works for your workflow, thought there might be other reasons not to do this.
Hope this helps

Importing and exporting mp3 files

I'm able to import mp3 files into iMovie and edit them but when I want to "share" this edited mp3 by exporting out of iMovie, it makes me save it with an .mov tag. I can't keep it as an mp3. This is a problem for me because when I play .mov files on my web site, it shows an entire black video screen instead of the little audio scroll bar I want with .mp3's. Any advice? Thanks

According to Grant
mp3's must be converted to AIFF format before they can be edited. So iMovie imports and converts the mp3 to AIFF. You then need to go to File>Share and choose Quicktime>Expert Settings and click the Share button. Then in the next dialog box choose Export>Sound to AIFF. Then to convert the file to mp3 import it into iTunes with MP3 set to your importing preference(iTunes>Preferences>Importing>MP3 encoder.
I'm trying to convert a movie into mobile phone format so I can display it on my mobile. My version of iMovie has the mobile 3G format to save to, but seems not to allow mp3 as an option for the audio, so the mobile, which requires mp3 for audio, shows the video and not the audio. Grant's trick above converts the audio OK, but leaves out the video. What can one do? Will upgrading to QuickTime Pro help? Is this another useful thing Apple have not bothered to do, just as they don't bother to include file transfer to mobiles (available for PCs in Mobile Phone Tools) in iSync?

Exporting Mp3

Is there anyway to export your garageband projects as an MP3 file? Right now all my projects for my macbookpodcast are being exported as AIFF. I looked everywhere for an option but have found none. Right now I have to take the AIFF files and convert them into MP3's in itunes but I really wanna skip that step.
Thanks
Jason

that is the only way.

Clipping on all exported mp3s

I've been using Garageband for over two years. All of a sudden, I've started having problems with clipping on pretty much every mp3 file I export. I've tried pulling the master track volume down as far as possible, but there is still clipping even when the track itself is barely audible. Is this a software problem, or is it a problem with my soundcard? If the latter, will AppleCare replace my soundcard?
Thanks a bunch!

Christoph Drösser wrote:
First thing would be to turn the auto-normalize off so you have control over your exporting level.
I was thinking about the Auto-Normalize but didn't think you could get clipping when using it. I know it can bring levels up as well as down but I thought it was designed to keep things from clipping.
It is always good advice to not use it at all, as far as I'm concerned.
