Synching iMovie in Logic Express

Hi All,
I'm trying to record an iMovie of a final vocal track of a logic express audio project. I can record the audio portion of that track in Logic, but I can not figure out how to synchronize the iMovie component. What is the easiest way to "move" the movie so that it starts at the precise cue? Or is it better to somehow synchronize the recording of both applications (if possible)? I'm needing some direction....anyone? Thank you
Gaston

Hi Fox and thx for the reply. I'm not sure I've got this right but I can't find any global video tracks...I am working off Logic Express version 7.2.3 (961.9). I've been exporting a bounce to iMovie through iTunes and there seems to be a time misalignment probably from the one second add to the front of the song at itunes. I've been able to better synchronize the movie (vocal track) within logic but have no way to share that. I'd rather finish from iMovie by synching the audio with the recorded vocal movie but have not found the means to synch in iMovie itself, just in logic...Does this make any sense at all? Will keep looking for that "global video track" in logic too but I just cant seem to find it. Any help would be appreciated greatly! Thank you,
Gaston

EQ ing iMovie HD audio with Logic Express

I realize that this question pertains to both iMovie HD and Logic Express. I thought it best to try this forum because it deals with audio.
I have some footage was taken of a Jazz trio I play with. I imported one of the songs into iMovie. Everything is cool but the sound. It was the sound was recorded with the video camera's built in mic which was too close to the cymbals. I would like to be able to import the audio from iMovie into Logic express and then do a bit of EQ ing and perhaps a bit of compression.
I think that I know where to fine the audio iMovie audio files once I've extracted them from the clips. What I was wondering about is.......
What do I need to know as far as the audio sampling rates from iMovie to Logic Express go? Do I need to set up Logic Express in such a way that it matches the sampling rate of iMovie? What is the sampling rate of iMovie. In chapter 4 of the Martin Sitter book there are some things about sampling rates and how they are converted automatically to work in LE but I was not sure if I would then need to save the new audio file in a certain sampling rate so that I would wok in iMovie.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Morris

Unable to load mp3 files recorded using Logic Express into iMovie 8

I'm having issues getting mp3 files created with Logic Express to load into iMovie...
Now when you export audio files from Logic it's usually an AIFF file...so when I play the file in iTunes...I choose the option to "create mp3 version"
Now when iTunes does this, it creates an MPEG version which I assume won't load into iMovie...mp3s only, so I drag it to my desktop and then it's given an mp3 tag but it still won't load in iMovie 8
Any insight on this issue would be appreciated...

iMovie can handle MP3, AAC, AIFF.

Logic Express to Pro Tools for mixdown

Hi!
Really sorry if this topic has been covered before, but all I can find on the various Logic boards I know of are ways of doing this in Logic Pro that aren't available in Express.
My band recorded an EP in Logic Express, which was great, but the engineer we'd like to use to mix it is Pro Tools-only. I know Pro Tools can load up AIF files, but the problem I have is that each track has different start and end points. If I gave him the individual tracks as is, we'd be spending all day synching them up.
I've thought of two ways I can prepare the files for him. Please let me know if they're ********.
1) Setting the fader at unity (0) and bouncing each track individually to a 24 bit WAV or AIF file while the rest are muted.
2) Manually cutting and pasting "fake" beginnings and endings of audio information to each track, then using the Glue tool to create a new, merged track. This way, I figure, each track should be in perfect synch with the rest.
Any help appreciated. Thanks! Rufe.

Hi,
half ok,
bounce one by one to a folder (mute the other tracks) from the start to the finish, PCM 24 bit (44.1 if you going to make cd's), WAV, SDII or AIFF,
that way, all files start and finish in the same spot, Inside Protools you cut the silence parts and don't forget to place a dither plug-in in the master-fader.

Jorge

Final Cut to Logic Express 8, back to Final cut?

My buddy uses an older version of Final Cut Pro, v4 maybe? I forget. Anyway, he needs to work on the audio track, it's got some pops and glitches. I was thinking of having him export the file as a QT somehow, and I could open it in my copy of Logic Express 8. I could experiment with plugins and correction tools in LE8, then when fixed, he could somehow take the file back for final editing.
Is this possible with LE8? I know it's supposed to work, but is it worth all the effort?

Hi Guys ,
i had so much problems with this but figured it out after testing and checking settings and reading some tutorials . I wanted to share what i did simply in case it may help some one with a similar or same problem.
this is whats i did
After Exporting Audio from Final Cut :
Now In Logic > Preferences > Global > Video > go to bottom right hand corner click > Video project settings > Audio – and change Sample rate to 48 khz
Save and bounce file at 48khz . Now import the file into Final Cut Pro where it should Synch perfect!
Hope this may help someone
cheers

How to create an ABAP Query with OR logical expression in the select-where

Hi,
In trying to create an ABAP query with parameters. So it will select data where fields are equal to the parameters entered. The default logical expression is SELECT.. WHERE... AND.. However I want to have an OR logical expression instead of AND.. how can I attain this??
Please help me on this.. Points will be rewarded.
Thanks a lot.

Question Man

Hi Bhupal, Shanthi, and Saipriya,
Thanks for your replies. But that didn't answer my question.
Bhupal,
You cannot just replace AND with OR in an ABAP QUERY. ABAP QUERY is a self generated SAP code. You'll just declare the tables, input parameters and output fields to be displayed and it will create a SAP standard code. If you'll try to change the code and replace the AND with OR in the SAP standard code, the system will require you to enter access key/object key for that particular query.
Shanthi,
Yes, that is exactly what need to have. I need to retireve DATA whenever one of the conditions was satisfied.
Saipriya,
Like what I have said, this is a standard SAP code so we can't do your suggestion.
I have already tried to insert a code in the ABAP query (there's a part there wherein you can have extra code) but that didn't work. Can anybody help me on this.
Thanks a lot.
Points will be rewarded.

Dynamic Logical Expressions in ABAP: IF (lt_cond)...

is it possible to have a dynamically constructured logical expression?
I have a condition I need to use in an IF, but I want to avoid hard-coding, so I dynamicallybuild it.
for a simple example:
CONCATENATE ITAB-f1
 'EQ'
 varValue
 INTO lt_cond SEPARATED BY SPACE.
IF (lt_cond).
WRITE:/ 'Success'.
ENDIF.
Is it possible to do this?

I am trying to use the macro to check an IF (cond).
cond is a dynamically constructed condition.
The bold part of my code way below is my problem area.
I'm having no trouble getting COND constructed. But I am having trouble between my macro and the processing as my error always tells me I'm calling my macro without 2 actual parameters. Or when I DEFINE my macro with &1 instead of &1 &2, I get 'incorrect logical expression'.
I've read all the documentation I can find on this, but i still cannot figure out why my macro is not processing.
Code is lengthy, but if you can, please help.
I'm anticipating the output to be 'FAILURE' at this point. I just want the condition COND to be processed.

Logical expression( = , =, , ) in read statement

Hi All,
Is it possible to use the logical expressions like (<= , >=, <, >) in the read statement?

While you can only use "=" with the READ statement, you can use the READ statement to position the cursor at the first record you want and then use the LOOP with your operators to get only those records you want (assuming standard tables that have been correctly sorted). This can be very efficient.
There have been many discussion about this in the forums. Please search and you'll see them.

Logical expressions in Link editor

Hi all,
Is it possible to define logical expressions (using AND, OR) in the Link editor of BLS or are we left with only using the Conditional Action block? Thanks...

Yes it is.
For AND : <<Condition1>> && <<Condition2>>
For OR : <<Condition1>> || <<Condition2>>
You can use the double ampersand (&&) for AND and double pipe (||) for OR

Help! Logic Express 8 does not work on my Mac Pro with OS 10.5.1

Hello, I hope somebody around here is able to help me.
I have got a new Mac Pro with one Quad core processor since yesterday and it works fine except for Logic Express 8 (version 8.0.1). Whenever I start Logic the program crashes as soon as "Core Audio initialisieren" is shown in the display. I have tried to reinstall the program, deleted it completely and installed it again. It is always the same.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? What can I do about it? I am a musician and I really need Logic Express to run.

Confused. 10.6 is DVD based. Only Lion and above are downloads.
And best install is not to upgrade. Do a clean install - on another drive.
Corrupt partition tables or bad sectors or no room to adjust the partitions or the directory is corrupt.
ERASE the drive if Repair Disk didn't work.

Loops in Logic Express

First of all I best say that I am new to Logic Express and Garageband, in fact the Mac thing so forgive the basic nature of this post. I have had some funny goings on with my mac since a failed software install so I decided to rebuild everything including the OS. Having re-installed Garageband and Logic Express I find most of the loops are missing. Some are there but all drum loops and others have gone. I tried to look up options to see if there is a tick box to install them but nothing. If I look in library, the loop directory is also missing. Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks
Tetleyted

Thanks for the reply. took a look but the directory structure as follows: HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops (Apple doesn't exist. I have a feeling that garageband and Logic Express hasn't completed the install. I have tried to re-run it but the same thing happened - no loops. Any suggestions welcomed.

Some organs don't play in new Logic Express files after JamPacks installed

After loading only the instruments from the Symphony Orchestra and World Music GarageBand Jam Packs, I lost the ability to hear most of the organs available in Logic Express and all of the organs available in GarageBand after inserting them into Logic Express tracks. These same organ sounds still play in any Logic Express file set up prior to the installation of the JamPacks and they continue to play in GarageBand. Can an uninstall/reinstall of Logic Express 7.2.3 be a fix for this or is there an easier way to return the lost instruments to Logic Express?
1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) Midisport 4x4, iControl

The loss of instrument sounds in Logic Express had nothing to do with the installation of GarageBand JamPacks. The midi channel setting in the Inspector box of the Arrange window in Logic Express needed to be set to channel 1 to get midi data from other than channel 1 to play some of the inserted CoreAudio instruments. I don't understand what's going on but now I'm able to get the instruments that would not play.

Importing from iMovie to FC Express

I have attepted to import AVCHD files from my Canon XA20 Camcorder to FC Express with no success. I then attepted to import the same files into iMovie with success.
I have 2 questions.
1. How can I import AVCHD files direct int FC Express.
2. To import from iMovie to FC Express I cannot find where iMovie video file are on the system. In FCE you can nominate a drive for the files to be put.

That is PAL 25 fps?
The data rate should be fine.
AVCHD is possible to ingest directly to FCE.
Make sure you set the comatching Easy Setup BEFORE trying to capture.
Use Log and transfer over USB cable.

How to connect my Alesis to Logic Express Pro, running on an Intel Mac Mini

Hi,
would anyone possibly have an idea how to connect my Alesis Multimix 8 USB to Logic Express 7,2?
The Alesis has a USB out. But I don't see anything in the L/E documentation on USB connections.
I'm hopeful there's another way.
Thanks very much.
-peter

LE documentation won't give instructions for use of 3rd party equipment, except possibly generically.
Have you downloaded the latest drivers? If it is a USB item, perhaps you are meant to plug in the USB cable rather than wishing it was something else.

Logic Express wont open Because of mountain lion!
