Synchronization of multiple tracks

I have been working with Java Sound for around a month now and there is a glaring shortcoming: no synchronization for multiple tracks.
I am writing a multitrack recorder in which a recorded track can be played while the user is recording a new track. Both tracks can then be played simultaneously with the correct timing that was heard during the recording phase.
Is there a way to do this with JMF?

You can syncronize two or more controllers with JMF, and you can play multiple "tracks" of data simultaniously...but I can't guarentee that, in the end, you won't run into the same problems with JMF that you're having with JavaSound. There's a fundamental problem that, in order to play and record, you're using multiple threads and you have inherant delays between what the user hears and what the computer records.

I record multiple tracks (3-5) from real instruments and vocals. I want to send these files to a collaborator to add more tracks to, but Garageband wants to mix these down (which I don't want). How can I send the multiple tracks files to my friend?

I record multiple tracks of real instruments and vocals wth Garage Band. I want to share the file with a collaborator so he can add another instrument or two. I have not found a way to do this without the process mixing down the tracks. I don't want them mixed down like when I send them to Itunes. Also I can't seem to just attach a file directly to an email for sending purposes. I thought I saw a method to do this with software instruments, but how do you do it with real instruments? I've tried every process on the "export" list to try to accomplish this, without success. Thanks for any breakthrough advice on this!

As isteveus said - for large projects uploading to a server would be best.
Also I can't seem to just attach a file directly to an email for sending purposes.
But for completeness's sake , you cou can mail a project, if you ctrl-click the project and use "Compress xxx.band". This will compress the project and create a zip file, that you can mail (if it is not too large). But ask your friend for the maximal file size allowed as a mail attachment.
But whichever method you use to share your project, be sure you include all loops and instruments, if your friend does not have the same JamPacks installed. You can bundle the loops into the project by saving it as an archive. "File > Save as" and check the "Archive Project" option.
If this option should be disabled, you can force it to become active by editing your project slightly. It is only available, if the project needs saving.

Multiple tracks on a single processor

Hi,
Whenever I create an audio processor, the number of tracks is always one, that figures that I can only transmit a single codec, like gsm or ulaw. Say, i need a processor with multiple tracks in order to switch codecs dynamically during session. How can it be done? i've tried using ProcessorModel and feed it with multiple audio formats, but it would throw a CannotRealizeProcessor exception all the time. Any ideas?

I was waiting for someone to give you an answer on this because I'm curious if anyone has been able to do what you described...
Alas, from the extreme silence I assume nobody has been able to do what you describe. Personally, I think I would create a custom Codec that would incorporate the codecs I wanted to switch between and do it that way. You would have only one track but the codec would have to somehow know when to switch decoding/encoding methods. Presumably a payload change event or other programming event could trigger this. This is somewhat similar to how I've handled DTMF events with Ulaw data in the past.

Advice Needed: Filtering/Adding effects to multiple tracks

I'm writing a dance song, and at one point would like to apply a few filtering sweeps on selected drum tracks.
Which is the best way to do it? Is it to bounce down the tracks into an audio file, then apply the effects onto that file by itself, or is it better to route the multiple tracks to an effects bus?
I have been trying using a bus, but have found that as soon as I route the tracks to the bus, the is a change in the sound quality of the track (louder and sometimes slightly distorted), even without any plugins on the bus. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks.

How are you routing to a bus? If you are just using sends, then what's happeing is that the individual channels are going to the master output, and also being sent to a bus that is also going to the master output - this everything sent to that bus will get louder.
If you want to send a bunch of channels directly to a bus for insert processing, then change each channel's output to the bus, rather than the main output, so the individual channels only go to the mix via the bus, and not directly.
Or are you doing something different to that?

How do I extract multiple tracks from a CD into a single file in Audition CS6?

I use Audition to edit my Pastor's messages. The message CD is made with five minute tracks. I want to extract the tracks from the CD into a single file for editing and altering the track lengths. I have done this before in Audition CS6, but I haven't been able to find instructions for it. I only found a note stating this is available in AuditionCC.

I have discovered an answer to my problem. The way to bring multiple tracks into Audition CS6 from a CD is to use the FILE / OPEN APPEND / TO NEW command. This brings the separate tracks into a single file in Audition CD6. Thanks to everyone who commented.

Is there any way to change user operations on multiple tracks at once?

I have a complex project (99 tracks, dozens of menus and scripts). I need to make one version of this DVD for the end client (teenagers at health clinics) who will be forced to view it in a specified way, and another version for educators (staff at the clinics) who will be allowed to fast-forward and have access to a menu from which they can jump to different points in the DVD.
I have different menus to serve as "first play" for these different versions so that I can easily switch between versions when burning disc images, and I have set up GPRMs to make navigation different for the two versions automatically. My problem now is that I want to disable forward scan, next program, root menu, and title menu for the client version. As far as I can tell, I have to do that independently for every single track and menu. Bleah. This is especially annoying since the DVD is still in development, so I am continuing to change small things and will need to keep both versions up to date as I do.
Is there any way to select multiple tracks/menus and change user operations on all of them? Or any other work-around or script that could do it? I thought this would be a perfect task for the automator, but I'm not very familiar with that application and don't know how (or if it's possible) to create new actions other than the ones that are available.
Any ideas?
thanks!
Julie

Thanks. But the disc inspector only appears to let me change things like where the title menu button takes you, not detailed user operations. I have pretty much given up on this being anything other than a giant hassle, but if anybody knows whether a script could do this, I would be eternally grateful.

How do I select multiple tracks in iTunes?

It's like a hold down control and something else, and then drag the curser to select the songs you want selected. I'm not sure what this shortcut is. Again, I want to select multiple tracks on iTunes so I can move files or delete them. Simply selecting all won't work because the files are different names. Anyone know this shortcut? Thanks!

If you click a track, hold down shift, and then click another one, it will select all the tracks between those two. Holding down command (the apple key) will allow you to select/deselect individual tracks.

Fast/most efficient way to cut out of multiple tracks at the same time

I try to select by dragging around but it lights up the entire length of each tract- I can use the scissors to manually cut the tracks but there has to be a better way...any ideas?
Thanks, Don

I don't know if this is most efficient but here's my "home grown" way:
I place the section locator bars located at the top in the area I want to cut. You can fine tune this by zooming in close. I then right click on the track and use the split at locator function. I then can cut, drag or copy just that new, separate area. If you want to cut multiple tracks you can leave the locators where they are and repeat on all the tracks you want to split. I haven't tried selecting multiple tracks, and I'm not at my computer to try it right now.
Maybe there's a quicker way but that has worked for me!

JAR Files for multiple tracks

Hi All,
We have a scenario where we need to provide JAR files which needs to be accessible by all the tracks.Is there any solution which is being followed.
In the current landscape we have built external library DC's for each track and trying to access the JARS. But the limitation where we are struck up is this DC is being only accessible to DC's in that track but not to the remaining tracks.
Is there a global solution where we i can make my JAR file can be made accessible to multiple tracks.
Thanks & Regards,
Lokesh Kamana.

Hi,
Thats a good idea.
I have a SC component created in SLD and create a track for this and copy the ext lib DC to this track.
Define outbound connections for moving transports.
But how to create an SCA file for my DC.
ANS:-Just by clicking on assembly get a SCA file for this track and as outbound connection is defined this SCA gets moved to my track import that to all my tracks where i carry out my development.
While moving the transports to other environments do i need to move this SCA file also along with them.
Please let me know whether my understanding is correct or not.
Thanks & Regards,
Lokesh Kamana.

HT1451 when editing info, how do i select multiple items to edit a group? For example, changing the artist name on multiple tracks at once?

when editing info, how do i select multiple items to edit a group? For example, changing the artist name on multiple tracks at once?

Same way you select multipl items anywhere else.
Hold ctrl and click the items you want.
If they are in consecutive order, click the 1st then Shift click the last.

How to do one comp on multiple tracks..

I may be missing the an obvious feature, but I can't work out how to apply the same comp to multiple tracks. I.e. I record an instrument with more then one mic and am left with several tracks of the same take however from different microphone and positions. I then comp the best take, however I want my comp to be the same on each of the individual tracks. Please could someone help?
Regards,
t

I believe I may have answered this before, but anyway: the trick is to make the tracks part of the same group. In the group settings, chose only Regions selection (Edit). Now, when you edit one track, the other tracks in the same group will follow.
Hope this helped!

Trying to record multiple tracks (24) in Garageband with 3 presonus firestudio devices daisy-chained together.

Please help !! I can record multiple tracks (8) on a single presonus firestudio, but now I'm trying to expand the number of tracks to 24 by daisy-chaining three firestudio devices.
The three units will sync up properly, and Garageband detects all of the input channels, but the recording doesn't pick up the input signals for the 2nd or 3rd device. It only picks up the signals from the first device. I read the manual and daisy-chained the devices by serial number (lowest to highest).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

you'll need to create an aggregate device:

How to add artwork to multiple tracks

I am having trouble adding artwork to multiple tracks of the same album. I highlight all tracks so the info comes up for the entire album. When I drag the artwork into the box it bounces back onto the desktop and won't add like it used to. I can go through and add art to individual tracks, but that is a very slow process. I am sure I am just missing something.

Instead of dragging artwork into box, double click on box. This opens a window where you can find and select the artwork.

Cannot select Get Info for multiple tracks

I just updated to Lion 10.7.3 and iTunes 10.6.1 and imported my Leopard iTunes Library. I can Get Info on individual tracks but when I shift select or command select multiple tracks the iTunes window turns gray and nothing can be selected. iTunes just freezes until I press the Escape key. So far, everything else works as expected - the only problem is selecting multiple tracks (which worked fine for me on previous OS and iTunes versions).
I haven't found any reports of similar problems so maybe I'm doing it wrong.
Any suggestions?

I solved my own problem - the last time I used iTunes was on a two monitor system. I still have the second monitor connected but it was turned off and the iTunes Get Info window for MULTIPLE selected items was opening on the second monitor. When I did a Get Info on a single selection, the window appeared on the main monitor normally - behavior which never made me think that multiple items would show up in a different window on the turned off monitor.

Moving multiple tracks & group hiding...

There are a lot of reviews on Logic 9, all of which focus on Flex time, but there are some simple questions that I would like to ask that I can't seem to get out of any review, perhaps someone here knows. Hardly any of the stores here have Logic 9 installed so I can't test...
1) Is it possible to move multiple tracks in arrange at the same time? I.e. shift select or lasso select 2 or more tracks and move them in arrange?
2) On the new group tracks dialog (with the list of all groups, etc.) I noticed that you can "Hide" groups. However, is there some keypress + click option that allows you to "Show" a group that you've selected? So an example would be, every track is shown, and I just want to "Show" my drum group, would I have to hide all, then find the drum group and uncheck it?
3) Is there any way to show both the L&R waveforms on a stereo audio file? Or are we still limited to the one waveform? Maybe I just don't know how to show this, it might be something simple.
4) Is there a "Jump to grid" sort of option like in cubase or PT? Basically, if you are in arrange, and you click in the bars beats area, can the current position jump to the closest grid location? I don't know how else to explain this, hopefully someone here knows what I mean.
5) The new click zones looks like what the doctor ordered, but is there a click zone at the top of the waveform to control the region volume ala Cubase/Nuendo/PH Record? I know that you can do this on the volume automation lane, or insert something to control gain pre inserts and automate that, but I just want to know if the click zones included that.

nobody has an answer to these?
