Tempo changing audio files

What is the best way to slow down or speed up audio in Logic 8?
follow tempo isnt always available,
Hope someone can help,
Cheers
Bongolian

Hey,
I'm not sure about L8, but in L7 the follow tempo is only availabe if the audio was recorded in that particular song, (meaning not Imported).
Easy solution:
Bounce down the audio track and then use the bounced track in your song. The follow tempo will be available.
Cheers

Is it possible to edit/change audio files in a published html5 file?

Is it possible to edit/change audio files in a published html5 file?

Theoretically, YES, but they would need to be in exactly the same format and have the same filename. Why would you be wanting to do this? If the new files are not the same playing length, this could potentially throw out any synchronisation with other elements in the presentation.

May I change audio file format once CD are ripped within iTunes library?

I configured iTunes to store audio under .vaw format but after ripping 1/5 of my CDs I realize that, after synchro, 50% of my iPod memory becomes full.
So I'd like to known if it's possible to convert audio files already stored in iTunes library, I don't want to ripp once again my CDs.
Yes I'm lazy...

By .vaw do you mean .wav?
Yes, you can select the .wav files and use the "convert selection to" (may have changed with newer versions of itunes) to a compressed format such as AAC or MP3. This will leave the original unchanged and add a new file in the different format to your library. You can then delete the .wav files, or leave them,

Changing audio file locations within I-tunes

How can I move files out of the music folder and into the audio books folder within the library?
Specifically, I purchased several MLK and JFK speech files. Most appear in the music list, although a couple appear in the audiobook list. I would like them all to appear in the audio book list. If I attempt to drag and drop it doesn't work despite the fact that the computer indicates this is possible.
Any ideas? Thank you.

See if works.

Julio, it works, but the files marked as AUDIOBOOK disappear and don't appear in an AudioBooks folder, nor can they be found with "Search"
Try it, put an MP3 file into iTunes, use the procedure to mark it as an Audiobook, then try to find it.
Is there supposed to be an AudioBook folder, like there is Music, Movies, Podcasts? in iTunes?

Changing audio files

I got a bunch of aduio books, however they are not formated to play as audio books and play as music instead. How do I change them to go into the audiobooks section of my ipod and play like audio books? So that I can continue from where I left off.

Ctrl+click the audiobook you want to change. (or +i). It should bring up a window. Look through the options and click the one that says music or the 3rd one from the right. Choose what to you want it to be categorized by. Choose audioboook. Or you can make a playlist called audio books and just throw the audio books in there.

How do i tempo sync audio files

In ableton this is retardedly easy. Why must it be so mysterious in Logic?

Not 100 percent sure of the question but have you reviewed this tutorial http://support.apple.com/kb/VI253

Straightening up audio files...

hey there...
just wanted to know if anyone had any other way of straightening up tempos of audio files?...
i know in cubase you can just click "straighten up tempo" and any audio files like vocals etc will automatically go to the tempo that the track is it to...
the way i do it at the minute is highlight the audio file and then click time stretch to markers but i was wondering if there was any other ways to do this similar to the cubase way?...
thanks in advance! : )

Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI across tempo change

Audio was recorded through a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 before GB updated itself. Now any audio file that runs across a tempo change automation is painfully distorted and throws this error (With assorted different sample rates depending on when GB decides to throw up a dialogue box.)
I've tried switching the output back to core audio but that isn't helping.
Am I going to have to rerecord all these parts of audio or is there some way to make GB remember what it was doing with its sample rates?
This is on OSX 10.9.5 on a retina MBP, Garageband 10.0.3. It was working fine before the update.

try deleting all midi instruments and the metronome object from your environment if you don't need them..

MS 2.1 'Does not support importing files containing tempo changes' message

OK, so I've just loaded up the 2.1 upgrade and opened up a couple of existing concerts, and I get the following message:
+File contains tempo changes+
+One or more of the files you are importing contains tempo change markers. This version of mainstage does not support importing files with tempo changes.+
It's a bit of a problem as the dialogue box appears several times during loading, and I have to click 'OK' every time, which adds to the length of time it takes to load up the concert (something I do several times during the course of my set).
I'm not using any MIDI stuff, just acoustic and electric guitar plus vocal channel strips and playback channels.
I've tried out some of my backing tracks, which have a ralletando at the back end, and they still seem to slow down properly (which isn't surprising, as they are audio files), and I've also tried setting all the sets back to the concert tempo, which hasn't stopped the issue occurring.
Any thoughts, anyone?

Hi Blueberry
Well, if you mean I put a tempo curve at the end of some of my audio files in Logic, in order to slow down at the end of the song, then, yes, I did do that. However, that still works in MS2.1, and anyway, why would that no longer be allowed, as that is an essential musical function. Also, if the upgrade meant I had to re-do the exporting nearly 200 backing tracks, them I'm afraid it would be back to 2.01 for me.
Furthermore, I tried starting MS up in 32 bit, and that didn't make any difference either.
As it is, this problem is (so far) only an inconvenience as it takes longer for me to load a new concert. What I'd like to understand is what does it refer to? and how can I prevent it showing this message?
Thanks

How do I find the tempo of imported audio files?

I import music tracks from iTunes to record voice/guitar and want to be accurate in the tempo..
Diego

GarageBand does not show you the tempo of imported sound files. You have to count it out yourself. If you do not have a utility that will help you count, like Transscribe or Melodyne, cut a section of 8 (or 16) measures out of your recording and then change the tempo of your project, until this section fits exactly 8 or 16 measures in the timeline. This will give you rough idea of the average tempo, but usually your imported audio will have tempo changes, so I'd recommend to fine-tune the tempo locally using the tempo automation curve of the "Master" track.

How do I find the tempo of a audio file?

How do I find the tempo of a imported audio file (stereo track song)
in Logic Pro 7.

my way is the old way.
move your file to the end of the song. (make sure SPL is at the beginning of the region)
open sample window.
open tempo list.
set new tempo and slide the tempo until you see the bar display at the top change position and the down beat of the audio file is underneath the next full bar.
hope this makes sense.
you might need to find the next down beat by listening to and then cutting the region at the down beat. that way when you open the saple editor it will be able to see where the down beat is.

Tempo change in imported OMF file

Hello folks,
I was able import a project (OMF) that I did with Cubase SX (Windows) into LP8. All audio tracks imported successfully. Project was done at 145 BPM. All audio was recorded at that tempo. Now in Logic Pro 8 tempo is 120 and if i try to change it to 145, all audio files are overlapped and things go upside down.
I am pretty sure there is a way in LP8 to change the tempo without the overlap.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks.

Thanks Donald.
I figured it out. I should have set the project tempo before I imported OMF file by default new project within LP8 is set to 120. so i changed the tempo to 145 BPM and imported the OMF...am a happy now.

Problems with Firefox 13. Can't see online audio file player. Video only works on some sites. All works OK in I.E. Updated Flash. No Change

Problems began when Firefox 13 automatically updated. tried downloading latest version of Flash 11.2.202.235. No change.
Video works sometimes on YouTube, not at all on most other sites.
Audio player not working at all. Either not even visible or downloads to real player versus playing within application such as Amazon.
Tried enabling/disabling Add ons to find culprit. No luck.
Everything as it should be in Internet Explorer.
On my WordPress site has MP3 audio files, and uses a flashplayer to display and play music files. With flash player on, nothing displays at all, (bank space where audio player would normally be displayed)
If I disable shock wave flash, a text link is displayed that downloads the MP3 in a new window (quick player), Also video doesn't work on any website. If I disable Flash and quicktime, text link to audio file downloads to realplayer.

hello msandman, there have been quite a few issues with adobe's latest flash update - can you try if flash content is showing up correctly again, when you disable the real-player components like mentioned in the following article: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]?
otherwise you could also try to remove flash 11.3 from the windows control panel/programs section & [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580 downgrade to the 10.3 branch of the plugin], which is still receiving security updates.

How can I match tempo & sync of old audio files to Garageband?

HI all,
Final question and it's a doozy. While I know the "general concepts" for trying to accomplish the following, acutally trying to get it to work is frustrating. At first thought that the new Garageband tempo/playing thing would work but I'm not being successful. Perhaps there are better programs for this. I am moderately aware of the beat/slicing/tempo tap programs -- I just don't have the lets-do-it-detail to make it work. Here is the goal.
#0 - New DAW file is created in either Garageband or Logic Pro.
#1 - I have old stereo MP3 and AIFF files digitally dubbed from old cassettes, some recorded 30 and 20 years ago. Most were recorded to click track or drum machine. Newer tracks are MIDI but my first tracks are purely audio.
#2 - I drag an audio file (MP3 or AIFF) into either Garageband or Logic Pro. The track becomes an audio track.
#3 -- I need to edit off the beginnings of these tracks. If Garagebands new tempo sync thing is enabled, you can't seem to do this. Once the track is playing -- the tempo should be moderately consistently (The originals often used a Roland TR 707 ??? drum machine). However, the tempo might not be perfect and I might need flexibility.
So, how do I ACTUALLY DO THIS?
#4 - The goal is to get the NEW song template to match it's tempo to the audio track. The song now has the correct tempo that (hopefully) perfectly matches the original track.
#5 - If this works, the old audio track is like an old temp track that is frozen in place.
#6 - I record new fresh tracks against this backing tracking. Voila, I have a newly semi-produced or at least recorded song based on the old recording.
Sounds easy but the devil is in the tricky details. Thanks for any tips, suggestions, references to forums, blogs, YouTube videos or books.
I am open to other software as well.
Thanks in advance. I'll stop bothering you after this. :-)
John

Attach your welcome audio to an object that is not seen (e.g. a highlight box set to 0%) and use your Advanced Actions and variables to HIDE this object ON SLIDE ENTER if the user returns to the same Menu slide at a later point in the course module.
This should mean that the first time the user gets to that slide, the audio will play. But all subsequent times they return to that slide, the object will be immediately hidden on entering the slide, which will mean that the audion does not play and all the user sees are the menu options.
Your alternate strategy would be to have two slides that look almost the same. The first one has the audio, and the second one doesn't. Your TOC item for Menu, and any other links in the project that point to the Menu, would go to the second slide without audio. The user will be none the wiser as long as you work out the navigation.

The audio file can not be changed! - help

I really need help. I just installed Logic Express 8, and I tried to import a song in order to edit it (as a lead in music bed for a podcast). Every song I import in says I am unable to edit it - "The audio file can not be changed! Volume or file is locked."
How do I unlock the file/volume in order to edit t? This is the only reason why I purchased Logic and if I cannot do this I spent a lot of money for no reason. Please help.

OK, basics first..
if the audio was 'bought' from itunes or some other download, it could have some kind of 'digital rights management' (DRM) on it. So you won't be able to edit anything, it's protected. Nothing you can do there.
Also make sure it isn't already open in another application that might be 'holding on' to it.
However, it could be something simple to do with protections on the file itself.
Locate the music file you imported on your harddisk click on it once so it is highlighted, now press cmd-i, or select file menu and 'get info'.
There are some settings here where one can 'lock' a file. There is a check box under the 'general' section that needs to be unchecked, there is also a 'permissions' section at the bottom of the 'info' window of the file.
Make sure you have read and write permissions.
