Tempo problems with imported wav files

Hey everyone, sorry if there's a quick fix for this in the forums that I couldn't find, but I've been having some tempo problems with imported .wav files.
Long story short, my system couldn't handle playing all the tracks for a song while recording drums, so I bounced out an mp3 of the song and put it in a new Logic file so my drummer could just play along to that as I recorded him. Unfortunately, the original song is at 167 bpm, but I forgot to change the bpm in the new Logic file with the .mp3 file of the song to 167 bpm, so it was left at the default 120 bpm.
So, the drums were recorded at the correct 167 bpm, but Logic thinks that those new drum .wav files should be played at 120 bpm, so when I import my drum tracks back into the original file, they do not play correctly at all.
I could get record it all again, but I wanted to check if there was a way I could salvage what I already have, since my drummer lives about an hour away right now and can't just come over whenever he wants.
Thanks for the help! I really appreciate it.

Hi,
First, do not use MP3 in Logic, the sound quality is less than AIFF, WAV or CAF, and Logic has to decode it for playback, making it a heavier burden on the CPU than an uncoded audiofile, such as AIFF, WAV or CAF.
Secondly, audio files are independent of Logic's tempo. If you bounce down an audio file in any format (other than Apple Loop), it will play back at the same speed, +regardless of Logics' tempo setting+, either at recording or playback. Logic doesn't 'think' anything. The BPM is only important to MIDI tracks, or to the spacing between audio files. The audio files themselves *are not affected* by the tempo setting. If you import an audio file of tempo 167 into a 120 BPM project, the file will still play at 167, only Logic will indicate the wrong bar positions.
regards, Erik.

  • Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    Hi, I have problem with importing MOV files from SJCAM 4000. MOV files are in supported formats for Adobe Premiere Elements 11. But if I'm importing MOV file, only audio part is imported, video part is not imported. How can I solve this problem?

    haben
    From looking at the specifications of your camera (SJCam 4000), we know already what video compression your camera is using. It is H.264.
    A H.264.mov file should be supported by Premiere Elements 11. On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running?
    Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer? And, are you running QuickTime and Premiere Elements 11 from a
    User Account with administrative privileges? Please go to Premiere Elements 11 Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime to confirm that you find
    presets there for the QuickTime choice there.
    What are the properties of these H.264.mov files - is it 1080p30 (1920 x 1080p30)  or something else? Do you know if this camera is recording with a variable or
    a constant frame rate?
    Please review and consider and then we will decide what next.
    Thank you.

  • Problem with importing RAW files from camera

    LR 1.3 refuses to import raw files from my camera. Only JPEG's are imported. Got a Canon 350D/Rebel XT. Once I copied the raw files to disk (using Camera Window) Import from disk works fine and converts the CR2 to DNG without a problem. The preference "Treat JPEG files next to..." makes no difference. Anybody a clue what's wrong?
    Thanks, Edwin

    Yeah this is a known bug with Canon cameras in general (not just using Lightroom!). If you use the camera to download your images anyway, I believe the trick is to set the camera to mass storage mode and you'll also get the RAWs. Lightroom's import from camera is very buggy though, hence it is a better idea to use a reader, or to manually copy the files to your harddisk first and import from there.

  • Problems with importing .MP4 file and the audio in FCP 6

    Hi all,
    I am pretty new to Final Cut Pro and have just approached my first project.
    I have a Samsung VP-MX20
    http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/detail/spec.do?group=cameracamcorder&type=cam corder&subtype=flashcamcorder&model_cd=VP-MX20/XEU&fullspec=F
    *Codecs H.264, AAC.*
    I needed some space on the camera so halfway through a holiday i transfered all the video files from the camera to my Laptop.
    I have imported these files from the hardrive
    Vid rate - 25 fps
    compressor - H.264
    Pixel Aspect - PAL - CCIR 601
    What seems to be the problem is ok when i drag the clip from the viewer to the canvas and apply insert, i get the box that says 'Change Sequence settings to match the clip settings?
    i click yes and when the clip is layed out on the timeline there is a red line above the timeline, when i play the clip i only get bleeps as audio and not the original sound.
    If i drag the playhead i can hear the audio but if i try to play all i hear us bleeps plus if i import an mp3 the red line appears above the timeline and the same applies
    can anyone help me here.
    Thanks
    Elles

    Hi Zak,
    many thanks for your reply, i have contacted Apple and taking your advice and using compressor i have converted the codec H.264 to Apple Pro Res 422 for interlaced material.
    I have imported this file and when i drag once again from the viewer to canvas i get the standard box asking to change the sequence to match the clip.
    I am still getting the red line above the timeline and bleeping as audio.
    any idea?

  • Sudden problem with importing tiff files with alpha channel (CS5)

    OK this is driving me nuts. For years I have been importing image files that have an alpha channel  into FCP as.tiff files. I use Photoshop files only when I want to use the layers as they are too cumbersome otherwise). I have recent upgraded Photoshop, etc. to CS5 and now FCP won't import them anymore. I get a message saying: "File error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown"
    I am not doing anything different and tiff files created in just the same way in an earlier version of Photoshop import and work just fine. Is this a CS5 bug? Does anyone know of a work around. I want to keep using tiff files as they seem to work best for me with alpha channel work (and I don't see why I need to reinvent the wheel).
    Thanks
    A

    I've had a similar issue recently. Same TIFF files downloaded from the same server, different FCP project, new error. I either see"File error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown" or I get the even stranger, "Unrecognized file type."
    I can open them in PS and save them again as TIF, same results. I know these are not CMYK files but even if resave the TIF as RGB, I get the same results, they are not recognized by FCP.
    But if I open them in PS and save them as PNG with alpha, they improt fine.
    I have no idea what's going on.

  • Problems with importing mp4 files into iTunes.

    Hi all,
    Since a few days I am the proud owner of an iPad 2. When I was looking for a solution to sync my video files (no problems with my pictures nor with my music files), I saw that I had to convert them from .avi to .mp4.
    Through this community I learned that there were several free and paid options. Such as handbrake, convertavitomp4.com, etc etc
    In the end I have tried around 4, but when trying to get the files into my library of iTunes it fails. In the beginning I did not receive any error message. It just did not work. I tried through CTRL-O, drag and drop. Nothing seems to be working.
    Does it have something to do with the fact that I have the newest iTunes (10.5) and the latest OS for the iPad?
    Does anyone have The same experience or knows a solution?
    Thank you in advance,

    Hi Swen,
    I am checking out flex player after your recommendation.  However, I have since resolved my problem.  I am running windows 7, 64 bit, and discovered that the problem was windows 7 security settings.  All my itunes data was on a hard drive that I plugged into my new pc running windows 7. Despite allowing me to access the hard drive in the usual way, I discovered (after some help from someone more knowledgeable) that the problem was that all my itunes data was protected and I did not have "full control" rights in the security settings.  Very odd, given that I have only one user account on the pc.  And why it could not tell me what the problem was I don't know.  But what I did was right click the drive and make sure my user account had "full control" rights and now I can drag and drop movies into itunes.  This may not fix your issue but hope you resolve it soon.

  • Problem with import SWF file

    I am trying to import a SWF file that i have exported from indesign CS5, as i want to create a pdf that has interactive page curl and page turn.
    But whenever i reimport the file it is really low resolution.

    I agree with Steve, you really should think is it absolutely necessery to try to place your SWF into PDF... you probably will face some problems if you do that.
    If you really must, you have to understand some basic rules about working with palced SWF (and videos too) in InDesign.
    The pixelated image you see above is not actual SWF. It´s an element called poster. When you place a SWF or video to your layout in InDesign, you may choose a poster for it. It´s kind of placeholder for actual SWF or video and will be shown when actual content is not playing. InDesign uses poster also as an appearance for your SWF/video file while you are working with your layout. InDesign can´t show actual SWF/video content in working area.
    You have few options how to define your poster. The most popular one is to grab it from SWF or video file. You can choose any frame to be used as a poster. Except that poster is not that frame itself, it´s a "screenshot" of that frame. Which means of course a risk that it may be pixelated at some point. Resolution you will define in Export SWF window´s Advanced tab effects to posters too. So be careful with lower resolutions if you want to avoid pixelation.
    Another, and IMO more professional method is to use good quality image as a poster. You can prepare your poster image in any regular image editing software.

  • Problem  with importing par file in portal server 6.2

    Hi everyone,
    I got the following error when trying to import IFRAME provider into portal server 6.2.

  • Problems with importing csv file

    Ive just thought of a problem i may have importing a csv text file into java and then tokenizing it to be used to as a query to insert the data into a sql database.
    if the fields are surrounded in quotes (which sometimes they are) this means usually because there is a comma within the cell
    e.g.
    "1","myname","10 address road,addressington","55512345"
    now when i tokenize that i will get the wrong result as it will store
    1
    myname
    10 address road
    addressington
    55512345
    when i want it to store
    1
    myname
    10 address road,addressington
    55512345
    Does anybody know a way round this.
    and can anybody suggest any good examples or tutorials on how to import a delimited data text file into java and then upload the data to a sql database.

    You need to upgrade from StringTokenizer to ...
    (dum dum DUM)
    StreamTokenizer. It will pull tokens as you'd like to see them, but it's a lot more complex. Check it out.

  • Problem with importing raw files

    i get this weird pink artifact in a horizontal line down all my rw2 files. im using a macosx leopard pshop extended 5.1 , camera is a gh2 panasonic , can anyone tell me whats wrong please? im new to photoshop/digital photography.

    Looks like a hardware issue.  If the artifacts do not print, it could be your video display card.
    However, more likely is a hard disk, SCD card, or USB cable/connection problem.  In all of these cases, the artifacts would print.
    If you can post a link to one of the affected raw image files, others can attempt to open it on their/our computer.

  • Problems with importing ill. files to indesign

    I am trying to bring a type based logo from Illustrator to Indesign and keep running into some strange problems.
