Time compression for radio production

I produce radio commercials and use Garage band a lot when doing so. My question is - Is there a way to time compress tracks to fit within a certain time frame? Radio spots must be no longer than sixty seconds and at times after prouction, they come in at 101 or 102 in length after making all the cuts possible. There are time compression devices used in production houses but I was wondering if there were any ways to do this in Garage Band?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

Sorry, I should have been more clear, what i meant by work around was any solution that couldnt give an exact timing change for the long spot. I was used to using software in video editing that allowed you to take a 62 second spot and plugin the number you wanted it to change to and it was done 62>60 from just an entry number.
Other wise in GB doing a tempo change on a track (after converting it to a loop that can be tempo changed) even after doing the math (and who likes math) is a bit of a long way home.
Just as an aside their were some VO guys we couldn't speed up at all (without a lexicon) or they would turn to chipmunks, where as others I could really push the limits beyond belief. The difference always turned out to be VO guys who used heavy compression on their voices with a heavy pre amp EQ on the low/Mid to low end. When they were sped up the lower EQ the effected octaves would rise up into the normal voice range and save the day.

  • Idiot question for time compression in STP3

    Let me ask a dumb question. I have always worked in Pro Tools for VO. I edit in FCP and know STP pretty well. I bought a presonus firebox and want to use STP for VO, since I have it in the FCP3 suite.
    In VO we always have to time compress reads down to :29 due to heavy copy. I always cut the out the breaths and other bad takes from of my recording and sometimes add some processing. In pro tools, when you add processing of any type it takes all the individual waveforms on the track and combines them into one long waveform in the track. That way you can apply time compression to the whole waveform. In STP will I have to export to a single waveform then re-import it to a new track then apply time compression?
    Hope this process makes sense. I use STP to sweeten my audio in FCP, but don't use it for and heavy duty VO production.

    If you connect the external disk to you Mac, and click on the HDD icon, the file structure should look like this:
    In addition, the HDD icon should eventually appear like the TM logo:
    This should allow you to identify the correct HDD.

    I had to restore my iMac from Time Machine. After the restoration all programs are functioning except my Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium. When I start any program in the suite the error message, "Licensing for this product has stopped working." I restarted the computer and tried again to run Photoshop and the same error message appeared. The message was followed by a message that stated that I needed to contact Adobe technical support and mention Error: 150.30. I need Adobe technical support to provide me a solution for my problem so I can continue using my Adobe products installed on my computer.

    Unfortunately when Adobe products are restored from backup, especial CS4 and especially Mac, it breaks licensing.
    There is a python script included in the license recovery kit that should work if you are familiar with Terminal.
    If not, you must reinstall your CS4 suite.  You don't need to delete your preferences, so it should be the same as before.

    If you can not use CS4 menu Help>Activate|Deactivate to get the install working again you may need to re-install CS4.

    trying to launch photoshop cs3 on a mac running OS10.6.8 i keep getting the error message: Licensing for this product has stopped working  you cannot use this product at this time. You must repair the problem by uninstalling and then reinstalling this product or contacting your IT adminstrator or Adobe customer support for help
    I already Uninstalled and reinstalled the product and it still does not work.

    Hi,
    Try to uninstall the software again and you have to manually
    Delete the following folders:
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PCD
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/backup
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Preferences/FLEXnet Publisher/
    [Startup Disk]/Library/Application Support/FLEXnet Publisher/
    Go to Applications-->Utilities-->Disk Utility, Open it and Select the MAC HD and then click on Repair permissions.
    After that try to run the cleaner tool as mentioned by kglad.
    Restart machine and then try to install again.
    *** Make sure , you only delete these folders if there is no other adobe applications installed on the machine. As if you have any other Adobe application of the suite ( not free applications ) then it will be a problem.

  • Report of List of all status changes for various production orders at a tim

    Hi,
    Can I have a standard report which shows the dates of each and every status (user & system) of a production order.
    I need to have a report for a list of productio orders at a time.
    If we go to CO03, header menu, status changes option is there, but it only caters for single production order.
    Table JCDS is available to know the dates but I need a standard one rather than a Z development.
    Or you can guide me any function module.
    Thanks,
    Kumar

    Hello,
    You will get the details of status in following table.
    JEST - for object status
    JSTO - Status Profile
    TJ02T - to Decode the status Number
    as the status data you will get from JEST is in very typical form you have to use TJ02T to find the exact status

  • "Licensing for this product has stopped working" message appears each time I open Acrobat Pro.

    "Licensing for this product has stopped working" message appears each time I open Acrobat Pro.  I am at a loss as to how to fix the problem.  Can anyone provide some insights?

    Thanks Bill.  After a good nights rest I don't feel like I'm in as big of a fight with Adobe as I was yesterday.  I was able to search through the search results with more patience and found these instructions:

    My problem was solved after the first step.  THANK YOU.  Life is much more peaceful when the things that are supposed to work do.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Time Machine did not restore Microsoft Office for MAC Product Key

    My Tdisk failed and was replaced under AppleCare. I then restored from my Time Machine Backup. I used the (Command R Power keys to initiate this). It completed without errors (eventually). 
    All Apps that I tried seemed to have been recovered successfully except when I attempted toload my MS Office for MAC Apps, I was asked for my product key.
    Unfortunattely this was saved in an email on my system and I cannot retrieve it since I cannot open my MS Outlook.
    Does anyone have a solution I might try?
    Has anything similar happened to others?
    I would appreciate any help you might be able to give.

    There are a few apps that seem to record the identifier (UUID) of the disk they're installed on, as an anti-piracy measure.   
    I don't use that app, but as Thomas says, if you know (or can figure out) where & how the emails are stored, you may be able to use the TM browser to locate the backup copy of the email, and either use QuickLook on it, or restore it to an alternate location, such as your Desktop, and examine it there.
    If you haven't done a new backup yet, Time Machine won't have "associated" the new disk with the old backups, so the backups of the old disk won't appear normally.  If so, you'll need the procedure in #E3 of Time Machine - Troubleshooting to see them.

  • I think I have been billed 8 times for a product I...

    Hi,
    I just tried to purchase the Soundhound app from the Ovi store for my Nokia C7. I use my phone bill for purchases. I was asked to confirm the purchase which I did. I waited then a message came up saying there was a problem with the billing service and I should try again later, so I exited the screen
    Almost immediately I was bombarded with 8 identical SMS messages from OviStore (82102) saying "Thankyou for your purchase from OviStore by Nokia. Your transaction ID is (all different numbers in each text)".
    Also there was no link in any of them to my download! I have a suspicion I have been billed 8 times for a product I haven't even received.
    Is there a contact phone number for Ovistore so I can rectify this?

    I've tried to buy other application today and also had the same problem. I've performed attempts 2 times via Phone Bill and it took the payment twice from my phone.
    I've just sent the message about it to support (Support -> Contact us) and asked them to refund the payments.

  • Best practice to use Time capsule for back-up of 3 different products (MBP 15 OSX lion, MBP 13 OSX lion and MBA 13 OSX mountain lion)?. Only the MBP15 is back-up regularly.

    When I want to save data of the MBA13 on mountain lion (wireless) with time capsule, hois there any best practice to perform?
    After that, assuming that data are back-up, can we easily differentiate data in time capsule belonging to MBP15/13 and MBA13?

    Unfortunately, Apple left off the Ethernet port....the most important port in networking....on the MBA, so your first backup of the entire Mac will need to be done using wireless.
    That may take a day or two unless your MBA has a Thunderbolt port on it in which case you could add a Thunderbolt to Ethernet adapter and connect the MBA to the Time Capsule for the first backup using an Ethernet cable.  It will probably only take 3-4 hours or less doing it this way.
    Once you have the first complete backup done, other subsequent backups can be done using wireless since they will ony take a few minutes, on average.
    Both Macs will backup to the Time Capsule using Time Machine automatically. Backups will be kept completely separate, so one Mac will normally only be able to "see" its own backups.

  • Time compression and Pan & Scan

    Hi
    I'm editing a PPV special, and the networks are requesting that the Sony Digibeta Master be "time compressed when available."
    Is "time compression" a feature in FCP, or is it a feature on the Digitbeta interface only (like the 7.5 IRE NTSC setting)?
    Also, one of the networks requests a "Digital Beta or D-3 full frame panned and scanned scene-to-scene color-corrected NTSC master."
    "Pan and Scan" referes to cropping 16:9 video to fit within a 4:3 monitor, with no letterboxing, right? My show includes both 16:9 and 4:3 content. For past shows, it's never been a problem when I make the Digibeta of both 16:9 and 4:3. But for this network that requests Pan and Scan, would there be any problem?
    I only found these requirements on the Event Master spec sheet, not on the spec sheet covering promo spots. Why's that?
    THANKS!

    Pan'n'Scan used to refer to the mechanical process of getting a widescreen image onto a TV screen. Movies were run through big film chains, scanners, to turn them into the highest quality quality video. There was a panning device that would physically move the image from side to side to maintain some kind of continuity with the original film's intent. The worst pan'n'scan films had unskilled operators running the mechanisms. Classic example is a two shot of dialog where we saw half of someone on the left side of the screen talking to an invisible person who was out of frame off the right side of the screen.
    I am not familiar with a more modern adaptation of the term "pan and scan" that does not include actually moving the widescreen image around. It's very complicated and time consuming to do it well while maintaining the integrity of the production. You are conforming someone else's composition to fit another frame. Touchy.
    Scene by scene color correction is a nightmare, too, but is necessary when going from film to video.
