Tricky Beatmapping and audio to score problem

This is my scenario:
I am recording a rockband with a unexperienced drummer. His drumset is cheap and sounds like a set of plastic pots. I have recorded them before so I have a sollution for the sounds of the drums. I simply make audio to score on BD and SD and add or replaces his drumsounds. last recordings I didnt work with the tempo which variable up and down 10 - 20 bpm ( yeah I know, ouch! ) but this time I have sat down and worked through the 10 songs and made a tempo based on beat mapping of the BD&SD.
Now here's the problem:
When I have made a Beatmapping and does the audio to score on BD for instance. And put up a ultrabeat BD on that miditrack, the tempo on the miditrack is not right! The Miditrack doesnt seem to follow the tempochanges of the beatmapping made.
Can I correct this now? Or do I have to start all over and FIRST add the Drumsounds, record them to audio AND then Beatmap?
I searched the forum but there was alot of posts on beatmapping and I am in a little timestress.

Mikke,
It's been my experience, that once there is audio recorded into a Logic song, changing any of the tempo functions causes the audio regions to move. i.e. there placement will change... unless you SPMTE lock them first.
In your case, all the drum tracks will have moved together, so you may not have noticed it, per say.
As to how this relates to your current problem, I'm not entirely sure if it does. But I can't help but wonder if the Audio to Score function is somehow "locked" to the original SMPTE position of the drum transients. Again... I'm WAY stabbing in the dark here.
2 things...
What happens if you re-apply the Audio to Score function? Does the newly created MIDI region follow now?
And what happens if you clear the beat mapped tempo list, and reset Logic back to the original tempo it was when you tracked the drums? (I realize you didn't cut to a click, but Logic's internal tempo was set somewhere... get it back to where it was, if you can). Then apply the Audio to Score. Does it follow the original drums now?
If the end result is to merely replace/enhance the drums, perhaps you may need to forgo the beat mapping. Just a thought...
Keep us posted...

  • 'Source play' and 'audio-video sync' problems with PE8 on fast WIN7 64 bit computer

    I am transferring Hi8 videos, about 2 hours long, to my WIN7 64 bit computer with PE8.  [Dell Mobile Precision M4400 Computer Workstation (Intel Core 2 Duo T9900 500GB/4GB); NVIDIA Quadro FX 770M, 512MB] I seem to have several problems: 
    First, after importing the file (.avi), I get a message about ‘dropped frames.’ 
    Secondly, when I try to play the video in the source monitor, the audio plays but the video doesn’t; it only shows the first frame [this is after waiting until the video is ?recognized? ]   I can use the shift-arrow key and see that the video is there.
    Thirdly, I can play the .avi file in other players, e.g., avidemux or PE pro CS5 on another computer.  There, I see that the audio and video are not in sync; the audio can be up to 300 ms ahead of the video (as determined using avidemux). 
    Questions:
    1.  Why doesn’t the source monitor play the video? Is this a problem with PE8 (latest update as of 3 March 2011) on aWIN7 64 bit computer (intel duo core. 3 GHz).
    2. Is the audio-video sync problem the result of the ‘dropped frames?’ How can PE8 correct this? Avoid this? Or, is it coincidence?

    "I think you're telling me you're using a backwards compatible Digital8  camcorder to capture your video as DV-AVIs. Is that right?" YES
    "Are you using  Premiere Elements to do this capturing?" YES, AS ABOVE PE8
    "Go to the File menu and select Properties. It should show a standard DV codec being used for your video and audio."
    WMP v12 is dumb. Under properties, media, it says 'video.'  However, avidemux gave me the information state above: video -- Codec 4CC: dvsd, frame rate: 29.971 fps; audio -- codec: PCM, channels: Stereo, frequency: 48 kHz.
    So, back to the Questions:
    1.  Why doesn’t the source  monitor play the video? Is this a problem with PE8 (latest update as of 3  March 2011) on aWIN7 64 bit computer (intel duo core. 3 GHz).
    2. Is the audio-video sync problem the result of the ‘dropped frames?’ How can PE8 correct this? Avoid this? Or, is it coincidence?

  • I am trying to watch Prof. Susskind's video lectures from Stanford univ.U-tube lec work fine.With itunes video and audio have synch problem.Is there a way to fix this or the people who uploaded messed up and it is too late?

    I am trying to watch Prof. Susskind's lectures from Stanford Univ. U-tube lectures work fine.With I-tunes, there is a synchronization problem between audio and video. Is there a way to fix this or the people who uploaded messed up and it is too late?

    I had thought this situation was solved but it just got worse. In addition to being without service for several days I am now being charged  a cancellation fee for a broadband service that BT disconnected in error. BT Vision was also terminated by BT but the set up charges are still in place. Does anyone know who the relevant Ombudsman is? I called BT from America on Friday - for an hour - while someone called Aruj sorted out why there is an order 'in progress' that I didn't initiate; why I have fees relating to a problem created by BT and why there are references to a house move that didn't take place and a BT Vision service I no longer have but didn't cancel myself. He assured me it would be rectified and my bill would be reduced by 139 pounds and we would get confirmation of this later that day. I asked him what chance there was that this would not actually happen - he said no chance at all; my new bill would be 23.50.
    There was no text message. An online chat person today told me there had been a fee reduction request which had been declined and there was nothing else he could help me with as he dealt only with broadband. But he would get BT Vision to email me. They always seem so helpful.............
    I'm sure I'm listed somewhere as 'a problem', there's no other explanation for why I get the runaround

  • Audio to score problems

    Does any one knows good tips to make it work with guitars, I have a guitar part that I'm trying to covert to midi information, however all the notes stay within the same note. no pitch changes
    any ideas?

    Call me crazy, but would it not be very much easier (& better for your brain) just to listen to the pitch & find the closest note to it on a keyboard (nice neutral sound such as piano)? It might be slow +at first+ if you've never tried it before, but the more you do it the better you get at it; you'll soon speed up.
    When learning any skill, it takes time to get started. And as skills go, this would be just about the very best one you could learn, if you're into music.

  • I'm trying to e-mail music scores and audios, but I receive an error message saying Preview doesn't recognize the file format, regardless whether I use .mus, .pdf, or .mp3.  I haven't come across Preview or this problem before.  Any suggestions?

    I'm trying to send music, scores and audio, as e-mail attachments, with a copy to my e-mail address.  Whether I use .mus, .pdf, or .mp3, the error message says Preview doesn't recognize the file format.  I haven't seen Preview, or had any problems, before now.  Thanks for any suggestions.

    Hi,
    Firstly, your country is detemined by several factors, including your phone's regional settings, your SIM card and your NokiaAccount settings, if you used this phone whilst abroad then you may need to check that your regional and account settings are up to date since you have arrived in Canada.
    For services like Gigs, you should also ensure that the MixRadio app has access to your phone's GPS location as well as the main location being on in the phone settings. To check this, as well as Location being turned on in the phone settings, in MixRadio itself go to Settings>Location>On:
    The concern with favourites may also be related to location, if the music from certain artists is available in Canada but not where the service might think you are, availability of content may vary from region to region.
    If all settings in both the phone, your Nokia Account and the MixRadio app are correct, we may have to investigate deeper.
    It is impossible to comment on your camera without seeing it, you cold have the phone checked by Nokia Care locally, but of course if it was supplied in Europe it will be covered by the European Limited Warranty which is not valid in Canada.
    If this or any post answers your question, please remember to help others by pressing the 'Accept as solution' button.

  • AUDIO TO SCORE is gone and it was much more precise for drum doubling than the doubling function itself.

    AUDIO TO SCORE. I used that all the time for drum doubling for the following reasons:
    In Logic 9 i always used audio to score for drum doubling because it had much more control over essential parameters than the drum replacement window. Parameters like: Granulation, Smooth Release and Attack Range made sure that i didn't have any flams, too few notes, too many notes etc etc. AND you could see in the sample editor (below the waveform) immediately the effect of the changes made in those parameters!
    Now with these parameters gone and only the drum doubling function left, what was a real pro function has become much more cumbersome to use. You can no longer see in detail what changes in parameters does to the out-coming midi. And the lack of the detailed parameters makes drum doubling drop or miss notes, makes flams with the original drum track etc etc.... In short. The drum doubling function is inadequate for pro results.
    So this is my suggestion: Apple probably wont reinstate audio to score as it was (i'd love it if they did, it's essential to me and others who does rock mixes in logic instead of protools). But you can do something that's even better:
    In the audio file editor (previously the sample editor) make the old audio to score into an advanced drum doubling/replacement editor. Take the audio to score window and parameters and reinstate them BUT instead of outputting different note values make them output to a desired note of the users choice (e.g C1). Without opening the library. It cluters the window and often people want to use their own drum software than apples samples.
    It's the realtime view in the bottom of the audiofile editor that makes a difference. And the missing parameters. Without these things a good outcome is based on luck rather than visual reference.

    I was doing drum replacement ( adding ) with Audio-to-score for years, and must say, drum replacement is working for me without any flams and much better and 2x faster. I think it is pro feature, with advanced transient detector. Only problem is velocity,as in Audio-to-score.
    If automatic threshold not working on some material, you can do  fine transient edits in audio editor with visual realtime feedback, you can change output note and delay globally. Also you can hear ( in compare with Audio-to-score), that's why library is opened and sample replacement -after, not difficult to do.

  • Video and audio linking problem, and others?

    So, I am having 2 main problems. When I first started using FCE everything was great. Then, I changed some settings, and for some reason, it doesn't work like I want it to. So, my first problem is linking. When I import, it is automatically unlinked, but I think FCE thinks that it is! When I do press Apple L (shortcut to link video and audio) it still isn't linked! How can I get it to link?
    My 2nd problem may be linked to the first. When I want to make a cut right on the playhead, it is really hard to get it on the playhead. Previously, it would just snap on the playhead if I got close, and now it doesn't! How can I get it to snap better?
    Thanks for all the help!

    1) Make sure linking (Shift-L) is turned on before you add your clip to the timeline. To manually link audio tracks to your video tracks select the two and go to +Modify > Link+ (Command-L).
    2) Make sure snapping is turned on in the timeline. Hit the "N" key to toggle it on or off.

  • Problems with image and audio in Premiere

    Hi! I'm using Premiere Elements 9, but there's no synchronization with imagen and audio because the image is slower than audio and it's causing problems when I'm editing. Why can I do? It's there a poblem that can I fix in "Preferences" or is my laptop?
    I hope your answer,

    When you do post the PrE forum, this ARTICLE will give you tips on the types of info, that will be so useful. See you there!

  • I have an IPod touch 4 gen. And I'm having problems with the audio when I use other than Apple brand earphones

    I have an Ipod Touch 4 gen. and I'm having problems with audio when I use other than Apple brand earphones. I'm talking about music only so far, when I use apple earphones all is fine, but if I use other type of phones ( sony for exemple ) I can only hear the music and the background but not the lead singer voice, can anybody explain this to me? thank you.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    - If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • IMovie Problems: Photo import and audio-video out of sync.

    Photo import problem:
    Some times, I have problems importing photos onto my new project, the photos will appear to be that just one same photo when played. It does not transit to the other photos following the first, it's just stuck on the first. Is this just an issue with iMovie '11? Are there any other ways to resolve this problem?
    Audio-video out of sync:
    I've checked some other discussions but I'd like to raise this issue again for APPLE. There are problems exporting my 7-minute film - the video and audio go completely out of sync no matter what format I export it to. There are not a lot of clips used. I'm now trying the method to detach the audio files from the video, hopefully it works.
    These issues are bothering me, in addition to a failed firmware update on Mac OSX 10.7.2 a few weeks ago. I couldn't open my computer and I had to go to the Genius Bar to have them help me backup my files on my computer and reinstall the whole system again. Anyways, any help to the above iMovie issues are greatly appreciated. Just wish that Apple will address these current issues and not just focus on improving their products with awesome features ._.

  • Problems synchronizing video and audio while using FME 2.5

    Hello...
    I use FME2.5 to deliver media to justin´s server for
    broadcasting on the internet...
    As capture video I use webcammax to capture video from files
    avi and divx...
    But somehow since I started using FME2.5 sonme videos are
    perfectly sinchronized while streaming but others no...the audio is
    not sunchronized at all...
    I stream the media on justin in H.264 at a bit rate of
    300kbps 25fps and 320x240 for video...
    and audio mp3...
    Is taht a way to synchronize it?
    And do adobe have a complete solution of capturing video
    files and streaming it to justin server?...
    Thanks...

    I too encounter similar kind of problem, but i am using Sony
    HD handy cam which captures HD video and FME 3.5 for encoding, i
    tried out both medium and high bandwidth options in it (FME 3.5),
    vp6 and H.264 and i found vp6 was more ok in light of lip sync (AV
    synchronizing) but there was problem with H.264 in both high and
    medium settings..so is there any option to get synch with H.264 on
    FME 3.5..???

  • GPC Latency Problems and audio dropouts/distortion

    I have spent three days trying to find definitive solutions to the audio dropout/distortion problems with this Pavilion dv7 - 1245dx Notebook running Vista sp2 x64. Having taken all the suggestions by Daniel P in the forums, including updating all drivers, running the DPC Latency Checker and disabling all the relevant drivers, firewalls, etc., I have come to the conclusion that HP has simply manufactured a poorly designed product, replete with mediocre software like the Atheros WLAN drivers, the IDT SRS audio chip drivers and the RealTek Ethernet drivers. While the latency spikes can be vitiated somewhat, they cannot be eliminated entirely. Perhaps the AMD Turion x2 processor is inferior, since my son also own a Pavilion dv7T-4000 with an Intel Core 2 chip, with the usual bucket of HP bundled crap, and there is absolutly no sign of yellow or red spikes. I even tried running the Microsoft RRATV3 to try to identify the offending drivers, but the program will not run in 64-bit mode.
    One word on HP technical assistance: once an HP product is out-of-warranty (usually one year), they've never heard of you. They hand you off to some third-party contracted service that wants to dip into your pocket to extricate $100 for their troubleshooting advice.  This seems to me to be highly excessive, especially for a poorly designed machine, and most customers thus burned (as revealed in Forum comments) have expressed the desire to make their next computer purchases elsewhere. I have noticed that this audio dropout problem is listed by owners as far back as 2006. It is unconscionable that the problem still persists with HP computers, and I have also observed that many, if not most, of the queries have not received a single reply. If this is so, then what is the use? Why should a person with the same problem, who posted in 2009, not have the courtesy of a reply by 2013?  This is absurd!  Under these circcumstances, it is hard to recommend HP products/services to anyone.

    I double clicked the round button when the icons appeared I held down and selected the FaceTime icon while it was shaking I selected the minus sign on the FaceTime icon closing it out.  Then I restarted the iPad and bingo FaceTime works now.
