Triggering midi with an audio file

Hi,
Ive recorded some live drums and unfortunately Im a bit disappointed with the snare sound and would like to use some sample snares I have instead.
Is there anyway to record an audio instrument track using the recorded audio file of the snare so that the beats trigger the sample?
Thanks.

Solved the problem,
First it was Ultrabeat as Sidechain trigger... I mixed with two techniques and looped the ultrabeat when it was already looping inside the ultrabeat...
and other sound problems I guess are over cause of leveling the volume correctly,
while side chaining...
I guess I was too excited to start working with logic, didn't noticed that the audio engine is a bit different than cubase I guess...
still having some minor problems in other logic stuff, but happy that I've solved that issue...

Question marks with some audio files

Hello all,
I've been trying to understand the problem I'm having with some audio files of my website, but to no avail. Some audio file are not loaded up with Quicktime, and only show a question mark with a blue "Q" around it.
In other words, would any of you be able to help me find out why the audio files in the following pages do not work:

I really appreciate your help.

You are giving viewers the full title on your web page.
You could cut your files names like < Beethovens_Piano_Concerto_no._2_in_B-flat_major%2C_op._19_-_i._Allegro_conbrio.html >
to something like BthvnPC2BfM.
Publish to a folder and look in the "Media" folder to see that all your files are there.
A better way to provide a download is to ZIP the music file and link to it via "Link to: A file" in the Link Inspector.
Type "Download" over the file name that appears and select your rollover colors and U or not in the format page.

Help with adding audio files to page

I am using DW CS5. I have had numerous troubles adding audio files to any page. Please know that I am not at all computer savy when it comes to html codes etc. But I have been working with DW CS5 and have a functional website and my pages validate. That being said, please be patient with me if I am asking stupid questions or don't understand the solution.
Now to the problem....I originally wanted to add mp3 files...but I am not sure how to work with plugins or which plugin to use.
Therefore, I converted my mp3 files to swf and used the insert media file feature in DW CS5. But when I look at the finished page...I only see a big white box. Nothing happens when you click on it.
First question...which is the best method to add audio files?
Second question...what steps do I need to follow achieve the desired result?
Note: there is one validation error on this page and I'm not sure why or how to fix it. Any suggestions here would be greatly appreciated.

The following audio files were created by Virginia (Stasik) Zarow at the request of Laura (Stasik) Schmidt and Carrie (Stasik) Kot.

Woohoo! I was able to resolve the issue including the validation issue. But I have a follow up question...
Currently if you click on the play button another window pops up which has the play/control/stop buttons to control the audio file. The attribute is set to new window. If I change the attribute to parent window, then the page that has the control buttons overlays ontop of the page with the link.
To get back to the original page, one must click on the back arrow near the address bar.
Isn't there a way to not have a separate window appear? In other words, the controls are embeded into the parent page?

File Not Found bug with long audio file names?

Hello -
Crazy problem. I'll probably post way too much information, but I want to make sure I cover everything. Help!
We run Logic Studio/Logic 8 on multiple 10.4.10/11 computers - G5 Power PC, new intel iMac, intel mini, G4 laptops. We are working on an audio post job using very messy OMFs that were prepared in Final Cut. We had problems opening them in Logic, so we opened the OMFs in Soundtrack Pro, exported to AAFs, and opened those in Logic.
The sessions look fine in Logic now (all files relinked), and the session is consolidated - ie, all files are local/in the project folder's Audio Files folder. I see this in the Audio Bin and can confirm in the finder.
Here's the problem. With the sessions closed:
(A) I renamed the project folder by adding an asterix to the front of the folder name, and changed the color label of the folder in the finder in order to mark it as the original folder.
(B) I made a copy of the whole folder (session files & audio files) in order to have something to work from and not mess up the original. When I opened up the session in the new folder, it immediately said audio file not found, do you want to search, locate, or skip. It couldn't find the file in a search, and obviously when you skip, then skip, then skip all, it opens the session with the data (regions are there but grayed) - so all the audio files are orphaned.
So when I try to locate the file, here's what happens. . . The audio file names are really horrendously long (must be some artifact of working in Final Cut). We're talking: "1087-001A SERG AIRPORT WAITING * 1-1channel_00044D02AA9- 363A-4CC5-A86B-0741023DB062.aif" - one bazillion characters.
So the audio file locate dialog box truncates the name of the file that's missing by using the first 20 characters or so, and then a "#" character, and then some random string of 3-6 characters that is not at all related to the file name. So who knows which of the 4-30 SERG AIRPORT files is supposed to go there!
Obviously if this were a 2 minute session file of 10 files or something, we could figure it out and relink everything, but we're talking about a feature-length session with a bazillion files.
(C) Okay, so I tried to open the original session, in the folder that I had renamed by prefacing the original name with an * and changing the color of the folder. But I started to get the file not found errors. OH GEEZ. So I didn't save. I re-renamed the folder by taking out the * and changing the color label back. Then I tried to open the session again, but I still kept getting the file not found problem.
I have to stress that I didn't move any of the audio files, or change ANYTHING in the session.
So I thought - is all of this because I tried to open a new instance of the session, in a new instance of the folder? Is it because I renamed the folders? Normally you can rename folders, even session names, no problems, and Logic corrects the paths to the audio files!
(D) So, crap. I reopened the original AAF file in logic and saved it in a new place. I closed the file, reopened it, closed, reopened, just to make sure everything was working! I checked the location of the files in the audio bin, and everything was great.
(E) So now I copied the folders to an external hard drive to be able to work on another computer. But when I tried to open the sessions on a new computer. . . You guessed it, nada.
So. . . the questions are:
(1) Those original sessions that now will not work - is there anything I can do to recover their functionality? We had work in there that I would prefer not to lose. . .
(2) Is this a known bug having to do with the length of the Audio File names?
(3) How do we get over this? My only idea so far is we could select all in a working logic session and say "Audio Tracks names to regions" or something and will that change the actual file names on teh computer? Then hopefully things would work on mulitple systems. . .
Okay. HELP! Thanks!
Polly

OK I got it.
It is necessary to use prefix "file:///" before file name.
Thanx everyway.

Working with an Audio File in Audition which has Multiple Cuts in Premiere

Hello,
I am quite new to Audition and am trying to apply noise reduction to tracks from Premiere...
As I do not want to edit the original audio files and I do not know of a less painstaking method, I have been creating copies of the original audio files (for example a 30m interview), processing the whole file, then essentially re-editing the whole segment by copying/pasting the multiple pieces of processed audio individually in the place of the originals, which is proving to be incredibly time-consuming.
I am wondering if there is an an easier way of working with sequences with a lot of cuts in Premiere and which are sourced from the same audio file?
I was planning initially to just copy/paste the files as they are in the Premiere timeline but I guess this would just alter the original file?
Any thoughts are hugely appreciated...

You should be able to export the audio as edited in Premiere as a new file to import into Audition for processing. then the matching processed audio file can be imported back into Premiere on a new track with the old one muted.

Having trouble with a audio file. Need help please!

Hello.
This may sound funny and not to related to any of this at first, but if anyone here knows about the game portal, then they know about the ARG that went on during last week and may even still be continuing. None of thats really important but if anyone cares to know, basically VALVe released a new update with 30 new sounds, 26 of them moarse code/sstv pictures. 3 of them called dinosaur_fizzle 1 2 and 3. Infact, each one was named dino_1 dino_2 and so on.
The main sound that no ones been able to crack is called Dinosaur_noise. Its obvious there are voices in it and its some sort of major clue, this file is way out of league with the other ones. No ones solved it 100% or cleaned it enough to make basically anything audible.
Now this started March 1st. Since then i have worked hours on the audio file. I have gotten close, but not close enough.
Thats why im turning to someone here, that can do a through analysis of the audio that adobe or reaper just cannot do.
In the attachments is the original file itself with no editing what so ever.
Heres some collected data.
Frequencies of interest
An analysis was undertaken to find the strongest frequencies acting within "dinosaur_noise". Linear and Logarithmic curves showed sets of dominant figures, with the most being:
Frequency (Hz)
Comments
9092
Largest spike before silence
7862
Very faint
7812
Very faint
7657
Very faint
7502
Largest spike in the 4000-9000Hz band
3502
various noise between 3502 and 3510
360
Another very visible wave. This was the most pronounced visible wave in the Logarithmic scale
35
The most dominant low frequency wave
There are a few standout segments, not of voice data underneath, but visible clicks or something happening about 5 times. These could be indications of splices or other manipulations going on. The largest noticed broad-spectrum spikes were:
Time(in samples)
Comments
55402
First broad spike
422931
Second broad spike
751643
Third broad spike
1081537
Fourth broad spike

Fifth broad spike
Silence in the frequency ranges is located in the band of 10.567 - 15.337 KHz. All frequencies above that are likely to be high frequency poinoning from the FFT process.
Heres what i know personally.
-Noise reduction makes it a lot worse and adds strange harmonics and artifacts.
-Most filters do the same.
-Clear voice around 15 that says THATS AMAZING.
If anyone cares to help I would appreciate it so much.
Here are some links that might help.

LabVIEW has a sound and vibration toolkit. Do you have that? Do you have LabVIEW?
The forum is made up of volunteers who will help others with their LabVIEW problems. But you need to have a specific problem and ask clear questions.
What you are asking for is very unclear. Why do you even want to do a "thorough analysis of the audio"? No one is going to do your project for you.

URGENT Strange problem with no audio files playing back in arrange

Anyone ever have something in Logic Pro X (newest .1 update, auto updated on me but seems fine otherwise) where playback of audio just stops? Like, meters still move for automation, audio files still remain in place, but nothing is even metering? Another alternative of this project (which i dont' want to use) works, and this just sorta stopped playing back. nothing i can think that triggered it. I can start up a new instrument and it plays back and records just fine. All of my existing audio just won't play at all.
I tried changing my interface and back in preferences, I've restarted both program and machine, but just this one alternative of this project (the current and most important of course) just won't play back audio. It even plays back in the wave editor window, just not in the sequence.

Captivate 6.0 - issue with using audio files as voicover

We are using Adobe Captivate 6.0. We are using imported audio files as the voicover for the slides. While plyaing the final published exe, it runs normal. However, if I use the slidebar at the bottom of the slide for moving back and forth, the audio goes away while the slide continues to play. Can anyone please advise as to why this could be happening and how to resolve the issue? Appreciate any urgent help on this.

Hello there,
Have you inserted the audio on the slides or on the objects?
Can you increase the slide quality to 24-bit (slide properties), then republish the project and see whether that helps?
Thanks.

Triggering midi inst from audio

hi,
im working on pro 7 and having a problem trying to work out haow to trigger a midi instrument from an audio signel, for instance:
i have an audio snare track and i want to trigger a tamborine from either ultrabeat or the exs so it plays at the same time as the snare.
is it even possible to do this?
i run my logic as a front end to pro-tools 6 hd2 and im aware i might have to flip the audio device to direct tdm so it works with the instuments. like i would if i was side chaining.
if you anyone can help it would be most appreciated
cheers

Excuse me for jumping in here, but im a noob, and was thinking about this same thing the other day, specifically to re-triggering a kick or a snare.
I read on the Audio to Score, and was curious if it could be used for this situation. So now that thats answered, I would like to throw a couple of other questions in:
1: Are the midi notes placed in another track once converted? (i would assume yes)
2: If they are, do you just add the instrument you want to that channel?
3: How does the phase of the midi track affect the original snare or kick that was recorded in the case that you wanted to blend the 2 tracks?

PLEASE - Need help with system audio files

Hi guys, I'm going to try posting this one last night before throwing my hands up.
I'm having a problem with my MacBook Pro where certain audio, namely in browsers like FireFox or Safari, doesn't output.
YouTube and Google Video stream and display video content correctly, but no audio is output.
System audio such as notifications, as well as iTunes, doesn't seem to be affected.
I tried to follow the steps outlined in another post to check the output Hz setting for my midi device in the Audio MIDI Setup panel. However, this is what my panel looks like:
http://static.flickr.com/48/12917458198120c9319_od.jpg
It's simply blank, with "Output is not supported" displayed where those settings should be.
Any ideas as to the root of this problem? It's almost like I'm missing a .plist file or some other system file, maybe something that got deleted using AppZapper? That's just a wild guess from a recent Mac convert after browsing the forums
Thanks!

First off, it makes total sense that you see "Output is not supported" for you microphone. Change the "Properties For:" drop down to "Built in Output" or whatever output device you are using. You will then see the audio output format and frequencies, but on the left side it will say "Input is not supported"
Second, YouTube and Google Video don't use midi and so the Audio Midi Setup isn't really relevant to your problem at all and you should leave that alone... unless you are you a musician with a midi device setup. Perhaps this is the case, please post if it is. Otherwise you are headed down a blind alley messing with "Audio Midi Setup" to diagnose OR fix your issue.

Help with an audio file - vows from a wedding.

Evening all,
My wife and I filmed a wedding yesterday and our wireless mic which was hooked up to the groom's lapel decided to cut out literally seconds before he spoke his vows. When I got the mic back from him, everything was soaked, literally dripping and also extremely warm. He couldnt explain why it was so wet, sweat he said. Unfortunately we lost our crystal clear version of the vows and have to work with a secondary version. We had two other cameras going as well as our primary. My wife had a Rode Shotgun mic on her camera and picked up the groom and brides vows, but you can hear the constant hum of the mic. I have dumped the file onto FileSnack and have provided the link to check out. Is there anything we can do to make this sound better, as well as perhaps bring up the audio from the bride and groom.

Hope one of you audio engineering savants can help out! Thank you very much in advance!

I've had a little play and Steve's right that there's no miracles to be had. However, have a play with Audition's EQ section and try taking down the level between 3k and 4k. That gives you a slightly boxy sounding voice but also cuts some of the clicky sound--it's a balancing act to decide how much EQ you want. FYI, I tried both the 31 band graphic with 3.2k pulled down a lot and 4k somewhat down. I also played with the parametric with a fairly steep Q centred around 3.7k. I think the parametric will eventually do the better job but ran out of time when a paying job turned up.
A bit of high and low cut would probably help as well and maybe some slight boost in the 250-800 range to help the intelligibility.
Anyhow, hope this helps.
Now, a tip for "next time". Sweat outs are common in theatre where we often hide mics in the hairline. If if have any inkling of an impending problem, spray a small section of an old pair of ladies stockings or panty hose with Scotchguard, cut out a small circle and stretch it over the mic capsule--a rubber band can hold it tight. Similarly, putting the TX pack in an unlubricated condom or a ziplock bag with only then antenna peaking out protects that end.

Help with editing audio files (please)

hi there,
firstly sorry for posting in this section but i had no idea where else to do it.
i recently went to an acoustic gig and recorded some songs from it using a sony ericsson phone. i have blue-toothed the files to my mac. there are a few songs on each recording are two things i would like to do with these files.
1. i would like to split the files so they are separate for each song.
2. i would like to try remove as much background noise as possible i.e. crowd making noise, or at least focus it on the actual music being played.
i have download audacity but have no idea. i am looking for a possibly free way to do this and simple too. i am not going to go hardcore with the editing, just want to do it quick and easy.
any help much appreciated, thanks, ravi.

You need to import your song to iTunes first.
Than open Garage Band and click on bottom Right button (View/ Hide media browser).
Click on Audio>iTunes>Music, and choose the song you want to edit. Then Just drag to your board and this will open new track, you will see line running vertically on your screen, this is showing you at what measure your song will start, just move to the beginning of a track (if you drop it too soon, just "pick" it up again and move it). This is very useful when you are trying to merge several track (e.g. for your iMovie, as you have only two tracks on it).
Than Split and delete portion you don't want any more.
To Slit a track, adjust your measure where you want to split it and go to Edit>Spit.
Hope this helps.

Triggering workflow with system generated files

I'm creating a workflow that is triggered when it encounters a content ID of D . It works perfect when I check-in a new content item ending in D, but when the system generates the discussion file ending in _D it doesn't trigger the workflow.
Do you know how I can trigger the workflow for system generated files? Thanks!

Umm, to be honest, I am lost even more. You mentioned several keywords and I can't figure out how to mix them together to make something reasonable:
- discussions
- a special folder for discussion files - does this mean that whole problem is that discussion files end up in the same folder as regular files and users don't like it?
I have just verified that if you create a discussion via WebDav for an item in a folder, the discussion file inherits the folder id of the item. However, if you modify it (I used UPDATE and just cleared it), the discussion is still available at the item's detail, but it is not visible in the folder - why would you set a folder for discussions at all, then?
- workflow - did you intend to use workflow mechanism to (auto)modify the folder of discussions?
If that's so, I think workflows is not good mechanism to do that - I'd expect in workflows to have some interaction with users (like approvals/rejects, which makes no sense to me for discussion entries)
I'm not sure if you can modify such a behavior on either Folders component, or ThreadedDiscussion components, but even if not, you should be able to do it via relatively easy custom component.

Program to remove sound from video and join video with audio file?

With which program can I remove the sound of a video and join/sync the video file with another audio file?
Thank you

Can I suggest using something that will allow audio capture from the external mic. to start with. Then you will have a video with audio in sync, in a format that you can re encode into whatever format you wish.
But, if you must do that. Dump the video from the handycam file, then put the mics audio file with it. ffmpeg -i video ffmpeg -i audio into whatever container and codecs that you want. You may have to adjust audio-video sync
ffmpeg -i audio -itsoffset 0.1 -i video
Search this forum and the web. There are hundreds of ffmpeg examples. And the ffmpeg man
https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html
ffmpeg will do just about anything, but is a little daunting. Ask specific questions and you'll get specific answers. Or find a front end for it. I never use them.
