Trouble importing midi files

please excuse this intrusion.
you are probably all more experienced with this topic than the GB users
I cannot get midi files that were created and exported from Cubase SL 1.04 3-5 years ago and initially worked in Garageband 2 to import.
They will work with dent du midi but will not drag successfully into the GB interfase. These did come in weeks ago. I believe it might have something to do with QT 7.02
I dont know. could it? I have checked everything. The files do not import. New files off the internet do import. i thought a midi file was a midi file was a midi file
thanks

Welcome to the forum. Yes, sometimes these issues occur. Since I am the biggest importer of MIDI files to GB3, I will see what I can do for you.
First, when you wish to import a MIDI, drag the file onto an empty area (ie no tracks) of the GarageBand window. Hold until you see a + sign. Drop, and you should see the tracks appear.
How did you obtain the MIDI file? From the Net? How did you save it? What were the steps?
Do you have Quicktime Pro? Sometimes the way you save a MIDI file will make a difference. You have a choice between "save as movie" or "save as source", and I believe the latter works best.
Has it worked for other MIDI files? Or is one or two giving you issues? Perhaps if you can post a link to the MIDI file, I can have a look at it.

Having problem importing midi files.

Hello everyone,
I am having trouble importing midi files in GB. Every time I do all I get is a single insrument, and not the whole midi file as it was when I downloaded it. I tried Dent du midi and cant even get that to work. It looks like it is working, but never seperates the tracks. I would really like to be able to pick apart midi files. Anyone have any ideas. This is my first Apple, but I have been a PC Tech for 8 years now. (I Hate PCs, I love the Mac)

Trouble importing LOA files

Hello,
I've got 300+ laptops that require 2 new AC profiles added and an old profile removed. I've followed the AC profile deployment guide which is relatively straight forward, but when I try to silently import the LOA file using the qctray /importsilently command, nothing happens. The profiles do not appear in AC. However, I can import the LOA file manually using the profile import menu option but the imported profiles do not retain the encryption key. I've tried AC 4.41 and AC 4.52
I called Lenovo support but the rep didn't know where to route my call so someone is supposed to call me back.
Anyone seen this? Is a log file somewhere that can help?

Importing .midi files into iTunes library

Hello! Can anyone please tell me how to import .midi files into my iTunes library, then convert those files into .mp3 to burn onto a CD?
Thank you for your help!

Does this midi file play elsewhere?
I am getting the file from another location on my hard drive, not from a CD.
Doesn't matter. File -> Add file to library will work if the file is compatible.
Also, when trying to change the import settings, it seems to be for importing from a CD, not from another file location.
It is for importing or converting.

Importing midi file from Sibelius

Hello
I've been trying to import a score I composed in Sibelius 6 into Logic Pro X. What happens is I have no control over the panning or volume; everything reverts back to it's original position after setting the pan and volume. I had everything panned to center and volume equal on all tracks before I exported the midi file from Sibelius. When I first tried this, the dynamic markings in the score moved the faders up and down. I removed them, but still have the same problem. Any ideas?
Thank you
Michael

Use the "Transform" window.
Transform can be used to simply have a complex selection criteria, without actually modifying the data.
With your region selected, in the transform window specify your selection criteria, for example "All NOTES with a velocity of 45 or less", and hit the "Select Only". This will select all notes in that region that make your criteria. Then use the cut/paste functions to move them to a new region.
If you are unsure how the transform window works and need some more help, post back.

Trouble Importing MOV files in adobe premiere pro cs3

Hi,
I just bought a Canon 60D camera and I am using adobe premiere pro cs3 for the first time.
I tried to import MOV file footages made by my Canon 60D, but it says that my files are not supported.
I don't know what to do!
Can someone help me?
Thank you.

Hi All,
Let me tell you how I solved the XDV9 codec trouble on my Windows 7 system. The solution is rather stunning because I am using completely free software. First download the Shark007 codec pack for your system here: http://shark007.net/forum/Thread-Setup-and-usage . Please be aware that the codec pack installer comes with a toolbar install option so make sure you de-select this option during the installation process. After installation check the MOV tab on the "Settings Application" program. Make sure "use LAV's splitter" is selected for MOV Playback.
Now comes the crazy part... To convert the XDV9 MOV video clips just download Windows Essentials Movie Maker for Windows 7. At this moment more info about this program can be found here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-live/movie-maker-get-started . Again, make sure to set the right settings during installation otherwise you will be installing a lot of possible unwanted crap like Windows Live Mail, Windows Skydrive etc.
Movie Maker has quite good settings for converting (High Definition or custom settings are supported). Select your clip, or select multiple clips to create an unedited full length clip of all your clips, and then select "create movie". I used the "use recomended settings for this project" settings as it matches the source file resolution and frame rates etc. It is quite some work to convert clips like this but its the only free solution I could find so far.
Good luck!

Can't import midi files in garageband 11 after lion install?

I can't import or open midi files in garageband 11 ,tried reinstalling from my app dvd, will not allow, it is grayed out was using snow leopard and updated
to lion and thats when it quit also my quicktime pro 7 will no longer export midi.

Same here. Now that I think of it, I recently put in Logic Studio 8 and Garageband didn't open on it's own anymore. That was iLife'06. I then up-graded to iLife '08 and Garageband still doesn't open to a new project. The only way I can still open Garageband is to make a "template" out of one of their demos, then when that opens I strip the tracks out and start with new ones. By the way, I just tried to install XLN Audio's Addictive Drums. They work in Logic Studio, but do not open at all in Garageband. Error message says the plug-in is not "valid". So much for Garageband being easier than Logic.

When importing midi files from Reason they become "Pop Flute"

Hi I am new here in the discussion board so i don't really know how everything works. I own an iMac and Garageband 3 and I also use Reason 4.0. I export midi files from Reason to use in Garageband and I have no trouble finding the files, but when I drag them into GB it makes all the tracks into "Pop Flute" tracks. Can anyone help me out here?? Also does anyone know how to or if you can register Garageband for Tech Support?

What you are suggesting, I'm sorry to say, is not helpful at all.
Just curious: Why not?
To be more precise: GB doesn't support the General Midi standard, so program data in midi files really don't mean a lot to it. There are instruments in the General Midi standard that GB just doesn't have. So you can convert your file as much as you want.

Question About Importing Midi Files??

I find breaking down tempos and creating a tempo map easier for me in Pro Tools. So I did that on a file tonight, and just made a dummy midi file in PT so that I could import it into Logic and have a tempo map ready to go.
But now I see that Logic will only import tempo if you OPEN the midi file. But there's nothing in the midi file as I mentioned, it was just a dummy to give me a map.
Now it means creating all my track setups, VIs, everything, everytime I do this. Is there any way around this that I'm missing?
I just want my existing template to import a midi file's tempo created in another program ...
Thanks
Tom

Hi
OPEN the MIDI file, then select all the tempo events (either in the Global Track or in the Tempo List). Copy the tempo events.
Switch to your Logic template project, open the Tempo list then paste in the tempo map. You might need to delete the first (original) tempo event after pasting.

Problems in importing MIDI files

I tried to use iTunes to organize my MIDI file collection. I encountered some problems during the import. The files were added to the library and they play fine in iTunes via Quicktime. After the import, the name column in iTunes does not show the name of the songs correctly. Many of the songs simply show a blank as the name. Some others have some other text as song names. Apparently, iTunes picks a comment field inside the MIDI header as the song name. When I inspect the MIDI file in the file system, the GET INFO command shows a different TITLE field in the MORE INFO tab, but that TITLE does not match what shows up in iTunes.
Is there an option in iTunes to make it take either the TITLE meta data in the header or take the file name as the song name?
Since I am organizing a few hundred MIDI files, entering the name one by one is a pain. Please help.

I tried to change the song names in iTunes. The changes stay fine for a short time. As soon as I play the song again, the value is reverted to the wrong value. I double check the MIDI files and they all have write permission.
The "Keep Music folder organized" option is turned on.

Trouble importing swf files

I would like to embed a .swf file into my catalyst project, but everytime I import a file catalyst crashes if I try to modify or reposition the file. I have tried runing the project just to see if the swf is visable, but get a message saying that there is an error in the code. I am not great at coding anything. I know a bit about HTML and CSS, and am completely stuck with this one.
I have gone to the code screen and this is the error that shows up:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOrBoundsException: -14473
Resource = Main.mxml
Path = photohome_Vfx/src
Location = Unknown
Type = Flex Problem
I have tried importing several different files, but always get the same results. The files are all photo galleries that were generated using Slideshow Pro and Flash CS3. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Hey there,
I use SSP in Catalyst projects. I may not have the answer you're after. But I might be able to offer clues to the solution by showing you what I have that's enabled me to use SSP + Catalyst successfully. I've installed the most up-to-date SSP version. My images are hosted by director. I don't host them on my server.
I open Flash and choose Action Script 3. Then I do all the other stuff you know about. I hit publish and save the .flv, .html, and .swf files on my server. I save them in a directory that holds both SSP files and the Catalyst folders. You know, the ones Catalyst publishes when you hit save to Web.
For Catalyst I use Beta 2. A clean install after removing and deleting Beta 1. I simly make a catalyst file and then hit import media type .swf file. And voila.
Then I publish to Web and when I do this I choose to publish all the Catalyst files into the directory that will get put to the server. Then I go to the server and delete the folder that says "run local." I don't need that on the Web.
If I had an overall suggestion It would be to save your Catalyst projects. Delete Catalyst entirely and re-install it. Then delete SSP and re-install it. This shouldn't take more than 15 minutes of your time. After that...reflect, repent and reboot.
Peace,
Jim

How to import midi files into garage band for ipad

I have the newest iPad and installed Garage Band. I don't have a MAC computer, only Windows machines. I want to use the iPad to send the midi files to a Roland 150 keyboard to make it play the music. Is this even possible? The Roland has Midi In and Out ports and I have the camera adapter kit and a Yamaha UX16 USB to Midi cable.

You cannot export midi files from GarageBand, sorry. You can only share audio files in aac-format or GarageBand project files, and both are not midi. See what is currently supported: http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/1.2/index.html#chsec12c387
