URGENT! Missing audio files from a live recording due to Logic crash

Hi,
yesterday, in the middle of a (low budget) live recording, Logic gave me an error message saying "disk too slow" and stopped recording.
I was using the internal drive. I know this is not a proper habit, but I would have never thought that Logic could complain about the drive slowness with 2 tracks/24bit/44,1khz. Instinctively I pressed * at once but this caused the sequencer to start recording back from bar 1, making the previous 27 minutes of recording disappear, even from the audio files directory.
Is there anything I can do to recover the two AIFF files and avoid lots of swearwords from the customer?

Thanks for the sympathy musicspirit...
About Logic crashing... Actually, Logic didn't "crash", that is, the application didn't quit. It only stopped recording, displaying that "disk too slow". If truth be told, the timeline remained red, it stopped recording the two tracks. Then I pushed the "record" key and it started recording back from bar 1. As soon as I realised that it wasn't displaying the previous 27 minutes of recording anymore, I stopped the transport and something even more strange happened... Logic rendered the overview of the newly recorded two audio regions and started prompting error messages about one of them being an 8-bit audio file. Moreover, I had the Roger Nichols Inspector plugin open and in the meantime it went crazy too, displaying "9999" in the clips/consecutive clips/etc. counter.
I was listening with my headphones plugged into my Fireface and I can tell you that the audio coming from the soundcard was perfect during the Logic "crash". It never stopped, clipped, popped or anything similar.
About the audio path, audio file name... I always double check the audio recording path before starting a recording and it was exactly where it should be.
After the crash I recorded the second part of the gig on an external FW hard drive and everything went smooth. I simply can't find the audio files of the first 27 minutes anywhere on the drive. However I found out pieces of them with Data Rescue II among deleted files, but they are corrupted (interrupted by pink noise and square waves - BTW I plan to save one of them labelling it with "how an audio file dies").
It is really strange that such a powerful program (as Logic is) doesn't save an audio file if for some reasons it stops recording and you press record again...

I'm trying to extract audio files from my OLYMPUS Digital Voice Recorder VN-6200PC I am getting this error whenever I try to play its file type on my MacBook Pro,"The document "VN622195.WMA" could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized."

The mac has no native way to read .wma files (these are Windows Media Audio files). Do a search on the internet for playing wma files on a mac. You will find several links to solution (one is to use flip4mac).

Backing up audio files from music production apps onto sd card

Hi,
I was considering buying a new 128gb iPad Air, however I'm trying to find a cheaper alternative for my concern, I want to back up my audio files from BM2 onto an usb card via a camera connection kit from an iPad 3 32gb, it would be great if I could also read from it, especially two things in one go, I could use an SD card to store my audio files, and read into BM2, and also free the usb connector for a keyboard. I plan to start performing live and have produced more than 450 tracks, but I want each set to be unique, with different parts of different tracks playing via BM2 also with live keyboard performances routing through Audiobus. I find that like the next level compared to Djaying already produced tracks, also if I progress I could also manage a few live sessions while performing, via Samplr by recording samples from what's playing in output or sessions on other music apps which might not be Audiobus compatible, like iMPC, please could you give us this option to move audio files from device to SD card or usb to transfer onto a computer to back up, in case internet is very weak, or would Apple not allow it? I mainly produce on Intua Beatmaker and have been producing since 2009, I have a sound cloud account www.soundcloud.com/a-submitter, and a website www.asubmitter.com. Please since my internet connection is really bad, as though NSA are tampering with it or Sky are curtailing it, I cannot move bulk folders or files which I highlight via Filezilla, and sometimes moving one file takes ages working as low as 90kbps, when I have a fibre optical internet line from Sky, and it is supposed to be 8mbs upload and 15mbs download, my computer is a mac mini 2012, the latest, but not the highest spec, but still the internet performs as though it's ten years ago.
Thanks
Kash

The camera connection kit can only be used to copy photos/videos to the iPad's Videos app. If you want to leave feedback for Apple (these are user-to-user forums) then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Playing an audio file from applet

Hi friends,
I have a problem to be solved .
Please help me.
I have to play an audio file from applet.When the applet loads it shold start playing .There is a progress bar in the applet it shold alsomove corresponding to that.
How can i do that.Give me an idea.
I know nothing about jmf.
I am using j2sdk1.4,windows 2000 server.

Andrew,
Forgive my naivety, but i struggle with JAVA! I am desperately trying to create a JAVA plugin to SERVOY and have to date been successful with a few things. Record, Playback, convert to .spx.
I am really struggling with implementing a rewind and fastforward function of the type you have. I thought it would be easy, but it appears not.
At the bottom is the complete code from my class that is called by the servoy plugin wrapper,
i had thought that adding some simple jump 500 ms would have been easy in something like this:
public AudioStream js_FastForward (AudioStream as) throws IOException {
!!! Line or two here to move the play head forward !!!
     AudioPlayer.player.start(as);
     return as;
Can you give me any pointers to how i code that fast forward bit.
many thanks
David

Pro Tools Missing audio file message syndrom exists on Logic

I come from Pro tools and i am a bit traumatised by this fkn Pro Tools missing audio file message for those who know what i mean..
Is it something possible and frequent in logic when we work on a daily basis ?

No, you simply copy the entire project folder to a flash drive and bring it home. If you have included the audio files in the project folder, which logic does by default, logic will find them just fine at home. If it asks where they are, you just hit "search" and if they're there, If you've copied the song file to your drive without including the audio files ("pilot error") then the program can't find them. Often, I get protools sessions from clients with missing files. Sometimes the entire audio files folder is missing, but more often the missing files are out-takes that are no longer part of the arrangement, and were still in the audio file list of the song, but were not included in the folder when the project was copied and brought to me. How or why, I cannot tell you.

Can't play audio files from pre-Intel Mac

I have some audio files from my old PowerPc Mac (around 1998) which I'd dearly like to be able to hear again on my 2011 Intel G5 Mac (10.7.4).
The files were created by me on the old Mac using the basic sound recording software that came with all Macs. The files are just people speaking.
I have attached an image of the icon that is associated witho these files now. For some of these files, the properties show the file type as "QuickTime Player.app Document".I tried opening the files using Quicktime Player app, to no avail.
Other files are shown as being a "Unix Executable file" type.
I also have other files from the old Mac with this same icon. With those that I know were text files of some kind, I have just simply added .txt at the end of the filename and hey presto, the file is viewable again. I haven't been so lucky with the others.
I imagine also that its not so simple with these audio files but I wouldn't know what file extension to use as I haven't worked with audio files before.
Also, is there a way to keep these files in some generic format, to avoid this problem happening again in the future, as technology advances?
If you can help with this problem, please reply.

.... on my 2011 Intel G5 Mac (10.7.4)
There is no such thing as an Intel G5 Mac.

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.

Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

iTunes/iPod does not provide a way of copying tracks from an iPod to iTunes except for purchased music. But iTunes can play MP3 files without conversion.
Here are some ways of getting files from an iPod to your PC:
Copy from iPod to PC
It is important not to allow your iPod to sync with an empty library. If it is set to synchronise automatically you will get a message saying your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to sync – it is important to press cancel as syncing with an empty library erases all music from your iPod.
You can also prevent auto sync by holding down shift & ctrl as you plug in your iPod and keeping the keys held down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
Once you are connected, you need to set your iPod to manage music manually.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1535
If you have an iPod with iTunes Store purchases on it, you can use it to copy your purchases to other authorized computers.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
However this is not allowed for other music.
This MacMuse tip tells you how to copy music from your iPod using Windows Explorer, but it is a bit fiddly:

Otherwise you can use third party software to manage the transfer, there are a variety of programs out there, some free and some that will copy ratings and counts as well as the music files. Here is a selection, check them out and see what suits you.

HT1473 how do i save an audio file from a webpage to iTunes?

how do i save an audio file from a webpage to iTunes?

If the web page is designed to let you save files it will often have a download link, or if it is a link to the file directly you can try to right click on the file. If it isn't set up that way then they probably don't intend for the file to be downloaded.

Playing the audio file from the point of mark

Hi All, i want to play a audio file from the point of mark.
i have used mark() method to mark but when i play the audio it is still playing the audio from the starting point. please help me.

Hi,
Question:
1. You have a folder for each DVD whose video contents you edited.
Answer: Yes
Question:
You talk about projects 34, 35, 36, 37. Are these projects associated with only one specific DVD?
What is supposed to be in each project - just edited VTS_01_1.VOB or edits from the others in the series
such as VTS_01_2.VOB, VTS_01_3.VOB, etc.
Answer:
Project 34 has edited Premiere Elements file 34 and the VOB files (VST_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, etc) from DVD#34
Project 35 has edited Premiere Elements file 35 and the VOB files (VST_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, etc) from DVD#35
Project 36 has edited Premiere Elements file 36 and the VOB files (VST_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, etc) from DVD#36
etc.
Question:
2. If you screen each DVD video file VOB for a given DVD disc, does the content follow sequentially and cleanly?
Answer:
Yes
When I run the VST_01_1.VOB, VTS_01_2.VOB, etc from each project the audio and the video are clean and match.
When I run the edited Premiere Elements file that were created after project 34 edited Premiere Elements file project 35, 36, 37 etc. I am getting the audio from project 34
When I run the edited Premiere Elements file that were created before project 34 edited Premiere Elements file project 1, 2, all the way to 33. I am getting the correct audio
Thanks,
Ron

MPEG1 Muxed - MISSING AUDIO FILES

I have a few QT clips that are MPEG1 Muxed. When I import into FCP all I get is the video file and not the audio file. Is there a way obtaining the audio files from a Muxed clip?

Rather than demuxing with MPEG Streamclip , this demuxing advice which is tirelessly offered to many who then have no idea what to do with separate video and audio stream files, use MPEG Streamclip to export the MPEG-1 to DV and let it do the work for you in one pass. It can export to all QT formats and DV and you get the video and audio in a ready to use file. Better no?
Keep in mind MPEG-1 which is typically 352X240 at <30 fps will suffer a lot quality-wise when upsampled to 720X480 at 30 fps. There is not much data there to work with.

How do I convert a .wma Audio file from a pc to .mp3 for itunes on a mac

I downloaded music from my PC laptop into an external drive. When I connected the external drive to the mac, the .wma Audio files from the PC will not transfer to iTunes on the Mac.
Thanks for any help.

iTunes on the PC will convert wma. iTunes on a Mac won't.
On your PC, add the wma files to iTunes.
iTunes will convert to whatever you have set in iTunes prefs > General - Import settings.
Then copy the imported files to the external then File > Add to library on the Mac.
