Wav. file importing

I'm looking for any information or experience with importing the recordings that you can attach to images from Canon EOS-1s cameras. Aperture does not support these files on import and asks to download these elsewhere out of Aperture. These recordings are then separated from the image as they are not identified with the same rename hierarchy that is given in Aperture. If I performed a recording with every image I shot then I could perform a batch on the WAV. files that coincided with the image names but this is never the case. Is there something I'm missing? I have a very old version of iView that will import and keep the two files as the same name with only the extension being different that way the recording cans always be associated with the image. Is this possible in Aperture? Or do I have to hope for an update in the future. Any suggestions or ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.

It doen't warn you, but it's guite easy to change the sample rate of the session or the sample rate of the audio file.

  • Why doesn't a Wav file import convert to AAC?

    Hello,
    I tried the "add file to library" and the "import" menu options to add a wav file to itunes. For both methods, I found that although the file gets added to my library, its not in AAC format which is my default import format in my preferences.
    I can tell its not in AAC format by the 1400kbps rate which is normal CDA quality and not compressed. Also the file size is huge.
    Any ideas on how to import wav files from my hard drive to itunes library on same hard drive?
    Thanks for all help.

    Once you have added the WAV file to your library, select it. In the upper-right corner of your iTunes window, where it normally says Burn Disk, it should say Convert (or something to that effect).
    Clicking the icon will convert the file to the format and bitrate you have set in iTunes preferences.
    Once you convert the file, you can delete the WAV file from iTunes if you wish.

  • Pitch lowers on WAV files imported into Logic.

    I'm working on a remix project for a friend, and every time I import a WAV file into Logic, the pitch lowers by about 10 percent. I checked the actual WAV itself by playing it through quicktime and itunes, and it's fine. It's only once I import it into Logic that I have issues. An ideas? ThankS!

    Hi,
    guess the imported Files are sampled with 48 kHz, while you are trying to import into a 44.1 kHz Project. Set the project sample rate to 48 kHz or convert the files down to 44.1 before importing

  • ITunes will not import .WAV files encoded by iTunes...

    I just recently switched from a macbook pro running leopard to an imac with snow leopard. I needed to move my itunes to the new computer, but none of my wav files imported. On my macbook, I put the CD in and imported into iTunes directly using its own WAV encoder. All my mp3s imported fine. All the wav files play in quicktime and in preview.
    I know that itunes does not recognize some wav types, but I used itunes' own encoder, so it doesn't make sense that itunes wouldn't recognize them now...I don't want to have to reimport or re-encode these with another program =(
    Thanks!

    Are you positive they didn't import, or is it just that there aren't where you expect to find them? The thing about wav files is they don't accept tags, so if you import them they will just get added under the filename.
    I would just copy across the whole media folder with libraries and all, then start iTunes with the option key held down and point it at the media folder. This will just use the library in its new location and you don't have to import, etc.

  • Tempo problems with imported wav files

    Hey everyone, sorry if there's a quick fix for this in the forums that I couldn't find, but I've been having some tempo problems with imported .wav files.
    Long story short, my system couldn't handle playing all the tracks for a song while recording drums, so I bounced out an mp3 of the song and put it in a new Logic file so my drummer could just play along to that as I recorded him. Unfortunately, the original song is at 167 bpm, but I forgot to change the bpm in the new Logic file with the .mp3 file of the song to 167 bpm, so it was left at the default 120 bpm.
    So, the drums were recorded at the correct 167 bpm, but Logic thinks that those new drum .wav files should be played at 120 bpm, so when I import my drum tracks back into the original file, they do not play correctly at all.
    I could get record it all again, but I wanted to check if there was a way I could salvage what I already have, since my drummer lives about an hour away right now and can't just come over whenever he wants.
    Thanks for the help! I really appreciate it.

    Hi,
    First, do not use MP3 in Logic, the sound quality is less than AIFF, WAV or CAF, and Logic has to decode it for playback, making it a heavier burden on the CPU than an uncoded audiofile, such as AIFF, WAV or CAF.
    Secondly, audio files are independent of Logic's tempo. If you bounce down an audio file in any format (other than Apple Loop), it will play back at the same speed, +regardless of Logics' tempo setting+, either at recording or playback. Logic doesn't 'think' anything. The BPM is only important to MIDI tracks, or to the spacing between audio files. The audio files themselves *are not affected* by the tempo setting. If you import an audio file of tempo 167 into a 120 BPM project, the file will still play at 167, only Logic will indicate the wrong bar positions.
    regards, Erik.

  • Itunes won't import or convert .wav files?

    I have a bunch of .wav files that I wanted to import to itunes, so that I could convert/burn them to cd's. I don't have any problem playing the files in Quicktime. But when I import them, although it appears to work fine, if I try to play it, it won't play, it skips to the next song. When I try to convert to mp3, it gives me the message:
    Error occurred while converting the file "xxx".
    The disk could not be read from or written to.
    The files are just on my desktop, not on a CD. I don't have a problem converting other files. What could be causing this?

    Same complaint here. I use an 80gb iPod Classic with an Alesis iMultimix USB8 live mixer to record performances at our local open mic. Starting in April, the WAV files from the iPod would automatically stream into iTunes when I connected the iPod, and it was a snap to select a whole evening's worth and convert the lot to MP3 to save archiving space (by a ton). Starting in September, I seem to have some kind of random corruption of these files.
    Some hang up the program immediately upon being selected and the "convert to mp3" chosen from the Advanced menu. Others start to convert and then hang up, usually with 10-15 seconds left to convert. Others convert just as before without problems. I have had to force-quit iTunes a number of times to unlock the system. This is getting really old, and what was a semi-automated process has become one of picking through the files one by one, force-quitting when it hangs, then deleting the culprit when I re-open iTunes. I'm losing some irreplaceable recordings, which pretty much negates the whole purpose of capturing everything every week.
    I don't recall when I made the last prompted update of iTunes, but it very likely could have been just before this started happening.
    Another glitch in this recording method that's a bit off topic: there really should be a two-step procedure to delete a voice memo. More than once I have deleted an abortive performance, then recorded the next one. When I pause it and the menu comes up, it's easy not to notice that the selected option is still "delete". I make about 20 of these recordings every week, and it's my habit to select "stop and save" quickly so as to get the next one started. If we got a second screen asking if we're sure we want to delete, it would be easy to catch.
    The voice memo feature is great, especially with a mixer than can use the iPod as a hard drive to capture live performances, but the software needs work!

  • Cannot hear imported wav files in the output

    Hi, I am using Macromedia Captivate. Version 1.01.1447
    I have imported a wav file and when I am playing the slide containing the audio file everything is fine, in particular I hear my audio file. However, when going to the preview of the entire slideshow (or just 5 slides), or if I preview the show in the browser, I do not hear anything. Also, when exporting the movie as a standalone file, I don't hear anything.
    Does anyone know a solution for this issue?
    Thanks!

    If you can get to the instrument editor, drag and drop your regions or files onto the keyboard and answer the following questions. To preview it have an EXS24 loaded up with EXS Instrument #5678 (or whichever number it happens to be.

  • How do I import wav files from an external hard drive into itunes converting to aac?

    I have 270 gig of wav files on an external hard drive.  I am having trouble finding a way to import these into itunes while converting to aac

    Note that .wav files do not carry a tag. If you import files of the form ..\<Artist>\<Album>\## <Name> into iTunes it will fill in the name property as the filename ## <Name> and all other fields will be blank.  Assuming there is useful data in the path to capture, use Edit > Preferences > Avanced and disable the Keep... and Copy... options before adding the tracks to iTunes. You can then use the script TagFromFilename to fill in the blanks. Once this information is there you can convert the files to their new format and the converted files will inherit the track details.
    You might want to consider initially converting to Apple Lossless which could halve the physical size of the collection with no loss of quality, and permanently embed the tag details. You can then choose to make a downsampled collection while retaining the full quality lossless copies and completely discarding the .wav originals.

  • Is there a way to import metadata to wav files in my library?

    Is there a way to import metadata to wav files in my library?
    I have about 1,500 .wav files that are presently in my iTunes library, but as most of you are aware .wav files have their limitations with regard to how iTunes translates their specific track information. I haven't been archiving using .wav in sometime, I've since switched to another more iTunes friendly format. But, I have these 1,500 files left and I'm desperately trying to find a faster way to log the info.
    I've built a data table with all of the track information I want to import. Does anyone know of a good macro, or script that will allow me to import this data so I don't have to manually open each individual .wav file and input this manually?
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Note: I've searched the forums, and I've looked at similar posts, but nothing to solve this specific little quandary. If I've somehow overlooked a post, please forgive my repeat post.

    I can probably help with this.
    I have a script called TagFromFilename that can apply fill in the details that can be extracted from the file path if the .wavs are stored in the layout <Album Artist>\<Album>\[D-]## <Name>[ - <Artist>].<Ext> where D is an optional leading disc number and <Artist> is an optional trailing artist (otherwise both artist and album artist are set to the grandparent folder). You just need to make sure that before you add the tracks to iTunes, that it won't rename the files. You can do this by turning off the Keep option if the files are inside the media folder, or the copy option if the tracks are located outside.
    Alternatively I have another script called ExportImport which allows for almost any editable to be adjusted, as long as you can export the internal track IDs of each track and then marry them up with the data you want to import. See Batch Add Comments Tag Solution? for a previous example of how if might be done. I'll gladly go into more detail if you tell me what fields you already have and what identifying information is present.

  • "Input contract violation" error message when trying to import a .wav file into AE?

    I am trying to import a .wav file into AE and keep getting an "input contract violation" message from the program followed by it shutting down. If it means anything, I bought the song online, but it has been paid for and I downloaded the .wav file after my purchase. Any idea of why this may be happening? Are there any particular settings which may be mandatory on the project timeline to import a 3min song? Thank you!

    YOu have not provided any system info, not told us what version of AE you use, your audio setting, what specifics in the audio file and a million other things. See how it may not be possible for anyone to tell you anything beyond "Your computter sucks!" ???

  • When Importing a Mpeg 4 video, It converts only to a wav file...no video file or display

    I need to add some sound fx, and some voice over to a tv commercial.  I usually do this in protools, but I only have access to adobe audition at the moment.  The file is an MPEG-4 H.264, AAC..  After watching some videos all i thought I had to do was import the file into AA 6, and it would split it into a video track and an audio track..  However, I am only getting the audio track.  I checked my -----Preferences > Media & Disk Cache and "Enable DMLS Format Support" was already clicked.  I have restarted my computer and audition,, but still there is no video display, only the wav file audio from the video...How do I do this properly where I can see the video on a track or display, and then have the audio separate so I can edit it,,add fx, voice over, while the video is being displayed?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    -thx

    Any chance you can share a screenshot of your Files panel?  Video files, if the codec is supported, should import as the mp4 file (which contains the video stream) and a separate audio file is generated.  Both of which can be dragged into a multitrack session, as you expect.
    Audition CS6 does rely upon "DLMS" (which stands for DynamicLink Media Server) and can take a few additional seconds to launch.  It's possible this isn't launching properly.  Let's find out. 
    Launch Audition, wait 30 seconds or so, then launch Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor.app   Sort alphabetically and look for a process named "dynamiclinkmediaserver"  Does it exist in the process list?  Does it appear to be failing in some way?  You can also launch Console.app and see if OS X thinks it's failing to launch, and why.
    If that seems okay, try opening the MP4 file again, but try the following method:
    Click File > Open
    In the Enable dropdown at the bottom of the dialog, select MPEG Movie
    Select your video file and click Open.
    Please let us know your results and we can continue to troubleshoot

  • How to import a .wav file for adding to a clip in imovie 09

    I want to know how can we import a .wav file in Imovie 09.
    The sound is in some location on my 2nd hard disc.
    I checked this page
    http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-import-audio-into-imovie-09-project s.navId-323836.html
    but this does not help my requirement.
    I have a video in which there was a lot of hiss recorded via camera I exported the audio and using some audio filtering softwares cleaned the sound and now I want to import this clean sound back to my imoive project.
    It is a .wav file which is clean and without hiss.

    I see.By the time I saw your msg I had done the same and opened Itunes to play.
    There was an option in Imovie to import Itunes playlist or file and was able to do so.
    Any one will guess as in File some import menu
    should exist for this.In this case it was not that.
    mp3 clip needs to be played in Itunes
    where Itunes will make it a part of the mp3 library it has.
    Then Imovie 09 has a way to import the shared playlist from itunes.

  • How can I import and listen to a .wav file on my shuffle?

    Someone texted me a WAV audio file.  I was able to import into my iTunes library, but cannot listen to it on a shuffle. It appears in the shuffle's library, but does not play.  Do I need to convert it to a different format?

    According to this Apple support document, WAV files are supported by the iPod Shuffle.
    iPod shuffle: Compatible audio formats
    What happens when you try to play it on the iPod Shuffle? Were you even able to successfully sync or add the WAV file to the Shuffle via iTunes?
    Perhaps, it wouldn't hurt to try and convert it to another format anyways.

  • HT1473 In iTunes 11 is it possible to import WAV files whilst at the same time converting them to AAC?

    I've searched high and low and cannot for the life of me answer my own question. There are plenty of obsolete references to holding down option keys and clicking on something advanced but it's long deceased. iTunes is a monster! Help!
    I've been rippng my vinyl and converting the tracks to WAV outside of iTunes. Now I want to bring them in to iTunes but in AAC and without bringing in the WAV files at the same time.
    Thanks

    tt2 - don't recall if you know this but it's possible to add/convert in a single step prior to iTunes 11.
    I don't know about iTunes 11. I'll have a look later today.
    In iTunes prior to 11, Option (Mac) Shift (Windows), iTunes menu Advanced > Convert {whatever is set in Import settings}

  • Converting WAV files to mp3 upon import

    I have changed my import settings in itunes preferences to encode incoming wav files to mp3, restarted my computer, but when I import the wav file, it stays a wav file, no matter how I set my preferences. Why can't I make mp3's, or that is how the F**K can I get my computer to do what I'm asking it???
    P.S. I still love my mac, but jesus, come on!!!

    I have changed my import settings in itunes preferences to encode incoming wav files to mp3, restarted my computer, but when I import the wav file, it stays a wav file, no matter how I set my preferences.
    Import will only convert to the selected format when your RIP from CD or select a file already in iTunes then menu Advanced -> Create {import settings} version.
    Make sure your Import settings are MP3.
    Hold Option, go to iTunes menu Advanced -> Convert selection to MP3, then select the WAV files you want to add to yoru library
    This will convert them to MP3 and add them at the same time.
