Why won't Logic split imported 24 bit wav files?

I've got "Force Interleaved files to split" checked but Logic won't do it with 24bit wav files,( it will with 16bit). Also, it won't let me use the crosssfade tool until I copy the file and change it to a split 24 bit file.
I've got the driver set to SDII, 24bit, 44.1.
What gives?

...anybody?
This can't only be happening to me.

Why won't Logic work in 64 bit?

Hello,
I recently upgraded to a Mac Pro, Quad Core 2 x 2.66 gHz. I'm running Snow Leopard and Logic 9.1.1.
Shouldn't Logic now run in 64 bit mode? Do I need to set something up in the preferences?

First thing that popped up when I googled Logic 64 bit.

Why won't iMovie 08 import a Quicktime movie file?

Hello everyone,
I've created a Quicktime movie from Keynote. I've tried 720P and dv (but the quality is dire in dv). I can't drag and drop, and when I call up the import box the file is greyed out.
iM 08 seems to have so many problems. I use Keynote a lot in movies, always with exceptional results in iMovie HD.
Am I doing something wrong, or is the software no longer able to do this?
Thanks.

In Keynote, make sure you are using a timed slideshow, not a manual advance track. iMovie will not edit extraneous tracks like tween tracks, closed captioning tracks, chapter tracks, manual advance tracks, etc.

Why won't my nano accept alac or wav files when I try to transfer them from my itunes library?

I've ripped my cd collection into itunes in either alac or wav format. Now when I try to add some of these music files to my ipod nano 3rd. gen., they always transfer to the ipod as a aac file. I know that I have to go to preferences and adjust the settings in the pop ups to whichever format I want to make the music files in, and I've done all of this. I'm not sure if I'm missing something here, or if my computer or my 2 ipods are broken somehow. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Check that you don't have this setting checked in the Summary section of iTunes for your iPod:
Otherwise you should be OK - AFAIK all iPod nano models support WAV and Apple Lossless, and a quick test with a 7g nano suggests that syncing a WAV file creates a WAV file on the iPod. If you're seeing something different then some deeper digging may be required ...

How do i import 32bit format wav files

I can import 16bit and 24bit but it won't let me import 32bit files. I'm a beginner so can anyone possibly help?

Logic doesn't current support 32-bit conventional audio files.
You'll need to convert them to 24-bit and import them that way. I'm not sure offhand if Logic will import 32-bit CAF files, as I haven't tried, but you could try that if you have another application that can convert to CAF format files.

HELP - 88.2 k 24-bit wav file is slowing down when imported to garageband

i have an 88.2 k 24-bit wav file that is slowing down when imported to garageband. How do i get around this problem?

You need to convert it to 44.1 16 bit. You can do that with iTunes.

Can't use my 32 bit wave files

hej,
I switched to Mac not long ago.
I now have Logic express and it can't import the 32 bit wave files i recorded with my mackie onyx, back when i was working on PC with Samplitude.
Is there an easy way to make it work fine, straight from Logic Express...? Or any other way using another programm ?
Thanks helping...
macbook pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi, you should use a samplerateconverter to convert to 24 Bit.
A nice free Batchconverter is AudioMove v1.14:

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.

How do you import multi track wav files

How do you import multi track wave files into Logic Pro?
These files are form a Sound Devices 664 mixer.

Is this a 5 or 6 channel single wav file?
I don't believe Logic will import these but can't be 100% sure because I'm not using the very latest version, I'm at 9.1.5 because it's stable. I do know that "SoundTrack Pro" that shipped with the disk version of Logic can export multichannel files so I'm guessing that it may very well open them as well. Soundtrack Pro has been discontinued but if you do have it, make sure it's the latest version.
Or... if you know anyone with the Nuendo DAW, it will open multichannel wavs which you can then export to any format you wish.
Might also want to look at "Reaper" it may well open Multichannel WAV files and has a 30 or 60 day trial license and only costs $60 for a license. An amazing DAW mainly developed by a single individual.

Logic X won't import a 64 bit .wav file. Why?

I'm trying to import .wav files created with FF Tools into Logic for some editing, but it says the audio file is "in a 64 bit format and cannot be used". Why is this? I thought Logic X was 64-bit friendly?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

There is also no point in using 64 bit audio files. Even 32 bit floating point is already overkill. The best choice for recording is 24 bit, for internal processing 64 bit floating point does make sense, but not for storing.
In any case, your mac comes with a very capable audio file format converting utility that can be used from the command line and reads/writes practically any audio file format you will encounter, including 64 bit wav. Type "afconvert" on your command line in terminal.app to see the options it offers. If you're not used to using the command line you might find this very uncomfortable, but it's really worth getting into it.
Let me know if you need help,

Why won't my mpeg import into imovie?

Hi,
Just got a new macbookpro 17inch. Liking it but having to learn the switch to mac. I have an mpeg file i want to try to resize, but imovie doesn't seem to recognize it at all. I thought macs were supposed to be the computers where everything just worked. Why won't it let me take this in? I thought mpegs were fairly common and quicktime has no problem opening it. Am I using the wrong program? Do I need to go back onto my ancient Toshiba and use Windows Movie Maker just to resize a video?

I wonder why apple didn't just make it so that imovie could read those files. If windows movie maker can than it must be possible to do. Wouldn't they have anticipated that someone might take video on a hand held camera and then want to edit that video in some way? Is there some reason or advantage of them having made it this way instead of not just making the program do everything that someone might want to do?
There is a problem regarding the difference in technologies. QT Is Apple's proprietary multimedia software system. It is modeled on magnetic film strips and/or video tape which employ separate audio and video heads/tracks for playback. MPEG-1 files, on the other hand, contain a single stream of data which is composed of interspersed blocks of audio and video data. Thus, the different technologies require different "engines" to work properly. Since Apple only supports its own technology base as it applies to rigid standards, anything outside this scope is not supported. For instance, QT is very particular when it comes to files being properly terminated and proper time coded while muxed formats like MPEG-1, MPEG-2, VOB, Flash, etc. files are notorious for having broken time codes since these files rely on the physical interspersing of data blocks. Windows files are also very rely on FourCC codes/extension for proper playback while QT files frequently rely on the specific data instead for proper playback. In addition, files like MPEG-2 are edited at the GOP (group of pictures) level which normally consist of a repeated cycle of I-, P-, and B-frame types (e.g., IBBPBBPBBPBBPBB) while QT files are edited at the individual frame level. And so on and so forth. While some applications may contain "hybrid" engines to handle multiple technologies, Apple has typically supported its own technologies. They are, for instance, not in the habit of supporting codecs contained in the AVI file container which Microsoft dropped a decade ago but which is still in such common use by Windows users that it has not been allowed to die a dignified death. In short, Apple is looking ahead to the new codecs which are highly scalable and very versatile in terms of data rates/file size efficiency which can handle anything from e-mail clips up to SD content and beyond to full HD encodings. While an MPEG-1 VCD may offer compatibility with a wide range of older devices it does not offer the same quality to storage capacity ratio offered by H.264/AAC encoded files.
how did you quote just specific parts and make them blue.
I use the Level 4 mini text editor.
Are you typing in your own html codes or something?
Sometimes. For instance, the new forms are not as HTML "quote" or "line feed" friendly as the old forum. So I no longer indent the blue quoted text and use the "

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!

Why won't the new Photos app accept JPG files from my Kodak Easy Share like iPhoto did?

Why won't Photos accept JPG files from my camera like IPhoto did?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
I would note there is a long-standing issue between Kodaks and some versions of OS X - the workaround for that is to use a USB Card reader.

Premier won't let me import a simple AVI file? Says "unsupported or damaged file." Help!

I did a 3d animation in 3ds max and I rendered it as an AVI, per my instructor, and then tried to import it into Premier to be able to add audio and edit it a little. When I try to import any of the files (I had three different cameras in 3ds max so I rendered 3 different AVI's) it just says "Unsupported or damaged file" for all three of them. The files play just fine in media player and work everywhere else on the computer, but stupid premier won't let me import! What should I do? I'm worried if I convert it to another file type that it'll destroy the compression. This is for a class and we have to have a very specific file size and type. Please help me!
P.S. I'm not very good with code and programming, I don't know what a CODEC or a wrapper or any of that stuff is, please just give me suggestions of what to do and how to do it. Thanks so much!
