Naming audio

Naming audio

2005-05-26 by tim_trax

Using Express 6 
I recorded 4 bars of audio.  I copied it on the arrange page using option-drag method.
I transposed the copied audio.  Both the copy and the original tranposed. (I didn't want 
that)
 How do I make my copy independant?

In any Logic, When you choose an audio path for a recording you are forced to name the 
audio.
That is the last time you ever see that name.  When you record it becomes things like
"audio 1 #31'
What use is the name you give audio if you never see the name? Why does Logic force you 
to name audio?  In fact , since you name the audio and later see it named something else, 
it is very confusing. Why Why Why?
I could see it if you named it "tree"  and then your first recording was called  tree1   and 
then tree2.  This would make sense and be useful and helpful.

No you dont have to give it a name when you select your recording path.
Logic puts a default name in the dialog box when you do it, cant remember what it is off the top of my head, but this has no effect on the name of your audio files and you dont have to actually put anything in the dialog when you choose your path..
The name of your audio files comes from the name of the track youre recording on.
This is how Logic has always been AFAIK.

thanks

why do you suppose it wants a name?   Does it use it somehow?

No, this is a selectable feature ("use object name as filename" or something) 
and IIRC it was introduced in Logic 6.

It's a convenient function when you name your tracks (not when you leave them 
"audio 1"). :o)

It is true that you HAVE to enter a filename when selecting the record path, 
this is because the standard fileselector is used and it doesn't want to 
leave without having an actual filename. As long as you enter one letter, it 
is happy.

And if you want to manually enter filenames, deselect the "use object name" 
function, it's a checkbox in the audio record path dialog.

You are not copying your audio to the arrange page. You are putting an alias to your audio file htere. Thus anything you do it will affect the original. To make a copy, and preserve the original go the audio window, and there is a command (or key command) to copy/move audio. Copy it and give it a new name, then update the reference. You could also duplicate it in the finder, give it a new name, and drag that back to logic's arrange or audio pages.


>T
hat is the last time you ever see that name.

No, thats now true. You can rename files from the audio page. Click on the name, and change it. You might get the "no mess?" option which is bizarrely worded, but that means "do you want to change other file names this session without this annoying dialog box?" - click YES, and then you can change the file names one by one.

help! no audio, only high noises since 2 days... :(

2005-05-29 by Andreas Thedens

Hello!

I have a real weird problem - since today.

I can play music with iTUnes - everything is fine and played throughj the
Motu 828 mk2´s main out.
If I want to playback something with Logic Pro 7.1 or Quicktime or iMovie I
got weird high noises - no sound - only this noises - on all outs - even if
I change to headphones or the other outs (even the non-connnected outs) as
main out I got the high sounds through the main output - and nothing else.

If I start playback in Logic, I got "audio-midi synchronize" problems - right after starting playback.

If I change to internal sound everything is fine, Quicktime and all other
tools play just as would have been nothing happened.

It does not depened on which sample rate I choose.

I did reinstall the MOTU drivers (latest) - no help.

If I have something running in iTunes (playing back normal) and then start
Quicktime or Logic - the iTunes out is not hearble anymore - only the high
noises which sound like a digital problem.

I changed the firewire port - same problem.

I did not install anything new since yesterday only some widgets, everything
was fine when I went out of the house (system was put to sleep) - when I was
back everything was bad.

Same problem in Ableton Live 4.1.3

I have a Dual 2 GHZ G5 (one of the older systems), running on Tiger 10.4.1
since the release (with no problems), Logic Pro 7.1, Motu 828mkII, 2.5 GB
Ram, 2x internal Seagate 160 GB S-ATA drives, 1x external Lacie D2 Extreme
with Triple Interface 250 GB drive.

Any help, any hint what might have happened, any clues, any help whom I
should call (Apple? Motu? is it a hardware problem? software problem? would
be appreciated as for now I am not able to continue to work (and I have to
get done some remixes)...

All answers please also to my private email ( thedi[at]kiew[dot]org )  as this is urgent and I am not
reading this group all the time....

Help! Help! Help!

is your MIDI interface on? it sounds like a problem of external sync which is perhaps on but there is no input signal. check that everything runs on sync intern.
check on MOTU mailing lists, they may know more

Seems  to be the drive for your motu sound card, check with motu if 
that drive works fine with Tiger and Logic 7.1, I use to have a similar 
problems with M-audio drives and Native Instrumens Apps. as stand 
alone, just noise coming out of the sound card, also check the buffer 
size, you may be need to increase the buffer....

Peace
