FCPX, problems in window/record audio/monitor/choose 'airplay'.

I had to record a voice over (audio by dropmenu windows/record) there are options for mic and monitor. By monitor one is 'airplay'.
I wanted to find out the purpose of this.You need a password. I tried several times (my standaard and only password for fcpX, iTunes, apple TV etc.) but that will not be accepted as the message say.
I wanted to quit at least but I had to try again several times to quit because the demand for a password comes back and the options in "record" to switch there does not appear.
I had to try several times before the options suddenly came back (the message disapeared too) to end this exercise.
Three questions:
1. what does the function airplay mean?
2. what to do with the password-problem?
3. could this all be a bug?
Thanks!

Airplay is the functionality that lets your mac or ios device play audio (and/or video) to an AppleTV, like it were another audio device. If you have an AppleTV, or Airport Express, you can select that as an audio output device, much like you can select your headphones or other audio output.
This is not a good option for monitoring audio in an application such as FCP X, as there will inevitably be a lag due to buffering, at least.

Missing audio slider in "window" record audio (fcpX10.0.6)

After updating to the new version the audio slider in menu "window, record audio" is not there.
Is this a bug?

somtimes by starting this window the slider jumps very quickly from the right to the left and remains there... A certain amount of level is still there so i can use it by loud speaking near to the mic...

i have a problem with windows in after effect in my monitor
my monitor is 15.6 and resolution is 1366*768
for example when i open interpret footage window i can't see that complete and amount of size window dont visible.
Thanks.

Your system doesn't meet the requirements and that is that. AE has required 900 pixel height ever since CS4. Other than changing your screen res or shuffling around windows there is nothing you can do.

In FCP. Trying to record voiceover. Go to Window, Record Audio, see the record window and FCP quits in about 2 seconds.

Trying to record audio voiceover. Go to Window, Select Record Audio, see the record window and FCP quits in about 2 seconds. Can't get started??

I think you've got the right driver selected, otherwise it wouln't work at all. The single most obvious thing to ask you though (I'm sorry if this is too basic) is where you have the pan controls set to? To get each mic to record on a single channel, you'd have to have one panned hard left and the other panned hard right. If you leave them both panned dead centre, that's exactly what you get - both mics on both channels.

Problems centralizing windows on dual monitor

Hi all,
every time I create a JFrame on my aplication, I use the method setLocationRelativeTo trying to centralize it.
I used to pass null to this method every time I call it, but recently I got a dual monitor and discovered that passing null to it makes the new frame open half in the left monitor and half in the right monitor.
Most of the times, it opens centralized in the primary display, but sometimes things get messy.
Does anybody knows how can I make frames open on the same display the application is showing?

Take at look at this class (and the example that is given)

Level Meters on "Record Audio" have disappeared

I'm using 10.0.8 with OS 10.8.3 and yesterday connected a Blue Microphone Yeti as the Sound Input Device. When clicking Window>Record Audio, the window to select the Destination, Input Device, Gain and so on appears but the level meters at the top of the window are unresponsive. That is, the sound level scale is present but no green bars show input level. I can still record a voice-over fine, the clips appear in the timeline and the sound meters on playback display properly but yesterday the "Record Audio" meters worked and today they're gone. Any ideas on what I could have done to make them disappear?

So it doesn't sound like it's a hardware or drivers problem.
I updated to 10.0.8 and I cannot find a way to reproduce this. (But I'm not running 10.8.)
Try the trashing your preferences with Preference Manager.
Good luck.

Monitoring and recording problem with midi vs audio firewire

I'm trying to record my Roland synth via Inspire firewire box into Logic express. I'm able to record and monitor thru the output of the inspire box. However If I'm using firewire, I can't hear other midi file tracks and vice versa. I keep switching input and output sources in the control settings but it seems like I either have to use all midi tracks or all audio tracks. Same situation with playback. I know this is wrong but am totally stumped. Any advice would by awesome.

Dave, You might need an external DAW to do this, I got it working and I'm an idiot. There is only one I/O for logic and if you use it for the audio recording it's not available for the sounds you want to have coming out of logic. I have Roland Edirol UA-25USB2 and it works like a charm, If I understand what I did correctly, the sound and MIDI messages are routed via an Aggregate Device in the audio/MIDI set-up [you configure the device in the audio half] to the Edirol, and there are many extra functions to choose from-I avoid the 3.5mm audio out headphone plug by routing audio out through the DAW Edirol-much better sound quality than the mini stereo jack.

Recording Audio with iPod Nano - Request Software Stereo Monitor

I'm posting this message hoping that an Apple employee will read it...
The iPod Nano used in conjunction with the Belkin TuneTalk Stereo adapter turns the Nano into an excellent solid-state 16bit / 44.1KHz digital audio recorder. However, there is no visual indication that audio is being recorded on the Nano when recording is initiated - no stereo audio monitor with a volume indicator bar for the left & right channels is present. Most audio recording applications provide a left & right stereo volume indicator bar to display real-time audio clipping or low input volume... colored green at the bottom, yellow near the top, and red at the very top for audio clipping when the input volume is too loud.
While I understand that the main purpose of the iPod is for audio playback, I would ask Apple to include a stereo audio monitor in an upcoming iPod software update (soon). Perhaps as a starting point, you can borrow code for the live equalizer monitor that appears at the top of the iTunes window when the little right-arrow is pressed in the virtual LCD screen area.
While I have had no problems to date recording on the iPod Nano, it would be reassuring to know that the device is actually recording audio. It would be unfortunate to record an hour-long interview believing everything is fine, but then discover that no audio had been recorded. The presence of a stereo audio monitor would help deter this fear.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jaspo

Trying to record Stereo Mix with a monitor through my headphones. Using Screenium to record Audio and Video, using Avid MBox Mini with MXL 909 Microphone for the audio through the interface.

Basically, what I am trying to do is this:
Record my screen through Screeenium, record my voice as audio through an Avid MBox Mini (interface) with a MXL 909 microphone to pick up the audio. I have all that figured out. I'm able to efficiently record my audio and screenplay through these instruments and programs. What I am having trouble with is the stereo mix. I am running into a slew of problems here... My goal: Add on the audio of a game that I am playing (for example, Amneisia) so that the audio for my game will be picked up internally, and not through the speakers to be recorded through the microphone. I want there to be no external sound except me talking into my microphone. I also want to be able to HEAR the audio of the game through my headphones (and if possible, myself as well, through a monitor maybe?)
Problems I have run into so far:
-Haven't gotten it to pick up in game audio at all while using headphone. Can't figure this out
-Downloaded soundflower, have the output as soundflower. Not picking up anything, will put all my sound and midi settings at the end.
-When I do record through my microphone, it is only picking up a single channel (left earpiece only, no right channel)
-I have figured out it is NOT the equipment, I use Pro Tools and am able to pick up both channels with my mic, recorded a few tests. It's settings and I can't figure it out
-Trying not to run 16 million programs while running the game, will cause lag.
Summed up:
Trying to record:
-Audio from gameplay of any game I am playing through alternative route of speakers (do NOT want to record game audio through speakers, internally)
-Record voice through Avid MBox Mini and MXL 909 microphone.
-Record screen gameplay through Screenium
I followed a guide that told me to achieve "stereo mix'' I need to download soundflower and follow "X" steps. That is done and these are my current settings:
Audio Midi Setup - Stereo Mix custom Aggregate Device, Soundflower (2ch) selected, Avid Mbox Mini selected, Soundflower Output #1 has 2 channels (1-2), using Avid MBox mini for "Input" in order to record. Using Soundflower AND Avid MBox mini as "Output" in order to hear the sounds and replay game sounds (could be the problem? Maybe?)
Sound Settings - Output Stereo Mix (custom channel) Input Avid MBox Mini (recording)
I'm hoping this isn't too hard to understand.. I'm VERY bad at explaining information regarding computers.. It's hard becuase I don't understand it. I can clarify anything that I am able to, so any help on finding certain things would be greatly appreciated.
My computer: Macbook Pro MAC OS X Lion (11G63) 10.7.5 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 4GB 13333 MGz DDR3 (If any of this is imporant)

Hey guys,
I tried to do some research and it looks like you need to have an external device and its drivers, such as an external microphone, installed on the computer to record audio that can be saved as a sound file. Another Suggestion is to try an auxiliary spliter for your headphones and external speakers?
What software are you using to record your game?
If anyone knows anything different, please let me know.
Thank you for being a part of the Lenovo Family,
Catie

I'm trying to record audio into my iPad2 using GarageBand and an iRig, but I can't monitor my tracks at the same time as recording, meaning if I lay down a drum track and attempt to record guitar, I can't hear the drums while recording. Thoughts?

I'm trying to record audio into my iPad2 using GarageBand and an iRig, but I can't monitor my tracks at the same time as recording, meaning if I lay down a drum track and attempt to record guitar, I can't hear the drums while recording. Thoughts?

Hi, I have this exact same problem. I haven't been using an iRig, just a cheap USB-jack cable. I managed to do this with the first cable I bought, but since it broke I've been unable to find a replacement that allows me to hear the drums while recording. DId you manage to get over this issue? If so I would really like to know how. Thanks and best wishes.

Problem with the preview of recorded audio

Hi lads! I'm running Logic 8 in my iMac, with a RME Fireface400 interface (connected through a Lacie external firewire hard disk), and I have a small problem.....
I'm trying to record audio using my audio interface. I can record audio into Logic with no problem, everthing works fine, but the recorded audio part just looks empty in Logic! It is really recorded, and it sounds, but it just look like an empty audio part.
If i close the project and I re-open it, the audio is prevosialized and it looks fine.
I know it is a small deal, but it can be very annoying! This thing happens since I bought the RME, but....it really looks like a Logic issue....
Is there any option like "auto preview recorded audio" in Logic? Does anybody know how to solve this little issue?
Thanks!

So what you are saying is that no overwiew of the waveform has been drawn? And that it has been drawn when you reload the song?
Open the region with the audio file in the *Sample Editor*, and choose *Refresh Overview(s)* from the *Audio File* menu in the Sample Editor.
regards, Erik.

Problem recording Audio since 10.5.7 update

Hi,
I have a MBP Late 2008 and a Mackie Spike XD-2 sound card (used with USB), Garageband 4.1.2 and Logic pro 8.0.2
However since the update, every time I record audio with the Mackie, all audio guitar and vocals is distorted, crackly and almost electronic sounding.
I have tried it through Garage band and Logic pro 8.0.2. and both have the same effect.
I was able to record fine on 10.5.6 and I know that there is nothing wrong with the sound card as it works on another macbook running a lower OS prior to 10.5.7.
I haven't got time machine running. I do have an external HD for my PC but when I connected it to my mac it said that I would have to re-format it which I am unable to do due to the large amount of windows documents on it.
I am really unsure whet to do. Can you roll back to 10.5.6 by re-installing it? or if I re-install my original OS and update to 10.5.6 will it remove all of my data and programs.
Please help, I'l tearing my hair out here and really need to get my recording done.
Thanks

Of course not, but some old printers and other hardware will eventually not be supported.
According to Apple, Snow Leopard will only run on Intel machines.
"Mac computer with an Intel processor - 1GB of memory"
No jus joking but really they must have some liability for ensuring the compatibility of 3rd party devices that were compatible in previous versions of Mac os x.
They cannot insure that each and every piece of hardware in the world is supported by every update. It's up to the user to properly vet the updates. The best way is to clone the OS and update the clone and see what works and what does not work.
I mean mackie doesn't write the software?
They don't? Somebody does. Maybe that's the problem.

Problem recording audio in iMovie

I am currently having problems recording a voice over in iMovie. I have checked the The system settings and it is recognizing my usb microphone as the source for input. I can also record audio within another project, just not in the one I want to. This makes me think something has been changed within the project settings. Any suggestions?

If the QT movies"that iMovie generates" are fine, then your DVDs that iMovie makes may be fine since iDVD uses QT movies. I would try one, SHare to MEdia Browser at the highest resolution (this can take hours) then open iDVD and migrate to that movie, drag it into iDVD window and burn and see.

Record audio file in a wav file format using QuickTime 7 Pro for Windows?

Is it possible to record audio file in a wav file format using QuickTime 7 Pro for Windows? The system I want to upload audio files that I record to requires they be in a wav file format / PCM - 112025kh / 8 bit mono / 11.05khz
Something tells me no...and I bought this upgrade for nothing...GRRRRRRR

QuickTime Pro for Windows allows you to make audio recordings from some input devices.
You can then "export" these new files to .wav format at any setting you choose.

My recorded audio came out "broken" than when i was monitoring while recording an audio

Im using a focusrite scarlett 2i2 as audio interface, an old Yahama MG102c mixer.They worked fine during the past few days but recently my recorded audio turns out distorted and full of static which is way different then when i was monitoring it. The recordings sounded perfect this past few days but suddenly it produces these kinds of annoying extra sounds. Is there a problem with my equipment or is there a problem with the program itself? Any chance of repairing the audio file and fixing the problem itself? any help is appreciated. Thank you! If you dont get what i mean i can send you a sample. Just email me here [email protected]

Anything here help?
