Maximum audio capture time

How long can Garageband V.2 continuously capture an audio source?
I tried recording about 35 minutes worth, but the track runs out at 999. Can I extend this?
I was able to edit out the parts that I didn't want, thereby cutting it down to 23 minutes...and I didn't actually lose any content that was recorded past 999, but of course I'd like to see then entire wave form in its raw before editing.
Thanks

So just so I'm sure --
PRIOR to capturing the audio, I would lower the tempo right?
That won't change how it sounds on playback and exporting?
Thanks!

Audio Capture from DV Tape

I've reviewed many posts here about audio capture but, I am unable to figure out what the "trick" is to capturing audio alone with the video using the new iMovie. I'm connected via Firewire and I'm able to view the video in capture mode but, I hear no sound. I've checked iMovie Preferences and System Preferences and everything seems to be OK there.
Is this the way this new version of this program functions? I wish I didn't have to post a msg here because, I'm trying to read the previous post and trying anything that seems to pertain to my issue without the desired results.
Can someone please shed some light on what's going on with this function of this program?

I assume you are wanting to hear the audio as you are importing and not that you have no audio once it is imported.
imovie 08 doesn't play audio while importing. While you are using tape (that imports in real time) imovie now imports from a variety of different types of camera such as AVCHD (which isn't imported at real time. Therefore it is no longer logical to playback audio on import.

Media Encoder not finding "audio capture device"

Hi,
Im using Adobe Flash Media Encoder with Dxtory for Twitch streaming, and at first it worked fine. Recorded both my mic and game audio perfectly. Then seemingly suddenly, I fired it up and it wouldn't stream the game audio. It would my Mic, but thats it. I then unplugged the mic and it started saying I had no Audio Capture Device. I checked in Dxtory and its set up the same as it was when it was working. It picks up both the mic and speakers like it should. I have uninstalled this program multiple times, both 3.1 and 3.2 versions, and each time when I re-download it, it loads up the same profile I had before. So when I am uninstalling it, its not uninstalling everything for some reason. Even though the program is no where to be found after its uninstalled. I have downloaded xsplit, and it picks up the game audio and my mic. So its just this program. Anyone have any ideas? I cant seem to find anything online about this issue.
Thanks!

From where? PP sequence? PP bin? PP Source Monitor? Watch folder?

Audio Capture only happens if its more than 5 seconds

Hello,
I'm writing a midlet that does audio capture on the LG CU500 phone. When I capture for 5 seconds or more, audio capture works as intended, however if I only record for under 5 seconds, it doesn't work. There is no timer. Would could be causing the problem?
Thanks
aztec30

Here is a snippet of the code that i'm using. When playing back, if I record say 10 seconds, I only hear about 7 seconds of the recording. About 3 seconds are cut off at the end. If I record for say less than 4 seconds, nothing seems to be recorded, nothing plays back.
To record I do the following
try {
if(player != null)
player.stop();
if(ctrl != null)
ctrl.commit();
player.deallocate();
player.close();
ThreadSleep(500);
if (player==null) {
player = Manager.createPlayer("capture://audio?encoding=audio/amr");
player.realize();
player.prefetch();
player.addPlayerListener(playerListener);
is = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ctrl = (RecordControl)player.getControl("RecordControl");
ctrl.setRecordStream(is);
ctrl.startRecord();
player.start();
} catch (Throwable e) {
Once recording is stopped I do this
try {
player.stop();
ctrl.commit();
player.deallocate();
player.close();
Thread.sleep(500);
if (is !=null) {
playback= Manager.createPlayer(new ByteArrayInputStream(is.toByteArray()),
"audio/amr");
playback.addPlayerListener(playerListener);
playback.start();
} catch (Throwable e) {

DigiVox A/D - Cannot render audio capture

Hello, i have DigiVOX A/D. I configured it and I can watch TV. But when I try to capture it, there is a "Cannot render audio capture" message. I tried a lot of parameters changes but nothing helped. Can you please help?
Juso

So I did some more testing. Now it works this way:
I can watch TV and it works OK. When I click capture it doesn't work and it writes error message "Cannot render audio capture". I go to settings and setup to capture only audio. I try to capture. I do some more modifications. It still doesn't work. But on some point of configuration (I could't find exaxtly when) the sound stops during watching. And if I try to capture at that time, it captures OK with audio and video. It doesn't matter whether I use Mpeg 2 or Mpeg 4. Both works. So I think codecs are OK. And it works so (no audio during watching and good audio and video during capture) till I close the application. When I start it again, there is sound when watching and error when clicking capture button. And again I can do some settings modification (random) and after some config steps it start capture but stops audio while watching.

Scripting QTP to start a new Audio Capture

I'm trying to find a way to have QTPro open and start recording an audio capture at a preprogrammed time of day.
Sort of a audio DVR if you will.
What app do you think I can use that has a clock I can link to QT?
Thanks

Auto-stack by capture time not correct

Hi,
I have 28 photographs taken sequentialy but not at same intervals; they are part of a collection. I proceed to select all of them and choose "Stacking-Auto stack by capture time..." from the context menu and choose time between stacks as 0:01:00 (one minute)
However I find the capture time of photos in any one stack exceed 1 minute!! For instance, these are the capture times of photos in a single stack:
8:19:12PM, 8:19:25PM, 8:19:43PM, 8:20:24PM, 8:21:19PM, 8:21:45PM
We can clearly see that the capture times between members of this stack are not within 1 minute. What can is happening?
Thanks,
Juan Dent

However I find the capture time of photos in any one stack exceed 1 minute!! For instance, these are the capture times of photos in a single stack:
8:19:12PM, 8:19:25PM, 8:19:43PM, 8:20:24PM, 8:21:19PM, 8:21:45PM
This is a maximum interval setting. It has nothing to do with the total timespan of the whole sequence. Just, how closely-spaced the individual shots were. These were less than half a minute apart.
IOW: how long can pass between one shot and the following one, before that is no longer considered to be part of the same continuing sequence.

Auto-stack by capture time messed up my stacks

After manually creating many dozens, perhaps a hundred stacks, I tried the Auto-stack by Capture Time feature. Now my stacks are totally messed up; I either have way too many or none. Is there any way to get back to where I was except by reverting to an earlier saved version of the catalog?

However I find the capture time of photos in any one stack exceed 1 minute!! For instance, these are the capture times of photos in a single stack:
8:19:12PM, 8:19:25PM, 8:19:43PM, 8:20:24PM, 8:21:19PM, 8:21:45PM

Capturing Time Code from Beta SP

Hello,
I am beginning a large project which was filmed in Beta SP. Though I've worked with Beta SP in the past, I've never had to capture time code, so it's never been an issue. I've simply routed the Beta deck's (Sony BetacamSP UVW-1800)video and audio signals through my DV deck (JVC BR-DV600U), which then firewires the video into my edit system. Pretty simple, pretty efficient, but as you know, no time code.
With this new project, I need to record time code, and am unsure as to what the best methods are. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
G5: 1.6 Ghz/256/80/Superdrive Mac OS X (10.4) FCP HD

thanks for the tips, guys.
I'm hoping you may clarify this for me, however (from Shane's link):
"You out from the beta deck via s-video for the video signal, and buy XLR->RCA cabling and go XLR out from the deck to RCA in on the deck or converter, then firewire from the converter to the computer."
so far so good...
"And if you plug the Keyspan Adaptor to your computer (it is a USB device) then the Mac serial RS422 to that, then to the deck."
plug the Max serial RS422 to my DV deck, or to my Beta deck?
"You also need to be sure that you have a black burst signal being sent to the beta deck into the REF IN port."
I'm not sure what this means.
Again, thanks for the help. I've become so used to working with digital formats that I feel a little lost when older formats come into the picture.

Stuck in audio capture only

Sorry, this is urgent, no time to search. Somehow going into capture mode, "audio capture only" got selected. I don't know how to deselect and cannot find anything in Help. How do I get back to capturing Video and audio?

Dumping the final cut express plist preferences did not work. What did work was dumping all user prefernces related to FCE.

Extra bytes problem with audio capture,j2me

hi there
I m working on a J2ME application that captures live audio through microphone into a bytearrayoutputstream .
i have supplied the capture time,sampling rate, bits per sample, no of channels info to the program.
but when i check out the size of the byte array , i see that its greater than what it should be !!!
if the size had been lesser than expected, i could guess that sum bytes are getting lost , but what attributes to the larger size.
and everytime i run the program i c that the size is larger than expected though the number by which it exceeds is different everytime.
can ne one help??

Hi,
Thank you very much for your help. I changed the code as you suggested. It minimizes the gap, but there is still part of missing voices.
When you tried it, did you get really perfect (no gap) recording, as if it was recorded to one single stream?
below is my recording code:
for(int i=0;i<types.length;i++) {
rc.setRecordStream(baos);
rc.startRecord();
Thread.sleep(2000);
rc.stopRecord();
rc.commit();
init.append("baos size after rec:" + baos[i].size()+"\n");
}//end of for
p.stop();
p.close();
and here is the code for playing back the voice:
for(int i=0;i<3;i++) {
bais[i] = new ByteArrayInputStream(baos.toByteArray());
try {
p = Manager.createPlayer(bais[i],types[i]);
p.prefetch();
p.start();
Thread.sleep(p.getDuration());
p.stop();
p.close();
catch(Exception e) {
init.append("exception in playing back voice: "+e.toString()+"\n");
e.printStackTrace();
for playing back, we need to stop and close the player first, then create a new player to play the next input stream, dont we?
Thanks

MS 8606 Audio Capture can't start

Have MSI TV@nywhere Master. The audio capture driver didn't install automatically from the cd. I tried forcing the driver to install and now it says:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
Any suggestions or ideas to help??

AVI_IO is a VFW program the TV@nywhere Master is a WMD device. The frame size you are getting from AVI_IO is not an unusual occurance with some TV cards. I can not get VirtualDub to capture over 352x288 PAL although some others brands of TV card can. I have not been able to get AVI_IO to work at all on my WinXP system so I guess that you are not using WinXP.
The fact that you are able to capture using AVI_IO would suggest that the card is OK and that your system is possibly at fault. I did have problems on my first install and the audio drivers did not install but once manually installed they have been no problems from them.
Have you tried clearing out all the TV card drivers and software (I mean manually removing all traces) and re-installing?
Perhaps try moving the card to another slot or just reseating it, and/or remove the drivers via device manager and reboot the PC and let the OS find them again.
Perhaps it may be time to do a clean install of the OS?
I found it nessecary to do it at least every 12 months and sometime much sooner when I was using any other OS before WinXP. It will certainly cancel out any possiblity that it is your system at fault.

Multitrack Audio Capture question ...Not DV related :)

I am wanting to use FCP 5 to capture multitrack audio from a firewire interface such as the MOTU 828mkII while capturing video from my Kona LS at the same time.
the FCP 5 page says, "Multichannel audio lets you capture and output up to 24 channels of high-resolution 24-bit, 96kHz audio in a single pass."
I'm not sure if that means that you can capture up to 24 channels while you are capturing video or if the multitrack audio capture requires timecode syncing and capturing audio and video separately. The reason I'm trying to do this is that I want to capture the video and multi track audio live rather than recording to a deck with timecode and syncing it up later. I know this isn't the typical way to do it and that FCP capture is a less reliable way to record than a VTR. I'm aware of my Kona card's multiple audio channels, but I am specifically interested in a multi track audio interface (such as MOTU 828mkII).
I've searched the forums and internet for weeks and I can't find anyone who has suggested that this work. Will a 828mkII just show up as another audio capture device in FCP that will record more than 2 channels during video/audio capture?
Thanks!

Hi gevus, I know this is somewhat late and if you haven't already found another solution then I would suggest that you purchase a pci sound card e.g. Soundblaster Live can be had for as little as $35.00 from Newegg.com (a very reliable online store with free shipping most of the time). I capture video with my 9600 aiw pro and use a sb live...my mb also came with an onboard sound processor (nforce2) however, I still prefere the flexability of the Live card...plus dispite reviews on this nforce2 onboard sound as being as good as Live I disagree I listen to (and watch) alot of movies on my computer and have a pair of BOSE headphones. I cound definetely notice a difference in sound quality. I dont know your video needs but the Audigy card by Creative Labs is even better if you need or want real good quality reproduction however, remember that the audio sorce is the real key to good sound.

Repeated audio capture in midlets... a new audio everytime from user...

Hi guys can you help me in getting repeated audio capture in midlets... a new audio everytime from user...
just the part where

Any ideas will be helpful

System Settings-Audio Capture

In FCE, trying to capture VHS via DV converter box. The sound is not coming over. In system settings/scratch disk (internal hard drive) the audio capture is grayed out. Analog RCA composite video & stereo audio connectors in place. How do I get my sound?

You can't get audio during capture as firewire has control.
Use the audio from the play device if you need to hear what's happening. You will notice latency on the FCE capture window, that's normal as well.
