Record Audio keyframes in FCPX

One usefull tool in Final Cut Pro verisons before FCPX is the possibility to record audio keyframes (on the fly) when audio mixing.
I am learning FCPX and I didn't figured out how to do this in FCPX.
any idea?
thx

RECORD AUDIO ISSUE

This morning, I woke up to my VO from last night (auio tracks in timeline) with a red bar thru all three.
Plus, Record Audio is not allowing a destination thus not allowing to record. I didnt mess with any settings before I shut down last night.
Help - Thank you
imac 27' running Maverick with FCPX 10.1.1

I can't offer any definite solution other than to try trashing the preferences.
Corrupt preferences can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP X stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be the first thing you do using this free app.

Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
1. Ensure that FCP X is selected.
2. Click Trash
The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.

Audio keyframe problems in FCE

Hi,
I'm working with FCE 4.0.1
I'm just about ready to export a project from FCE 4 containing various forms of audio: music from external sources (.aif, .caf, .mp3) as well as audio recorded on camera.
In the edit the audio has been keyframed so that the volume adjusts during the sequence. When playing the edit from the timeline however, the keyframes seem to be ignored at random - sometimes the audio is played as meant, othertimes it is abruptly stopped - there seems to be no logic to it. This happens to all sorts of audio, to the .aif as well as .caf or the audio recorded to camera.
I made a test DVD and the audio keyframes were ignored on this too. Where am I going wrong? Does FCE have a limit on the amount of audio tracks it can read well? (In some parts I use up to 12 tracks)
Does anyone have any idea what the problem is and how I can fix the problem?
Thanks!

The amount of audio tracks varies throughout the project, however to a maximum of 16.
In the user preferences I see: Real Time audio mixing 4 tracks, and audio playback quality low (faster). Would it make things better if I changed this to 16 tracks, and a high quality playback?
The sample rate of the aif files is 48khz, as is the audio rate for the sequence.
I have tried the mixdown function on a small part - and it seems to help! But I can't understand what exactly it is doing - can you explain this to me or advise me on where to find more info?
Thanks Tom!

Record audio

Hi,
I want to record audio from the built-in microphone on Android. Is it possible ?
Best regards

Audition will not record better than FCPX. Any audio software will only record what the mic feeds it. The issue is at the microphone, not in your software. What microphone are you using? If it isn't up to par, not much you can do about that.
1st, us a pop filter.
2nd, hand a quilt or blanket around you to isolate the sound better. Or get a Reflexion Filter.
3rd, learn proximity effect. The closer you are to the mic, the more bass, the further, the more trebble.
But if you are simply getting too much room noise (background noise), that is in your physical set up, and no software will magically fix that for you. You need to control your environment better.

Moving multiple audio keyframes

ok.. This is strange... This should be a no brainer.
I have a range of audio keyframes, due to t a change in the edit, I now need to move a range of keyframes earlier in time.
now it looks like I can select the range... however, I can't seem to do anything with it.
I can't.. ahem.. 'EDIT' them....
any ideas ?
The attached images show the position after I manually move them one by frakkin one...

AFAIK, there is no way to do what you want (which is perfectly reasonable, BTW). At least it's not in the FCPX documentation or something I've been able to discover by using every combination of modifier keys I could think of. One at a time seems to be the current limitation.
If anyone knows something different, hopefully they'll chime in.

Unable to record audio

I am trying to record audio into Logic through a electro-acoustic guitar and AKG microphone, which are both plugged into my Saffire 6 interface. Everytime I set up a new audio track and select the 'R' record button, a loud static noise plays through my monitors. You can see that the interface is picking up a signal from the guitar but all you can hear is the static.
When I increase the gain on the instrument channel on my interface, the noise stays at the same level. But when I increase the volume of the monitors or the volume of the mixer channel in Logic the noise gets louder. This makes me think that all the cables are fine but it is something to do with a setting in Logic.
The mixer channel in logic always looks like this when audio recording is enabled:
I've read on some other forums that it might be to do with the buffer size - I've tried changing this but the problem seems to persist. I also read that it might have something to do with setting the midi clocks in the synchronization tab but there wasn't enough information explaining how to do this.
My midi setup currently looks like this:
I've had this problem for ages now and can't find a way around it....

Couple of more questions:
Does the Focusrite have a feature called zero latency monitoring, also called direct monitoring? If so make sure it is turned off and not used. The Saffire has a "Mixer" knob, do you have that in the correct position. Do you have the latest drivers? 2.6 it looks like.
http://www.focusrite.com/products/audio_interfaces/saffire_6_usb/downloads/
Does the microphone channel work ok? Have you tried reversing them.
What happens to that channel if the guitar is not plugged in, is there any noise?
Are you using a standard 2-conductor guitar cable, or is it by chance a three conductor stereo cable? It should be just a standard guitar cable.
It there anything else being used on the USB bus, are you plugged into a USB hub or directly into the Mac?
Speaking of which, wht Mac and OS?

Recording audio from a DVD

Does anyone know of a good freeware or shareware program for recording audio from a DVD into any format?

A nice tool for ripping and demuxing the audio part off a DVD is OSex.

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.

Recording Audio and Midi at the same time in Logic 7 Express Can it be done

I am wondering if I can record audio and midi at the same time in Logic 7 Express. I am running my guitar thrugh a Roland GR 33, and a line out and using the GR 33 to trigger sounds in the Logic's synth section but cant seem to record all three tracks at once. If any one knows how let me know. Oh and I am running the GR Synth and Guitar into the Prosonus Fire Fox and have the GR 33 out midi to the Fire Box as well. So I guss the question is how do I sent up two audo tracks and one midi track to record in real time. Thanks Victor

Try arming the audio tracks, select one of the tracks, then while holding down the shift key, select the midi track you want to record, arming the "r" on the midi track. Press "record".....

Speeding up the use of Pen Tool in connection with Audio Keyframes

I remember that one of the editing systems that I used to work on (either Premiere, Avid, or DPS) had this nifty little button that automatically generated three audio keyframes with the middle keyframe at -inf dB. It was great for getting rid of mic hits and wireless glitches that weren't during dialouge. Does FCP 4.5 have a similar feature/workaround or am I stuck taking the time to set all three Keyframes and then lowering the middle keyframe (or simply cutting out the segment)? I'm currently cutting with some fitness material and these girls keep hitting the mic with their hair.

Yeah, I've got such a loud music bed going that room tone would be completely inaudible and hence, in my opinion, unnecessary.
I think I may have come across it in Premiere... was it called "notch" or something?
Off Topic, but has Edius gotten any better over the years? I worked with version 1 and 1.5 and though it's realtime capablilities were nice, it felt like a beta edition of the software. It aslo seemed to be lacking in some very basic capabilities that were necessary for any sort of fine control.

Can I record audio on an iPad direct from a mac via line out

I use the noteability app alot, recording audio at a live lecture works great. However, due to a bug you can not add an audio file directly into your notes (at the moment), you must record them.
I have a bunch of podcasts that I would like to add to my notes. I know I could play them from my mac and record audio through the ipads mic but what I hoped to do was connect a male to male cable between the line out of my mac into my ipad, playing the audio without interferance. This didn't work
Does anyone know if there is a similar way to do this or something I could have done wrong.
Thanks

yeah - you can do it, but you need an adapter. The earphone jack on a pad is a special jack with stereo headphone uot put and a seperate mic in channel. The adapters i have seen are usually built to accomodate a standard 1/4 in - into the pad, like the one in the attached link. In theory, you could use the lineout on the mac, to a 1/4 in male - then into this adapter to get it back into the pad. Somebody probably makes the cable you need with the 1/4 shift, but I couldn't find one.
Options - in you notes, insted of copying the file, put a link to the podcast

Can No Longer Record Audio With iMic

I've been using the Camera Connection Kit with the iMic to record audio from my studio via 'Line In' for months with no issue. A few weeks ago, my iPad stopped recording using iMic. It only records with the internal mic now, so the sound is garbage. The software company says it isn't their software that's the problem. Did Apple have an update (prior to latest release) that rendered iMic useless?
Without the ability to record audio in this fashion, the iPad is a useless paperweight for me.
Any help is appreciated.

Users have reported that some accessories that worked with the CCK before the update to iOS 4.2.1 now no longer work. This article, updated after the iOS update give a clue that the update changed what worked.

Record audio is not working

Does anyone know why when I open up the "Record Audio" button why it would not be recording? The audio box appears but there is no sound. It was working but now..... it has stopped and could use some advice. Thanks.

The fact that it also fails in iMovie suggests that this is probably not a problem with FCP X.
That leaves either a hardware failure or a software conflict.
You can check whether the microphone itself is functional by testing in System Preferences->Sound directly.
Open the input panel and speak into the microphone. As you speak, you should get some visual feedback like in the picture below. Do you get some bars or does it stay the same all the time?

Recording audio from device on server

I have some really nice audio recording gear hooked up to my computer, and I got a neat idea. I want to turn my PC into a web server and serve a flash application from it that allows a user to record audio from MY hardware (basically record the output of a mic hooked up to the "server") and then download the resulting audio file to his or her computer. Is this possible to do using a single flash application? I'm sure I could send commands to a C application on the "server" that would do the recording, but I'm wondering if there is a more simple solution. Also, monitoring the audio while it is being recorded would be nice.
Thanks

The issue I see with iTalk and similar iPod apps is that the iPod has no line-level input, so you'd have to use one of the earbud/microphone combinations or an external microphone like this one which will be limited as to quality. There are some other options here. But if you want pro quality, and particularly want to tap straight off of a mixing console, a device like the Alesis is going to be necessary, though there may be something less expensive that I can't find.
If a microphone works for you, then iTalk might be fine. There's a freeware version of iTalk, iTalk Lite, you can try, to see if it will do the job. It doesn't have the advanced playback controls and has a limit of 2MB per recording, but it should allow you to test it out. Voxie is another possibility.

Urgent: Flash Player 10, record audio - save locally on button click?

Hi there,
I am wondering if Flash Player 10 will allow a Flex app or a Flash app the ability for the user, inside of a web-page, to record some audio with their microphone then click a button to activate the OS's Save File dialog? The user would then just save the audio on their local filesystem.
I was thinking this had to be done with a Java app, but I am seeing that v10 allows saving if the user initiates the action (button click)... i cannot a definitive answer or example that shows recording audio without it going to FMS or Red5. The requirements of this app prohibit a media server so I am not sure if this can be done with Flash Player 10?
Is this possible? If so are there any examples of this flow?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, everyone,
If we can record audio from Flash Player 10 inside of a webpage and save audio files onto our local places by the use of mic applications, it will be very convenient. In fact, we can turn to use other available programs to record audio from flash and save locally by clicking buttons. It is possible to use recorders to record audio on flash or any other media players.
I don't know whether my guess is what you are thinking or not, perhaps you need to search for more information.
Regards.
