2.0 and 5.1 audio

I have audio that is 2.0 and 5.1.
Both for the MENUS and the single asset(movie).
I know how to set up the main asset to select either audio via a set-up page.
What I don't know is how to give the viewer the choice to select a 2.0 or 5.1 MENU experience.
Would I have a page come up first that allows them to proceed to menus in either 2.0 or 5.1? How do I do this without duplicating the menu set?
Scripting scares me as I am a true artist but I will try what it takes.
Thanks

Thanks,
This is what I thought would be the case but was holding out hope.
The downmix is fine but lacks the "pressence" we have set up in our Dolby studio.
I don't want to take away any space from my main asset as my menus are elaborate motion sets, so duplicating them will not work for most projects.
Just trying to add value to the experience, oh well.
Again, thanks

How can I make Apple Earphones be the Input and Output for Audio

I have some older headphones and they aren't compatible with a Mid 2010 (Intel Core i3) 21.5 Inch iMac
Is there some way to make Apple Earphones be the Input and Output for Audio in the iMac
This is a problem for me personally as when I am talking to someone on Skype the iMac picks up the In-built Microphone audio, and yes the headphones I'm using do work straight from the iMac as audio output
Any help is appreciated

you can connect the headset to something like this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-MaelineA-3-5mm-Female-to-2-Male-Gold-Plated-Headphon e-Mic-Audio-Y-Splitter-/381100440348
and then connect the mic to the input and the headset to the headset port

How can I delete the video and keep the Audio in a few frames using Imovie 11

How can I delete the video and keep the Audio in a few frames using Imovie 11?

I've met the problem too before. but i solved it with Audio Converter Mac instead of iMovie. If you have similar situation that just want to keep audio but not video, and if your file format is not workable in iMovie, you can use the Audio Converter for help too. it can easily help to extract audio soundtrack from any video format. Or if you need to convert one audio format to another, it is a good choice too, because it supports many common audio output formats.

How do I find and turn Core Audio On.

When I try to open Logic it stops at “Initializing Core Audio”.
I have read the topics page and carried out all the suggestions including starting with the control key down to get into logic. When I do this logic opens and a box comes up with Launch Core Audio Driver, Yes or No. If yes, it freezes, if no I can load it up, but there is no core audio at all when I do.
In the inspector, the CORE AUDIO is greyed out. I have gone to Preferences and ticked the Core Audio box and ticked “Apply” and then it freezes again. Logic cannot see or find the Logic Core Library.
How do I turn Core Audio on? I have No Sound at all. There is no instrument list ( EXS 24, ES1, ES2, Sculpture, Ultrabeat etc) coming up in the I/O box, it only says No Plugin. When I load a previous song there is a line through the I/O instrument and no sound. In the arrange window the audio levels show that there is activity but there is no sound and the instruments are crossed out.
It seems like there is a communication problem between the program and the Core Audio sound banks. Could this have something to do with the drivers? If so, Where can I get the drivers from and how do I put them in.
Does anyone know how to get inside Logic maybe to a lower level so that I can tick some box to get the sounds back again.
If I re-install the program will it fix the problem?
Sorry to be so long-winded but I am in a mess with this, so any kind of advise would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks.
Roy.

I haven't had this problem, but on other computers, I have seen some sound functions only work if you don't run certain other things on start-up. Try opening System Resources:Accounts:<your account>:Login Items, and clearing out the list.
Hope you solve it!

In logic Pro, when I open up an audio track and load an audio file, there is no sound. I will finally get a sound out of one of the audio tracks after opening at least 5 of them alternately. Is anyone familiar with this kind of bug? It's really frustratin

In logic Pro, when I open up an audio track or software track and load an audio file/loop or software file loop, there is no sound. I will finally get a sound out of one of the audio or software tracks after opening at least 5 of them alternately. Is anyone familiar with this kind of bug? It's really frustrating as this takes much time to complete work.

I'm not sure I follow your words Fuzzynormal. You've helped by offering the insight that my issue in Logic Pro 9 is not a bug but a feature. But fell short of enlightenment by being a judge of character and of how one should interact in this forum. You insinuate that I haven't tried to solve the issue on my own when in fact I have. These forums are always my last resort. You further suggest that I am complaining. This is not a complaint. It is a genuine issue that I cannot figure out. Then you think that Brazeca is holding my hand and being a nice guy. Brazeca is helping people like me who might not be as adept at using Logic Pro as probably you are.This community forum was established to raise questions, answers and dicussion to help Apple's customers better undertand their operating systems and related issues. You are doing a disservice by not contributing positively and by trying to make this forum what you want it to be. You may have all the time in the world to try figuring out stuff but we are not all like you. We all have different schedules and different levels of understanding. And that is what this forum is for - to help people move forward. If you can't contribute positively then keep silent. And by the way, you say to "read the words that are printed down to explain to you how that works" what words are you talking about? Why don't you be of some help instead of trying to own this forum.

I updated to OS X Mavericks and now trying to run Logic Pro X on a MacBook Pro mid-2009, using an M-Audio Axiom 49 and an M-Audio Fast Track Pro... Logic keeps telling me that Mac OS X MIDI Services are not available... How do I solve this problem?

I just checked to see if the update to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 solved any of the issues outlined in my previous post, and to my dismay, nothing has changed -- all of the previous problems persist.
My iMac (8) -- it's renamed itself eight times since the recent troubleshoot with the Apple tech rep -- shows up as a shared device in Finder on my MacBook Pro, but when I click on it, I cannot establish a connection using "Connect As". So I've attempted to connect using the menu "Go/Connect to Server...", using both (alternately) the iMac's name and IP address, to no avail. I get a message which reads: "There was a problem connecting to the server 'Peter's iMac (8)'. This server may not exist or it is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection, and then try again."
Here's what I know:
The server -- Peter's iMac (8) does exist;
The server -- Peter's iMac (8) is available at this time;
The server name -- Peter's iMac (8) -- is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
The server IP address is correct, as specified in the system sharing preferences;
The network connection is active when I attempt to connect.
I'm convinced the problems stem directly from the OS X Yosemite update. None of this was ever remotely an issue in the previous OS X's -- any of them. This is maddening! What can be done? Apple?? Anyone???

Capture dvi and optical digital audio-in through one custom capture preset

How can I create a FCP capture preset that will capture from a digital video to firewire box (grass valley (formerly canopus) advc-hd50) AND the optical audio in port on my desktop mac dual g5?
I have HD dvi video (which has no audio content) and digital audio (or analog for that matter) that i wish to capture in sync then edit in FCP.

if you go to audio/video settings you can duplicate a setup that is close to what you want and edit that setup. under capture presets> audio select whichever input on the mac you wish to use.
consult your documentation with the capture device for the video side. when you have something that works save that as an easy setup (on the summary tab "create easy setup")
I've never used either the optical nor analog in so I can't vouch for it's behavior however it is available as an option
Hopefully your device will somehow pass timecode so edits are repeatable

IMac ichat to macbook pro ichat and vice versa: audio/video call/chat not working

Hi and thanks for your time!
no green video/phone icon appearing beside buddy name.
audio status/video status under view of the menu bar are ticked. ( i noticed this happened after i added "appleut01" AIM and did a test call. grayed out prior to said test call)
invite to video/audio chat under buddies list are grayed out even if buddy highlighted first.
also tried changing port to 443 but when I do it automatically goes back to 5190...
also, i've tried logging off/on, deleting my account and making a new one...
basically followed suggestions from various threads herein but still cant video/audi chat/call:-)
hope somebody can help^^

Hi,
Lets check a few more things.
Some things are blocked from you changing them if the Mac User Account you are using has Parental Controls turned On.
To Show Buddies with Video and Audio icons several places should be checked.
1) with iChat Open go to the View Menu. In here both Show Video Status and Show Audio Status should be ticked (Selecting it will toggle the tick On or Off)
2) In the Video Menu the Camera Enabled item and the Microphone Enabled one should also have ticks.
3) (we Looked already) The Connection Doctor should say you can Video or Audio Chat as well as whether you can 4 way Video chat and 10 Way Audio Chat.
4) In the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section the Bandwidth Limit should not be set too low.
At least the 500kbps setting is needed to do 4 Way Video Chats.
It can also be useful to use this setting if your Internet Connection is much faster but varies a lot.
5) Parental Controls will stop you Adding Buddies, adding new Screen Names/Accounts in the iChat Preferences, altering several things about existing Accounts/Screen Names that have been set up.
If a Buddy has a Video or Audio iCon and it is a pale green them they are Busy.
If 1) are set then you should have an Video icon next to your Own Buddy pic in the header part of the Buddy List window. (Whether it shows Audio or Video will depend on 2)
What shows in 3) will depend on the other settings and what Internet Speed and hardware you actually have.
6) IF the settings are On for the camera then we need to know if the System can "See" the camera.
Go to the Apple icon Menu top Left. Click About this Mac.
Click More info to Open the System Profiler
Use the Reveal Triangles to see the Hardware list then USB.
Does this list the Camera connected to one of the Buses ? (you may need to click the items in the panes on the right to see the info you need)
It should list the details such as serial number, Maker, Firmware (possibly) and speed.

I was making a movie on iMovie, and was trying to use the green screen to make a split screen. I pressed on the green screen button, but the second clip didn't play next to the first, and only the audio played.

I was making a movie on iMovie, and was trying to use the green screen to make a split screen. I pressed on the green screen button, but the second clip didn't play next to the first, and only the audio played. I tried again with some different clips and some worked and some didn't. This hasn't happened before. What should I do? (I am using iMovie '09)

No guarantess but try smc and pram resets,

When you are playing a song back and it says audio overload and then stops playing, what do I have to do to have it play all the way through?

System Overload.
The audio engine was not able to process all required data in time.
(-10011)

Much food for thought there - and, welcome back, Erik.
I've had an interesting occurence of the System Overload message on a recent project; I had a software instrument track with a lot of FX plug-ins and always got the message as soon as the playhead hit the first region on the track, which is no mystery. I bounced out the track and put the audio file on a new audio track, removed the plug-ins from the old track and then deleted it. I also changed the format of the song and inserted a new part at the beginning. The thing is, I still get the overload message at exactly the same point as it used to occur before, which seems odd.
It only occurs the first time I play it through, so its not a problem as such (one of those things I can live with) but it would be interesting if anyone could shed any light...

10.9.2 lost audio and no core audio process present

This is a 2 month old MBP with the 512GB SSD and 16GB of RAM.
I've tried rebooting and reseting the PRAM as well as invoking the command in terminal to kill and start core audio process. Nothing. If I look in the Activity monitor there is no core audio process running. Right now I have no audio.
The problem presented itself after attemtping to plug in a pair of earphones. I've inspected the phone jack and it is clear of dust / debris.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, I found the core audio process - I didn't have "All Processes" selected in the View. I tried killing it but still no luck. I also tried resetting my SMC.

Hooked up hdmi to hdtv and get only audio and a "profiler" screen view; cannot play dvd on HDTV

Hooked up mini display port / HDMI to my TV and only get audio of DVD. Do see original apple desktop image and image of selected "window" display. cannot manipulate "window" menu. How do I get video and audion from DVD?

Funny things happen you are using an external display in mirroring mode. I generally avoid it. My preference is to set my MBP up to my monitor or HDTV with a wireless mouse and keyboard and use the laptop in lid shut mode.
If you've never done this, hook up a wireless mouse and keyboard and hook it up to your TV. Shut the lid of the MBP and after say 10 seconds hit the keyboard or wiggle the mouse. The laptop will now only be driving the external display so if you change your settings to that of the TV all should be good!

Using avid m-audio fast track and avid m-audio fast track solo together

I Wanted to use avid m-audio fast track and avid m-audio fast track solo together so that I can get 4 inputs
i I tried to select it, but could enable any one only. How can I use them together??

You can use only one device at a time I Logic. However, in the Audio MIDI Setup utility (Applications>Utilities) you can create an aggregate device, which effectively combines multiple devices into one "virtual" device, which you can then choose in Logics' coreaudio device setup.

Drag and drop FLAC audio into iPod to convert and add?

I manually sort my music as albums in folder directories. I have never liked how iTunes wanted to sort my music back in 2005 and I don't like it any more today.
I recently got a 6th gen iPod Nano via the 1st gen iPod Nano replacement program and I am disappointed in how I cannot use Winamp to manage my playlists anymore. Winamp would automatically transcode incompatible FLAC audio into MP3 before transferring onto my 1st gen Nano.
I have my iPod options under iTunes set to automatically convert higher bitrate audio to 192kbps AAC, but dragging and dropping FLAC audio into my iPod gives an error message that prevents me from adding anything.
I thought maybe I had to import my audio into iTunes' library first, but scanning for media adds every audio file including system and program audio files to my library, which really clutters things up. It treats each artist as an album, so compilation albums of 30 audio tracks from 30 artists appear as 30 individual albums in my iTunes library. Most cumbersome.
I am also appauled in how it did not detect or support playback of FLAC audio. I am not willing to convert my entire library into a proprietary lossless audio format just because iTunes wants me to when other programs and I were getting along so well without iTunes and my 1st gen Nano.
Anyway, what I am hoping to achieve is to find a streamlined way to convert FLAC audio files into MP3 or AAC while I am transferring them to my iPod without having to involve another program to manually convert before adding. This is a huge convenience factor for which I am regretting having my 1st gen Nano replaced. I will admit that I am perhaps being overly stubborn here. Maybe I'll just sell this 6th gen Nano while it's still pristine and get a Sansa Clip or something. Apple products have become too stifling and I won't be surprised if there was no way to achieve what I am asking to do here, so maybe this ends up a being more of a rant than a search for answers.

foobar2000 with the ipod plugin will allow you to drag/drop FLAC files and when it syncs the ipod, it converts the FLAC files on the fly. MUCH better than dealing with the crappy iTunes interface and having to pre-convert the files. I absolutely loathe iTunes and it just gets worse and worse!
