2 Tracks, 2 different audio outputs:

I have two tracks, exactly the same. However, one track (track 1) has a metronome click, the other does not (track 2). My laptop is connected to a Mackie Pro FX12 mixer. I am connecting my laptop to the mixer via the laptop audio output jack connecting to a tape input on the mixer. I would like track 2 (no metronome) to run through audio speakers and track 1 (metronome) to run through headphones. Both the speaker and headphone outputs are on the mixer. What do I need to do with Logic Express to make certain that the tracks are run through the correct output?

I'm having some problems with this as well. I want to have one track playing on one output (headphones) and then another track playing on another output (speakers). I have panned each track, so one is on full left and the other on full right. But I don't understand what to do now? How do I route each track to a different output? I don't know how to do this.
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Different Audio Outputs Logic Studio 8

Hello. I was wondering if apple was able to do this, because that would save a lot of plugging and unplugging of cables and such. Is it possible to select different audio outputs for different programs that you are using on the imac? I run logic studio 8 with a m-audio firewire 410 external soundcard with a couple of monitor speakers. I also have a set of z-5500 connected to my imac via the digital output cable. Is there a way where when i use logic studio 8, the firewire soundcard is used. and for all other purposes, such as watching a movie or listening to music, the digital output is used? Is there a program that can control this? if this is possible. it would help me out A LOT! THANKS

Hello ecstasurf
That's a great question?
Go to: "Applications / Utilities" and open "Audio MIDI Setup" from there you maybe able to switch between the FireWire and the Digital/Analog outputs. I can't give you much more help with that, I don't have an audio FireWire setup so you'll have to play around with the Audio Output Source there.
Note: If you like, you can drag a copy of the Audio MIDI Setup to your dock for quick and easy access.

Audio tracks playing different audio tracks - routing issue?

I'm having trouble with some routing issues I believe. Here's the deal:
Some audio tracks are playing different audio tracks, when that region is not even in it. For instance:
Track #2 is Soloed. Output is Output 1-2. I hear the audio file that is in Track #1, which is NOT Soloed and I shouldn't even hear. I don't hear anything from Track #2. The only way I can hear Track #2 is by playing it from the audio bin, which obviously isn't going to work out right.
If I drag the audio region of Track #2 to a brand new audio track, I still don't hear anything. Is it possible this audio file(s) got corrupted somehow?
Please help!

Check the parameters, in the left side of the arrange page window.
To me, it sounds as if you have a bunch of arrange tracks, which are all playing back through audio track #1.

How to choose between different audio output in different programs

I want to choose between the audio outputs in different programs.
For example; I want to hear spotify/iTunes with my plugged-in speakers and skype with the build-in/intern speakers.
It is possiple to control this on Windows but can I do it on Mac?
Does anyone know an app for this problem?
Thanks for help!

I'd assume you'd want to set the sequence to "slur" notes and then just calculate the notes between a top & bottom value based on a float and generate NOTE_ON messages appropriately.
The pitch bend is designed to emulate / support the bend wheel found on sound keyboards...and it just modifies the pitch associated with a given note. A pitch bend of +2 would turn an A into B, etc...
So, you'd want to do...
SET_SLUR (however you do that, I'm not a MIDI expert)
pitch = bottom_pitch + ((top_pitch-bottom_pitch) * sliderValue);
NOTE_ON(pitch)

2 Different audio outputs

Is there a way to configure my mac to play iTunes out of the headphone jack and play all other programs (like safari) through my bluetooth headset? I'm a beginning DJ and was wondering if this could be done. What steps will I need to take to do what I want? New sound card?

I'm having some problems with this as well. I want to have one track playing on one output (headphones) and then another track playing on another output (speakers). I have panned each track, so one is on full left and the other on full right. But I don't understand what to do now? How do I route each track to a different output? I don't know how to do this.

Is there no way to direct an AIR app's audio to different audio output devices?

I'm needing to make a couple of our AIR apps select certain audio devices to send their audio output to, and last year, somebody mentioned possibly using native extensions to do this. I had to start working on other things for a while, but I've come back to this (for the moment), and I've basically learned how to create native extensions.
But so far, they don't seem to provide me any special access to anything going on under the hood of an AIR app. When you stream live audio in through RTMP or RTMFP, the details of the audio are hidden from you. There doesn't appear to be any place where you can actually access the audio bytes that are being sent over the wire. You can specify a certain SoundTransform object for the NetStream to use, but that class is final and a vanilla Flash construct, so even if it may have a way to access the audio bytes, they're not acessible at all.
It really looks like, when a NetStream object starts streaming in live audio, there is no way under the sun to access the audio bytes and direct them to a certain audio output device, with or without extensions. Is this so? It would be unfortunate if Adobe didn't allow this, even through native extensions. Thanks.

Couple quick thoughts..
Limits are important. There's a large amount of work done to keep a clear separation between a users decision and a developers decision. For instance, you can't change a users default audio output because that clearly violates a users decision. That said, here's a whole mess of people debating the issue and actually eventually an undocumented COM API you can find that will actually let you do it in Vista/Win7 (but not 8), however don't expect that to be a 'good thing to do':
http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/9ebd7ad6-a460-4a28-9de9-2af63fd4a13e/programatica lly-setting-the-default-playback-device-and-recording-device?forum=windowspro-audiodevelop ment
You might want to get a beverage before reading that.
Aside that, RTMP is secured, which is why you can't gain access to the bytes. The entire purpose of it is to assure media developers that their media can't easily be copied/stolen. Adobe doesn't document their method of securing streams but they do publish the RTMP specification. It's entirely possible for you to create your own RTMP server and encryption method while delivering a RTMP stream to custom client that you code yourself which can read the stream. Here's the spec:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/rtmp.html
So I'd say it would be unfortunate if Adobe did give you access to the bytes. You might as well just hand users a mp3 of whatever song is playing because they would steal media left and right.
That isn't to say you can't use a multitude of ways of getting the data going across the default output device. Plenty of apps (fraps/etc) capture video and mixed audio streams. But Adobe isn't going to give you the keys to the kingdom and let you decrypt their protected media protocol.

How do I assign audio tracks to different stereo outputs?

There doesn't seem to be a menu option on my Audio Track Mixer...

When working with a stereo sequence there is only one stereo output. If you want more tham one you will need a multi channel master. When creating that sequence you can chose how many output channels you need. They will be mono outputs but in the track mixer you will be able to pan between selected odd and even channels.

Audio outputs on FCE?

If I have, say 5 audio tracks in Final Cut Express, will it be possible to route these tracks to different audio outputs (I have an audio interface with several analog audio output channels)? So far I have only been able route all audio tracks to one stereo output.
If not possible with this app. any hints on how to play out video + five different audio tracks / outputs simultaneously??

Not simultaneously. In real time you can only output 1 stereo audio pair. Your 5 tracks will be mixed into a single stereo pair based on the Left/Right channel assignments you make on each audio track.
On the other hand, you CAN export each audio track independently, with appropriate markers for use in SoundTrack, DVD Studio Pro, etc. This is a technique to export audio tracks to build a 5.1 soundtrack in an application like DVD Studio Pro.

I have lost all audio output

I don't know what has happened, but I can't get any audio out from Soundtrack Pro anymore.
Even if I open previous projects, and try different audio outputs such as Built-in Out, Built in Line Out or my MOTU 828MK2, there's no audio, even though the meters show audio signal.
It worked a month ago, but even the projects I did one month ago are now silent.
In Final Cut Pro I have no problems getting the audio (thru my 828MK2) but when I switch to Soundtrack there's no sound.
I would have assumed they all use the same Audio/Midi setup?

go to settings, general, sounds, and check the volume. if the sound there is full blast, try going to settings, music, volume limit, and make sure that's turned off. now if that fails to work, try reseting the ipod by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen. if that doesn't work restore your ipod on itunes.

Using multiple audio output devices.

Hey, does anybody know a program for assigning different audio outputs to different applications. For example, having Safari and the OS outputing to the computer speakers, while iTunes and Muse output to bluetooth speakers/headphones (non airport). Can it be done?

Sound Bunny is a nice replacement for Detour, which got lost in the move from PPC years ago. Hoever, there is a small bug with sites with audio (auto-play audio, that is) in Safari 7 (at least). They return the error below and won't load. This happen on other sites, but if it happens on the Google site as well, then something is seriously wrong. The company tech support insists: "SoundBunny will not stop any website from loading. SoundBunny is a audio controlling software and does not control which websites to load." ~ Abu; Prosoft Engineering Customer Support
Even after sending them two screenshots like this, I have gotten no response and no answer to how I might REMOVE the plugin from Safari. So while I like the program, I would be able to RECOMMEND IT if the comapny was at least responsive and recognizes that there is, in fact, an issue to be resolved.

Exporting 6 channel discrete mono tracks (5.1 mix) I only get 2 tracks with compressed audio and 4 empty track on my output.

Exporting 6 channel discrete mono tracks (5.1 mix) I only get 2 tracks with compressed audio and 4 empty track on my output. I'm using Premiere Pro CC14, sequence settings and export setting pasted below. Please help need to export feature trailer for iTunes release next week. Yikes!!!

Thanks for the notes. Im almost there but not quite. I create my sequence 5.1 like you said
then map the dots and LFE. But when I go export media is only give me the option of 1 track 5.1 not 6 discrete channels.
I check my settings and they LOOK right
then I go into my modify clip settings and I see the number of audio tracks as 1 so maybe thats why Im getting only 1 channel 5.1.
But when I select different settings in modify clip environment I can get it to LOOK correct to me
everything seems to be assigned correctly. But when I go back to export it only still gives me the same option of exporting with 5.1 as a single track.

I can't select "audio output stereo" on a track in the arrange window

When I create a new song, in the Arrange window I can
choose "audio output stereo" for a given track, and
access the mixer's output from there. Fab.
When I open a song that I oringally created using Logic 5,
"audio output stereo" does not appear.
Is this something about the file format?
(a) is there something simple to do to enable that for
older songs, or (b) is there a way to convert older song files to LE7?
thanks,
fred, san rafael.
[email protected]

Sorry, je suis un idiot.
FYI. I went into the Environment window and found "Output 1-2"
to be un-checked. Checking it now makes "audio output stero" an available option in that song.
Thanks for listening.

Multiple use of the same video time line for different audio tracks

I have a 90 minute video timeline
I will be putting different audio tracks in multiple languages.
But as i was just editing i wondered if i could use only a segment (30 minutes ) of the timeline
along with a 30 minute audio.
Example:
So the first thing on the menu will be the whole 90 minute video
with a 90 minute music track
Second thing might be the 90 minute video with a 90 minute commentary
Third thing might be the first 30 minutes of video with a different commentary
Forth thing on the menu might be the first 30 minutes of video and 30 minutes of
a different language
Etc.
I realize i will need to make space (mb) for all the audio.....but if i could use the same video or pieces of it
that would be fantastic.
If i can do this i am presuming i should use playlists and chapter playlists to get it done?
I have never done this before and would love some feedback on an over view or tips
that might save me some guess work
Thanks for any help :-)

Hey Stan!
Thanks for your help...i think i am really getting this. And have learned a lot.
I had to go back to my computer programming and flowcharting skills to figure out the flow :-)
And i still have 153mb to spare when i build it.
I ended up lining up all the different videos and audios exactly for each time line except for 1 timeline.
Question: I know if the audio is shorter it will be ok.... but if the audio is longer than the video on a timeline ( and its the audio i assigned it by specify link )
Will the DVD keep playing until the audio is done or end when the video is done playing?
2nd Question: I am previewing the playlists with the "Preview from Here" feature
I specify the link and chapter within that timeline ( it is the only timeline with more than one chaper....the one with the longer audio than video from the question above )
For most of the audios i only need video chapter 1.....the preview here plays it ok but if i hit the skip to next (in the preview button on theright of the play button)...it goes to the next chapter #2... instead of the next timeline chapter 1 like it is programed to do from the playlist.
I am wondering if this is just fluke in the preview feature...or will it do that on the actual DVD as well?
Lastly because i am using different timelines. I am wondering if there are delays between playlists? for example...i have a long audio that continues between three timelines...i have spliced it pretty fine so it picks up perfectly on the next timeline...but i am wondering if the DVD when playing in realtime will have a little black space inbetween timelines.
Thanks again for your help and time :-)
Mark
Hiya Mark.
DVD-Video is video dominant, with the audio always following the visuals so if the audio ends berfore the video it will not (okay, should not) be a problem.
However, the other way around could go either way - if the actual video timeline has ended the audio may well truncate so I would personally add videoblack at the very least.
I am also not at all sure how you are going to work a single contiguous audio file across 3 separate playlists. This sounds flawed in concept to me (have I misunderstood your meaning?). In DVD-Video the format is graphically/visually dominant - the audio must always be tied to a visual asset be it a menu or a timeline - so there is no way to have one piece of audio playing across 3 timelines and having it play back glitch free whilst the timeline changes. You will not get a black space - it will simply stop. So unless I have misunderstood you in some way.........
As Stan says, preview is flaky - the only way to know for sure is to multiplex & burn.

Choose different audio tracks in PE10 full version possible?!

Oky, I have tested this with Adobe PE10, but WHERE do I choose which audio track I want to import/use in the timeline?! Where can I see if the clip has more than 1 stream in Adobe Premiere Elements 10? I have tried looking in settings etc., but no luck. I KNOW that my video got 4 different audio tracks in it, but when I add the media to Adobe PE10 (it's a .m2ts-format file), only 1 stream (the DEFAULT audio stream, which is the WRONG stream) is what I get. Where are the other 3 audio streams, and how can I use them? It's nothing special about the clip itself. I can play the audio and video in the timeline, it just got the wrong audio stream...
I am asking because I see many articles/posts that mention you can do this in PE10, but I don't understand where... So far I have yet to find ANY video editing software that supports this.
And converting the audio FROM the .m2ts-file using a 3rd-party program is out of the question as well. If it does not work with PE10, then I have to find another solution, I suppose.

You do not have the option of choosing between the main track and the dub track from a video clip in Premiere Elements, Goodie. You just get the main track. So if that's what you're talking about, you'll need to look elsewhere. Though I'm not sure where because I don't know ANY video software that does this. What makes you think it's even available?
The exception is when you're shooting in 5.1 audio in AVCHD. If you've set your project up for 5.1 audio, you can control the level of each of the five tracks independently.

Different Audio Track for Tittle

Did some googling and searching on here and can't figure this out. I have my movie done and want to add a tittle page or series of tittle pages with a different audio track than the one on my movie, how would I go about doing this?
Thanks
Alex G.

Hi,
You can add audio directly to each clip or of course you can add audio to the whole project. You can control where the background music starts and stops too. The link below is very informative and shows you just how to do this.
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/imovie_09stone.html#audio%20adjustments
Personally, I have found that if I export my finished movie to the media browser and select the 'mobile' size for speed, as you will have to republish after you add the new soundtrack anyway! I then open Garageband and select movie track. I then select the movie from the media browser within Garageband and drag it into the track. I am now able to have full audio editing control, I can use several different pieces of music, placing them where I want and at what volume I choose. When I have finished my audio track, I delete the movie track and the movie audio track and save my file. This leaves my new music track. I then export this track to iTunes. Next, I open iMovie and I locate my soundtrack and drag it into the movie as a background track. I have found this to be the method that gives me full control.
Good luck!
