8 bit error- My audio recording is completely silent!

I made an audio recording on garage band. Before the recording was finished, there was an error that said that the audio was too long to play in real time, and so when I played the audio back, it played very slowly and in a very deep voice. After a little while, garage band stated that the file was not supported and that there was an 8 bit error. Now, I can't hear anything, and a lot of the recording is missing.
What do I do?

I've tried multiple firewire cables and tried both firewire ports for each and still my audio interface does not show up as a connected sound output device in system preferences. The manufacturer tech I've been speaking with has determined that the drivers are up to date and there is not a problem in that regard.
Could the firewire port itself have gone bad?

Frequent run-time errors during audio recording

While recording audio voice-over for a slide, I'll often do
several "takes" before finding the best one. All too frequently,
when I click OK, I encounter a run-time error that terminates the
Captivate 2 software. I've done the default installation on two
machines and encountered the same problem on both. Are other users
running into this problem as well? Any fixes / workarounds to
suggest? Is this problem fixed with Captivate 3?
Below is the message that appears.
Title Bar: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
Messaqe Text: Program: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate
2\AdobeCaptivate.exe

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi folks,
The first thing I would do is to remove the .dat file that
can be found via the following path:
C:\Document and Settings\Username\Application
Data\Adobe\Adobe Captivate\
Rename the captivate_v20.dat to something like
Old_captivate_v20.dat and then start up Adobe Captivate.
If this doesn't address the problem then report this as a bug

"Audio Record Path Not Found" error and new details

I've been having problems opening up older GarageBand files I've created and trying to add new content. When I try to record on an existing track, or in a new track, I get the error: "Audio Record Path not Found! Please enter it in the following dialog." (and there's no following dialog). I've tried to save the file as an archive, which has worked in the past, but doesn't work any longer. I'm using a MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 15"
As a test, I installed iLife 06 on my older (PowerPC-based) Mac Mini. On that computer, I'm able to open the files, and record onto an existing track. None of my recording equipment is attached to this machine, however. If I save an archive and move it to my macBook Pro, I'm still not able to add recordings to it.
I tried reintalling GarageBand on my MBP, but I still get the same error. I've also deleted the preference files from Library > Preferences. (the two com.apple.garageband... files), and still no luck. It doesn't sound like the audio files themsleves are corrupted since I can open them on the Mini, so it's likely GarageBand. What else can I delete to make it a pristine installation?
I don't want to use my Mac Mini for recording, as it's too slow for my editing needs, but if I can't open the files on my MacBook Pro, I'll have to re-record them.
Anyone have any ideas I can try?

Excellent suggestion! I actually left the files on the external USB drive on which I store them, and accessed them from my MacBook Pro (instead of moving the files to the MacBook Pro), and sure enough, I'm able to edit and add to the files!
I still don't know why I can't access them locally on the MBP, but this workaround is certainly acceptible for my needs!
Thanks out to everyone who helped on this thread!

16 bit 48Khz audio recording on iPhone?

I am looking for an audio recording App that records audio in 16bit 48Khz quality. Does anyone know if it is possible, if so, what App does it?
All the Apps I have seen to record Audio only go up to 44.1Khz.
I thought I saw one somewhere that did it, but I can't find it now.
Cheers,

You need to change the length of the song sections and turn on "automatic" for your recording, see this Help page: http://help.apple.com/garageband/ipad/2.0/index.html#chs3c3ef5dc
Change the length of a section
Open the song section controls and tap the section you want to change.
Tap the up or down arrow next to Manual to lengthen or shorten the section incrementally by bars. You can swipe vertically to change it in larger values.
If you want the section to match the length of your next recording (to the nearest bar), turn on Automatic before you record. This is especially useful when recording improvisations or longer parts. The Automatic option is available only for the last (rightmost) section in a song.
Tap anywhere in Tracks view to close the song section controls.
When you shorten a section, any regions extending past the end of the section are shortened. When you lengthen a section, all regions that extend from the beginning to the end of the section now loop to the new end of the section. A section can be any number of bars, and the overall song can be up to 320 bars long.

How do I fix bad Quality audio recording in Captivate 4

I am having trouble recording decent quality audio in Captivate 4.
What is happening is after I do the screen and audio recording when I play it back the audio is choppy.
It also kind of sounds like the audio is quickly echoed and then clipped.
Finally this clipping and choppiness seems random when it happens.
I tested this by recording 5 minutes of the demonstration (which recorded with only 1 glitch in the beginning).
When I just recorded the second half when I played it back in Captivate it was very choppy again throughout the audio making the complete session unusable.
I am doing full motion recording of an application at 1024x768. I have tried all audio recording bitrates and have even gone up to 128kbps 16bit mp3.
I am using a high quality Audio-Technica AT2020 USB microphone.
I am running Windows Vista Service pack 2 fully updated with 4GB of memory on an Intel xeon W3503 2.4Ghz in 64 bit mode.
I have installed the latest patch update http://www.adobe.com/support/captivate/downloads.html 4.4.0.1 hoping that it waould solve the audio bugs to no avail.
Please let me know what else I may need to do to get Captivate 4 working like it should.
Are there any other settings or tests I should perform to get audio recording working.
Why would I even want to pay for Captivate 5 if Captivate 4 has worked so randomly for me.
Using 3rd party software like Audacity and even Adobe Soundbooth seems absurd when Captivate has audio recording built in.
For the time being I have gone back to Camtasia on another system because it actually seems to work but need to get Captivate working on my own system.

Try "Rapid Recorder" from store....it works well.

No 24-bit 96 kHz audio in media pla

I have a vista premium HTPC and a Audigy 2 NX USB sound card connected to a NAD analogue stereo used mainly for TV and music listening with a 2. focal system. Vista is fully updated. I checked 24 bit 96-kHz audio in Vista when i installed it in march -06 and had no audio problems. Some time ago i experienced audio cutting of suddenly while watching or recording TV. I checked the audio settings and found that all ripped audio (wma/mp3) in media player was dead silent without error messages. CD audio works but no ripped material. 24-bit 48 kHz worked, but not 96kHz. Other media players like winamp or foobar2000 plays in 96 kHz, but not media player/media center, is the codec broken or what?. How is the bit depth and frequency you set in creative media console related to the settings in vista? Does it matter what signal the nx is getting in the USB cable? What is the optimal setting in vista and creative audio console?

Doen't matter which faders you use. The final output is all that matters.
For digital broadcasting we use -20dB as the standard tone level. Our max peak (max) runs around -6 dB. Most of the music is much lower because it's RMS value is so much higher that the music is a lot fuller in volume. It goes over poorly when they flip on the video and get blasted out of their chairs.

Garageband 8-bit error

I usually record class lectures using garageband. I haven't had any problems so far, but one of the lecture is giving me an error. This is the first time i have tried to open it since it was recorded. At first i get a message that says "this file is not supported" then it says "GarageBand found 1 audio file(s) in 8 bit format. This format is unsupported and cannot be played back."
I have been trying for hours without any luck. Is this an unfixable bug? Anyone find a fix?
thank you

Which version of GarageBand are you using?
I have never seen this 8-bit error myself, but when someone reported the issue, it usually has been caused by a corrupted project. In that case try to rebuild the project by opening the package and extraction the audio files, as described in this post by Christoph Drösser:

CP5 Audio recording crashing program

I am on a free trial of Captivate 5, looking to update from 4. One issue we've had in both versions is audio recording crashing Captivate. Recording new slides is not a problem. However, when I go to add an audio recording to a slide using the mic on my laptop, it works perfectly for two or three (sometimes up to 5 or 6) slides, then one of two things will happen:
1) The microphone is no longer found - the system either returns the error "Cannot detect audio input device" or "Internal Audio Error."
2) Captivate stops responding and I have to restart the program.
I am having to save the project after each recording, on the chance the next one will crash the program. This is taking forever. None of the projects I'm working on are over 75 slides, and they are between 8-12Mb in size.
Could this just be a memory issue? I'm running CP5 on Vista, 32 bit with 3 GB ram. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

Welcome to discussions, lisabirm.
What happened between a couple months ago and now?
I don't know. Did you update to QuickTime 7? if so, exactly what version are you running now?
Also, try deleting the imovie preference file.
Close iMovie.
Then locate a file named com.apple.imovie3.plist and get rid of it. It is still called iMovie3 even if you have iMovie 4. Then empty the trash, run a permissions repair with disk utility and restart. That should do it. The files you need to delete are found in:
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.imovie3.plist

Recording lags, audio records choppy.

I'm recording with my Logitech USB mic. When I record I notice the bar lags and jumps a bit. When I stop recording the audio has little gaps here and there. When I play the audio it is completely choppy.
Help?

Sorry Eric, yeah system info would help. I am running Adobe Audition 3 on Windows Vista Business Edition SP1. The computer has 2 250gb SATA drives that are both barely full at all (this is a pretty fresh install, re-installed cause I thought perhaps that was the problem). Computer has 2 gigs of ram, a Pentium 4 2.4ghz processor, an XFX GeForce 7600 GT 512 mb video card and an external USB Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX 24bit Advanced HD sound card. I am a pretty heavy Adobe user and run Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop, Encore, and Illustrator all with no problems. Just Audition seems to be the only one causing me problems since I switched to Vista from XP. It just runs very poorly. Everything works smoothly until I either hit record or play. If I am actually messing with audio in any way everything slows down. If I am playing audio the location indicator scrolling across the audio will go, then stop, then go again, then jerk a bit, meanwhile the audio stops and goes and sounds a bit electronically "poppy" as well. When recording from either an input or from local sound on the computer it does the same thing. Slow, and jerky movement only recording bits and peices of the audio so that when I play back the recorded track, there are holes in the audio or skips where nothing recorded. I have never had this problem with XP before. Worked beautifully. FYI, the sound card works good. Have the newest drivers and all, a little ticked that full 5.1 EAX sound doesn't work with these cards in Vista because I'm a gamer as well. I work in IT at City Hall and have access to alot of sound cards and have tried many different ones in this computer in hopes of Audition working because perhaps my soundcard is the wrong one but to no avail. I always have the same problem. I realize using the "Audition Sound" Direct Audio mode isn't the best to use but none of the sound cards I have access to are ASIO cards. I heard about the recommended ASIO4ALL program about a month ago and thought I'd give that a try. I could never get it to work properly. It barely improved the performance of recording any audio and I could only play back the audio half the time for some reason. The other half Audition would lock up after I hit play and tell me the needed driver was not available or in use. That is pretty much where I am now, I'm just about to say, "Screw It" and go back to XP. It's a shame too because I've gotten to rather like Vista. The only thing at all I have had problems with so far with Vista are the audio features but perhaps Vista just doesn't work very well with Sound Blaster cards. Maybe I'll have to switch to a different brand. My only fear is I'll switch to a different brand and it won't work either. Hope this info helps. This is where I am at now. I don't particularly want to switch back to XP but if it's all I can do, then I guess I'll do it. I appreciate any help anyone can give though. And sorry about the book, just wanted to make sure I got it all in.

External Hard Drive and Audio Recording Application

Hi, hope everyone is doing well today. I'm new to this forum but I have been occasionally browsing it from time to time and find it very useful. So I figured I would post a couple questions that I have.
First of all I would like to tell you all excatly what I want to do with my computer. Currently I am trying to optimize my computer for the Audio Recording Application I have *Cubase SX 3* I recently just upgraded my RAM from 512 KB to 1.5 GB. My next purchased is most definitaly going to be an external hard drive, which leads me to my first question.
1. If someone could recomend me an external hard drive that is abosolutly amazing for audio recording and such around $150. I would ONLY be using the drive to save my audio files. Definitaly needs to be firewire also.
2. Next question is. I've heard of people booting from their external hard drives which has nothing but there OS and there audio recording application. That way when they boot it up they don't have processes running "Behind the scenes" and taking up some processor power. Is this true? If so, how would you going about doing this and what would I need?
3. If anybody else that is reading this is like me and does alot of audio editing on their iMac G5 computer if you could give me some tips in optimizing the performance of the computer in order to get the most out of it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks ahead of time everyone.

iMac G5 w/o iSight Mac OS X (10.4.4) 20" screen 2.0 Ghz, 1.5 RAM, 250GB Hard Drive

1. If someone could recomend me an external hard
drive that is abosolutly amazing for audio recording
and such around $150. I would ONLY be using the
drive to save my audio files. Definitaly needs to be
firewire also.
Hard drives are pretty much the same. 7200 rpm are obviously a bit faster than 5400rpm. Why Firewire? USB 2 is about the same speed as standard Firewire 400, but the drives are cheaper.
2. Next question is. I've heard of people booting
from their external hard drives which has nothing but
there OS and there audio recording application. That
way when they boot it up they don't have processes
running "Behind the scenes" and taking up some
processor power. Is this true? If so, how would you
going about doing this and what would I need?
OS processes are going to be running in the background regardless of which disk the OS is on, that's what an OS does! If you don't want more processes simply make sure you don't have any other apps open. I don't know Cubase, but a G5 will handle video editing along with background tasks no problem, and video editing generally involves far more data manipulation than just sound, even if you're doing multiple tracks.
You can easily install the OS on an external hard drive using your original system install disk. Simply connect the drive and choose that as the destination in the installer. To boot from that you would choose it in System preferences/Startup Disk. You could minimise that system by deleting other applications from that drive's Applications folder, turning off internet connections, disabling all widgets etc, but as long as you only have Cubase open it shouldn't make too much difference.
3. If anybody else that is reading this is like me
and does alot of audio editing on their iMac G5
computer if you could give me some tips in optimizing
the performance of the computer in order to get the
most out of it.
There's not really much else to optimise. Modern Macs are not like computers of old, and OS X is a very modern system, not requiring the type of disk optimisation etc that there used to be.

T4i Rebel error message "movie recording has stopped automatically"

I was recording my client when suddenly I got a this error message "movie recording has stopped automatically" and I could not record video anymore. I am recording on a class 10 sandisk Ultra card. 720/60, EFS18-135mm lens. Never had any problems in the past. First I get a small veterical meter on the frame and then after 5 secs the recording stops with this error message. Please tell me it is opeartor error...I have had this camera for 2 years now and never had a problem. I tried multiple cards.
thanks for the help,
DM

Either you or the person you spoke to at Canon was confused.
What the camera requires for video purposes is a card which is "at least" Class 6 or faster. The class designation is an indicator of the cards data transfer speed. Class 6 actually means the card is capable of transfering data (either reading or writing) at "at least" 6 megabytes per second. A Class 10 card can transfer data at "at least" 10 megabytes per second.
The T4i is also compatible with "UHS-1" cards... which are significantly faster than eithe Class 6 or 10.
The reason for requiring "at least" Class 6 has to do with how fast the camera is attempting to capture and save frames of video to the card. The camera actually has an internal memory buffer which is very fast. When you start recording, the data is being saved to that buffer... and simultaneously the camera also starts taking the data from the buffer and saving it to the memory card (which is slower). If the camera is recording video only slightly faster than the card can record, then it will actually take a few minutes before the buffer is completely filled. But at that point the camera has no choice but to stop recording because it has absolutely no place to save data ... the internal buffer is full and it can't empty the buffer because the memory card can't save data as fast as new frames of video are coming in.
Faster is always better.
Memory cards do actually wear out and develop errors over time. This is normal. A good card will re-map the bad blocks so they aren't used anymore... and this is why you should do a low-level format IN CAMERA (not using the computer). Good cards also have a "memory leveling" technology to try to use all the blocks roughly an equal number amount. This extends the userful life of the card.
When replacing the card, do not skimp on quality! I cannot emphasize that point enough. Most times when someone brings up this issue... it's the card that is having problems and not the camera.
It's easy to produce forgery cards which look like a good brand but are not. Buy GOOD cards from REPUTABLE dealers. Do not shop for the cheapest website on the Internet with a questionable reputation in order to save a couple of bucks.
Lexar brand and SanDisk brand are good.
When buying memory cards, I only buy cards from Lexar and SanDisk. I also buy their highest end cards (by speed performance... not necessarily their biggest capactiy cards). I buy the cards from dealers with a solid reputation. This avoids the unpleasant error messages which always seem to happen at the worst possible time.

Giving advice on audio recording

I first started using Captivate when it was Robodemo 5 and
that was not all that long ago. I remember when I first downloaded
it. I thought it was the greatest training software ever. However I
did have problems. The most long lived problems were with audio
recordings. I know that many people have. On some of the forums I
read where one person had given up on Captivate. They did not like
the inconsistent recording of the audio. Sometimes it would be deep
and resounding the next slide would sound as if you are at the end
of a tunnel,and the very next recording would sound metallic and
soft sounding.
Just like with everything else if you are persistent enough
you will find a solution. I tried various mikes some expensive
others less expensive. They all produced the same results.
Inconsistent recordings. The recordings to me were passeable but
all not that great. Then I ordered one of those newer usb condensor
podcastiing mikes.
All I can say is wow! Those new podcasting mikes they level
out the sound.You can still notice that one recording sounds a
tiny,tiny,different than the next,but barely noticeable.
Most of us are not radio announcers or professional
broadcasters however to me the mike made an incredible difference
in Captivates audio recording quality.

Hello Rick!
The microphone is around 80 dollars, it comes with a soft
ware preamp, and I have always recorded directly into Captivate.
Even a low bit rates and encoding frequencies it still sounds good.
All my Captivate files are produced for the web. Html and .swf
files.
It is the mike Rick that made the difference. It is a Samson
microphone. It is quite large and heavy. I found out about it
through podcasters. I wondered what podcasters were using to record
audio. Audio quality would be important to them. What I wanted was
the best mike for recording onto a computer. The podcasters are
fanatics about the mikes they use.
Here is the advert from Samson.
"The C01U USB Studio Condenser Mic is the first affordable
studio condenser mic with a USB interface.
For the first time ever, musicians who record music on
computers have a simple, affordable way to capture high-quality
vocal and acoustic instrument performances.Seamless integration was
the idea, and it was obtained by creating a studio condenser
microphone that can be plugged into any computer with no in/out
boxes, no expensive computer pre-amps, just a USB cable.
The C01U condenser microphone is based on our wildly
successful C01. It features a 19mm internal shock mounted diaphragm
with a cardioid pick up pattern ensuring pristine studio quality
recordings."
Most online music stores carry these . Find one that you can
trust. Just Google Samson microphones.
Everyone can have good quality audio recorded directly into
Captivate. For those new at audio recording listen to podcasters
and other broadcasters. Animate your voice to make it more
interesting,speak at the same volume level, get a "pop" filter or
make your own with a nylon and reformed wire coat hangar. Practice
with your voice ,adjust the settings ,test various settings out and
soon you will be saying " wow"!
