Another Audio Question

I thought I understood how Captivate (3 or 4) handles recording audio, but now I'm not sure. I always thought I should set the audio settings as high as possible when I record my audio in Captivate (so I'd have good quality audio), then change the audio settings down when I'm ready to publish so as to reduce the file size but still maintain a decent audio quality. But now I'm thinking the audio settings dialog only deals with the published mp3 output, not the wav that gets created. Am I right or wrong in my thinking? But even that thought confuses me, because in the Advanced Audio Management dialog, it shows all my recorded audio has a sample rate of 44.10 Khz, regardless of what setting I selected when recording (which lends credence to my last statement that it deals only with published output.) But the bit rate in the Advanced Audio Management dialog shows what I selected when recording (which blows away my last theory.) So I'm confused. Can anyone shed any light on what settings I should set when I'm actually recording in Captivate? Does it matter?
Thanks for your insights.
Mister C.
And Oh, by the way, if I edit any audio in Captivate, it changes the bitrate to 705 kbps. ???

OK, I'm still not sure I understand how Captivate records audio. In CP6, when I look at the Audio Management dialog box,
the audio sample rate is 44.10 kHz for all audio clips, and the bitrate is 706 kbps for all audio clips. This is regardless of what audio settings I select when I record the audio:
So, it still looks to me like the Audio Settings dialog only applies when I'm publishing my project, and Captivate is converting the WAVE files to MP3 for the output. The library stores the WAVE files, and Captivate converts them to MP3 when publishing, using the Audio Settings as shown above.
Am I all wet? Can someone from Adobe clairfy this???
Thanks.

Hopefully Simple Audio Question

I am doing a highlight film for a local high school and I have a question about the music. At the end of the game highlight sometimes the song is not completly over so I cut it to end it at the same time as the video. My question for you is how can I fade out just the last 5 seconds of the song and not fade out the whole song. I don't want it getting softer and softer through the song. I think you do it by cutting the last 5 or 10 sec. of the audio (song) and make it an independent clip then take that clip and fade it out. Will this work or not. Thanks. Also I am having a lot of trouble adding text to my video. Should I just do it in motion and not even mess with it in Final Cut. Thanks

press Option W to turn on clip overlays.
then press p to change to the pen tool.
on your music track create an audio keyframe about 5 seconds before the end (just click on the line in the audio track using the pen tool)
create another audio keyframe at the end of the music, and drag this one down to the bottom of the track
... yaaa, you just created an audio fade
alternatively just apply a crossfade transition to the end of your audio track and make the crossfade last 5 seconds long

1. I didn't know the answer to your first question, but I googled it and it says the item is the in-call audio boost.

2. isn't this setting determined by the carrier? So it's not a setting in the phone, but when you call in to your voicemail you can change your options?

Can't edit multiple tracks - plus 2 easy audio questions

I have a sequence with 1 video track and 6 stereo audio tracks. I set an in and an out point. The area on the clips in the timeline between the two edit points highlights, I hit delete. Normally, the tracks between the points should disappear as the two segments come together and form one great edit.
But all the tracks do not highlight and edit. The video track and stereo audio tracks 3+4 and 5+6 highlight and LIFT off. But audio tracks 1+2 do not highlight or edit. And the whole sequence doesn't close together where the edit should be.
Only way I have been able to overcome this is to use the razor blade tool, cut each track individually. Highlight them all, and then hit delete.
This didn't use to be the way. FCP used to edit through one track, 3 tracks or all tracks, no problem.
Two audio questions. How do you stop the waveforms from drawing onto the clips in the timeline, in order to speed up FCP?
How do you get the audio in captured clips to be a Stereo Pair, from the outset?
Thanks to all you who help!

Is it usual for FCP to bog down on a 4 minute piece when audio wave forms are turned on??
<
No. Should run fine. You get up into 6-12 audio tracks, FCP gets all moody and pouty.
But it depends on your system's capabilities and how well you have chosen your sequence settings.
Audio waveforms n FCP are a cruel joke compared to many other NLEs. Often easier to leave them off in the timeline, use the waveform in the Viewer and set markers for hooks in the audio tracks.

AIR 3.3 stop background audio when another audio app is launched?

I currently have audio playing in the background in my AIR app for iOS. My problem is that when you have the audio playing in the background, and you launch any other audio app on your phone...the audio starts to overlap because my AIR app does not stop playing audio. So when you open Pandora, Music, IHeartRadio, Youtube, etc...the AIR audio still plays.
Is this fixed in the AIR 3.3 release with the <executeInBackground> tag? Or is there another way for my AIR app to recognize that another audio app is launching? All the afformentioned apps play nice together like that.
I would think this would be grounds for not being accepted in the iTunes store.
I really need some answers because my app is set to go live soon and this will be a game changer if I cannot fix it. I will probably have to try and create it in objective C
Thanks in advance for any help!
-- I posted this in the wrong place last night and meant to post it here. --

Thanks a lot for the reply!
It is very unfortunate that there is not a solution to this. It seems that building an audio/music player app via AIR for iOS is not really feasable due to this limitation.
I would think the use case would be larger for my case because typically, when you launch a game on your iPhone, the background audio application stops the music. Or maybe just have a listener that could detect if another app was launched at least, so you could stop your AIR audio by choice. That would be great.
Do you see this as grounds for an audio app being rejected? If the background audio does not stop unless you physically go back into the app and pause it?
Thanks.

Another newb question: multiple virtual servers

Hi, I have yet another ignorant question. I have several unrelated web projects that I am working on, and I would like to be able to set up a virtual server for each one for testing purposes, such as: http://project1, http://project2, http://project3. Can someone tell me if this is doable, and if there are any tutorials/resources on this for someone who has 0 experience running a web serer? Sorry for being so ignorant!

Yes, it is doable.
You can setup virtual server either by IP or by name.
If you have one IP, and want to set them up by name (ex. http://project1, http://project2, http://project3) you can do so easily with this type of configuration:
<virtual-server>
    <name>mydomain</name>
    <http-listener-name>http-listener-1</http-listener-name>
    <host>*.mydomain.com</host>
    <document-root>/www/domain</document-root>
</virtual-server>
<virtual-server>
    <name>myotherdomain</name>
    <http-listener-name>http-listener-1</http-listener-name>
    <host>*.myotherdomain.com</host>
    <document-root>/www/myotherdomain</document-root>
</virtual-server>
....The important part here is that
a) all virtual servers share the same HTTP listener
b) which virtual server serves the request depends on the $HOST request header send by the client. Sun Web Server does the matching for you. It will match $HOST vs. the virtual server's host attribute. Depending on which site you connect to the right virtual server will be used.
c) if the $HOST request header does not match any of the virtual servers, then the default virtual server defined in the HTTP listener will be used.
To create a virtual server, use the Admin GUI, access the configuration, and then add new virtual server. Or use the following CLI command.
wadm> create-virtual-server --config=myconfig --http-listener-name=http-listener-1 --document-root=/www/docs/myserver.com --host-pattern=myserver.com --log-file=../logs/myserver.com-error_logs myserverHost pattern will be used for matching. Some of this elements might be optional.
Hope that helps. And keep the questions coming :D
Edit: Also check the documentation

Audio question for you Premiere Pro vets...

Hi there -
FCP editor here who is loving the new PPro CS5 and is trying to convince my studio to do our next show on it.
I'm having trouble with one particular audio situation and so far all the help documents I've read aren't giving me an answer:
I'm trying to export a quicktime file with multiple audio tracks. For example: track 1 is a stereo track with all the camera audio, while track 2 is a stereo track with Music & effects. This would create a similar situation of a TV show dumped to tape with channels 1&2 program audio, and channel 3&4 Music and Effects.
My assumed path would be to create 2 submixes: 1 "camera" and 2 "music & Effects." I was then hoping to export a quicktime with each sub mix as a separate audio track inside the exported quicktime. Is this correct?
Can anyone help an old man out?

Thanks so much for helping with this. I can only hope that Todd sees it also.
I have submitted a feature request. Regardless, the ability to map tracks to channels, and the ability to create quicktime files with multiple audio tracks is definitely something that should be possible.
If you're wondering more about the applied use: Besides being able to map tracks to an audio channel for tape, the most important time when this is used is this: At the end of a TV show it's customary for us to export a final quicktime with program audio and music separated: 2 audio tracks in one quicktime. If we want director commentary, that also becomes another audio track inside the quicktime. A "track" can be stereo or mono.
It creates a single quicktime file where all audio elements are separated, allowing us to distribute a single file to multiple departments who may have unique editing/sound requirements. Simplifies things a lot.
As it stands now, we would have to take the quicktime/audio elements back into Final Cut Pro or AVID to achieve this. (Unless someone else knows a way to do in Premiere - I'm all ears).

Stopping audio and starting another audio when button clicked

Hello,
I have a multiple slide document, and I want sound to stop
when they click the "Next" button, and another audio clip to start.
Here is what I have so far:
//audio
x = new Sound();
x.attachSound("Slide1");
x.start(0, 0);
musicplay = true;
forward_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndStop("2");
numbering eq numbering++;
So I just want it to play audio clip "Slide2" when they click
forward_btn, and I want "Slide1" to stop.
Thanks!

Attach your second sound file to the frame that will play the
second sound. Then try adding stopAllSounds() before the
gotoAndStop("2"); to get the first sound to stop playing and then
play the second sound.

Widget audio question/problem help

im currently having an issue regarding audio.
i made a widget with audio. it plays properly but the problem is after i play it and close the widget i have another audio on the page.
tapping it wont play. the only thing i can do to make the page audio to play again after tapping is to navigate thru some pages and play something else and then go back to the previous page for it to play.
im thinking that the audio inside the widget is not making me play the audio outside the widget after i play it. is there a way to refresh the audio inside the widget after it plays. then maybe after playing the audio inside the widget i can play the audio on the page after closing the widget.
i cant believe i use the word widget so me

i just tried making a new book with just one widget and audio and the results is the same....
if i play the audio in the widget first and exit the audio on the page wont play. but if i play the audio on the page first it plays and opening the widget after.
i just noticed when i play the audio inside the widget and close the widget without letting the audio finish, when i went back and open it again it plays where i left off. maybe this is the reason why the audio on the page is not playing after playing the audio inside the widget. i think the audio inside the widget never restart automatically.
is there a workaround in that?
the only way i can play the audio page after the audio in the widget is to navigate away to tahe page and play something else then go back

Why do my EMPTY audio tracks playback ANOTHER audio track?

Why do my EMPTY audio tracks playback ANOTHER audio track?
Example: A vocal track (audio 2) being played through an empty guitar track (audio 1).
The vocal track is magically being played through the guitar track with distortion. WHAT possible feature is this good for and how do I get rid of this annoying problem? I looked at the reassign tracks menu and it doesn't say its connected or anything... I don't know if this has been addressed before on this site but I can't find the answer any where on Apple Discussion's website. Please help.
Thanks

A key concept to understand is that Logic is more flexible when it comes to "tracks" than most other DAWs.
For instance, most DAW use a fixed "one arrange track is one audio channel" approach.
Logic doesn't. You can have many arrange tracks all assigned to the same audio mixer channel (although only one will sound at a time).
You probably have two arrange tracks assigned to the same audio object (key command "New arrange track with same object") rather than creating a new arrange track together with a new independent audio channel (key command "New arrange track with next object").
Try this. Hit the + button at the top of the track list, and create a new audio track. This creates a new arrange track and assigns it to the next available audio object.
Move your second region to this new track - does that work as you expect now?

Isight with another audio input?

I want to record a video with isight but with another audio input other than the built in microphone. I have tried changing the input in preferences - sound - input but that doesnt seem to apply with the audio in photo booth.

(1) Yes, for many common problems, location really does matter, although I think not for this one.
(2) Photo Booth is such a simple fun app that it offers few configuration options, although the latest version (Photo Booth 3.x) adds the ability to choose among connected cameras. However, there is still no menu choice that allows you to select among microphones. The only way I know to change mics is to change the system microphone in your Mac's System Preferences... > Sound > Input like you tried to do.
You do not say what sound input you want to use instead of your MacBook's internal microphone. I have tested my Photo Booth with my Apple LED Display, external iSight, and Logitech Desktop mics. All worked. Testing again after you shut down (not "Restart") your MacBook and then start it up again.
(3) If you still have trouble, test with QuickTime instead of Photo Booth. QT lets you change the microphone source by clicking QT's Preferences disclosure triangle as shown in this image:
You Mac's choices will be different than those shown in the image, but any sound input source that is recognized by your Mac will be there. Any mic that works in QT should also work for Photo Booth when selected in your Mac's System Preferences... > Sound > Input. After selecting the mic, say a few words and watch the "Input level:" meter to check whether the mic is working.
After selecting your other microphone, the blue indicator lights in the sound check "Input level:" meter in Preferences should flicker when you talk. If they do, the mic should also work with Photo Booth.
(4) If your alternate mic works with QT but still fails with Photo Booth, try resetting your Photo Booth preferences. If you have never done it, here is how:
• Restart Mac
• Navigate to the "com.apple.PhotoBooth.plist" file in your Home ( ) > Library > Preferences folder.
(Be sure you are in the Home Folder preferences folder, not your System's.)
• Throw the "com.apple.PhotoBooth.plist" file in the Trash
• Launch PB and test again.
(5) If the PB problem persists, apply the 10.6.6 Combo Update using the following process:
• Backup your Mac and turn off Time Machine
• Disconnect peripherals and restart Mac
• Use Disk Utility to repair permissions
• Download and install http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
• Repair permissions again immediately following the restart that finishes the update.
• Test PB again
(• Turn Time Machine on again when you are satisfied that the update worked.)

875P Audio Question

Does anyone know if you can use the onboard audio controller on the 875P and another audio card at the same time? I want to hook up my 5.1 speakers to the onboard AC97 audio controller, but I want to input audio thru a different audio card. If I can't use both at the same time, is it possible to switch between the 2 without going thru BIOS?

Another audio interface question

hi all, esp. hangtime
im looking at the firepod and firestudio interfaces on the presonus site to replace my mackie 1202-vlz pro. theres only 2 things im hoping to change. one thing is having a mixer rack mounted so its more stable for transporting to gigs and the other is being able to multitrack record into my computer. one question arises i cant see on the site. do the interfaces support stand alone operation? what i mean is right now i can adjust each tracks volume and eq with knobs live without dragging my computer to a gig. could i still do that if i replace the mackie with one of those?
thanks for any help.

Hah, I just bought a Presonus Firestudio last week! And yes, it can do stand alone operation. It stores the last setting you made (you make new settings with the presonus application) onto its flash memory. You can even adjust the volume with the knobs.

Easy way to add more audiotracks??? + Environment midi/audio question???

Hi!
Let's say, when I open a new project I have standard 24 audio tracks.
But when recording I see that I will need more, is there an easy and fast way to add more tracks?
As I see it now, I Have to run the Logic Setup Assistent, add more tracks (let's say 40). Reopen the project, go in the environment, create a new audio object for every track I want to add, double click it and assign the correct track to 'channel'. If I need to add 10 more tracks I have to go over these last steps 10 times. Am I missing some handy quick trick here?
Also, the second part of my question:
when I open the environment window, sometimes it only shows "midi" and the "GS instrument drum mapped" and some other times it shows "audio" and an "overview of my mixer". This seems to happen at random and I don't know why. The mixer view is what I want (especially when I need to add tracks as mentioned before), but when I get the midi view I don't know what to do to get the audio/mixer view. Any help?

Ok,
There is a way so you wont have to do the 10 setups.
Run the Setup Assistant and when it asks how many
audio tracks you want, always tell it more than you
will possibly need. I use 101. I know I will probably
never use that many but they are already and waiting
in case I do need more. This way you dont have to do
anything except go to the track menu and select create
new or double click the arear below the last
track and what ever track is highlighted, a exact duplicate
will appear. Then you just click and hold on it to make it
whatever kind of track you need from the menu that appears.
This first answer takes care of the second question. Since you
dont need to go into the enviroment to hook up new tracks.
Just so you know if you click and hold on the name of the layer
Midi, instruments, clicks and ports or whatever another menu
will appear letting you choose what layer you want to go to.
This is the easy way!
