Assemble second system audio

We are recording multiple audio tracks in the field with Metacorder which is getting timecode from camera. The editor(s) can import these poly BWav files no problem. They unfortunately don't/won't sync them up and make a merged clips before editing shows. It was suggested that we could use 'reconnect' to swap camera audio with field audio. This doesn't work really. FCP DOES swap the audio but only with the first two channels (there are often 8 channels in our field sound). However, it does not do anything which will help in any way shape or form for audio post to reference the Field audio files. it does not even change the file name in the sequence. Even if it was useful, someone would have to go to every edit and swap with field audio. There should be an elegant and easy way to do this!
Does anyone know of a way to replace camera audio with field sound within a FCP sequence that works (yes the audio and video have matching timecode)??
FCP does NOT pass source TC of the audio files in the OMF. Does anyone know of a third party app that fixes this?
Ever since FCP 6, our systems will no longer export EDLs. You select it and it does exactly nothing. Any word on this?
Why am I not getting the option for the OMF to reference files? The OMF export process bypasses any and all options now.

something's hinky with you system
I can export edl no problem.
to really get a clean omf export check out automatic duck FCP export
http://www.automaticduck.com/products/pefcp/
the omf will not export the video part of the media like an avid product
haven't tried importing any bwf lately there was an issue with drop frame code I believe. any second system connecting I've done in FCP was all manual. get the in from the clip copy to the import audio, get the out copy to the imported audio, drop it in the timeline and test for phase

Second System Audio

Okay, so I edited my movie using the camera audio. But we actually shot second system audio along with the camera audio (ran the mic to both the camera and a hard drive audio recorder). The video is locked. No more video editing. Unfortunately, I didn't have the second system audio in my hands before video editing needed to get started.
So, does anyone know of some simplified, not horribly time-consuming, method for replacing the camera audio with the second system audio? And, of course, keeping it in sync.

FYI, it wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be or people made it sound. Whole process took me 3 hours and a chunk of that was spent trying to figure out which track was from the second system audio vs the camera audio. Once the clips were merged, there wasn't really a way to tell just by looking at them. Another chunk was spent putting in some room tone and tweaking things.
I just merged the audio to the video. Put it in a garbage sequence. Set my in and out points to match the original edit. Copied over the new audio track to where the old had been. Boom. Done. FCP even knew if I messed it up and the new audio was out of sync with the video and displayed the + or - # of frames.
As for bad planning, it wasn't. The camera doesn't do time code. Period. There was no option to have any and it wasn't needed. The only thing I suppose we could have planned better was not having our audio guy suddenly having to go to the mideast for 3 months. Then we would've merged the audio and video up front. Probably would've been zero time savings when you consider that you'd merge takes you wouldn't ultimately use.
Just thought I'd put it out there for anyone else who may need to know.

First four seconds of audio missing when exporting project as MPEG2

Hello all-
When I export my project from FCP (using version 6.0.6) using Compressor's (v. 3.0.5) MPEG2 Program Stream setting, everything works fine except for one slight problem: the first four seconds of audio are missing. I've looked back over my timeline (NTSC-DV with 4 tracks of 48khz 16bit audio), everything is fine, and the audio exported just fine using the H.264 codec. I've tried everything I can think of. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much,
Brett

Well I REALLY need some help with this one! I have tried so many different 'work arounds' without success. As mentioned in my first post the audio is not sync'ing with the video when exported. I have tried Exporting the file in QuickTime, I have tried using Compressor again exporting just the video then the audio - pulling it into a new session and lining it up again but everytime I pull it the newly exported file into a new project and render it FCP crashes not allowing it to render (nice!). I actually started from square one capturing the video footage again and assemble the project again without luck. I simply cannot believe what a pain in the arse this is!! I need to get this project done and it simply won't do it.
Where are my blood pressure pills????

Premiere CC render causes system audio to fail/skip/choppy

Hello,
When I link media, render, or import media into Premiere CC 2014 my system audio (iTunes and Google Play) immediately artifacts and is choppy, skips, and sometimes becomes muted for a few seconds.
Again, it only occurs when I'm processing media after it was offline or when I'm rendering a sequence.
Anyone else have this issue?

Yes I considered your "solution" of just upgrading to Adobe CC but on principal I don't want to have to shell out more money to "fix" the problem. I was able to get an Adobe technician to view my screen in real time. He asked me where Prem Pro was after I opened it and my response was "precisely". The only evidence that Prem Pro is open is that there is the taskbar there with what appears to be fully functional drop down tabs but as far as the panels/workspace goes non-existent! He has "escalated" the matter I'll let you know what occurs next. I have tried using the software mode and there is no change. Like you I have wondered about a hardware proplem but I have checked via Disk Utility and there doesn't appear to be any? The CUDA issue well a) I am not sure how I would revert to previous drivers and b) when I re-installed Prem Pro from disc (that's version 6.0.0.) the only render option it gave me was Software only but that was also greyed out. Prem Pro still did not open up as it should!
I'll let you know what transpires.

PLEASE - Need help with system audio files

Hi guys, I'm going to try posting this one last night before throwing my hands up.
I'm having a problem with my MacBook Pro where certain audio, namely in browsers like FireFox or Safari, doesn't output.
YouTube and Google Video stream and display video content correctly, but no audio is output.
System audio such as notifications, as well as iTunes, doesn't seem to be affected.
I tried to follow the steps outlined in another post to check the output Hz setting for my midi device in the Audio MIDI Setup panel. However, this is what my panel looks like:
http://static.flickr.com/48/12917458198120c9319_od.jpg
It's simply blank, with "Output is not supported" displayed where those settings should be.
Any ideas as to the root of this problem? It's almost like I'm missing a .plist file or some other system file, maybe something that got deleted using AppZapper? That's just a wild guess from a recent Mac convert after browsing the forums
Thanks!

First off, it makes total sense that you see "Output is not supported" for you microphone. Change the "Properties For:" drop down to "Built in Output" or whatever output device you are using. You will then see the audio output format and frequencies, but on the left side it will say "Input is not supported"
Second, YouTube and Google Video don't use midi and so the Audio Midi Setup isn't really relevant to your problem at all and you should leave that alone... unless you are you a musician with a midi device setup. Perhaps this is the case, please post if it is. Otherwise you are headed down a blind alley messing with "Audio Midi Setup" to diagnose OR fix your issue.

10.6.2, iShowU 1.75, Soundflower 1.5.1 are not compatible - no system audio

Ever since upgrading to 10.6.2, the system audio features of ishowu no longer function. soundflower works properly but it seems that 10.6.2 does not let other applications switch/utilize soundflower in their apps. I was on a troubleshooting call with ishowu personnel and the problem was narrowed down to the Snow Leopard. All worked well in Leopard and Tiger but now problems. Apple is really going downhill with the launch with many issues.

Thanks. I had tried that previously and its not a soundflower problem. It seems that the new version of Snow Leopard does not provide the switch to allow 3rd party software to communicate with the sound system preferences. This was not a problem with earlier versions of Mac OS and seems to be a bug that was introduced with Snow Leopard. Mac will only survive if it moves forward with max compatibility with 3rd party software producers.

Entire System Audio mutes randomly while working in Premiere

Hi everyone
Just recently switched over to Premiere Pro CS6 at my office. I'm an editor for a web video production company and so far I've been having quite a few problems with Premiere.
The biggest issue is that randomly, maybe 10 times a day, the audio for my entire system will drop out while editing in Premiere. At first I was resorting to doing full restarts of my computer and the problem would fix itself, but now I've discovered that if I go into "Activity Monitor," search for "coreaudiod" and then force restart that activity, the audio will reset itself for the system, but not Premiere. I still have to then restart premiere to get the audio working again in my project.
I've seen other people mention similar issues but I have yet to find a solution. Can anyone help? Thanks so much.
Here are my computer specs:
iMac
27-inch, Mid 2011
Processor 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63b)
Adobe Premiere Pro CS6
v. 6.0.2

I've worked on two projects so far and it's happened both times. The first project was using ProRes source footage and then outside video assets were brought in that were H264.
Now I'm working on a project that is using Canon DSLR H.264 native footage and video assets that are in H264 and a few that are XDCAM EX.
Also using many still images but it seems as though it will happen randomly when I load a video clip into the Source window. The video clip will play with audio in the source monitor, but then when I bring it into the timeline this is when the entire system audio will drop out and mute entirely.

System Audio Capture - Won't Work

Hello all,
I'm trying to capture my system audio and I cannot get Cp8 to do just that. I'm running the most recent version of Cp8 on my MBP OS X 10.9.5. I open a new video demo, with system audio selected, with or without a mic. The mic will capture just fine, no system audio.
I have a request to capture some Skype interview and Tuesday, any help will be great!
Thank you in advance

Hi there,
Have you tried configuring 'Soundflower' audio driver? . Please refer to the below link for more information.

Captivate 7 is not capturing system audio, and the software has a broken link

The Problem:
Captivate 7 is not capturing system audio. When I start a screen recording, the line with "System Audio" and its checkbox are eternally grayed out. Next to the grayed out words is a link that says, "Why is this disabled?"
The lnik goes to: http://www.adobe.com/go/cpaudio
Which is not a valid link, so Adobe's site redirects me to blogs.adoble.com/captivate which is ZERO help. Both browsing and the search bar bring no answers.
The Device:
Apple Macbook Air, Mid 2013, running OSX 10.9.2.
What I've done already:
Obvsiously I have set Captivate 7's preferences to capture system audio, and have set System Settings -> Security and Privacy -> Privacy -> Accessibility to allow Captivate to control my computer.
I have also tried clicking the Mic icon, Selecting Source with the System Audio icon and that doesn't record system audio either. It acts like it is recording system audio, but when I stop recording I get a popup that says, "Cannot record system audio. Ensure that you are playing audio on your computer [Okay]"

It's a wierd one.
One thing to try, and this fixes a lot of things, trash your preferences.

Non-Apple Keyboard: any way to control system audio volume?

I have a non-Apple Keyboard on my new Mini Lion 7.2.1
Is there any way to control system audio volume via the keyboard ?

Well. I can do this. But just because, on my Apple keyboard, there are the keys that do the job. There's a key to mute, and the keys to adjust low and high the sound. But keyboard shortcuts, I don't think exist. The aren't in keyboard shortcut in Keyboard panel, within System Preferences. The bottom line is that isn't a menu item in Finder for lower sound and higher sound. The only option would be an AppleScript that you save as an applet within Scripts menu (activated in Finder via Script Editor) and you invoke with a shortcut... Well, you can do it, if you open the script Set Output Volume in UI Elements Script folder within Scripts folder. Try it out!

Captivate 8 not picking up System Audio

Good morning,
My partner and I are both using Captivate 8. We are trying to use a Lync meeting to capture audio. It works fine on my computer but not on my partners. It seems all her settings are the same as mine. She used to be able to pick up the system audio but it has stopped working for some reason. I have had her re-boot twice. Anything else we should be checking?

Hi Lasers Edge,
It turned out that the problem was not actually in Captivate but in Lync. The Lync setting default was not using the Logitech Headset but something else that Captivate did not pick up as part of system audio. Had to click on the Speaker icon in my tray at the bottom of my window (application agnostic). Then click on Mixer. There are then choices for Speakers, System Audio, Lync, etc.... Only Speakers has a drop-down arrow. Select your headset instead of the HP or Realtech or what ever is there. This should fix the problem.
PS -- For us, why it was working for several weeks and then stopped turned out to be a Blue Jeans Conferencing upgrade. Each member of the team had the issue on different days over a two week span and it turned out to be the same day we updated Blue Jeans. Hope that helps.

Can you record system audio from a video??

I am trying to simply record a video but there is no options for recording system audio, therefore it will not recrod the sound. Is there anyway to do this?

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
You have option of Audio Recording in Adobe Captivate while using Software Simulation or Video Demo (Captivate 6.0)
You can move the Microphone (For Audio Recording) closer to Computer's speaker.
Thanks,

Recording System Audio in Captivate 6

I am running Captivate 6 on Windows 7, but i don't see the option of recording System Audio during capture. Please advise ...

This option only came in with Captivate 6.1 Subscription Edition. It's also in Cp7. If you do not have these versions you won't see it.

Loading 0.5 seconds of audio data into a numerical array

Hi everyone,
I'm new to Java programming, and I'm trying something a little complicated. I wish to use Java to listen to a microphone or line in port and wait for the input signal to reach positive saturation.
When the signal has saturated, I would then like to record the next 0.5 seconds of audio data samples into a numerical array.
Please may somebody explain how I can achieve this, if it is possible.
After that, I know what I want to do with the numerical array and how to do it.
Thank you to everyone who can help.

A simple google with "java audio input" as the arguments will result in host of information for you... this one, the very first one, is possibly one you should pay particular attention to:

Hardware Requirement for Recording System Audio

Hi all. I want to record the system audio using Captivate,
but that function in my PC is disabled. I read all previous topic
regarding this problem and wonder what's the minimum requirement
for sound card or any related hardware to accomplish that need?
Thanks!

Welcome to our community, LyreLu
There used to be an issue with RealTek hardware, but the
developers addressed that with a patch for Captivate 2. Captivate 3
shouldn't need anything special to work with that hardware.
As for system audio, it is my understanding that this issue
is one created by the hardware. You have a couple of options.
1. Obtain a small patch cable and connect it from the Speaker
out to the Mic or Line in line. Then record audio as it plays.
(I've done this with reasonably decent results)
2. Use software that overcomes the issue. One such product is
called FreeCorder. You may visit the download page using the link
