Audio drops during recording

Hi guys,
I'm working on my MacBook Pro 2.4 with Logic Pro 8.0.2 and M-Audio Ozonic FireWire interface (latest driver installed). During recording (just one voice track) over an empty session I notice random audio drops. I tryed to change latency and buffer without success. Same equipment and software on my Mac Pro 2.66 works great.
Last year I worked all the summer with the same MacBook Pro (maybe some osx and software versions earlier) without any problem.
Any good ideas ?
Thanks in advance.
Piero

Turn Airport off first and close all other applications.
Recording one track onto the system drive should not be a problem at all but nevertheless try recording all your Audio onto a fast external FW drive in the future.

Audio drops mid recording and/or playback

I recorded a video on my 3gs phone last night and it isn't that long, maybe 4 minutes in length. I was able to upload to my computer and when I went to play it back the audio drops halfway through. I checked on my iPhone and the audio drops out there as well. Anyone know why or how this happened that when I'm recording something the audio just stopped being recorded while the video was still recording?

Audio dropping from recorded stream during playback

NOTE: I posted this same question on the Adobe Groups FMS
Users page.
I am using Stream.play() on the server side to set up a hub
to switch between live streams and recorded streams. Basically, I
have a live video stream that we want to switch in a recorded
segment (flv) at the end of which we go back to the live stream.
Both the live stream and the recorded stream are at the same data
rate.
I'm following the code samples from:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flashmediaserver/3.0/hpdocs/help.html?content=00000386.html
The problem I'm having is that the audio starts for the
recorded segment but goes silent after the first 2-3 seconds of
audio. This happens every time the clip is played. This clip plays
fine when linked to directly, without being part of the hub system
using Stream.play(). I have tried this with several recorded
segments with the same result.
Has anyone seen this happen before?

Thanks for the suggestion Jody. Would this work in 3.0.3 as I
am not on 3.5 yet? I tried adding this to the fms.ini for 3.0.3 and
nothing changed. It may also be worth noting that I am having the
issue even with only a single user connected.
When the client sends a message to the server to play my
"demo" the server calls the following lines of code:
application.mainStream = Stream.get("foo");
application.mainStream.play("shortDemo", 0, -1, false,
application.myVODConn);
application.mainStream.play("liveEncoderVideo", -1, -1,
false);
This should switch from the currently playing
"liveEncoderVideo" stream to the "shortDemo" and then back.
The myVODConn is getting set up right as I can see the demo
but again the audio just drops out after 2-3 secs. I also tried to
use the AdobeBand sample files and I get the same thing.

No Audio Levels During Recording in CS6

Hi,
is there a way to turn on the audio level monitoring before and during audio recording in premiere cs6 ? In the help file it says the levels would show, but when I try, the levels won't show.
Thx,
Frank

is this a bug ?

Audio Drops in recording

We have a problem with our licsened account. On my last recording there are long periods of dead air. Everyone is using the VOIP for their audio. This seem to be an ongoing problem.

You need to enable "Punch On The Fly".
Click and hold the record button in the transport to find this, and enable it.
And while you're at it, go to key commands, and assign a KC to "Record toggle".

Audio dropping out during playback in timeline

Hey everyone,
I've dug through these forums and unless I just completely overlooked it I have not found a solution to this issue. I've listed my setup below and then have stated the issue I'm experiencing.
27-inch, Mid 2011 iMac
3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
16GB 1333 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6970 1024MB
Running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
Currently working off of a portable 1TB G-Technology G-DRIVE via FW800.
Working in Premiere Pro CS6 Version 6.0.2
Editing in a sequence with settings:
1920 x 1080 23.976fps (also tried in a 29.97fps timeline with same issue)
Working with footage that is 23.98fps
Working with a combination of ProRes 422 (LT) and native H.264 Quicktime files strait from a 5D Mark 3.
The issue I'm having is during playback the audio will competely drop out. The video will continue playing on just fine but the audio drops completely out. All audio levels drop as well in the audio mixer meters so it truly is losing all communication with my audio layers in the timeline.
I read in other forums to go into Finder and delete out the .caf files, re open Premiere Pro, wait for them to be recreated then carry on. I tried this approach with no luck. Deleting the .caf did not change anything. Audio is still dropping out as I try to play through my timeline. The only way to get the audio back is to pause then press play again. I have 5 total channels of audio with only 2 of those channel active.
Any ideas on what is happening would be greatly appreciated. This is incredibly frustrating have to export out a video just to be able to watch it through.

Having this annoying problem also. Using the Space Bar to play timeline it takes pressing and holding to a count of three or trying press play three time in a row using the space bar to get ungarbled audio, or any audio at all in a normal uncomplicated sequence on the timeline.
Really annoying. Audio used to be so simple and untaxing to a sequence.

Monitoring audio during record session

I'm using Soundbooth (CS4) to digitize LP's on my Mac using an Audio Technica AT-LP120 USB turntable.
I'm able to capture the audio in Soundbooth, but I'd like to be able to hear the audio during the recording session.
I can't seem to figure out how to do that. Can someone give me a little coaching please?

There's a button in the middle of the recording dialog box called "Monitor Input during Recording".

Recorded Audio drops off to intermittent nose

This is a desperate plea for help. I have a meeting with one
of our engineers in two hours. My plan was to bring up the
application and record his audio as he steps through the process.
When I tried it this morning I get about a minute into the
recording before the audio drops off into unintelligible noise,
sometimes coming back to a word or two of clear audio and then
dropping away again.
Has anyone encountered this and, if so, what did you do about
it?
Thanks

Hi Frank
I have nothing to offer with regards to Captivate other than
to suggest that it may behoove you to use Sound Forge to record the
audio portion (since it appears to have no trouble there) and later
import the audio Sound Forge created back into Captivate if your
goal is to create a Captivate project using said sound.
Cheers... Rick

Premiere Elements 7: video/audio asynchronous in recorded HDV only in PrEl

I recorded five tapes with PrEl with my HDV camera (Sony HVR-HD1000E, european version) on my harddisk each as one large MPEG-2-file. I edited for hours and found that the audio increasingly did not match video in only one of the large files (about 3 sec. max; although the others are the same kind: HDV MPEG 1080i 25fps 48kHz) in preview, timeline and export.
I tried:
Playback with VLC/Media Player Classic and Womble MPEG Video Wizard is okay in every test case until the end of the video file.
opened the file in a new HDV 1080i project but the same
re-record: First it seemed to be okay, but today I found it's the same again. No frame drops reported (option "report frame drops", translated from german, was active), too.
I tried to demux with ProjectX and PVAstrumento ("No System Header found"). Both programs canceled with errors. Squared 5 MPEG Streamclip says "warning: 8 data breaks"). Again successful demuxed with ProjectX says (translated german): "first video PTS starting later than last PTS in stream! Critical for synchronicity ... 11 frame(s) (264ms) added".
used MPEG2Repair: even worse results
re-record with HDVSplit: aborts every time at different timecodes because of frame drops
re-record with VLC (and conversion from m2t with MPEG Streamclip later to MPEG), same result: asynchronous only in PrEl
In the clip properties in PrEl audio source is "compressed" but audio project setting is "32-bit floating-point".
But I cannot change this (can I?). May be that's the problem?
I had several crashes during record: Visual C+ Runtime Error, suddenly began to play fast forward etc. but the
video files I use now had no interruptions.
Perhaps I should use another hardware to record, copy the miniDV tape ... But I've got no other hardware and my time is running away. Spend one day and a half on this.
Any ideas why only one file is asynchronous and only in PrEl?
Thanks.

Thanks again for your fast help!
Yes, I used PrEl over FireWire to capture. (Later I tested HDVSplit and VLC as described.)
My project is a HDV-project. There are no red lines above HDV-clips. But I use DV wide files in this project, too. They naturally got red lines but they are totally fine and all other HDV clips - except for this one tape I captured.
I think the Adobe KB article, thanks for that, is no use for me, because I had C++ Runtime Errors during capturing. I had no problems installing PrEl like this article describes. Or should I reinstall?
I used MediaInfo to look into the specs of the file: "MPEG Audio 384 Kbps 2 channels, 48.0 KHz". G-SPOT unfortunately does not show up with any video or audio info except for: "File Type: MPEG-2 Transport Stream, Mime Type: video/mp2t". Sure it is compressed, isn't it? That's what Premiere is recording.
I tried to open the audio of my MPEG in Audacity. But Audacity says it will last 1193046:21:06 hours. Too long for me. My file is about more than 11 GB. I guess Audacity will abort with a memory error as memory is increasing usage on and on. I had this problem before. But perhaps not ... I will test it.
Can I demux my MPEG and mux it again with uncompressed audio? (I don't think so.) I need the whole file in one because I already cut many clips out of the whole file and cannot sync every little clip with a part of a wav-file again.
Why is it that only one of five files got this problems? The others got the same audio type as MediaInfo says.
For anyone who wonders: OOS is "out of sync".

Turning OFF Audio Playback during capture?

When capturing a tape from my video camera in Premiere Pro, How do I turn off the audio playback while recording?
I want to record the audio and the video, but I don't want to hear the tape's audio playing back through my computer speakers while recording. The technician I spoke to over the phone was extremely unhelpful and suggested I simply mute my computer speakers if I don't want to hear it. What if I want to listen to music or am trying to watch another video file in a different program without having to hear the premiere pro audio blaring over it. Please someone tell me the rude technician I spoke to did not understand clearly what I was asking and if anyone knows how to accomplish this or can shed anymore light on the topic.
I just spent 40 minutes on the phone with an adobe tech support rep who took 40 minutes to correctly understand the issue I was calling for and then informed me that the functionality does not exist within the premiere pro software. Sorry if this comes off as a little edgy, but my tech "support" call was extremely frustrating and now to find that premiere pro wont let you listen to anything in any other program while recording seems a little rediculous.
Thanks,

It is risky to run other applications while capturing footage. May lead to dropped frames. I have found that Premiere is a resource hog and more likely to have this problem than other capture programs. Not that Premiere is a bad program for capture, but you might find an alternative that provides a better solution for your specific need.
It has been a few years since using Scenalyzer, but I always found that program to be extremely reliable and flexible. And it has the capability of silencing the audio during capture. Since you didn't say what format you are capturing I can't say whether Scenalyzer will work for you. Check it out.
I don't think Harm was being condesending at all. He is simply warning you about the potential problems your system may face by attempting to multi-task in the manner you describe. It's up to you to decide if you want to follow the advice you seek here.
Good luck

FCP X Audio Drop-Out or Audio Gap on Timeline.

Hello fellow FCPX-ers.
I am posting this thread on a few forums as I have encountered a very weird issue taking place.
Trying to figure out if the issue I am encountering is a bug/glitch or a technical issue.
This has consistently occurred in three different projects now all shot at different times. The audio has been fine on the camera during the recording process and has been fine in it’s RAW NATIVE SOURCE.
THE ISSUE
For some reason my audio keeps dropping out on my timeline and it is creating audio skips/clicks making it impossible to export proper audio or fix the gaps on the timeline.
Screenshots are attached to this thread for a visualization example.
I have followed the process and finished troubleshooting with it all the way to FCP X.
Thus, I am able to pinpoint that whatever is going on is a FCP X issue
The audio is fine until it reaches the FCP X timeline.
I have tested the RAW FILE in VLC player and there is no audio drop-outs
I have also tested the video file in Sony Vegas Video and the audio is fine.
The Digital Workflow:
It start’s off as a .M2T file which is then run through Clipwrap 2.6.4 as a (rewrap as source format) and then eventually makes it into FCP X and is placed on the appropriate timeline.
I have had this same error for three different projects now. It has occurred both when using the NATIVE VIDEO FORMAT and when trying to use the (rewrap 1920 x 1080 format)
Thanks in advance for your time and help.
reggie-

You don't say what your audio settings are for Clipwrap. If you're exporting mp3/AAC or other player format, then FCPX is probably having problems dealing with those formats.
You might try selecting your audio (or related video) tracks and rendering (Control-R) and see if that fixes the dropouts. You can also try selecting the clips in the Event Browser, right-clicking and selecting Transcode from the popup (if the options are available.)
The "native" FCPX audio format is WAV( ! ) AIF/AIFF and CAF will work just as well. The transcode options should be PCM (or LPCM,) 24 bits/sample and 48kHz sample rate (or "better" - but the sample rate should match your project settings.) If you have control over these options in Clipwrap, you should set them accordingly.

Midi latency problems during record/playback

I am starting to use Garageband for midi recording--I am going through an M-Audio Audiophile interface by firewire--when I preview the software instruments everything is fine but when I record then the recorded notes are dropping out or delayed during record and playback--how can I solve thhis problem?
I have already followed the Garageband help suggestions for settings
I would welcome any help!

Do they have the same interface as you? I get very little latency on my iBook G4 and I am using usb 2.
Before getting my external drive I had been recording successfully on my iBook's hardrive. Besides eating up hardrive space I had no problems. Much of what I do uses GB's excellent software instruments and MIDI.
Software instruments are strenuous on the cpu and ram. What is your ram situation?
I also lock tracks as I go along, especially with software instruments. Avoid using effects during the recording stage, add the effects afterwards.

Adding "sound drops" while recording my podcast

Hello! I am recording a podcast using Audition CS6, and I want to basically play sound drops during the show. How do I do this? Is there something within Audition that will add sound during a recording, or do I use another program to accomplish that?
Thanks for any help.

By "sound drops" do you mean things like sound effects and musical stings? If so, Audition is primarily a post production tool so it'd be dead easy to do this while editing and mixing but not really possible live within Audition. I know there are specific podcasting tools that allow this but it's not something I do so I can't recommend any.
....or, a trick I've used quite often, there are various programmes that allow you to instant random playback from either another computer or from a smart phone. If your audio interface can handle this, do it like this works very well and makes you feel almost like a broadcast studio.

HELP! Audio Drops Out When Trying to Capture Canon XL2 Footage

Please help me out here. I'm a freelance camera operator w/ a Canon XL2 and several times now I've gotten calls from the editors saying they're having problems logging my footage, mainly the audio drops out quite a bit, and I'm not talking bout one second for every 2 or 3 minutes. No. It's like every 10 seconds the audio drops in and out.
What's the deal? Two times the guy was using a Panasonic DVX-100A to capture, another time it was a SONY DSR mini-DV deck. With each incident I had to go over with my XL2 and use it as the capture device, which is a pain.
The program they're using is FCP HD or 5. But I think even when they just play the tape in their Sony or Pany cameras, the audio may still suck.
Help me out here, I can't be the only one with this problem.
Thanks.

Well Robert Swanson, I hope my post wasn't taken offensively, it certainly wasn't meant as such. The only Canon camcorder I owned was the GL1. After switching to Sony's I can honestly say it would take something significant to go back. And, I was merely relating my experiences in trying to capture from other Canon camcorders so that I know where you are coming from. However, I am interested in the HVX being the "noisest" camera on the market. I am seriously considering this camera and would be interested in a review that points this out. I would be using the hard drive recorder instead of P2 cards.

Prevent audio drop at chapter 99

How do I prevent the skipping , or audio drop in a slidshow, at the point where Chapter 99 slide transitions to the next slide or Chapter 1,
which only occurs during DVD disc burn. It does not appear in the preview in I photo, or the preview in IDVD.
Thank you

There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie 6 as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:
