Audio fix for bum recording - faltering mic

I was given a recording that recorded about 3 seconds okay and then the rest of the recording is missing audio on the left side. This cannot be re-recorded, so I've got to make 'as-is' work. Is there anything I can do in garageband to add sound for the left side as well?
I found that I could do it by selecting AUMatrixReverb & tweaking w/ some other settings, but then it's just not as clean. Any other suggestions?
thx, CM

FCPX audio fix for microphone POPs or BOOMs. B's, P's & T's

I'm editing footage, with FCPX, of a man speaking who was wearing a lav mic. I have a moment where he says the word, "intentions" and when he pronounces that first 't' the mic captured a really loud pop from his voice, almost like a booming sound.
Any ideas as to which audio filter I can use to best fix this?
When I try to search the web for help, anytime I try to find 'popping' audio issues the results generally refer to more of a crackling sound than an actual booming POP. And of course any searches for a mic issue reagrding BOOMS, I get results about the kind of boom mic a person holds over an actor to capture audio.
Thank you in advance for any help!

I am with you about the FCC part, I dont see where they would have any response dealing with what device a user has or uses.... That's a new one for me...
Now as for changing devices you can buy any device you want but the only option you have when you are still in a contract is to pay full price for the device because you wont be eligible for the equipment upgrade price.
Now as for the issues you reported about the device I really think that you are blaming the wrong thing for your issues, the issues could be software or even network related but I am more to believe this is a possible software bug not the device.
Hope the replacement resolved your issues.... Good Luck

FIX FOR MIC ISSUE ON X-FI SOUND CA

Ok, the title is a tad misleading, I'm not sure if this works everywhere, or on all sound cards. I just know after about a week of frustration with my brand new $2200 PC, (equipped with a X-Fi Xtreme Audio, big disappointment wishing I went with a Gamer Xtreme now...) I plugged in my lovely headset and mic for gaming, and much to MORE frustration, no mic support on my "non" supporti've "non flexijack" ports on the front of my case, so I moved to the back and still no dice.
So far this card has been a compatibility headache, everywhere from having to unplug the forward sound ports, to spending hours in the middle of the night (bad habits with not being able to enjoy tasks unless finished with my PC issues D=) just driving to find the full drivers for the card!
And still, much like all of you no working mic, ok so now you're shouting for me to get to the point, in my frustration I decided I'd try all the ports on the card to see if that would fix it, and in my fury and climbed behind the PC, headset on volume turned up and mic ready to go (unmuted), tested the pink (PROPER!!!!! Creative -.-) port, to no dice. Moved one jack over, no dice and finally tried the blue sound port on the farthest end of the sound card...
SUCCESS. I heard myself, my heart literally fell into my loins.
Who the heck messed that up? But hey, I don't care. A working mic on my Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio.
So HOPEFULLY there's the fix for it. Move your mic to the blue jack on the back of the card and give it a go. Realistically, what do you have to lose?
Hope I helped!

OK, let's think for a minute that I have a 5. speaker system installed and the microphone connected to the FlexiJack in the X-Fi Xtreme Gamer.
Let's try now to change the FlexiJack configuration so it accepts the microphone as the input source for recording. Oooops, all options for FlexiJack are greyed out.
I've tried every single posibility for recording on the sound (recording) control panel and none of them seems to work (I would change then one by one and the try the windows sound recorder to test if it would work). Although when I tried the microphone works perfect on another computer with a 5. Li've Sound Blaster card.
So, is this an issue with FlexiJack and Xtreme Gamer cards?
I'm a missing some steps?
Kind regards.

need stereo mix in my soundax controls in order to DJ with my new pc...so far I can only find fix for Vista and XP 64 bit which after download has stereo mic option...can you help?
annie

try external USB sound card option, m-audio or creative are a couple off the top of my head you could use. they usually come with a full driver and product suit that can achieve a much better sound than the soundmax in touchsmart have to offer.

Audio Recording, from Mic to computer

Good Peoples,
I thought that plugging a mic into the mini port on the computer would work for using and external mic. I switched from internal to external in under system preferences but nothing is picked up. The internal mic works. Anyone know about this?
Much Thanks,
Jackson

I had a similar problem with an external microphone that didn't need power supply. I checked the source on the sound of the system preferences, and whenever I had the microphone attached, no sound was being input, only sound picked up when I had the internal microphone selected.
This summer for a class project, I thought it was picking up sound while I was recording a movie, using iSight, and when i finished, all i had was the video with no audio. Then I had to re-do the class project.
Did your problem ever get resolved? If so, what did you end up doing to resolve it?

Using Pro Logic X to record. I have several tracks and I'm trying to record an audio track. I have the mic connect to Avalon 737 then into apollo interface. When I record all track are being recorded into that track. I can't just get the audio to record.

Thanks for responding. Everything seems to work right except for the when I plug into the 737. Ok let me see if I can be more clear. I had this set up done with two representatives of Neumann, and DBox. Here it is I hope this helps. 32 Channel snake (24 Inputs 8 outputs) Channels 1-8 from snake to my Octopre for Drums. From Octropre output quarter inch lines into the Apollo 2, quarter inch input. This is so that the Apollo 2 is taking the drum tracks. Snake Channel 9-12 into Apollo 1 channels 1-4 xlr. Snake Channel 13-16 into Apollo 2 Channels 1-4 xlr. Snake Channel 17 into the 737, output of 737 into Channel 5 of the Apollo 1 quarter inch.
Ok The Dbox. Sum output L&R into channel input 7&8 of Apollo 1. Apollo 1 output channels 1-8 into summing input channel 1-8 of Dbox. Apollo 1 main L&R going to main analog input L&R of Dbox. Spid out to DAW input of Dbox. I have both ADAT of both Apollos connected by optical wire. Also have port 2 of Apollo 1 into port 1 of Apollo 2 connected by Firewire. Let me know. Hope I got it right. Thanks for responding.

Mic not connecting for voice recording.

Suddenly mic not connecting to server. I have FP 10.1. 102.64 Windows XP 32 bit and explorer 8.   See link which instructs me to "change" but no response.

Thanks for replying;   Have been away for three days and just now found your
reply.   I'm taking interactive language lessons. A segment of each lesson
asks for a verbal response.   I had no trouble with 25 previous lessons - so
far as recording and playback is concerned. Suddenly, for reason unknown to
me, I cannot do the recording. Sound portions from the instructor are as
usual - no trouble. But when I try to record a reply, I get a message
saying I must allow Flash player to access my mike. There is also the word
change in blue - looks like a hyperlink but I can't succeed in inserting it
as hyperlink here. In addditon it seems to initially respond as if it is a
hyperlink with the prelimininary signal (hand with index finger pointing to
it.) However, nothing further happens. It doesn't connect me to anything.
My problem is that somehow the connect between Flash Player and my mike has
failed and I'm unable to find the fix for it. .

Is there a fix for Mountain Lion audio output settings after the laptop goes to sleep and wakes back up?

Mac Book Pro running Mountain Lion OS X 10.8.5 after the notebook sleeps audio and video does work (for example on YouTube). I have been able to temporarily work around this by toggling the settings on Built-in Output in Audio Midi Setup, Audio window between 2ch-20bit Integer and 2ch-24bit Integer. But this is a temporary fix until the laptop sleeps again.
When it's not working, all system sounds (emails "dings", delete file "swish", etc.) are silenced, and video playbacks on YouTube and elsewhere freeze and have no audio until the Audio Output settings are toggled then they all immediately start working.
Has anyone encountered the same? Have a long term fix for this annoyance?
I cannot upgrade the OS to 10.9 Mavericks yet because of a corporate policy - there is some conflict with 10.9 and our corporate VPN connection.

Toshiba Thrive Tablet Broken Headphone Jack Fix For Audio Line Out

BROKEN HEADPHONE JACK SIMPLE FIX FOR TOSHIBA THRIVE TABLET:
I love my Toshiba Thrive tablet. I take it with me everywhere I go, nearly every day. I also enjoyed connecting the headphone output jack on the side to an external set of speakers. I would enjoy stereo internet, video watching and so on. I recently broke (cracked) the headphone jack on accident. For months, I heard only through the small, factory installed speakers which, is not quite what I'd call 'ideal stereo.' Has anyone else done this? Despite trying to find repair shops locally, no one will touch a tablet it seems for repair or replacement parts. It's not your usual headphone jack. But - I can tell you how to get your sound back!
THE QUICK FIX
While browsing the internet, I found a device that by-passes the headphone jack and instead uses the internal workings of the Thrive tablet's main connection port. This port is located at the base of the unit. It will be covered by a protective, plastic tab that is removeable. Simply pry a little. This long narrow port was designed to allow you to set the entire Thrive tablet into a docking station designed for it. In this docking station are various connection pins that allow the audio to be sent out of the tablet and into the docking station. At the rear of the docking station you'll find a host of connection types: 1) audio out jack/headphone 2) USB 3) HDMI 4) 110v power supply. Simply plug your speakers or headphone cable into the new docking station and you're done! Your audio will work again. I purchased my docking station for $6.00 on Ebay. Oddly, the unit doesn't charge very well if at all while in the docking station but I've read you can simply remove the cover from your Thrive, remove the battery physically for a few minutes, return it to it's rightful place then close the cover and this fixes the problem. It's a strange little glitche. I have yet to try this yet. I did find that if I plug the cord directly into the Thrive right side as designed, it will recharge the battery as usual. I ordered a few of these docking stations which allow me to simply set the pad down depending on where I am and it will continue to charge. The docks do not come with power outlet so you'll need to consider buying additional but it works wonderfully. There are now even wireless docking stations too!

What is the most useful vst/audio-unit for recording bass guitar?

Hey, I'm fairly new to logic and I've been searching for a program that I can use with a bass guitar and get some cool effects going, but I have no idea what they are called I mean something like absynth, but less crazy, more for just recording a standard bass line, with combinations of effects like absynth.
Sorry if i don't make sense!

I'm not entirely sure what you mean (Absynth applies some pretty extreme treatment to audio), but I'd suggest you'd want to use Logic's compressor and EQ for starters. Chorus, flanging or phasing can be useful, although they can muddy the sound, particularly if used in the context of a song arrangement, so careful usage is required.
Reverb and delay are not often applied to bass guitar, unless you're talking about solo work, in which case they may be very effective. There are other Logic plug-ins that will produce more extreme fx, like autofilter, ringshifter, tremelo etc.
And don't forget about the amp simulations and guitar pedal sims if you're on Logic 9 (try these first if you haven't already).
The best thing is to experiment

My audio and video are not syncing properly. There is a lag from the audio to the video. Does anyone have a permanent fix for Photo Booth where the Audio and Video are not syncing properly?

If you monitor the "More Like This" box (top right), other threads appear. Opening them usually displays other threads. You aren't the only one having this problem.

Fix for iTunes and Stuttering Audio Upon Opening Other Programs

This was answered for me in another mega thread, so I thought I would create it's own topic in hopes of helping as many people as possible.
This is a fix for those that have the problem of iTunes 7 working fine alone, but when opening another program such as a game, etc., iTunes 7 begins to stutter and crackle. This fix assumes that otherwise, the program works correctly (gapless, and other issues are not a problem, no blue screens of death, etc.)
First off my machine:
Dell XPS 3.4 ghz Pentium Dual Core
2 Gig RAM
Creative SB X-Fi audio card, latest drivers installed
Observed problem:
Running iTunes 7, audio sounded fine, but opening another program such as UT2004 (first person shooter game) caused iTunes 7 to stutter and crackle.
This was not an issue in iTunes 6.05. I had to upgrade as I just purchased the new Nano.
As an aside, I have another sound card on my computer, an older Layla Echo 24 professional soundcard, drivers are about 3 years old. When selecting this card, this problem does not occur.
The Fix:
Close iTunes 7
Upgrade your sound card drivers (just to eliminate that as an issue)
Upgrade to latest Microsoft direct X version:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=2DA43D38-DB71-4C1B-BC6A -9B6652CD92A3&displaylang=en
Start
Run
Type: dxdiag
Click "sound 1" or similarly named tab
Slide bar to "basic acceleration" (mine was at full, and basic is two clicks to the left)
Exit
Restart iTunes 7, and startup music
Open game, or other program
Your music in iTunes 7 should now be stutter/crackle free
This may not work for everybody, but it worked for me so I thought I would pass this along.
Good luck!

Dell XPS Windows XP Creative SB X-FI Audio Card
Dell XPS Windows XP

i was hopeful, but it didn't work. well teh one thing that i had to do diff was the dx updating, WGA doesn't like to work on my system for some unkown reason (yes it was bought at a store) so i found a way around their WGA check for it (i think) the one i got was labeled as dxwebupdate for august 2006. it updated just fine and it looks like it should be the same one as the newest update release microsoft sent out
my system is a home built one and haven't had probs with itunes with any other version, until this one. i'm tempted to just go back to the newest version 6 i have, cause this is rediculous. i can't do anything without it sputtering away at me. i tryed uninstalling it and removing every trace of its exsistance off of the system (including registry) and that didn't work i made sure all numbers were set to the correct values for my sound blaster audigy gamer, i was using some non oem drivers, but switched over just to make sure witht eh newest ones creative had, and it made zero diff.
i'm wondering if it is an issue it is having with sound blaster cards...
well anyways if anyone else has any ideas i would like to hear them

Is firmware update (G4 Sawtooth audio fix) mandatory for upgrading to OSX?

Ive heard that you have to use the old Mac OS 9.1 to update the G4's firmware before installing OSX tiger. My problem is that ive bought a G4 without any existing operating systems and only have OSX tiger to put on it. I think the firmware is just an audio fix or something,
has anyone updated without it?

Sorry but no. You have to use Classic to update it. Yeah well PC has no need to update firmware becuase they don't use Open Firmware, I think it's a UNIX thing. Not really sure on it, but if you'd like to know you can go to http://www.openfirmware.org
By the way, if you want Classic I can send you a disk that worked for my G4 AGP, I ordered two by accident. It installed in literally 2 minutes. It's extremely easy to install and it's worth it, booting up with new firmware is quicker. Not by much, but with a 450 mhz processor you'll notice the difference!
