Audio/in and out of phase

I'm using a Audio Technica AT815ST stereo shotgun mic. It can be used in 3 modes MS, Stereo Narrow, and Stereo Wide. When capturing audio shot in MS mode into FCP the mid capsule comes in on audio track 1 and the side comes in combined, unmatrixed, on audio track 2. I've been told by Audio Technica that I need to copy track 2, put in on track 3, and then invert the phase of track 3. This then allows me to pan track 2 left and track 3 right giving me matrixed stereo. My question is: How do I invert the phase of the copied audio on track 3 in Final Cut Pro?

I don't believe FCP has an audio filter to invert the phase of a clip. You can probably do it with Soundtrack Pro. See the Soundtrack Pro Manual, Page 163

Sample rate off the audio input and out devices do not match - what to do?

This is fundamental, I know, but nevertheless I can't find my way around it. I get this error message when trying to recor:
Sample rate off the audio input and out devices do not match
and am asked to do this:
Use the appropriate operating system or audio device control panel to adjust the sample rates of the input and output devices to use the same settingt.
I have defined the sample rate to 44.1/16 bit in accordance with my inbuild soundcardt.
I am trying to record from LineIn.
When running on a M-Audio sound card I don't face any problems.
HP 8560W, sound card IDT/High definition audio Codec
Any suggestions?

You're sure you have set BOTH the input and output settings to 44.1 16 bit?
Which version of Windows are you running? There are a number of posts on this forum about how to fully access both the Windows Mixer and the Mixer for your soundcard. Especially, you need to ensure that all "Windows Sounds" are turned OFF.

Todays update! After todays update I can no longer send Safari or Spotify to the task bar without it cutting out (dropping audio in and out). Streams normally if I keep the window open on my desktop. This needs to be fixed immediately.

Nevermind. I figured it out.

Fade audio in and out throughout a clip

Is thre any way to fade audio in and out throughout a clip, so say for example I want to fade it back just when someone is talking etc? it used to be so easy in previous imovies!

Audio in iMovie 09 is a pain. In order to do this, you have 2 choices...
1. Your clip must have a video fade effect of some kind then go into precision editor, select to see audio from the waveform button near the middle right of the screen and then slide the audio (without effecting picture) either earlier or later.
2. You can Split your clip in multiple places, lets say 6. Then double click on each of them in turn, moving the audio level lower and lower until you get to the part of the split clip that will be zero. In order no to have the edit point sound cut, either set the auto fade to be manual/zero, or go into precision editor and overlap the audio edit points slightly.

Audio IN and OUT messed up - how to diagnose??

I've got a weird issue and wondering if anyone can help. I have a Mac Pro and yesterday got a good mic and a pre-amp for my son to do some recording on GarageBand. I also installed the CuBase software that came with the pre-amp. The audio in and out is very erratic. Sometimes it will record, and sometimes not. And it will not playback properly (yes, I double-checked my Output/Input settings in System Preferences).
The same problem is happening on the CuBase software (which is GarageBand on steroids).
HOWEVER, when I fire up iTunes, all my existing MP3s come out of the speakers (line out) and headphone jack just fine.
Anyone know if there are potential conflicts between the system and audio editing software? Or perhaps it's the sound chip on the motherboard?
Related question: Can you add a sound card to a Mac Pro? I know the chip is soldered to the motherboard, but wondering if I can bypass that by adding a sound card?
Thanks for any help.

I haven't spent much time with Garage Band and I haven't used Cubase since OS9..
But there may be settings right in the DAW software that sets the default ins/outs as opposed to having your system settings control where the audio goes..
Another thing to take a look at is Audio MIDI Setup in the Utilities folder. It displays the system sound settings in a bit more detail...
Currently, there might be 1 or 2 PCI-express "sound cards" out there, but your best bet would be to look for a USB or, preferably, a Firewire audio interface. There are many of these out there with a large range in pricing..
If you are getting serious about recording, you may want to look at some of the small format mixers which include a USB or FW output. The advantage of these small mixers is that they are like swiss army knives for audio.. they allow you to route and mix audio in all kinds of ways that you would never imagine until you actually need it.. Some include digital effects, usually some EQ on every channel, from 2-16 mic pres, etc
Another route, again if you are getting more serious, is to get a ProTools LE or M-Powered setup. This way you are getting "Industry Standard" recording software along with a selection of different audio interfaces to choose from depending on your needs..
Apple Logic is also Pro-Level Software for a great price, especially at the current pricing.. You still need an interface, though, to get the most out of it.
Browse around the computer recording section at www.sweetwater.com to get a good idea of what's involved..

Audio in and out

using both audio in and out in late 2009 macbook

cdj connect the input audio for Ableton Live, and audio output for ampificador

Possible to use Audio In and Out simultaneously?

Is there any additional adaptor/gadget that I can purchase so that both the Audio In and Out features of the audio jack can be simultaneously?
For example, so that Audio In can be used to record an external source input while the Audio Out is piped to a headphone to monitor the recording?
Thanks!

Air has a headset jack.
You can use a splitter
Mics should be USB capable for best results, almost all headset mics are junk quality.
then monitoring or listening thru the headphones
consider using a PRO MIC , such as an Audio Technica AT2020 USB

or better still use one of these with pro XLR mics:

New clips automatically fade audio in and out?

When I add a clip from an event to the project there is automatically a fade in and out for the audio which I do not want. I checked under project properties but still couldn't find anything useful to turn this off. Any ideas?

You can select all of your clips (by clicking one and using command A) and then manually chage the fade in and out for all of them at the same time in the inspector. That is how I do it but I do wish that I could find a setting to turn off the fade in and out effect, just the same as you.

Audio In and Out Question (Any iDevice)

How would I get audio from my iPod and loop back in my iPod LIVE as a "Microphone" while hearing it LIVE?
Is there any way with audio cables and such I could accomplish this?
Thanks!

Well I have an app that records my iPod microphone and I want it to record the actual sounds/music the iPod makes.

Airplay dropping audio in and out.

My Airplay speaker keeps dropping the audio, I have a Time Capsule and Airport Express. The speaker works find on other routers. Can someone advise teh best setting to resolve this issue.

Hey los1268,
I'd check out the following document and follow the steps under the "Troubleshooting performance issues with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring" section:
Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215
Within those troubleshooting steps you'll find a section that goes over ensuring that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings if you believe that to be the root of the issue.
Cheers,
David

Fade audio in and out

Hi there.
I have an audio file that I have dragged onto the timeline and set to repeat on fame 1.
However, I want to fade the audio of that particular mp3 on frame 25 as a video plays on that frame - the audio clashes.
I also want to fade the audio back up of the mp3 when the video frame is exited.
Any ideas how this can be done?
Many thanks,
Alex.

Do I have to use the same Audio Output and Input source???

In logic express 7.2.3 I can get everything to work fine except when I want to set my sound output to be different than the input device.
I want the Audio Input to be : "Roland USB device"
I want the Audio Output to be "Built in Output"
This works perfectly in Garage Band but not in LogicExpress 7.
As far as I can tell core audio in Logic only gives you the option to use the same device for input and ouput. This makes it impossible for me to record guitar or bass parts in Logic because in order to hear anything in Logic I have to set my systems sounds prefs to use my USB device for both Audio In and Out. This means the guitar is playing through my speakers regardless if LE7 is running or not... and when it is running I hear the guitar at speaker level which means I can't hear it at mix level or any of the effects that may be applied to it.
Help please!
macbook pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Thanks... I did that but and it works (sort of ) but now there is a HUGE amount of latency. The audio also starts to crackle after a while. I know this input device is a few years old and the latency could be better but it works completely fine with Garage Band so I'm not sure what to do.

USB audio out of phase

I'm having a strange problem with the USB audio output of my PowerBook. The left and right channels are out of phase, both on my USB speakers and my USB headset. The analog output from the headphone jack is fine.
The problem seems to have arisen some time around my 10.4.9 or 10.4.10 upgrade, although I can't be sure that it's related. It's still happening in 10.4.11. I suspected something strange when Skype stopped working with my headset, but it took me a lot of thinking and a tone generator to determine what the problem was. Now I'm just about positive that all USB audio output is phase reversed between left and right.
Has anyone heard of this? I couldn't find anything in the forums. Thanks for any help you can provide.

You may need to verify the Hd & Repair from another volume, HD, Mac, or Install CD/DVD if necessary.
Then Repair Permissions... trouble is if you don't do this step before & after every update, you can't be assured of every file in the update/upgrade being replaced/updated, it may require reapplying a big Combo update afterwards, or even an Archive & Install after everything is fixed otherwise, personally, I use Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

Major Bug in Digi Core Audio Driver? Audio Out of Phase in Logic!

In Logic 8.02 did the following;
Using a positive only impulse (only up then decays) I did a loop back test with the both the ADAT port and the analog I/O and both are recorded out out of phase.
Did the same tests in Logic using another Audio device with it's core drivers and all wall well - no phase issues here.
Anyone else find this?

This is TERRIBLE! I have spent so much time working on this project, and I really don't want to adjust the speed settings to the preset levels, BECAUSE I need to motion of the video to match certain musical points. I can't re-film my video, and I needed this project done TODAY. I made a music video with some kids at summer camp, and today is the last day- the day we were supposed to all watch it together, and now, I've got NOTHING!!!! (Because I can't export it without all those glitches!)
I am MAJORLY DISAPPOINTED on this one. I've made movies in windows movie maker before, and purposely used imovie, because you know, everything on macs is supposed to be better. Well, I guess I was wrong.

Why is it every time I watch a movie or tv show on iTunes the pixels slow down and the audio goes in and out? But when I watch it on my iPad with iCloud it works perfectly?

My Question describes what I would initially say here.
All of the content is downloaded on my 2013 Windows HP in iTunes. Before last year I never had this problem but now all of a sudden the picture and audio will stop. The annoying part is that the video will continue playing but the audio will go out and/or vise versa.

Try resetting the SMC before you take it in.
