Audio inputs.. please help

I do a lot of live recording with Logic Express and one of the major reasons I bought it was that it could handle up to 12 audio inputs. im using a firewire mixer and whenever I try to arm more than 9 tracks they disarm themselves. Is there a setting I can use to change this?

Hi,
You fail to mention what audio interface you are using.
Some allow you to selectively activate and de-activate channels.
Also, try to figure out which channels are 9-10 and 11-12. If they are digital channels, and you do NOT have your word clocking set up right, this might be why it is behaving like this. When a clocking issue appears on some hardware, rather than giving you a "please fix it" message, you get the reset all inputs thing.
Cheers

Please help!

This is really a reply to everyone on this thread.
Thanks for all your comments and input, I now have something extra to add.
I've had further discussions with the Apple techs, who read through a report I sent them, and this thread, which revealed that only tracks purchased in Tiger via iTunes escaped the sound issue (see above).
I carried out a few more tests while in discussion with them, but to no avail. Their recommendation is scrub the disc, and install a completely new system. I'm not looking forward to that, but at least I have the benefit of two hard discs in my 'mac running independently, so I'll use one of those.
I've been further advised by an IT friend that the problem might be caused by another piece of software being present on the machine that has an effect on Quicktime, even while it is not active. He said that that is a nightmare to track down, installing one item of software after another in an attempt to make the fault reappear - or not, of course.
It seems that if this does not fix the problem, there might be a fault with the 'mac itself. First things first though, scrub the disc. Unless anyone can suggest anything else?
Daniel, you suggest cleaning the cache. I don't really understand caches at all, so if you could give me a short idiot's guide to what these are, and what you might feel the benefit would be, I'd very much appreciate it. Will it do anything else to my system?

Apple TV - audio support - ******** PLEASE HELP

Please help!
I am considering to buy an APPLE TV but I don't want to waste the money if it won't work with my system. I desperately need some guidance:
I have an extensive library of music on my Win XP computer. The library is all in MP3 format (encoded at rates 192-256K). I encoded all of these over the years from CD's (I have tossed the CD's after I ripped them). So now I have this extensive (1000+ song) library. Well, I would like to play them on my home audio system (and not my computer which has s6%%& speakers).
I have an NAD receiver which has an optical digital audio input. The ATV has an optical digital audio output. My aim was to download (actually download to the ATV HD, not wirelessly stream from my computer as this requires my computer to be always on. I am a securities trader and my computer is too busy on other aps).
In order to view the library of music (all MP3 songs) I would connect the HDMI (or component) to my LCD TV which has all of these connection inputs.
A few questions (please):
1) Is it possible for me to DOWNLOAD all of my MP3 songs from my computer to the ATV?
2) If the above is possible, would I be required to "convert" my MP3 library into the iTunes format for playback or could I just play the audio file in the MP3 format?
3) If I am forced to convert from MP3 to itunes format won't there be some loss of audio quality in the sound caused by re-encoding process?
4) Is the digital audio optical connection going to produce good sound (I have a great NAD AV receiver and speaker system that has great DVD and CD sound playback)?
5) All I want to do is to have good sound from an easy to read library. I don't want to be forced into using iTunes proprietary control format (believe me, Apple is banking on controlling the music industry this way. I served on the legal review of this some years ago). I looked at using the Sony PS3 as a device to accomplish my objectives. However, I am concerned that the sound card on the Sony PS3 may be inferior to the ATV sound card.
I really don't care about downloading videos, playing back photos, or ordering items from the iTunes store. I just want to get good quality sound playback and I want to know if the ATV is the best device for this?
Desperate for anyone's expert advice.
Thank you so much for answering.

Why on earth did you throw away the CDs ???
Real shame as you've now lost the original quality songs.
A few questions (please):
1) Is it possible for me to DOWNLOAD all of my MP3 songs from my computer to the ATV?
If the MP3s are less than 32GB total tehy'd fit on a 40GB AppleTV (It has 32GB of usable space).
2) If the above is possible, would I be required to "convert" my MP3 library into the iTunes format for playback or could I just play the audio file in the MP3 format?
Highly unlikely - I've had some MP3s that don't play on some devices due to experimental encoding strategies but you should be fine.
3) If I am forced to convert from MP3 to itunes format won't there be some loss of audio quality in the sound caused by re-encoding process?
Converting lossy format to lossy format will always lose quality - whether or not it's perceptible is another issue. I doubt you'd have to though.
4) Is the digital audio optical connection going to produce good sound (I have a great NAD AV receiver and speaker system that has great DVD and CD sound playback)?
As good as the quality of your MP3s,
5) All I want to do is to have good sound from an easy to read library.
A 40Gb AppleTV is worth the money for that alone IMO.
I don't want to be forced into using iTunes proprietary control format (believe me, Apple is banking on controlling the music industry this way. I served on the legal review of this some years ago). I looked at using the Sony PS3 as a device to accomplish my objectives. However, I am concerned that the sound card on the Sony PS3 may be inferior to the ATV sound card.
The sound card is irrelevant if outputting digitally, but the quality of the software/hardware decoder for MP3 might be relevant. In practice i doubt you'd have a problem.
MP3s, WAVs etc will be converted to PCM audio for playback via optical from AppleTV - will the NAD accept this? - I'd be surprised if it didn't.
One real pain with the PS3 is that only one audio out is active at a time so you end up swapping settings all the time.
I really don't care about downloading videos, playing back photos, or ordering items from the iTunes store. I just want to get good quality sound playback and I want to know if the ATV is the best device for this?
It's an excellent device for this, but I doubt it's the best if you had money to burn on audiophile media center solutions...

No Audio output please help!!!

I have a Toshiba Satellite A205S4617 Vista and audio wont come out of the speakers. I have tried:
1. Reinstalling audio driver from the Toshiba website
2. Updating all drivers from Control Panel - Sound - Device Menus (said everything was up to date but when I went to sound to do a test it said it failed)
3. System Restore (but it didn't give me an option to go back to yesterday when the audio was working, any idea how to get it to do that? )
4. Reboot F2,F9,F10 config restore
Any more ideas please help!!! thanks.

Satellite A205-S4617
Time to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. If the sound doesn't work then, you have a hardware malfunction.

FCP or Compressor Audio Problem - Please Help!

Please Help!
I have completed my wedding project in Final Cut and it includes 4 extra stereo tracks (music etc) on the Final Cut Time line, therefore 5 stereo tracks in total. Music was just imported into the browser and then placed according in the time line.
When I export the whole project to Compressor, the video compresses fine into the DVD best quality format but the audio compressor has only compressed a SEGMENT of the FIRST stereo tracks?!
Totally Bizarre.. My client is waiting for the DVD and I’m at total loss!!
Desperate workaround (but want to avoid) If I have too i tried rendering the whole movie to a QT movie, then importing that into DVD Studio and just using the audio from that (which is ok) in my DVD project! But I don’t want to do this as I have not properly compressed the audio along with the video in the DVD best settings preset in compressor.

No I don't think so.. I use Switch to convert the .whatever files into .aff compliant files. Something has obviously go a miss somewhere during my edit, I just cannot think where. I did ask before if there was anyway to check for compression markers as the orginal problem seemed to be rendering just only a section of the audio. I did a clear markers control+' which clears markers on the timeline but not sure where that leaves compression markers. As I imply, I didnt deliberately saet any compression markers but maybe some crept in there?
Also I found it odd why SP pro originally came up with just "Error" when I tried to export the project to it? I tried a fresh sequence with a small amout of video on it and it exported fine into Soundtrack Pro (SP).
Additional question: What is the purpose for the mix down in the Sequence settings then? I seemed to do the trick for me? Should I include this in my work-flow because it is not always necessary to use Soundtrack Pro just for laying down a music bed?
Thanks

Upgraded to Windows 8.1 & now I have no audio. Please help!

I have reviewed similar posts & followed links to download driver's, but nothing has solved my problem. Even doing a restore to 3 days ago does not bring my audio back. Audio was completely fine until I installed 8.1 windows.....
A big red X where the volume is in bottom right corner of my system tray, click it and i have an error message (INTEL DISPLAY AUDIO HAS A DRIVER PROBLEM)
I have a MSI GT70 and even re-installing the audio driver from their website, produced this:

Please help!!!

"No Audio Devices Are Installed" is what I see when I click Sounds, etc.... so everything is wiped out???? Please someone provide me a link how to reinstall

Audio question please help

I will apologize in advance for my lack of knowledge of my new iMac. I have had it for about 3 months and I cant seem to get any audio from my mixer to come out. I have Klipsch 2.1 sound running out which does work well but I cant get the audio in from my mixer(Behringer DJX 700) to come through. I am sure its something simple but I cant find anywhere that tells me how to do this. I had it running through my Dell in to the sound card and it was fine but the Dell has all but died and I cant record anything anymore. Someone please help a newbie out!! thanks!

Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Behringer DJX 700
Check with the vendor site to make sure their software/hardware is Mac OS X compatible.
Considering it worked with your Dell it's obviously Windows compatible but may not be Mac. I hope that's not the case for you.

Strange audio problem please help!

Hi, I was recording audio with Logic and a usb audio interface (m-audio). Then, I unplugged the usb cable and I selected to use core audio. I closed Logic. I noticed that the volume controls (up and down) are no longer available and inside sys pref. there's optical out selected (the only available). There's also a red light coming from the port (I'm assuming is the optical out). If I plug in the hearphones everything works fine. What can I do in order to have audio played from speakers again?
Please help!

Update: I followed some instructions I found on a blog and I managed to solve the problem. I inserted a paperclip inside the jack output port and I pushed it for a while. Suddenly, inside sys pref. the output changed from "optical out" to integrated output. It's very strange, anyway I think it's a good idea to go to my Apple Store to check if the soundcard has some problems... The MacBook is still under warranty so...
Any comment would be appreciated, bye!

Poor audio quality - PLEASE HELP!

So i recently purchased the Satellite C55T-A5306 and the sounds quality from the laptop itself is really low quality. So to try and enhance the sound, i bought Logitech Z130 Stereo Speakers and it STILL sounds dry and muddy. I plugged the speakers into my iPod and the sound was drastically improved, but when they're in my laptop it sounds flat. I don't know how to make the audio sound better through my speakers. Please help!
I was thinking that if i bought an HDTV and used that as an external monitor and got speakers for my TV, it would sound better and add texture, but i'm unsure if the audio quality would still be dry from the laptop.

Check and see if it you need to update your audio drivers and check their settings. You can check this out via the device manager in control panel. I'm not familiar with this specific model but with mine if you plug in a headphone jack it will bring up the dolby/reltek audio manager. See what kind of quality it's on and whether or not you can put it on stereo, then check your EQ's, bass, that kind of thing. Try having a CD or something going while you do it so you can hear the differences and set it to your liking. If it doesn't come up with the manager try typing in either audio or sound into your start menu's search bar and see what it gives you.
Best of luck!

now I need to populate these values thrugh Operation binding in my managed bean class. I have also dragged these parameters and operation on my jsf page to get hold of those in my managed bean context. I am having following code in my managed bean to set these parameters.
BindingContainer bindings = BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
OperationBinding storeDocumentBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("StoreDocument");
storeDocumentBinding.getParamsMap().put("docFileType", filetype);
storeDocumentBinding.getParamsMap().put("Content", filecontents);
storeDocumentBinding.getParamsMap().put("indexType", filecontents);
storeDocumentBinding.getParamsMap().put("indexValue", filecontents);
storeDocumentBinding.getParamsMap().put("indexType", filecontents);
storeDocumentBinding.getParamsMap().put("indexValue", filecontents);
storeDocumentBinding.execute();
Here I am facing some issues:
1. The operation is not picking values put from ParamMap(). It is taking values as empty (as in my .jspx page form, I have made it hidden though). It takes value from my jspx page form, which is blank.
2. when I am manually entering values in the .jspx page form, for <indexValue> and <indexType> tags, it is taking only one value (last one) for creating the request.
3. the storeDocument() function is a SOAP based service. How can I check for SOAP response after operationBinding.execute(). I checked for response after execution, it sends an object as result. How to get a SOAP response from it.
I need to fetch few values from the SOAP response and display it on screen.
Please help me out. I am noob in ADF.
regards,
Rajan

Hi Puthanampatti,
I followed the link and did exactly as mentioned. Here is my code
public String downloadDocument(FacesContext context, OutputStream out) throws IOException {
BindingContext bctx = BindingContext.getCurrent();
BindingContainer bindings = bctx.getCurrentBindingsEntry();
OperationBinding retrieveDocumentBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("RetrieveDocument");
DCIteratorBinding attachmentsIterator = (DCIteratorBinding)bindings.get("AttachmentsIterator");
String documentId = attachmentsIterator.getCurrentRow().getAttribute("Seq").toString();
System.out.println(customSoapProvider.getRequest()); // getting null here
AttributeBinding docFileTypeVal = (AttributeBinding)bindings.getControlBinding("docId");
docFileTypeVal.setInputValue(522117);
Object result = retrieveDocumentBinding.execute();
System.out.println(customSoapProvider.getResponse()); //getting null here
but I am getting a null response in the last line.
what am I missing here.
regards,
Rajan

Audio input settings help

I am using a Canon XL-1, and recorded in 4 channel audio with the built in stereo mic on the camera, (channel 1 & 2, it is a stereo mic), and a wireless mic on the subject (channel 3). I know that FireWire can not support more than two audio tracks, but is there a way that I can tell FCE to capture from channel 3 & 4 instead of channels 1 & 2.
I can not find a place anywhere to change the audio input setting in the capture presets or easy setup presets.
Sorry I have to vent a little bit. Feel free to skip the next paragraph since it is irrelevant to the question.
So far I have not been impressed with the intuitiveness of this software. It seems like setting windows are spread out all over the place, sometimes even in different applications (QuickTime?). Also the user manual has all of these parts about standard practices, but very little useful information about the technical functions of the software. I am not afraid of Pro Software but I feel like am using Aldus Freehand again.

The short answer is No.
FCE only allows capture of the first stereo pair.
You could try an analogue dub to another camera to grab the second stereo pair then import to FCE.
I do know that third party applications can do it. I can't recall the names.
Last time I fiddled with iMovie I could hear the four channels. As iMovie uses a muxed format I'm not sure if you can split the audio successfully. IMO, best to leave iMovie alone and capture and work in FCE.

Media pending, audio works, please help.

Suddenly Adobe premier does't show any video any more (in any window of the project layout).
All clips are linked correctly and are verified by the project windows - all audio of the clips plays correctly.
This happened after (several manipulations after) it crashed while exporting media containing stacked titles and two simple .tiff pictures (I know it dosn't like stacked pics, so I don't use them much as it always crashes.
Now, the project worked when I removed my still picture stack, so I added them again one-by-one. This time it didn't give a crash message but simply stopped showing ANY video.
I am in a terrible situation now as I have deadlines to meet.
I have reloaded the project, I have tried prevous projects, they all refuse to show any video.
All clips are linked, the time line moves and plays audio, the effect control recognizes all clips.
HELP !! Please.

Thanks for your question:
1. I layer still images for example to have several small pics in different places over the video. That's the most straightforward - in this case, 1 or 2 layers, might work without crashing.
2. I can use png, tiff, jpg, the resut is the same.
3. Situation gets worse with increasing file resolution (size or colour depth).
4. Adding simple FX like cropping (which is the most used FX for still pics) will crash very early. I can can crop stacked video all day with no crashes.
In the current example I was stacking 6 titles of one word, made within Adobe Premier, and making them move around using position and rotate. That worked fine, and then I added two images made of small screen shots of single colour shapes. Everything went ok, even the rendering (which is where often it crashes already). Then the crash I describe above happened when the export encoding was taking place.
Now, before my post I had re-loaded and it still didn't work, and no project would display video media - which is why I panicked - now I reloaded a second time and it works again. But for how long?
Clearly I need to get gto the bottom of this, but how to proceed ?
So far I have not had a crash by using video only - incuding stacked videos.
One thing I noticed which might be a clue is that when trying to import a high resolution picture, Adobe Premier simply gives an error message that the file is to big and unsupported - 'Final Cut' in that situation would ask if it is ok to use a lower resolution and proceed to downsize it.
All of this is daily bread and was so simple and stable with 'Final Cut', I cannot believe that Adobe would have difficuty doing these things - maybe it is an Adobe/Mac thing, but then I have the fast i-Macs (2 of the 27"models with 24GB cache) , Intel chips and all the recommended grahics cards and kit.
Is there perhaps a system configuration using external discs for selected functions which would help? Or is there a configuration that defines cache versus disc, etc?
Thanks to all (and Adobe if you read this) if you can help - can't believe I am the only one.
Best wishes,
marco

TV keeps changing input please help

I have a LCD tv it's about four years old the problem is it keeps changing input by itself and will stop on random ones for a few seconds then continue to scan through again. I removed the batteries from remote and still does it I also unplugged the tv still same problem last I held the power button down for five seconds( I was told this is how you reset tv not sure if true) please gelp

You could attempt to install a firmware update:
