Audio popping from mic tap

so i've got a 1 to 2 frame pop coming from the speaker, "accidentally" tapping his lav throughout his speech. is there something i can do? i tried just removing the two frame sections, but i get the same effect only in the opposite direction, i.e. a noticeable "non" sound. any thoughts?

You can use something like an inverted noise gate to limit sudden sharp noises as well as using an equalizer to limit the sound cut off to certain frequencies.
I haven't used Soundtrack Pro much, and don't know what it has available in it for noise reduction. I use Soundsoap Pro as a plugin inside of Peak when I need something like this. What I'd do in that program is isolate one of the thumps, have SSP learn the sound as 'noise' then have it remove just the 'noise'. The problem is, this approach will remove the background music at the same time.
Since you are cutting up the entire clip, how were you intending to deal with the discontinuity in the background sound track? Perhaps in solving that issue you can invent something to fill the quiet space?
Good luck.

Is there an adaptor that can split the audio out from mic input?

I'd like to use the iPhone on a mixer borad for conferencing. I'm looking for an adaptor that will allow me to separate audio (out) from mic (in) on the iPhone. Any ideas?

Will this work for you?

Audio Capture from DV Tape

I've reviewed many posts here about audio capture but, I am unable to figure out what the "trick" is to capturing audio alone with the video using the new iMovie. I'm connected via Firewire and I'm able to view the video in capture mode but, I hear no sound. I've checked iMovie Preferences and System Preferences and everything seems to be OK there.
Is this the way this new version of this program functions? I wish I didn't have to post a msg here because, I'm trying to read the previous post and trying anything that seems to pertain to my issue without the desired results.
Can someone please shed some light on what's going on with this function of this program?

I assume you are wanting to hear the audio as you are importing and not that you have no audio once it is imported.
imovie 08 doesn't play audio while importing. While you are using tape (that imports in real time) imovie now imports from a variety of different types of camera such as AVCHD (which isn't imported at real time. Therefore it is no longer logical to playback audio on import.

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?

Does 10.5.7 fix that Audio Pop from 10.5.6?

Hi,
10.5.6 introduced a audio snap crackle pop to the mix. If you have a MacBook with external speakers, you know what I am talking about. If you have installed 10.5.7, did it fix this problem? It is not mentioned in the release notes. I will find out later this week, but I was curious...
EDIT: I just noticed the older thread someone said it is fixed. I can't confirm this yet, can someone confirm this?
Message was edited by: RacerX

I'm assuming you're talking about the annoying pop that occurs about 30 seconds from the last sound played. No, it doesn't fix it, at least not on my Dec 07 Macbook.

Audio popping from Hard Drive Camcorder Footage

After importing hard drive-camcorder footage into my project, there are loud "popping" noises every 5 to 10 seconds in the audio. If I listen to the raw footage, it's perfect. Is there a setting I'm missing? I've installed the main concept codec add-on already.
Thanks in advance.

Please provide
these details to help us help you.

Sync different audio files from mics and cams

Hey all,
I recently recorded a performance using 2 cams and 2 microphones. Hence, I have 4 audio tracks of the same performance.
Is there any function within Logic Pro X that allows me to quickly sync all these tracks, rather than moving them around until they match?
Thanks!
Z

Export each track as a separate AIFF file.
Open both tracks in AmadeusPro. Copy and paste into a new file with two tracks.
Select one track and use Effects>Change Pitch and Speed. This will provide incremental adjustments till both waveforms match up. But remember, you need to adjust both pitch AND speed together to reproduce a mechanical speed difference.
Once you have both tracks running in sync, use this opportunity to separate your two tracks into four by selecting Sound>Split Track. Now you have 4 separate tracks that are now in sync.
Export each track as AIFF files and reimport back to GarageBand by dragging them onto the GarageBand timeline.

Audio Pop Removal

I've searched this site and others and have found general info in fixing audio pops but can anyone point me to an exact tutorial for removing audio pops from a wireless mic that wasn't working so well?
I did use the Analyze in Soundtrack Pro and Fix All but it didn't fix them.

It was an older mic,not sure of specs but it has been replaced. Is the basic idea to fix pops is to just remove that piece of audio?

How to get audio from a tape recorder into FCE?

Hello All,
I have a older Sony TC-D5 tape recorder (the sound recording is still extremely good and, in fact, much better than any of my digital camcorders at 16bit). My question is: how can I get this into FCE4? The TC-D5 has a left and right RCA audio out plugs. If I plug that into the external mic connection in my intel iMac will FCE4 recognize this as an audio source? Is there some other way I'm not thinking of?
Thanks for your help.
Mike

Hi Ian, Martin and Michael
If I understand you, you'd like to shoot sound with your TC-D5, and Video with your Canon HV20 - Correct?
If so, I suppose you're getting better audio quality with the AKG and Tape set up. Of course you'd be limited to shooting where there's AC Power available and logistics with your set up.
In any event, sure I'd give it a try, but as Ian pointed, be prepared to fiddle and jiggle the sound around on the Audio Track to get it in sync. Tape Speeds are subject to change. There are a few tricks you can use to cue your tape recording to when you start filming; (Ian's Tips)
But there are also other methods, (as Ian Pointed out), probably many dozens to choose from. If you're able to use/barrow a mixer you can still use your AKG. Other methods; Using an overhead boom with a really good shotgun Mic. The approaches are endless.
In regard to strickly narrative, I've settled on a combo of both an Audio Techinca Lapel Mic and an Audio Technica Shotgun Mic. You can hear some of this in my trailer below.
Don't forget Michael, as long as you get 'SOLID' audio with strong peaks and no distortion, with minimum background noise, you can always choose dozens of Post Audio applications, (including FC's plug-ins).
Good to see you both again Martin and Ian!

Audio popping in flv files from Compressor - Help!

I am getting an occasional digital audio pop in the flv videos i am creating in compressor. The audio is coming from digitized Betacam SP master tapes. The audio levels look good and sound fine monitoring the tape, in FCP, and in Quicktime if i export the clip as a Quicktime clip. But when i play back the encoded flv file i hear the offending "pop". The "pops" don't seem to coincide with a peaking audio or video transition. I am stumped! Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Will

Aaah, I wish I could help! I have exactly the same problem! I was going to post about it, but since there's this workaround, I didn't want to take up bandwidth with a problem that was not a total showstopper.
Indeed. I have stopped doing what I used to do before. Before, I used to select "All" in compressor - the files generated were the video, the aiff, and the ac3. Well after burning a few coasters through DVDSP 4.1 where there was picture but no sound, I realized that I needed to drag the aiff file to compressor again, and use that - at that point everything is fine. So, right now, my workflow is to export just the video from FCP through compressor, let it encode. Then export the aiff separately and encode it to a3 in compressor, then import the video and ac3 to DVDSP for good results. In short, no more exporting "All" from FCP through compressor, it's a waste of time.
But as to why, I have no idea, and I'm eager to hear what folks have to say! Anyhow, just letting you know you are not alone. Btw. my set up is: FCP 4.5 HD, compressor 2.1 and DVDSP 4.1.0... what's yours?

Lots of audio pops when recording from mixer

I'm using FCP 5.1.4 on a mac laptop (don't know what type it is, but think it's somewhat recent). I'm recording a stage play's audio.
Here's my audio flow:
Mixer's 1/4" headphone jack -> 1/4" Stereo audio cable -> 1/8" stereo adapter at other end (have also tried 1/8" mono) -> Laptop's microphone port (no other input audio port available)
I can get a good signal, but there's constant audio pops/clicks happening at a steady rate. I remember reading somewhere else that problems can arise when recording directly from a mixer due to the high signal strength coming from it. Any ideas why this is happening? How do I fix this?

Phillip Roh wrote:
What is a mic bus level output?
Most better mixers have direct bus ins and outs. Just like plugging in a mic.
Laptop doesn't have a line in port
Get a different computer if you're expecting to enjoy doing audio capture.
If i used the RCA or XLR output jacks, would the popping still occur?
Irrelevant, it's all about signal type, resistance, milliamperes, millivolts and milliwatts. Not connectors. You can put an XLR on your power supply and it wouldn't change the voltage.
I think my workplace may have a few USB audio things lying around. Like it has 2 XLR input ports, then connects to computer through USB. Do you know if they tend to need certain software, or if they're plug and play?< </div>

Adobe Audition 3.0 and Pinnacle 700 USB - How to record audio from VHS tapes???

Hi Friends,
I am new to Adobe Audition 3.0. I need your help.
Actually I am having a old Pinnacle 700 USB capture card. I want to record some audio in my computer by Adobe Audition.
I downloaded and installed required driver for Pinnacle 700 USB (for Vista).
But when I tried to capture audio from my VHS tapes, It not showing proper options. I don't know how to proceed further.
Could any one please help me... Please let me know what all I need to do.
Waiting for your helpful suggestions.
Thanks,
Yash

The Pinnacle is a video capture device and as such captures the video and audio into one MPEG or DV stream. Audition can't see it as an audio card and therefore can't capture audio directly from your video source. However once you have captured a video file using the Pinnacle you can probably get to the audio by using the Open Audio from Video command in the File menu in Audition.

I Want To Transmit Audio from Mic and Video from WebCam.....???????????????

I Want To Transmit Audio from Mic and Video from WebCam on Another Computer. I have used AVTransmit2.java file and AVReceive2.java file for Transmission and Receiving but They Transmit Only Video On Another Computer on a network without any error. Any One Help me How Can i Transmit both Audio & Video at the Same time ????????
i m using This Command for Transmittion
java AVTransmit2 vfw://0 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.2 10000
and this Command For Receiving
java AVReceive2 192.168.0.1/10000 192.168.0.2/ 10002

Excuse me foro my bad English but I speak English like Tarzan.
To trasmit both video and audio I created a MergingDataSource wich incorporates video and audio data sources. Then I created a Processor with this DataSource and a RTPManager for each track of the processor. It works.

Is it possible to monitor audio through my mac while capturing from a tape in FCPX

Is it possible to monitor audio through my mac while capturing from a tape in FCPX?

I am sure that as you import a tape you will hear the audio as well as see the video.
Have you got FCP X?
If not, download the free 30 day trial.
