Audio Reception through Quicktime recording

I am trying to do Quicktime audio recording of a conversation through when I am talking through Google Voice/skype, but the voice of the other party is not recording or recording very very less (hear as if somebody murmer). Is there a way to increase the recording sound of the other party. I am using a wireless headset when I am talking.
Thanks for any help in this,
Giridhara Tadikonda.

Ryan, I can see by your list that you've done your homework: when you open your Safari >> Help >> Installed Plug-ins, I wonder what other plug-ins show they are set to play wav or mp3, for example (e.g., WMP?).
Ryan have you tossed QuickTime's plist and relaunched QuickTime (and then reset preferences)?:
HD/Users/{YOU}/Library/Preferences/com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist
There are some other QT-related preferences in there that you can drag one by one to the desktop and then kick-start QuickTime.
(Another possibility is to drag the WMP plist to the desktop, in case it's causing the conflict.)

Multiple audio sources for quicktime movie recording

I want to record a Quicktime movie using iSight as the video input, external audio (guitar) via a Focusrite Saffire LE (1874) audio interface and internal audio (a backing track) from either iTunes, Logic 9 or MainStage 2 (I don't care which), so I can record myself playing and then send the video to another guitarist via Dropbox or similar. Is this possible and if so how do I set it up on my iMac?
Thanks.

QuickTime Player Pro, QuickTime X (Snow Leopard) and QuickTime 10.1 (Lion) all include a "New Movie Recording" feature. The camera can be the internal iSight or an externaly connected one and the audio can be internal or line in.
But you can only have one video and one audio source.
QuickTime Player Pro can be used to add additional "tracks" and the .mov container can have up to 99 of them. GarageBand can help you edit the track timing. It also includes other "instuments" and can play your video while you build additional tracks.
I would record via iSight but not include any audio. Then use GarageBand to add the additional audio tracks.

How do I get live audio playback through headphones while recording a performance of a song on iMovie through external mic?

Hard to explain but hopefully I can get the question across. If anyone can give me some tips on how this will work it would be greatly appreciated!
I like to perform songs of my own in iMovie and upload them to YouTube. The problem I am running into is when I try to record the song through an external microphone the sound will not playback (while recording) through my headphones. The audio and video do record just fine but I would like to be able to hear through my headphones WHILE I record into my external microphone so I can hear how it sounds as I sing. Is this possible? As I stated before, everything works fine but I cannot hear how I sound WHILE I am recording through my headphones. Thats all I want lol. Thanks!!

Did you ever find the answer to this problem? I have the same issue.
Cheers

Adjust output level of audio files in Quicktime export??

Hello...
I have been using Quicktime to create little ringtones (take an audio snippet, export as .aiff then convert to MP3 for my cell phone). However, the output of these ringtones played on my phone, compared to some other ringtones I have, is VERY loud.
I was wondering if there is a way either with Quicktime (where I export the .aiff file) or with iTunes (where I convert to MP3) that I can adjust the audio output level of the file so that it is less loud??
Thanks!!

I WAS WRONG. But there is a solution... record a screen movie using Quicktime (System 10.7 and 10.8).
Open Quicktime, in the file menu select "New Screen Recording," run your Keynote Presentation and the movie with sound will record if you use Soundflower.
Soundflower is a free program that can record system sound with QuickTime X, download at <http://cycling74.com/products/soundflower/>
In "Sound" system preference, set the output to "Soundflower (2ch)". (If you enable "Show volume in menu bar" you can Option-Click the volume icon in the menu bar to select audio devices.)
In QuickTime X's screen recording window, click the triangle near the top-right to select "Soundflower (2ch)" for the audio inout, then start recording. Keep the monitor volume slider in the recording window all the way to the left or else there will be echo on the recording.
You won't hear the sound while recording because it is going directly into QuickTime. If you beed to listen while recording, you will also need Audio Hijack Pro <http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/> Hijack the application producing the sound and use the "Auxiliary Device Output" effect to send audio to "Soundflower (2ch)", then make the recording.
When using Soundflower to send audio to and from applications, you may find that you are not able to send audio through another device to monitor audio output. In such situations you can use Soundflowerbed, an application that resides in the Finder’s Menubar allowing you to tap into Soundflower channels and route them to an audio device. To start the Soundflowerbed menu app go to the Soundflower folder in /Applications and within it open Soundflowerbed.app.

Audio lost in quicktime export

In an older thread several users mentioned a problem of loosing audio when exporting to Quicktime. I just had the same problem and found a solution.
I placed a video that contained music audio in a master slide to run in the background. I then created animations of text boxes to put words over the video, and set timings for the words using "Record Slideshow" in the "Play" menu. Everything worked great until I exported to Quicktime. When I exported, the video continued playing but the sound stopped as soon as the first animation played.
Here's the solution that worked for me:
I extracted the audio from the video. This can be done in iMovie or other inexpensive video editing programs. I silenced the video's audio by selecting the video, then clicking the Quicktime tab in the Inspector, and reducing volume all the way. In Inspector I went to the Document tab, clicked on media, and dragged the extracted audio into media box. I then recorded the slideshow. Now the audio played during the entire slideshow when I exported to Quicktime.

No audio on new screen recording

I am trying to save Apple's iPod tutorial (http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorials/) on my mac. I have succeeded in capturing the video portion of the tutorial, but there is no audio.
In Quicktime, I select File>New Screen Recording. This gives a Screen Recording screen where I select for Microphone: Built-in Input: Line In; also I select audio play through volume to full. In Safari, I start the tutorial web video and then in QT hit the record button and then select Start Recording. When the web video is finished I hit in QT stop recording in the menu bar. The video is saved in my mac Movie folder. I double-click the saved video and it opens in QT. I hit the QT Play button and the video starts playing but there is no audio. What is wrong? I'd appreciate any help.

This URL can be found in the source code for the web page you referenced above, in the "Activity" window after you select the clip you want
I did this and found the URL given in your EXAMPLE DEFAULT.
This was two separate options:
1) You can open the "View Source" window under the View menu and search the web page source code for all video links (both Guided Tours and TV Ads).
2) The Activity window only loads the reference URL after you select a clip for viewing but you seem to have a handle on this already.
or in the Finder "Info" window for the non-playing downloadable reference file.
It is not clear to me how to do this
If you copy the reference link in the Safari Activity window and paste it to the Safari "Download" window, the file it downloads from this web page will not open directly in the QT Player app. (I.e., you get a "Can't open this file" modal message.) However, if you highlight the MOV icon and open the Finder "Info" window, you can still get the full URL reference that will open in the QT Player "Open URL/Location" File menu option.
NOTE: In many cases the file downloaded directly by the Download window is a normal standalone or reference file which can be opened in the QT Player. Unfortunately, that is not the case for the page you gave.
Use the "Control-Click" shortcut to open the context menu and select the "Copy Link" option for the example default tour link above
I started playing the movie and did a control click but don't get a Copy Link option. Can't I just copy and paste the URL address from the movie window?
Was referring to the "Example" link I posted in my last comment. If you "Control-Click" this link, the "Context" menu contains both "Copy Link" and "Download Linked File" options. The "Copy Link" option is handy for copying the associated link to your system's "Clipboard." If you then open the QT Player app, select the "Open Location/URL" option, you can then use the "Command-V" shortcut to paste the copied link to the QT player for opening. (You can also paste the URL to Safari to open the file via the default plug-in.)
NOTE: On some web sites you can simply "Control-Click" the movie, a poster image, or text link and use the "Download Linked File" option to download a movie file directly. Unfortunely, the ability to do this depends on how the page is coded/resources are located so don't be surprised if you end up with something other than you wanted or expected.
Since I am running OS 10.6.7, if I understand you, I don't need to purchase QT7 Pro to do this.
I assume you can. I can do it under OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard which allows me to copy the data to a new MOV file container without recompressing the data.

Direct Digital Output through Quicktime?

I've used iTunes for years (ever since my first iPod) and I've never had a problem with it. However two years ago I got a HiFi receiver. Nothing fancy or anything, but ever since I've been wondering if I could some how bypass my soundcard's DAC and get iTunes (through Quicktime? I'm assuming iTunes uses Quicktime to decode audio. If I'm wrong could someone please move this thread to the iTunes for Windows sub-forum?) to output directly to PCM through S/PDIF? My soundcard has the ports (both coaxial and Toslink), but the only way that I've so far found to do this is either with an Airport Express (which is pretty much $100 to connect my HiFi which is 2m away from my computer, although currently this is pretty much my only option) or through the 3rd party plugin, multi-plugin (and foobar 2000). Unfortunately multi-plugin doesn't support a version of iTunes that will support my iPod.
Does anybody know of any other way to get iTunes/Quicktime to output PCM directly and bypass my soundcard's DAC? I can get it to pass it to the soundcard, have the soundcard decode it and recode it to PCM/AC3, but that's basically going from digital to analogue to digital again which is a lossy conversion. 3rd party plugins are fine as long as they work with iTunes 7.4 or newer.
Plugging my iPod into the HiFi is not desirable as I would like to control the music from the computer.
Thank you for reading.

Anybody? Are there any 3rd party plugins for iTunes/Quicktime that I haven't heard of?

Exporting .mov file from CS5.5 Premier Pro for playing through QuickTime Player

Dear All,
I would most appreciate any assistance on a problem that I am experiencing with a current project.
I have a HD1080i50 project which I have completed editing. The work consists of two video tracks on top of a black video track that presents two identically sized images side by side that run con-currently. To achieve this presentation I have solely reduced the scale of the clips to 44% and then positioned them side by side. After rendering, within Premier, the playback is exactly as I want it and the imagery is sharp and clear. The problems occur when I either try to export the project as a mov. file (to play using Quicktime), or when I export to Encore and produce a DVD. In both cases, the audio is fine but the imagery is slightly blurred.
In the first instance, would someone be kind enough to recommend the optimum export codecs to creat a .mov file for playing through QuickTime?
To date, with earlier projects, I have not experienced this problem. I am obviously doing something wrong in the export settings process and would appreciate it greatly if anyone can advise. Should more info on the project be required to respond, I am happy to provide it.
With thanks in advance.

In the first instance, would someone be kind enough to recommend the optimum export codecs to creat a .mov file for playing through QuickTime?
Sure, but we need to know what you intend to do with the file. Is it for distribution? Archiving? Watching on a computer, or watching on the web? Do you absolutely need to have a QuickTime MOV? There are many variables, not the least of which concerns the exact specifications of your sequence and the footage you're using in the sequence.
To make a better recommendation, some more information is needed.

Distorted audio when trying to record simple VO tracks

I'm running my Heil PR-40 mic through an Alesis USB output mixer. I have my input settings as USB Audio Codec in my record preference settings. When I monitor through headphones (connected to mixer) my output signal is clean as a bell.
When I playback my recorded VO tracks in Soundtrack, the audio is totally distorted with clicks, pops and whatever - totally unusable. My VU settings during record are actually a bit low, so peaking is not the problem. I have never been successful at getting good mic audio into my Macs. What am I missing?

Audio input through external microphone not 'heard' by computer

I can record audio with any app through the builtin mic. And I know the system 'hears' sound through the builtin mic when I go to SystemPreferences->Sound->Input.
I have an external microphone that I want to record through. I went to SystemPreferences->Sound->Input and chose 'Line In' and plugged in the microphone's lead into the 'in' jack. However the SystemPreferences->Sound->Input Input Level sensor/detector is dead -- it shows no audio input. Nor does iMovie pick up any audio input when the mic is plugged in.
I know the input jack works by plugging in the output pin from a cassette-player, choosing 'Line In', and playing a cassette. The Input Level sensor/detector comes on and the sound is available to apps.
I know the external microphone works by plugging it into the cassette-player and recording from it and tapping and rubbing on its pick-up. The sounds are captured on cassette tape.
So why is audio input through external microphone not 'heard' by the computer? Is there some trick to making it work?

There are a few possibilities, but the most likely is that your microphone does not produce enough signal to be "heard" through the Mac line input. Usually this is normal, with most microphones producing perhaps 1/100th of the signal needed, which would be called "mic level".
You cassette deck probably outputs "line level", much stronger and strong enough to register in the Mac Line input. Similarly, the cassette deck microphone input is probably "mic level" and much more sensitive than the Mac line input.
There are other possibilities, such as a powered microphone, but you have not provided any model numbers or specifications to analyze.
Try this: plug in the microphone like you did before, and make a really loud sound right in front of the mike, like clapping hands. You may see or hear a faint sound register on the Mac.
The usual cure is to buy a microphone preamplifer. You can also buy a new microphone with a built-in preamplifier. You can also buy a USB microphone or preamplifier device that bypasses the analog Line input entirely.

Quicktime 7.0.4 Fixes 5.1 audio issues in Quicktime video

Just FYI, the new version of Quicktime (7.0.4) will fix the 5. surround sound issues on Creative soundcards. Prior versions of Quicktime 7 would not play the center channel's audio at all.
I've talked to an engineer at Apple, and he said this is Creative's fault, and they actually had to work around/figure out their own fix to it. Go figure.

Well, it doesn't really matter what I think, I suppose.. In the end, I wasn't able to play 5. sound through Quicktime + Creative hardware for nearly a year. That's really pathetic. Someone at Creative or someone at Apple dropped the ball... and the consumer paid for it. I actually spent a chunk of change upgrading my soundcard to an X-Fi, thinking it would fix the Quicktime issue.
I contacted Creative via technical support, begging them to look into the issue and talk to Apple to get it resolved, but I essentially got a "that's third party software, and we can't do anything about it" answer. Hah, that's funny. I guess they're expecting no-one to use their soundcard? You'd think they'd be anxious to hear about applications that don't work 00% with their hardware.
On the other hand, on contacting Apple's technical support, I actually was able to e-mail a Quicktime engineer back/forth... and he stated that they had found the cause of the bug and it would be fixed in the (now released) new version. That's when he also told me it was due to something specific with Creative's drivers/hardware. Who knows if he's lying/exagerrating/whatever. All I know is that my Creative soundcards did not work in 5., while all other soundcards I had laying around did..
Anyhow, it's fixed now, so I'm a happy camper.

Audio track will not record - picture is fine PE9

PE9 audio track will not record. Tried in several projects - audio gets through to computer - but the audio is not being recorded. Help please.

Hi ATR
Was transferring a client's DVD-R into my Adobe PE9 to do some editing requested by client.
The audio from the DVD was coming through clearly on my computer speakers but when I finished tranferring I stopped recording and discovered the video track was fine but there was no audio track.
Tried recording said DVD into some of my other files on PE9 but same thing.
Since posting my cry for help I uninstalled PE9 and reinstalled it.
This appears to have fixed the problem as I am now transferring client's DVD-R once again.
A quick check after a few minutes revealed the audio track is now being recorded with no problems!
Thanks for your interest.
Kind regards
David

No audio play through when uploading audio file

Hello. I have been trying to use GB '08 to upload audio files of recorded interviews. Problem is when I begin uploading, no audio plays so I can't adjust levels, etc. I've tried looking through preferences/other tools for "play through" features but can't find any. It doesn't do me any good to try to upload interviews if I can't hear them to make sure the audio quality is good enough. Can anyone help with this? Thanks!

Yes, I am importing the audio from an external recording device. I set up a basic track and then hit record but then I can't hear anything except the metronome or the timing clicks. So I have to stop it after a few minutes to check that it has recorded the audio properly - levels OK, etc. And then if the voice levels are too low or some other problem, I have to guess that I'm adjusting the input levels OK, and then I hit record again and repeat the process. I want to be able to hear the audio while I'm recording. That's what I can't seem to fix.

Audio Hijack Pro + Quicktime X

Audio Hijack Pro can hijack Quicktime X, but I can't get it to record. It will still record Quicktime 7. I use this to record some late night talk radio for download to iTunes. Good thing Quicktime 7 is still on the computer (in the Utilities folder). I've contacted the developer (Rogue Amoeba).
From their compatibility website (http://www.rogueamoeba.com/status/), it looks like an update will be coming.

Weird. Sorry, no further ideas at this time. Perhaps someone else will have run across this and have a suggestion.
Meanwhile, you might try playing and capturing the audio file using QuickTime Player 7 which should be in your Utilities folder (if not, you can install it via the Optional Installs on your Snow Leopard install disk). That might work with Audio Hijack.
Regards.

How do I Ensure that your MOV/MP4 video is exported through QuickTime conversion?

I have a YouTube channel. I use Sony Vegas to render my mp4 projects, but my PC uses QuickTime & I'm VERY unfamiliar with it and/or how it works, how to access it. When I record a mp4 video, QuickTime needs to be involved, but I'm unsure how to even check or know where to go, to find out how to do that. I need ensure my mp4 video is exported through QuickTime conversion. I have no idea what it even means? Does anyone out there happen to have the knowledge I would need to check if in fact the video is being exported through QuickTime conversion? If so, I WOULD FOREVER BE IN DEBT TO YOU! I hope someone can help me figure this problem out. Thanks for taking the time to view my question, and if anyone does know, I'd greatly accept your advice! Thank you very much again!

Hello,
You can do this: Set up a slow pulse train for CTR0 (1Hz). Set up a continuous digital channel read for Port 0 Line 0 on your card. Hook up CTR0 output (pin 5) to P0.0 (pin 10). Start your program to do the counter output pulse train and continuous read. You should see your digital line transition from high to low over time. The examples you can use to set this up are Gen Dig Pulse Train-Continuous.vi and Cont Read Dig Chan-Int Clk.vi. For Cont Read Dig Chan-Int Clk.vi, remove the DAQmx Timing VI to make it software timed, and connect the task handle and error wires accordingly. They can be ran from separate VI's as they don't use the same resources.
To be exact on the verbage used, you can perform a self-test on the device by right clicking the device in Measurement and Automation Explorer (MAX) and select Self-Test. As for testing the device manually, go with what I described above.
