Audio setting and dial -norm

OK,
Have problem. I set the dial norm to -31 for a 2 channel AC-3 project. When I play the track in DVDSP, the level is too low. At least 6 db lower than the track in Final Cut. the menu music is also too low.
Past experience has been leaving the default -27. The audio is OK but the menu music is usually too loud.
This is screwy.
Final Cut suite 5.1.4

Have a look at my posts here for more info on dialnorm:

  • Hi i upgrade from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am getting no sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever

    Hi i upgraded from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am no longer getting sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever.Any one any ideas?
    I use a samsung TV for my monitor via HDMI.Tried all the system Audi setting nothing .Head phone and internal speakers are fine.

    Similar issue; Audio was working fine on Lion, now not on Mountain Lion. Have a Macbook Pro early 2011 with AMD Radeon HD 6750M, connected by thunderbolt through a Lacie LBD to a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter (n.b. same problem when not going through the LBD) to a Pioneer VSX 521 AV receiver. For me when I go into audio Midi settings all the volume sliders for the displayport device are greyed out and at zero. But when I click 'configure speakers', it's able to send out the test signals to each speaker. Part of the problem could be that I'm not getting the option to put out 6channel sound, only 2 or 8 channel. Since my system is Dolby 5.1, and I only have 6 speakers, I would have expected the 6ch option to be available. But I imagine there's more to it than that. Elsewhere someone has suggested playing with Remote Interactive over HD on an Onkyo device; I'll see if there's something similar on the Pioneer that can be changed. Any other suggestions welcome.

  • 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.

    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.

  • How can I use a different driver for audio input and output?

    I did a search of course, and came up with something about an aggregate. I have no idea what this is, how to do it, or if it would even work for me.
    What I am trying to do is:
    1) Record into Logic Express using my Tascam US-122.
    2) Have playback come out of my computer sound system, not the Tascam.
    If I go over to the Audio setup window, I can only record when the driver is set to Tascam US-122. Likewise, I can only listen to sound when my Built-In Audio is selected. It gets rather annoying going between the two.
    So, would this aggregate thing solve my problem? If so, how do I do it? Thanks for any help!
    -allen

    Yes it should do what you want.
    Go to "Audio Midi Setup", and go to the Audio menu and click "Open Aggregate Device Editor". The interface is pretty simple but if you do get stuck, just use the help function in Audio Midi Setup, as it has a step by step guide.
    Then when you return to logic, go to the Preferences>Audio>Drivers section and select Aggregate Device as the new driver rather than either the built in sound or the tascam. Then the inputs and outputs will apply to BOTH devices.

  • How to use a bluetooth cellphone for audio input and output

    Hello, I was wondering how to set-up my Mac Book so that I can use my bluetooth cellphone for audio in and audio out. Ideally, I would like to use my handset for talking on iChat and Skype. Has anyone had any luck doing this? When I bond my cellphone these optiosn do not appear. I know that this is easy to do on a Windows machine but I am not sure about how to do it on my Mac Book.

  • How to create audio, video, and photo in a list view format

    I'm creating a webstire entirely out of Flash using CS5 for a paranormal investigation group. In the past, using a Website Tonight template from GoDaddy had placed either an audio, video, or photograph with text above each item discusssing the content. Now, they would like this type of feature in the Flash website. I'm new to Flash, but seasoned in many other Adobe products ... not that this helps ... much!
    Anyways, the website is looking great aside from this one set back, so I'm hoping someone out there can give me a helping hand. I'm willing to purchase a third-party template, but to incorporate that into our Flash file, seems daunting.
    AUDIO
    We need to load an audio that can play, pause, rewind, loop, and stop at the very least.
    Then have text describing the situation around the audio.
    repeat ... and so forth ...
    New audio will be added to this section every week or so, and all the components need to scroll as the screen fills up. When adding new audio, we would add the new audio and text to the top of the list, pushing the remaining audio files down.
    VIDEO
    We need to load video footage with all the button features needed to play, stop, etc. I have found adding video quite easy, but to get the player to move with the text as the frame it is contained in scrolls down is another story. How do you do that?
    Text describing the video contents will be above or next to the video player.
    repeat ... and so forth ...
    New video will be added to this section every week or so, and all the  components need to scroll as the screen fills up. When adding new video,  we would add the new video and text to the top of the list, pushing the  remaining video files down.
    PHOTOS
    ditto as others
    Thanks!!

    As mentioned, building a custom application can be tricky, especially if you are not very familiar with Flash.
    So you want a Web page with an audio player and selection list at the top (or where ever) and then a video player section, along with its playlist, and then at the bottom of the page you want a photo display area... Is that correct? and the scrolling you mentioned is because the page needs to be long enough to hold all 3 components? is that right?
    Have you instead considered just using 3 different frames, one frame for each component and simple buttons to jump from audio to video to photos?
    Or, skip the scrolling in Flash and let the html/css take care of the scrolling, just like any normal Web page. Just make the .swf as long as needed to display all your content.
    Since you are new at this type of a project, I'd suggest you start small, take the project in steps... just build the audio player... then the video player... then your photo slide show..
    Only after you have 3 working moduals would you but them together into one .fla
    And yes, learn to use xml for ALL the data, audio, video, and photos.... very easy to update without having to re-publish any of the Flash.
    Here is a good source for tutorials:
    http://www.gotoandlearn.com/index.php?currentpage=11
    Flash and xml
    http://www.gotoandlearn.com/index.php?currentpage=13
    learn to use NetStream to play your videos, much more versatile and powerful than using the FLVPlayback component
    But learning how to incorporate xml into your Flash project is very important in a project like this. And then broken down into 3 components, it's really not that tough to build a project like this.

  • Logic Pro 9.1.7 + Imac 2010 + 10.7.4 + Firewire = Audio Error and Solution.

    Hi all,
    This post is the end of a weeks long hair pulling, to save other people the pain of my past week, here is a quick rundown of the issue and the solution that for us at least worked.
    All the software is legit and fully updated btw, before people ask.
    Logic Pro 9.1.7 on 2010 Imac on 10.6.x, Refx Nexus, Sylenth plus many other VST's and Au's, Mackie Pro + Extender, 2 Midi Keyboards (Oxygen 49 and Alexis 49)  and with a M-Audio 410 external soundcard running 10.1.3 driver, all working.. only issue we had was when copying midi between tracks into differing plugins the midi would corrupt the plugin requiring a restart of Logic.
    This error we later discovered was due to midi automation for plugins being copied over, but that is not this issue.
    Updated OS from 10.6 to 10.7.4 by way of 10.7.4 Combi Update. Removed M-Audio Drivers and then installed 10.7.4,
    Installed brand new GRAID 4TB external disk (Raid 0 at 64kb block sixe) and connected M-Audio 410 via daisy chain.
    Installed M-Audio Drivers, all ok.. at first..
    Graid is 800, M-Audio is 400.. Connected as Imac -> GRaid -> Maudio
    At first, its good, no issues.
    Copied over a whopping 550GB off Imac onto external..  then later on, rebooted mac and started working on music.
    Ran Logic Pro  (64bit mode), whilst using Midi with Nexus we discovered the Audio at first was ok, but quickly over time degraded to where the sounds started becoming distorted, the more we went on, the more the distortion increased, after a while the midi notes were just sounding awful.
    Rebooted mac
    Started using Logic again, not 1 minute in, External drive and M-Audio disconnected themselves from the Mac.
    Rebooted
    Hard drive now seen, no M-Audio.
    Now though, even using Itunes or Quicktime or VLC on any mp3 via internal soundcard, quality was.. well terrible. Within 2 seconds of hitting play, you knew it was bad.
    Shutdown, removed external drive from chain, rebooted Mac -> M-Audio
    M-Audio now seen, sound quality dreadful, shutdown Mac, rebooted without M-Audio, sound still awful just on Internal audio.
    Time passes, I smoke too much, prod and poke and eventually reach for the install media
    (Lots of shutdowns and restarts in next bit, after each line, also carefully reset and tested every Audio setting.)
    Removed M-Audio driver
    Installed 10.7.4
    Installed M-Audio
    All good again.
    Later, as a test, connected External drive on its own, no M-Audio
    All good.
    Second test, added External Drive plus chain to M-Audio
    Not good, M-Audio seen but even though sound bars showing on M-Audio software, no sound out to mixer
    Removed External Drive from Chain, M-Audio now straight to Mac.
    All BAD; sound was terrible,
    Disconnected M-Audio
    Playing any Mp3 via internal Audio, terrible..
    Whatever happened, has thrown the entire Audio system into a mess, again!.
    Removed M-Audio driver.
    Reinstalled 10.7.4
    Reinstalled M-Audio Driver
    All good, on internal or external Audio
    Disconnected M-Audio
    Reconnected External Drive Only
    Drive OK, Internal Sound OK.
    Removed External drive
    Reconnected M-Audio
    All ok, internal or External.
    Ok, Final conclusion.
    When the M-Audio (400FW) is connected to Mac via External Drive (800) the Audio is knackered from that point onwards on 10.7.4, removing M-Audio drivers and re-installing makes no difference, even the Internal Sound is knackered.
    Only solution at this point, remove M-Audio driver, reboot, reinstall 10.7.4, reboot, reinstall M-Audio Driver, reboot.
    Then its all good again.
    My guess is this, and I am probably wrong but it is all I can think of.
    When the M-Audio is daisychained the Mac changes a setting somewhere, probably to adjust for high latency, at this point it is written somewhere (either as a file or as DSP bios setting) that is not being reset.
    This is why it is completely broken until 10.7.4 is re-installed at which point whatever setting it is that was changed, is reset.
    This is all I can think of, I have posted this so that if someone else in the weeks ahead has a similar issue, it will save you the stress and late nights I had this past week.
    Take care all.

    I was seeing the same problem... I'm a new Logic user, switching from DP, and so it was a minty fresh install of Logic Pro 9.1.7 under ML.
    It turned out to be a third party graphics driver that was screwing up some internal process:  specifically, the dirver for AirDisplay, an iOS app that lets you use an iPad as a portable monitor.  When I removed the driver, the problem cleared up instantly, and I have done 9 hour sessions in Logic since then without a single hiccup.
    If you're running a third party driver, remove it, repair permissions and see if the problem clears up.

  • What are the ports required for the Audio, Video and A/V conferencing when the following end points are enabled for QoS in Lync 2013 server?

    Hi All,
    What are the ports required for the Audio, Video and A/V conferencing when the following clients are enabled for QoS in Lync 2013 server?
    Client Type
    Port range  and Protocol required for Audio
    Port range and Protocol required for
    Video
    Port range and Protocol required for
    A/Vconferencing
    Windows Desktop   Client
    Windows mobile App
    Iphone
    Ipad
    Andriod phone
    Andriod Tablet
    MAC desktop client
    Please advise. Many Thanks.

    Out of the box, 1024-65535 for all of the client ports.  :) 
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg398833.aspx
    You'll want to tune your client ports a bit
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj204760.aspx as seen here, and then the client ports would use those ranges which is easier to set QoS markings.  I'm not sure the mobile clients respect that setting.
    Elan's got the best writeup for Windows clients here:
    http://www.shudnow.net/2013/02/16/enabling-qos-for-lync-server-2013-and-various-clients-part-1/
    However, the marking of the packets is the tricky part.  Windows can do it via Group Policy, but for the other clients you'll need to have the network specifically prioritize ports regardless of DSCP markings.  You have to do it based on ports
    as the traffic could be peer to peer.

  • Adobe Crashes upon adjusting Audio Gain and when exporting

    First a bit about the systems in question
    I have four identical edit bays. Each has a Dual Core 2.5 Ghz Pentium processor, 3.0 gbs of ram, a single sata drive split into two partitions (system 30 gb and video 470 gb). I am running up to date PPro 5.0.2, freshly installed on virgin drives. I was running Avsynth and FFdshow as a way to be able to import my old MJPEG footage, but thanks to Colin Brougham, I have that particular demon slain (and I am removing those two programs).I have two of the bays with the most up to date 64 bit manufacturer video and audio drivers, and two bays with Windows 7 automatically installed video and audio drivers. The problem is the same in all four bays.
    We dump in one of two ways: either a direct DV dump via firewire or downloading .MXF files from our Panasonic P2 cameras via USB (can't seem to get the firewire PC dump to work correctly). The project settings I am using are DV-NTSC - Standard 48 Khz, with a slight change of requiring upper fields first (we're using a Maxx500 playout server, and it requires upper fields first). We have been experiencing intermittent crashes for a week and a half, but in the last few days they have picked up (no new updates applied, so its not that). I have two culprits:
    One is an error code that thanks to this thread I know is related to the audio gain. My problem is that I have done everything I can think of and still no luck. It's been crashing with such regularity that my reporters are saving every few minutes, and I have the auto save set to 5 minutes. Today I had to reinstall this bay because it was crashing every time audio gain was adjusted.
    My other problem relates to export. I use the MainConcept MPEG Encoder to output mpegs for the playout server, and about every fourth or fifth time the program will crash on export. Its not a pain to recover from, since at that point the reporters have saved and merely have to reopen and reset up the export, but it is happening far to regularly. Event Viewer references windows/system32/ntdll.dll as the faulting module. Again, I am having this error on two different bays, one with manufacturer drivers and one with Windows 7 installed drivers.
    I know that despite my efforts I've probably not given enough info, so let me know what you need.

    ...downloading .MXF files from our Panasonic P2 cameras via USB (can't seem to get the firewire PC dump to work correctly).
    That's correct. Avoid FW offloading on a PC; in fact, while it used to be the way to interface a P2 camera with a Mac, it's all USB there now, as well. Stick with USB, and you'll be fine. (I know this wasn't the gist of your thread, but I thought I'd shine a little light on that.)
    One is an error code that thanks to this thread I know is related to the audio gain. My problem is that I have done everything I can think of and still no luck. It's been crashing with such regularity that my reporters are saving every few minutes, and I have the auto save set to 5 minutes. Today I had to reinstall this bay because it was crashing every time audio gain was adjusted.
    This is known/acknowledged/as-yet-unsquashed bug, assuming that you're remapping your MXF audio channels from the two mono channels that are originally produced by the camera to a single stereo channel.  You may be doing this manually, in the bin, or you might have a preference set to do this automatically on import (Edit > Preferences > Audio > Source Channel Mapping; if it's set to Stereo, try setting it to Use File). This bug only seems to rear its head when the mono channels of an MXF clip are remapped to stereo; if they remain as mono, you can use the Audio Gain command successfully.
    If, however, your audio channels aren't stereo, post back; there might be something else going on.
    My other problem relates to export. I use the MainConcept MPEG Encoder to output mpegs for the playout server, and about every fourth or fifth time the program will crash on export. Its not a pain to recover from, since at that point the reporters have saved and merely have to reopen and reset up the export, but it is happening far to regularly. Event Viewer references windows/system32/ntdll.dll as the faulting module. Again, I am having this error on two different bays, one with manufacturer drivers and one with Windows 7 installed drivers.
    When you say "MainConcept MPEG Encoder," are you referring to the MPEG2 encoder that is part of Premiere/AME, or are you referring to some sort of add-on encoder?

  • FCP 7.0.3 Easy Setup audio setting issues

    I have created two custom Easy Setups.
    SD:     DVCPro50 PAL with audio set @ 48.000 kHz, 16-bit, 16 chan
    HD:     DVCProHD 1080i 25fps with audio set @ 48.000kHz, 24-bit, 16 chan
    I open FCP, load the SD easy setup.  I then click on Audio/Video settings.
    Select "Audio/Video Settings" and view "Capture Presets Summary"
         - Audio format is listed as 48.000 kHz 16-bit 16-chan
    Select"Edit" and "Capture Preset Editor" comes up.
         - UnderQuicktime Audio Settings:
              - Device:  AJA Kona 3
              - Format:  48.000 kHz 16-bit 16-chan
    If I then select the HD Easy Setup, and then "Audio/Video Settings"
    Select"Edit" and "Capture Preset Editor" comes up.
         - UnderQuicktime Audio Settings:
              - Device:  AJA Kona 3
              - Format:  48.000 kHz 16-bit 16-chan (THIS SHOULD BE 24-bit)
    Select the "A\V Device" tab:
    The audio device has defaulted to the 16 bit setting as well.
    It appears that FCP or AJA is keeping the audio bitrate from the previous Easy Setup.
    Even if we close FCP completely, and reopen into a new project, load the HD Easy Setup, the bit rate still shows as 16.
    I have tried deleting the following:

    The camera definitely recorded in SP, that icon was visible on the viewfinder...
    What settings should i be using in FCP to capture the video? From attempted research i found most comments suggesting to use a basic Firewire settings. i have used this in PAL format but the results are poor.
    One thing I am confused about is the 32khz or 48khz settings. Which should i be using? I have an older version of FCE 4 where there are many settings for both 32khz and 48khz for DV FireWire but in FCP7 there are only options for 48khz.
    Any advice would be welcomed at the moment.
    I am also willing to upload clips of what I have to demonstrate visually the poor quality video I am capturing from the Canon

  • How does Core Audio set sample rate?

    When I play a particular movie in QuickTime, the audio and video are out of sync. The movie plays fine on other computers.
    This Mac Pro (OS 10.6.8) is used exclusively for Pro Tools and Final Cut Pro. The audio hardware is a Pro Tools HD Native card:
    Native card --> Pro Tools Digital I/O boxes --> Lavry D/A converters --> monitors
    The sample rate of the Digital I/O boxes is set by an external master clock, a Lavry Gold A/D converter.
    I opened the DigiDesign Core Audio Manager and it says:
    Connected @ 44.1K, 32 In/32 Out, Buffer Size 512
    Yet the movie is at 48K (I know because I created it in Final Cut Pro), and the external clock is set at 48K. So, I don't know where the 41K in the Digidesign Core Audio Manager came from. This is why I am guessing the problem is sample rate.
    Please help me understand what sets the sample rate.
    Does the application using Core Audio set it?
    If so, how is this made consistent with the sample rate set for the hardware by the external master clock?
    Do I have to be sure I always change the external clock setting to be consistent with the movie being played?
    BTW, I have not had a sync problem when I play video in Final Cut Pro..........it is always in sync. So, I have never worried about how Core Audio works. The sync problem is only with QuickTime.

    Well, here is more information:
    - I reinstalled QuickTime 7 and did many other things (trashed preferences,etc)
    - I set the audio hardware (Pro Tools/HD Native card) to 48k
    - I checked the Digi CoreAudio Manager and it said "Connected at 44.1K", even though the hardware was set to 48K
    - I played the problem videos, and all are now in sync
    - I check the Digi CoreAudio Manager and it still says 44.1K
    - I checked the hardware and it is now set to 44.1K
    I know that the videos are 48K, because I created them in Final Cut Pro X.
    Does this mean that QuickTime 7 always converts videos to 44.1K, regardless of their sample rate?

  • Add audio files and control play in pdf

    Hi, newbie here.  I have a set of large text documents in Word and corresponding mp3 audio files.  I am trying to create pdf's with the audio files embedded at specific points in the text.  I can put audio in and play it, but there is no controls for the audio.  I have seen a pdf file with a play-pause-stopbar that works, but cannot figure out how to do it.  Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Using Acrobat Pro7 (can upgrade if needed).  Thanks
    Just another thought, is there a small flash player that can be mbedded into a pdf?

    Thanks. I have upgraded and used the new conversion to Flash for the mp3 and
    it works well.  The look of the player isn't the greatest but it suits my
