Autotune Troubles with Microphone

Hello guys!
I recent bought the M-AUDIO USB Producer microphone from AVID an I got some troubles with Garageband 11 and Logic Pro X.
The microphone itself works like a charm, it's a wonderful microphone, but every single time I try to record a song with autotune efx he (the autotune) increases the volume and the sound gets distorced. If i turn off the autotune efx the recording looks like a studio, but when i turn it on, he ''destroys'' the voice. What's going on?? HELP ME!!!!
Thank you!

Have you made any progress with this? I have had what sounds like a similar issue when upgrading from 3.1.1sp2 to 3.2.2.
Keep us posted :-)

  • Trouble with microphone + audigy

    Hello,
    My first time.
    Anyways, I have a soundblaster audigy 2 ZS which I have to say kicks arse. It makes my games and music sound great, it was all tinny before this card.
    Now my problem is that I've purchased a cheap $0 microphone made by General Electric. So I plugged it into the proper jack in my sound card as shown in my quick start manuel. But I cannot record any sound. I tried the sound recorder from windows (I run windows 2000) and toyed with the creative sound stuff, but couldn't get a handle on anything nor record any sound through my microphone. Does anyone have an answer to my troubles or any advice?
    And though the mike is plugged in through the sound card, it won't be registered as new hardware. Dunno if that matters.
    Thanks in advance

    EDIT: Ahh, found my answer on page 3 or 4 of this forum. Go to surround mixer and turn up the mike settings. Solved.Message Edited by GuiltyRoach on 05-08-2005 04:07 AM

  • Trouble with Microphone with a Satellite A505-S6033--Rosetta Stone & Skype

    Hello all,
    I initially noticed my problem with Rosetta Stone.  Rosetta Stone has you repeat various phrases of the language your studying into the microphone and it will judge you based on pronunciation and your accent and allow you to pass through to the next segment.  My microphone would sometimes give me a correct, and sometimes not...it was extremely inconsistant and completely frustrating.  I've tried the onboard microphone as well as several different headsets w/ microphone attachments to no avail.
    I then began to think the files may had been corrupted, or something, and after numerous attempts to re-install Rosetta Stone software, decided to try the software on a friend's computer which worked flawlessly.  I also received complaints from friends when using Skype that the microphone would randomly cut in/out.  If there are any solutions to this problem, please help me....It's quite frustrating. I'm considering returning what is otherwise an outstanding laptop.  Please help! I've narrowed the culprit down--and its 100% Certainly something with the laptop.

    Won't hurt to reinstall this driver. Occasionally corruption creeps in.

  • Trouble with microphone

    Hello everybody. I am trying to animate a mask over a sound meter according to the activityLevel of the microphone. If I understood what's in the livedocs, the activity level is the amount of sound captured by the microphone, right? well, I'm trying to use it in order to do the animation but I have two problems:
    1. there's a very annoying sound coming out of my speakers
    2. nothing happens when I talk through the microphone
    here's my code:
    import flash.media.Microphone;
    import flash.events.ActivityEvent;
    masker.height = 0;
    var mic:Microphone = Microphone.getMicrophone();
    Security.showSettings(SecurityPanel.MICROPHONE);
    mic.setLoopBack(true);
    if (mic != null)
         mic.setUseEchoSuppression(true);
         mic.addEventListener(ActivityEvent.ACTIVITY, activityHandler);
         mic.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, statusHandler);
         stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, animateMeter);
    function statusHandler(event:StatusEvent):void
         trace("statusHandler: " + event);
    function activityHandler(e:ActivityEvent):void
         trace("activityLevel: " + e);
    function animateMeter(e:Event):void
         masker.height =  mic.activityLevel * 100 * 1.3;
    P.S: when I comment "mic.setLoopBack(true);" the annoying sound goes away...
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    you are having mic problems......could be the wire...could be the mic is too close to the speakers......which is what usually happens...and you get that annoying humm that gets louder and unbearable....
    the statement...
    mic.setLoopBack(true);
    is part of the problem.....its used so you can hear your sound as you talk thru the mic....which aint bad cus you want to hear......
    the problem mostlikely is that the mic is picking up the speakers and it causes the continual feedback noise......spare me i dont remember technical terms.....
    to solve.....you mostlikely need to lower your microphone......or turn the speakers away from the mic so it doesnt pick up the sound.......
    if that doesnt work......then its a wire issue.....or your soundcard is using same channel to record/input and output......like if you use the soundcard as the microphone and use the soundcard as the playback....
    try lowering the mic first.....and or turning speakers away

  • Trouble with Skype. can't hear caller but I can see caller.

    Trouble with Skype.  Caller cannot hear me but I can hear caller.  Cannot hear voice on test call.  Can see caller.  MIcrophone is on  and volume turned up.

    Michele,
    I do not have Mavericks running on my older MacBook Pro. During the call, do you have the microphone icon on the Skype window enabled or disabled? Have done that before.
    My Skype preferences:
    Microphone: Built-in Microphone (Internal microphone)
        * Automatically adjust microphone settings is set
    Ringing and Speakers: Built-in Output (Internal Speakers)
    Camera: Built-in iSight.
    System Preferences > Sound

  • Can I buy a headset with microphone for my 13" MACBOOK PRO?

    There is only one hole to plug an earphone, and when i record in my software, and i replay it. it sounds strange. so i'm trying to change a microphone.
    is the headset with microphone for A1278 on sale? could somebody give me an sale net address?

    Thank you. I know what you mean. Apple can support earpiece and microphone in one plug.
    When I ask about this question, my MBP had trouble in Windows XP.
    I'm Chinese, and there is a software named DynEd. I was using it to record my voice,that voice changed when I replay. It just like an iPhone app:Talking Prez.
    And then I reinstall my windows system. Now I'm using Windows 7, and the question resolved.
    Maybe 4GB memory is too big for WinXP x32.
    What do you think?

  • Having trouble with iphoto, will not print full image

    Having trouble with iphoto on my laptop and desk top computers.  On laptop will not let me print full image and having trouble getting correct rotation to print
    On desk top printing too dark and cannot get correct rotation there either, seems like the problem just started recently

    Ronleedek-
    What App are you using with the microphone?  I've used Skype, which has a "test call" feature to check your microphone.
    There is a good chance your microphone is defective, possibly disconnected inside the iPad.  If an Apple Store Genius can not fix it, you may get a new iPad on the spot.

  • Autotune Issues With Garageband

    Hi guys, having some trouble with autotune.
    About a year ago I installed a version of autotune that didn't work with Garageband so I gave up on it.  I'm now trying to use Autotune EFX AU but I'm having issues.  The old version of autotune won't leave my audio effects list in Garageband.  I've removed the old component for an older version of autotune, yet it still won't let me use the newer version because the old version is still showing up in Garageband.  What am I doing wrong?

    Missing items in the graphical user interface can be caused by corrupted preferences files or wrong permissions -
    try the "oddball problems" fix described in the FAQ, if you have not done so already:
    http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html#oddballprobs
    Try first to remove the GarageBand user preferences from the User library and then to repair the permissions on your system volume. If all fails, reinstall GarageBand.
    Regards
    Léonie
    P.S:
    The User Library is hidden by default in Mountain Lion. You can reveal it from the Finder's "Go" menu:
    Finder > Go,   then hold down the options ⌥ key, until the Library appears in the drop-down menu, select it and open the Library folder. Then go to the "Preferences" sub folder and remove

  • I having trouble with my i phone 4 ...when i make a call the other person cant hear me

    im having trouble with my i phone 4 ...when i make a call the other person can not hear me

    Kayla, check the grill that covers the microphone (bottom left next to charging port) and make certain there isn't any dirt, makeup, spilled soda clogging the grill causing it to fail. My sister had a similar issue with her earphone and while I was in the process of replacing it for the third time I decided to check the grill under a very bright light and it was totally clogged up causing her not to be able to hear her phone calls. Use a Q-Tip dipped in hot water and gently wipe the grill. Just barely moisten it, no need to go crazy with the water. Might as well clean the earphone and speaker on the bottom right too. Anyhow, that could be what your issue is and if so it's a really simple fix. If that doesn't help just replace the microphone. It'd cost maybe $5 and ten minutes of your time to do. Good luck, John

  • Problems with microphone sound in iChat

    Hello Ralph,
    (I already thought I sent this but I didn't see it as a new topic, so I am trying again). I'm new to this discussion thing, it's my first time so I hope I've submitted this correctly.
    I have similar, but extended and more complicated problems with "microphone sound in iChat". (Sorry, this email is a bit lenghty becuase I have already done a lot of my homework on trouble shooting this.)
    I began by using iChat with a high impedance microphone (from an old 1970'scassette player) PLUGGED DIERCTLY IN THE THE MICROPHONE INPUT on the back of my G4 tower. (I DO NOT have a video camera). My Mom in Canada can hear me okay on it, only if I "eat" the microphone. (My Mom DOES have a video camera).
    SO I BOUGHT AN iMic. I also bought a new condenser mic to go with my new iMic. I plugged iMic in and adjusted the sound preferences selection. I switched the iMic to "Mic". It did not work. The old cassette mic did not work at all with iMic either. My Mom could not hear me, and my "VU METER bar levels" on my iChat were not registering. (If I plug the condenser mic directly into the tower, Mom can hear me only if I "eat" the condenser microphone).
    Next, with iMic, I wanted to try my Shure 58 microphone instead. My friend (who is an audio tech) made me a 1/8" to XLR (sheilded) cable. I made sure I had adjusted the sound preferences and switched the iMic to "Mic". The Shure 58 did not work with iMic. It also did not work plugging directly into the tower.
    Next, with iMic, I wanted to try my "Plantronics telephone headset". My friend (the audio tech) then made me a 1/8"male to 1/8"mini feamle (sheilded) cable. My headset did not work with iMic. It also did not work plugging directly into the tower.
    My friend, the audio tech, then made me second cable 1/8"male to 1/8"female (sheilded) cable. This cable I had him make 50 feet long so I could move to other areas in my home while audio chatting - so I don't have to be trapped in my office while talking. We ran the cable from iMic to the Old cassette mic and the new condenser mic. They did not work with iMic.
    We also tried plugging the new 50ft cable directly into the back of the G4 Tower and it worked with the old cassette mic and the new condenser mic, BUT the volume was reduced and there was a loud baseball game being broadcast through the cable - according to my Mom. I could not hear anything from my end - not my own voice and not the baseball game! IS THERE A WAY FOR ME TO MONITOR (actually hear) THE SOUND THAT SHOULD BE COMING THROUGH THE MIC?
    I have tried to trouble shoot these issues on line, but can't seem to find the right solutions. In one of your discussions I read that you suggested to select the iChat preference for Video and select microphone. I CANNOT SEE THE FULL WINDOW UNDER iChat Video Preferences!!!! All I can see is the top half of a large empty box that says "There is no camera attached to this computer". (That's because I have no camera, but I DO HAVE a microphone).
    I also found some support about adjusting microphone levels using iMovie. I do not have iMovie on my Mac.
    Yes, I have already adjusted the AUDIO MIDI SETUP settings.
    My audio tech friend and I are both baffled. iMic is useless to me so far - perhaps you can help to get me up and chatting properly? Do I really need iMovie and/or a video camera to fix this???
    BY THE WAY: When I plug my external speakers into iMic and select iMic in preferences for output, my speakers and sound is very inferior to the using the speaker terminal on my tower. i Mic is supposed to better???????
    Thanking you for your help in advance,
    Marlene

    Hi Ralph,
    A funny thing just happened...
    The iChat prefernce window for "VIDEO" finally opened (!!) all the way, so for the FIRST TIME EVER and I was able to see the microphone setting at the bottom of the window. (Because I have NO CAMERA, the window would never fully open before during the 100 or so times I tried to get it to open before. This must've been a fluke because now it won't fully open again).
    While it was open I set the microphone setting to iMic, plugged my condenser mic into iMic and IT WORKED. Then I tried the long (baseball game) extension cord in the iMic (attached to the condenser mic) and IT WORKED TOO - with NO BASEBALL GAME!
    I still have to have the condenser mic right up to my mouth, which shouldn't be - but considering I have spent a few weeks trying to troubleshoot this, "eating the mic" is only a minor annoyance at this point.
    I just plugged my speakers into iMic and THEY WORK GREAT!
    SO ALL MY PROBLEMS WERE BECAUSE: I could not set the microphone under Video in iChat preferences because the VIDEO PREFERENCE WINDOW DOES NOT FULLY OPEN WITHOUT A CAMERA ATTACHED. If it hadn't opened by fluke my iMic would still not be working.
    I guess I'm all set now. Unless you have a suggestion why the condenser mic isn't picking up my voice from other than right by my mouth? It should be able to be a foot or two away at least.
    Thanks Ralph,
    Marlene

  • Trouble with audio driver HPG60-243C​L

    Hello.
    A few days ago, I needed to format my notebook (model G60-243CL) and I did everything just like I'm used to do. I reinstaled Windows 7 and after instaling the drivers downloaded from HP drivers page, I had to restart the computer. That's when my troubles began.
    Sometimes, when starting up, everything goes on properly until the Windows loading screen, when my computer suddenly restarts again. It doesn't happen everytime and it seems a bit random to me. However, I noticed that when it finally turns on after restarting several times, the audio is a bit odd in every application that involves audio like musics players, videos and games.
    On the rare occasions where my notebook manages to start up properly, the audio stays normal.
    I already tried formating again, reinstaling the audio drivers and codecs, but nothing seems to work. Does anybody have any suggestions?

    Now my problem is that when the headphones are not connected, any audio being played out through the sound card can be recorded through mixers 4 and 6 above. This includes sounds created by the operating system, any audio files being played out etc. However, when I connect my headphones, the audio at the microphones can be recorded through mixers 4 and 5 above but any audio produced by the computer (again, sounds produced by the OS, audio files being played out etc.) cannot be recorded at any mixer. I tried mixer 6 above without success.
    Is it not possible to record computer audio when a microphone is connected? If it is, how?
    Significant question. Are you interested in getting this code to work for the machine you sit in front of, or is this for 'the general end user'?
    I have no general solution for the latter, but for a single machine, installing an 'audio loop-back' (either software or hardware) might be the answer. That is the most intelligent thing I can offer that might help get around this problem.

  • Trouble with audio devices

    I wrote a simple Java application to record audio on some mixer and then play it back. With my headphones / microphone connected, I got the following list of mixers:
    1. Primary Sound Driver : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Playback
    2. Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Playback
    3. SoundMAX HD Audio : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Playback
    4. Primary Sound Capture Driver : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Capture
    5. Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Capture
    6. SoundMAX HD Audio : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Capture
    7. Java Sound Audio Engine : Software mixer and synthesizer
    8. Port Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 : Port Mixer
    9. Port SoundMAX HD Audio : Port Mixer
    Of these, mixers 2, 5 and 8 are not available when the headphones are detached, as expected.
    Now my problem is that when the headphones are not connected, any audio being played out through the sound card can be recorded through mixers 4 and 6 above. This includes sounds created by the operating system, any audio files being played out etc. However, when I connect my headphones, the audio at the microphones can be recorded through mixers 4 and 5 above but any audio produced by the computer (again, sounds produced by the OS, audio files being played out etc.) cannot be recorded at any mixer.
