Auzentech X-Fi prelude and X-fi I/O dr

I looked at this card and I noticed?- it has an internal 40 pin AD-Link header!? That means that a X-fi I/O dri've should work with this card. But does it's? I want it to work so bad I might take one for the team.
I've always wanted a dri've bay module for my soundcard. I never bought a Soundblaster because they never had a good rep for audio fidelity before the X-fi series and their 3DPA was inferior for headphones (but now they've bought Sensaura, so that's a moot issue). I never bought any of the Terratec cards that had dri've bays because their reputation for drivers was horrible (yes, even worse than Creative Labs). Then the X-fi Elite Pro came along, and it has an external module only, which I just couldn't accept. I didn't buy any of the cheaper Xi-fi models because they probably don't sound as good as my Revo 5. (though I'm not entirely?sure). But now, could there finally be a?high quality consumer card with a dri've bay module? This would rule if it works.

Wow and I thought the tech support directly was slow... angry:73.3.99.30

    ?New info as of 4/8/07....full article here:?http://www.dailytech.com/Auzentech+C...rticle6956.htm?If it's taking CL to Q4 of 2007 to complete the drivers out for the Auzentech then I think we are in for a looong wait until XFI drivers are *final*. I would like to ask Steve Erickson what CL plans to do to support current generation XFI cards and not force us to upgrade hardware to obtain fully support Vista audio. -Meerkat?<span class="ArticleSummary">Auzentech's new Prelude 7. to feature Creative Labs X-Fi audio processor
    Auzentech this week announced the first third-party sound card featuring Creative Labs? X-Fi audio processor. The upcoming [url="http://www.auzentech.com/site/company/press.php">Auzentech Prelude 7.[/url] couples Creative Labs? EAX 5.0 with Dolby Digital Li've multi-channel audio encoding technologies. Auzentech promises Dolby Digital Li've encoding under Windows Vista with the Prelude 7..
    Details of the Prelude 7. remain scarce, as the product isn?t scheduled to launch until later this year. Creative Labs? X-Fi initially launched with hardware acceleration, however, the latest [url="http://www.soundblaster.com/products/product.asp?category=&subcategory=208&product=5853 ">X-Fi XtremeGamer[/url] lacks hardware acceleration, even while carrying the X-Fi name. It is unknown which X-Fi audio processor the Prelude 7. integrates.
    Creative Labs has had troubles enabling hardware acceleration for EAX audio technologies under [url="http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=582">Microsoft?s Uni'versal Audio Architecture[/url], or UAA, under Windows Vista. Creative Labs found a work around for UAA with its [url="http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=582">ALchemy OpenAL wrapper[/url].
    "We?re excited to provide Auzentech with our award-winning X-Fi audio chipset and technology to provide an outstanding audio experience for Auzentech?s customers,? Steve Erickson said, vice president, Creative Labs Audio Division.
    Expect Auzentech to unleash the Prelude 7. in Q4 of this year.

    Maybe a little more research on your part is needed before you should be "standing by your case". Have you ever heard of the X-FI Extreme Audio? If not, look here:http://us.creative.com/products/prod...9&product=5855?It does not have any hardware acceleration. Also, Dailytech is not "on the spot" with the release date, the previous poster was, though. Follow this link:? http://www.auzentech.com/site/company/press.php? and you will read that, from Auzentech, the card will be released near the end of May. A little bit of reading really can help.

    Thanks, Nedim

    The problem with what you are trying to do is that include will inlcude the response and not the original document.
    In other words the jsp engine will try to compile prelude into a servlet, but because your xml document is not valid this would fail. Hence the XML error.
    Do you absolutely need to use the xml syntax? Because jsp page syntax would work in this situation.

  • Link Prelude and Premiere? (Update Premiere Projects)

    Hello,
    So, I really enjoy commenting and marking in Prelude as the user interface and the whole handling is really simple and you can just concentrate on reviewing your footage.
    After I export subclips into Premiere, is there a simple way to go back to Prelude, make new subclips, comments etc. and update these in Premiere?
    Or do I have to "sent them to Premiere" again?
    Would be a cool feature if I could go back to Prelude any time, update comments and have them in Premiere automatically!
    YaNuo

    Comments yes, subclips no.
    Comments are saved in XMP and Premiere Pro and Prelude both read from and write to the same place for each asset, so if you update a comment marker in Premiere Pro you'll see that update in Prelude and if you update a comment marker in Prelude you'll see that change in Premiere Pro.
    Not so with Subclips, however, since at the time you Send to Premiere Pro the subclip marker that Prelude writes as a kind of marker in XMP is converted to a Premiere Pro subclip that lives in the Premiere Pro .proproj project file. It is a great idea to have subclips maintain a more "live" relationship like comment markers do, I encourage you to file a Feature Request. http://adobe.com/go/wish

  • Having a tough time with Prelude and Playhead movement.

    I'm having a tough time grasping how navigation in the Prelude Timeline works, and will try to keep my questions short and separate, rather than a long list.
    1) I've added markers to a clip. When clicking-on/selecting a marker that I've added, it appears in the HUD, but the Playhead automatically moves to where I click. That may place it anywhere between the In and Out points for that marker, when what I might want to happen is to select/highlight a marker, then move the Playhead to the Out point, (perhaps in order to move the Out point a few frames). There must be something about the Playhead behavior that I'm missing.
    2) How can one Play only the part of a clip that has markers? Example: I have multiple markers, but I want to Play only the footage between the In point of Sub Clip 1 and the Out point of Sub Clip 1.
    Is there a way to do that?
    The difficulty in doing this seems to be compounded by the situation described in Question 1 above, i.e. when I select/highlight a Sub Clip, the Playhead moves to where I click.
    I've tried various key combinations in the Timeline and the Marker Inspector, but no joy.
    Is there a way to select and Play only a Sub Clip from its' In point to its' Out point?
    Using Production Studio Premium CS6 on Windows 7 Pro, and Prelude Help>Check for Updates tells me everything is current.

    Thanks for your reply.
    Clicking on either the In/Out point to drag either one, they move as shown in your example.
    I don't know how to record video from my screen to show the behavior, but when I do what you do in the first 2 seconds of your video, i.e. click in the middle of the colored marker bar, the CTI moves to where I click,
    I notice that you already have a marker highlighted, then you click from an area without markers to the center of the first marker, then the center of the 2nd marker, then the center of the 3rd marker, all without the CTI moving.
    When I do those same steps, the CTI moves to where I click. It appears you're using only Comment Markers. (I can't read the Marker text to know for sure). However, I''ve also tried it with Sub Clip markers, and a combination of Comment and Sub Clip markers, and the CTI still moves to where I click.
    I've looked in Edit/Preferences, but nothing there seems associated to the behavior I'm experiencing.
    Is there some other setting I'm overlooking? Maybe something "connected" to how the HUD affect CTI movement?
    Thanks.
    PS: Does/would it matter that I'm using/working with AVCHD footage, i.e. MTS files?

  • Sound Blaster Sound Cards and Gigaworks S750

    I recently purchased a Sound Blaster Zx sound card and found that it only supports up to 5.1 speaker configurations. That means I don't have sound from my side speakers in my Gigaworks S750 7.1 system. Needless to say I am very disappointed with Creative Labs engineers wondering why 7.1 support has been dropped from their very own speaker systems. I am posting hoping some more knowledgeable forum members can offer a better solution to my dilemma.
    I could go back to my X-Fi Extreme Music card which has all of the 3.5 mm minijack speaker connectors but I would rather not do this as support for this card has been dropped and I am doubtful that there will be many more driver and/or software updates available. I would also rather not buy a new speaker system b/c I am happy with the Gigaworks and don't really want to replace it.
    I looked going back to an older Titanium HD soundcard but it only has RCA connectors on the back of the soundcard and the Gigaworks connectors are 3.5 mm minijacks. The Gigaworks has no optical or HDMI connectors anywhere. I wonder....can I connect the 3.5 mm jacks from the Gigaworks to the RCA or optical ports on the ZX or Titanium HD with an adapter or converter? Does Creative sell new cables or adaptors, or any special audio shop for that matter, that would make the connections work?
    Can anyone help please?
    Thanks!

    As I said, that upmix is only a workaround, you still have just 5.1 discrete channels, just that the rear and sidespeakers emit the same sound.
    I don't have any experience with Asus or Auzentech. Both have their issues as well but they are both very good and only the very best creative cards (X-Fi Titanium HD, ZxR and perhaps X-Fi Elite Pro) can compete.
    On the other side Asus has most of their cards in production for half a decade without alteration and doesn't update their drivers very often as well. Their don't be as many issues as with creative cards, but you will find people having problems as well, it's not like they work flawlessly for everyone.
    Same for Auzentech, only they didn't produce as highend cards as Asus and some Creatives (Titanium HD and ZxR only) plus while their dirver support seems to be good, their other support is nonexistant, especially since they seem to have stopped producing soundcards. Additionaly I have heard of the X-Fi Forte mysteriously dying on many people after some years.
    The differences aren't great, though, and in my opinion you won't find a soundcard combining everything to perfection. The ZxR nearly does, only lacking 7.1 output.
    The Asus Xonar STX is very similar, but can only ouput analoge stereo, while the PCI-based ST can output the very best analoge 7.1 available with a additional daughtercard (but who wants a PCI card nowadays?).
    The best 7.1 cards from Asus, D2 and D2X, lack a Headphone-Amp, while the Xonar Xense and Phoebus, being nearly identical to each other, have one but use a slightly lesser DAC for all channels apart from Stereo, similar to the Auzentech X-Fi Forte and Bravura.
    The D1 and DX finally are only slightly better than the X-Fi Music and Titanium, because they use a slightly better DAC for Stereo, which is used on Audigy 4 Pro and X-Fi Elite Pro for all channels and for stereo on the soundblaster Z and Zx.
    Everything below (Xonar DG(X) and DS(X)) ist far inferior, though the DG(X) sports a cheap headphone-amp even the D2X lacks.
    So, if you only want 7.1 as good as possible, the Xonar D2X is the best solution, followed by the D2, Auzentech X-Fi Prelude and Creative X-Fi Elite Pro.
    But, if you want to drive very good headphones, too, the Xonar Xense, Phoebus and Auzentech X-Fi Forte will be the better solution.
    None of them will be as good as the ZxR, if you can live with discrete 5.1 only.
    The minijack cables aren't an option. Just when you connect your Gigaworks to any Asus, Auzentech, Creative X-Fi Titanium card or most onboard codecs you have to use 4 stereo minijack cables, while for any Creative 6.1/7.1 card from Audigy 2 to X-Fi PCI-series you have to use a special 4 stereo to 3 4-pin minijack cable, which probably came with your gigawarks set.
    If you want to use any "normal" sound card you don't need any special cable, it's just 4x any normal stereo minijack cable.

  • Why is metadata so different in Prelude as compared to Lightroom and Bridge?

    As a still photographer now shooting video, I'd like to have a similar workflow for video clips that I have for my still images for metdata entry. However, metadata seems to be completely different for video. I'd like to be able to enter common metadata entries for my still and video images at the same time. Both Lightroom 4.2 and Bridge CS6 make it look like this is possible, but the metadata only seems to be available from within those programs and doesn't transfer outside the program either in the file itself or in xmp sidecar files. I looked at Prelude and the metadata categories are completely different. I'm mostly concerned with the IPTC fields and the GPS fields that Lightroom applies using the Maps function. I understand that video has additional fields unique to video, but IPTC and GPS seem like they could be shared. My ultimate goal is to catalog the video files in our DAM, Canto Cumulus, which is accessible by hundreds of users. Photo Mechanic seems to write IPTC to an XMP file for video files, which can be read by Cumulus. It seems like Adobe should have similar functionality. Am I missing something?

  • Standby and PCIE 2.0 x16 problem

    Good day Forum,
    I have encountered 2 issues with my setup (I will list the setup specifications below).
    Standby issue: My computer is unable to go S1 nor S3 standby despite having a new operating system installed. Power settings set at Maximum Performance for Windows 7. When I clicked 'Sleep', the system will power down but it will power up again (without having the display shown). I have ruled out USB issues because I have taken out all USB peripherals connected to it right before it shuts down from standby and connected back again after it powered up.
    PCIE issue: My PCIE 2.0 x16 graphic card is slots into the blue coloured PCIE 2.0 x16 slot. There are 2 PCIE-based cards which are connected to the motherboard via the PCIE slot but they are not connected to the 2nd PCI 2.0 x16 slot (hence, no reason for the speed to drop to x8). The issue here is not concerning the bandwidth of my graphics card but merely a question of curiousity as to why the interface speed drops from PCI-E 2.0 x16 to PCI-E x16 (v1.1). Any ideas? Here are some of the screenshots I took before and after:

  • Previewing clips in Prelude while in other applications (e.g. browsing the net)?

    Prelude is a great tool for quickly going through media, but sometimes clips require you to watch or listen to the whole thing to find the right moments. I'd love to be able to have clips playing in the background while surfing the net. Is there a way to do this? I'm using the Mac version of Prelude, and everytime I switch to another application while Prelude is playing a clip, the clip pauses.

    About your update. If you have multiple displays you can specify one of them to have full-screen playback (don't select your display with the Mac menu bar, that can make it a challenge to get back to the preferences to undo the change). The "Disable video output while in the background" control makes it so this full screen output is turned off when you bring another application forward. In all cases Prelude CS6 stops playing when another app comes forward. Thank you, in advance, for filing a feature request.

  • Prelude takes a long time to open a (new) project file

    Hi,
    I'm trying out Prelude, and I've created a new project and ingested (via link) about 20 hours of Canon XF footage in about 1000 files from an internal hard drive. All the media loaded correctly and all the audio peak files were generated.
    When I close and reopen Prelude and try to open that project, the "loading project" window pops up, the progress bar proceeds to completion over a few seconds, and the window goes away. The issue is that Prelude is then unresponsive for the next ten or fifteen minutes! I can see the entire interface, but nothing responds. I can see the clips listed, but their thumbnails are not loaded. Windows System Monitor tells me Prelude is actively using CPU and accessing the disk. After 10-15 minutes, the thumbnails appear and I'm able to use Prelude, but this seems like a LONG time to load a not-so-big project on a pretty new system. Is this normal?
    My system has one of the new i7-4770k processors, 16 GB of RAM, a Samsung 840 SSD for the system drive, and an internal Seagate 3TB 7200 RPM drive as the media drive for this project, so I would expect loading to be pretty snappy. While Prelude is unresponsive, system monitor shows it using 15-20% CPU, 11 GB of RAM, and only 5-10 MB/s disk access. I've tried recreating the project file from scratch several times, with the same result every time.
    Is this wait time normal? Is there any way I can speed it up?
    If it's still loading, it seems like it should provide some feedback about that, too.

    Hi Michael,
    I tested out Prelude with approximately half of the same footage of my
    larger project. It still had a brief unresponsive period but,
    interestingly, the relationship to the amount of footage didn't seem to be
    linear. Whereas a project with all the footage takes 10 minutes, this one
    only took about a minute.
    I should also point out that, although this is all Canon XF footage and all
    the media is in numbered subdirectories with metadata like on the card,
    they are not contained within the "CLIPS001" directory that your Canon XF
    importer uses to identify XF media. Therefore, when I import them, the
    import dialog doesn't identify the media directories as such. I don't know
    whether that makes a difference, just wanted to try to help narrow it down
    in any way I can.
    Hope that helps. Will you update me when you have something?
    Thanks.

  • Is it possible to switch the left-right scrolling behavior in Prelude?

    On my Apple magic mouse I can scroll left and right with the flick of a finger for items that are too wide to fit on the screen, such as the list of columns in the Project pane. The behavior in Prelude is to move opposite to the finger flick - in other words if I flick my finger to the right, it will move the columns to the right as the scroll bar at the bottom moves to the left. This is the opposite behavior of Premiere in the same Project panel. In Premiere, if you flick to the right, it's as if you are flicking the scroll bar. When working with both programs at the same time, it's hard to get used to the inconsistent behavior. I can change my mouse settings to switch the direction, but I cannot make Prelude and Premiere match directions.

    Hi Wes, did it really change with the update?
    My Premiere and Prelude panel scrolling behavior still differ.
    In Premiere, when I scroll to the right on my trackpad, I move forward in time.
    In Prelude it's reversed.
    How to set it? Can't find an option in the Preferences.

  • Using Prelude as simple DAM

    Hi,
    I wanted to check if it is possible to use Prelude as a simple Digital Asset Management system.
    We keep all of our older raw footage on offline hard drives (mostly red carpet interviews). I am looking for a simple solution where I can import basic file infos into a database, add some metadata to it (which event location, names of people in video, which hard disc, ...).
    I understand from the previous post that Prelude only searches the currently open project, but does that mean that all assets have to be on-line as well? Or can I simply add all footage to the same project (which I would only use to search for files) and then search for, lets say, a name, and Prelude lists all footage where the meta-data includes this name and I know which harddisc to pull and find the file on?
    I have researched several specialized DAM solutions, but most are optimized for images and do not support video well. That ones that are out there for video assume that you need your content accessible 24/7 and are optimized for that. So maybe Prelude would offer a work-around?
    Thank you!

    Michael,
    Thank you for addressing our questions.   Due to my internal purchasing
    process, I still haven't received my copy of Prelude, but I'll try to
    answer your queries as best I can.
    When you think about a DAM as part of Prelude I'm curious to understand
    what key features you'd like to see there. For example, if Prelude were to
    simply remember every asset and all associated metadata for each asset
    into a database and make is searchable, is that sufficient?    Yes and no.
    Yes, if this would help to reduce load time.  No, if it means not seeing
    the clips.  We need to see the clips because, for us, such a database
    could easily reach tens-of-thousands of clips and we can't remember them
    all.  I work in government, where we have multiple producers creating
    assets, and are required to keep media because they are considered public
    documents.
    The speed issue might be helped if you could select when to turn on clip
    loading or viewing.  I would think that loading metadata would be faster
    than loading media, so what if you could tell the system to load all the
    metadata from a library before doing a basic search on it.  Then, based on
    the clips that are selected, switch to view mode for just those clips in
    order to refine the search.  The feature should be switchable, because
    when loading media into the system for the first time, you might want to
    start by viewing clips and metadata.
    An additional feature I would like to see is for Prelude and Premiere to
    work together in the opposite direction from what you addressed in your
    email.  For example, if you could add notes or markers in Premiere that
    would automatically update the metadata of the original clip.  Or, perhaps
    Prelude could track when clips are used by automatically adding a metadata
    field to the original clip that included date and the project name where
    it was used.  The more automation here, the better.
    Also, since we are generating file based masters of our completed
    programs, it would be nice for Media Encoder and Prelude to interact so
    that we can add appropriate metadata and track which masters are stored on
    the server.
    Would you need to share this database with others?  Yes, internally.
    What would you expect when your media is archived or moved offline -
    should Prelude know about that somehow?   Yes, we would need to track the
    location.  It would also be helpful to have a low-res thumbnail available
    for offline clips.
    Would you like to have archival/backup features as part of Prelude that
    update the DAM properties as well (maybe with labels for whatever drive or
    LTO you've put your media on)?   YES!  This approach would be a nice
    solution to the previous question.  Also, Don't forget off-loading media
    to blue-ray.  There are very robust devices which are network enabled and
    can generate blue-ray disks. For example, the Rimage products can create
    data, or playable disks with printed labels for either archive or finished
    products.  Here is another point where connectivity could be applied if a
    program was being sent to Encore.
    What other features would you consider critical to your workflows?   The
    items we feel are most critical are viewable clips, and searchable
    metadata.
    It would be nice if Prelude could search a "Master Project" and send
    selected files to another project, so that you could return to the "Master
    Project" and do additional searches.  In addition, the ability to append
    projects might be useful.
    Also, for a "Master Project," it might be smart to be able to designate it
    as "write only" from the start, in order to protect it against accidental
    erasure.  If you do that, please include an auto spell check prior to
    saving any individual entry.
    Any features feel like 'must haves' related to cloud workflows?  No, I
    think of the cloud as another archival or backup location, perhaps because
    we do not use it.  Our IT manager considers it too expensive at this time.
    If there is functionality that I am unaware of, I'd be interested in
    learning what it is.
    Feel free to ask additional questions.  Also, if you are willing I may
    send some to you when I start working with the program.
    Thanks,

  • Bridge (& Prelude & Media Encoder) included in a Premiere-only account?

    Hi!
    I have a full CC account myself, but for a client of mine, I'm looking into different accounts. A production company I work for, is going to make the transition to Adobe CC. Because I have years of experience using it, they have asked me to oversee the operation. Now, as they don't need the full CC for all their workstations, I was thinking to install Premiere-only accounts on some of their sets. On the master workstation, there will be a full CC account so that After Effects and Photoshop and everything else are available, but on the others there only has to be Premiere Pro installed.
    But are programs like Bridge, Prelude and Media Encoder available in a Premiere-only account? I can imagine it would be Premiere Pro + support programs. But there is no info on that to be found. Can anyone say something about this?
    Thanks, Bart

    Installing just Premiere will probably no problem. Have had setups like that on several machines, and it never was a problem. Less possibilities, that's true, but for editing it works just fine.
    Before CC, Bridge was a 'free' program you could download if you had Photoshop, Premiere or something else. AME indeed came with the production bundle, but you could use it on as many machines as you liked, without a license. The same with Bridge, you didn't need a license. Since it became part of CC, I never bothered anymore on my own sets. But now, for the situation mentioned above, I'd like to know if I can still use bridge as 'complementary' feature for archiving footage...

  • Premiere Pro/Prelude CS6 not working with AVCHD from Canon HF G10

    I just tried switching from Final Cut Pro 7/X to Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and have not been able to get Premiere Pro or Prelude to work with AVCHD footage from my Canon HF G10.  The system runs Mac OS X 10.7.4 on a 3.4 GHz quad-core iMac with 16GB of RAM and 10Gbit/s Thunderbolt RAID for video storage.   Adobe Updater ran yesterday and installed CSXS infrastructure updates which did not fix the problems.
    After importing several short (less than 5 minutes each) 1080p30 clips into Premiere Pro, I can scrub over the first few seconds of a clip but afterwards it stalls or mixes in frames from the beginning of the clip.    Rendering 30 seconds of video does not complete in reasonable time, i.e. takes more than 5 minutes.   I figured I would try ingest the footage with Prelude and am running into the same problems.   Scrubbing does not work, only the first few seconds from a clip are available.     When configuring Prelude to transcode on ingest, I am getting "Import XMP failed" errors.   I already spent several hours trying to figure this out.   In the meantime, I finished the project using Final Cut Pro X :-\
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Niels.

    Any chance this gets fixed soon?  I'm shooting with an AF-100, and at this point I'm still using Final Cut to transcode my footage so I can have audio.  I've also noticed the video jumps around even when it does have audio.  Prelude has been extremely problematic for me, and it doesn't have a way to bring in clips that returned errors upon importing, I have to write down the clip numbers and bring them in individually.  I've also tried just dropping the file structure from the card straight to the hard drive.  It's a huge problem, and is keeping me from making the switch fully from FCP 7.
