Bad audio recording

Hey there,
Strange problem with Captivate 1.01, that's happened on two
different PC with different microphones.
Was working with a file and adding/recording new audio for
some slides .. all working well then without warning every time I
recorded the audio it’s recorded noise..
Worked ok, moved to next slide press record and no go (no
settings changes, <30secs later).
If I record audio with screen capture it works fine .. loud
and clear … add audio after, no love…
Re-installed application, audio drivers, purchased a new
mic… and still, records ok if capture both, but not if I only
record audio alone. (and it worked before now doesn't, again no
settings changed)
??? any one had the same problem..

Hello Paul,
In this first instance I would suggest that you export the
audio files that contain noise and listen to them using Windows
built-in sound recorder applet - Sound Recorder, to do this follow
these steps:
Exporting Captivate audio
1. Choose Audio > Advanced audio...
2. Select the file(s) you want to export (to select multiple
fies hold down the Ctrl key)
3. Click Export
Playing the audio files.
1. Choose Start > Programs > Accessories >
Entertainment > Sound Recorder
2. File > Open
3. Browse to select the desired file and click Open
4. Press the Spacebar.
Can you still hear just noise? Also did you record the audio
using Captivate's built-in audio recorder or did you use a
third-party application?
Regards,
Mark

How do I fix bad Quality audio recording in Captivate 4

I am having trouble recording decent quality audio in Captivate 4.
What is happening is after I do the screen and audio recording when I play it back the audio is choppy.
It also kind of sounds like the audio is quickly echoed and then clipped.
Finally this clipping and choppiness seems random when it happens.
I tested this by recording 5 minutes of the demonstration (which recorded with only 1 glitch in the beginning).
When I just recorded the second half when I played it back in Captivate it was very choppy again throughout the audio making the complete session unusable.
I am doing full motion recording of an application at 1024x768. I have tried all audio recording bitrates and have even gone up to 128kbps 16bit mp3.
I am using a high quality Audio-Technica AT2020 USB microphone.
I am running Windows Vista Service pack 2 fully updated with 4GB of memory on an Intel xeon W3503 2.4Ghz in 64 bit mode.
I have installed the latest patch update http://www.adobe.com/support/captivate/downloads.html 4.4.0.1 hoping that it waould solve the audio bugs to no avail.
Please let me know what else I may need to do to get Captivate 4 working like it should.
Are there any other settings or tests I should perform to get audio recording working.
Why would I even want to pay for Captivate 5 if Captivate 4 has worked so randomly for me.
Using 3rd party software like Audacity and even Adobe Soundbooth seems absurd when Captivate has audio recording built in.
For the time being I have gone back to Camtasia on another system because it actually seems to work but need to get Captivate working on my own system.

Try "Rapid Recorder" from store....it works well.

Is Logic Pro the Best Audio Recording Software for Mac?

Couple questions. I do a lot of audio production and work currently. I use a gateway with Cubase, and its not bad, but I feel like I need something mroe high end.
I'm looking at the 17 inch Imac. Does anyone record using this computer? How's it sound? Is there any way to put in a new soundcard or something if i don't like the current one?
Secondly, is logic pro the most advanced and best audio recording software for the mac? Are there others as well?
I know about Pro Tools, but it seems like there isn't anything high end enough that is TOO high end.
Does the Pro version have superior mixing capabilties. I am primarily going to be micing a guitar amp and having a mixer run into a firewire port, and also using a preamp for my guitar direct into the computers USB.
Lastly, how are the mixing features on Logic Pro vs. Logic Express? I do a lot of post production mixing as well, and use VST plugins. Speaking of that, will it accomodate using a drum program like BFD through VST or Midi like Cubase will?
Thanks for your time guys.

Yes, you do indeed need sth more high end.

to put in a new soundcard or something if i don't
like the current one?
It's not an iMac, but a faithful PowerBook G4 that I am using. Apples Core Audio is awesome. Your sound, however, will depend on your interface.
Secondly, is logic pro the most advanced and best
audio recording software for the mac? Are there
others as well?
That's why we are here, and that's why you ended up in this forum as well
To me personally, Logic sounds warmer and bigger than any ProTools system I've ever heard. From what yopu described as the work you need to do, there is no comparable application. Logic also offers you many more features above and beyond what you currently need to do.
I know about Pro Tools, but it seems like there isn't
anything high end enough that is TOO high end.
Everybody is using PT, and you should maybe get a Light Edition version of it. However, as stated above, Logic offers by far more possibilities.
Does the Pro version have superior mixing
capabilties. I am primarily going to be micing a
guitar amp and having a mixer run into a firewire
port, and also using a preamp for my guitar direct

For your purpose, Logic does have superior mixing capabilities. In my humble opinion, only the popularity of PT made it become the choice of studios and engineers, but things are turning...
Lastly, how are the mixing features on Logic Pro vs.
Logic Express? I do a lot of post production mixing
as well, and use VST plugins. Speaking of that, will
it accomodate using a drum program like BFD through
VST or Midi like Cubase will?
If you do post production mixing, forget about Logic Express altogether and go for Logic Pro. LP will accomodate tons of plug-ins, and it comes with a bunch of great one's as well!
The format for the plug-ins is called A(udio) U(nit) and works flawlessly. Many VST plug-ins are also available in AU format and the development of those is moving fast forward.
In other words, yes, you will be able to use BFD in Logic by means of the AU format.
Thanks for your time guys.
You're welcome.

8 bit error- My audio recording is completely silent!

I made an audio recording on garage band. Before the recording was finished, there was an error that said that the audio was too long to play in real time, and so when I played the audio back, it played very slowly and in a very deep voice. After a little while, garage band stated that the file was not supported and that there was an 8 bit error. Now, I can't hear anything, and a lot of the recording is missing.
What do I do?

I've tried multiple firewire cables and tried both firewire ports for each and still my audio interface does not show up as a connected sound output device in system preferences. The manufacturer tech I've been speaking with has determined that the drivers are up to date and there is not a problem in that regard.
Could the firewire port itself have gone bad?

Hello! Newbie with PROBLEMS! Audio recording majorly DELAYED?!?!?!?? help?

Hello there! I LOVED Logic 7, was very happy to get Logic 8. Then I installed Leopard. Now Logic is F'ed up. At first I had the Coremidiserver not responding issue. I deleted those MIDI drivers as well as Reason and my Melodyne rewire and bridge plugins. But when I want to do an Audio recording, Logic freezes, I get the rainbow death wheel for 60 seconds, and THEN it starts recording. It is really bad for creativity to have to wait to get the audio track to record. Does anyone know what could be going on or how I can fix it? I am using an Mbox2. I have the Line6 Toneport, but that is not working although it works for my boyfriend who has the same computer, logic 8 and leopard. I'm confused!!! what should i do? Can genius bar help me? Sorry for sounding neurotic, I'm just really anxious to make music an d not have all these technical issues! Thank you VERY VERY much for any advice.

Are you recording to a macBook Pro internal hard drive? or to an external drive?
How much memory do you have?. The delay of 60 sec before recording is not normal. Your computer is checking something else, or is forced to do another task before executing the command of recording
logic 8 need a lot of memory the absolute minimum is 1 GB of Ram but 2 GB or more is highly recommended.
best of luck

Spinning wheel when audio recording

when i attempt to audio record onLogic 9 i get the spinning wheel and have to wait about ten seconds before record engages, regardless of buffer size; No other programs (digital performer or ableton live) have this problem on my computer (imac 2.6 dual; new;) other people making same complaint but update dosen'taddress this; messing up my business; what to do

Having the same problem too. It seems to take even longer when the singer or guitarist is in the room.
Very embarrassing. I have been going back to 7.2 for overdubbing until I sort it out.
I'm thinking that because I'm on a new terra drive it's paving the way for a millennium of space each time I hit record. It says there are 536 minutes recording time remaining. This is a great feature to be able to turn off.
I'm still trying things. I've noticed it the worst (i.e. longest waiting time) when the song had a lot of instrument plug-ins. It's not so bad at the moment on the current song with no one in the room. Only 2 secs when doing a test record. The same song took up to 10 secs to start recording when the guitarist was here yesterday!
More importantly, does anyone know how to set the record time to i.e.5 minutes like we can do in 7.2?
Any ideas would be most appreciated.

Why is my audio recording that has been burnt to CD-R not playing on other audio equipment - its says no file or cant play.

Why is my audio recording that has been burnt to CD-R not playing on other audio equipment - its says no file or cant play.
What is the correct steps for burning the CD. I followed the help guide and done excatly what is said.
Can someone please help?
Thnks.

did you burn it as a CD for audio CD players....or as a data disk? big difference.
Also could be the media type (seen that issue endless times)....... try a diff. CD media. There are countless burn layers and CD blank media, no player or burner on earth can read or write to them all.
burn another blank CD to make sure it wasn't a bad CD,.......reject ratio on bad CD and DVD is about 5-15% depending on type.
Ive burned enough reject DVD and CD to fill a house

No Stereo audio recording in HD video recording.

Hi,
I have Nokia 701.
It's too bad that there is no true stereo audio recording while HD video recording.
Though in specification it is given that there are two microphones for stereo recording.

I was right there with you. I posted early on in this thread and was working with tech support on the phone. We worked for a few days and it was like I was having to do too much work on my end. Nothing was working and they were so busy. Someone else posted that they took theirs back and it was an easy swap. I had already made an appointment at the apple store as a backup so I decided to drive the 50 miles. It was so easy....the guy really did not care too much about me working with support. He just tried a restore and was able to repeat the issue. Not saying that all stores are like that but I have had very good results with other apple products and getting support at the genius bar. Good luck...but you may be waiting a while. Seems that the hot topic for them is really the "reception" issue.

How Much External Hard Drive Partition Recommended for Audio Recording?

Hi,
I have a glyph 300 gigabyte drive. Does anyone have thoughts on how to partition it? I was thinking 200 gb for samples, etc and 100gig for recording audio? Is that too much or too little for recording audio? Or should I use all 300 gigs for audio recording. I also want to do video editing in FCP eventually.
Thanks

Okay...There are 3 guys and each has a basket full of marbles. The 1st guy has a basket full of red marbles, the second guy has a basket full of blue marbles, and you have a basket full of red and blue marbles. All three of you have your left hand tied behind your back. You are in competition with the other two guys, you are on your own and they work as a team. Someone starts shouting give me 3 reds and 2 blue marbles. You reach in your basket and grab 3 reds and 2 blues as fast as you can, but the other guys are way ahead of you because there are 2 of them and they each only have to worry about grabbing one color of marble at a time. So you lose the contest badly... that is why you need at least
2 hard drives instead of just one (whether partitioned or not). Buy an external firewire drive. you'll be glad you did.

No audio recording

System: XP64 + 8GB RAM on P5W DH Deluxe + Q6600
Audio: Audigy platinium Ex
Drivers: last 2.8.00
Working: Audio output in applications and games
Problem:? no Audio recording (well it records silence)
Note:
-If I use Mumble (kind of audio conferencing soft like TeamSpeak) that can use ASIO to do audio capture, then it works... (using the same soft, if I try to capture "the normal way" without ASIO, then I get no sound...)
-This is not a problem of bad mixer setting... I tested everything before posting... I'm not that stupid... Thx

I remember that once I searched about ASIO... I don't remember what I did... I wanted to activate it...
I'm not sure about what I found:
-nothing to do to use ASIO (in that case, I have no explanations)
or
-I found something, did it and now I can only use ASIO...
(and I can't find what I did to undo it...)

How can I copy an audio recording in Skype?

I have an audio recording of one of my contacts on Skype.
Can you tell me if there is a way to copy this recording to my hard drive and if so how?
Can I do it with MP3 Skype Recorder 4.11 and if so how? Where would it be recorded to if I can do it this way?
Any help with this will be really appreciated
HB

I already have a Skype recorder for any incoming or outgoing Skype or telephone calls. I use MP3 Skype Recorder for that. What I'm trying to achieve is different.
I have an existing voicemail message in Skype itself from one of my Skype contacts. It is this voicemail message that I want to save to my hard drive somewhere so there is no chance of me losing it in Skype itself.
I right clicked on the recording and there is an option in the context menu to 'Copy Message.' I clicked on this but I don't know where to save it to on my hard drive so I can play it whenever I want from there as a file.
I would also like to know if there is any way to change this voicemail message to another file format to play on my hard drive.
Can anybody help me with this scenario please?
Thanks

Why doesn't Apple supply a simple audio recording app with the iPad? (Garage Band is not simple app)

I am going to be teaching an integrated media production course in the spring semester (creating an online college newspaper) and I want the students to use mini iPads to create images, videos and sound clips. Images and video, no problem. Easy to move to our iMacs in the lab for editing and inclusion in a college newspaper web site. On the other hand, audio is a mess. Sure, I can have them shoot video, import the video into Final Cut on the iMacs and then use Final Cut like an audio editor, but that is pretty lame. They could download Garage Band but that would require all the students to have iTunes accounts, which is a real pain. And moving audio recording made with Garage Band to the iMac is a real drag and way too much work. Why the **** can't Apple include a simple audio memo program in the basic iPad app setup? This is really old school stuff that was on computers way back when. Using Garage Band for that simple function is like swatting flies with a sledge hammer.

What version of Premiere Elements and on what computer operating system?     Elements 13 on Windows 7
What is the brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded these videos?        ony PMW 320
When you import them into your Premiere Elements project, what does Premiere Elements Properties for that import give for
the audio description in the way of number of channels? If you open the Audio Meter (Window Menu/Audio Meters) and you play back
the video in the Premiere Elements Editor, how many channels does the Audio Meter display?
I just drag and drop video and when playing back only channel 1 will appear
What is your intended export for this video in terms of audio as well as video compression and formats?    MP4
I think you can only use audio if it's recorded on channel 1 or it does not recognize it.
Thanks for the help if possible,Kevin416 873 8374

Audio recording no longer works in Cap5 -- Ideas?

I created a presentation and recorded audio in multiple ways (Audio -- record to -- slide) (Audio icon in task bar).
Yesterday, I opened Captivate and these two options no longer worked. I don't mean that I cannot record. I mean that I cannot reach the screen in the software that allows you to record.
Recording in general works fine -- I can record to Audacity. So it's not a Windows (XP) problem or an input problem or a hardware problem.
Everything else works in Captivate.
Audio from previously recorded slides plays. I just cannot record. After using either option above, Captivate freezes and I need to click Esc to unlock.
I know, that's weird. If you don't believe me, look here. Let me know if you see me doing anything wrong while you're at it.
http://screencast.com/t/0fsLsR5Lh
So, I did what anyone faced with a weird isolated software problem would do. I reinstalled Captivate. Today, same problem.
HELP? Any ideas? I'm making final edits on my project, there is a deadline, etc. etc.

First thing to try is clearing the Cache using the button in Preferences.
If that doesn't resolve the issue, you can try closing down Captivate and deleting the Preferences folder itself.
On Xp it's located at: C:\Documents and Settings\<USER NAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Captivate 5
Captivate will recreate this folder next time it starts up, but any Preference settings you've made will be lost.
Also, make sure you've installed all updates and patches.
