CAD u37 external mic causes PrE 13 to Crash

I just purchased a CAD u37 condenser mic for use with PrE 13. I am using a MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite 10.10.2. Each time I try to add a narration, PrE 13 crashes. It just immediately shuts down. I tried the CAD u37 with iMovie, and it works perfectly, so I know the microphone is working well. I have configured the settings in Apple as follows: System Preferences>Sound>USB;  and in PrE 13 as follows: Preferences>Audio>USB device. Can anyone help with this issue? Thanks.

There is no Transitions Adjustment dialog or other involved in this placement way.
Also, expand the Timeline content with the -+ slider above the Timeline so that you can see the transitions.
I did not bother to Timeline render after the transitions were applied so the orange line above each.
If you have the time, please give it another look. This principle should be the same with your Premiere Elements 13 Mac

  • Apogee duet with external mic pre amp

    Hi guys,, just a quick question. I already have a focusrite isa one preamp which i love using. Have just bought an apogee one which should be delivered in the next few days. Am wondering does anyone out there use external mic pres with the duet and how does it sound.
    I have heard reviews that the apogee mic pres are great so will vocals and giutars sound ok going through 2 preamps before my daw? Cheers in advance guys..

    Cheers for that. It was exactly the answer i was looking for. I could be wrong but im guessing the focusrite isa one would probably have slightly better preamps since its a specific product for that.
    Yes and no. Up to a point, you can sometimes say that yes, one preamp is better than another, especially when comparing cheap 'prosumer' gear like m-audio for example to something more respectable. But when there are quality components involved, it's never a simple matter of saying one is better than the other. For a start, different preamps interact differently with different mics, and then going beyond that, different combinations of mics and pres deliver different colour depending on the source material. So, once you're using quality gear, it really comes down to horses for courses. You might find that the Duet's preamp sound, combined with a certain mic you use, gets you a sound you prefer with say, a certain vocalist's timbre. Or in other cases, the focusrite might give you something nicer.
    This is why you find dozens of different preamps in the biggest studios.. if it were the case that one was just better than all the others, then logically they'd only have the best most expensive one.

  • Using External Mic/Headset

    I just bought an external microphone/headset for my iMac G5, because the fans are so loud, people talking to me, can't hear me over my fans.
    Well, they didn't work.
    Now, the first thing I thought wasn't a flaw in the head set, but my first assumption was a flaw in the iMac. Why? Because I've noticed in the past that apple doesn't do things that are obvious and that would make sence.
    Sure enough, the iMac G5 doesn't work with external mics.
    Now. My question: Has anyone been able to get a regular external mic to work with decent audio with the iMac G5 without spending any more money that a regular headset from walmart would cost? Or should I return this perfectly working headset because of Apple?

    Hello,
    That is a Line-in port.
    The operative word here is "Line"
    A "Line" in port expects "Line-Level" audio.
    Line-level audio is the level of audio you would find on the RCA jacks on your component stereo system's CD-Player, Tape Deck, etc.
    Two devices commonly need pre-amplification. Those are Microphones and Record Players / Turn-Tables.
    Neither of those devices provides a line-level audio signal. They both need to be pre-amplified first.
    Pre-Amplified computer microphones are getting harder to find. But, they are available.
    A pre-amplified microphone will have it's own power source (such as a set of AAA batteries). And, it will amplify the signal prior to sending it to the computer.
    Don't make the mistake of purchasing a microphone that claims to be "amplified" and does not contain it's own power source. That is not the same thing. Rather it is a rather loose use of the term Amplified. I've seen lots of so-called "Amplified" Mic's that did not contain any form of booster at all.
    Make sure you purchase one that has it's own power source (such as batteries).
    Here is one example:
    http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=24501
    Or, if you use a regular Microphone like the one you have, you can purchase a "pre-amplifier". This is simply a small powered signal booster that plugs-in between your computer and the microphone. It will amplify the signal to "line-level" before sending it to the computer.
    Unfortunately, pre-amplifiers can be rather expensive for small ones, and rather large for the cheaper ones.
    If you are handy with electronics, here's a document on how to build your own pre-amp circuit:
    http://www.epanorama.net/circuits/micamp.html
    One external solution around $120 is this simple and compact pre-amp:
    http://www.microphones.com/microphonegroup.cfm?URLID=Preamp-Series
    There are several USB and FireWire solutions that are much cheaper.
    Such as:
    http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/imic/
    But, they sometimes cause a bit of "latency" in your recording. Simply put, if you were singing along with something or needed your speech to be synchronized, then the USB or FireWire audio method might cause a noticeable delay in your recording.
    If the only thing you are recording is your speech, then a bit of a delay in your recording probably would not be as noticeable.
    The reason you can use a cheaper Microphone with a PC, is that it actually has both a Line-Level jack and a Microphone specific jack. Older Mac's such as the G3's had both as well. But, the newer Mac's just have the Line-Level jack.
    Now, if you just want to use your existing Microphone, you could try using the Griffin iMic to make your current microphone work:
    http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/imic/
    It's about $40.
    But, if you are wanting a simple and self-contained solution, then you might just go with a USB microphone.
    Just keep in mind that you may have a bit of delay with a USB solution (either USB Mic or USB PreAmp) when you are speaking.
    I have not used these, but here is a couple of USB Microphone solutions:

    Let me know if you have other questions.
    I hope this helps.

  • How do I use an external mic with the iPad4?

    How do I connect an external mic to the new iPad4? Older models seem to have worked, but the lightning connector causes a lot of problems. I would like to use my Zoom H1 with my iPad4 and GarageBand. Any ideas? Thanks so much!

  • Using an external mic with a mac.

    I am trying to get an external mic to work with my MacBook. I have purchased a pre-amp which seems to work fine. I have tried to get my plantronics headset to work with the pre-amp but nothing happened when plugged in correctly. However, when I switched the plugs thinking I had them backwards, I was able to get a signal. I found the speaker in the headset was picking up the signal. In fact, it worked both with the preamp and without, although the signal was much fainter without the preamp. The preamp is designed for bringing up the signal to line lever for a mac.
    Is there something I am doing wrong?

    Hello Robert,
    I came up with the same problem last week and the Genius Desk and support have no answer. Furthermore, Plantronics is saying it's an Apple problem. The only clue Apple provides is to try the device on a non-Intel Mac to isolate it further. Have you tried this? I'm attempting to get to work using SKYPE but I don't know anyone with an older Mac.

  • IPhone 5 video w/ external mic doesn't work anymore. Why?

    Thanks for any help.
    We use the iPhone to shoot video for our business. We use an external microphone/s (Audio Technica ATR3350 & AZDEN WM Pro wireless) to shoot the video. An adapter is needed for the audio to be recorded correctly through the headphone jack. We've always used an adapter from KVconnection for the specific purpose of using an external mic.
    The above equipment has been used with the 4 & 4S for years - no issues. Audio was always loud and clear.
    Now - using the above equipment - the iPhone 5 records audio at approximately 40% of the iPhone 4 & 4S. Basically - the audio recorded when shooting video on an iPhone 5 can barely be heard.
    I've done troubleshooting with 3 differnet iPhone 5's & 2 iPhone 4's - all results are the same. KVconnection has done their research - it's not the adapter (I agree).
    My question:
    Does anyone know what has changed in the iPhone 5 that would cause low audio gain while shooting video with an external mic?
    Thanks again for the help.

    I've found the same issue. Using the iPhone 5s with the 1/8 adapter cable from kvconnection and an Audio Technica wireless lav mic, the volume is less than desireable and I haven't been able to get it up and higher. Not sure if another mic would help the problem or if that's just the way it is.

  • Need help recording with an external mic on garageband!!!

    I'm a singer and i'm trying to figure out how to record vocals on garageband with an external mic that can plug into the powerbook. However, when i record it uses the internal mic instead I have no clue how to change it so it will use the external mic. Please help!!!
    Thanks,
    Stef=)

    You HAVE to use a Mic that is powered! Just plugging a Mic into the Powerbook and switching the input to Line-in doesn't cause it to work.
    I believe Griffin Techologies makes an adapter that will work and there are some other one out there. Google powered mics and see what comes up.

  • External mic stopped working, but the built-in still does

    Most likely during one of the recent runs of pacman -Syu, something changed causing the external mic to record some quiet static regardless of actual input. If unplugged, the built-in mic kicks in and records fine.
    What can you guys recommend as steps for troubleshooting this? The mic works if I boot into Windows. Also tried running alsamixer and setting all volumes in Capture to max.
    This is on a HP dv7t-6100 Quad laptop.
    Thanks,
    Pav

    Replace the SIM with a working SIM from the carrier.
    If there are issues with the home button, take the device to Apple for evaluation.  All 5S's are still under warranty, unless they have suffered user damage.

  • An external mic that works with Mac? (without iMic)

    Recently I bought a Cyber Acoustics microphone so I could record audio easily and quietly for my upcoming YouTube videos. The only problem is I found out about how mics that need power wont work without the iMic accessory.
    So i was wondering, are there any guarenteed products that will work on an iMac for voice recording, without having to buy the iMic accesory? (And i dont want to use the internal mic as I dont want to talk to loudly to record)
    Please let me know any products that will work, please see if you can find reasonably priced ones, not ones above $70 please.
    Thanks,
    Smolter

    Greetings,
    Most microphones require amplification.  If you don't wish to purchase an amplifier, consider purchasing a microphone that goes direct to USB so amplification is built in:

  • Using an external Mic using XP on iMac

    Hi all,
    I'm having a big problem, conneting a pre-amplified sony mic running XP on my iMac the Realtek Audio system recongize only the incorporated mic and I don't know how switch the system to my external mic... (the mic works fine on OSX 10.6)

    So the various 'F2', 'Command-F7', etc, etc, didn't work. But I did find a simple solution: I used my Fiancé’s MacBook Pro that has an Ethernet port, connected via Command-k, and transferred about 40GB so far. Pretty painless, and I can get dthe data to one of my multiple-TB external drives from her computer. Using her computer hadn't entered my mind...
    Disappointing that I couldn't get the video out to work, but at least I'm getting the data off. I'm going to try the 'firewire/Target mode' idea later, when I need to erase the drive, etc.
    Thanks for the help!

  • External mic for out-door shooting

    When I'm shooting video out of doors, the mic picks up wind noise. How about an external mic?

    The only thing I can think of for you to experiment with would be a PC mic, you know those wand looking ones meant for VOIP meetings or calls. (Pre headset mics)
    Theoretically you can get 1/8th inch plugs for commercial microphones, but I doubt the iPad has the drivers and such to handle them. It should handle headsets however and maybe either a PC mic or a discreet headset (they have ones that fit behind the ears with the mic boom coming down by your cheek) would work.

  • External Mic Doesn't Work Pavilion dv6

    I've been trying to use an external microphone on my HP Pavilion dv6 with no success.  Here are my specs:
    HP Pavilion dv6t-6c00 Product #A1U60AV
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit sp 1
    IDT HD Audio Driver ver. 6.10.6381.0
    I've tried the the Windows Control Panel sound settings and the Beats Audio Control panel without success.
    I've updated the driver and seen no change in behavior.
    The laptop seems to recognize that a microphone has been inserted because the Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound -> Recording window "External Mic" icon info goes from "Ready" to "Default Device"  when the microphone is inserted but the gray bar never goes green and I'm unable to record any sound. 
    I've confirmed that the microphone works on another device.
    Any assistance will be appreciated.
    Thanks,

    I feel for you.
    Exactly the same thing has happened to my MacBook Pro, and it is SOOO annoying.
    My external mic has been working perfectly for over 4 months (that's how long I've owned the machine), and by co-incidence after the latest update from Apple (that I ran over the weekend, I've not updated for a while before this), the external microphone when plugged into the audio-in socket has stopped working.
    I can't believe that it is co-incidence that so many Mac users are having exactly the same hardware fault at exactly the same time (I've seen a few stories like this around the internet), so by conclusion I'm thinking it's the update potentially causing the fault.
    I've re-installed OS-X, and reset everything to ensure it's not a configuration issue. The only thing I can't do is roll back the firmware to the previous version, unless anyone knows how to do that?

  • External mic on Macbook running XP

    I'm trying to run an external mic while running XP. It doesn't seem to recognize it. For that matter, the built in mic doesn't seem to work either.
    Any ideas?
    I'm running Bootcamp, with XP Pro.

    What kind of mic that you use ? the usb mic or analog mic.
    Some mic require "preamp" to give some gaining from their signal in order to be "heard, played, or recorded".
    Browse some usb pre-amp / audio interface like mAudio or mBox for more information about the pre amp you need.
    And what audio software you use, and did you click the record button ready or monitor button ready for some audio software require that to be click and aim so the sound will go through, and did you see the waveform jumping on your audio software even if it is unheard ?
    Good Luck.

  • External mic help!

    Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone could refer some cheap external mics that are compatible with macs. I was looking at some on amazon and one said that macs need an alternate power supply for mics being used? Thanks for any help!

    Hopefully this will be generally useful for folks but the reason that the specify need for external power is that any mic plugged into the linein input on your Macbook needs to have a pre-amp.
    I only discovered this after plugging a standard logitech skype headset into the linein/out sockets using jacks supplied (kind of like I've done in the past on a PC) only to get no pickup from mic while bafflingly the headset worked fine.
    Solution turned out - after trawling the web - to be simple. Using the USB adaptor supplied I turned the logitech headset into a USB logitech headset as an input/output device and everything worked.
    It's one of those things you don't forget.
    Best

  • IPhone 6 External Mic not working for Siri/Dictation

    I am finding that the external mic on my iPhone 6 works for phone calls and voice memos, but does not work for Siri/Dictation.  When I plug in the earbuds, they work for everything (including Siri/Dictation).
    Was chatting to Apple support who had me reset all settings.  I thought that worked, but realized that after a reset, Siri is off and I was talking to "Voice control" (which works).  When I turned Siri back on, it does not work.
    I have two questions for the community to see if you can help:
    1- I have been assuming this must be a software problem since the mic does work for non-Siri access.  But is that true?  Is there a hardware component that Siri depends on which could be faulty here?
    2- If it is software, what action should I try to address it?  I have done a reset all settings already and that did not help.

    Hi, everyone.  I talked to Apple Genius at Apple Store last week, she said it should be a software issue and I needed to reset my iphone 6 plus as a new device and I can not use the backup restore from my iCloud, it was because the microphone bug or glitch can be in the backup also. Ok, followed her advice, erased all contents and set my iphone as a new device , the microphone worked for an hour, but went bad again.  I used "voice memo" app from Apple to test the microphone. It is the best tool since it doesn't involve any provider's network and it doesn't need another person's phone to listen and test.  If you can hear your voice recording clearly, then the mic works.  I tested it 3-4 times a day for a few days now, half of the time the mic doesn't work.  So, set as a new device isn't working. The issue is intermittent and it comes and goes as it likes, so very annoying. I carry my Apple EarPods with me in these past few days ust in case I need to make important phone calls.  Will need to go back to Apple Genius this weekend for sure.  Will give update after the weekend.
