Camera mic audio

I have some audio that a boneheaded co-worker of mine shot with the camera mic enabled, instead of the lavalier.  Does anybody know of any settings (a preset, perhaps?) in something like Soundtrack Pro or Logic that I can use to fix this?  I'm not having too much luck with the general EQ.   Also,  the bad audio clip is going to used next to a correctly recorded audio clip, so, right now, the difference is extremely noticeable.
Thanks!

I finally ended up EQing it as best I could...I wish there was a preset that was something like "an idiot recorded this...so now this program will fix it"...thanks for the help!

  • Audio (music from camera mic is not matching}

    Hi All
    I have the Sony dsr 300a I record music from a party on the my camera mic ch1 .Than I got the song from my Itunes libary same song and lenght . I laying the song on track A2 A3 in fcp having A1 camera mic audio it snyns up for a few secs than goes out of sny or flows out from the camera mic audio that was comming from the party/dj .I do bring in from Itunes in at 48k ??

    Why would you expect to remain in sync? Unless the music at the party was played back with a timecode-driven device, and then you used that same music cue, WITH TIME CODE, to bring into your show, you'll never have total sync.
    Not to mention that I'll bet you don't have sync rights to use the song...

  • Best fcp preset AUDIO FILTER for camera MIC--?

    Hi.
    Trying to improve the sound quality on some footage that was recorded in an auditorium using the on-board camera mic.....the levels are low to begin with, and the room has quite a hollow sound....
    Just wondering which of the presets may be best for helping this sound...
    Thanks....

    In agreement with DH - I've had this problem before and have tried to remedy it with little success.
    You could fiddle around with a noise gate. To increase the volume, duplicate the audio track in the timeline.
    Good luck and make sure the sound is recorded properly next time, monitoring with a decent set of headphones - I have a pair of Sennheiser HD-25 - not inexpensive but used by a lot of camera ops and sound recordists.
    Don't rely on the on-board camera mic - they tend to be omni directional and capture all sorts of unwanted ambient sound - the audience coughing, sneezing, f**ting, babies crying etc (unless its a Metallica gig...). Depending upon the circumstances., use an external mic or go through the mixing desk.
    I think you'll have to mark it zero dude (or at least put it down to experience.) if you're unable to re-record.

  • Camera mic?

    Hi,
    I have a logitech mic with the standard pink plug, which I've learned is apparently incompatible with the G5.
    So I'm wondering if there's someway I can use my camera's mic as a mic until such time as I purchase a USB mic of some sort. I know the camera mic works fine for capturing live audio in Quicktime and FCP. Is it possible to use the camera mic as a "plain old mic" as well? If so, how? I can't seem to figure it out. Maybe it's just too late...
    Thanks!

    What kind of camera do you have, and how does it attach to the G5?
    Plug it in, turn it on (if it has a power switch), go to System Preferences, Sound, Input, and see if it's auto-detected as an input source. If so, you should be able to record sound from it.

  • Best on camera mic solutions

    Hi everyone, this is just a post to start a discussion on the best on camera mic solutions for the FS7. Myself I am looking into several options: Sennheiser ME64 K6 Combo: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/73098-REG/Sennheiser_ME64_K6_COMBO_ME64_K6_Cardioid_Mic.html Audio Technica AT875R: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/495302-REG/Audio_Technica_AT875R_AT875_Short_Condenser_Shotgun.html Audio Technica AT2022: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/761016-REG/Audio_Technica_AT2022_AT2022_X_Y_Stereo_Microphone.html Sony ECM 957Pro: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/542166-REG/Sony_ECM_957PRO_ECM_957PRO_Mid_Side_Stereo_Microphone.html Octava MK 012: http://www.oktava-online.com/mk012.htm Any opinions on the above or others mics? Thank you in advanced for contributing to this thread. And all the best for 2015!Nils  

    I love the Octava  and use it for interviews  as a "poor man's schoeps ", but its no good as an on camera mic. Too sensitive to noise, handling and wind and not directional enbough. The AT 875 as I understand it is derived from the traditional Sony mono  camera on Broadcast cameras for years and years. Thus its basically designed for that purpose and deals with handling and wind noise very well. Its just about as directional as you want , and is not bad sounding at all.  i use an old Sony camera mic, but my understanding is the 875 is the same thing. I'm sure there may be better mics out there but you won't go wrong with teh AT. I hate the senn 64 series - but what do I know I'm just a shooter.  hey - what the heck are those little  music labels under our names - Top 40, groovin, etc ?????

  • SWFLoader in Air can't access Camera/Mic?

    I have a Flex swf file I'm loading into an Air 1.5 app that does a video chat. Flex app standalone in a browser works fine, but when loaded into the Air app  by SWFLoader, it can not stream cam/mic. logging shows it successfully connecting streams and running localVideo.publish(name).
    Is this a security issue or something that is going make me cringe?
    Really need an answer, any help appreciated,
    Greg

    When loading SWFs inside a Flex/AIR app, you can see restrictions depending on how each SWF was compiled, and what resources it is trying to access.
    See these Flex Builder help sys pages, or LiveDocs for more info:

  • Can't get mic audio into PP CS5.5

    I'm trying to get PP to record audio from a mic. Everything is registering input including studio audio monitors and the mac's internal audio meters are bouncing, but nothing is registering in PP. Here is the setup:
    Shure SM58 xlr to dbx mic preamp xlr in. dbx xlr out to M-AUDIO Fast Track Pro xlr in.
    Fast Track Pro connected to mac pro via USB (directly, no hub)
    Studio Monitors are run off Fast Track Pro via 1/4 bal. lines.
    Prem. Pro Prefs audio hardware is set to Fast track pro
    Prem Pro audio mixer mic enabled on track two.
    Everything is registering audio except Prem Pro. the meters are dead.
    I was thinking about running unbalanced RCA Red/White audio out from the MA Fast Track Pro to the analog breakout cable inputs on the Mac Pro's internal Black Magic Intensity Pro card and seeing if that would work. Was thinking it had something to do with the Fast Track Pro being connected by USB.
    Final Cut Pro 7 registers the mic audio, but it's been End-of-Lifed, so don't want to use it anymore for any new post.
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hey J,
    I was wondering what your solution was? I actually just posted a new discusion on the forum about my issue, here it is.
    "Hello,
    I have been searching for answer for a while and have found none. My Microsoft LifeChat lx-3000 will not work with premiere pro. It does work on the mac, and in Final cut..but final cut is terrible and I would like to record in premier.
    Things I have done:
    1. gone to premier pro>preferences>audio hardwear
         - In this menu I selected the "Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000" as my default device
         - in the Audio mixer I changed "Audio 3" to "Touch" hit the Microphone button and nothing happened, when I switch the input to "built in" premier recognizes the built in mic and allows me to record using this...but that one sound really bad.
    2. I also went to Utilities>Audio Midi Setup
         - here I selected Premeir Pro cs5 and checked the box next to the "Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000" to indicate that Premier would use this device.
         - still does not work, and every time I open the Audio Midi Setup the box next to "microsoft LifeChat LX-3000" is unchecked....not sure why it wont save.
    I am at a lose, if anyone has any suggestions or has dealt with this problem i am all ears...if this has already been covered in another thread, point me in the direction!
    Thanks for your time everyone!!"
    Thanks,
    Willis

  • Will recording mic audio in mp3 codec be supported by FMS in the future

    I am newbb to flash. I am developping a mobile app for video chat using FL3. Then I realized that FL3.x only support mp3 streaming for now. So I turn to the server side and found that FMS3.5.1 doesn't support record or live mic audio in mp3. This causes a quite difficult situation. I am wondring if there's a solution/workaround for this? And mostly importantly, I am wondering if recording mic audio in mp3 is ever going to be supported. If anyone can answer this.

    Hi Bob,
    Regarding "when will flashplayer support mp3 encoding" ...
    Jay's lowdown is 100% correct.  And definitely don't hold your breath waiting  ;-)
    My sense is that internally Adobe fiercely guards against bloat in the size of the Flash Player installers.  Fiercely.
    But now they have AIR too.  And Acrobat.  (Both of which now include Flash Player in their current versions.)
    Personally, I would settle for MP3 encoding in AIR as a first step.  Plus, VP6 and H.264 in AIR.
    My sense is that the hurdle against bloat in the AIR installer size is dramatically lower.  And we definitely need these additional encoding capabilities built-in to some runtime.
    So, whenever you have a chance to lobby Adobe engineers or submit requests to their wishlist, just keep asking.

  • Using external mic (Audio Technica Pro 70) on MacBook Pro (2012)

    Hello, I am fairly new to the MacBook and not sure of many of its features. I need to use an external mic Audio Technica Pro 70 on my MacBook. I read in some forums that I just plug it into the headphone jack and change the settings via system preferences. When I tried to do this by going to Sound>Input I only see an option for the internal mic. Is there something I'm not getting or missing?
    Operating system: OS X Yosemite 10.10
    Thank you for your time.

    Hey AddiXtioN,

  • HD PowerShot camera whose audio for video of rock concerts is decent?

    Many years ago, I bought a Canon PowerShot SD870 IS Digital ELPH.  I loved the camera as it not only took good pictures, but the sound quality of videos I took of live metal and rock concerts was outstanding.
    Then, the camera broke after many years of good use.
    Since then, I have purchased several new PowerShot cameras only to find that the sound quality of the videos from live shows is awful.  The sound is severely distorted by procession instruments (bass and drums).
    Can anyone recommend an HD PowerShot camera whose audio for video of rock concerts is decent?  I don’t want a dedicated video camera.
    Thanks much -- Denis

  • Can I defeat my DV Camera's audio for a line in?

    Thanks in advance.
    I'm using a professional sound system and a Mini DV camera to record live acts. I want to use iMovie, but my (fairly cheap) video camera's audio has an auto level function that cannot be defeated. This makes running the audio through the camera unacceptible. I can't find a way to configure iMovie to record audio from the line in port instead of the firewire input from the camera.
    Can this be done? HELP!
    Thanks again,
    Doug Dye

    "..how hard is it to link the audio and video in iMovie?.."
    Easy; find a common starting point ..that's what the clap of a clapperboard was for.. ..such as a visible hit on cymbals, or just clap hands in front of a camera, then align that clap on the audio track with the sight of the same thing in the video track.
    "..Do you have experience with that?.." ..Yes.
    "..I'm just thinking that too many things can go wrong with the QuickTIme "New Movie Recording" feature.." ..Yes; the Mac may want to jot down quick "scartchpad" notes for itself, and may interrupt the QuickTime recording. How long can QuickTime record for before interrupting itself?
    ..Gotta go now: bedtime ..g'night!

  • Camera & Mic Settings by site

    Question -  In Flash 10.3, if I go into Control Panel in either XP or Win7, and set the Camera & Mic to ALLOW for a specific site, then does that get applied to all Windows user profiles?  So for example as different users log into Windows on the same machine and they launch or go to that site, is the microphone already set to "Allow" for them - because I already set it in Control Panel?   Or is it still profile specific and are they going to get prompted the first time they go to that site?
    So in essence, by allowing a site to use the Mic in the Global Settings in Control Panel, is that global for all users then who log into that machine?

    Hi kr00zn,
    Pat is (as usual) correct--I checked with a member of the engineering team, and received the following response:
    "Yes, currently the setting only applies to the current user account. It does not affect the Cam/Mic setting for all user accounts on the machine. If you want to affect settings for all user accounts, you should use the mms.cfg file."
    If you are interested in using the mms.cfg file to affect settings for all accounts on a particular machine, you can find information on how to do that at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide.html.
    Thanks,

  • HOW TO EasyDisabl​e CAM/Mic

    It's convenient to have integrated Camera/Mic on some Thinkpads. One suggestion for improved privacy here (or if it exists, please let me know. Thanks!)
    Scenario: Skype is working with Cam/Mic on. Skype (or other cam/mic software) crashes -- not too surprising on a Vista. Camera is left on with the green LED light on! The camera and mic will remain on until next reboot ...
    Concern: There is obvious privacy concern on such behavior. Is there an easy way to disable camera/mic, just like there is one button to disable wireless (for security and flight safety, for example).
    Thanks.

    mmmh I hope that this thread about solving the problem of the microphone which wouldn?t work under windows 7 might be helpful for some people...
