Cannot hear audio when capturing video.

I'm an owner of a skate shop. I doing filming frequently, and just recently got my first Mac computer. I got FCE4 for capturing and editing my footage for a video that I'm working on. Just started using it today, have no idea how to get the audio to play WHILE I'm capturing the tape. It will play in the timeline after it's done capturing, but I'd like to be able to hear it (without plugging in headphones or speakers to the camera) while I'm capturing it. A friend told me it could possibly be an easy fix... any suggestions? Is it something as easy as checking or unchecking a box????

No easy fix as Tom relates.
Does your camera have a small built in speaker?
That will work if the volume is turned up.

Cannot hear audio from internet video. Can hear DVD. I don't know what I changed in msconfig start up.

Hi,
The first thing I would suggest is to run through the guide by Daniel_Potyrala on the link below to completely uninstall and then reinstall the Flash Player Plug-in.

A way to adjust audio when capturing video?

I transfered some video/audio and am having distortion in some audio.
The original audio does not peak and when I captured it in Premiere CS6, it is not peaking out, but when I play back, I can hear occasional distortion. The video is up at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNNgJiZMrRA
Does this sound like it is overmodulating or is something else happening?
Is there a way to adjust audio when capturing audio or is it a straight feed? Wondering if I can lower the audio input to try to fix.
thanks in advance for your help,
Charlie

How are you capturing the content? Because in my experince premiere doesn't have a way to adjust the audio levels of what your capturing. However if you post how you are capturing the footage in more detail I might be able to help. Please tell me exactly how you have everything hooked up.
For example if you have the camera hooked straight to the computer or if you're using a capture card if so what kind. Some capture cards have audio gain settings which might be causing the issue. Also some decks and cameras have audio playback volume settings which can also cause audio to be sent to premiere louder than what it started as. So if you give more detail I may be able to offer some sort of help.
One thing you might try though to remove that distortion is too add a lowpass filter to the audio, and start off by setting the low pass filter to like 3000 and just adjust by 500 up or down from there until the distortion goes away. I've had to do this in the past with audio that's distorted before. (Although I haven't experinced the specific issue you're experincing before.) Although it will make the persons voice sound muffled it will take most of the distortion out. Which getting rid of distortion at the cost of making it sound somewhat muffled is a decent trade off if worse comes to worse and you can't get the issue figured out.

Hearing the audio when Capturing video

You folks are the best. My new question deals with capturing video. I can only hear the audio if i go th the clip settings and check the audio box. I know there is a way to have that automaticly happen every time I capture. I am baffled. I have tried to find a way in all the set up things and can't. What have I done or what am I doing wrong? It did it in my other Mac, until I updated.
Do I have to check that box every time?
Thanks, Jon Kessler
PS: i tried to find out about it in the manual but had no luck.

Had question answered by my Apple care guy

Is there a way to mute audio when capturing video?

I have the FCPX installed and want to background capture video without listening to the audio. There was a small preview checkbox with the audio meteres in FCP 7. Is there a similar option in FCPX?

Yea, that certainly works, but it doesn't let me do anything else that requires listening to audio.

No audio when capturing from vcr using canopus100

When I log and capture, the video is there, and the audio tracks "show up", however, the audio cannot be heard during capture (previewed), nor is it heard when I export the movie using QuickTime conversion.
I exported the file as a QT movie and played it back in QT, and of course, no audio.
Which switch have I not thrown here?
Thanks
JD

OK, I suppose it would help to know the details to provide a proper analysis of the situation.
1) Canopus 100 is connected to vcr through the s-video input, and the audio is going in through the standard mini-jack interface.
2) FCP Capture Settings are:
Device Control: Non-Controllable Device
Capture/Input: DV NTSC 48 KHz Copy
Scratch Disk Free Space = 852.3 GB
3) The audio tracks "show up" when I do a capture...meaning, there are 2 tracks placed in the timeline. I can view some audio activity in the Waveform Monitor, but I do not actually hear any audio.
On that note, audio plays fine when capturing video from my Sony PD150.
Also, when using the same set up with the Canopus using iMovie, the audio previews, captures, and plays back just fine.
Thanks again. Any additional info needed just let me know. I really appreciate it!

Final Cut Express: No audio when capturing from camcorder

When capturing video from my "Sony TRV 18" digital camcorder and a Canon ZR500 digital camcorder
into Final Cut Express 4.0.1 via fire wire to my scratch disk - a LaCie external hard drive -
I get the video in my browser but it has no accompanying audio.
When I move a captured clip from the browser to the viewer and time line, the video shows up, but (1) there is no accompanying audio shown in the audio time line, (2) no audio can be heard and (3) the audio meters show no action.
My Easy Setup settings for audio match my camera audio settings.
I've used different firewires between the camera and the scratch disk. Still the same.
This has been a problem for about a month. Everything worked fine before. To make project deadlines, I have worked around this anomaly by capturing clips in IMovie 4 on my older Mac laptop than transferring the media clips to my Final Cut Express scratch disk. That works, but it is time consuming and requires rendering of all the audio.
I use an IMac with OSX 10.6.5 with 266 GHz intel Core i5.
Thank you in advance for any tips that could help.

Hi Sid
I get the video in my browser but it has no accompanying audio.
YES - This is the way FinalCut Express AND Pro works !
If You need the audio - Then You connect a small set of speakers to Your miniDV Camera
(headphone out)
alt. if no phono-out on Camera is to connect a small TV to the Camera analog way
and here You can both see and hear during Capture
(BTW - Connecting a small TV (or if §§§§§ is no problem a reference monitor
§5-10,000 or even more) is a Very good way of keeping Quality control during
editing process. Eg Transitions, audio levels, color fidelity etc. I do and the
ref monitor are well compared to my final DVDs.)
There are NO WAY that You can monitor audio during Capture in any FinalCut versions !

Selecting microphone when capturing video from the webcam

Using Final Cut Pro X
I want to capture video from my webcam into Final Cut. I have a USB microphone (Yeti) with which I want to record the audio. I cannot find an option to select my input source for audio when capturing this footage. Final Cut seems to default to my microphone on my webcam, which causes echoing and noise. I can select the USB mic when doing a voiceover, but when I capture video I cannot find an option to select my input. I've made my USB mic my default device in Sys Prefs, but that doesn't work. Any other ideas?
Options
1. Figure out how to change the default input for webcam capture in Final Cut
OR
2. Use another program. I've also tried to do the same in both QuickTime and iMovie, and they both capture audio only from the webcam as well.
Everything I've found online talks about voiceover. I don't want that. I want to capture video with it.
Suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks. Don't know why I didn't see it. That arrow is pretty small.
I do still have an issue that I cannot figure out. I'm using the same mic for webcam recording (now in QT thanks to Luis) and in Final Cut for voiceovers. Though I'm still on the same Mic the sound is not the same. It's close, but the sound on the voiceover sounds cleaner and clearer. I'm sitting in the same spot speaking the same way, but the sound quality difference is noticable. Not sure why.
It seems that the difference is in how each software deals with it.
It may be that QT is sampling audio differently from FCP X somehow, or using a different audio codec or whatever.
Just guessing, I really have no concrete knowledge.
Oh, wait: there are a few things that I can notice, after trying a small example: the QT audio is AAC at 44.1 KHz,
the FCP X is AIFF at 48KHz. Compression and sample rate are different.

SETTING to hear AUDIO while CAPTURING?

Hi...
(another) silly settings question.
How can I hear audio while capturing from my HDV deck?
When capturing from a DV device (a camera), the 'preview' box enabled me to monitor the audio from the tape while either screening it or when capturing it.
I don't see that 'preview' box as an option in the HDV log and caputure window.
Although I'm capturing audio from the HDV source, I can't hear it while it's loading. It's a little annoying as I'd like to be able to hear the tape as a way to decide if it's even worth capturing.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark

We're here all week, try the liver.
I've always been a believer in monitoring in the signal chain. Granted I don't work much with HDV-- but monitoring what is going into and out of the computer, rather than relying on the computer's built in audio seems to be the way to go. Then you know what's coming off the tape, and what's going back down to the tape.

Cannot hear audio on playback

Got a bug report for you here I think. I have multiple clips in a timeline, some clips I can hear audio, other clips I cannot hear audio. I have been using Premiere Pro for 10 years. So, you can skip the questions like, "is the track turned on", or "is it one side of the channel that's not playing". what I can tell you is that it's random. Sometimes the audio comes through, sometimes it doesn't (on the same clip). There are wave forms for the audio in the timeline. And not matter what audio track I put it on, it doesn't fix itself. And like I said, it's random. So, a clip works fine one time, then later when I'm going over the same clips, I can't hear audio on it. Any ideas?????

Check your audio driver.

Iphone 5S IOS8 - quality of audio when taking video?

The biggest disappointment with the 5S was the TERRIBLY distorted audio when taking videos of live music or loud events. The 4S didn't feature the front mic and therefor sound was passing by perpendicular to the mic and it would not be as "hot" of a signal.
I have not one but two external mice I use when I plan*** on taking video but living in a city with tons of music I am not always prepared with an external mic. Taking video with IOS7 with the 5S is useless if the audio source is above 85db or so.
Can anyone who has upgraded IOS on the 5S confirm that they have corrected the software for the mic sensitivity for a 5S? My buddy has the 6 and his live videos of music do NOT distort.
Thanks!

Hello AudioArchist,
Does the issue of recording videos still not get any sounds? If so, take a look at the article below to troubleshoot the issue further. Now it may be hard to give the exact reason why that happened, but the article should assist with getting it fixed.

Cant hear audio when I scrub

How to hear audio when I scrub in project library. Cant hear any sound when I scrub. I do when it plays back I move9

Scrubbing or 'skimming' as Apple calls it is controlled by a button on the Toolbar in iMovie:
The button on the left hand side is an audio waveform with a red-line drawn through it. This indicates skimming is turned off. To turn it on you just click it and the skimming feature will return.

I can hear the caller, but they cannot hear me when I use the speaker function on my iPhone4. Are there any fixes?

Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device. Try each of these steps until your problem is solved. If these steps fail to solve your issue, then you'll need to bring your phone into Apple (or an authorized service provider in your area) for evaluation.
