Capturing 4 channel audio

Using Canon XL1s and recording to 4 audio channels. In previous versions of Premiere, I've used a Matrox card, and so I was able to capture the "2nd audio stream" when I captured the video from tape via firewire. How can I do the same thing in Premiere CS4 without the use of a Matrox card?

This is an ancient problem with Pr capture. As Jim said; use Scenalyzer to capture, which handles 4 ch audio just fine. Then it can be edited in Pr.

  • Capturing 4 Channels Audio

    Hi guys,
    I have the Canon XL2 and im recording 4 channels of audio to tape. I play it back on the camera and I can hear all 4 channels when I switch to 12bit 1/3,2/4.
    When I capture the footage in Premiere CS3 I can only import channels 1/2.
    Does anyone know how i can import all 4 channels at the same time? The camera mic uses channels 1/2 so i wouldnt mind import 1 or 2 and importing 3 or 4 at the same time.

    FAQ:How do I capture additional audio tracks available on my camcorder?
    Cheers

  • Capturing 4 Audio Channels - HDV???

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but it is NOT possible to capture 4 audio channels all at once in FCP?
    If this is this case, how do you go back and capture in another pass? Right now I can only capture the two channels that go along with the onboard mic, and not the channels that go with the XLR audio (in this case a Lav Mic.)
    I've tried to create a new capture preset, but it doesn't seem to work w/HDV.
    Should I try capturing the audio in a second pass using standard def? Would that work?
    Any thoughts would greattttttttttttly be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    As Thomas suggested in that thread, "Capturing Multiple Audio Channels", in chapter 20 of the the FCP User Manual is a great resource. But I'll break it down for you anyways...
    Here's how I capture 4-tracks of audio via Firewire with Final Cut Pro:
    Go to -
    Final Cut Pro Menu/Audio/Video Settings.../Capture Presets Tab
    Create two capture presets (1 set for the first two channels, the 2nd set for the last two channels and maybe one for all 4 channels mixed if you'd like)
    Select a Capture Preset and choose Edit then set which channels you'd like the preset to capture inside the Quicktime Audio Settings section of the Capture Preset Editor window. Make sure your device is plugged in and turned on or else the option will be greyed-out.
    Open the Log and Capture window in the Capture Settings tab and select which Capture Preset you'd like to use depending of which audio channels you'd like to capture.
    To make sure you're caturing 4-channels on your camera:
    Go To-
    Menu/Audio Setup/Audio Mode/ 12bit 1/2 , 3/4
    Throw the phones on and monitor the channels using the Audio Monitor button on the side of the camera. You can switch between monitoring the first 2, the second two, or all four channels at once. Remember if the camera is set to record 4 channels then it'll record 4 channels no matter what channels you're monitoring.

  • 4 channel audio capture

    Does final cut express cpautre 4 channel audio as i have to a use radio mic and the onboard mic, how does it appear on the timline .
    john
    camera..xl1s

    No, you cannot capture four channels. That was the question you asked. You can capture two channels. If you have one mic going into each of the two channels that make up the first pair you can capture them. Many cameras allow you to use 32k audio and record four channels, two stereo pairs. FCE will not capture the second stereo pair.

  • Unable to capture 2 audio tracks

    FCP refuses to capture 2 audio channels?! I have one mic on channel 1 and another mic on channel 2 but FCP captures only 1 mono track eventhough in Clip Setting both channel 1 and 2 are selected. Does anybody know what could be wrong?
    Another thing is that when I have captured a clip - it won´t appear automatically in the Browser as it always has done? Now I need to import the Clip from my Project folder. FCP going crazy.

  • Problem capturing Stereo audio

    I know I have 2 separate tracks of audio on my tapes. One wireless mic and one shotgun mic. I have tried all audio capture settings, but FCP just keeps on capturing the first audio channel? Any suggestions how to get both audio tracks captured.
    I even tried to capture with tapes that I´ve succesfully managed to capture both audio channels before. I just added a second scratch disk, also internal, could this have to do with my problem?

    When I open the Log & capture window there are items missing in the Capture Settings and Clip Settings Tab?! I can´t for intsance choose how many audio cahnnels I want to capture. Anybody seen thing like this?

  • How would you capture AIR audio on iOS (inside ANE)?

    Hi! I'm wondering what would be the best way to capture AIR app audio on iOS.
    I was able to capture video with OpenGL(that was tricky), also I'm able to do microphone capturing, both from ANE.
    Now I'm wondering how does AIR do audio output on the native level (iOS). What API does it use... From that I might be able to understand how to capture the audio. I know that there are different audio "pathways" from my limited iOS understanding, like Remote IO, or AVFoundation - but I'm not sure how/if its possible to capture from AVFoundation if its that. I know there's a way to capture from Remote IO.
    In general, I know it is possible, I'm seeing frameworks being able to capture audio on iOS just with a single ANE...so its only about figuring out "how".
    To clarify: I'm looking to capture realtime audio output from an AIR app.

    I'm trying the log and transfer method with Pro Res 422 HQ at the moment from material from a Panasonic SD5. For some reason FCP cannot mix down the 5:1 sound properly and you get channel 1 being 5 times as loud as channel 2. HOWEVER using Clip Wrap and again transcoding to Pro Res 422 HQ, seems to be able to mix the 5:1 to stereo, perfectly.My problem is Catch 22, I am often told to film in nasty places hence the need for tiny AVCHD cameras. Other programmes can work with these files like Pinnacle and FCE, however they do not have the Pro Res 422 HQ codec for exporting, that I must deleiver on, so I am having to work with FCP.Looks like Clip Wrap seems to work quite well....so far, but I haven't tested it properly yet.

  • Media Encoder CC 2014 export for UK DPP v1.1 AS-11 has only 4 channels audio???

    Trying to export an AS-11 UK DPP 1.1 with 10 channels. Export in AME has only 4 channels audio with no options to add more. The UK DPP spec allows for 16.

    You are correct. We are currently discussing this and are treating it as a feature request for a future update. In the future you can also submit feature requests here: Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form

  • Headphone jack no right channel audio

    So recently the right channel audio stopped working for my headphone jack. Any Ideas on how to fix this?

    I found a temporary solution :
    1) Open the registry editor (Windows key + R, then enter "regedit")
    2) Go to this directory :
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0001\Settings\Drv7246_DevType_0892_SS146210c7
    or something that looks like that
    3) Change the settings as following :
    Pin 14 : 02 00 00 00
    Pin 18 : 04 00 00 00
    Pin 19 : 04 00 00 00
    4) Restart
    5) Check if it applied. If it doesn't, try again. Sometimes it doesn't work at the first try.
    It actually remaps the Mic-in jack in a audio output. The sound coming out is a bit lower than the original output but it's still better than the crappy sound I've had since the headphone jack became a piece of .

  • Captivate 7 is not capturing system audio, and the software has a broken link

    The Problem:
    Captivate 7 is not capturing system audio. When I start a screen recording, the line with "System Audio" and its checkbox are eternally grayed out. Next to the grayed out words is a link that says, "Why is this disabled?"
    The lnik goes to:  http://www.adobe.com/go/cpaudio
    Which is not a valid link, so Adobe's site redirects me to blogs.adoble.com/captivate which is ZERO help. Both browsing and the search bar bring no answers.
    The Device:
    Apple Macbook Air, Mid 2013, running OSX 10.9.2.
    What I've done already:
    Obvsiously I have set Captivate 7's preferences to capture system audio, and have set System Settings -> Security and Privacy -> Privacy -> Accessibility to allow Captivate to control my computer.
    I have also tried clicking the Mic icon, Selecting Source with the System Audio icon and that doesn't record system audio either. It acts like it is recording system audio, but when I stop recording I get a popup that says, "Cannot record system audio. Ensure that you are playing audio on your computer [Okay]"

    It's a wierd one.
    One thing to try, and this fixes a lot of things, trash your preferences.

  • Premiere CS6 - MXF export with 8 channel audio does not export my audio channels correctly

    Hey Volks,
    when i try to export an mxf file with 8 channel audio, premiere does a kind of main mix in channel 1 and 2 and channel 3 to 8 remain silent. It does not include my assignment of audio channels in the mxf file.
    im very thankful for any idea...

    Hi Dast Media,
    Have you resolve the multi channel export?
    I have the same problem...(the export it's ok but i hear only the first two tracks)
    i need to export  a MXF file with 8 tracks, 6 stereo and 2 mono.
    Thank you for help!

  • This is a very simple question about multi-channel audio playback

    I have an mp4 file that i made and i made it 7.1 surround sound, and i'm pretty sure that this 7.1 surround sound works, as it can be played in VLC. i'm using netstream to load my files now. How do i make it so that flash can playback all 8-channels of sound? I suppose kglad would know the answer

    Flash doesn't support multi-channel audio (yet?)

  • Noob.. GB '08 on MBP Won't Record Right Channel Audio

    Hi, I'm a noob to Macs so please forgive me if I've missed something obvious.
    I wanted to do some light, goofing around with GB '08 V 4.1.2 with my Roland V-Drums. The Roland V-Drum module output uses two, 1/4" jacks (a "Left" and "Right" channel) which I have coming together in a "Y"-shaped stereo adapter, plugged into my MBP (Latest Leopard - bought new last week - 4 gigs of RAM, updated all OS & GB files 3 days ago) and for the life of me, I cannot get anything to play in the right-channel audio *but only when recording in GB* - otherwise both audio channels work fine.
    My Roland V-Drum unit can do mono by simply using one of the two designated Output channels; then I use a mono plug instead of a stereo. Even then I only get my drums recorded on the left side!
    I've gone into every obvious configuration setting I can find - both in System Preferences>Sounds and those within GB '08, but for the life of me, cannot find where I've set something wrong. I've swapped cables and adapters. I've also tried speaking into a microphone plugged in and the same thing happens when recording in Garageband - only the left channel gets any sound. If you pan the result to the right, all the sound just goes away.
    Anyone have any suggestions to try? Is this a bug? TIA...

    Your welcome and... I'm pretty sure the award for curing Drummer Dysfunctional Disorder is a combination Nobel Prize + sneakers with the Nobel logo embroidered onto it, which is really great since I could use a new pair. I'm only grateful that this didn't occur last year because I would feel terribly guilty if my own award interfered with Al Gore's since, as I have read, he is also thrilled by the complementary sneakers.
    Now see if Apple was really smart, they'd have the *opening screen* of GB ask: "Are you a drummer?" and if you answer "Yes", well that would take us to a much simpler version! Hmm... Perhaps I could design it for them - or be the "Test Monkey". But I digress...
    I'm guessing your humility is not exactly warranted... but perhaps an even easier version could be developed and named something like, I don't know, iTunes?
    I'm happy to report that, thanks to you Matt, my stream of obscenities is not only causing the LED to register but... I can *record them in stereo* too! I'll try your final suggestion after I sleep on it. Today, the built-in mic... tomorrow, the world!
    Words to the wise! (particularly when recorded in stereo and including obscenities)
    (I still hope it's ok to leave this as "unanswered" until I try recording my drums instead of the built-in mic, tomorrow)
    I suppose there's a sort of philosophical appeal to leaving all questions unanswered: for what is knowledge, and what can we truly know? But now I digress...
    So back to your Garagebanding.
    The thing is, if you can get your internal mic to work just fine, stereo and everything, that lets you know that at least your system is working, and that there isn't a bug that's crawled into it and is messing things up. Knowing that, you can narrow down your search for the culprit. If the internal mic works just fine, and the software works just fine, what is it about your original setup that's broken?
    I would go back to the notion that the computer never received both channels of your output (its input) to begin with, and that perhaps the physical plug is either mono or, by virtue of its shape, not able to properly seat itself in order to make contact on both channels. That's just a guess, but at least the search for the culprit has been narrowed down to likely suspects.
    (One possibly helpful distinction: a mono signal can record to both channels through a stereo minijack, but perhaps if the minjack itself is mono - or not connecting to both channels of the input - the signal (stereo or otherwise) might be restricted to one side?)

  • AAC and multi-channel audio

    Can AAC be used to encode multi-channel audio, such as DTS-HD Master Audio?
    DTS-HD Master Audio is an optional audio format in Blu-Ray. It uses lossless compression.
    There are other audio formats from Dolby Digital, for example, that are used to encode HD audio in Blu-Ray. Can AAC be used to encode those as well, without any loss of information?
    Is there any work in progress to make HD audio such as DTS-HD Master Audio available discretely on disc, like what the older DVD-Audio format made possible for 5.1 channel surround sound on disc?
    Thanks.

    What adjustments do you want to make?

  • No multi-channel audio from DVD Player or Quicktime?

    I have the A52Codec 1.7.6 installed. The codec preferences are set to output multi-channel audio. I have my Audio MIDI setup speaker configuration setup for multi-channel audio and the speaker assignment tests are all perfect. VLC plays back files with AC-3 soundtracks in perfect 5.1 multi-channel sound. Final Cut plays multi-channel audio properly as well.
    When I watch a DVD, it is decoded to stereo. The dialog on 5.1 always comes from the left and right speakers and never from the center channel. It doesn't matter whether I remove the A52Codec and try again the result is aways the same, 5.1 audio in Quicktime and DVD Payer gets decoded to stereo. It is not that extra channels are missing, if that were true I'd get no dialog at all.
    What do I have to do to make the DVD and Quicktime multi-channel audio decode as multi-channel audio and not stereo.

    I'm not sure if this will resolve your issue or not, but have you configured it using /Utilities/Audi MIDI Setup ?

  • How can I Import 2 channel audio from a Sony PMW300 camera?

    How can I Import 2 channel audio from a Sony PMW300 camera?

    Terry Woolf
    Thanks for the reply.
    The link to your prior thread is
    Audio
    I suspect that the issue of no audio for your .mp4 file goes to your conversion method MXF to .mp4.
    Please excuse if I am saying what you already know. When you import your video into Premiere Elements (in your case 12 Mac), a project
    preset is established, either by you manually or the project automatically. That project preset contains a description of the project settings
    for audio as well as video. Unless you select one of the project presets which are described for use with 5.1 channel, your audio in video audio
    imports into a stereo project. It is in the export area that you will find your opportunity to customize (if necessary) the settings for audio.
    In the project, if applicable to your situation, you can duplicate an audio channel (See Fill Left or Fill Right under fx Effects/Audio Effects).
    Please let me ask this to make sure of the details.
    If you import your .mp4 with 2 channel audio (derived from your .mxf convert and dragged to Video Track 1/Audio Track 1) and cannot hear the sound....
    a. do you see any evidence for an audio file in the Timeline Audio track 1?
    b. if you do, how many wave forms do you see, one or two?
    c. if you have the audio meters opened while you are playing back the Timeline content in Edit area, do you see 1 or 2 channels and is
    there activity in both.
    d. when you import the file into Project Assets, do you observe any conforming activity going on in progress bar in the lower right cover of the workspace...if
    so, do you wait for it to go to completion before continuing on?
    We could also try deleting the conformed audio in the Media Cache Files Folder to force the program to re-conform the audio. See Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks should show you the location of the Media Cache Files Folder whose contents you will be deleting.
    Please review and consider, and then let me know if I targeted your question. If not, please do not hesitate to let me know, and I will rethink my reply based
    on your response.
    Thank you.
