Carolyn, There are several programs that do what you are asking for, but none of them are competitors to Audition.
The reason you can't do what you want with Audition is because your laptop has been deliberately crippled because of pressure from outside agencies. I have several machiunes where it will work, and some where it won't..
What you ought to check is whether your Hindenburg program is actually always recording cleanly if you are using anything like Windows 7.
There are numbers of specialist audio programs for specific tasks. I have been involved in the past with journalist-specific features in programs that we sold.
As Steve said, record with your other program, but edit and process with Audition.

Blue Snowball USB microphone will not connect to audio hardware

My new Blue Snowball USB mic will not connect to the audio hardware in Premiere Pro. It connects well to my Mac but I cannot select it in Premiere Pro. Anyone know of a workaround or some help?

I was able to solve the problem by adding a Mono track first, then recording to that track. It's strange I have to do this, I have a Windows laptop at home that I use with CC 2014 and a Blue Yeti and Premiere just "knows" that I'm trying to record and makes the change.

Adobe Audition Help | Connecting to audio hardware

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/audition/using/connecting-audio-hardware.html

A couple of things to check:
From the main menu select Edit > Preferences > Audio Hardware
Check the sample rate - usually 44.1k or 48k
Make sure you have selected an audio device - use the ASIO version of the driver if available
Next check the Audio Channel Mapping - make sure audio is being directed to the appropriate outputs
Then if in mulitrack view check the Output of the Master channel that it is going to the appropriate outputs
Then make sure you have armed the track to record and that the input source is pointing to whatever mic channel you have plugged in

Is there a way to save multiple audio hardware settings?

Hi Everyone,
                       I use a multiple preamp set up to record. I would like to be able to playback and do my editing without having to have my preamps all plugged in and just use the computer's built in hardware. Of course as soon as I disconnect them Audition tells me I need to go back and set up my audio hardware settings since they have now changed.
Is there any way I can save the audio hardware settings so that I can switch back and forth between the computer's audio hardware and my preamp set up without having to go back and manually enter all the settings each time?

One feature request I've been meaning to submit has been remembering the previous settings for a device and defaulting to them when the device is re-selected. Thanks for the reminder on that.
As for CS6, you might be able to take advantage of the Machine-Specific Preferences feature to make this a bit easier. Here's what I would recommend:
Configure Audition with your primary audio device, get the Channel Assignments and all other settings how you like them, then close Audition.
Next, you're going to copy one of the Audition preference files to another location on your system. Your existing preference files will be located in one of the following locations:
       Mac OS X: /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Adobe/Audition/5.0/
       Windows XP: /Documents and Settings/<username>/Application Data/Adobe/Audition/5.0/
       Windows 7: /Users/<username>/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Audition/5.0/
    (Note that the "Library," "Application Data," and "AppData" folders may be hidden by the OS by default.)
Copy the file MachineSpecificSettings.xml to the appropriate directory below:
     Mac OS X: /Library/Preferences/Adobe/Audition/5.0/
       Windows 7/XP (32-bit): /Program Files/Common Files/Adobe/Audition/5.0/
       Windows 7/XP (64-bit): /Program Files (x86)/Common Files/Adobe/Audition/5.0/
Launch Audition and make sure Preferences > Audio Hardware > Use Machine-specific device defaults is selected. Now, each time you launch Audition it should attempt to load your primary device and configuration. If it can't be found, you'll still be notified and able to select your built-in input/output, but the next time you launch with the primary device connected, it should load as if it never left.
There's a bit more information on Machine Specific Settings on our Inside Sound blog post. It wasn't intended for this use, but I think it will make this particular request a bit simpler. Meanwhile, I'll make sure we have a feature in the database to look into this.

Is there a quick way to change audio hardware output?

Hello,
I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 USB audio interface hooked up to my Windows 8 machine. I use it to record vocals in a sound booth. The sound booth is closed off from access to the computer, so I monitor my recordings throught the headphones connected to the Scarlett.
The problem I have is when I edit my files, I want to use my speakers connected to my computer. That is easy enough, I can go to the Audio Hardware settings in Audition and change the ouput from the Scarlett to the speaker output on my computer, but now I have no audio going to the headphones connected to the Scarlett should I need to make a quick re-record. I can output to the speakers directly from the Scarlett but the maximum volume is ridiculously quiet, which means I have to really crank the speakers volume high but if I get any audio through my PC, such as an e-mail alert or an alert sound (which the monitor speakers are also connected to) the volume is super loud.
I was wondering if any one knew of a way I can add a shortcut to the main Audition interface to easily switch between audio output sources?
Or even better would be to have dual audio output sources, so I can monitor on both the Scarlett headphone output and my Speakers attached to my PC.
I hope that makes sense and I would really appreciate any help.
Thank you
Mendoza

Hey, thanks for the ideas.
Yes, I am using Balanced TRS 1/4" connectors from the Focusrite, straight into the speakers. I also tried a pair of unballanced TRS cables and a pair of TRS to XLR connectors just in case it was the connection type causing a problem.
I would rather not use an amplifier between the Focusrite and the speakers. Unfortunately the Focusrite Scarlett is renowned for it's ridiculously low monitor output level, but adding a volume booster like an amp in the middle just seems to be boosting an unecessarily low signal, as can be seen on many forums. Really, the volume from the Focusrite monitor output should not be so low in the 1st place. Even when I connect my iPhone through it's line out connection to my speakers the volume is louder. I thought it was a defective Focusrite unit, so I replaced it but it wasn't, as the replacmenet was the same. However, the recording quality and the mic preamps are superb in the Focusrite, So I really like its recording capability.
The most frustrating thing is that the volume level coming out of my PC (I connect through the SPDIF output to a Cambridge DACmagic DAC and output via RCA interconnects to the speakers) is perfect. Nice, loud and crystal clear. I would much prefer to use this output to the monitor speakers, but then I have no sound to my headphones when I am in the booth. I don't want to connect my headphones to the PC as it is far away and there really is no need as the volume level and latency to the headphones is perfect through the Focusrite, I just need an easy way to either switch output sources in Audition or a way to output playback to both I think.
Thanks again for your help so far.

How to set audio hardware input channels for narration & to what?

Searched forum - hope I didn't miss solution for the following:
Using PE3 in Windows XPSP3
Tried for the first time to add narration to a project. Was using a stereo/microphone headset. Got nothing but noise. Could record in Windows recorder and Audacity. However, the microphone as part of the set would not work in Windows Audio Hardware Test Wizard. The set was using a sound chip on the motherboard.
A friend of mine has the same OS, motherboard and is using PE3. He too had never tried adding narration - but tried with a USP connected set, and was successful.
I removed my stereo set, and connected a USB set. To make sure all settings were reset, I did a cold reboot. The USB set worked in Windows Audio Test Wizard. I opened my project again, and in Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware, clicked AIIO Settings. Unchecked the old set (Realtek) in both the Output and Input Ports area, checked the USB Audio Device, moved to the top of both lists.
Then tried to add narration and got the error message "Your current audio hardware selection does not have any input channels. Please use Preferences>Audio Hardware to correct this problem.
Thinking that maybe this was a preset for the project and couldn't be changed, I started a new project, no video, just tried to add narration, and got the same message.
The entries in the columns in the ASIO Direct Sound for Full Duplex Setup menu for the USB Audio Device in the Input section are: 2048, 0, 1, 16, Yes
The only one of these that seems to be able to be adjusted is the second number - the Offset (Samples). The Audio Channels number is set to 1 and doesn't seem to be changeable. Suggestions?

When working with Audio in most NLE's, i.e. Premiere Elements, or Pro, there are basically three areas that can affect how the Audio is handled on one's system. First, there is the Sound settings in Windows (from Control Panel). Next, the Audio card/chip probably/possibly has a console to make settings at the card/chip level. Last, and these are really two locations, but I'm only counting them as one since they are both in the NLE - Edit>Preferences>Audio & Audio Hardware. This is where Steve is referring to. Check all settings, and I'd suggest doing so in the order that I listed them above: OS, Audio card, then Premiere. A Mute, or by-pass in the first two, can override the settings in Premiere, and you may have its setting correct, but still not be able to effectively use your hardware.
The exact settings chosen will depend on the exact hardware that is properly installed. Without knowing all of your hardware and other settings elsewhere, one cannot give you a definitive answer. Ideally, in the settings drop-downs, you *should* see your hardware listed. Look closely, as these can be a bit cryptic.
If you are still unable to get your hardware working properly, a fourth place to look would be Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager for your Audio hardware. Check that Device Manager sees your hardware, and that it is working properly.
If all is set up properly, but still not working, report back with exact specs on your system, including all of your Audio hardware. There are possibly some more steps that can be taken. I will not mention them now, as they *should not* be needed. If you do need further assistance, please list every option in all of the drop-down lists from Premiere, so we can know what your choices are.
Good luck,
Hunt

Any advice ???
Thank you

See my reply in the other thread. Please don't double post as it is confusing to give answers. Unfortunately your picture doesn't show any helpful information to give us a clue as to what the problem is. A more helpful image would be of the same view but with the Input/output selection shown (rather than the fx view) by clicking on the double arrow icon to the left of the fx one which is selected at present.

Speakers poping when onbaord audio hardware initializes and turns off

I noticed the audio hardware stops transmitting a signal after 30 seconds or so. During the startup and shutdown time of the audio hardware I hear a pop in my speakers. Is there a fix for this?
I did recently buy new speakers. The old ones did not do this. Is it possible it is the 1/8" audio cable? I might buy a new/better cable and try it out.

Hi newelement;
If you seriously what any help, you are going to have to provide much more information such as name and model of the speakers and how they are connected to the Mac.

Audio hardware detected is not supported

On one of our Win7 64bit 8440p laptops, the audio drivers seem to be installed, but Windows says "No audio hardware is detected". So, I downloaded both of the available IDT HD audio drivers (sp50589 and sp46721), but when I try to install either it says "Audio hardware detected is not supported". However, after it fails, Windows asks if it installed correctly, and if I want to try installing it with "Recommended settings". I tried that once, and the installation goes through successfully, but the audio still is not working.
When I go into Device Manager, the objects say "Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)" when you go into the properties. To verify it's the drivers and not the hardware, I then rebooted, hit F8, selected the option to ignore driver signing, and lo and behold, the audio works. But I can't ask the employee to hit F8 and select that option each time.
Anyone have any ideas?

Any perfect audio hardware setup with the new Macbook Pro?

I'm still not sure if to go for the new Macbook Pro 2.8 ghz, or the 6 months earlier 2.5 ghz model (march 2008).
I love to go for the new Macbook Pro, but I'm not sure about my setup. Now I have:
- extern 7200 rpm bus powered LaCie firewire 800 hard drive
- Saffire with firewire 400 (thinking about moving to Apogee Duet)
Will the express card really help? I've read that if you connect a firewire 400 device to the express card, the firewire 800 won't work at 800 speed, but at 400? Also that a bus powered hard drive doesn't work, and that it needs it's own power to run with the express card?
Bottom line:
What would be the perfect audio hardware setup with the new Macbook Pro? I gladly invest in a different audio interface (or anything else) if it really fits and works as pro audio setup!

I've read that if you connect a firewire 400 device to the express card, the firewire 800 won't work at 800 speed, but at 400?
I don't think this is right. As I understand it, the advantage of having one of your devices on an express card slot is specifically so it is on its own bus.
Then both devices will operate on their own speed.
However, this is true for the older model Macbook Pros when you use both FW ports that are built in, because even though the machine has two ports, they each feed one firewire bus. So if you have a device plugged into each port, the one plugged into the 800 will only run at 400 speed because they're both on the same bus. Using an express card means both devices can operate at their own speed.
If you want the newer machine I think you should get it. Then you can buy a firewire 400 express card, plug your interface into that, and plug your FW 800 drive into the main firewire port. This will give you better performance from your peripherals than an older machine with both devices plugged into the built in FW ports.
Good Luck!

When streaming a movie with the new Apple TV, and using a DSL Internet connection, all audio sound works, e.g., the music track, but the audio track with the actor's voices, does not work. What can I do?

Hi Brian,
Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
Thanks for your help though!

I want to add Narration to my movies. I've watched the Elements Guided Help for Narration, and closely followed their procedure. But when I click the RECORD tab, I get an error message. "Your current audio hardware selection dos not have any input channels." My question, therefore: Do I need to buy an external microphone? I have an HP Pavilion Laptop, running WIndows 8.1. I thought I had a built-in microphone. But ,maybe not. Please help. Also, WHAT KIND of microphone - exactly - should I buy? Thanks for your help.

Go to Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware and ASIO tab and click on it.
Under the Input tab, make sure that you have your microphone selected.
Please let us know the outcome.

USB audio hardware: what works with iBook 366 clam and OSX 2.8?

I just bought a Behringer UAC202 USB audio interface. My iBook will recognize that it is attached and will give me audio 'out' settings, but it will not configure any audio 'in' settings. It works fine on my iBook G4 with OSX 4.11 however.
Is this a Behringer problem? Do I need to use OSX Panther on the old iBook? Is there a problem with the old clamshell's as far as USB audio in?
Anyone know a cheap USB audio hardware that works in this case? I want to dedicate this great old machine to some easy audio useage.... using the Polar RAM looper instrument in Digital Performer..... and nothing else..... I'm not recording audio to my hard drive..... just want to get audio in and out of the iBook to and from Digital Performer.
Thanks!

Driver support in Panther is pretty limited with regards to newer hardware as far as i've experienced. If there isn't any drivers offered, either by the company or via third party, then you may be stuck.
The only way that i get audio in on my Blueberry iBook is with the Apple iMic that i picked up at an Apple Store a few years ago. It works fine under panther, tiger and leopard.
Good Luck

Can't find Microphone in Audio Hardware

Hi guys,
I'm desperate to record a voiceover for a film and am struggling to find my mic + preamp in my audio hardware list.
I am using an M-Audio Nova plugged into a CME Mtraix X preamp (as the mic needs phantom power) and can't seem to find a tutorial anywhere for how to solve my predicament.
I arm the track and press record but volume is shown on the meter. In the audio harware options I have what I believe are the 4 default settings. I may be forced to having to export to record a voiceover in SOundtrack and then export it back to Premiere, a long arduous project i hate.
I hope you can save me!
Any help greatly appreciated,
Jon

It might help if you would list all of your Edit>Preferences>Audio Hardware settings, including the ASIO settings.
Good luck,
Hunt
[Edit] While you are at this, please list (screen-cap will be great) your OS's Audio/Sounds settings and any settings in any Audio console programs, that you might have.

AA3 keeps losing Audio Hardware Setup settings...

I work in a broadcast center with a number of AA3 machines that keep losing their Audio Hardware Setup settings. It keeps switching from the LynxONE drivers to Audition 3.0 Windows Sound. I can find no documentation on this.
I've found that the trigger is when AA3 has "release ASIO driver in background" NOT checked, and the user minimizes it and plays something from another audio program. Then they have to go in and set it back again before AA3 will pass audio again.
Is there any way to prevent this from happening?
Thanks.

In the Options menu. Device Properties. Then you have tabs for Wave In and Wave Out amongst others. Also you may need to also set Device Order from the same Options menu.
