Converting audio recorded at 30 frames to 29.97

I just shot some footage with a Canon XH-A1 at 30P. I recorded sound with the camera onto the miniDV tape, but I also had a sound recordist recording with a separate recorder. He recorded at 30 fps, but after the shoot I realized my camera was at 29.97, not actually 30.
I have Soundtrack Pro 2.02 and FCP 6. With Soundtrack can I convert the 30fps audio files to 29.97? If so, how?
By the way, I tried bringing the separate audio files (a stereo pair) into my FCP sequence, and they aren't syncing up, though they're close.
ETA: OK, I just found pullup/pulldown--would "0.1% film to NTSC" be what I'm looking for?

Thanks for the reply. I'm new to Soundtrack--the pulldown feature doesn't actually convert the audio file, just the project, right? I'll start reading the Soundtrack manual, but I'm not quite sure how to proceed. Should I open the audio files in SP, make the pulldown change, save that project and open it in FCP? Or...?
OK, I just realized I could select the pulldown and "save as" an aiff file--I'm trying to import that into FCP and see if I get sync...

  • Converting audio recording 5.1 to stereo

    I accidentally recorded in 5.1 and was wondering if I can convert it to stereo in Premiere Pro.
    I will be creating a DVD to be played on regular TV and I am afraid 5.1 won't be suitable.

    The DVD player will downmix for you if need be.

  • How to convert a software instrument recording to an audio recording? Logic pro X

    Hey I'm having serious trouble converting a software instrument recording to an audio recording. I'm trying to record this drum beat, then convert it to an audio file so i can chop it up and sample it on the EXS24. could anyone possibly provide any helpful insight to my dilema? Thank you very much!

    im sorry i should've clarified a little further. it is on the drum machine feature in Logic pro X. i want to sample  the 808 kick so i can change the pitch of it in the exs24 but whenever i go to "bounce in place" this message pops up:
         ""Bounce Regions" in Place can only process regions on audio tracks and/or software instrument tracks. Click      “OK” to deselect all regions on other tracks and continue."
    do you have any answers to this specifically?

  • Audio, recorded separately, strays from sync

    Hello,
    I have three sources of media that I'm using in my project, which is a recording of a gig that my band played:
    - Sony AVCHD video camera (front view), includes one video and a stereo pair
    - Sony AVCHD video camera (side view), includes one video and a stereo pair
    - three tracks of audio that were recorded using a separate multitrack audio recorder (Zoom R16).
    I've figured out how to sync the sources together - I set an in point on a distinct piece of audio that exists in all three sources (actually it's someone coughing, I didn't think to have the drummer clap his sticks together before we started). Then I set an in point in the sequence, edited in the three sources, and adjusted the in points of the clips forward to the beginning of the set. At that point where the clips were matched up, the sources are perfectly in sync.
    However, within 30 seconds before or after the sync point, some drift is evident in the audio that was captured on the R16. And a few minutes out, it's seconds off. I capture these gigs one set at a time, so we're talking about clips that are an hour long (we usually do two or three sets).
    I didn't pay much attention to the detailed settings of the audio recorder before I captured the gig. Actually, I recall that the basic marketing/quickstart tutorials on the Apple website say you can pretty much use any video or audio in a single project in FCE and it would convert/transcode for you as necessary.
    Had a look at the clip properties, and I see that the audio captured in the cameras is 48.0 KHz, while the R16 captured the audio at 44.1 KHz. If I'd noticed the difference beforehand I would have changed the R16's settings to match, just to be thorough - but I am a little disappointed - I'd thought that there would be compensation for differences like these... this is digital!
    Could this difference in the sample rates be the problem? Regardless, can anyone suggest how I might be able to resample or convert the audio so that it doesn't drift like this?
    Thanks much in advance, and cheers.

    Hmmm ... honestly .... I am running out of ideas ...
    Can I ask:
    1. did you get both their starting point correct ?
    2. Are the duration of both the video clips & audio clips you are trying to sync the same length ? That is, if the audio is 10 secs, then is the video also 10 secs ?
    Thanks
    Hey -
    1. Yes, I'm certain that I matched up the in points correctly while making the edits. In the audio tracks, I zoomed in all the way so I could get sub-frame position - as described starting on pg 474 of the manual. At that point, they are in perfect sync. And as you get further away from that matched point in the sequence, the drift gets worse.
    2. The length of the audio that was recorded on the cameras is exactly the same length as the video (of course). The audio clips recorded on the R16 are all exactly the same length as each other as well.
    However the R16 clips are not the same length as the video clips, and the two videos are not the same length as each other. They are a few seconds different from each other, because of the way I start the recording - I step onto the stage and before we start playing, I use the infrared remote to start the recording on each of the cameras one at a time, and then I start the recording on the R16.
    I don't actually know how exact clip lengths from separate recording sources could be achieved, and since I'm editing them in separately, I think it shouldn't make a different. The keyword being "shouldn't", of course. In any case, if you extend the clips all the way out to play all the available media in the track (using up all the handles), the extents of the clips in the tracks appear a few seconds different from each other, as they should.
    Thanks for your suggestions, I'll keep trying to come up with something. Feel free to suggest other things you think of, I do appreciate your time and help.
    I have run out of ideas ... Anyone here can help ?

  • How can I delete the video and keep the Audio  in a few frames using Imovie 11

    How can I delete the video and keep the Audio  in a few frames using Imovie 11?

    I've met the problem too before. but i solved it with  Audio Converter Mac instead of iMovie. If you have similar situation that just want to keep audio but not video, and if your file format is not workable in iMovie, you can use the Audio Converter for help too. it can easily help to extract audio soundtrack from any video format. Or if you need to convert one audio format to another, it is a good choice too, because it supports many common audio output formats.

  • Capturing mono VHS footage, how do I convert audio to stereo?

    I am creating dvd's from some old VHS tapes, and the audio track is mono, I want to know how to convert audio to stereo? Do I start with the audio settings on Mono or stereo, and then what is the next step to get mono audio converted to stereo?

    Are you wanting to add a second channel of audio along side the mono track?
    Or, are you wanting to double the mon track into a faux-stereo track?
    Either way, DO start with a stereo track on your audio settings.
    But if your VHS audio is not split into two separate channels of sound, then there is no way to get true stereo.
    However, for a faux-stereo sound, try copying the original mono track, paste it to a second audio track then nudge just that track by one frame.
    Listen to it and if it doesn't give enough presence to the overall sound, try another frame nudge until you get the sound you like.
    This isn't true stereo but will create more of an aural landscape that might satisfy your request.

  • Meeting Place 8.0 Audio Recording play back

    Hi,
    We are currently using Meeting place 8.5, it is currently installed as Express Media server (Single server solution) as audio only conferencing solution.
    I am able to record a meeting using meetingplace conference manager, but there is no option to find/play the recording, when i select the meeting and check the meeting details, I can find that the meeting is recorded but Attachment is displayed as No.
    I found links which says to find the meeting using Meeting place web scheduler and find meetings but is if no avail as there is not web server installed in my setup.
    Would like to if there is any way to find/play the recording.
    Thanks,
    Vinay

    Hi Vinay,
    Accessing or playback of recordings requires a Web Scheduling server to manage and convert the recording from the Application server. This is not possible with just an applicaiton server alone.
    Thanks,

  • Other ways of adding audio recording to presentations Adobe Presenter 8?

    Hi there,
    I just realised that I asked a question in the wrong language! I have a quick question re. audio recording in AP8. Is there anyway to add audio to a presnetation other than with a traditional recording device? i.e. can audio be recorded via PC or telepohne and then be added to the presentation? if so, how?
    Many thanks!
    KH

    You can use the Import Audio tool to import any MP3 or WAV audio file. Presenter doesn't care where the audio file comes from, so as long as you can record the audio as one of those two file types, or convert it to one of those file types, you should be able to bring it into Presenter.
    To simplify the process, you may want to break up the audio files so there is one for each slide, but this can be done in the audio editor if needed.

  • Convert vinyl records.

    I am planning to buy turntable and convert old records. Is the Numark's EZ Audio Converter a preferable choice for software? What options in Logic can I use? Does logic do a better job? How to get the best possible transfer and then eliminate pops and other undesirables with out loosing the cleanness of the original sound. Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    First make sure your turntable is the highest quality possible, is transparent or neutral sounding, the stylus/cartridge is in good condition, is grounded correctly to eliminate hum etc, is turning at the right speed (calibrate it), and preferably is using a stylus/cartridge/tonearm that will be able to pull plenty of high (and low) frequency content off the record. You'll have to research but some high end ones will capture information right up to 30khz and beyond which definitely makes a difference compared with the truncation at 22.05khz of CD.
    Use as good a vinyl source as possible. Find the best version of the record as you can. There may be superior pressings, masterings, etc etc of the recording and these will have a dramatic effect on the information that is captured. You might just want to transfer the records you already have but it shouldn't be so hard to find better versions for not much money.
    Depending on the condition and what you know about the history of the records, you can clean them carefully using soap and warm water. Dont use an abrasive cloth but instead use one or a few of those very soft cloths for cleaning glasses/camera lenses. A small bit of detergent and a gentle hand moving around the record grooves (not across to the centre like you do with CD) should get a lot of crap out of the record depending on its condition and could provide a big leap in sound quality. Take care not to get water on the inner labels. Make sure to dry the record for a few hours (not using too much heat) before playing.
    Make sure your signal chain is as short and high quality as possible. The RIAA EQ curve is important as stated - get yourself a Cambridge Audio 640P Phono preamp for about £50 - this has excellent sound quality, will preserve your frequency response up to about 50khz and it will be much better to let hardware like this do the RIAA curve than letting software do it.
    To record on the computer, use a high quality interface (Apogee Duet, MOTU Ultralite etc) use 24bit and at least 96khz sample rate to preserve the high frequency information. Determine the loudest parts of the record and set the level according to that - you can leave 6 - 10db headroom with 24 bit, just to be safe, and the sound quality/resolution won't suffer.
    Use something like spectral view in Sountrack Pro to check the integrity of the recording. You'll be able to see things like hum, clicks, pops and may be able to edit them. I use iZotope RX Advanced as it is very good for things like noise reduction, manual/automatic click restoration etc and it does it very transparently (as long as you put the time in to find the exact right settings). But you won't want to do too much noise reduction generally as the sound will almost certainly suffer.
    You might want to convert your master to 32 bit before editing as it will preserve the audio better and not introduce (albeit very very low level) dither etc.
    Finally, I would avoid 'delivering' the final needledrop on CD and personally would always listen to the results in a nice environment with high resolution monitors/speakers in native 24 bit 96khz resolution, because that way it will sound as much like the record played live as possible. If you do have to go to CD, I would recommend sample rate conversion by iZotope (64 bit SRC) or Voxengo (r8brain), and dither by iZotope (MBIT+) as these are definitely among the best available.
    Hope this helps
    Cheers

  • Can MacBook Pro Retina be used to convert vinyl records to digital files?

    Can MacBook Pro Retina be used to convert vinyl records to digital files?

    As the retina model doesn't have a line-in port, you'll also need a USB input device.
    Griffin's iMic is a Mac stalwart. However, they don't list Lion or ML in the compatibility list, so some further research may be necessary.
    If that's OK, their Final Vinyl software is free.
    There are other analogue-to-digital converters, though most if not all are more expensive, and the excellent (free) Audacity  software will also help with the import and any editing. It exports to a good selection of audio file types too.

  • Captivate 5.5 Software simulation video crashes when adding audio recording

    I run Windows 7 and Adobe captivate crashes after trying to start a audio recording in software simulation. My simulation is ready and the moment, I click the "record audio" button, the application freezes and I have to go to end the application via Task Manager.
    Solution approaches:
    I have started Captivate as administrator and that didn't help.
    I have then tried to look up my preferences but didn't find any files which i could identify as preferences.
    I have already tried the solution in the Note below (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/759455)
    Help please.
    Thanks,
    A

    I am having similar issues, but with the internal speach generator. I have both simulation and demonstration videos. I was able to enter text and convert to Paul's voice without issue, but the minute I tried to add closed captions Captivate totally locked up. And now when I try to do any sort of audio edit, no matter which method of access to the audio (using Audio - Audio Management or Audio - Speech Management or the Add/Edit Audio buttons in the Properties window or using the Closed Caption button in the Slide Notes tab or double click the audio wave file in the Timeline tab) Captivate totally locks up. I was originally able to create 1 file with closed captions but now it also locks up when I try to edit and no other file will let me add CC or use the Audio edit features.
    Captivate 5.5, Windows 7; run captivate as admin or not - no difference. Run captivate on my primary or secondary monitor - no difference; run captivate with or without other applications open - no difference.
    When I force close using Task Manager I did get a CpDump file that was created. Not sure what to do with that...I submitted a bug but have heard nothing back.
    I did follow the steps in the earlier referenced link about deleting the preferences. I also did not find a specific file/folder labeled preferences but my IT group said it was OK to delete the entire final folder in the referenced chain (Captivate 5). Once I did that, I had access to my Closed Captions again and could edit the audio.

  • Supplemental digital audio recorder drifts out of sync

    Dear All,
    I have just purchased a Sony ICD-UX70/UX80 digital audio recorder to use as a back-up emergency audio source and it works very well in capturing stereo digital audio. However, when trying to edit this audio source into my video, the audio keeps "drifting," I assume because of the difference in the frames per second between video and audio. Is there any "quick fix" to keep both audio sources in sync...a "make fit" that will adjust the audio to the space allotted to the video? Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    Barb

    Video runs at 48khz. The unit may record at 44.1khz. If that's the case, you need to resample the audio to match the sequence settings.
    Resampling can be done in QT Pro, iTunes, Soundtrack Pro, Peak or any number of audio editing programs.
    Good luck,

  • Convert audio timecode to actual clip timecode in Premiere Pro?

    Hi all,
    is there a way of converting an audio recording of a SMPTE-timecode recorded via the camera's line in (TC generated by an ambient tinylockit) into a timecode track or, ideally, replace the video's timecode with the converted audio timecode?
    I'm hoping to synchronise footage from two cameras with one external audio via external tc's on both cameras' audios in this way as none of my cameras nor the audio/video recorder I use have SMPTE ins/outs. Cams are Blackmagic Production Camera and Pocket Cinema Camera, external recorder (linked to BMPC) is Sound Devices pix220i.   
    Blackmagic support site claims there is a way to "translate" (You can then use DaVinci Resolve (9.0.3 and above), Avid Media Composer or Adobe Premiere CC to translate the audio timecode data into an additional timecode track, which can be used for syncing purposes. - see Blackmagic Forum • View topic - Frequently Asked Questions - Audio (Updated: 27/Nov/14)), but I could not find anything in the Adobe manual or forums.
    Many thanks,
    Deniz

    Quinn,
    Did you ever get this resolved?  There's a new version of Premiere Clip out there - so you're probably set now.
    Have you tried it again since?
    I'm looking for Clip to Pr inspirations if you ever want to share.
    I'm also trying to figure out how to put together a portfolio to share too.
