Count-in for recording audio in Premiere

Hello,
I want to provide a narration for some tutorial videos I am making. It may sound crazy, but I am currently doing all the video in Premiere Pro CC (because it is great), but I am adding the narration in the free iMovie app from Apple.
The reason for this is because iMovie has a great "count-in" before recording starts. This counts down three seconds once you start recording and allows for preperation to make the clip and most importantly, the mic is switched on, but the "pop" and other sounds are not recorded. The result is perfect, fluidity when recording narration sequences.
I don't want to do this on iMovie as it is a hassle loading in a second project in a different app. But for the life of me I can't figure out how to do this on Premiere. Is there a way to set up a count-in, or is does Premiere have something different but just as good?

Actually, your count-in will also come in handy for something else I am planning, so I appreciate it as well.
The count-in Mark showed works just as needed, so a big thanks for that Mark.
One last thing... I know I shouldn't keep referring to that iMovie software, but it does have another related neat feature which would be cool if I could replicate here. While recording my narration, if I don't like the section I just recorded, I can hop the timeline point to where the recording began with one key press, then through each section of recording (so it is like each block recorded has a beginning marker). It is a bit hard to explain.
Is there a way to do this via keyboard shortcuts or the mouse without manually creating markers everywhere? I know if I hold the shift and drag the timeline poiint, it will "attach" itself to the beginning of each recording, but I am hoping for something a little quicker and more fluid.

  • Recording audio with Premiere Pro CS6

    I'm a new comer to Premiere, having come from Final Cut.  I am trying to record audio into Premiere via a USB audio interface and mic.  I am able to record, but I want to know how I can monitor while I'm recoding.  I've already tried disabling the "mute input during recording."
    Does anyone know how I can see my audio levels while recording?

    (first importing to internal HD via the Canon XF Utility)
    Try skipping any special software and just use Windows Explorer (or Finder).

  • Nightmare recording audio into premiere pro with Mbox 2 Mini  Mac OSX

    I've adjusted buffer settings, power settings, and so on, not to mention watched two Premiere Pro tutorials on recording audio directly into Premiere that barely still apply, but adobe finds relevant enough to suggest.  I am using a Digidesign Mbox 2 Mini and an ElectroVoice RE20 Microphone.  If I'm lucky I get a clean track of audio for about 45 seconds before the audio begins to pop and crack.  In reading on Avid's forums this is due to a buffer issue, but I've since changed my buffer to every setting and still keep wasting time.  Does anyone have any experience recording directly into premiere pro cc 2014?, Anyone with an Mbox 2 Mini?, Do you have an audio box that seems to work perfectly with CC 2014?  If you have any insight on any of those questions, please comment below.
    I've tried everything I could find and read about online, but at this point I have to give up before I waste anymore time.  I've switched usb ports, maybe is a USB 3.0 with 2.0 device?, I switched power locations, plugs, protectors, and so on, even USB cables.... blahhh

    Premiere Pro CC 2014 8.1
    2012 Macbook Pro (Non-Retina), 16GB of Ram, dual internal SSD, 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7

    Hi AbzZilla,
    I was looking up this post and found you've a similar problem...
    I was having the non-responsiveness with the above configurations in 'LE 7.4 & 7.4.2c (Mac-only), but I have now installed Pro Tools LE 8.
    Unfortunately I still can't get the MBOX2 to work with the Mac mini 2, but the MBOX2 USB status alights now [i.e. it's very bright and now works] on the MBP 17" ...all with Mac OS X 10.5.6! In all previous Pro Tools versions it confirms support for Pro Tools and the MBox, with the Mac mini:
    http://archive.digidesign.com/compato/osx/os.cfm
    So I too am 'stumped' as this is the brand new computer that I wanted the software to be operable on. I've swapped the USB cables (to check if it was a failed cable) and it looks like either a firmware clash or a USB-port power issue? I've also tried non-powered USB hubs... as it could be the later issue? So when I find my powered USB hub I'll let you know, ...if there's a change?
    Until then... I Iook forward to further posts in this thread!
    Thanks for kicking-off the discussion.

  • Changing sample rates for recorded audio?

    I've been trying to record VO through premiere. I'm using an m-audio mobile pre which has never given me trouble in any other application. When i turn on Meter Input(s) Only from the panel menu of the track mixer i can clearly see the input move in time and responsively. When I record however the resulting clip is much shorter than the ammount of time recorded and the audio is all garbled and chopped. It clearly jumps out to me as a sample rate problem. I looked at the clips and they are 44.1 but the sequence i'm recording to is 48. I made a 44.1 sequence and recorded to that which worked fine but there must be a way to change the recording sample rate right? I can't find a solution anywhere. Anybody know?

    i'm just following up here. Thanks for the replies. I understood i would lose data as one answer suggests, but i wanted to convert it so i could work in a new song environment in which all the NEW tracks were recorded at 192. So the second answer was very helpful. incidentally, with further research we are recording at 96.

  • Software for recording audio streams?

    Is there a recommended software for capturing audio and converting to mp3?

    Hi everyone -
    I was using Audacity (freeware) for recording streaming audio and able to edit or convert at will . However for Mac ( being a new user) I am not sure what software is suitable. Recently bought an iSoundStudio from Apple but find the functions extremely restricted. Appreciated very much if  someone out there can recommend a good one similar to audacity. BTW, audacity has the Mac version but my system blocked the download,

  • What application to use for recording audio to Tiger

    I need to record audio of a 4 day conference. Can somebody recommend the best applications for this? I will plug my Mac into a mixer to get the audio and then I need to create CDs/DVDs of each session. I was thinking maybe Garage Band or Quicktime (Pro?)
    Thanks.

    I think you would have stereo Left/Right RCA plugs on the mixer board output, so you would need a cable like this to go into the line-in stereo mini jack on the PB.
    http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3452165&clickid=prod_cs
    If you don't have a mini-jack input, then you may need an external USB input device like the Griffin iMic. (there were some Mac models that did not have the line-in jack, I don't recall which ones.)

  • Adjusting count-in for recording???

    Is it possible to adjust the count-in when recording (e.g. electric guitar)? If so, how???
    Thanks.

    no, the "count-in" is fixed length
    what you can do is make your own click track, and make that as long or short as you'd like:

  • I am using logic to record a podcast and using soundboard to use as a playback for music and sound effects.  I'd like to soft patch sound board into logic, and still use my interface for recording audio from the other members of the podcast.

    I am using logic to record a podcast.  I have a presonus firestudio mobile for my interface so I can record several people at the same time.  I'm also using Soundboard for a playback system for music and sound effects.  I'd like to know how to soft patch Soundboard into Logic while still using the Firestudio interface to record the other members of the podcast.  Does anyone know how to do this? and if so can you tell me how to do it?  Thanks.

    Thanks. Now, since Apple failed to provide an audio in jack for their new and improved iMacs (mine has one), all I can suggest is that you contact AppleCare, since you have 90-dqy free phone support. If need be, you might reconsider your purchase, but that's for you to decide.

  • OnLocation for Recording Audio only

    I have been using OnLocation to record graduation at a University. My cameras and the sound board are well over a football field away so I have been recording the audio on a laptop and capturing video with cameras.
    I can't find a way for OnLocation to accept the "Line-in" jack as an input. Is this possible?

    Well, OK, but what do you consider "not too expensive"?
    FWIW, FW400 drives are cheaper than FW800 drives. But the cost of the adapter cable you'll need might offset the savings.
    Oh, and like, where do you live? "South" of what? South Bronx? South Africa? Can't make any recommendations about where to buy stuff just going by, er, "South".

  • Logic 9 "disc too slow"  2 TB drive for recording audio on Mac pro tower, lots of system HD space 6 gigs ram?????

    I purchased a Mac pro tower in 2008 it has a 320 GB system drive with lots of room left I have 2 500 GB drives and just purchased a new 2 TB 7200 RPM drive just to record from Logic onto it. I have 6 GB of Ram. I have been having this problem for years and I'm getting quite sick of it!.. I just set up a new 24 track project and I'm recording into logic via firewire with my Presonus firestudio and 2 digimax FS units at 44.1k and cant even record a few songs without it stopping in the middle of recording. This is sooo frustrating. Imagine when the band comes up with something cool and asks me to play it back and walk up to my $4,000 mac with my $500 worth of Logic to see it say Disc too slow!. I have seen this problem on many forums. Mac needs to fix this!. It makes me want to make a youtube vid of me burning my Mac with lighter fluid in the yard!. I purchased the "best of the best" at the time and Logic wont even work on a brand new Mac pro properly!?.. Cmon Apple help me out here???

    Now that I've had time to stew over your comments. I do appreciate what you are saying however there should be another way to remedy this problem without having to purchase anything (ie in the software or an update, new version from apple). I ran a recording studio for Several years. I also did put a lot of thought and research into purchasing my Setup and had many compliments on the sound quality. What I'm saying is that Logic 9 should have no problem functioning on my computer. I think mac has made a poor product. I bet if I purchased the Pro Tools equivalent to Logic 9 that i could record 24 channels till the cows come home and get no errors. What I need to know is if there is something that I havent tried in my settings or software that can fix this. I think 6 gigs of Ram should be more than enough to work with. Here is what Apple has to say:
    Minimum System Requirements
    2GB of RAM (4GB recommended).
    Display with 1280-by-768 resolution or higher.
    OS X v10.6.8 or later.
    Minimum 3.4GB of disk space. (19GB of optional content available via in-app download).
    So why should I have to purchase any Ram when it's supposed to work on only 3.4 gigs?... That's why your answer frustrated me. I meant no personal insult. I just think there has to be a better answer out there. I do appreciate your input though .

  • LP7.1 Recording Audio time limit

    Okay I cant seem to figure out how to increase the time limit on recording an audio track on LP7.1 . Currently when I start recording I find that I only have about 31 minutes displayed in the Remaining Time.
    I look at my "set Audio Record Path" settings and see that I have Maximum Recording Time unchecked. And drive holding the Recording Path directory has 36GB of space.
    Any clues how I can increase my remaining time for recording audio tracks?
    thanks in advance,
    Noah

    Un-uncheck Max Rec Time and put number of minutes you want to record in the field.

  • Record audio Left channel mono playback

    I'm new to Captivate and setting up a microphone for recording audio.  Recording equipment is a single microphone into an E-Mu 0404 USB interface.  The interface has 2 mic inputs.  The mic is plugged into the left channel.  Sound is recorded fine, but only plays back on the left channel.  How can I get the single channel treated as mono so playback is on both ears?
    Thanks

    Hi there
    Assuming you can do so, perhaps consider a Y connector that makes the mic feed into both channels.
    Also, report this to Adobe as I've seen many posts here regarding stereo and only hearing one channel.
