Crackling and glitches when recording voice overs in premiere pro cc

Hi,
I am trying to monitor my voice overs with minimal latency in premiere pro. I know that lowering the buffer size reduces latency, but adds strain to the CPU.
The problem that I encounter is crackling and weird glitch sounds when I drop the buffer size to 256 within the ASIO settings. I find it odd that my CPU can't keep up seeing as how the resource monitor doesn't show 'CPU Usage' higher than 10%.
When I raise the buffer to 512, the crackling and weird sounds disappear, but there is a slight delay present in the headphones.
There are no plug-ins or effects in use.
Would anyone know why this is happening, or if there's anything that can be done?
Thanks!
Equipment being used:
Audio Technica AT-2020 (USB Mic)
i7 3770k @ 4GHz
32gb RAM
NVidia Geforce GTX 670
Win 7 Pro
256gb SSD
2TB HDD

Yes. The procedure I went through was the following.
1) Add Mono Track (Audio 3)
2) Click on Mic Icon in Audio 3, in the Audio Mixer.
3) Click on Record Button. Watch it flash.
4) Press the space bar to record.

  • Ticking clock when recording voice-over

    having just installed iLife 09,i have come to use the garageband to make a podcast when I selected the settings I need to use the voice over, I continued to record, but when I record there is a ticking noise in the background which is quite noisy, this only appears when I pressing record to do a voice over, so I installed it on a different laptop, and the same thing has happen again I was using the iLife 08 software and that was recording perfectly, it seems to me I either have a setting that is not quite correct or there is a fault with this new software can somebody help me with this please. Kind regards

  • Voice Over in Premiere Pro CS5

    Hi there.
    A quick question about doing voice overs. I am recording using a Tascam US-122, with mono on. I am recording a voice over onto Audio Track 1, but it records to normal volume on the left side, and barely any volume to the right.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    David

    You're right, we weren't on the same page, and now I understand!
    So  I added a mono track and yes, there is only one levels display. I  recorded, then copied and pasted it to a second mono track and panned  one hard left, the other hard right, and I got equal levels in both  channels!
    Ok, so problem solved.
    But  one last question.... I'm still not really understanding what I'm doing when I record in mono. The screenshot below shows the playback of the mono recording... with one Levels display for the mono track, Audio 3, and two Levels displays in the Master. And 2 channels are playing back in the Master. So when I play it back now, I'm getting sound in both channels.
    I'm not sure why creating a mono channel, as you suggested, ended up with a recording that plays back in 2 channels on the Master.
    Thanks,
    David

  • Recording voice over to Soundtrack Pro

    I am trying to record some dialogue for a short film and am looking at the following hardware:
    Behringer Xenyx 1002B mixer (I need something with battery power for mobility)
    Behringer UCA222 USB audio interface
    I am using Soundtrack Pro 3.0.1
    Has anyone used this setup? Will STP detect and accept what the ACA222 spits out?
    Is there a cheaper option?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Maybe I didn't understand your question. Are you wanting to mix multiple mics down to one audio signal to record into STP on one track via the analogue audio input on your computer? If that's the case then any mixer should work. I use a USB XLR mic input to feed a mic straight into the USB input on my Macbook pro. I use it for both simple production recording and VoiceOver and ADR recording back at my studio. For multiple mics I believe I could plug in multiple USB adapters, but I will typically use my Edirol R4 for when things get more complicated or I need to be very mobile. If you're mixing more than two mics, then wouldn't any mixer work? If you're looking for a mixing control surface, then your options are limited to a handful of options. I use the Euphonix MC Mix. I'm looking for a box to input (not mix) maybe four mics (boom and three lavs) and feed them via USB or preferably Firewire into STP to record onto separate tracks. The reviews I've read are very mixed. If you or anyone else has a suggestion for this please post it.

  • What is the proper config for the Airport Extreme when a Voice over IP device is between the cable modem and the router.

    What is the proper config for the Airport Extreme when a Voice over IP device is between the cable modem and the router.  Its a VoIPo device. The cable modem is connected to the VoIP WAN port and the LAN port on the device feeds the Airport Extreme.  The VOIP is working fine, and my Mac are getting 10. addresses from the Airport Extreme.  But I do get confict messages and lose my connection periodicaly.  Looking for help.

    Per chance, is this device the Grandstream HT502?

  • Safari still freezes when accessability voice over is on and blue tooth keyboard still doesnt work when accessability voice over is on, Help

    Hi Apple,
    iphone 5s latest updates , safari still freezes when accessability voice over is on and blue tooth keyboard still doesnt work when accessability voice over is on, Help

    Hi,
    If you are absolutely sure that neither the sound output of the Macbook nor the sound output of VoiceOver are muted then try to reset VoiceOver.
    1. Open VoiceOver Preferences.
    2. From the File menu choose "Reset All VoiceOver Preferences …".
    3. Click "Reset.
    4. Turn VoiceOver Off and On again. (hold command and press F5 twice).
    If you still don't hear anything then it could be that the main sound output of the Macbook got muted somehow. I find that I often hit the mute button on my Apple wireless keyboard without noticing. So just make sure that its not muted and also hit the "Volume Up" a few times. Its so terribly obvious I know but its also very easy to miss. Lots of people do that.

  • Does anyone know how to monitor a microphone when using Voice Over tool?

    I use Final Cut studio in conjunction with an AJA Kona LHe card. Audio inputs are via the AJA. I monitor the output from FCP through the AJA card via a Samson C-Control (monitor matrix). Here's my problem. When I'm recording voice over, I am unable to monitor the sound from the microphone through the headphones (or speakers). There is definitely an audio feed being routed to the headphones as I am able to hear the audio cue countdown. The microphone is working fine too - when it comes to playing back the voice over through the headphones (or speakers), I can hear the track absolutely fine. Has anyone experienced the same problem... and do you know how to solve it? Many thanks, AW

    its not that you've anything screwy going on .. this is the way it is engineered to work.
    the pre-existing audio (and cues) is routed to the headphones but not the voice being recorded.
    the solution is to use an audio mixer to monitor both the voice over and the timeline

  • Recording voice over doesn't give "red light" feedback

    In the documentation it says that when a voice over recording begins "A pulsing red light in the upper-left corner of the screen indicates that recording is in progress."
    I see the red like graphic and what looks like an audio meter, but they are static--they don't blink or change or anything. So I don't get a visual feedback that it is actually recording or if my audio level is right.
    I just installed iWork 09 this week and it seems to be the same results on the 3 different Macs I use around here.
    Is this a feature in 09 or did I miss some setting someplace?

    Yes, I've proven it is a bug with external sound cards/mixers. I switched to the internal audio on my MacBook Pro and the meter worked fine. I did report it, but who knows if or when it'll be corrected. Perhaps they have an issue with external devices that self-regulate the audio levels?

  • Record voice over in 10.2.

    How do I record voice over in iMovie 10.0.5? I cannot find the microphone icon!

    Do you have an iPhone? IF so, use the Voice Memo app which comes default with all iPhones and record the narration. Tip: make multiple attempts as you'll need the find the balance of speaking tone/volume compared to how close you speak to your iPhone. Also, be sure to record your narration when there is no other background noise.
    Then sync your iPhone to your iTunes; your voice memo clip should be stored in Voice Memo playlist within iTunes. Once the voice memo clip is in iTunes, go and import the voice audio narration clip into your iMovie project....presto.

  • How do I Show date and time when I hover over clip like in iMovie

    How do I get FCPX 10.6 to show date and time when I hover over a clip? I can so it in I movie and as I move over my clips the date/time is shown. I need it for that specific point in the clip not just the record start time.

    I realize that my needs are outside of the normal editing workflow. I am a private investigator and last week I shot over 6 hours of surveillance video on a Sony video camera. Within this 6 hours of video there is at most 2 minutes of actual footage of my subject. So what I wanted to do was just import the parts of the clip I want, so I can avoid importing the whole 6 hours, and then add a text title of some sort that shows the date/time. My problem is that once I get this clip I have easy way of establising the TOD short of taking the clip capture time and then counting up using the SMTPE Timecode. In this regard iMovie makes it easier because I can just hover over the clip and see the TOD of that specific frame. iMovie on the other hand would force me to import the whole 6 hour video so i'm left moving between both programs which is less than ideal.

  • I use Garageband 09 to record voice overs via podcasting, female narrator noisy, but keep getting an intermittent clicking sound. It's not the metronome. I have a good quality external USB mic plugged in. Any ideas?

    I use GarageBand 09 to record voice overs via the Podcasting then Female Narrator Noisy utility. I have a good quality external mic plugged in. I keep getting an intermittent clicking sound on the audio track. It's not the metronome as that is turned off. I have to edit out the clicking after recording. I can see the spikes on the waveline. Any ideas how I can prevent this happening?

    Hi again and thanks so much for replying.
    The 'mic jack' on the old mic is both wide and large, measuring about an inch and a quarter from the base (where it comes out of the black encasing) to the edge of the tip (sort of cone shaped). As I can't plug this in directly to any port in the back of the Mac, I thought it might be possible to to buy some sort of adapter so that I could plug in the jack at one end, with a USB connector at the other end to go straight into the Mac. But I see from your comment that you are suggesting a smaller jack itself (i.e., large size jack to small size jack and then plug in to the small round port, instead of jack to USB port)?
    At the Mac shop I bought a USB adapter to connect up a second monitor (screen). I've just dug out the package and it's called a mini display port to VGA adapter. But back to the mic issue, I don't want to use the old mic really, I'm just trying to eliminate whether or not my usual mic, or its USB cable, is at fault and causing the clicking.
    I looked on Amazon for a suitable adapter but there was mention of these little gadgets having a sound card. As the Mac obviously has its own internal sound card, I couldn't see the point of another (exernal) one, unless it was actually required to convert the sound from input to output (playback) or something. One review said sound quality was lost but the person had a problem with his speakers, not a ticking sound while playing back recordings - which is obviously my problem.
    I do have a headset that I used to use for Skype. It has a pink and a green jack. I could plug one into the "headphones symbol' port and try recording again with Garageband. At least the jack is the right size. Again, this is just for the purpose of eliminating whether my good mic on a stand with the anti-popping sheild is at fault.
    While my Mac does have both inbuilt speakers (I don't need external ones) and an inbuilt microphone, the latter is not of a high enough quality for voice overs, hence buying an external mic etc. But whatever is causing the clicking or ticking is obviously affecting the quality of my recordings. As you can imagine, it is very time-consuming to edit out the ticking spikes and if the noise appears during speech, you can't edit it out at all.
    Please keep the suggestions coming. I am determined to get to the bottom of this for my sake and everyone else who is suffering from the same problem!

  • How Do I Add A Pre-recorded Voice Over to an iMovie Project?

    I have an audio file with the voice over I want to add to my movie project (which has an insturmental music track I want to duck during the voice over). How can I add this pre-recorded voice over track to my project?

    You can drag in the voiceover file and drop it on top of the clip where you want it to start. It does not have to be perfectly placed, because you can fine tune it later by dragging.
    I would suggest putting your voiceover file in iTunes and dragging in from the music browser, but it also works to drag in from the Finder. If you drag in from the Finder, you must take care not to move it later, or the iMovie Project will not be able to find it.

  • HT4322 if i have song in English, Portuguese, Italian and other languages, will voice-over be able to speak correctly

    if i have song in English, Portuguese, Italian and other languages, will voice-over be able to speak correctly

    The way VoiceOver works is by "recording" the computer's voice speaking those song names on the computer during the sync.  The shuffle is not actually generating a voice and speaking the names.  It is just playing the recording of computer speaking those names.
    Therefore, if the computer voice can say the names properly, you should hear the names properly using VoiceOver.

  • Just installed Firefox 18 and now when I hover over bookmarks they get blacked out, why ?

    Just installed Firefox 18 and now when I hover over bookmarks they get blacked out, why?
    Windows 7 ,Lenovo G580, 8Gb Mem, 4GB AMD radion graphics card, no other changes other than installing FF18

    in this case the obvious other candidate would be an incompatible extension - can you disable them one-by-one to find out which one is interfering.
    alternatively you could try to reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks & passwords): [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]
