CS4 Audio echoes while capturing

Hello, The audio sounds like an echo while I am capturing, the second voice is heard about 1 - 2 seconds later. How can I get rid of this problem? The recorded material does not have this problem. Please help me get rid of the duplicate sound. Thanks

There have been reports of a lot of issues with Audio and Matrox. Often, getting the latest Matrox driver will clear these up, but sometimes, that is not good enough.
Good luck,

Audio levels while capturing

i would like to get rid of my huge yamaha audio mixing console and to work "only" within the computer.
is there any way to enhance the audio level while capturing software-wise? very often i have dvd or S-VHS material that is around minus 20 dB ! ! ! with the maximum amount of 12 db within the mixer i cant really do that much.
of course there is always the possibility to export to soundtrack pro or nuendo and to do all the audio levels there.... but for every day work this is just to to much work. i like to have my material digitized with proper levels.
thanks for your input!

Have you tried "send to soundtrack pro" w video? It's pretty cool. the soundtrack pro plugins work great for run of the mill stuff great little compressor and a great little limiter, plus you get to see your video with no doubt of sync relation ships. Other than that get a couple mic/line preamps and a clean compressor check out

outstanding tools for the three times the price let alone the price point. handy for vo etc too.

Audio echo during capture CS3

During capture I get this terrible audio echo. If I go into the Windows mixer panel and set a slider called Premiere down to zero that will stop it. But if I then wish to hear the audio (from Premiere) after the capture I have to turn it up again. Sureley this is not the correct way to do it.
It seems as though the input audio is being monitored and the delayed Premiere output at the same time. This will only happen when the capture screen is open.
Anyone any idea how to stop this without constantly playing with the mixer?
Very annoying.

Problem is only while the capture screen is being used. The delay is very pronounced.
So, your Captured footage does not exhibit this echo. Is that correct? Obviously, you have a latency issue. What are your Audio playback settings? I would also wonder about the Matrox card, as these have caused all sorts of Audio issues, though I do not recall any with Capture.
If the first statement is true, then your footage is clean and good, and all you have to do is adjust the necessary settings during Capture.
Good luck,

Final Cut Express...Audio monitoring while capturing video.

Does anyone know how to monitor audio while capturing?

You might try posting in the FCE forum, very few Express users here in the Final Cut Pro forum.
In FCP, the function—and limitations—is clearly explained in the manual. I hope Apple's FCE manual and online help system are as thorough.

Loud Audio Noise while Capturing in PP 5.5

I am using a Formac Firewire Audio & Video external capture device with a Firewire 400 to 800 cable to my 12 Core Mac Pro 2.9 GHZ.
Does anyone else use this device?
I am getting a strong audio noise thru the firewire port regardless if my audio input in the "Line In" or "Digital In" in the system.
The noise does not occur in any other application that records video which uses the system audio line in.
I guess my question is "Can you change the Audio Input Device" fo Capturing Video in PP ?
I cant find it .. so I guess not.

Some more information which might help.
Below is a grab of a sequence I've created in PP to show what I'm seeing.
As you can see there are two clips in the timeline, the first pink clip is the finished AE comp which has been imported into PP via the file menu and placed into the timeline, both video and audio play, and are present in the timeline (in pink) so that is a work around if necessary.
The second clip in the timeline has been dynamically linked via the FILE MENU/ADOBE DYNAMIC LINK/REPLACE WITH AFTER EFFECTS COMPOSITION. The video effects that have been applied in the AE comp appear in PP but no audio and as you can see in the PP timeline the A1 is still the origonal file's audio track (in blue under the pink AE comp)

Record more than 2 audio channels whil capturing?

Is there a way to capture video and 4 audio sources via firewire all at once? I am using a Motu Traveler and Final Cut 4 for this project. I've seen somewhere that there are 4 channels of audio when capturing DV and it seems that I am able to capture audio inputs 1&2 or 3&4 but not both.
If I can't do it with the items I have suggested , is there another way?

You need to ask this question on the FInal Cut Pro forum.

Audio problems while capturing

In FCE4, I am capturing 8mm tape from an old camera, I use DV converter in the easy setup, and have no problem capturing footage. Except when i drag the clip onto the timeline, when I playback there is no audio output. I have my volume up on my laptop, and the waveforms are showing on the timeline in audible setting. Even the audio bars to the right are registering audio but nothing is coming out of the speakers during playback. Can anyone help me? I'm sure it's a switch somewhere I need to change. Thanks for your time.

Try View>Video Out>Canvas Playback.

No sound while capturing video

how do i get audio (sound) while capturing video. I know about audio scrubbing and canvas playback for editing but while capturing video I am not getting sound.

During capturing, sound will not play through your computer's speakers. Many cameras will play it through their internal speakers or you can connect external speakers directly to your camera

Bad audio connection on P-35 Platinum moBo, while capturing analog video?

Before I give up, I'm reaching out to MSI and any persons suffering from out-of-sync audio and video capture issues while using Pinnacle Studio Video editing software. Studio Ultimate HD v.14.
I've posted numerous inquiries to the Pinnacle Support team, the Pinnacle Forum site, as well as the GrassValley (Canopus 110 or 300, I was thinking about trying that) and really never got anywhere.
A few people had mentioned maybe the sync issue could be caused by a bad analog signal and it will drop video or audio frames hence the sync problem. Bringing the video into the capture mode in Studio is fine, but the audio has about a 6 second latency delay, which never recovers.
Could it be the REALTEK HD Sound Audio on my P-35 MoBo, maybe bad? I play music, and everything else coming out of my speakers sound fine, it's just the syncing issues with a PCI device that never locks in both the Video with the audio, because there are two different incoming devices. Analog camera video-out to PCI Video-IN, and audio out from analog camera to onboard, MoBo Realtek audio input.
The PCI-500 capture that originally came with my first Studio product (Studio movieboard 12.1) has NO Audio RCA input, only FireWire, S-video, and Video IN and OUT)
P-35 Platinum MS-7345 Mobo

Realtek HD Audio Output Sound
DirectX version: 9.0c
Monitor: Viewsonic VX2035wm Series
WD 500 GB HDD / WD 74GB RAPTOR HDD
Pinnacle PCI-500 Capture card

I use the MSI Live Update 4 to update drivers, BIOS, VGA,and Utilities. This system is about four years old. I'm just afraid to flash or update BIOS, thinking I could screw things up.
So I guess my question here is to ask, if maybe the audio input jack on my P-35 Mobo could be defective? Thank you!

Have you try out with a standalone add on sound card? Sometimes, sync problem can be due to processing power or RAM space needed for rendering and merging.

SETTING to hear AUDIO while CAPTURING?

Hi...
(another) silly settings question.
How can I hear audio while capturing from my HDV deck?
When capturing from a DV device (a camera), the 'preview' box enabled me to monitor the audio from the tape while either screening it or when capturing it.
I don't see that 'preview' box as an option in the HDV log and caputure window.
Although I'm capturing audio from the HDV source, I can't hear it while it's loading. It's a little annoying as I'd like to be able to hear the tape as a way to decide if it's even worth capturing.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark

We're here all week, try the liver.
I've always been a believer in monitoring in the signal chain. Granted I don't work much with HDV-- but monitoring what is going into and out of the computer, rather than relying on the computer's built in audio seems to be the way to go. Then you know what's coming off the tape, and what's going back down to the tape.

Audio missing while previewing/capturing

I have been trying to capture from my Sony PD170. But I there is no audio while previewing the tape. I am editing a documentary film and audio is of utmost importance to me. The studio I have hired has DG Beta set-up, thus I'm using my cam to capture from. The editor has no clue. I tried changing audio settings but that did not work as well. I need help as my time and money are at stake. Thanks! Oh and it is FCP 6 by the way.

I don't think this is a recommended practice. Occasionally people report random clicking in the captured files if the audio is monitored thru the mac while capturing. Monitoring the audio thru the mac while capturing requires that the system resample the audio on the fly and this adds to system overhead. Although many people do this without problems, it does happen.
It is much smarter to monitor the audio directly out of the camera or deck. Most professional fcp workstations have patchbays so it should be possible to route the audio from the deck to the speakers.

Is it possible to monitor audio through my mac while capturing from a tape in FCPX

Is it possible to monitor audio through my mac while capturing from a tape in FCPX?

I am sure that as you import a tape you will hear the audio as well as see the video.
Have you got FCP X?
If not, download the free 30 day trial.

Monitoring and previewing audio while capturing HDV

I have seen this discussion in the thread but there is no solution.
When capturing HDV via firewire, the audio is being previewed. This didn't used to happen. Is there a way to turn this off so that I can use other programs with sound like itunes? I can't find any way of doing this.
Any solution?

so that I can use other programs with sound like itunes..
Buy another computer and use that for iTunes. Seriously.
If you start dedicating CPU cycles and RAM to listening to music while capturing, you are asking for trouble. Dropped frames, glitches, messed up files (pick one or more)
Yes, there is another way -uncheck the audio preview button.

Turning OFF Audio Playback during capture?

When capturing a tape from my video camera in Premiere Pro, How do I turn off the audio playback while recording?
I want to record the audio and the video, but I don't want to hear the tape's audio playing back through my computer speakers while recording. The technician I spoke to over the phone was extremely unhelpful and suggested I simply mute my computer speakers if I don't want to hear it. What if I want to listen to music or am trying to watch another video file in a different program without having to hear the premiere pro audio blaring over it. Please someone tell me the rude technician I spoke to did not understand clearly what I was asking and if anyone knows how to accomplish this or can shed anymore light on the topic.
I just spent 40 minutes on the phone with an adobe tech support rep who took 40 minutes to correctly understand the issue I was calling for and then informed me that the functionality does not exist within the premiere pro software. Sorry if this comes off as a little edgy, but my tech "support" call was extremely frustrating and now to find that premiere pro wont let you listen to anything in any other program while recording seems a little rediculous.
Thanks,

It is risky to run other applications while capturing footage. May lead to dropped frames. I have found that Premiere is a resource hog and more likely to have this problem than other capture programs. Not that Premiere is a bad program for capture, but you might find an alternative that provides a better solution for your specific need.
It has been a few years since using Scenalyzer, but I always found that program to be extremely reliable and flexible. And it has the capability of silencing the audio during capture. Since you didn't say what format you are capturing I can't say whether Scenalyzer will work for you. Check it out.
I don't think Harm was being condesending at all. He is simply warning you about the potential problems your system may face by attempting to multi-task in the manner you describe. It's up to you to decide if you want to follow the advice you seek here.
Good luck
