Cubase 5 - Problems Recording Audio

I'll just cut straight to it, I cannot record audio at all. I experienced no problems when I had Cubase SX on the PC, but since using a mac for the best part of a year, I can't for the life of me figure out how to set this up the right way!
Any help out there, guys?

I haven't actually! How would I exactly? I've taken a screen shot of the Audio MIDI Setup... http://i56.tinypic.com/1zwiwqa.png
P.S. Sorry for the late reply, been pretty hectic of late!

Problem recording audio from sampler...

Problem recording audio from sampler (MPC 1000) to Logic using midi trigger thru Lexicon Omega box.
When I hit the record button in Logic, it triggers my mpc to start playing. Logic then picks up the incoming audio signal on the appropriate track and starts recording the audio... PROBLEM- Logic appears to keep restarting the incoming audio, repeating the first 1/4 of the first 1Bar. So every time I hear the metronome tempo counter as it records, the incoming audio replays from the beginning and this is what gets recorded. On the contrary when I'm controlling the sampler via midi and just hit the play button in Logic, the audio signal comes threw and plays the full 4 bars of the audio that I want recorded.
Any idea on how I can fix this? It seems like it has to do with my metronome counter or midi time code?
Thanks to all that help!

Thanks, good suggestion but these are music instruction dvds that aren't copyrighted.

Problem recording Audio since 10.5.7 update

Hi,
I have a MBP Late 2008 and a Mackie Spike XD-2 sound card (used with USB), Garageband 4.1.2 and Logic pro 8.0.2
However since the update, every time I record audio with the Mackie, all audio guitar and vocals is distorted, crackly and almost electronic sounding.
I have tried it through Garage band and Logic pro 8.0.2. and both have the same effect.
I was able to record fine on 10.5.6 and I know that there is nothing wrong with the sound card as it works on another macbook running a lower OS prior to 10.5.7.
I haven't got time machine running. I do have an external HD for my PC but when I connected it to my mac it said that I would have to re-format it which I am unable to do due to the large amount of windows documents on it.
I am really unsure whet to do. Can you roll back to 10.5.6 by re-installing it? or if I re-install my original OS and update to 10.5.6 will it remove all of my data and programs.
Please help, I'l tearing my hair out here and really need to get my recording done.
Thanks

Of course not, but some old printers and other hardware will eventually not be supported.
According to Apple, Snow Leopard will only run on Intel machines.
"Mac computer with an Intel processor - 1GB of memory"
No jus joking but really they must have some liability for ensuring the compatibility of 3rd party devices that were compatible in previous versions of Mac os x.
They cannot insure that each and every piece of hardware in the world is supported by every update. It's up to the user to properly vet the updates. The best way is to clone the OS and update the clone and see what works and what does not work.
I mean mackie doesn't write the software?
They don't? Somebody does. Maybe that's the problem.

Problem recording audio in iMovie

I am currently having problems recording a voice over in iMovie. I have checked the The system settings and it is recognizing my usb microphone as the source for input. I can also record audio within another project, just not in the one I want to. This makes me think something has been changed within the project settings. Any suggestions?

If the QT movies"that iMovie generates" are fine, then your DVDs that iMovie makes may be fine since iDVD uses QT movies. I would try one, SHare to MEdia Browser at the highest resolution (this can take hours) then open iDVD and migrate to that movie, drag it into iDVD window and burn and see.

Problems recording audio through garageband

Hello Mac world, I'm completely new to the Mac computers, and just purchased my MacBook Pro with a 2.3 ghz quad-core i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and 512 GB SSD, so I don't think specs are the problem to my issue. I purchased the Mac to record audio, and also purchased an audio interface to record through (Focusrite Scarlett 2i2). I have downloaded the most recent drivers for that. I connected my guitar through the instrument input, connected the interface through USB, and connected headphones into the headphone jack. I can hear the audio playback while I play through the headphones, but my problem relates to the actual recording process, as well as the audio playback.
When recording, I get the following error: "Error while trying to synchronize Audio and MIDI - Sample rate 41068 recognized. Check conflict between GarageBand and external device". I read that GarageBand requires a sample rate of 41000, but I don't know how to check/change that. I also can't hear the metronome or the count in while I play/record. My input source is Mono 1 (Scarlett 2i2 USB), instead of Stereo (Scarlett 2i2 USB) in both my GarageBand preferences and my System Preferences.
Next, I have a problem hearing the audio playback after recording. Again, I can hear the guitar while I play, but not after I record. Also, like I mentioned above, I can't hear any metronome or count in.
I also successfully recorded using a MIDI controller when connecting directly from the controller to computer using USB. Again, I don't think that my system specs are an issue, but I am completely new to the Mac side of things, and am not sure where I am going wrong with this.
Does anyone have any clues as to what the issue may be? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Adam

WO HOO I answered my own question.
I found this little gem of a tutorial:
http://homepage.mac.com/beryrinaldo/gbsf/
...which outlines how to route DV audio into garageband using soundflower. Worked like a charm!

Problem recording audio 'overwrite'

I have a demo file recorded and attempted to use the audio
dropdown to re-record audio. The process went normally - the system
tested for audio signal and the recording was done. I pressed stop
and the top of the window said that the recording would replace the
existing audio. However, when I close that window the original
audio is still there. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Hi,
Make SURE the track you are going to record onto is:
1. An AUDIO track. MIDI tracks, aux objects, bus objects,etc. do not record audio, ever. Only AUDIO tracks do this.
2. Has the CORRECT input chosen. Check the channel parameters on the left of the arrange page to see what the input is.
3. Is RECORD-ENABLED (the r that turns red when you click it)
Also, make SURE your Core Audio is the latest version.
Cheers

Problem Recording Audio Stream: audacity, HDA Intel ALC882, Stereo Mix

Hi,
I am trying to record an audio stream using Audacity, but I am having problems. From the mixer toolbar dropdown, I have various options for mic, line, cd, but there is no option for 'stereo mix.' I have looked at alsamixer, and none of the capture channels are muted. I would be grateful if someone could point me in the correct direction.
Regards,
Ian Sutherland

You need pulseaudio to capture from the mixer. Try this:

it worked for me in my Lenovo T61 with HDA Intel sound
Good luck

Problem Recording Audio

Hi All,
I have an audio conferencing application which is working quite well. All of the audio is relayed through the server to the appropriate clients. I am in the process of making these meetings archivable; to do so I need to save the the incoming stream on the server side to a file while retransmitting it. The problem is that the client sends out the stream in RAW_RTP format (RTP won't send) and I can't find a way to create a datasink based on this type of audio. I get the error: Cannot find a DataSink for: com.sun.media.multiplexer.RawBufferMux$RawBufferDataSource. I have tried converting to several different types of formats, the only one that actually worked was .aiff but when I went to open it the file was corrupted. Is there any way to create a datasink based on received RAW_RTP stream?
Here is the code for saving the audio (on the server side):
        teacherArchiveProcessor = Manager.createProcessor(ds);
            if (!waitForState(teacherArchiveProcessor, Processor.Configured)){
                System.out.println("Error - Could not configure processor.");
                return;
           FileTypeDescriptor cd = new FileTypeDescriptor(FileTypeDescriptor.AIFF);
           teacherArchiveProcessor.setContentDescriptor(cd);
            TrackControl track = teacherArchiveProcessor.getTrackControls()[0];
            track.setFormat(track.getFormat());
            System.out.println("Track is set to transmit as:");
            System.out.println(" " + track.getSupportedFormats()[0]);
            if (!waitForState(teacherArchiveProcessor, Processor.Realized)){
                System.out.println("Error - Could not realize processor.");
                return;
            MediaLocator dest = new MediaLocator("file://archive.aiff");
            teacherArchiveDataSink = Manager.createDataSink(teacherArchiveProcessor.getDataOutput(), dest);
            teacherArchiveDataSink.open();
            teacherArchiveDataSink.start();
            //Start sending
            teacherArchiveProcessor.start();Here is the code for the sending out the audio (on the client side):
CaptureDeviceInfo di = (CaptureDeviceInfo) CaptureDeviceManager.
                    getDeviceList(new AudioFormat("linear")).firstElement();
            mediaLocator = di.getLocator();
            //Get the datasource
            dataSource = Manager.createDataSource(mediaLocator);
            //Create the processor
            processor = Manager.createProcessor(mediaLocator);
            if (!waitForState(processor, Processor.Configured)){
                System.out.println("Error - Could not configure processor.");
                return;
           ContentDescriptor cd = new ContentDescriptor(ContentDescriptor.RAW_RTP);
           processor.setContentDescriptor(cd);
            TrackControl track = processor.getTrackControls()[0];
            track.setFormat(new Format("LINEAR"));
            System.out.println("Track is set to transmit as:");
            System.out.println(" " + track.getFormat());
            if (!waitForState(processor, Processor.Realized)){
                System.out.println("Error - Could not realize processor.");
                return;
            dataOutput = processor.getDataOutput();
            //Create the transmitter
            PushBufferDataSource pbds = (PushBufferDataSource) dataOutput;
            SendStream sendStream = rtpSendManager.createSendStream(dataOutput, 0);
            sendStream.start();
            //Start sending
            processor.start();
            sendingAudio = true;

I solved the issue. In case anyone else runs into the same issue you can save an incoming RAW_RTP stream by setting the content descriptor on the receiving side to FileTypeDescriptor.MPEG_AUDIO and setting the track to AudioFormat.MPEG. I found this out after hours and hours of trying random combinations until I found one that worked.

Trouble recording audio in Cubase SX with X-Fi Platinum

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to record audio in Cubase SX with my X-Fi Platinum. I have:
- Selected Creative ASIO for the ASIO driver
- Ensured that the VST inputs are set to the correct X-Fi input
- Ensured that the VST outputs are set to the X-Fi Front Left and Right outputs
- Switched on direct monitoring in the mixer, and I can hear the audio input before trying to record anything.
- Enabled recording for the audio track in my project
- There are no inserts, sends or EQ specified on the audio track - it's all clean.
My problem is this: When I hit the master record, the recording bar on the audio track doesn't move. On the occasions where the recording bar does move (I'm not sure how I managed to get it moving), no sound is being recorded - even though I can hear via direct monitoring the sound that I am trying to record.
The other symptom that I am getting is that the VU meter for the audio track in the mixer is not displaying or moving prior to recording or during recording - even though I can still hear the audio via the direct monitoring.
I'm new to Cubase SX, and I'm probably missing something simple. Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

You brought up quite old thread so maybe no vista yet at that time.
Sometimes, setting latency too low may prevent recording/playing ... or setting the monitoring
false (there are hardware monitoring and software monitoring which maybe can't be used at once).
SX has also a settings option named as "Lower Latency" which sometimes is best to leave disabled.

HD read-write problems recording more of 16 audio tracks

I've a strange problem that i don't have in digital performer with rosetta!
When i record more of 5-6 track...for example 16...when i stop the registration....logic is blocked for 30-40 seconds....and then it begin to create overview!
in this time i've see the hd read and write at 5 mb/sec....
It isn't normal!!! I've tried all the settings of audio driver and buffer....but nothing change
anybody can help me?!?
p.s. sorry for my bad english!

1 : Waht sample Rate are u using -
2 : I have disk Journaling on and record @ 96KHZ - and can do 64 tracks simoultaneously (split on 4 drives)
3 : Is your recording drive very fragmented if so defragment it
4 : Dont EVER record to your system drive - too much activity going on there
5 : Set your Max Recording time to 10 minutes in the "Set record path" dialog in Logic ( If you have not set the max rec. time Logic will "Freeze" all available space on the disk for the recording and that can lead to problems especially if u aint using a dedicated hard drive to wirte your audio to
6 : it is very important to have a dedicated drive to record audio to - being an internal SATA or Firewire 400/800 - as long as this drive is being used to record only...This has solved many problems for me...

Pause button problem while recording audio

Someone talked about that problem on another post but I think
that problem deserve a post for it...
We have a probleme when using the pause button while
recording audio on a slide.
If we hit the pause button, it completely deletes all
previous recording in the slide.
If someone have a long text to read for a slide he cannot
take a break and think if everything is ok. Our clients are
disappointed and calls this function.
Do you have an idea when that problem will be solved ?
Thank

Hi Edji, I could not agree more. We reported this to Adobe
months ago and it has been acknowledged, but no information will be
made availlable about any fix release date. We have over 500 staff
users making recordings using Presenter and have trained the
majority on version 6. Imagine the number of supports calls we have
had to deal with when suddenly the pause button deletes all
previous slide recordings in version 7.
Depsite many attampts to get a resolution for this we have
had nothing aside from the suggestion above which certainly does
not fix the issue. It is a significant bug in the program that has
caused us endless hours of support work.
We are quite dissappointed at present with the lack of
reponse to the need for a fix and are currently evaluating a number
of other products.
Pityful but true.

Problem with the preview of recorded audio

Hi lads! I'm running Logic 8 in my iMac, with a RME Fireface400 interface (connected through a Lacie external firewire hard disk), and I have a small problem.....
I'm trying to record audio using my audio interface. I can record audio into Logic with no problem, everthing works fine, but the recorded audio part just looks empty in Logic! It is really recorded, and it sounds, but it just look like an empty audio part.
If i close the project and I re-open it, the audio is prevosialized and it looks fine.
I know it is a small deal, but it can be very annoying! This thing happens since I bought the RME, but....it really looks like a Logic issue....
Is there any option like "auto preview recorded audio" in Logic? Does anybody know how to solve this little issue?
Thanks!

So what you are saying is that no overwiew of the waveform has been drawn? And that it has been drawn when you reload the song?
Open the region with the audio file in the *Sample Editor*, and choose *Refresh Overview(s)* from the *Audio File* menu in the Sample Editor.
regards, Erik.

Problem in recording audio on Note 2,3 (AIR 13)?

Peace be upon you ^_^
My team and I developed an android game using flash pro cs6, we published it like two months ago.
Now,we are fixing the bugs for the next update.
1 level in the game accesses the microphone to check for input only,doesn't record anything (record audio permission)..
it just listens for sound to blow up a balloon.It works perfectly on most devices,but some users reported it not working !
I checked some cases my self, it didn't work on Samsung Note 2,3 running jellybean 4.4.2, some SIII phones and others.
my phone is SIII (jeallybean 4.3) and it works fine on it ..
WHY? what could be the problem?
I suspect it's AIR compatibility problem with some android versions ... :/
*please note that AIR runtime is embedded inside the app (captive)
thank you for your help

Problem with audio quality using Record Audio Comment

I am recording audio comments in Adobe Acrobat Professional using the "Record Audio Comment" tool. The sound quality is bad--very scratchy and has a noisy hum. I am using a good USB headset/microphone. Recordings outside of Acrobat are fine, e.g., in Audacity. I have tried two different microphones with both Acrobat 8 and 9 on two different computers (a desktop and a laptop) with similar results.
I have not found an audio quality setting in Acrobat. Is there some way to improve the audio quality when recording comments? I suspect Acrobat is compressing the audio so much in order to save file size, however, the poor quality makes it almost unusable.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice. I know I can record outside of Acrobat and then add the pre-recorded audio as a comment, but that defeats the purpose.
Bev

Sorry to hear you are having problems.
A few things you can try:
1. Turning the volume of your TV up too high during a call can cause the kinds of audio problem you describe. Try turning the TV volume down and this should stop the 'feedback' problems you are having.
2. If you are using external speakers, then try switching these off and using the speakers built in to the TV. The TV was originally tested for Skype using the TV's internal speakers, so if you have a soundbar or other external speakers connected, the audio performance may suffer on Skype calls.
Best wishes

Recording audio from a MicroKorg

Anyone?
I have set up a tascam us-122, microKorg synthesizer/vocoder along with my speakers. Have not had any problems listening to audio, using midi etc. etc. Trying to record audio into LE8.0 from the Korg and am receiving an Error Mp2 code not found? Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong? I have not had any issues when recording into garage band or cubase with the Korg and am able to utilize LE8.0 fine other than this issue.

Hi,
it sounds a bit like a driver problem. I've heard that mp2 is often used as the "language" by which an audio/video interface and computer cummunicate. Have you updated to Leopard recently??
I'd certainly check if the interface is still working in Garageband or Cubase.
Regards,
Jaap
