Digi 001 with FCE 3..do they go?

Hey Gurus!
I have a Digi 001 which I'd like to use to monitor my audio in FCE 3 as I have powered monitors connected up.
It works fine for iTunes, but i can't get it to work for FCE. I looked for some audio output settings in the programme but no joy.
In the Mac's system preferences>Sound, the Digi 001 is the selected audio device, and like I said iTunes, Peak and ProTools ( kinda obviously) all work with the 001.
Any tips gratefully accepted.
pete

A common problem, unfortunately I don't have a definitive answer. I use Protools 6.4, core audio driver 6.4 (downloaded separately), Digi 002R, as well as FCE 1.0.1. One issue that I've found is that the core audio driver is not a multi app driver. so once launched with an app, you need to re start only launching FCE. Is that the for FCE 3? Not sure. I would try putting the audio core driver in the dock and launching FCE, you should see it kick in by making sure the arrow is on next to the core driver. Be sure you turn on you Protools hardware first of course.
Hope this was helpful to some degree,
Good Luck Josh Silver

  • Logic 7 with Digi 001

    Hi all, first time in this forum. I am using a QS g4 on 10.3.5 with a digi 001, apogee rosetta and a SwisSonic lightpipe to analog i/o. I am able to easily achieve 18 in & 18 out with this setup using pro tools LE 6.4 and digidesign core audio setup 6.4.
    Again, 18 I/O is no problem using pro tools, but logic will only recognize 12. I'm nervous about updating the OS and the Core audio, since everything is super stable, but if someone tells me that this is the fix I will.
    Quicktime is version 6.5.1. I'm not sure if that's pertinent, but why not include it.
    Thank you for any advice in advance!

    Just test it on a copy of your system (another hard drive). It probably will only make things worse-soon enough you'll realize you are in th market for another audio card. If it is because of Digi's audio driver you get 12 then I don't even think they updated the 001 after that release, or? If it is then odds are even further against you. I'd just say, take an hour and test it out.

  • Tiger 10.4.6 + Logic 7.2 + digi 001 no worky...HELP!!

    hi there,
    so i received updates last night and installed.
    - tiger 10.4.6
    - logic 7.2
    - g4 dual 1.25 ghz with 1.25 ram
    so i've been using my digi 001 as my soundcard, running coreaudio. after installing everything last night, the 001 was not being seen by the version of coreaudio i had, think it was 6.4. so i upgraded that to coreaudio 7.0. still no luck with the 001. read on a thread this morning that coreaudio 7.0 doesn't support the 001. ah, yet another notch in my 'i hate digidesign' belt.
    so, in this thread it said coreaudio 6.9.2 worked with the 001 AND tiger. so i trashed coreaudio 7.0 and grabbed 6.9. installed, and when firing it up, it at least recognizes the 001, but says it's in use, though i see nothing else open. any thoughts here?
    another item:
    i use a hd24 to track all my live audio and use logic primarily for mixing and virtual instruments. i could get by without the 001, what sound cards would you folks recommend? and they don't even have to have audio in capabilities.
    thanks! hope someone can help!
    andrew

    ah, david, you're the post i saw earlier! yay! ok, so i do always fire up coreaudio first. usually it's all systems go, but last night/today, no dice. i just completely shut down and rebooted. only think i've fired up is coreaudio, it says:
    digidesign hw: digi 001
    status: not connected (hw in use)
    and the hw setup button is not active. i did open up the audio/midi utility and the 001 is there and have it selected as my defaults.
    what do you suggest?
    THANKS!

  • Digi 001 Core Audio Manager and Logic 7.1

    I just upgraded to Pro 7.1 from logic 5.5.1. When I would start up 5.1.1 it would automaticly startup the coreaudio manager for the Digi. I've noticed now using 7.1 that I have to start the Digi Core Audio Manager before starting up Logic Pro or it will not recognize the Digi at all, and will remove the digi as a sound card selection. Does anyone else experience this same issue? Is it normal? I read into the logic help and it said with a TDM or HD digi hardware this would be necessary. I'm confused help would be appreciated.

    Yes, this is normal when using Logic Pro 7.1 and Digi Coreaudio version 6.4. They seem to have fixed this in more recent versions of the coreaudio manager, but 6.4 is the last revision supported by the Digi 001.

  • Can I use  a MY Book Pro external 500 gig Triple interface HD with FCE?

    Hey everyone,
    I just recently bought a Macbook pro and purchased FCE HD 3.5. I want to purchase a high capacity external HD. I want it mainly for my projects with FCE and other members of the family will be backing up to it. I want to keep my projects on the external and work on them from there not my main HD.
    After doing some online research I was about to purchase the LaCie Big Disk Extreme. However there seemed to be a lot of bad reviews about early disk failures. The G Technology drives sound great but are a little pricey.
    I came across the MY Book Pro addition 500 gig Triple interface HD from Western Digital and found that the 500 gig pro had similar spec to the LaCie but they never mention in the specs that it can be used for video editing. They only mention "Fast enough for video editing" in the 1TB raid 0 version. I'm just wondering if anyone is having success using the My Book Pro Edition. I checked the forums first and even check specs from apple on external drives and FCE but I was hope for some real use advise. I'm not trying to cheap out, I'm just trying not to buy a lemon & get the most storage and speed for my buck. I'll buy they higher end if I should. My video productions right now are 10 minute long movies with some video clips and stills but I'm hoping to advance to bigger (High Def) things. Any advise in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
    The specs from Western Digital are as follows:
    My Book™ Pro Edition™
    External Hard Drives
    500 GB, Triple Interface
    Rotational Speed
    7,200 RPM (nominal)
    Average Latency
    4.20 ms (nominal)
    Seek Times
    Read Seek Time
    8.9 ms
    Track-To-Track Seek Time
    2.0 ms (average)
    Serial Transfer Rate
    FireWire 800
    Serial Bus Transfer Rate (1394b)
    800 Mbits/s (Max)
    Macbook Pro 17" 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The 500GB MyBook Pro should work fine. Just be sure to use a Firewire connection (not USB) to your Mac and format the drive as Mac OS Extended - Journaled. It will come from the factory as FAT32, so you'll need to reformat it. But wait - don't reformat it until you offload the ButtonManager, FW Driver and Retrospect software. You will need the first two to install your drive.
    And that's one of the reasons I stay away from the MyBook drives - they were really designed for Windows systems, not Macs. For one, they have their own FireWire drivers and I see no reason to be required to install device-specific drivers on my Mac in order to use a consumer-grade hard drive. As far as I'm concerned, that's just bad design (or, perhaps design for systems other than Macs ...).
    The 500GB Lacie Big Disk did get a bunch of bad reviews. However, the 500GB Lacie d2 Extreme is the same price and has much better reviews. The Lacie d2 Extreme drives are quite reliable; I have many and not one of them has failed me over the years. The 320GB d2 Extreme is currently $140 at newegg.com. See how that compares to the price of the MyBook.

  • IPod updates 2 touch with the new software, and from the update they are not connected with Time phase. They appear calling but never they enter the calls. I make calls with other users and if one connects but in these two not from the update

    I use Firefox 95% of the time, and there's no problem with flash content (and I'm still at .55 - downloaded .64 last week but I haven't got round to making the change yet). At the rate they've been changing it recently it may well be out of date already .
    I've been trying it in Safari, too with no problems apart from You Tube, but that's because I'm blocking Google cookies.
    One thought does occur - if your Flash preferences are set to block all Local Storage, it may be that the problem site is trying to use Flash cookies (LSOs). I had this problem recently with the BBC iPlayer streaming content. Little Snitch notified an attempt to connect to a new URL - emp.bbci.co.uk.
    If I disallowed it, no streaming; when I allowed the connection, it still wouldn't stream, so I did a bit of digging and came to the conclusion that it was trying to set a Flash cookie. When I unblocked, lo and behold - streaming resumed as normal.
    I now have LSOs blocked in a more subtle way that lets the site think it's being set (but it ain't) and the streaming still works.
    As for permissions repair - always repair from local; the permissions on the original disc will have been superceded by updates and new installations of Apple software.
    DU needs to be reading the packages on the HD, not the (now out of date) install disc.
    The recurring repair messages are normal and don't mean anything's wrong. As long as the final message is 'repair complete' there's no need to dwell on it.

  • Is there a preferred Video Camera in the forum for use with FCE?

    I am on the hunt for a new HD camcorder in the 800 to 1200 US dollar range. Is there a preferred recording format or anything specific to look for that will help my camera work best with FCE or better yet are there things I should try to avoid?
    I am looking for something compact so that I can carry it with me on trips easily, but still give a good quality HD image. Thanks

    The main consideration is that AVCHD is a hard drive based format whereas HDV is tape based. The nature of tapes is that they're relatively inexpensive so it's not such a big deal to save your tapes as backups in case you ever need to restore your project from the original footage. For AVCHD on the other hand, you'd need to make a backup by copying the whole file directory to an external drive for safe keeping, and if the drive fails or gets corrupted then you are out of luck.
    There are other less important things to keep in mind. AVCHD can reach a maximum resolution of 1920x1080, whereas HDV by comparison reaches its peak at 1440x1080. I've heard some say that AVCHD cameras generally work less well in low lighting conditions, but I personally haven't noticed too much of a difference. Finally, the market seems to generally be moving away from a tape based workflow. Not that AVCHD is exactly the format of the future (and you'll certainly be able to purchase DV tapes for a while to come), but it's something to keep in mind. FCE deals with the two formats differently as well, and it might be wise to skim over both the section in the User Manual about capturing and the one about the "Log and Transfer" process.
    As far as bugginess is concerned, I wouldn't say that one format is prone to more problems than the other. As long as you read up on the capture or ingest process before attempting anything you should be fine.
    Finally, keep in mind the fact that FCE transcodes both HDV and AVCHD into the Apple Intermediate Codec upon capture or ingest. AIC usually runs at about 41-50GB per hour, so you'll want to make sure that you have a fast external firewire drive to use as a scratch disk when editing to store your media.

  • Is Quicktime 7.6.6 compatible with FCE 3.5.1?

    Hi,
    Is Quicktime 7.6.6 compatible with FCE 3.5.1?
    I currently have Quicktime 7.6.4 and FCE 3.5.1 and everything works well. I see that there is an update for Quicktime 7.6.6. I think the update has been around for awhile.
    I've been burned in the past with upgrading QT with older versions of FCE and just want to be sure. If it's not compatible I'll stand pat. I wish Apple would tell you if an upgrade will disable older software, but I know they don't and I have to guess each time or rely on the experience of others here on this board. Yes, I could always upgrade my computer, software, etc, but I would rather save my money and use my existing stuff as long as I can.
    Thank you in advance for any insight.

    I can't answer your main question, but if QT 7.6.4 is working perfectly why bother to update?
    I know that psychologically we are programmed to crave the latest version of everything but in many cases there is no advantage whatsoever to be had.
    Having said that, I must admit I have just upgraded from Final Cut Studio 2 to version 3, which I suppose makes me something of a hypocrite, but everything I need to do could be accomplished with the earlier version!

  • Less and less camcorders compatible with FCE ?????

    Tell me if I'm wrong, but I'm looking at a lot of the 2007 HD consumer camcorders and there are less options available for MAC users. Even those at the $1600 mark. Are we going to see a decline in FCE use because APPLE is not stepping up to the plate? I mean c'mon, the APPLE compatibility list is so old, can they at least look at some new models and stick them on the list? I eman it's not alot. Look at the new Panasonic consumer camcorders, not many in HD but are they compatible? I'm hearing that are not with FCE, whereas the older GS models and others were? Whats the true story with this?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    The compatibility list is obsolete, and in my own opinion it's give more confusion than information.
    As prices go down for HDV consumer camera, the spec of camcorders going in the same direction.
    Recording on hard disk or DVD allows to minimize the form factory of camera and the cost of the camera itself.
    Push record, push stop, eject the DVD and watch the result on your TV: that's the consumer way to make movie.
    In the vast majority, consumers do not edit movies ( do you remember plain 8mm film? "no editing" for the mass, same thing for VHS video) .
    So camcorder's company focus on this mass of consumers: they simply don't need editing capability.
    FCE is not used by the vast majority.
    FCE is aimed toward prosumers and professional market: those persons do editing in an extensive way and the use prosumer or professionnal gears. Gears that use the reliable and mature system: DV (in all flavors) and HDV recorded on...DV tapes.
    I'm pretty sure that the next generation of iMovie will support newer recording media (it actually support DV, HDV and mpeg-4(a mass consumers format) before apple PRO applications like FCE.

  • Cameras to use with FCE

    I'm interested in upgrading from Imovie seeing as I know it like the back of my hand and feel limited by it at this point. I'm looking to get a new camera in the spring of this year, and I'm wondering what kind to get if I want a good one for a good price that would be great with FCE 4.
    Does everybody use Mini Dv cameras with this software? I don't see these in stores, and it this point to me it seems like they are old, clunky, and outdated. I'm no expert, but that's just the impression I get from them, so why are those the primary cameras used with FCE?
    So if anybody can answer these questions, and provide me a list of a few good cameras (Mini Dv or not) that would work with the program and not cost a fortune, I would be much obliged!

    FCE can work with DV, HDV and AVCHD camcorders.
    Most consumer/prosumer camcorders on the market today are AVCHD camcorders or a variation of AVCHD. Be aware - if the camcorder doesn't have the *AVCHD logo* or doesn't *specifically state in the specs* that it's AVCHD, then it's probably not AVCHD. Even if it says it's H.264 or MPEG4/AVC that does not automatically make it AVCHD - a lot of people have been burned not watching out for this.
    DV is, as you said, on the way out. 4:3 aspect ratio & standard def; however, decent DV camcorders can do anamorphic 16:9 and it turns out quite nice. So, you can do widescreen with many DV camcorders. HDV is still around and has a loyal following. There are some very nice HDV camcorders - Canon HV20/30/40 for example - and they're not too expensive.
    Another thing to keep in mind is that even though you shoot high def with HDV or AVCHD, when it comes time to burn a DVD of your video it will be standard def - because DVDs are by definition standard def. To burn hi-def optical disks, you have to get a BluRay burner, BluRay authoring software (DVD Studio Pro, Toast) and of course BD media. It's not cheap.

  • Problem with FCE 3.5HD preinstalled on MacPro

    I am getting the runaround from Apple's Online Store sales and support team. I received a MacPro preinstalled with FCE 3.5, but they didn;t send the discs. Now I cannot open the app because it requires a serial number for registration. I have made several calls to Sales Support (in Ireland) who tell me it's dealt with by a technical support team (no tel number), they have put me through three times and either I've had the wrong guy, no answer or they say it's an after-sales problem.
    I have used Macs for more than 15 years but this level of service has been the worst I've experienced. Basically I've bought FCE and cannot use it. Any similar problems, or suggestions as to actually get the "support" they say they offer but actually don't??

    Maurice,
    Even though the software was 'preinstalled' you should have received the installation discs. I would pursue Apple for delivery of the discs. Contact Apple Customer Service, not Sales Support. Use the Warranty contact (phone, email, mailing address) that came with your system.

  • FX programs compatible with FCE HD 3.0?

    I bought my copy of FCE HD 3.0 last year on the basis of an Apple customer service rep telling (and I quote) " there will always be an upgrade path to FC PRO". Techinically, that's still true but you have to buy the whole Pro studio package now just to get "MOTION".
    As I delve deeper in the Live Type effects that came bundled with FCE HD, I realized that having a full fledged FX program would (or should) let me do things I want to do much quicker than mucking about in either Live Type or FCE.
    Since Jobs & company have now gone over to the dark side and adopted the GATES mantra of "more money and don't forget to screw the little people", some of us can't afford the ultra bucks to buy a whole a suite just to get an FX program. My sense of betrayal by them is palpable.
    So can anyone please tell me a decent FX program to get that will run on my G4 1.2 GHZ, OSX 10.3.9 machine that will be compatible with import to FCE HD 3.0? OR how to get a new and registerable copy of motion?
    I'm pretty sure I will never buy another thing from Apple since they have zero allegiance to their existing customers.
    Ken
    G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   1.2GHZ

    Here's a recent example.
    I was making an opening screen in LIVE TYPE with a motion background and then had another 6 layers of motion objects that apperared and disappeared at different times. Some of the objects I chose played at full opacity and didn't give a smooth appearance of fading in and then fading out as another object was coming on.
    The sceen was supposed to be similar to the big bang, but with other things happening before it and then dying out.
    I discovered that there was no way to vary opacity in LIVE TYPE over the length of each layer (sort of fade in and fade out).
    I realize I could export each object layer separately from live type to FCE HD and then change opacity in the time line, but the little light bulb went on and I said , hmmm maybe it's time to buy "MOTION" or some thing like it.

  • Will the JVC GY-HD 100 work with FCE

    I was wondering if anyone has experience with the JVC GY-HD 100. Does it work will with FCE?
    I tried doing a search in this forum but nothing really came of it. I looked in Apples qualified Devises page.
    JVC GY-HD100U is the model they listed. Whats the difference in the "U"?
    I am going to rent it for the weekend for 186.00 which is cheap around here.
    I do have QP and the MPEG-2 Playback. If that makes a difference.
    Message was edited by: windylove

    After a weekend of screwing around I got it to work in dv-ntsc mode but not in hdv (which is what I wanted). As for the system profiler, I am starting to think there is something wrong with leopard because once I got it to recognize the camera, a bunch of times it just said firewire 400 and the rest of the times it said unable to read firewire.
    What I am hoping for is to record in 720p and then capture the same but so far it doesn't seem possible. I guess what I am hoping for is a definite "yes, hdv from the gy-hd100 is compatible with OS X 10.5 and FCE 4.0" so I can start blaming firewire cables etc.
    Thanks for the help

  • Which HDV Camcorders are compatible with FCE HD?

    Where can I find a list of HDV Camcorders (preferrably Sony camcorders) whose video files are compatible and be edited by Final Cut Express HD? I have a MacBook Pro with FCE HD and now I am trying to decide on which camcorder to purchase.
    Someone told me that tapeless (ie. Hard Disk Drive) camcorders are not compatible with FCE HD. Is this true?
    So which camcorders are a) whose video footage could be edited by FCE HD and b) recommended by most?
    Thanks for all your help!!

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Currently, iDVD do not support HD on HD-DVD.
    Toast does support it in his most recent version BUNDLED with HD DVD burner.
    As I know, there are only 3 company who sell HD-DVD burner.
    They are very expensive, same thing for HD-DVD blank media.
    The "war" between HD Blu-Ray and HD-DVD is not over and the industry (cinema, computers makers, consumers) dont know what technology will win the market.
    You can shoot in HDV, convert directly from your camcorder (with sony models, see specifications of your model), and capture in SD in FCE HD. (the result on the DVD is better than shooting in SD and the process is easy)
    You can capture HDV footage in ... HDV project with FCE HD set for this format (with the help of Apple intermediate Codec), edit in HDV and print to tape on your camcorder to keep and view the edited HDV content on a HD tv set.
    Once the burners will be avalaible at a reasonnable cost, you will recapture your edited movie from your saved tape, and burn the movie in High definition DVD. IMovie HD or FCE HD will do this job well.
    Your MacBook does'nt have a HD DVD burner (like any mac sold currently), so think about an external one.

  • Best extreme camera to work with FCE HD

    I'm looking for an extreme camera and digital recorder which will work well with my MacBook Pro. (FCE HD or iMove)
    I've located a company whose camera I like but I've heard the recorder they use does not seem to work well with the Mac.
    http://www.helmetcamera.com/
    The recorder needs to be strong enough to handle harsh treatment.
    If you're using a great helmet camera and recorder please let me know.

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    That depends of what are your needs...
    Both models works well with FCE HD 3.5 .
    Try some research on the web for a comparaison between those two models. Look at:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/SonyHandycam_HDR_HC3/4505-65007-31749257.html?tag=tpr
    and
    http://reviews.cnet.com/SonyHDR_FX1/4505-65007-31085889.html
    The FX1E (E stands for european model) seems to be more semi-professionnal (3 CCD chips, big lens, big form factory, more manual controls and big price) than HC1(one CMOS chip, smaller case, operation by screen menus). But the HC1 would give good results either. Pay attention that HC1 is actualy replaced by a newer model: HC3 for the same price. May be you can find a bargain price for a new HC1.
    It's a matter of finding to good balance between your needs and your wallet...
    Remember that HDV needs powerful computer with plenty of RAM and space on hard disk, but that image quality is fantastic. (a dual G5 with 4.5 Gig RAM is a such powerfull computer).
    Actually, your options for distibuting HDV natively are limited to play final movie from your camcorder. There is not DVD burner that support HDV right now. (do a search in this forum under "HDV, iDVD DVD burner"
