Edit to tape audio promlem - sounds like "chorus" effect

I have tried to Edit to Tape an HDV Sequence, down converted to SD, to a Digibeta deck.
When I monitor (headphone out of digibeta deck) while recording it sounds normal. When I rewind and check tape it sounds like the audio is "doubled up", almost like a very short chorus effect is on the audio. as well as this I can hear what sounds like tape crackle now and again.
However - when I do a straight crash record from the timeline - the audio plays back fine, no crackle.
So thinking it was an edit to tape settings problem i clicked on the audio button in the edit to tape window and notice audio was set to ALL ON. I changed this to A1 and A2 on, thinking that my extra audio tracks (which I had disabled, these where the original audio, not the OMF exported stereo mix) were somehow going down the SDI anyway...
No luck - did the edit to tape again and still sounded the same.
My heart rate has returned to normal now as the network kindly will accept the crash record with non standard timecode - but I of course still want to find out the problem so this doesn't happen again next week....
The Sequence was HDV 1080i, via a Decklink HD Extreme Capture Card, set to down convert to anamorphic 16:9. Sony Digibeta DVW-A500P deck.
Anyone know what the problem could be?
thanks
Hugh

for the benefit of anyone who searches for forum for a similar problem - it appears to have been a sync issue. changing "out ref" to "input video" appears to have fixed it.

  • Audio export sounds like its in a tin cup

    I have exported my project multiple times with different settings but each results in sounding like its in a tin cup, or sounds like its from  a cheap cell phone.  I imported the audio into audition and exported it to my desktop and it sounded fine but if I use premire it ruins the audio.  It just started doing this in the past few days and I haven't changed anything that I am aware of. Please any help would be great as this is for my employment!

    The audio like you mentioned "sounds like it's from a cheap cell phone" only happens when you cut out the top end and low end frequencies, which clearly looks like a work of an EQ (or any other similar) plugin. Are you sure you heard the exported audio on your desktop and it sounded normal? If yes, then make sure the audio track in premiere doesn't have any effects on it. Also make sure your audio jack's inserted properly. Also listen to something else and see how that sounds just to make sure your speakers/headphones didn't snap.

  • Need STP Audio to sound like LP

    Anyone know of a plugin or effect that will allow me to take a audio clip and dirty it up to sound like an old LP record player with the pops and hisses? I've searched and couldn't find anything but I may not be using the right search criteria.
    Thanks in advance.

  • No audio or sound in After Effects CC

    I have imported footage that works fine in Prelude but not at all well in AE. There is always a problem with the imported footage. But mainly there is never any audio or sound. I have read a few other post and tried the recommended solutions to no avail.

    We need to know a lot more if we're going to help you. Please provide answers to the questions listed here: "FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?"

  • Audio file sounds like Donald Duck on helium

    I made a jingle in GarageBand. Then I dictated an audio file on my iPod with iTalk which hot-synced into iTunes. I then dragged the dictated audio file from iTunes to GB to try to mix the jingle and the audio together, but after my audio file is imported, it runs way too fast. I looked here for an answer: http://thehangtime.com/gb/gbfaq2.html#toofast - but it didn't work.
    What do I do? GB 2.0.1 iTunes 4.9 iPod 4th gen.
    TIA

    Try this:
    1. Download Sound Studio at this link: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/audio/soundstudio.html
    2. Once you've installed it, open the program, and under the FILE menu select IMPORT WITH QUICKTIME to load your vocal audio file.
    3. Once it has loaded properly, pull down the FILE menu and select SAVE AS
    4. Rename the file, and under the FORMAT pull-down menu, select WINDOWS WAVE
    5. Take the file from your desktop and drag it into Garageband. This should eliminate the "sped-up" effect and it should play at normal speed and pitch.
    Let me know if that works.

  • How can I fix voip audio that sounds like Mr. Roboto?

    I've used several versions of Breeze/Connect with many, many presenters and configurations.  I've never heard someone sound robotic.  The person is wired to a LAN using a new Mac. Both the headset mic and the built-in mic sounded odd. I'm not sure where to start troubleshooting.  Any suggestions?
    Karen :-)

    Well being hardwired does not compleatly remove network latency. Someone could have been transmitting a ton of data at the same time he was trying to talk.  There really is not much you can do about this especially if it is not your network.
    FYI: If you want to see how good someone's connection is, click the little green vertical line in the upper right corner of the screen. It shows your connection status.  If you have the end user click that have them tell you the Latency number.  If it is <100 msec they should start to buffer. Again, there is not much you can do about it, but at least you can tell them the reason why it is happening.

  • Cut audio from a video file and edit in an audio editor?

    Using Pre 9 and a Nikon D7000 video file: Is it possible to cut the audio portion of a movie clip (where the audio was recorded in the camera and is part of the import), edit in an audio editor (I like Sony Sound Forge Studio), then paste it back into the clip?

    I use Steve's method all of the time, and edit the Audio output in Adobe Audition. You will want to Export/Share to PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit, and keep that format both going and coming back into PrE. Remember that you will be working with an Audio file, that is the full (or almost) Duration of the Timeline. When you Import that edited Audio file, give the program a few moments to Conform that newly Imported PCM/WAV for editing. I suggest not touching the computer, until Conforming has completed 100%, and the little progress bar in the lower-right of the GUI has disappeared. If the Imported Audio file is short, and your computer is fast, you might not even see that progress bar, but the Conforming has taken place, just the same.
    I like to keep the original Audio on its Audio Track(s), and just use Window>Audio Mixer to Mute that/those Track(s), leaving only my edited Audio on its own Track un-Muted. This is a "fail-safe," just in case I change my mind along the way, and wish to revert to the original Audio for some reason. It is much easier to Mute-Unmute, than to gather up all of that original Audio again.
    Good luck, and happy editing,
    Hunt

  • Edit to tape no Audio

    I am trying to edit to tape a DVCProHD project to a Panasonic AJ-HD150 deck. I am getting no audio. When I play the timeline, the audio shows up on the deck. If I print to tape, the audio shows up. I have four channels of audio enabled. I have been trying different device controls and now the deck stops after 1:00:05:12. I need sleep.

    sounds like you are not getting audio when you do an "Insert" edit ... bet if you do an "Assemble" edit from the Edit To Tape (ETT) window it will work (like Print To Video)
    i think you probably need to check you have enabled/selected the correct audio channels in the ETT window ... bottom right of the ETT window you will see the destination track controls for insert editing. the audio insert popup is the long rounded button with the speaker icon at left and two rows of four tracklights at right. the color of these tracklights, either grey or yellow, indicates its state, either off or on.
    (go to your Help menu and choose Final Cut Pro User Manual and go to page 191 & 192 for more details)

  • Audio on video export sounds like machine gun

    I have an issue with a sequence. When exported there is no audio, just a sound that sounds like like a computer machine gun, a repetitive rat a tat tat. Tried different computers and codecs with same result. Audio is fine while editing and haven't ran into this one before.
    AVCHD Shot with a sony handycam AVCHD 60i 29.9 sequence setting.
    Audio was also captured externally with a zoom at 44khz 16bit
    Also includes surround sound from Sony.
    Have exported with H264 Youtube HD preset, then HD 1080p preset as well at Quicktime uncompressed.
    Running CS 5.5 just updated
    Mac OSX 6
    I've turned off all the sound exported as well as removed all of the audio effects, and still got the noise, tried to export just audio as well.
    This is a repost, Thanks for your help,

  • Does this happen to you??? sounds like a tape rewinding.... PLEASE HELP?

    Periodically while I'm on the phone I hear what sounds like a "tape rewinding." Both parties are able to hear it when it happens. I have NO idea where this is stemming from... could it be a hardware issue?
    It's making me crazy!!!!

    yeah definitely happening to me with default reg_exp.
    i could see it being on purpose; you don't want your reply to "Subject" to be "Re:Subject"; you'd want "Re: Subject".  but i want that to stop after the first email; if i'm sending emails back and forth an extra space is inserted with each correspondence.  bizarre.
    if anyone's interested:
    ~/.muttrc
    ~/.vimrc
    ~/.vim/mail
    [FYI: i've been having issues with my ftp server; it works for me but if you encounter errors please message me.  i can email what you were looking for and you can help me debug ]

  • When I record an audio track, there is a waveform. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing?

    When I record an audio track using Logic Pro X, there is a visible waveform which appears as I record. When I stop recording, the waveform disappears and becomes a straight line. It also disappears from the track edit window. But the sound is still there. How can I stop the waveform from disappearing? And can I do something to view it after it has disappeared? Anyone know the anser?

    In Logic:
    Preferences/Audio Set Recording Delay to 0 <zero>
    This should always be set to zero unless a specific set of circumstances exist and you're audio drivers do not report position correctly.
    On occasion, usually when importing a Logic 9 project, Logic-X randomly changes this to a negative/positive number.  It's actually a bug in Logic, as it should always display the waveform.
