Enable track for record

Just bought a new cheapie USB mic at work to do temp VO narrations. Running latest version of CC 14 and Mavericks. The OS recognizes the mic, as does Audition, but in Premiere, I'm unable to select the "R" button to arm a track to record. Any ideas?

Premiere is set to default input and output, which is what I have this mic set as. I do not see the microphone listed though.

Why can't I enable an audio track for recording? (It won't let me)

I want to record VO but PP won't let me...
On Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite in System Preferences:
• Sound Input is set to C-Media USB Headphone Set (an Alesis usb mic...works fine for VO in Final Cut Pro 7)
• Output is set to Headphone port
In Premiere Pro CC Audio Hardware Preferences:
• ASIO Hardware is set to "System Default Input/Output"
• I have also tried "C-Media USB Headphone Set but this, too, doesn't work
• With "System Default I/O" selected, Output Mapping is set to "Adobe Desktop Audio" (only choice), and shows:
     • "Built-in Output: Headphones 1
     • "Built-in Output: Headphones 2
     • "C-Media USB Headphone Set: Front Left
     • "C-Media USB Headphone Set: Front Right
all four of these have a couple of square icons to the right.
In order to record VO, I first need to "enable track for recording" in the Audio Track Mixer. There are no in or out points set in my timeline and the tracks are not locked or solo'd or anything. So why can't I select the audio track I want to use to record VO? I click it but there is no response. I just want to know why this software is not doing what it's designed to do.

is I learn still around -? That was VERY HANDY!

Player Error: "You cannot record without enabling at least one track for recording"

So I'm trying to adjust my audio using the track mixer in premiere pro cc. I assigned 2 clips to a submix. When I tried to record, I got the following error: "You cannot record without enabling at least one track for recording." I disabled other tracks, then re enabled them all, muted them all, but still got the same error when I tried to record.

This is how I have just made a recording:
Select track to record (1), Select record (2) then press play to record.
Use the in-out markers in the program monitor to select the area to record.

Can't Arm Track for Recording

I can't Arm any track for recording. I've closed the program, rebooted, etc. with no luck. When I first open Audition, with no session loaded, I can Arm a track. But when I load my session I can't Arm any track. I've checked Audio Hardware Setup and all seems OK. Anyone know what might be happening? Thanks.

I found the problem. Each track had the 'Input' button (right below the volume and pan buttons) set to none. How this happened I'm not sure. Probably when I opened another program that took over ASIO and changed AA3.
I found the answer at http://forums.digitalmedianet.com/cgi-bin/readwholethread.fcgi?forum=adobe_audition&post= 060922041404.htm&toppostid=425
They were discussing another problem but was able to get my answer from the topic they were discussing.

How to enable Audio Track for recording podcast

I'm trying to use Garageband to create podcast in iLife '06. When I select female voice and the red record button, I get this message "No Audio Track is enabled for recording". Adding new track from the Tracks menu does not help. Can anyone help please?

Um, er, that's a Windows app. The best way to record Skype on a Mac is Ecamm's Call Recorder. Just install and you get a record button in Skype!

I can only hear my record enabled track when recording,not when just playing

This has to be a simple one - normally I can hear my record enabled track when playing back or recording but suddenly i can only hear it when I am actually recording. I must have accidentally selected an option i am unaware of - can someone please help!
Thanks

In case anyone is also stuck I went to Options->Audio where there is an Auto Input Monitoring option. I turned it off and it fixed my issue.

Engaging audio tracks for recording

I'm using multiple instruments to record drums, but whenever I engage multiple audio tracks it doesn't work, example. I'll engage tracks 1 and 2, and then when I go to engage audio track 3 audio track 1 disengages without me doing anything. This will happen in pairs of two, allowing me to only be able to record to audio tracks at a time. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
G5 2GHZ Mac OS X (10.2.x) 2.5 GB Ram

following jords reply that happens because that's your currently selected inputs,
if your audio interface allows you to have more than 2 inputs if you select 3 and 4,5-6 etc
on the following audio tracks channel strips you will be able to record on more than 2 mono channels and so on.

How do I enable a track to record in Premiere Pro CS4?

I'm on a macbook. I have a SM57 mic plugged in via an XLR to USB cable. I have tested this mic via garage band, and it works and records fine.
In Premiere Pro preferences I have chosen C-media USB Audio Device.
In mac's Audio MIDI setup, I have chosen C-media USB Audio Device as Default Input.
In Premiere Pro, I have clicked on Audio 1 to highlight that's the track I want to record to.
Yet when I click on the Mic picture in the Audio Mixer to enable track for recording, it does nothing, no drop down box, no indication that I clicked it (other than highlighting itself in yellow for a brief moment).
Then I click the record button, it starts flashing, waiting for me to click play.
Then I click play and a message comes up "You cannont record without enabling at least one track for recording"
Where am I going wrong?
Any help is much appreciated.

ASIO4All - that's for Windows only, right? I'm on a mac.
I've been looking into using Soundbooth, which does recognise my USB connection.
Any tips for workflow between Premiere Pro and Soundbooth?
At the moment it looks like I'll have to edit my video footage first (it has no audio track),
then having watched the rough cut, record my voiceover in Soundbooth, adjust levels etc.
then import those voiceover files into Premiere Pro and edit them in timeline to match my video.
Not exactly ideal.
Is there any way of watching the rough cut while recording the voiceover?
Or am I better off recording the voiceover in Premiere Pro with my rubbish Line in connection, then taking it into Soundbooth to boost/clean up?
Thanks

Switching Tracks;Disable Record Mode

Is there a way to disable the automatic recording mode that happens when you switch tracks.When i'm cleaning up tracks and going between them with my monitors on,the red recording mode button turns on and feedback occurs when the built-in mics kick on.Thank you.

That's something for the "things I'd like to see changed" list.
It never made sense to me since it seems to me that you choose a Track for recording only once or a few times, whereas you choose it for mixing, etc. many, many times and then always have to disarm it so there are no accidents.

No Audio Track is enabled for recording message

I'm a beginner in Mac and would appreciate some help in sorting out a problem with Garageband podcasting on iLife '06.
When I choose female voice and press the red RECORD button, I get this message: "No Audio Track is enabled for recording". I have done some tests in the past which were ok. Have I accidently changed the settings? I checked input and output devices (usb external mic and speaker headset is recognised and that voice and not instrument selection is made.
Can anyone help me please. Thank you.

To enable a track choose the track and click on the
small button icon on the right just under the track
name. The button will be red when enabled.
I'm looking for such a button and don't see one. AFAICT the track name is "Male Basic." Near the track name I see three buttons: mute/unmute, solo, and show/hide volume curve. But that's it. To the right of that are the mixer controls, and no other obvious buttons that I can see. What does or should the button look like? And are we both referring to the same version of GB? I'm wondering if a later version of GB has the button, but version 1 doesn't?
BTW I have looked through the docs (the At-A-Glance and the 3 tutorial PDFs) that came with the installation, and using Preview's Search function, can find no instance of the string "enabl" in any of the documents. Nor is it anywhere in Help.
Thanks again...

Is it possible to lock an audio track in "record enabled" mode?

Here's how i write... i set up a drum loop to play for around 20 minutes, then I rec-enable one audio track to record vocals, and then finally, I skip around among hundreds of different midi tracks.
I just hit the down arrow button, and scroll through dozens and dozens of midi tracks. I quickly hit the keyboard to listen to the sounds. If i like a particular sound, i just want to hit record, and instantly record my vocals along with the midi performance.
Unfortunately, when i hit record, the vocal/audio track doesn't record. Right at the moment when i find an inspiring sound and hit record, the vocals just don't record.
I'm forced to scroll miles up the arrange window, to find
the vocal audio track. It's still blinking the red "rec" button, but this is misleading. It's not actually record enabled. I have to hold down shift, hit it once to turn it off, then hit it again to re-activate record function.
Only then can i record the midi AND vocals.
What I want and need is sooooooo simple to offer as a function, yet totally ruinous to my creative flow if it's not possible. (I used to do this easily on the far inferior
Cubase VST 5.1, OS 9)
Is there a way to record enable an audio track, so that,
until I specifically disable the record function, it's
ALWAYS ready to record the second I hit the record button?
Even after I've been hitting the down arrow to audition
various midi channels?

I tried to build screensets like you suggested. If I could
get this to work, I think it would be a great solution, but
I'm having serious problems.
I opened a separate mixer, with just the single vocal/audio
track showing.
Then I opened the main mixer, which has all the faders.
If I record-enable a midi track, and then hit the record-enable button on the audio track, the midi track becomes un-enabled. Incredibly frustrating.
The only way I've been able to do it has been to record-enable the vocal track, and then start recording.
Only if Logic is actually recording, can i then record-enable the midi track without deactivating the audio
track.
A big problem is, that when i click to record enable the
vocal track, the arrange window jumps all the way up to the
top, where the audio track is. THen i'm forced to travel
down, to re-find the midi track.
You mentioned in your post that the mixer needs to be
"unlinked". HOw is this done? Will it be possible for
me to click on the record-enable button on the mixer's audio track without the arrange window jumping to that track?

I am getting an Narration error that I can't record because one of the record-enabled tracks is locked in the timeline. What does this mean and how do I get out of it??

Thanks for the update.
There are several Adobe Premiere Elements Forum threads about situation such as the one that you have encountered. Typically they are the results of some heavy activity in the narration track. Some have found success in maneuvers between the Expert and Quick workspaces in versions 11 and 12 or Timeline and Sceneline workspaces in versions earlier than 11. That is why I mentioned that type of factor in a prior post in your thread.
If that is not working, then we are forced into the new project where the problems in the current project are not presenting.
I will do a search for the threads that I am recalling about your type of issue. But, right now all roads seem to head to the new project. But I would ask "Can you salvage this project by creating your narration clips in Audacity or a new Premiere Elements project and import them into this project, putting the clips on one of the numbered audio tracks?"
If the problem should reappear in the new project, please let us know including the details of what was going on immediate before the problem surfaced.
Thanks.

Help-ColdFusion - enabling a user to search for records in a database by entering a startand end date - (CREATEODBCDATE)

I want to enable a user to enter a start and end date to
define the period they want to search for records of members who
joined on certain dates. Funny thing is...I've got it to work half
of the time. For e.g. I have 4 records between 26/10/2005 and
1/08/2006. When I enter 01/01/2005 as startDate and 31/08/2006 as
endDate, I get the 4 records. However, if I alter the endDate to
01/09/2006 I get every record in the database!!!??? Why's this? I
can't get my head around it!
Here's my code:
First the code for the form the user input the search
criteria on:
<html>
<body>
<FORM action="memberJDateSearch.cfm" method="post">
<p>Start Date: <input type="text"
name="startDate">
<br>End Date: <input type="text" name="endDate">
<input type="reset" value="Clear">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</FORM>
</body>
</html>
Simple enough. Now the code for the process and display page:
<html>
<body>
<cfquery name="memberJDateSearch"
datasource="jpkelle2-access">
SELECT *
From members
WHERE ((joinDate BETWEEN #CreateODBCDate(startDate)# AND
#CreateODBCDate(endDate)#))
</cfquery>
<table border=1 bgcolor="beige" cellpadding="3"
cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<th>Member ID</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Sex</th>
<th>Date of Birth</th>
<th>Address</th>
<th>Email</th>
<th>Date Joined</th>
</tr>
<CFOUTPUT Query="memberJDateSearch">
<tr>
<td><center>#memberID#<center></td>
<td width="15%">#forename# #initial#
#surname#</td>
<td>#sex#</td>
<td width="10%">#disp('#dob#')#</td>
<td>#address#, #town#, #county#, #postCode#</td>
<td>#email#</td>
<td width="10%">#disp('#joinDate#')#</td>
</tr>
</CFOUTPUT>
</table>
<hr><p>End of members list.</p>
</body>
</html>
any ideas? please help me.

Try formatting your dates first (before the CreateODBCDate
call). I just tried this on my test page and it worked properly. I
removed the DateFormat calls, keeping the dates in your format and
it didn't work. See if something like the following will help:
<cfset startDate =
DateFormat("31/01/2006","dd/mm/yyyy")/>
<cfset endDate =
DateFormat("01/09/2007","dd/mm/yyyy")/>
<cfquery name="memberJDateSearch"
datasource="jpkelle2-access">
SELECT *
From members
WHERE ((joinDate BETWEEN #CreateODBCDate(startDate)# AND
#CreateODBCDate(endDate)#))
</cfquery>

Audio interface for recording 2 tracks at once

What are my Audio Interface options for recording two tracks at once on my Macbook? What have you had success with?
Thanks

I'm sure you will get numerous recommendations - what you want really is an Apogee Duet... it's the best thing you'll find for the price and it sounds great...
I use an Edirol FA-66 with a MacBook with no problems at all, except it sounds a bit "thin"...
Over to the rest of you...

Midi and Audio tracks simultaneously armed for recording

All, whilst engaged in laying down the bass track for the guitar solo section of my latest monster his, I encountered one of those sorts of frustrations that makes one long for some means of swift egress from this mortal coil, this vale of tears: that is, while laying down my totally awesome bass track that when they hear it will send JP Jones and Boosty Collins to employee as actuaries, I kept getting the hateful "unable to synchronize the audio and midi error." I'll spare you the catalog of the various lame attempts I understood to remedy this problem, as well as the curses directed toward my fate, and Daw ineptitude in general. Then I nnoticed that both the software instrument tracks (Addictive drums) and the audio track (aforementioned bass) were both armed for recording, signified by the red R in the track header! Well, upon de-arming the software instrument track I was able to record by bass line in a mimimum of takes, and as visions of illegal intozicants and comen of questionable morals dance through my noggin as recompsense for my trouble, with to make the point to all relative newbies such as myself that the answer to problems that seem on surface intractable as usually staring you right in the glazed eyeball.

What?...
I'm sorry maybe I don't understand everything you are sayng... but I can replay to the titles of the Topic!
Actually recording a MIDI instrument and an Audio Track symultaneously comes with serious bug!!!
you cannot use Punch-in on Fly when an Audio and instrument track is armed at the same time...
or better you can but the MIDI and audio output will be dropped for a moment
Provide a Logic feedback
http://www.apple.com/feedback/logicpro.html!
THIS IS A LOGIC 8 BUG!!! BIGGEST SERIOUS BUG!
I suggest you to use Logic 7 when you need that!
Thank you so much for remember me this..
I'm sorry no alternative solution... or.. if you have 2 Macs you can use one for Logic MIDI and another one for Logic Audio!
