FCP 6 with M-audio fastrack pro and sample rates

hello, having a weird problem in FCP 6.02 under OS X 10.4.11 on a MacPro where if i record a voiceover through my m-audio fastrack at 48khz, which matches the sequence and project settings, it comes back at the wrong sample rate (plays back higher pitch), but if i record it at 44.1 it sounds right. any ideas on this?
thanks in advance
david

Perhaps the M-Audio is still recording at 44.1, and FCP is set to convert the audio to 48k, but is unable to resample as it would with an analog source. I would try to access the control panel for the M-Audio box and see if you can get it to force its sample rate to 48k outside of FCP. If so, you can probably get FCP to record correctly at 48k. If not, you might be better off just letting it record in 44.1, and maybe batch exporting later to upconvert.
Hope this helps -

  • Problems with M-Audio Fasttrack Pro and Garageband after 10.5.2

    Hi all,
    I use GarageBand daily with my M-Audio FastTrack Pro and have had absolutely no problems until I installed the 10.5.2 update.
    Suddenly the Audio randomly cuts out when I'm recording, monitoring or playing back - also my recordings appear to skip and jump too. Usually I can rectify it by power cycling the Fasttrack but the problem re-occurs after about 30 seconds of recording.
    I have double checked the I am using M-Audio's latest drivers and have repaired permissions and the disk. I was wondering if anyone else had had any problems with this?
    All help would be appreciated, looks like I'm going back to 10.5.1 though.

    Hi !
    Still no answer from M-Audio but it seems that they are not in cause.
    I read on several topics of Apple's Forums some similar problems with other audio devices and also with some USBhubs.
    I ran some little tests and for my case, using the other USB port of the MacBook seems to resolve the problem (but that's not a permanent solution for my point of view).
    Using a selft-powered USBhub works also, even on the port that makes it crash without hub.
    As I studied a little bit of electronics, it looks really like a problem of power supply through USB to me. It could be some kind of micro-cuts (or micro-undervoltage) that are sufficient to cut the audio stream and freeze a bit the system but not enough for MacOSX to switch significantly to the internal audio.
    But two questions still remain :
    Why one USB port of the MacBook and not the other one ?
    Why since 10.5.2 ?
    Steve, if you hear me ;o)
    'Hope they will react quickly !

  • Changing audio recording depth and sample rate in QuickTime Pro?

    Last week, I set up QuickTime Pro 7.4.5 to record audio in 24-bit, 48 KHz format -- only now, I can't remember how I did that. I think that I may have used some other software to change the settings of my Mac Pro's built-in sound card. Does anyone know how to do this?
    I made several such recordings, just last week, as a test, simply using a microphone plugged directly into my Mac Pro, and using QuickTime Pro as the recording application. During playback of such QuickTime audio files, I can hit <command-i> to see that the recordings are indeed 24-bit, 48 KHz. But now, when I repeat the same process, my QuickTime audio recordings are made with 16-bit resolution, at 44.1 KHz. I remember putting the settings back to those values after my recording session of last week. But I can't remember how I adjusted those settings. Does anyone know how to do that?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your response.
    I will use Apple MIDI Setup, as you suggest.
    I want to change the sample rate to 48 KHz, as the final destination is DVD and I don't want to convert from 44.1 to 48 and thus suffer a possible loss in quality.
    As for bit depth, I want to sample at 24-bit, since I'll be processing the sound afterwards and don't want audible rounding errors during the number "crunching". Afterwards, I'll just drop the eight least significant bits, or perhaps round them up or down (to zero or 256).

  • M audio fastrack pro

    I got the new macbook 13" (late 2008) My tascam US 122 does not work on it. After emailing Tascam support in UK numerous times the problem has still not being fixed. I am therefor thinking of buying a new audio/midi interface. I was thinking of buying a M-audio fastrack pro interface. Has anybody out there got the same product and is it working fine on the new Mac books?

    I do... works great. After you purchase the FTP you'll just have to update the unit that you can get at m-audio site.
    Good luck.

  • (Trouble printing) Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510.

    Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510. (Nothing Prints).
    I have a Macbook Pro and am having difficulty printing documents from ‘Pages' from my Hp Deskjet 1510. I have installed the necessary software for the printer and it is connected via USB. Every time I try to print the printer icon comes up as it should, 'printing' and then 'job completed' and then the icon disappears. (Nothing is printed.) I thought it might be something to do with Pages compatibility with the printer but exporting the document to Word or making it a PDF doesn’t change anything. I don’t have Microsoft Word on my computer. The scanner does work and when I printed a ‘Test Page’ that worked too.
    Let me know if you know why this is happening.

    With these settings the network now works flawlessly, however, when i have my ethernet cable plugged in, my internet access via my airport card(on the macbook pro) is no longer available. Hoping you can tell me why this would be with this info i've provided.
    Educated guess. The networking devices have priorities as to which are used. The standard order is that Ethernet has a higher priority than Airport.
    While your Ethernet is unplugged it is inactive and the Mac ignores it. Once you plug it in, the Mac sees that it is active and switches traffic to that interface.
    I actually take advantage of this feature at home, but configuring my Airport and Ethernet with identical fixed IP addresses. Normally I'll use Airport, but if I'm copying a huge file and I want faster performance, I'll just walk my MacBook (previously iBook, previously Powerbook) over to my Ethernet switch and plug in my MacBook. Magically, the Mac detects that the Ethernet is active and continues the file transfer uninterrupted over the faster 100baseT Ethernet connection. When the transfer is finished, or if I really need to move back to the Comfy Chair, I unplug the Ethernet cable, and all activity reverts back to the Airport, all without disrupting any existing networking connections.
    You on the other hand have totally different settings for your Ethernet and your Airport, so when you switch to Ethernet, you basically loose your Airport connections.
    Something you can try:
    System Preferences -> Network
    Gear icon on the bottom left, next to the [+] [-] icons.
    Select *Set Service Order...*
    Now Drag the network interfaces into the perfer priority order you want. In this case put Airport above Ethernet.
    NOTE: You may want to create a new Network Location for this, instead of messing with your normal home Location (which is most likely the default Automatic. That way you have your original you can always fall back to.

  • Having trouble with wav files and sample rates

    Hi ,I am having trouble with wav files and sample rates .I have been sent multiple projects on wav as the main instrumental ; I wish to record in 48.000kHz .Now comes the problem.When I try to change the project to 48k It seems to pitch up the track.I can't have them send the logic/project file as most have outboard synths,different plug ins etc.This particular case the producer has recorded the synth task in 41.000 kHz .My successful outcome would be to be able t create a project file in 48 kHz .And NOT pitch up whne I add the instrumenta wav file .Any help would be gratefully recieved,this is my first post so any mistakes I may have made go easy 

    You'll have to convert the actual synth audio file file that the producer gave you to 48kHz. You can do this in the audio Bin in Logic.

  • Can we do poduct costing with out using cost sheet  and overhead rates

    Hi,
    can we do product costing with out using cost sheets and overhead rates.
    In that cast , how the cost estimation happens ?

    Hi,
    a costing sheet is used to calculate (on a base) overhead values. If you dont need / want to use this functionality just create/use a costing variant where not costing sheet is assigned.
    Use this costing variant in CK11N or KKPAN, depending if ou have a quantity structure or not.

  • "current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are invalid" message

    I have some files I am working with. Details and what happened:
    Had some music files where I was doing some trimming/splitting. Files worked fine in itunes.
    Open the files in Quicktime Pro 7 to trim them. Exported to aif.
    Opened the files with itunes. They open and play just fine.
    In Itunes I click"create AAC version" to convert them.
    I receive the message "An error occurred while trying to import the file. The current encoder settings for bit rate and sample rate are not valid for this file."
    I don't know what to do from here. Suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Make sure that the AIFFs that you export are set for 16 bit PCM.
    Also, assuming that you are using 44.1 kHZ sampling in your AIFFs, make sure that you are not trying to use 48 kHz in the AAC.

  • The selected combination of bit rate and sample rate is not allowed.

    I've always burned my purchased CDs into iTunes using a AAC 320 kbps and 48.000kHz. Now when I select that option in iTunes 9 I'm getting a "The selected combination of bit rate and sample rate is not allowed." pop up screen. So is it impossible to burn my albums in a 320kbps/48.000 AAC format?. I had no problems in previous versions of iTunes using this setting. I guess I might have to switch over using a MP3 import setting instead.

    Audio CDs are encoded with a sample rate of 44.1 kHz. Ripping them at 48 kHz requires resampling and does not improve the quality. Unless you have a special need for 48, use 44.1.

  • EMU 0404 USB - DS driver and sample rate autoswitchng

    It looks like autoswitching works well until output is going through the ASIO driver. With output switched to DS the "sample rate" option in control panel becomes grey and do not change its value to reflect source sample rate.
    Assume nothing is playing via e-mu then I can switch Fs manually in audio control panel to say 96 kHz. Then I start playing some 44.1 wav via foobar + DS out. "sample rate" in audio control panel doesn't reflect 44.1 and remains greyed with Fs = 96.
    Is it feature or bug?
    What is going out from SPDIF in such case: bit perfect 44.1 or 96 with SRC?

    Hmm... there are plenty of possible reasons for this ...here are couple of them (not mentioned in your list of suggestions given by Creative support)
    - multicore support could be one culprit (I don't know if the FL has this option but if you use (IIRC) Cubase 3-> )
    - on Cubase, another possible culprit is an option named as Lower latency ... disable this feature
    - some background process starts after some period (E-MU USB is quite sensitive for these) ... run the DPC Latency Checker utility (just google the name to get it downloaded)
    Does Coscos Reaper (google the name) give same issue?
