FCP Kona 3 Audio Capture Problem

Hello,
We're trying to capture 4 channels of audio only through the embedded HD input, using a Kona 3 card on our G5 2.66 Intel Mac with FCP 6.01 from a Panasonic 1400 HD VTR. All 16 channels are coming in even when we highlight or deselect the audio tracks under clip settings in FCP. Do you have any other ideas on how to capture only four channels of audio?
Thanks in Advance!

Audio Capture problem in Mac OS X 10.7.5 in Mac mini(in Silverlight)

I got a mac mini and upgrade Mac OS X 10.6.x --> 10.7.5.
However do not hearing the audio in Webpage using Silverlight.(10.6. version doing well)
So, I found the solve this problem, that is a audio capture problem.( My device does not supported Stereo audio data).
this is the source in audio capture using Silverlight code.
CaptureSource source = new CaptureSource()
                        AudioCaptureDevice = CaptureDeviceConfiguration.GetDefaultAudioCaptureDevice()
                    try
                        foreach (AudioFormat af in source.AudioCaptureDevice.SupportedFormats)
                            if (af.Channels == 1 && af.BitsPerSample == 16 && af.SamplesPerSecond == 8000)
                                source.AudioCaptureDevice.DesiredFormat = af;
                                break;
af.Channels is always af.Channel == 2(Stereo)
--- the question is
How can I caputure audio channel mono?
If couldn`t, how can I transfered audio capture data stereo to mono?
Please answer the question as soon as possible ^^

Audio capture problems

I'll see if I can summarise this clearly and accurately.
Client has material recorded onto DV tape. The audio was captured directly onto tape via an external mike connected to the camera.
When played back on a tape deck or through my own camera, the audio is almost inaudible. However, when played back through the client's camera and heard through headphones, the audio is clear and distinct.
When capturing the material from my DSR11, the FCP Audio Meters show levels to be normal (peaking at around -6dB), even though the audio is still virtually inaudible. After capture, however, the Audio Meters show the levels to be very low (around -40dB).
This remains the case when the audio is captured directly from the client's camera (the sound can be heard normally through headphones connected to the camera - the camera's audio output level is set at the mid-point, it is not turned up - and shows at normal levels on FCP's Audio Meters, but the sound becomes very quiet and the levels on the Audio Meters drop back down after capture).
The material has been captured on different tape stocks, and only about half of the tapes in the client's batch have problems - the rest are audible as normal.
My tape deck and camera have been tested with other tapes and are working normally. FCP is configured to capture stereo through both channels.
In short, everything is set up normally and in working order, but the problem persists.
Has anyone any idea (a) what is wrong and (b) what to do about it? Please answer the second question first!
Many thanks.

Maybe the mic records to mono.
Do you see two audio tracks in the Viewer and Timeline?

Audio Capture problem

When Capturing from a DV device on to final cut express HD, only audio is "caught". When I checked the scratch bin the audio selection was disabled (like, the check-bow was dimmed and unable to be changed). I'd like to be able to capture audio without using the voiceover feature and having to completely match audio with video. Ya dig?
Thank you (for at least reading this)!

then why is FCE capturing video but not audio. all the settings are correct, the only thing i fan find wrong is the "audio capture" check box in sratch disk settings under system settings is nulled to where you can't do anything to it. So, unless it's normally like that, I'd say it has something to do with the way it captures audio.
so, please tell me that has nothing to do with it so I can find another reason why it won't capture audio.

FCP 7 No Audio Captured

Here is my Set up. I have a MacPro 10.6.1 Snow Leopard. Final Cut Pro all in put devices are connected through a AJA Kona LHi capture card and through the AJA KLHi box. When capturing, all the video is captured perfectly, but absolutely no audio is being captured. Nothing at all. No waveforms on the captured clips ... nothing. I can hear the audio fine during capture from the device, but it is not actually capturing the audio. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

How is audio connected to your breakout box? Are you able to see audio the audio meters move in the FCP Capture window?

Ti4800 & audio capture problems

Hi,
I've got the Ti4800 card and though the sound is perfect when I'm recording off tv, vcr etc when I -play back the captured clip it's all noisy. The audio is there but there's a loud static noise playing over it.
I'm using the winproducer software that came with the card..
Anyone else have this problem too? What am I doing wrong?

What are the IRQ settings?
Any other magnetic devices near your com while recording/ playback?
How do you link them up?
All the Best... :D!!!

Audio capture problem - I am baffled!

I am having a strange experience trying to capture footage from a particular tape. Perhaps someone out there can help me solve this mystery.
I have a particular DVCAM tape that I am trying to capture.
If I capture it to Premiere CS4 using a Sony DSR-11, the audio of the footage is 48K mono.
If I capture any other tape with the DSR-11, the audio of the footage is 48K stereo.
If I capture this tape using a Sony DSR-200, the captured audio is also 48K mono
When I am monitoring the audio of this tape through Premiere, I can hear that it is mono
When I monitor the analog outputs of the DSR-11, I can hear that the audio is stereo.
If I run a firewire cable from the DSR-11 to a DVD recorder, and monitor that, I can hear that the audio is stereo.
I have tried creating a new project, but the same things happen.
What might possibly be going on?! Why can't I capture the audio from this *one* tape in stereo? I am completely baffled.
J. D.

Hmm. Interesting about the DSR200. I no longer shoot with the DSR200, but I'm re-editing an older tape from the time when I did shoot with the DSR200. As such, this will not likely be an issue in the future. At least the mystery is solved, for which I am grateful. As a test, I tried capturing from footage from a different tape shot with the DSR200, and I experienced the same problem.
As far as the difference between type 1 and type 2 .avi files, I wasn't aware of this. For this project, I'll output the audio of the type 1 .avi file as a .wav file, and sync it to the type 2 .avi file with the mono audio.
Thank you everyone for your help!

NEED HELP WITH AUDIO CAPTURE PROBLEM

I've been filming for the past 2 weeks on a MiniDV camcorder. Heres the problem, I didn't check the audio bit rate before I started filming. Instead of the normal 16 bit, I used 12 bit. Now when I try to Capture the footage, the audio is out of sync and final cut says something along the lines of "The sample bit rate is different than the source. Change the settings to match the source."
I tried to go into the settings menu and change the bit rate to 12 bit, however I was not successful. Can someone please help me with this situation? Thanks for looking. Hope we can figure out a solution.
-D.

Thanks for replying Les. I tinkered with some stuff and it is still not working. I thought I was able to change the "Capture Preset" to 32kHz, instead I was only able to change the "Sequence Preset". The Capture Preset is still set at 48kHz and I have no idea how to change it. Hope you might know what to do. Thanks again for the help.

I did download and install it. No Joy. I went back and tried ot uninstall and reinstall the drivers. I am now getting an error when I run the install program. It appears there is some kind of problem with Installshield installer. I am getting a "1608 error cannot create an installatin instance". Installsheild has several suggested solutions. none of them seem to be working. What the heck is going on. To quote an unnamed presidential "EEEIIIIAAAAAACH"

RAM streamed audio - capturing problem

I have come from the PC camp where I can fire up Realplayer and sound recorder and record the audio stream (for later listening).
Now on the MAC I find I am unable to achieve this. I tried AudioHijack and it required SoundFlower. This seemed to work but screwed up other audio settings which I didn't want screwed up. I ended up uninstalling Soundflower.
Does anyone know how I can achieve this? I tried Audacity but it seems to only support 'line in'. I tried various other internet-radio apps but they didn't seem very happy about connecting to the sources I want (BBC) let alone allowing me to save/record the stream. I tried VLC but it didn't want to play all the stream and I couldn't see a way of saving it anyway.
I'm running Leopard and all I get in the Audio configuration under INPUT is 'Internal Microphone' and 'Line in'.
Is there no application out there that could perform this simple task?

You should uninstall Soundflower then. I don't think you need it. According to the Soundflower description:
*What It Is*
Soundflower is used to allow all system audio to be hijacked. With Soundflower installed, all System Audio can be hijacked at once and used, instead of grabbing audio from just one application at a time.
You said you are trying to record from the BBC. That means you are trying to record one application's output, not from everything that's running. Therefore, it sounds like you don't need to have Soundflower installed at all.
All you need is the default Audio Hijack behavior, which is to record a single application's audio stream.
I've been using Audio Hijack for years, and to avoid conflicts, I still have not installed the Extras (Instant Hijack, Soundflower, and Schedule Helper). So choose Audio Hijack Pro > Install Extras, click the Soundflower tab, and click Uninstall and see if you can then do what you want to do without trouble.

FCP 5 Audio Capture Bug and Aurora Video Systems

I think Apple know about this one. Aurora says that FCP 5.0x has a bug that makes setting audio capture levels imposible when using the Igniter.
Will Apple fix this?

Edited by an Apple Discussions Host

Are you sure all your settings are correct? Choose HDV 1080i50 Easy Setup >and make sure all your settings are correct on the camera.
VCR HDV/DV > HDV
iLINK CONV > OFF
TV TYPE > 16:9
A/V DV OUT > OFF
Yes, the settings are correct. - But I'm not shure, if you use the same releases than me.
I use: FCP 5.0.3, Mac OS X 10.4.3, QT 7.0.3 - maybe my problems depend on this.
And to clarify this a little bit more:
FCP logs the capture files on my harddisk, but I do not see them in my appropriate project. I have to import and rename them manually (from "Untitled" to the project name), after capturing...
First I thought that there was a camera recognition problem, because it seemed to me that nothing happened while capturing. Then I found that the captured files are on my hard disk, but named "Untitled".
In the past this worked fine (with an older cam, but I don't think it's a cam problem)!!!

Capture Problem with FCP 5.1

I just loaded 2 new titanium macbookpros with 5.1. When testing the basics of the programs I found that one worked fine and the 2nd kept quitting FCP when I batch captured some test clips. I tried throwing out the preferences and when that didn't help I tossed the entire program and all related files and reinstalled the suite. Still having the same problem of quitting on the capture. What do I do? I'm leaving for India on Thursday and need a solution yesterday! Has anyone out there had a similar problem or did I just buy a faulty computer?

I know you said you threw out your preferences, but have you tried it using FCP Rescue? If not, try this link, download the correct version, then follow the additional instructions posted below by Brian Conner in a previous thread.
http://www.pistolerapost2.com/fcprescue/
"In some rare cases, you have to modify that sequence of actions.
After the step where you trash the prefs in Rescue, quit Rescue, start FCP, create a new project & change a couple of settings. Doesn't matter what, because later you'll be trashing them.
Now quit FCP and Shut Down the Mac. (Shut Down, not Restart.) Then boot up again. In a Finder window, confirm that the FCP preferences files exist.
Now start FCP again and set the prefs the way you want them. Close the project, so that NO projects are open. Quit FCP.
Open FCP Rescue 5. You should not be getting a corrupt settings message. Click Backup and quit Rescue."
Hopefully that will do the trick, or post back if still needing help.

Audio Sync Problem after transitions/filters applied to timeline in FCP

I have Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 on a MAC Pro. I installed 2 Maxtor SATA II 200gig drives and created a striped RAID. I want to be clear about audio sync issues. I have my easy setup/properties....all those settings set to DV NTSC and I am monitoring out from my DV Deck via firewire, not the audio from the computer.
After capturing the clip(s) I assemble them onto the timeline, add a few transitions or filters. The audio shifts off a lot. More everytime I add or do more with the clip. After rendering more, the audio shifts more. All scratch disks, rendered clips points to the Video Drive (striped RAID) I've setup. I'm not new to video editing but new to a MAC. Yes, I am a PC guy. I work with Premiere Pro 1.5. I am pleased so far making the switch, just need to fix this audio issue.
All properties of the audio clip are correct, DV NTSC properties - 48K etc. This particular capture I made with 2 channel mono clips instead of a single DV stereo stream, simply because I have a split audio on the production tape and would like to take advantage of working with two seperate mono audio files. When I trim, I make sure the audio stays with the video but it appears that when I do trim, add a transition or filter, that's when the audio goes out of sync. No indication with a ("- #")on the icon. The clips which I captured are less than a minute long. Used for testing in these new learning stages.
Questions:
1. I created a striped RAID with the 2 Maxtor drives, I used MAC OS Extended (Journaled) with 256k Raid Block size. Is this correct?
2. Would the audio captured in 2 channel mono affect the sync? (assuming you don't shift it manually on the timeline)
3. What other MAC settings should I do to the system that will result in better preformances?
4. What settings should I set in FCP for better performance results?

hi vcp
welcome to the forum, glad you made the switch ... you won't be sorry (although you might be wondering at the moment!)
1. nothing wring with that
2. no
3. just don't install 3rd party crap you don't need ... and don't install any anti-vrus software
4. no special settings required
what camera did you capture from? did you capture with FCP?
cheers

Audio Only Capture problem

I'm using FCE on a Macbook and although it's worked absolutely perfectly for about a month, I'm suddenly getting a capture screen which shows colour bars and has the message 'Audio Capture Only Selected - Video preview disabled' and, sure enough, it's only capturing audio. Yet when playing the tape through, the video shows perfectly well. I can find no reference anywhere in the FCE manual or in the software to capturing audio only, so can't revert to capturing video as well as audio. I've clearly done something wrong - can anyone help?
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Nothing that you have described in this thread is common to the application. These are the first instances of anything like this that I have heard. Your first message creates a function which is not normally available in the application. I'm not sure how that was achieved, but there seems to be something significantly wrong with your system or the way the application is installed. You cannot make a project, save it, and close the application without generating the FCE prefs files.
Did you recently upgrade your operating system? Did you do a clean erase of your system drive and install the new OS, or did you upgrade it?
There may also be an application installation problem. You should begin by repairing permissions on your system drive. You might want to delete evertyhing related to Final Cut Express, Title 3D and Title Craw. Make sure you're an admin user and reinstall the software directly from the install discs.

Problems with Roxio Spin Doctor audio capture

I recently purchased Roxio Toast Titanium 10, which includes Spin Doctor 6 (version 5.0.4). I am trying to use it to capture audio streaming as described in the Spin Doctor User Guide, but continue to have problems. I have repeatedly contacted Roxio with little success. Most recently they had me provide a copy of my System Profiler file and "escalated" the issue. Only result was that I was told to uninstall and reinstall Toast 10. I did that but the problems persist. Here's my report back to Roxio, which explains the problem. I'm wondering if anyone here has encountered this problem or has suggestions on how to proceed.
Bottom line is that I cannot capture streamed audio, as Spin Doctor documentation says I should. I'm guessing this has something to do with the Audio Capture Support program within Spin Doctor, but I can't find out what's wrong.
Here's the description I provided Roxio: +I uninstalled the software and re-installed it per your instructions. Once in Spin Doctor I also installed Audio Capture Support, closed Spin Doctor, and re-opened it. The Start Auto Music Capture button was active. Following the instructions in your Spin Doctor User Guide (page 22) I went selected "start a new recording" and selected various parameters. CDSD Audio Capture was one of the input options. I clicked on the "start" button and immediately got an error message. After that the Auto Music Capture button was no longer active and CDSD audio capture was no longer one of the input options.+

UPDATE: I again uninstalled everything and reinstalled. I did not install the Auto Capture Support feature in Spin Doctor. I was able to successfully record from an internet stream, saved it, and then started another recording. After the second recording I quit Spin Doctor and re-opened it. Now I have the same problem as before: the Auto Capture button does not work and CDSD is not an input option. Back to the same situation as before. I tried quitting both Toast and Spin Doctor and re-opening them but it didn't make a difference.
