Flatten two audio cords (mic output) into an Apple port.

Anyone know of an adapter where you can stick the two wires from standard headsets into one side, and plug it into an apple input/output port (designed for "iPhone Headset"
Thanks in advance.

Yes, I've seen those, but I was asking simply of curiosity because it would just be cooler to connect it right through the jack. Also, I just realized, a USB adapter wouldn't help iPhone, iPad, and iPod users, as there is not a standard USB port. But thanks.

Setting two audio outputs

Hi there,
Is it possible to set audio output to two sources simultaneously? I use Bose speakers as front speakers - these use an USB connection - and another set of cheaper speakers as rear speakers - these connect into the "headphone" hole. Is there a way to make my Macbook source the sound into both at the same time rather than selecting one or the other (under System Preferences / Sound)?

With Audio Hijack Pro

you can hijack the audio from one application (or the system audio) and use Auxiliary Device Output effects to send the audio to additional output devices.

How to join two audio books into one

Somehow the audiobook that i have had for a while got split into two different audiobooks
Is there someway to merge them back together?

The following solution will merge two audio streams of different formats and mix two audio streams of the same format... translation, make sure they're the same format before you merge them.

Mergin two audio tracks into one without hardware

Hello i'm Michele from Italy.
I'm trying to develop a system to merge two audio traks together but at moment i didn't find a good solution.
I guess the object javax.sound.sampled.Mixer seems to need an hardware audio card (wich is not present in remote servers) and this class http://www.jsresources.org/examples/MixingFloatAudioInputStream.java.html
do the job with poor results, no pan is avaible, stereo is not supported well.
may someone help me to use one of this classes in right way?
thanks a lot

As for Mixers, I do believe that there should always be a software mixer installed on the system, but I'd be worried about throwing a Headless exception if you're running them on a remote server.
If you're okay with using JMF, then there is an example program that merges tracks into a single file...

When downloading video into FCP my two audio tracks are locked together.

When downloading HD video into FCP my two audio tracks are locked together. Channel one will not separate from channel two. Not good. One channel is my miked talent, the other abient. Any suggestions? I cannot find the problem. Sequence settings? Preference settings?
Help!

I think you mean "importing", not downloading.
Downloading is when you copy a file from an Internet server to your computer.

Any suggestions?
Select the two tracks and choose Modify > Stereo Pair
Or you can just use the keyboard shortcut option-L

Turn mic input into another speaker output on G60-235DX?

On other computers I have had, I could turn the mic input into a second headphone/speaker jack but I do not know how to do it with this laptop and I'm new to Vista as well. On page 5 of the Notebook Tour User Guide located here it says "This table describes factory settings. For information about changing factory settings, refer to the user guides located in Help and Support." but I just do not know what "Help and Support" it is referring to exactly. When I am on the G60-235DX page and I click a link in the "Support for this product" box in the lower right, I can never seem to chase down any info on this subject. I have periodically done a search and then given up and now I realize I am just not going to be able to do it without bothering someone else for the answer. Thanks for any help!

See my answer to the other thread you opened. When you do that, you have a double conversion (first D/A, then A/D - though I don't know what actually happens when you use a capturing software like AudioHijack), you might create a hum etc.

Low audio on mic w/60D

New at DSLR (but old on DV and film) and noted audio on my Canon EOS 60D isn't great. I got a corded lav mic and tried two different methods; first lav into 60D and then used digital recorder by itself. Obviously digital recorder was excellent but the lav mic plugged into 60D was very low.
I tried shotgun mic and it worked reasonably ok on 60D.
All new to me so any comments welcomed on low audio problem.

Hello Jaymack,
You probably need to adjust the sound recording level which will raise the audio recording level. To do this, go into the Menu > Sound Recording function. Switch Sound rec. to [Manual] and then press Set. You would select Rec. level and look at the level meter while turning the <Quick Dial> to adjust the sound recording level. You want the level adjusted so that the level meter sometimes lights up to the "12" (-12 dB) mark on the right for loudest sounds.

Cutting two audio tracks in synchrony with video, question

I had to chop my movie in two because it did not fit on one DVD. This forum suggested that you make a complete second copy and delete the second half of one, and the first half of the other copy and burn your DVD with the respective halves. No problem with the first half, I deleted the video and had to go back and individually delete the audio tracks and everything stayed in synchrony. The problem arises when trying to delete the first half of the movie and not being able to use the play head to delete audio and video simultaneously. The audio of the first half of the movie is preserved, and if I delete the audio one track at a time it will shift the audio in relation to the video. I thought there would be a way of chopping off the video and audio tracks at the same point without the tedious task of trying to put everything back in sync "by hand". I have two audio tracks so it might be tricky to cut at the end of one audio track, without getting the other out of sync. Thanks for suggestions.
Mike

Hi Mike:
Perhaps the easiest way is to export the entire movie back to DV tape and then re-importing to imovie. That way, the entire movie is now combined into a "flattened" version. Meaning the audio and video are combined together into one video track, making it possible to split the final version in two.
Pain in the neck, but much easier that doing it one clip at a time.

Beginner question: Two audio tracks become one - how to undo?

I know this surely is a beginners' problem, i hope for a quick reply anyway. I've imported material I had before logged with AVID Liquid, into Premiere CS4. In order to get video and audio together I had to put video and audio in a new sequence by hand. I then loaded this seqeunce into the source monitor to be able to cut my material (one video track, two audio tracks (one from a directional mic, which I don't always want)) from there. But when I paste a clip in my editing sequence I only get video plus ONE audio track in the stereo track. But I need both audio tracks because sometimes I'm going to delete one of them. So my question: How do I get video and BOTH audio tracks from one sequence to the other?
Thank you very much, you've had much patience with me with similiar questions.
Niklas

To do what you want, you won't be able to work with the media as a single clip. You'd have to go into the sequence with the video and two audio tracks, and pick out what you want from there instead of the Source monitor. Make your cuts, laso the clips you're using, then do a Cut/Paste from the main sequence into the edit sequence. Make sense?

Recording to two audio tracks at same time

I am having trouble recording a vocal on track one and a guitar, (via second microphone)
onto track two. I am going through an Apogee, and I have phantom power enabled on both
mics. However when I click the record button on one track it seems not possible to click
the record button on the other track. I have input monitoring button selected on both tracks
and the main record button selected.
Any suggestions at all will be most welcome. I have looked in previous forums and read and
tried various options, but no luck at all so far.
Thanks very much

Hello to Data Stream Studio and howdy cowbell bill. Thanks you both for your replies
and it sounds like you are both in agreement as to what the problem is.
Keeping in mind what you suggested,
I went back onto Logic this morning, but I'm still having the same problem of not being able
to record enable two audio tracks simultaneously. I have checked both mics and both mic
cables, and the breakout cable that leads into the Apogee pre-amp. Those things are all OK.
I've now tried to back-track and to trouble-shoot what little I know. This is what I've done :
1: Shut down and re-opened Logic
2: Opened a new project.
3: Shut off the phantom power for both mics
4: Disconnected both mics and cables
5: Opened a new audio track (track one)
6: Assigned mic 1 to audio track one.
7: Assigned mic 2 to audio track two.
8: Re-connected cables
9: Turned the phantom power back on for both mics.
10: Enabled the input enable/monitor button for both tracks (in the track header)
11: Turned on the main record button in the transport bar.
12: Tried to turn on the record button for both tracks. (in the track header)
11: I can only turn on one at a time. As soon as I click one the other
one turns off.
I have the mixer turned on and can see that both tracks are in Mono.
I am wondering if the way I have the Apogee set up might be the problem?
I have the original Apogee Duet. Phantome power is displayed with two red LEDs
which show up on the front to the unit. Both are illuminated when phantom power is
powered on. I have the volume turned up fully for both mics (via. the Apogee control
panel that shows up on my computer screen). HOWEVER, when clicking the controller
knob on the top of the Apogee unit itself I don't seem to be able to see the two mics
being shown up on the computer screen at the same time. (I hope this makes sense).
I seem to remember a display that shows mic one icon, a display that shows mic 2 icon,
a display that shows the headphone/speaker icons, and a display that shows both
mic one icon and mic two icon.
Thanks for any help you might be able to give me on.
I am sorry this post is so long but I wanted to try to explain
the problem as clearly and as unambiguously as I am able.

How can I get my audio input and output devices back? I have no sound and cannot see any of the devices in Audio MIDI Setup..??

Hi, I tried to set up a new output audio device on my mac that would have multiple outputs (iBox Twist speaker and my internal speaker) but when I went to click onto one of the iBox Twist (there were 2 options available: iBox Twist and iBox Twist Stereo), Audio MIDI Setup crashed and when I finally got that back open, I found that there were no audio input or output devices to be found. My sound is working, as when I turn on my iMac, the starting sound still plays, however the volume control in the menu bar is no longer a black colour, but grey and when I try to change the sound on my keyboard it does not change. This already happened to me once, and after 3 hours I managed to fix it very simply (switching off Mac, unplugging power cord, leaving for 15 seconds, plug power cord back in and switch Mac back on, holding Alt, Cmd, P and R keys until you hear the Starting Up sound twice) however this same technique that fixed it once before is not working this time and I am still stuck without sound. I have tried Repair Permissions, rebooting in Safe Mode, Hardware Test and checking for Software Updates. Has anyone else had this problem and managed to fix it?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give me!

In case anyone has had the same problem as me, I have just managed to fix this by doing the following:
Switch off Mac
Switch back on in Safe Mode (Hit power button, then hold Shift key until a loading bar appears at the bottom of the screen).
Switch off Mac again
Remove power cord and wait 15 seconds
Plug power cord back in and hold down the keys alt, cmd, p, r all at the same time until you hear Starting chime for a second time and hopefully your audio will back.

How do you link two audio clips to one video clip?

Hi guys,
I want to think multiple audio clips to one video clip and aint know how to do it! I found this page on Adobe knowledge base:-
http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/3.0/help.html?content=WS1c9bc5c2e465a58a91cf0b 1038518aef7-7f40.html
It says you can do it but I don't think it explains how? Can anyone provide me with the simple steps required to link two audio clips to one video clip? Many thanks.

Do you mean manual syncing? I've been reading this thread about workaround, which aren't working for me: http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/344/21236
But the question they are asking is the same one I am asking. Isn't this a typical situation, having multiple mics for one camera? For example, if someone filmed a concert with one camera but used both the camera audio, and ambient mic, and a mix from the board, then that would be 3 audio tracks with 1 video track. I'm in a similar situation, and I'm finding it hard to believe that FCPX isn't equipped to edit this way. There must be some way to get one video clip (with reference audio) to sync with four audio tracks.

Is there a way to change the name of audio device inputs/outputs?

Hi there hope someone can help me. I use my macs primarily for music production and I have several audio cards both USB and PCI on my MacPro and I use external audio cards with my MacBook Pro both running Mountain Lion. As I have many different outputs I would like to rename them from their defaults, in other words I would like to rename "Headphones" to "Studio Monitors" and so on.
I have created Aggregate Devices which almost works as a solution as its possible to name them easily. The problem is with an Aggregate Device, the system Volume Control becomes greyed out and I can no longer change the volume using the Apple Keyboard.
I'm hoping that someone might be able to tell me which system file holds the names for the Audio Inputs and Outputs so that I can basically apply a bit of a hack to change my inputs and outputs to something a little more transparent? I don't mind applying tweaks to plist files etc as I have done this numerous times in the past to tweak some aspects of OS X.
The other solution would be to tweak the Aggregate Device settings to enable the volume control. Either option would be great especially when I am working on projects with friends who would be able to choose to listen to audio on a different set of monitors or headphones without having to ask me constantly which output is which.
All help appreciated!

These directions may be useful in the future but I was wondering how to change the actual name of the computer.
You know when you log into your iMac and then it loads all of your preferences?
Well at the very top of the login box, there is the name of your computer, I want to change that.
Not short names for Home folders.
Thank you though...
Any other suggestions or solutions?

Streaming audio from my IPAD to my Apple TV from Rhapsody application. when Apple TV go into Screen Saver mode, about 5 minutes after that it stops playing the Audio Stream and goes into Sleep mode.

I am Streaming audio from my IPAD to my Apple TV from Rhapsody application. when Apple TV go into Screen Saver mode, about 5 minutes after that it stops playing the Audio Stream and goes into Sleep mode. I am using the Optical Out from the Apple TV to my receiver, the Apple TV is hard Wired to the Network, the IPAD is Wirelessly attached to the network (it continues to play the Audio Stream). When the Apple TV is turned back on it resumes playing once I manual select it for output from the IPAD. All device are on current releases of software. I have no Video hooked up to the Apple TV. How do I correct this?

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

I just bought an Apple TV and i have a bose sounddock with a mini jack in the back and and optical cord with a mini adapter on it (so optical cord going into the Apple TV and the mini adapter on the other end going into my bose dock but i dont get sound??

Not all the sound docks accept both analogue and optical on the auxillary input - I don't think the portable ones does but may be wrong - check the user manual.
As I said earlier all the mini optical (min Toslink) adapter does it make the optical connector fit a smaller socket, it does not convert digital audio to analogue for an analogue only auxillary input.
