HDV Channel 3 mic...?

I am editing using FCP Studio 2. Recently a bunch of footage has been recorded for me as the editor on the Cannon XLH1 Camera. The footage is HDV and recorded on mini dv tapes.
A mic was used that was connected to the 3rd channel for audio. I have been told that capturing in Final cut pro will not provide me with the channel seperated of just the mic.
If anyone has any ideas of whether or not this is true, or if there is a work around. That would be great!!
Thank you.
Jesse

couple things to try maybe:
1) set the camera to downconvert over firewire to DV for the ch3&4 capture pass and see if you can route the audio to capture from 3&4 from that downconvert
or 2) take the audio out direct from the camera (set monitoring to 3&4) and run that to the Mac's line in jack and capture it from there (then sync and merge in FCP)

  • 8 channel mic pres optional adat

    Hey Guys,
    So I'm buying a 003 (hold your moans)
    and I want to completely bypass the stock mic pres.
    I already own a presonus Digimax 96k and will have that hooked up to adat.
    I was wondering about my analogue ins on the 003 though.
    What 8 channel or less mic pres would you recommend to stick in there?
    I do need 16 channels in at all times.
    My budget isn't that great after I've spent all my
    money on various other gear.
    Some people have told me about the focusrite octopre.
    But I was wondering about ART MPA tube pres.
    Anything you could advise would be great.
    Thanks

    Thanks guys,
    does anyone know about bypassing the mic pres on
    the 003? I'm guessing its like the 002.
    On the specs on Digi's website it said that
    the 1st 4 inputs are TRS balanced but the
    other 4 inputs are unbalanced.
    Does this mean I can expect crappy signals
    into those (5-8) channels no matter what pres I hook into
    them?
    Also, on channels 1-4 are they getting put through
    the on board pres of the 003 if I plug into the TRS ins?
    if so, isn't that going to effect the signal as well?
    Thanks

  • 4 Channel Mic Pre

    Hello,
    Now that I survived another Mardi Gras season I would like to upgrade a few things in my studio. I want to use channels 5-8 (line level 1/4") on my Ensemble. I was looking at the Solid State Logic Alpha VHD 4 channel pre, looks versatile... I can not find one here in town to test, so I was wondering if anyone has any experience with this unit?
    I am open to suggestions also, (2) dual channels maybe... I am looking to spend around $1500.00
    Thanks,

    No first hand experience with the ART TubeFire8 myself, but maybe you might be interested. Who knows, it might be the diamond in the ruff you are looking for. Check it out:

  • Creating a project with 5.1 audio channels

    Hi,
    My camera can record in 5.1 channels (I have a multi channel mic for that). If I record using it, I obviously want to create a project that can include this and that will eventually will get me to create a DVD with 5.1 channels, so I can benefit from it when watching them into my Home Theater.
    Does anyone knows if this is possible?
    I seem to see some 5.1 options when sharing as Quicktime movie and so on but not sure how to use them.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.
    AMPJ

    You need Final Cut Studio to burn 5.1 on mac. (DVD Studio Pro, to be specific)
    Yes, IMO Apple really sells Logic users short on 5.1. Sure you can author, but no delivery platform unless you pony up $$$ for FCS.

  • Another Multiple Mic Thread

    Hi Guys,
    I am about to start recording a group discussion Podcast for the company I work for.
    The format will be one host and 3/4 panel members.
    I was hoping if possible to record each person on a separate channel in GB3 for post-editing of levels etc.
    The big question is... how?
    I was wondering if it would be possible (via powered hub) too connect 4 or 5 Logitech USB desktop mics to one mac and assign them as individual channels?
    I have one of these Mics already and the quality is fine for what we want to achieve. Will by mac recognise the mics and separate devices even though they and all the same? And will the USB2 channel be able too handle the data rate?
    Each channel (mic) will be mono and as it will be goin out as a compressed podcast I can lower the recording rate if needed.
    Thanks in advance for your input.

    Chris:
    If I used an aggregate device with the mics with a powered hub, how could I add a guitar to another track an drecord vocal and guitar simultaeneously..Is is possible. If I use an audio input device how will that solve it??
    Thanks for your time...
    This is my first post so I hope my "etiquette" is correct...
    Fred
    Your Mac should recognize the separate mics. But
    since you can only select one input source in GB, in
    order to record you have to create a so-called
    Aggregate Device in the Audio/Midi Manager that
    comprises all the different mics. Then select the
    Aggregate Device in GB, and you should be fine.

  • Audio Channels in Timeline

    Can I break out audio channels, or eliminate a R channel once I've dropped it into the timeline? I have separate mics on L and R channels, and want to just choose the L channel mic.  But I failed to set channels on all clips before moving into the timeline.

    You'll get different suggestions/methods, but what I use is the FILL LEFT and FILL RIGHT audio effects. If you want just the mic on the left channel of a stereo clip, add FILL LEFT and then you will only get the left channel audio, on BOTH the L and R channels.
    To expand on that, you could copy/paste to duplicate the clip, and add LEFT to one clip and RIGHT to the other, and then mix them as if they were seperate channels to start with. Or, add razor cuts to single audio clip at points where you want to switch mics L or R, then alternately apply the effect as needed to each segment and add audio crossfade at cuts. Many ways to work with it.
    Thanks

  • Four channel mix for P2 format?

    I'm in the final stages of editing an EPK for an upcoming indie film, but I'm having some problems getting the audio output the way it's supposed to be delivered. The distributor wants the EPK on a master tape with a four channel mix. The problem is getting it to render it out that way.
    We shot the EPK on P2 cards (720p), although the finished cut, while predominantly made up of P2 footage, also contains quite a number of production stills, SD footage and clips from the finished film sourced from the final Quicktime render file. Now the producer suddenly decides he wants me to export it as an MXF and put it on a P2 card, which he can then take to his people and have dubbed to HDCAM.
    But, even after reading the CS4 manual, which seems to indicate that you can export back to P2 in four channels, I can't get it to work right.
    I thought it was because I hadn't set up my sequence timeline for 5.1, so I created a new timeline as a 5.1 output. Then I had trouble porting the clips over to that because of memory issues (big project), so what I decided to do was export the project timeline twice as an MXF sequence. The first time I muted the tracks which had the music and effects on them and exported just the main program. Then I muted the main program audio and unmuted the music and effects and exported again. Then I opened a new project with a sequence that was set up for 5.1. I laid down both exports on the time line, the two video tracks right on top of each other. Then I used Source Channel mappings to route the main program to channels one and two, and the music and effects to channels three and four. I played it on the timeline and saw four channels light up with the mix.
    So thinking I had solved the problem, I exported it again as a MXF and examined the output - only to find that the new sequence was only two channels, and only the main program audio. The music and effects were nowhere to be found.
    Anybody know how to get this to work? Thanks!

    Unfortunately, unless a software CD-4 demodulator exists that can process "modulated" recordings (it might...), you'll need 4-channel hardware capture capability.  This is pretty common for musicians and you might find solutions in the music equipment section of Best Buy.
    In terms of software - Audacity is amazing and VERY powerful.  One thing you might be able to do with Audacity is something like:
    Record player -> CD-4 decoder -> 4-channel audio capture card/interface -> 4-track WAV file
    then
    4-track WAV file -> 4.0 or 5.1 channel AC3 (Dolby Digital) audio -> Dolby Digital capable surround receiver
    The latter is actually what I do with recordings from my Zoom H2 - however this has 4-channel mic recording but not 4-channel line-in recording.
    It looks like, in order to do software CD-4 demodulation, your recording solution will have to have a VERY high samplerate and a much higher cutoff for its lowpass filter than typical for audio - there are likely to be few off-the-shelf solutions for recording the "un-demodulated" CD-4 inputs.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadraphonic_sound#CD-4_.28Compatible_Discrete_4.29_.2F_Quadradisc - In short, I don't think recording to PC and then demodulating is going to be practical.

  • How to convert mono to stereo audio

    I updated my software and now I cant seem convert audio recorded on a single channel mic to both channels with the new version of iMovie. I know with previous versions you could open the file in Quicktime, but the Quicktime software is also new and doesnt have the same options. Reverting back to iMovie 9 also doesnt seem to be an option. Any suggestions/advice??
    Thanks!

    Yes I'm aware I can still use iMovie 9, which is what I've reverted back to until I can fix this problem.
    For now, I think that is the best choice.
    You could also buy QuickTime Pro 7 which will allow you to do the same mono conversion that iMovie version 9 does.

  • Distorted microphone with Linux mint in Lenovo G50-70

    I have installed Linux Mint 17.1 in Lenovo B590 and microphone works perfectly. I installed Linux Mint on a new Lenovo g50-70, microphone works low and very distorted.
    I've adjusted pavucontrol and I deleted to zero right channel mic, works perfectly for seconds but settings are deleted for auto adjusting mic and right channel is activated again. Then microphone works with distortion again.
    Thank you for your attention.

    Hi roberto-
    Yes, its a shame. I have also contacted lenovo support hoping that they can sort out this problem. However, first response from them was 'contact your internet service provider since internet connectivity goes down'! :-/ I am hoping I have been able to get through to them now at least about where the problem lies. I wonder if anyone has tried using the laptop with the same broadcom wireless adapter with some other version of OS (linux, windows 7 etc.) and whether they still face the same problem. I haven't tried that yet. If this is just an OS / driver issue I hope someone somewhere is working on a fix! If not, I guess the only other solution would be to get an external USB wifi adapter but that is not something one would want to do when you buy a brand new Lenovo laptop. This was a big let down for me.

  • Need help with a Purchased page on iPhone!

    My iPhone cannot access the purchased page on iPhone App store. Some time it show up the list of app that I have purchased but I have to wait about 2-4 minues for that. Also many times that App Store just shut down automatic when I open Purchased pages. This have been happen since I updated my device to IOS6. I had try my friend ID from Japan and it perfectly work. So any way to solve this problem? Thank you.

    I would say the iphone headset have 4 wires
    left channel
    right channel
    mic in
    ground
    I would say an external mic being mono at least that all iphone support
    would be 2 wires
    mic in
    ground
    then I would take a apple headset and cannibalize it
    there also are adaptors which change the apple headset into
    2 normal std 3.5mm audio output connector
    1 mono mic in connector you could chekc out those

  • M30 Harman Kardon speakers anoying sqeaking feedback sound

    After installing the HP Tele in a box software I found that my speakers began to squeal similar to feedback. I have attempted to re install the drivers but the niose is still anoying me. I have unistaled the tv in a box and taken it back to the shop after it stopped responding shortly after purchase. Can anyone assist me with this anoying sound?

    Hi
    check in the mixer settings (in the Control Panel > Sound & Audio devices > Device Volume > Advanced > [New Window] Volume Control) that the output channel MIC is muted. That should stop the feedback.

  • Capturing 4 Audio Channels - HDV???

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but it is NOT possible to capture 4 audio channels all at once in FCP?
    If this is this case, how do you go back and capture in another pass? Right now I can only capture the two channels that go along with the onboard mic, and not the channels that go with the XLR audio (in this case a Lav Mic.)
    I've tried to create a new capture preset, but it doesn't seem to work w/HDV.
    Should I try capturing the audio in a second pass using standard def? Would that work?
    Any thoughts would greattttttttttttly be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    As Thomas suggested in that thread, "Capturing Multiple Audio Channels", in chapter 20 of the the FCP User Manual is a great resource. But I'll break it down for you anyways...
    Here's how I capture 4-tracks of audio via Firewire with Final Cut Pro:
    Go to -
    Final Cut Pro Menu/Audio/Video Settings.../Capture Presets Tab
    Create two capture presets (1 set for the first two channels, the 2nd set for the last two channels and maybe one for all 4 channels mixed if you'd like)
    Select a Capture Preset and choose Edit then set which channels you'd like the preset to capture inside the Quicktime Audio Settings section of the Capture Preset Editor window. Make sure your device is plugged in and turned on or else the option will be greyed-out.
    Open the Log and Capture window in the Capture Settings tab and select which Capture Preset you'd like to use depending of which audio channels you'd like to capture.
    To make sure you're caturing 4-channels on your camera:
    Go To-
    Menu/Audio Setup/Audio Mode/ 12bit 1/2 , 3/4
    Throw the phones on and monitor the channels using the Audio Monitor button on the side of the camera. You can switch between monitoring the first 2, the second two, or all four channels at once. Remember if the camera is set to record 4 channels then it'll record 4 channels no matter what channels you're monitoring.

    I do not see a way to separate audio channels to edit them separately in Premiere Elements (any version).
    Premiere Elements does have audio effects including Balance, Fill Right/Fill Left, and Swap channels, but that is not what you are seeking.
    I would refer you to an audio editor such as the free Audacity for what you want to do.

  • Only the Front Left channel of my USB mic is being recognized!

    The microphone in question is this. When I plug it into my Macbook and look at it through Audio MIDI Setup, I can only see the Master channel and 1: Front Left. The Front Left channel was also greyed out, with the slider down at 0. When I record through the mic in Premiere, I (expectedly) get audio from only one channel. Could someone provide some insight?

    I hopped over to Windows 7 in boot camp and plugged in the mic. In Sound Options > Properties, it's also telling me that my microphone is only one channel. Did I purchase a mono microphone? Is it that all microphones of this nature record to mono? Or is mine somehow faulty? It would make sense that this microphone would be mono, but the fact that the one channel is named "Front Left" in the Audio Midi Setup might have sewn the seed of doubt that something was off.

  • Mono audio input from lapel mic - how to create audio output in both channels?

    Can that be done in FCP X, and how.
    Thanks a bunch.

    Thanks, David.
    So, if I have talent A on the left channel of the video, and talent B on the right channel of the same stereo recording...
    can I pan each of these "mono" sides centered so they both come out the left and right sides ?
