HELP - voiceover recording problem!!!

As I am recording voiceovers, if I make a bad take and either undo the recording or clear it iMovie will at some later point render the audio from the bad clip in place of a newly recorded clip. It appears that iMovie reuses the filename of the deleted voice clip (e.g., "voice 03") for the new voice recording, but then it goes and retrieves the old deleted data and renders it in place of the new data.
This seems like some kind of catastrophic file management problem. If I just undo the bad recordings, iMovie will reuse the bad clips at some point. If I clear the bad clips from iMovie trash, iMovie retrieves them from OS X trash at some point. And when I try to delete them from OS X trash, the system tells me that I can't because they're "still in use."
The only fix I have found is to shut down iMovie, empty OS X trash, reboot iMovie and work 'till the next bad voiceover take. This slows my work process down to a bare crawl.
Has anyone had this problem. Could my copy of iMovie be corrupted in some way? HELP!

There may not be a great solution for this problem. There's some audio bugs that haunt iMovie, and the re-use of file names is one of them.
A quick look suggests the re-use of a name -- where a new voiceover plays the audio of a previously-discarded voiceover -- occurs routinely when the first voice file is in the Mac Trash. This sequence:
1. Record a voiceover. iMovie creates the file "Voice 01".
2. You don't like that clip so you delete it.
3. Save the project. "Voice 01" moves to the Mac Trash. (Usually, but not always.)
4. Record another voiceover. By default, iMovie names it "Voice 01" again. If there's a file with that name in the Mac Trash, It plays that Trashed clip, not the clip you just recorded.
Note that each time you save, iMovie runs a cleanup routine that removes all the unused (deleted) Media clips from the Media folder. The voiceover clips you've deleted are automatically moved to the Mac Trash.
They stay "busy" in the Mac Trash until you quit iMovie. (I suspect they shouldn't, which may be why you see them played from the Trash.) If you want to get rid of them, or experience problems with iMovie "reusing" a name, quit iMovie. That will break its connection with the files in the Mac Trash so they are no longer "busy". Now you'll be able to empty the Mac Trash if you want.
Instead of deleting the clip, moving the voiceover to an unused section of the audio track might be a solution. Discard them all later, before you quit. They can overlap each other at the end of a track. Not ideal, but it avoids duplicate file names.
Note that if you choose quit, THEN save when iMovie asks, the discarded clips don't go in the Mac Trash.
If you have QuickTime Pro for QuickTime 7, its lets you record audio. You could record the voiceover there and when you are satisfied with it, drag the small icon in the titlebar of the audio movie window to the iMovie timeline. That imports the voiceover to iMovie. (You never have to save the audio clip to disk.)
That may be the best workaround. Note that to discard poor-quality voiceovers in QT Player, just close that window.

Voiceover Recording Problem

I am working on about 20 movies. This problem is on only 1 of them so far. I have used the microphone to place many short audio clips onto the movies. On this one movie new audio clips do not play sound. There is no ducking checked on any of the files. Volume is high. The recording sound bar acts normally. Sound waves look normal when examined. I can record on other movies and play the sound back. What is happening here? Is there a hidden mute control that I might have accidentally hit? Is this file corrupted? Thank you for any help.

Hi
I've tried everything else I've read, found your thread and found a dodgy voiceover file in the project package. I have deleted that file from the package, but the voiceover files are still not playing in the movie preview. If I use the clip trimmer the audio plays.
What did you do after you deleted the corrupted file, or did it all just work again?
Thanks
Karen

Voiceover Recording - where?

How can I reveal the actual file of a Voiceover Recording in Finder?
Where is a Voiceover Recording stored?
Thanks.

I'm having this problem too, and I made some observations.
Video is fine in iMovie, but only in the small preview window. Both in fullscreen iMovie and exported and watched in Quicktime, video get less and less synchronised as the movie goes on.
At certain moments, (at the end of audio imported in imovie from finder, I think), the audio completely disappears until the end.
All the clips have been captured with my iPod touch 4G. It produced clips with different framerates (images per second). Some are 24 FPS, others 30, 26, etc.
Could this affect the synchronisation of audio?
Please help, this is very disappointing for a program and OS that are otherwise awesome.
Thanks,
Carl

Recording problem on my Xi-Fi Fatality?

'Recording problem on my Xi-Fi Fatality?d So I have a Xi-Fi Fatality, and I would like to be able to record directly from my computer so that it's own output is also the input. For example, if I'm on ventrillo or something and I want to play a funny mp3 to show my friends I'd like to be able for the audio to come directly from the output.
Anyways, my microphone seems to work fine, and that's where the trouble begins.
I go to the sound control panel and click on the recording tab. ? It has microphone as the default device and it says "working."
There are also options for "Auxillary" "Line-In" "Digital-In" and "What U Hear"
However, under each of them it says "currently unavailable"
I am unable to get any of them to function even when I set them to the default device.
Is this normal?

+ It's funny you should post this because I came here right now to post the exact same thing. I would have posted earlier but I forgot my account information and had to wait to get a reply email.
So... same here (yes I know this was no help).
Actually this is kind of weird. Every now and then my "Aux 2" will become available and my mic is not. I have to restart my computer 4 or 5 times for my mic to become available.

Record Store only reads one record problem

I have a problem where I can read and write a record to a records store, but i can not do this for multiple records as i am trying with below code. Any help is very welcomes thank you, I am very new to J2ME.
I have a J2ME midlet that calls the startRecordStore() method which create a record 1.
It uses a static int records and it increments it every time a new recordstore is created, well I am not entirely sure if i need to do this. Because I want to go through all the records created.
public void startRecordStore() {
     // Incremenets records count
     // Temporary example for this workshop only
     records+=1;
     try { rs = RecordStore.openRecordStore("StudentStore"+records+"", true);
     catch (Exception err) {
          Alert alr = new Alert("Error Creating", err.toString(), null, AlertType.WARNING);
          alr.setTimeout(Alert.FOREVER);
          display.setCurrent(alr);
}Then it calls the readData() method which reads the data from the 3 fields, something like this
for(int i=0;i<count;i++) {
          ods.writeUTF(ReadDataString);
          ods.writeUTF(ReadDataString[i+1]);
          ods.writeInt(ReadDataInt[i]);
          ods.flush();
          // Put the whole write stream to a byte
          ReadDataByte = os.toByteArray();
          // finally add the fetchDataType to to a record store
          rs.addRecord(ReadDataByte, 0, ReadDataByte.length);
     os.reset();
     os.close();
     ods.close();
Then the WriteData() method is called displaying the records
PROBLEM it only displays the last record, instead of more then one record.
eg. StudentStore1, StudentStore2 etc etc ..
// create record enumerator referrence to the instance
     re = rs.enumerateRecords(null,null,false);
     // go through each records using enumerator
     while(re.hasNextElement()) {
          rs.getRecord(re.nextRecordId(), ReadInputData, 0);
          buffer.append(ids.readUTF());
          buffer.append("\n");
          buffer.append(ids.readUTF());
          buffer.append("\n");
          buffer.append(ids.readInt());
          buffer.append("\n");
          Alert alr = new Alert("Currently Reading", buffer.toString(), null, AlertType.WARNING);
          alr.setTimeout(Alert.FOREVER);
          display.setCurrent(alr);
     // CLOSE INPUT STREAM
     is.close();Any idea thanks guys

public void startRecordStore() {
    records+=1;
    try {
        rs = RecordStore.openRecordStore("StudentStore"+records+"", true);
    }Are you sure this is what you want to do?
I don't know where you're calling startRecordStore(), but you're creating a new record store for each "records".
Shouldn't you be just opening the record store "StudentStore", and them adding records to that store?

Voice recording problem i iMovie

I have a problem with voice comments in i Movie. It worked. Then it suddenly doesn't. The recording seems to work. But when I play it afterwords there is no sound. The strange thing is that I have managed it, in the same movie. So when I play the first part there is a sound, and when I come to the latter part there isn't a sound. Without me changing anything. What can be wrong?

This muted voiceover problem has been reported on a number of occasions in the forum. I think it was also a problem for some users of iMovie '09.
Try this - In Finder, locate your project in your Home folder Movies > iMovie Projects (or at the top level folders in an external drive). Right-click (or Control-click) on the project name and select Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu. In the package you should see your voiceovers - they will be named Voiceover Recording.caf (probably with a number in the name).
Copy then Paste the voiceovers to your Desktop. Open them separately in QuickTime Player then export using "File > Export To > iTunes". The files will be converted to a different format, depending on your iTunes import settings (mine convert to AAC format). Once converted they will appear in your iTunes Library.
Now you can drag the voiceovers to the project timeline from the iTunes section of iMovie's Music Browser. Hopefully, the voiceovers will now play correctly.

Need help please I'm new to this forum... I have been having a few problems with my recordings like others I try to play back programme I have recorded and get nothing and also trying to delete a programme I'm getting a message to say I can't delete as the programme may be running on another box!!! I only have 1 box!!! I have tried all the rebooting fixes but no joy... I have an old white style hh... Is this or the box tired and in need of replacing??? I've also checked the settings and I'm online and have space on my disk!!! Help

We have had the same problem, which is really frustrating!!
The box appears to be recording but when the programme is played back, it stops during the programme and goes to the resume play on the menu or sometimes the channel isn't there, its just a black screen, I'm thinking of going to Sky if it carries on, getting really fed up now!!!

Voiceover recording from Firewire Soundcard

Hi All,
I've read most posts concerning voiceover recording but none describe my problem. I would like to use my Alesis firewire IO26 external sound card with a generic microphone. In every single program the device registers and is able to record from the microphone, except in Imovie '11. The device registers but there's no signal.
Is this a bug? Has anyone had this before problem....?
Thanks

I gues I should've tried this before posting but I just recorded a little voiceover in FCP and that works like charm (same setup).
The reason I'm not using FCP for the entire project is that my mom edited our holiday video in Imovie and I would like to finish it there. Even if i wanted to finish the project in FCP it would not be possible because the timeline will not convert correctly to FCP.
So the problem remains that iMovie will not let me record a voiceover.

I need advise and help with this problem .
First , I have been with Mac for many years ( 14 to be exact ) I do have some knowledge and understanding of Apple product .
At the present time I'm having lots of problems with the router so I was looking in to some info , and come across one web site regarding : port forwarding , IP addresses .
In my frustration , amongst lots of open web pages tutorials and other useless information , I come across innocent looking link and software to installed called Genieo , which suppose to help with any router .
Software ask for permission to install , and about 30 % in , my instinct was telling me , there is something not right . I stop installation . Delete everything , look for any
trace in Spotlight , Library . Nothing could be find .
Now , every time I open Safari , Firefox or Chrome , it will open in my home page , but when I start looking for something in steed of Google page , there is
''search.genieo.com'' page acting like a Google . I try again to get raid of this but I can not find solution .
With more research , again using genieo.com search eng. there is lots of articles and warnings . From that I learn do not use uninstall software , because doing this will install more things where it come from.
I do have AppleCare support but its to late to phone them , so maybe there some people with knowledge , how to get this of my computer
Any help is welcome , English is my learned language , you may notice this , so I'm not that quick with the respond

Genieo definitely doesn't help with your router. It's just adware, and has no benefit to you at all. They scammed you so that they could display their ads on your computer.
To remove it, see:
http://www.thesafemac.com/arg-genieo/
Do not use the Genieo uninstaller!

How do I copy files onto a hard drive (device) from Mac 2 7 pc. I'm able to transfer files from device but cannot transfer files to device. Anyone had same problem or can help solve this problem? Help pls

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you try to copy data to the external drive, what happens? If you don't see any error, the external drive is formatted in NTFS, and OS X can't write in it.
To be able to write on this external drive, you have to use an app like Paragon NTFS. Another solution would be to format the external drive in FAT32 or exFAT with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Make sure you copied all the files of the external disk to the internal disk before doing it

Is this happing because the external is formatted to PC and not mac?
Yes that is correct.
Will I need to get a mac external hard drive if I wish to continue to save my documents like this?
If you no longer use a PC you could format this drive for the Mac. However be aware that formatting a drive will erase all the data on it. So you would need someplace to copy the data off this drive to while you did the re-format and then you could copy the data back.
You could get another drive, format it for the Mac and copy the data to it. Then re-format the original drive and use it as a backup drive. Always good to have backups.
Post back with the drive type and size of the current drive, if you are doing backups now and how and if you still need to access this drive from a PC.

Adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem

Hi,
I got this message after importing about ten or so H.264 files that I encoded from Adobe media encoder. "adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem."
The files we're shot with HD cameras. Edited in Premiere Pro CS3. I installed the update 3.0.1 with still the same error.
I also tried a brand new project and after about ten or so files being imported into a timeline, the system crash. I tried this twice....
    Thanks in Advance

Hi Hunt,
       Here is the skinny. A window base PC. footage shot with HD sony HD cameras, Project imported to Premiere CS3. Once completed sent file to Adobe media encoder and render them as H.264 widescreen high Quality. Imported them to Adobe Encore CS3. After about ten files or so. I got the error message. Did all the basic trouble shoot like restarting the computer, got latest patch. Even build a new test project with the same problem.
    Something else I read in the forums, is the encore will transcoded the project to Mpeg 2 anyway, after looking at my project I realized those few files were indeed untranscoded. So it will be a double compression and I dont want that. So, my new question is, what is H.264 good for ?????????? I was research that Mpeg 2 is a faster render but H.264 is a slower render but better quality.....
   what do you think ????

Novice needs help: inconsistent recording volume ("flutter")?

Hello All,
I'm new to Audition and have been struggling with my recording quality: I'm on a newer dual core Toshiba Qosimio multimedia laptop running Win 7 (64bit) and using a standard desk mic. I read the faq and help files on recording but still remain baffled about this. I'd greatly appreciate some help:
When recording music in Audition (for example: one strum of a guitar chord), I get a kind of fluttering: I don't hear the whole continous chord's sound. There are subtle 'dropouts' of the sound (like it has inconsistent volume). Now, I'm new at this so I'm probably not using the correct terminology..so I posted a wav file to let you hear:
http://home.comcast.net/~samiri/director/trash/InconsistentAudio1.wav
When using this same mic in my older PIV laptop running Win XP, the record quality is fine. Also, when I downloaded Audacity (free audio program) I think I hear the same fluttering..so maybe there is some way I need to set the recording (input) preferences on this machine.
Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

Ah, I had a recent laptop with Connexant Smart Audio, but recently replaced it.
There is a separate Smart Audio Control Panel that I think is accessible elswhere from the Windows Control Panel. I found it almost totally incomprehensible, but seem to remember that there was a way of switching between two options, one simpler than the other.
I would also go into the advanced playback settings to see if there are "enhancements" there. Some of these may affect recording.
As I said before, the only approach with all of this is to find all the various audio contol panels, switch off any effects or enhancements and set all the default sample rates for record and playback to the rate you will be using. Note that the various audio control panels may or may not stay in sync, so it's as well to go round the loop(s) a few times. Do check there is nothing hidden in the "enhancements" area by making sure you scroll down all the options if there are more than just one or two. Note that the Windows audio Control Panel has to be closed and re-opened before you can trust what it says.
None of this is the fault of Audition, which just records what is fed to it. It is the fault of Microsoft that there is a broken sample rate converter in Windows 7 and whoever designed the Connexant audio gui does need to be re-educated, I think.
It would, of course, be very sensible to seek out an external decent usb or similar audio interface.

Help with systemd problems/reply to closed thread

@Everyone; as the previopus topic was closed, I am opening a new one here, partly to reply to some things that was said to me in the previous thread/topic (and I do not like to leave people hanging), but mainly to try and get some help with my systemd config (that I was not able to find help with in the wiki or manpages).
@czubek; eww, that sounds rather similiar to some other operating systems I've heard of (not just, but obviously including, windows)... For me, subjectively, that is not very attractive, as being able to have a single application do a single thing, and then mixing and matching as I personally see fit is a great thing.
@tomegun: I can indeed see your point, but if I made direct quotes on all the things I reply too, my posts would reach biblical proportions.
Mmm-hmm, I do indeed know of "the Arch Way"; however, the system that you expose can be of varying complexity as well, and I found that the system that was presented to me by way of Sysvinit/initscripts was a way simpler system than that presented to me by systemd.
Indeed, and I do like that; I enjoy knowing how my system works and learning more about it; however, the truth is that reading manpages and the wiki isn't always enough. And I use the numbers instead of letters in certain places as a jest, please, do not get offended by that; if you have to, get offended by my opinions.
Ah, I have now scanned the wiki, the manpages, and have already faced problems. While part of me is saddened by this fact (as I was hoping for a smooth transition to systemd), part of me is glad that I can at least prove that everything isn't quite as simple as some people would make it out to be. More on this later in this post, as I do need help with the problems I have faced.
And I wouldn't say that the new and old way are equally trivial, as I immediatley faced problems with "the new way". More on this later.
Ok, I find that if the debate is polarized, then there is nothing wrong with describing it as such. I spell what I see.
Oh my... Ignored as a matter of principle? I would say that that is an excellent way to stagnate; by that logic, moviemakers, gamemakers etcetera should ignore any and all criticism they recieve, as the critics are not contributing.... Wouldn't that lead to a complete halt in development? Isn't criticism (so long as it is constructive, obviously) a key component of (media/software) evolution?
Ah, I see, then I misunderstood the current state of the install media
"Some adjustements"... Well, I guess we'll have to see how that goes, then. Hopefully it'll be smooth.
@Everyone; Awebb possesses stunning accuracy as far as his observations go.
@zb3; My point exactly.
@tomegun; I believe you to be wrong; complaining (but not whining) is the first step towards improvement, as I think that I and zb3 has shown.
Further, your last point (where you talk about "deep understanding of Y" and whatnot) is basically saying that only devs and programmers can contribute, so zb3's observation would be correct.
Also, making suggestions is part of constructive criticism; you can do that even if you can't code, e.g. by saying "X works badly because it makes Y crash; couldn't we replace X with something akin to Z?". This is a valid point even if you have no intricate understanding of X, Y or Z, and if it is impossible to replace X for one reason or the other, it's not hard to reply with "Replacing X is impossible because of reason Q", and then see if someone can solve reason Q etcetera.
zb3's example is obviously helping; for one, it would allow people to know taht they can't boot with systemd in certain cases, or that installing/runing systemd can break their system. I would consider that rather important information.
@Everyone; Now then, to see if I can (or rather, if I can get help to) shed some light on some problems I've been having.
My transition to systemd went pretty smooth (besides the fact that I couldn't use 'systemctl' to set anything, and neither duckduckgo nor any posts in the forums could help me (the error I continously got was "Failed to issue method call: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1") and that there are no manpages/tips on how to configure the files for "localtime" and "adjtime", which would've been good considering some syntax have changed) to about halfway through, to the point where I was supposed to start using systemd for my daemons.
Now then, to the main problem; first, I tried running
"systemctl enable syslog-ng.service"
and got the following message;
"ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service' '/etc/systemd/system/syslog.service'
ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/syslog-ng.service' '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/syslog-ng.service'"
Since it doesn't exclusively say that something went wrong (at least as far as I can understand), I pondered the message a bit, but moved on to try and start dbus by issuing
"systemctl enable dbus.service",
to which I got the reply
"The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled using systemctl."
This I can only assume is an error message of some sort, especially seeing as it says "not meant to be enabled using systemctl", but the wiki rather explicitly states that that is what I am supposed to do.
I dare not move on (or attempt to start other daemons) without further advice, as I fear I might break my system. Any ideas as to how to solve this would be greatly appreciated.

indicates that running "systemctl enable syslog.service" is now enabled.
If you try running sytemtctl enable <whatever>.service and get
"The unit files have no [Install] section. They are not meant to be enabled using systemctl." means there is no <whatever>.service file available to enable.
The dbus.service as far as I know is already enabled when installing systemd and doesn't require any action.
Ah, right, systemd is chatty (I'm of the old skool; if nothing is/goes wrong, a program should keep quiet).
Oh ok, then I should dare more on.
ZekeSulastin wrote:To be a bit more precise, it means the service is there but it's only used as a dependency for something else; the [Install] section of the file is what tells systemctl where to link it and such. Also, where exactly in the wiki were you told explicitly to 'systemctl enable dbus.service'? I can easily point you to the sections in both installation guides that tell you how to set things like /etc/localtime et. al (also `man 7 archlinux`), but not the one that said to manually enable dbus.
Ah, I see; and well, I was told right here, going from the top, to "Enable Daemons formerly listed in rc.conf [...] For a translation of the daemons from /etc/rc.conf to systemd services, see: List of Daemons and Services.", and, using the list, dbus is mentioned there, as you can see. Since I started from the top, I did not know that you didn't need to enable that service. Perhaps it could be added to the descriptions of the relevant services in the Wiki which ones are autostarted?

Meh, I directly refer to the relevant people, they can easily see their own old posts in the previous thread, etcetera... I think te ones who have something to say will be able to find my replies to their previous statements (or so I hope).

Hmm, I think it means cop-out for lack or proper arguments/responses... But ok, I'll let it slide, for now (mainly as I can't do much else).

Ah ok, thank you. Now, having abandoned all hope, I'll start configuring again and see how it goes... May the void protect me. If I die, grieve not for me, but remember me in the fight against hard-to-configure applications.
(edit/addon)
Actually, what am I supposed to do with "hwclock"? the List of Daemons only says that I shouldn't run that in tandem with ntpd, but I'm not running ntpd, so... How do I get hwclock with systemd?
Edited for additional question.
