Help with audio question please
New guy here,
I have a MAC G5 with Premiere CS4. I do not prior Premiere experience. I've worked several other NLE packages so I'm not a rookie either.
Anyway, I'm routing the audio through an analog mixer and into a Canopus ADVC 110. I've been able to capture video and audio from a DVD player with Premiere's audio hardware settings set to (Built-in line input/Built-in line output). I've been able to capture both video and audio with the hardware setting set to (Built-in digital input/Built-in line output) put when I scrub on the time line or try he clip in he preview window it will not play back when I hit the space bar or click on the play button. When using (Built-in line input/Built-in line output)everything is fine.
Here's my question. How do I preview and adjust the audio prior to capturing it? I can hear it just fine when I'm capturing but I can't preview the audio levels to know where I'm at.
I thought the analog audio going into the Canopus converter would out put the audio as a digital signal since it's being exported to the MAC via firewire.
Hope someone out there is smarter than I am about this.
Thanks!
Jim
Based on the concept of Unity in a gain chain, if you set the levels properly at the output of the analog mixer, then they should be fine coming into the software after the A/D conversion. As long as you don't clip the digital input, you can adjust levels internally on an audio timeline, so it is always better to err on the side of too little rather than too much.
Digital maximum is -20 dB which is equivalent to 0 dB VU in the analog world. This provides sufficient headroom to avoid clipping in most circumstance.
Try a few different levels and see what works best for your needs.

Help with Audio Formats please
Hello everybody,
I have a problem with the Java AudioFormat class, can you help me please?
The thing is Im working on a voice chat using the following audio format settings:
AudioFormat(AudioFormat.Encoding.PCM_SIGNED, sampleRate, sampleSize, 1, 1, frameRate, false);
Where:
audioReadBytes = 1024;
sampleRate = 8000.0F;
frameRate = 8000.0F;
sampleSize = 8;
My problem is that these settings can cause incrementing voice delay and sometimes even block the application. It works fine on a LAN but on the internet it never works.
I wanted to ask you if there�s a better audioformat setting that can decrease the size and quality of the sound, so it works on low bandwidths.
I�m new to audio formats so I don�t understand them much and when I tried to change the settings by decreasing the sample rate I didn�t get what I expected.
Please help me...
Thanks a lot,

Help with audio files please....
Well I just learned somewhat about Audiofiles today and I dont know much but this is what I programmed.
import sun.audio.*;
import java.io.*;
public class music
public static void playMusic()
try
String Filename="di.au";
AudioStream as = new AudioStream(new FileInputStream(Filename));
AudioPlayer.player.start(as);
catch (IOException ioe) {
System.out.println(ioe);}
public static void main (String[]args)
playMusic();
Every time I do it though I get an error that says
"Java.io.IOException: could not create audio stream from input stream"
I tried running it with throws IOException to but that didn't do much eitherimport sun.audio.*;
import java.io.*;
public class music
public static void playMusic()
try
String Filename="di.au";
AudioStream as = new AudioStream(new FileInputStream(Filename));
AudioPlayer.player.start(as);
catch (IOException ioe) {
System.out.println(ioe);}
public static void main (String[]args)
playMusic();
}Sorry I didn't know about Quotes thought I'd fix it^^ -
Hi,
Question1
I am having real problems with my K7N2-Delta L MB and my Saitek p2500 pad with winxp pro + SP1.
I have just built a new pc based on a MSI K7N2-Delta L MB and while other USB devices are working ok (mouse, usb memory stick) i cannot get the p2500 to work?
Every time i try and install the pad i get a "usb device not recognzed" error.
I have checked the device manager and it says the following:
standard enhanced pci to usb host controller
standard open HCD usb host controller
standard open HCD usb host controller
unknown device (but no yellow exclamation mark)
USB root hub
USB root hub
USB root hub
The unknown device must be the pad!!?
When i try and install the pad using the setup program, it gets to the stage were you are meant to plug the pad in but when i plug it in nothing happens except the error message again?
The funny thing is, it was working to start with but i must have changed something in the bios which has stopped it working?
Question 2
When i run the live update program that came with the MB CD i keep getting a 404 page when trying to run through the installation process? Could it be because
i have a hardware firewall router running or my software firewall?
Is their a Safe alternative to running this program?
Any suggestions
cheers
i have winxp pro with sp1Hi,
Have you tried Saitek's Forum. There are known issues with some XP installs and the Saitek P2500. I know this because I've got one!
Also on Microsoft's "Windows Update" site, Saitek controller drivers have been added recently have you installed these?
There are also a new set of Saitek P2500 Beta drivers doing the rounds - you can find these in the "Announcement" section of Saitek's Forum.
You could also try swapping your USB devices around to see if this makes any difference.
Let us know how you get on!!!

Help with audio book, PLEASE!!
I have purchased an audio book form ITunes and whenever I quit the book and go back it never restarts where I left off.
Help
LarryAre you leaving your iPod off long enough for it to do a soft reset -- apple logo showing?
If that is the case, will loose current bookmark upon automatic soft reset when left off for times that vary by iPod. You can force the bookmark by leaving the audiobook and going to a song.
Otherwise, try a soft reset (hold menu and center button simultaneously until apple logo appears on display).
Just to be sure, do a right click, show file to see if m4b extension.
Try downloading some free content from somewhere and see if those bookmark. i.e., http://www.learnoutloud.com/Free-Audio-Video/Biography/Autobiography/The-Autobio graphy-of-Benjamin-Franklin/18190
be sure to chose mp4 download of this Franklin autobiography
All else fails, a hard reset.

Help with Audio for Premiere Project
Working on a lengthy project and need some help with audio which is not my specialty!
I am recording using a Sony EX1r and a wireless lav mic, OK. Here is what is happening.
When I import the clip into project I get Audio from the left speaker. If I burn a DVD and playback on home player with surround sound, I get audio out of just the left speaker which makes sense. SO I go to Premier and use "Fill Left" which fixes the audio on my computer and get sound from left and right speakers. The odd thing is that when I play this version back from DVD on the surround sound system, the audio now only comes from the CENTER speaker. I dont get anything out of left OR the right speaker so it sounds hollow.
I am sure I am missing something obvious so please be kind.
Is there an easy way to get my audio to come out of Left, Center, and Right speakers (and rear for that matter) ???
Thank you
TedBill,
The DVD player is a Sony BluRay and the receiver is an Onkyo AV receiver HT-R380.
My thinking is that it is something that I am doing wrong inside Premiere vs something that the DVD player or receiver is doing. My final product will need to play on a variety of DVD players so I need to get it right.
It just seems odd that my default output DVD provides sound to the left speaker but then removes it when I fill Left.
Am I setting up my audio tracks wrong? Or should I being doing something with a 5.1 track???
Thanks

Help with access control please
So I'm trying to set up my brother's PSP to the wirless network through MAC address timed access. What I want to do is make it so that he can only access it through certain times in the day. I'm having troubles with actually getting it to work. Everytime I set it up, the PSP only show's up as a DHCP client and not a Wireless client. I tried the option panel with the add wireless clients through the first try access. Could I get some help with this issue please? Thanks!
Just to calm your fears... There is no conspiracy. If someone had an answer or a suggestion they would post it.

Please help with audio problems, thanks!
Hi, I'm relatively new to DVD studio Pro and so far the manual has been useful but i've run into some sound related problems. I'm a composer/sound designer and this DVD is to be my reel so these are fairly integral issues to its success.
First, I want to add a sound effect to each of the roll over states, so one sound for the "over" and one sound for the "down" state. Currently i can only add audio as the backing track for each menu.
Second, whilst most of the items on the dvd are movies that include my music, I also want to have a page purely of audio tracks which play when pressed without changing the page. How can i do this? The only DVD i've seen this done on is "The Thin Red Line" extras, promoting the soundtrack to the film.
Thanks.Welcome to the forum/discussions CC!
Sorry to have to inform you, but unfortunately layered menus aren't supporterd with audio in DVDSP, and technically what you're attempting is a layered menu-type function - although it just may be possible with scripts, I doubt it.
Your second request can be done however and there's several ways to go about doing it.
I like DVD@ccess but others would recommend a method of simply placing the audio files in the built file of the DVD making them accessible to users.
Another method I could suggest is to make a menu page exactly like the one you want to look the same and have the song you'd like to play as the music track for that duplicated-menu in question - set the target of the link for the song in the menu to go to the menu that has that song as the music track. Repeat that for the number of songs you'd like to have this feature. -
Please can someone help with this exam question I have. I have no idea about it I have been looking through loads of website and class documentation but I still have no answer.
Please can someone explain this to me thanks
Consider the following code:
Import java.util.hashmap;
Import java.util.map;
Public myClass {
Private Map <Integer, Object> myMap = New HashMap <Integer, Object> ();
Public void addStuff(int id, Object Stuff) {
myMap.add(new Integer(id), stuff);
Public Map getMyMap() {
Return myMap;
Why is myMap declared as a Map and not a HashMap?It's called programming against the interface.
The code using myMap doesn't need to know that it's a HashMap, but only needs to know that it's a Map (Map is an interface that HashMap implements, so every HashMap is-a Map).
Since that knowledge is not required it's better not to give it away.
If at some point we decide that HashMap is not the best choice here we can easily change it to any other Map implementation (such as TreeMap for example) and only need to change that one line. -
I am a novice and have just completed my first animated movie. I need help with action script.
The movie is currently looped and I have created and invisible button the size of the frame with the intention that a user can click on the movie image to stop it and on second click continue the movie from where it stopped.
I have used the AS event handler method to stop the movie. I have tested it and it works. But I cannot figure suitable code to restart the movie.
Two questions;
1. am I going about the task the right way? (should I use two buttons, one stop, one start)?
2. if my approach is feasible, can anyone give me the correct AS to re-start the movie and put me out of my misery please?you can use the following after changing "yourbutton" and "yourmovieclip" to use suitable instance names:
yourbutton.onRelease=function(){
if(!this.toggle){
yourmovieclip.stop();
} else {
yourmovieclip.play();
this.toggle=!this.toggle; -
I bought and downloaded an audio book from itunes, to my computer. How do i get it on my ipod touch? I tried to synic it it showes up on my ipod but it won't play and I can't do anything with it. Please help........
Take another look. The Aldoblog isn't really complicated. The summary of items to note
- You can reduce your file size by going to preferences/advanced/import and changing to 32kps (more details in the blog). Not necessary, but will save you lots of space.
- You want to joint the cd tracks to limit the number of files. Highlight all the tracks, and select join tracks from the advanced menu. You do this each time you import a disk, and end up with one track for each CD.
- Once you've got all your disks read in, then select the tracks to get info (you can right click). Under options, select "remember playback position". That way when you only have to remember which disk you last played.
I create a playlist for each audio book. -
Help with Audio Device Playback
Hoping someone out there can help. Before I updated to iTunes 7, I played back all of my iTunes music through some studio monitors connected to a Digidesign Mbox audio interface. Since upgrading, I cannot get clean audio using this device. When I select "Digidesign Mbox: Chan 1-2" as the default sound playback device in my QuckTime preferences, playing a song in iTunes gives me a garbled sound--almost sounds like a CD that's skipping. Can anybody help with a solution? I hate having to listen to my tunes through two tiny cheap computer speakers!
Thanks in advance,
MikeI have the same problem. I get the garbled "Skipping" sound when I use the new version of iTunes. The only way I have to get around it is an old version of iTunes 6 I have saved - it has the same version of Quick Time Attached that was good (then) and should work with the WaveDriver. I have an MBOX 2 and it sounds GREAT.
It really is bad that Apple has this "New, Great" iTunes but it won't work with the existing hardware. I can go from my Sound Card out to my Monitors, but the sound quality is bad. And it is so much easier to just use the MBOX volume adjuster - it is very handy.
Apple, please fix this problem. I want to download DRM free music but iTunes 7.2 does not work with MBOX 2.

Hi, i really need some help with my pictures, I've only got a very basic understanding of how my phone works and have somehow put a load of albums on my phone when i plugged it into the computer-I want to delete some of them off the phone but cannot work out how to do it, when i plug my phone in i can find the photo tab but cannot actually see the pictures and can't see any delete button!!! Please can someone help me, basic explanations would be gratefully recieved xxxx
The photo sync is one way: computer to phone. To remove photos, synced to your phone, remove the check marks next to the albums/folders under the photos tab in itunes & hit the apply/sync button. They will be removed from your phone. You cannot delete photos that were synced to your phone, directly on your phone. The easiest way to manage photos synced to your phone is to create albums or folders on your computer. Move whatever photos you want on your phone into these albums/folders & then select them under the photos tab in itunes to sync to your phone. You can then remove or add photos to these various albums/folders on your computer & the itunes sync process will update your phone every time you sync.
