How can I pause an action while recording so I can...

Hi all,
I have made many actions before but I do not know how to do this. Ok I want to make an action which will unlock the background layer then duplicate that layer and add adjustment mask to the new layer, I have gotten all this done. But on the final stage of the action I want to open Shadow/Highlight adjustment window; now at this point I want the playing action to stop while I adjust the S/H then continue after I hit OK. I have tried inserting stop into the recording but that does not work. Is there any way to do this? I am working with PS CS2 on a Mac G5. Thanks for any help!

To the left of the listing of »Shadows/Highlights« in the Actions Panel is a field, which can be toggled: »Toggle dialog on/off«
If You hit that it should turn into a little symbol of a dialog-window (I guess) and on subsequently running that Action You should be able to do edits in the dialog-panel and have the Action resume on hitting Enter.

  • How to fix the delay problem while recording? Can't set the Latency to 0. Win7, CS6,Realtek,C03u Mic

    I am using Win7, with CS6, Realtek soundcard and Samson C03U microphone.
    There is a problem that's really been bothering me. When I record songs the recorded audio always comes 0.1 seconds after where it's supposed to be and I need to fix the problem every time. How to fix the delay problem while recording? I can't set the Latency to zero. The minimum is 30ms and I still get an obvious delay.
    I saw some previous discussions saying that installing ASIO would help. Is it gonna work on my PC?
    Thank you in advance guys.

    You probably should look at a more 'serious' audio interface rather than the Realtek
    Yes ASIO drivers are the way to go
    If you want zero latency you need to monitor via your audio hardware (hence the 'serious' audio interface suggestion)
    There are a heap of reasonable audio interfaces which will do the job for you that are pretty inexpensive and I'm sure that someone will jump in with a suggestion

  • I'm trying to record audio into my iPad2 using GarageBand and an iRig, but I can't monitor my tracks at the same time as recording, meaning if I lay down a drum track and attempt to record guitar, I can't hear the drums while recording. Thoughts?

    I'm trying to record audio into my iPad2 using GarageBand and an iRig, but I can't monitor my tracks at the same time as recording, meaning if I lay down a drum track and attempt to record guitar, I can't hear the drums while recording. Thoughts?

    Hi, I have this exact same problem. I haven't been using an iRig, just a cheap USB-jack cable. I managed to do this with the first cable I bought, but since it broke I've been unable to find a replacement that allows me to hear the drums while recording. DId you manage to get over this issue? If so I would really like to know how. Thanks and best wishes.

    Hi when i switch on the macc 41 files open at once can not open any files while this is happing can still use AI & PS and the internet any help thanks...

    Are you wanting to stop the 41 files from opening at once or is this intentional? At what point do they open when you power on the mac or when you boot Illustrator? What OS version are you using?
    If you can  answer the questions above can provide better advice, but you may be running into something similar:

  • How to Have Effects Turned on WHILE Recording

    I want to use Audtion as a live multi-track audio recorder for some multi-cam video work (5 talking heads on lavs).  I want to record with certain effects (compression, limiter, etc.) on WHILE recording--NOT applied to the tracks AFTER recording.  Is this possible? 
    I can only seem to be able to apply effects to tracks AFTER recording has already occured.

    Hmm... RANT!

    Finally, regarding SteveG's slur against TV sound people, I resemble that remark.  Yes, we DID overdo compression but there were some technical reasons for this.  For example, when we converted to satellites for distribution, we quickly found that the satellite system itself would overload slightly below +12dBu on the input.  Not only did this sound bad, the satellite operator would threaten to throw us off (due to interference with adjacent users) if we hit this level--so everything we did had a brick wall limiter above +8dBu.  However, this was still AFTER the production chain, not on the input.  When doing location sound, although I'd leave the limiter on in the camera--but I'd set my gain staging so this was only a last-resort stopgap, not something being relied on to control levels.
    It wasn't a slur against the people doing it - it was against TV sound, which, for the reasons you state, generally ends up as crap. It's also worth noting that it doesn't really stand a chance, right from the outset. For some strange reason, pictures always seem to come first. It's ludicrous; turn the picture off and listen to the sound, and you'll still have some sort of an idea what's going on. Turn the sound off though, and you generally have absolutely no idea at all! So which is really more important? Getting some presenter's ugly fizzog on the screen, or hearing what they're saying (I have to be careful here, as I might trip up my own argument...) So in some instances, sound ops don't have a lot of choice.
    But overall, standards are slipping even further. Despite all of this legislation from the EBU, broadcasters still can't normalize levels between programmes. At present, the BBC is a particularly bad offender. It's not just compression, it's everything. I've recently watched orchestras being miced up, with some horror - bloody mics everywhere. End result doesn't sound like an orchesta at all - it sounds like a slightly sophisticated big band. So when I go and stick my SoundField (or even a Decca Tree) over an orchestra, people are amazed - suddenly it sounds like an orchestra again! I've asked some of the badly-trained monkeys why they do it like this, and have yet to recieve a satisfactory answer.
    But in overall terms I don't care about compression on general TV output - it's only moving wallpaper, and you don't want to have to keep changing the levels, so from that POV it's a good thing; it's 98% rubbish anyway. But it does mean that on better programmes where they compress less - like Top Gear - you have to turn up the volume to listen to it, and be prepared to be deafened occasionally. That's fine, but at the end of the transmission you have to remember to turn the volume down again pretty quick...

  • Can we take photos still while recording videos on iphone 4s on ios 6??

    Can we take photos while recording videos on iphone 4s using ios 6??

    1. Open the camera app.
    2. Move the slider from in the bottom right from photo to video.
    3. Begin recording your video.
    4. While your video is recording, tap the camera icon in the upper right to take a photo.
    5. You'll see the shutter close on your screen each time you snap a photo.
    6. Your photos will be saved to your camera roll.
    Edit:
    Just noticed you have a 4S...iPhone 5 only, sorry.

  • Pause button problem while recording audio

    Someone talked about that problem on another post but I think
    that problem deserve a post for it...
    We have a probleme when using the pause button while
    recording audio on a slide.
    If we hit the pause button, it completely deletes all
    previous recording in the slide.
    If someone have a long text to read for a slide he cannot
    take a break and think if everything is ok. Our clients are
    disappointed and calls this function.
    Do you have an idea when that problem will be solved ?
    Thank

    Hi Edji, I could not agree more. We reported this to Adobe
    months ago and it has been acknowledged, but no information will be
    made availlable about any fix release date. We have over 500 staff
    users making recordings using Presenter and have trained the
    majority on version 6. Imagine the number of supports calls we have
    had to deal with when suddenly the pause button deletes all
    previous slide recordings in version 7.
    Depsite many attampts to get a resolution for this we have
    had nothing aside from the suggestion above which certainly does
    not fix the issue. It is a significant bug in the program that has
    caused us endless hours of support work.
    We are quite dissappointed at present with the lack of
    reponse to the need for a fix and are currently evaluating a number
    of other products.
    Pityful but true.

  • Audigy 4/how do i preview track 1 while recording track 2. tha

    good day, i just bought a audigy 4 (not the special edidtion with remote, etc..
    my problem is when i open my production software (digital recorder--------
    say i record the drums on track in multi rack view. when i unarm track and arm track 2 to say record a piano. Then when i press play to hear track 2 it plays the drums i recorded on track . the drums on track record on all my tracks. i had this problem with the soundcard that came with my pc, i think somebody said something about it was pretty cheap and didn't come with preview or something...........anyways i just bought a Soundblaster Audigy 4, well it's far from top of the line but it's a big upgrade for me, any know how i can fix this problem of track being recorded on all the tracks. It's important for me to be able to listen to previously recorded tracks while playing a new .
    so does anybody know how and if Audigy 4 can do this? this is essential, i bought this soundcard for i could go from my hardware digital recorder to software digital recorder. if there's a way can someone give me exact instructions on how to do this.
    'm using audigy 4 soundcard, 2.53 ghz intel celron, 40gb hard dri've, 52 mb of ram, and the recorders i'm using are cakewalk guitar pro and adobe audition. thanks

    Just stop using "What U Hear" as a recording source. If you're using ASIO, the ASIO Mix L works like "What U Hear".
    As recording source, use microphone for microphone and line-in (or AnalogMix()) for line-in sources.
    For monitoring, there is a checkbox behind a tiny red plus sign in CT Surround Mixer (or behind advanced button in windows audio I/O controls) you may need to set (this setting and recording source selection from ct surround mixre/windows recording controls has no affect when you're using ASIO device driver mode in software).

  • Can we pause during a video recording?

    I had wonder that if that's possible for any apple device that we could pause during our recording usually like how the samsung devices, is there gonna be an update for Apple for that?

    Some FTP clients will allow you to do this with files you are uploading to the internet, and some have ways to copy files to and from your local hard drive, so in theory, I guess it's possible this could be done, assuming you want to start a file copy, stop or suspend it, then re-start it again later.
    Try using Forklift.

  • How to Hear Metronome in Headphones While Recording Through Audio Interface - Help!

    Hey everybody,
    So I've been trying to work through this problem for 3+ hours now and I'm stumped. It's very frustrating as it is such a simple problem. Right now I'm recording acoustic guitar through an audio interface - guitar sound goes to microphone, microphone goes to interface, interface goes to audio jack in Macbook. Pretty simple setup. I can even insert a splitter into the audio jack on the Macbook which will allow me to hear what I am playing through the interface in my headphones, which is what I wanted. However, when I hit record and the metronome starts playing, as I want it to, I can't get the metronome to play through my headphones - they will only play through the speakers. How can I get around this? Is it even possible, or do I need an audio to USB interface so I can have a set audio in (through the USB) and a set audio out (through the audio port)? Again, your help would be much appreciated as I am completely stumped.
    Cheers!

    In Logic Pro 9 (and X) you can assign different devices to the In- and Output, so I don't understand why you wouldn't be able to get sound in through the microphone and out through the headphones. You can even combine the ouputs into a Multi-Output device to send the same sound simultaneously to all outputs.
    You can also aggregate all your in- and outputs into an Aggregate Device, then you can use any of your outputs and any of your inputs inside the same Logic project (on the channel strips).
    Setup in Audio MIDI Setup (separate app, part of any OS X install, can be found in the Applications>Utilities folder)
    Setup in Logic Pro>Preferences>Audio>Devices (apart from colorscheme, it's the same in LP 9 and LP X)
