How do I fix audio drift?

I have two audio clips – one clip has slight drift. Is it possible to sync the two clips perfectly in either Soundtrack Pro or FCP? How? Thanks.

If you double click a file and open it up in the Audio Editor, select the whole file and then under the +Process Menu+ select *Time Stretch* you can change the duration in any unit from Seconds to Frames to Samples . . . so you have nearly infinite resolution.
The problem is how much to change it. It looks like your problem is between two sources running on two different clocks (probably both internal). You're probably going to be stuck with trial and error. Worse than that is that with inexpensive clocking devices they could actually be changing over the course of the recording, or day.
Unless both recordings start and stop at exactly the same time - unlikely. In that case you could measure the length of the two recordings in the inspector window and apply Time Stretch to one to make it the same length as the other.
Solutions would be to sync the two recording devices to a single clock source. or the old fashioned method of having a 2pop or clapper at the beginning and end of recordings.

How do I fix audio in an iMovie video?

I'm trying to finalize a video from iMovie, but whenever I finalize it, no matter what media I use, the sound for the video clips in my movie are always off. But on iMovie, the videos and audio work fine. How can I fix this??

It is happening on the timeline and when I burned the DVD it also happened on the DVD. However, I tested to see if it was the camera by linking the camera to the TV and everything was in sync...so it is not the camera.
It is interesting that when I captured the video in one shot, most of the video was out of sync with the background taping sounds.
I may have done a workaround. I have since captured the video in chunks and found that when I do that the alignment of video and all sound are OK except for a couple of sections of the video.
It appears that when captured all at once, the sections that are out of sync, pollute the remaining parts of the video. It sounds strange, but that it all I can come up with as a rationale. Why? I have no idea.

How to debug / fix audio skipping

Hi,
My music in iTunes will sometimes skip so badly that I cannot listen to it. I don't see any way in iTunes to debug this problem.
In vlc, I also get skips, and the messages in the console there say:
main warning: output date isn't PTS date, requesting resampling (-42976)
main warning: buffer is 42978 in advance, triggering downsampling
main debug: audio output is too slow (2719665), trashing 46440us
main debug: audio output is too slow (2673377), trashing 46440us
main debug: audio output is too slow (2626992), trashing 46440us

main debug: audio output is too slow (2534210), trashing 46440us
main debug: audio output is too slow (2487816), trashing 46440us
I think the problem is at a driver level, but I don't know. Can someone help point me in a good direction for fixing this?
Thanks

MOH Fixed Audio-Recognizing MOH-USB-Audio on 7835

I am trying to set up a Cisco MOH-USB-Audio card (which is actually a C-Media UTA3100).
On a MCS7825 with OS 2000.4.4aSR8 this is no problem.With a MCS7835 and same OS it doesn't work.
It displays the card in Hardware-Device manager.
But in Control Panel-Sounds&Multimedia-Audio-Sound Recording-Preferred Device I get no recording Devices.
So it seems to be platform dependant.
Does anyone have an idea how to get it to work on the MCS7835 ?

How do I fix my audio/video in iChat 4.0.9? it has worked perfectly until last night.

How do I fix my audio/video in iChat 4.0.9? it has worked perfectly until last night. I have been having video calls iChat with my granddaughter for 4 weeks. All of a sudden last night I wasn't able to complete the video/audio. We were able to iChat with writing. The message I got was to go to connection doctor.
The error log -
2011-04-24 19:33:43 -0400: No data has been received for the last 10 seconds.
Audio channel info: local machine using 10.0.1.2:16402, expecting remote machine to send to 69.138.244.124:58521
Video channel info: local machine using 10.0.1.2:16402, expecting remote machine to send to 69.138.244.124:58521
Every time we tried to connect I got the same error message.
I use an airport extreme - my granddaughter has some kind of wifi - but the error was on my side not hers as she connected to her friends.
Please help.
Thank you.

Hi - I have a cable modem from comcast.
I am not sure I understand all your questions, suggestions - so I will copy what I have when I go into the airport utility under internet.
Do you have four tabs (You may have less) I HAVE 4 TABS
In the First tab what does it read at the Bottom ? AT THE BOTTOM OF THE FIRST TAB (INTERNET CONNECTION) IT DOES SAY "SHARE A PUBLIC IP" WHEN I LOOK AT THAT SETTING - I COULD CLICK INSTEAD BRIDGE MODE OFF, OR DISTRIBUTE A RANGE OF IP ADDRESSES. BUT FOR NOW THE ONE THAT IT IS ON IS THE SHARE A PUBLIC IP.
"Share a Public IP" ?
Or "Bridge (Off) Mode" ?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHERE TO LOOK FOR THE INFO BELOW. I ALSO HAVE UNDER THE INTERNET CONNECTION TAB - CONNECT USING ETHERNET AND ETHERNET WAN PORT AUTOMATIC (DEFAULT)
THE 2ND TAB IS TCP/IP AND THERE IT LISTS CONFIGURE IPv4: USING DHCP
IP ADDRESS: 69.138.244.124
SUBNET MASK 255.255.248.0
ROUTER ADDRESS 69.138.240.1
DNS SERVER 68.87.73.246 AND 68.87.71.230 (THESE ARE FILLED IN THE BOXES AND NOT CHANGEABLE.
THE 3RD TAB IS DHCP
DHCP BEGINNING ADDRESS 10.0 .1 .2
DHCP ENDING ADDRESS 10.0.1.200
DHCP LEASE IS 1 THEN DAY
4TH TAB NAT
CHECKED IS ENABLE NAT PORT MAPPING PROTOCOL
I HAVE BEEN USING THIS AIRPORT EXTREME FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR.
THE ONLY DIFFERENT ISSUE IS THAT I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AND USED MY DAUGHTER'S AIRPORT EXTREME LAST WEEK. I HAVE NO IDEA ANY OF THAT INFO - BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE AIRPORT EXTREME LISTED IN THE UTILITY IS THE ONE AT MY HOME THAT I AM WITH NOW.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO TRY TO HELP ME. I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

Between that drop down and the tabs should be the info on how it connects to the Modem.
It may list that Puiblic IP.
It may list another LAN IP (one from the Modem)
Does it start 192.168....
Or 172.16 (or up to 172.32....)
Or possibly another 10.... number ?
If the modem is issuing IPs to the LAN there are two things that can effect things
One is the fact the computer gets two IPs (even though the mac can only display one)
And If you used Port Forwarding in the Modem the Place (IP/Computer or device) that it was pointing to may not be the Airport Base Station any more.
