How do I fix bad Quality audio recording in Captivate 4

I am having trouble recording decent quality audio in Captivate 4.
What is happening is after I do the screen and audio recording when I play it back the audio is choppy.
It also kind of sounds like the audio is quickly echoed and then clipped.
Finally this clipping and choppiness seems random when it happens.
I tested this by recording 5 minutes of the demonstration (which recorded with only 1 glitch in the beginning).
When  I just recorded the second half when I played it back in Captivate it  was very choppy again throughout the audio making the complete session  unusable.
I am doing full motion recording of an application at 1024x768. I have tried all audio recording bitrates and have even gone up to 128kbps 16bit mp3.
I am using a high quality Audio-Technica AT2020 USB microphone.
I am running Windows Vista Service pack 2 fully updated with 4GB of memory on an Intel xeon W3503 2.4Ghz in 64 bit mode.
I have installed the latest patch update http://www.adobe.com/support/captivate/downloads.html 4.4.0.1 hoping that it waould solve the audio bugs to no avail.
Please let me know what else I may need to do to get Captivate 4 working like it should.
Are there any other settings or tests I should perform to get audio recording working.
Why would I even want to pay for Captivate 5 if Captivate 4 has worked so randomly for me.
Using 3rd party software like Audacity and even Adobe Soundbooth seems absurd when Captivate has audio recording built in.
For the time being I have gone back to Camtasia on another system because it actually seems to work but need to get Captivate working on my own system.

Try "Rapid Recorder" from store....it works well.

  • Export to quicktime from final cut producing bad quality audio

    Hello
    In exporting out quicktimes form the timeline in final cut I'm experiencing bad quality audio. Its almost like a fussing or noise in the background. I have tried to export the same quicktimes from a new sequence and only after a couple of attempts managed to get a quicktime with clear audio. I found the only way around this is to export out the audio as a separate aiff file which produces a clear audio file. This is not ideal as it creates more work when in a rush.
    Anyone have any ideas how to rectify this?
    Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
    thanks in adavence

    The sound is perfect in fcp.
    I originally export from fcp using export quicktime movie, thats what causes the problem, which is why I had to resort to exporting the audio file as a separate file to the quicktime as an aiff which solves the problem. But it seem sa shame to have to export the picture and audio separately then use quicktime to marry the 2 together , then to re-export just so you cant have the files as one movie.
    I just dont get what its doing.
    Thanks for taking a look. I apprechiate it.

    It is not possible to burn a high-quality audio CD in any version of iTunes.
    iTunes burning is designed for quick, convenient burns directly from a playlist.
    iTunes does not do the proper volume normalization or silence suppression that is required for a high-quality finished product.
    If you are striving for quality, you can consider dedicated burning programs such as Toast, Nero, or Roxio.

  • How do you fix bad blocks on an external hard drive without using disk utility

    so basically does anyone know how to fix bad blocks on a external hard drive without using disk utlility please

    Oh...if you have data you are trying to save then its best to try cloning the drive to another one, which should save its data as-is to another drive. Hopefully you can do so without there being hangups around the bad blocks and keep at least most of your data intact. I'd recommend you try using Carbon Copy Cloner to do this, but you will need a secondary drive that is at least the size of the data on the problematic drive.

  • Stereo Audio recording in Captivate 6?

    Hi, I am having problems with capturing stereo audio in sync with the video, in Captivate 6.  I am making training videos for music software and have looped back the audio from the programme into Captivate, in order to record it's output.  It monitors fine, but it looks as though Captivate is only recording the audio in mono - and there are no settings to change this.  Is this the case?  I really need stereo sound on the input, otherwise functions in the programme cannot be demonstrated correctly.  I have looked through the forums and it would seem that stereo recording was definitely included in earlier versions (as it caused some users the opposite problem of sound from a microphone only appearing on one side).  I am using Captivate version 6 on Windows 7.  Please can you help me?  Cheers, Mike

    Hi Michael,
    There is no option to select the audio recording as stereo or mono at time of recording.
    Can you tell me that have you installed captivate as a part of suite or it is a stand alone Product?
    If you have installed Captivate as a part of E-learning suite there is a software called as Adobe Auditon which also gets installed as a part of suite , which can serve your Purpose , It can record as stereo as well as mono. and you can directly insert the audio generated from this software in Captivate.
    And In Captivate also there is an option in Edit > Prefrences>Publish settings.
    You can uncheck the Publish as Mono option while Publishing and check if it works for you.
    Please check the screenshot
    Thanks and Regards

  • Any suggestions on how to fix loud interview audio recorded in a bar?

    we recorded an interview at a bar with a lav mic, however the background noise is still very loud and abrasive. the background and the interviewee are all recorded on the same track, unfortunately.
    so far, i've reduced noise by sampling some pure background noise and then removing it using the "reduce noise" tool in soundtrack pro. I've also used "normalize" to lower the levels in general to -12 db.
    are there any other magic tools i can use to separate my subject more from the background noise?

  • Bad quality audio and video with Skype

    Hi,
    while making a Skype video call via WiFi using my Z1 Compact my conversion partner complained about the bad audio (very low) and video (poor resolution) quality. I than changed to IPhone 4s from my wife and my conversion partner said the quality was much better.
    As I was using the same network the problem cannot lay on the connection.
    Is there a known sw bug using Skype on the Z1 Compact?
    My skype version: 4.9.0.45564.

    If you only have these issues regarding video and audio quality when using Skype then you would be best to speak with the developer of that application as they would keep their own records of such issues.

  • TS2771 bad quality audio coming through headphones. Brand new headphones and they work in other headphone ports.

    just bought some new headphines. the quality of the audi through them is gargly and ver ver distoted. they are nice skullcandy headphones. i can get good sound when i push in the headphons really hard to the jack. i treid another hack on my phone and the sound is very nice. the problem is on my ipod.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • How do i fix the skipping audio on itunes 10.7. after update

    After updating itunes to 10.7 all of my music will randomly skip or become choppy. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how this can be fixed ?

    If you run Windows Media Player does it have those tracks? WMP is a likely candidate and may have moved the tracks where it wants them to be. If so I can offer some advice on how to get WMP to leave your iTunes library alone and some scripts to repair the damage.

    WHY? PLEASE HELP ME

    go to settings > general > usage > music app under the storage section > slide across the bar that says 'photo library' and a red delete button will appear
    you can also plug the device into your computer with itunes, go to the photos tab at the top center and uncheck where it says 'sync photos.' then press 'apply' in the bottom right corner. this will erase the photos that were synced to your phone from the computer
