Input Monitoring, and Audio Objects- help?

Hi!
First part:
Input Monitoring. I am used to Input Monitoring (live signal) overriding printed material (regions). I thought that if I had Auto Input Monitoring disabled, and if I would engage Input Monitoring on an Audio Track, ONLY the Live input would pass; any regions on the track would not sound...put simply, engage Input Monitor flicks a switch from regions to Live Input. But, it does not. The ONLY ways I have found to have JUST the live signal is to mute all regions, or actually record on the track. How SHOULD it work?
Audio Objects and Arrange tracks:
If I have 3 audio tracks in the Arrange window, and I assign them all to say, Audio Object 1; why do the Arrange window audio tracks not operate independently? If I solo one, all three solo. If I mute one, they all do. Even worse, if I Rec enable one, all three do!
I thought that Arrange window Audio tracks were independent, and operated as such. Assign tracks to multiple Audio Objects, or to the same, it did not matter. Part of the brilliance of it (I thought, initially) was how you could have different "versions" of a track feeding a single Object, and then priority would determine what actually plays back; but that is not how it works? Part of my delusion, it seems, was that when you mute or solo a track in the Arrange, there is a pause, and if I then do so in the Mixer it is much, much faster, which is due to the Arrange tracks being different...or not? Seems the answer to that incurs a penalty in one case, but not another, and that makes NO sense. Where did I go wrong?
Sorry for the wicked long post, but I see these both as related, and I would love to know why this stuff looks incredibly flexable and powerful on paper, but in practice, it is nothing short of frustrating, with very little benefit over other apps...maybe worse than some other apps...

Hi!
Thx for the reply! I seem to be find the odd questions...
Sampleconstruct wrote:
Click on the track with the regions you want to solo/mute->all regions in that track get selected->use the keycommands for Solo (S by default) and Mute (M by default). Then only the highlighted regions in that track will play/mute
That works well, and I could handle using it as a workflow. But, when one wants to retain individual mute states of specific regions on that track, this would alter that when unmuting. The tip below would be a viable alternative, but...
Sampleconstruct wrote:
Also have you tried the two different modes for Solo/Mute which can be set in Logic Audio Prefs? "CPU save mode" makes the tracks assigned to the same Audio object independent from each other - "Fast"-mode makes them all dependent, so try CPU save mode.
That I did not realize. However, if I rec or input enable, no matter what ALL Arrange tracks assigned to the same Audio Object rec/input enable. Any way to stop that that? Or is that just an "idiot-synchrocy" of Logic 8? (coulda sworn 7 did not do that?) Take recording is cool, but sometimes I might want to have alternates on a seperate track. It seems to defy the reasoning behind addressing Audio Objects...

AE CC loses connection with second monitor and audio mixer (BLACKMAGIC) when switching to desktop

specifications:
Mac OsX 10.7.5
AE cc (part of creative cloud, up-to-date) NOT TRIAL VERSION
software for connecting monitor and adui mix panel: Blackmagic Desktop Video 10.0
second monitor: Sony Trimaster EL PVM 2541
audio mix panel: Behringer Xenyx x1204USB audio mixer
Blackmagic connects the Sony screen + Behringer Xenyx x1204USB audio mixer to the mac computer.
the problem:
When working in after effects, we link the program to show the video preview on the second screen (the sony one)
While the work area is still visible on the Mac screen.
The audio is also regulated through Blackmagic so we can mix on the xenyx mix panel.
Everything works fine as long as we stay in after effects.
If, for a brief moment, even a second, we swhitch to the desktop, or an other program (internet, acrobat reader, etc) After effects looses the connection to Blackmagic (forgets it exists). So we suddenly have no audio, or no longer a seperate video preview image.
The option to select Blackmagic in the dropdown menu is also gone.
If we restart After effects though, it's connected again.
Any ideas?
I added two screenshots to clarify.
The screenshots is when it does work, and after effects still recognizes blackmagic.
Cheers,
Andreas

When this happens, open Activity Monitor. Is Adobe QT32 Server running? That is required for QuickTime video preview. If it is not running, this is the troubleshooting you want to do:

In the next update to After Effects CC, the old QuickTime video preview (on Mac; DirectShow video preview on Windows) is being replaced by Mercury Transmit:

Middleware and Adapter Object help needed

Hi all,
We are trying to replicate business agreements from CRM to contract accounts in our R/3 IS-U system. We've followed the various cookbooks and guidelines but have so far been unsuccessful. For object BUAG_MAIN, is an adapter object needed? If so, we are unable to find one in R3AC1.
If we check the BDoc message, we are getting two Technical errors after creating the business agreement:
1. "Outbound call for BDoc type BUAG_MAIN to adapter module CRM_UPLOAD_TO_OLTP failed."
2. "Service that caused the error: SMW3_OUTBOUNDADP_CALLADAPTERS"
Any ideas? Points will be awarded for helpful responses. Thanks in advance.

So in R3AC1 there is a button to show inactive adapter objects. Hitting this showed BUAG_MAIN. After that, we opened BUAG_MAIN and activated the object. This resulted in a couple of changes that we clicked through. We then were able to do an initial load of the business agreements and replications of newly created ones happened thereafter.

Monitoring and recording using my audio interface

I am new to the logic express program. When I try to record with my audio interface (whether mic or instrument), do I always have to go to the "Device Input" settings and swithc the input to my interface? Even when I do that, the bars move indicating sound, but I cant hear it...dont know what I am doing wrong?
So basically, right now, I record without being able to monitor, then when I want to hear it, I have to switch the device input back from the interface to the default device?
It seems I am making this harder than it is.
Thanks for the help.

I am having the same problem (using a presonus firepod). Tried the aggregate solution but it is not working.
Steps I took: Aggregate Device Editor > selected firepod and built-in output. Then in Audio Midi setup selected aggregate device as default input. In Logic Ex 8, preferences>audio>enabled core audio and selected aggregate device as the driver. Created a new track, tried using input monitoring and the record button. I can see the levels go up and down, so there is signal, but no sound for me to hear. The inputs and outputs for the track are input 1 outputs 1&2.
So am I doing something wrong?
Thanks guys.

Help...cannot get audio input monitoring t work

when punching in..I cannot hear audio before and after punch. Please help!!!

Try deactivating Input monitoring so you'll hear the track before and after the punch - like that you're actually listening "post tape". If you have an external Audio Interface/Mixer with monitoring capabilities use that instead.

What's the difference between an audio INPUT and AUX object?

Can someone explain the difference between an audio INPUT and AUX object? They both seems to do pretty much the same thing ... when would you use 1 over the other?

revDave:
Suppose you're recording a guitar track and you want to add a very gentle compressor to avoid overload during the rec process. you need an audio input channel with a compressor inserted. this way, your guitar will be recorded with the compressor processed. If you use audio and midi gear and want to bounce your material, put all your midi audio in an audio input channel.This way, you don't have to use a real audio channel to record them. You can hear them, even use some plugins, and have them bounced with your audio channels.
Now, suppose you recorded three vocal channels, and want to use an equalizer. You need an aux object to send your vocal channels and use only one eq. This is very useful when you have similar materials recorded in diferent channels (2 guitars, vocals, pete/sax/bone, and so on). Send their outs to an aux object, insert the fx you want, and set the aux object's out to the main out of your project, and it's done.
I hope it helps you.

Dual monitor use audio output for movie and other for MBP

is it possible im watching a movie on one and wated to answer factime call or watch youtube on my mbp and just screamed out my tv speakers.....i want fual monitoring but separate audio any help?

Other alternatives include
I know on mackbooks I've seen firewire used as an input for a Weiss Dac if you're into two channel audio. Do any reiceivers take firewire as an input for hometheater? Has anyone tested Firewire outputs on their W series? I'm told that firewire is sometimes preferable to USB, I'm not sure why this would be, can USB support passthrough of DTS encoded signals?
In the case that firewire works and you Do not have a firewire source, maybe something like this would be of value It converts firewire to digital coaxial s/pdif and allows passthrough of DTS and AC3.
http://www.m-audio.com/images/global/manuals/FireWire-Audiophile_Manual.pdf
As I'm into audio the critical thing here (and what you're paying for when you purchase blue-ray, is maintaining the digital information from the disk in an unconverted form. You want a direct bit pass through, and you want as little jitter introduced to the signal as possible. You most certainly don't want the sound card getting in the way, Digtital to Analog converting and then reverse packaging it up and putting it out over the soundcard digital out. My problem is I'm not familiar enough with computer audio to know how exactly the sounds is transmitted from your blue ray drive to the digital interface you've chosen.
Anyone know why USB digital out would not be a prefered method?

LogicX Rec Problem. I can't hear while recording no matter I turn on Auto Input Monitoring at menu or channel. On certain songs I could thru AUX to REC, my L7/8/9 procedure. Now, inconsistent, not work. Any help?

Logic X Recording Problem
I can't hear (ex.) voice back while recording no matter I turn on Auto Input Monitoring at Record Menu or Channel Strip.
On certain old projects I could when thru AUX to REC, which was my L7/8/9 procedure.
Recording takes place on a consolidated session, all audio tracks with no latency, which actually happens only it can't be heard.
Monitoring is very inconsistent and in fact doesn't work at all. Any help?

Correction: actually "thru AUX to REC channel" is not effective.
It's just that I can input monitor thru an extra AUX channel independently of the REC channel.
Sending the source to be recordered to aux and audio rec at same time.

Logic and audio interface issues. help!

Hey guys
I recently bought a small budget recording studio, My first one so bare with the newbie questions and I'm having diffucties with the setup I believe.
I connected my midi keyboard to my computer that had Midi in/out from the keyboard via USB Midi interface to the computer. That was all cool. The computer was seeing it and in Logic was telling me signals were coming into logic.
I then connected my Edirol audio interface ( FA-66 ) 6in/6out. to the computer via Firewire. Midi setup in utlilities sees the device. And that's good right?
I then used stereo jacks to connect the audio interface to my studio monitors. I played a song in itunes music is coming through the speakers, great!
Now off to the problem, finally. The reason I got the audio capture device is so that I can record Vocals and guitars, but the thing is when I connect my Mic and guitar to the device no sound in coming into logic, eventhough I can play the guitar clean through my monitor speakers. Very strange. I see 6 input/output channels in logic so it sees the edirol. So if i set Input 2 in logic and put the guitar in inputjack 2 the signal doesn't get through.
Am I supposed to intertwine the Midi keyboard and audio interface together? If so how is that done? Can anybody help?
Thanks for baring with the newbie!

Don't go beating yourself up... you'll rob the trolls of their only pleasure.
It's like you said: you're new. We were all new once.
Glad you're up and running... let's hear some music.

9.2 Update killed my audio input monitoring during play!

I can monitor my audio input while I'm stopped, but as soon as I loop and play (not in record mode) it automatically kills monitoring of the signal. YET, I can still record if I need.
This didn't happen until I updated to 9.2.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks!

I got other problems after updating Logic, they occured twice. One was not having 'open recent session' and the other was not having 'incompatible' plugins menu item in Logic AUs. Perhaps this is similar to my problem and the solution was to trash Logic preserences and rebooting. Try it, you don't loose anything that way. I'm not at my mac now but the preferences can be in MacHD/library/Preferences (start with com.apple.logic) or in your user Library/preferences. There are 2 files and I'm not sure which one but if you trash both (without deleting the files, only trash) you can try if it brings the requested feature back. One of the files will reset your settings but if you restore it after the test you will have them back (of course with the 'bug' itself. Later today I will pot you the exact one to throw.

Audio Input Monitoring Problem

Hello,
I am having a problem where I can always hear the signal being passed to the external inputs of my soundcard, regardless of whether or not Software Monitoring is enabled, in fact, Logic doesn't even have to be open! Due to this fact I believe this is an OSX issue, however, since it is effecting Logic I am hoping someone here can assist, as I am at my wits end.
My setup:
Dual 2.5 G5
2gig RAM
OS X 10.4.4
Logic Pro 7.1.1
Emagic AMT8
Emagic a2|6
I have tried reinstalling the a2|6 software thinking the problem may have
been corrupted drivers, but to no avail. I have tried to mess around both in
the Sound Preferences and Audio Midi Setup sections, but no love there
either.
Weak sauce.
Anyway, I'm sure this is something simple and I am just doing something
stupid wrong, but I can't figure it out, and hence, I post to you. Thank you
in advance for your time and consideration.

do you have a external mixer mixerboard ?
or is your source plugged straight into your interface ?
maybe its not software monitoring it might be hardware monitoring so check your mixer or if not check the control panel of your interface because you can use it as a virtual hardware monitoring when you change few settings like...
in the Patch bay of delta 1010LT i can set...
Analog output 1/2 to Monitor Mixer,then i'll set the monitor mixer to settings like ...
Master on full
Software input 1/2 set to full( which is what is coming out of logic or the mac )
Software input 3/4 set to full or off ( which is what sends to my TC Electronics Finalizer 96K)
Analog IN 1/2 and 3/4 set to full ( which is automatically receiving the signals from external source even if i don't open any applications)
S/PDIF also set to full ( this monitors the output of my TC Electronics Finalizer 96K )
so check your interface to make sure none of this is not the problem if you don't want to continuously monitor the input source
using my setup means it bypass the software monitor maybe that what the problem is for you

Quicktime and Audio inputs.

Hi everyone,
thanks for your time.
I need to record some fast videos with my macbook pro and I want to use Quicktime because it is really fast and easy to use.
This is the problem.
When I start to record a new video and I select my "Focusrite Pro 24DSP" as main audio interface, Quicktime records only inputs 1 - 2.
How can I choose other inputs, like 15 - 16 (where it is the loopback function), or simply record the Mix Out?
I need to record my keyboard along with some songs on iTunes.
I tried to go into the audio preference, but I can't do anything for the inputs. I am asking if with another audio interface, like an Apogee duet maybe, I can resolve this problem (I can select which channel to record! 1, 2, 3, 4... or the DAW, or MIX L - R).
I could do this with my windows XP and with a 30$ USB interface (I could select the mix as record input from the audio preferences).
Why can't I do it with a 1500$ Macbook?
I don't want to use Logic Pro for this (it works good): I need a fast video - audio record, but I just have to record the complete mix (L - R), not only 1 - 2 inputs.
I hope that everything is clear!
Thanks for your help,
Marco

I just did my first feed Monday night. I used a video mixer and Mackie board myself. I feed the audio and video(component) into my DSR-20 VCR, which I also use for a tape backup recording. This then feeds the QT Broadcaster. I don't think you can feed anything but a firewire machine or iPhoto camera into Broadcaster. Might work with an USB camera/vcr???
I feed H.264 video, at 320x240 with mono 16 bit audio. Hint... don't do disolves, as they increase the frame rate. simple cuts-only seems to be the best. We also fed keynote slideshow into switcher... carefull there, as it produces saturated colors that will effect the signal... the switcher will think the super saturated video is sync and glitch the video. red is the worst, of course. Next week I am going to use a little proc amp to drop the chroma a bit.

Audio Input Monitoring

I am unable to monitor audio in Logic 8. I can monitor MIDI fine and can also monitor audio in standalone applications such as Amplitube. I can hear the audio played back when i have recorded it, but not in the monitoring mode. I have checked obvious solutions..... stuck.

right. but its not software that is the issue.. its guitars, and mics..
Er... I'm not sure you grokked what I was talking about. Audio interfaces do one of two things, when it comes to monitoring signals you are recording (guitars, mics and stuff).
Either it is doing direct monitoring, where it's using the interface's inbuilt mixer to pass the audio coming in on it's inputs directly to its outputs (and then on to your speakers).
Or we do software monitoring, where the signal comes into it's input, it passes those signals to Logic, which then routes it via Logic's mixer back to the audio interface and on to your speakers.
So if you want to monitor through Logic, Software Monitoring must be turned on in your audio preferences.
signal shows up in interface, i dont think its a hardware problem. hmm.
You haven't answered my question as to whether software monitoring mode is turned on in Logic. it needs to be, otherwise you will not be monitoring through Logic while recording, you will have to use direct monitoring and use whatever software controls your audio interface's mixer to route it's inputs to it's outputs.

Source monitor and timeline have different audio levels

When I bring an mxf file into the source monitor the audio of a file it is perfect at -12db but as soon as I bring the same file into my timeline the audio shoots up to -3db. I have checked the mixer and all levels are set for 0 gain. I did notice that the Source Audio format was 48000 Hz - 24 bit - 4channels and just below the Project Audio Format: 4800 Hz -32 bit floating point - 4 channels. Any help is appreciated.

Is it because in the source monitor you are only hearing one track but on the timeline you have a mix of all 4.

Need Help-SOA 11g File Adapter unable to delete input file and its crashing

Hi All
Please find the details below:
1. We have created a simple SOA composite to Read file from an input directory, archive the file in an archive directory using Inbound File Adapter Read
and then use Outbound File Adapter Write to move the file to a output directory.
2. File Adapter needs to delete the file after successful read/retrieval.
3. We are using the "Use Trigger File" for invoking the file adapter. This is a new feature in SOA 11g
4. Also we are using the option of reading the file as an attachment as we are not doing any transformation in the composite
Issue Details_
1. When the trigger file is put in the input directory for the first time, the File Adapter reads the file, archives it and moves it to the output directory
2. However it does not delete the input file from the input directory and raises Fatal Exception mentioned below:

Hi,
Using the file adapter, you can poll from multilple locations...
Keep the following property in your .jca file
<property name="DirectorySeparator" value="," />
While giving the path in File Adapter configuration, keep comma and give the next location....then the file will be picked up from the locations you gave....
Hope this helps...
Thanks,
