Is it possible to monitor audio through my mac while capturing from a tape in FCPX

Is it possible to monitor audio through my mac while capturing from a tape in FCPX?

I am sure that as you import a tape you will hear the audio as well as see the video.
Have you got FCP X?

Is it Possible to Mark Chapter while capturing from camera?

While capturing from camera there are incidents (like obvious mis-speaks, etc.)that I would like to mark during the shoot when they happen to facilitate finding them while editing.
Is this possible to enter a chapter marker or something during live capture?
Open to any other suggestions.
Thank you.
I am using FCP 7.0.3.

After about a year of manually noting the time code and notes, I finally found a solution to the problem of marking chapters during a live shoot.
Final Cut Pro X will not allow you to mark a file while capturing it, probably because it does not actually change the raw file. However I just found a piece of software that will do the trick nicely. It is called Cut Notes. The only catch is that you must have an iPad to run it.
You can purchase it from digital rebellion for $9.99 at
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/cutnotes/
You start Cut Notes at the same time that you begin to capture, and it will start a timeline, identical to the one in FCP. Then for every edit point, you simply tap a key to insert the timecode along with either a pre-determined note or manually entered note as to the event. For example I have a note key that says MisSpeak, the opertator just taps it when I mis speak and it saves the time code and the MisSpeak title into a text file. I have another note key same for "walked off screen." You can Edit any number of note keys you may need. Then when finished, Cut Notes will email the file to your computer, simply import it to FCP as chapters using a free utility available at the same website. Awesome!!!
The only caveat is that you must import the file with markers before you do any editing to the project in FCP.
Hope this is helpful.

Audio Capture from DV Tape

I've reviewed many posts here about audio capture but, I am unable to figure out what the "trick" is to capturing audio alone with the video using the new iMovie. I'm connected via Firewire and I'm able to view the video in capture mode but, I hear no sound. I've checked iMovie Preferences and System Preferences and everything seems to be OK there.
Is this the way this new version of this program functions? I wish I didn't have to post a msg here because, I'm trying to read the previous post and trying anything that seems to pertain to my issue without the desired results.
Can someone please shed some light on what's going on with this function of this program?

I assume you are wanting to hear the audio as you are importing and not that you have no audio once it is imported.
imovie 08 doesn't play audio while importing. While you are using tape (that imports in real time) imovie now imports from a variety of different types of camera such as AVCHD (which isn't imported at real time. Therefore it is no longer logical to playback audio on import.

Extract audio and hide iMovie while capturing movie

How do I output Audio through computer speakers while outputting video via Firewire to TV

I'm outputting the video and audio streams via a FireWire connected Camcorder to a TV display (used as a third display), but I want the audio to output through the computer speakers and not through the Camcorder speakers as is happening. If I disconnect the Camcorder, the audio outputs through the computer speakers normally. This must be an audio out setting issue but I can't remember which settings to adjust. I used to do this in an earlier version of PRE but I've forgotten the settings. I'm using PRE 9.0. If someone can understand what I'm trying to say, I hope that person can help me. Thanks.

Good thought. I was thinking the same way, and I tried adjusting every
setting that's there but without any luck. It must be a setting within PRE
that would allow the video output stream to be split from the audio output
stream but I just can't find the setting. As I mentioned in the posting, I
used to do this in an earlier version of PRE.

Not sure that the answer will be there, but I would go to Edit

Good luck, and hope that it's just the matter of a setting?

Monitor audio tracks not currently being captured?

While logging and/or capturing, I would like to be able to hear what's going on in an audio track I have not currently selected for log or capture. This way, I can keep an eye -or rather ear- on whether the sound man added a second mic between takes or something interesting has developed with the boom audio.
It appears as if I can only monitor what I've selected to log or capture in the Audio portion of the Clip Settings tab of the Log and Capture tool. Is that true? If I think I don't want it, I don't get to hear it?
Martin

That is the FIREWIRE feed. There are still audio outputs on the back of the deck. If there are more than two, you are in luck. If there aren't, then SOL.

Is it possible to capture from DV tape (OnLocation CS5)

I posted this question on the OnLocation forum but got not responses at all. I’m new to Premiere Pro CS5 so please bear with me. Is it possible to capture DV from my Canon HV40 using OnLocation? When I get OL and my camera connected and ready, it only allows me to capture Live recoding. But I would like to capture my already recorded DV from tapes. I know I can use PrePro under a new project each time but it would be nice to do capturing and import clips to whatever projects later. Do I have something set wrong or is this not possible using OL?

Hi Jeff
I realised once I'd said it that, provided a picture's being sent down the firewire, OL will record it. Doh!

Problem monitoring audio

I have an external NTSC monitor while I edit, but the audio is coming out of the tiny monitor speaker, not through the desktop speakers hooked up to the Mac. Not sure what connection is necessary. I am going through an ADVC 100 that sends A/V to the monitor. Should I try rerouting audio out from the ADVC to the input in the computer? Sounds complicated, and I don't see why I should have to buy more cable connectors. There is no input on my desktop speakers. Shouldn't it be a setting in FCE somewhere?
One thing I know, it's apparently not the Digital Cinema Desktop preview setting under the View menu, as I got a full screen I couldn't exit from, and had to trash prefs and reboot after that. And Canvas Playback doesn't seem to do it either.
Again, how to play audio through desktop speakers while editing and watching video on external monitor. Used to be able to do it with older NLE I used for years.
Also, of course, with DV converter off, I get audio out of the speakers when watching in FCE interface View and Canvas windows
thanks,
Keith

By "desktop speakers" do you mean the speakers you have connected to your computer? If so, that's not how you want to be monitoring the audio.
Nearfield or reference monitors are made for critical evaluation of audio and used primarily in recording studios and post-production facilities. They are made to have a flat response so you actually hear what the audio is really like without any coloring (bass, trebble, etc) that typical consumer speakers will have.
If you don't have the budget for that, get as good a pair of speakers as your budget allows and use those, just keep in mind that they won't be very accurate. Leave the computer speakers for the computer.

Monitoring audio in sync with video when capturing in FCP studio

Is there a way I can monitor audio in sync with video when capturing in FCP Studio? I know you can plug headphones into your tape deck but that sound is not in sync with the video in the capture window due to time delay. I tried plugging the headphones into my Powerbook but could not get any audio coming through these, nor audio through the Mac's inbuilt speakers.

The preview checkbox is ticked and the audio monitor indicates that sound is being picked up (the levels rise and fall) but I still can't hear anything! The audio/video sync on the external monitor is ok, but because there is a time delay between that and the video capture window, I can't use that as a reliable monitor for sound sync. If I could resolve the video sync problem there, then I could monitor the sound through the external monitor.

I am having a problem configuring Audition to allow me to monitor audio with a bluetooth headphone.

I have several bluetooth headsets and I normally have no problem pairing and connecting them to various computers, but I attempted to pair a headset with my laptop running Audition last evening. The transport froze with the play button changed to green. I could not get it to play. When I replaced the bluetooth device with a pair of wired headphones, I was able to get everything to work as normal, other than the fact that I was tethered to my machine.
Is there a proper way to specify to Audition that I would like to route the monitor audio through a bluetooth device?
While the Audition output was failing, I was still able to hear system alerts and various other sounds through the bluetooth device, just not the Audition output, which is what I was working on.
I see some chatter on the forums, but not a lot of solutions for this sort of thing.
By the way, I was using a MacBook Pro from 2012 with 16G with OS X.8.5.

Record audio through jack input

Hi,
does anbody know if and how it is possible to record audio through my Q5's jack audio input (not through mic!)?
In case it's not supported via existing apps, can it be programmed via some API?
Thanks,
Peter

Hey BBBP,

SETTING to hear AUDIO while CAPTURING?

Hi...
(another) silly settings question.
How can I hear audio while capturing from my HDV deck?
When capturing from a DV device (a camera), the 'preview' box enabled me to monitor the audio from the tape while either screening it or when capturing it.
I don't see that 'preview' box as an option in the HDV log and caputure window.
Although I'm capturing audio from the HDV source, I can't hear it while it's loading. It's a little annoying as I'd like to be able to hear the tape as a way to decide if it's even worth capturing.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark

We're here all week, try the liver.
I've always been a believer in monitoring in the signal chain. Granted I don't work much with HDV-- but monitoring what is going into and out of the computer, rather than relying on the computer's built in audio seems to be the way to go. Then you know what's coming off the tape, and what's going back down to the tape.

Trying to record Stereo Mix with a monitor through my headphones. Using Screenium to record Audio and Video, using Avid MBox Mini with MXL 909 Microphone for the audio through the interface.

Basically, what I am trying to do is this:
Record my screen through Screeenium, record my voice as audio through an Avid MBox Mini (interface) with a MXL 909 microphone to pick up the audio. I have all that figured out. I'm able to efficiently record my audio and screenplay through these instruments and programs. What I am having trouble with is the stereo mix. I am running into a slew of problems here... My goal: Add on the audio of a game that I am playing (for example, Amneisia) so that the audio for my game will be picked up internally, and not through the speakers to be recorded through the microphone. I want there to be no external sound except me talking into my microphone. I also want to be able to HEAR the audio of the game through my headphones (and if possible, myself as well, through a monitor maybe?)
Problems I have run into so far:
-Haven't gotten it to pick up in game audio at all while using headphone. Can't figure this out
-Downloaded soundflower, have the output as soundflower. Not picking up anything, will put all my sound and midi settings at the end.
-When I do record through my microphone, it is only picking up a single channel (left earpiece only, no right channel)
-I have figured out it is NOT the equipment, I use Pro Tools and am able to pick up both channels with my mic, recorded a few tests. It's settings and I can't figure it out
-Trying not to run 16 million programs while running the game, will cause lag.
Summed up:
Trying to record:
-Audio from gameplay of any game I am playing through alternative route of speakers (do NOT want to record game audio through speakers, internally)
-Record voice through Avid MBox Mini and MXL 909 microphone.
-Record screen gameplay through Screenium
I followed a guide that told me to achieve "stereo mix'' I need to download soundflower and follow "X" steps. That is done and these are my current settings:
Audio Midi Setup - Stereo Mix custom Aggregate Device, Soundflower (2ch) selected, Avid Mbox Mini selected, Soundflower Output #1 has 2 channels (1-2), using Avid MBox mini for "Input" in order to record. Using Soundflower AND Avid MBox mini as "Output" in order to hear the sounds and replay game sounds (could be the problem? Maybe?)
Sound Settings - Output Stereo Mix (custom channel) Input Avid MBox Mini (recording)
I'm hoping this isn't too hard to understand.. I'm VERY bad at explaining information regarding computers.. It's hard becuase I don't understand it. I can clarify anything that I am able to, so any help on finding certain things would be greatly appreciated.
My computer: Macbook Pro MAC OS X Lion (11G63) 10.7.5 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 4GB 13333 MGz DDR3 (If any of this is imporant)

Hey guys,
I tried to do some research and it looks like you need to have an external device and its drivers, such as an external microphone, installed on the computer to record audio that can be saved as a sound file. Another Suggestion is to try an auxiliary spliter for your headphones and external speakers?
What software are you using to record your game?
If anyone knows anything different, please let me know.

Monitoring audio input through USB mic; lags

Hi,
I've been trying to monitor my own voice in headphones when recording into Garageband, however I find the slight lag to be most distracting (I'm reading a script for a voiceover). Is there a way to have the monitored audio stay in real time, so as not to have that annoying lag? I've experienced similar issues using other software (like Adobe Soundbooth). Is the lag simply an aspect of all digital audio recording, or can I monitor in real time?
Thanks,
Vic

it IS a part of digital audio, but whether or not it's perceptible depends on all the hardware involved. without buying new hardware there are two things to do.
make sure things are optimized:

and if that isn't sufficient, only wear your cans over ONE ear, and do not use GB's monitor.

Anyone knows if i-deck from Monitor Audio produces problems to the battery?

Hi, I got an ipod nano 4th generation and, when connected to Monitor Audio i-deck ipod shows a message saying "firewire battery charge is not possible" or something like that, what I am wondering is if ipod battery could have problems because of this when connected to i-deck to listen to it...
THANKS!
ps. I also have a fifth gen. classic ipod which do charges its battery on the i-deck... go figure!

Ahh, a very common problem. The reason the fourth gen nano displays the "cannot charge through firewire" message is just that. All the other models of iPods charge through a firewire connection and the new fourth generation nano does not charge through a firewire connection.
