Issues Working With Audio

Hi
Has anyone worked out something for these situations?
1: I have source footage with 2 tracks ... dual mono... wireless mic 1 and wireless mic 2. I edit the clip into a Project (set up as Stereo out) and need to balance the two audio clips. I can select the clip ... set it to Dual Mono in the inspector... and Pan Left/Right. But to adjust the levels of the individual channels it seems I have to right click on the clip in time line and select "Open In TimeLine". Now I see the 2 channels. The Format settings need to re-set to dual Mono and pan settings to Stereo Left / Right .... now I can Pan the tracks and set a Level Envelope curve for each on the timeline... but can't hear the rest of the Program Mix!!!
Is there a way to just get all of clips's audio tracks to show in the Main Timeline. Expand doesn't seem to do it? Seems soooo basic.
2: If Im editing video and audio into the timeline how do I choose which audio tracks to edit into the program. I see how to select Audio / Video or both .... but if I just want one track? Do I have to keep switching audio tracks on and off in the Source clip via the inspector?
Thanks
Lee

Sorry ... don't know how I posted here ... off to FCP X !

Unexpected problem: uncaught exception when working with audio files in Soundtrack Pro

Hey,
Whenever I double click an audio file in the timeline to work on it, I end up getting the Error message: "Unexpected problem: uncaught exception" and Soundtrack Pro eventually crashes. Also, this happens when I try to work with audio files in the file editor. I have Leopard and am using Logic Studio 8. Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks
Matt

Didnt know how to remove the original clip from the STP arrange window - or whatever it's called in STPro. So I could go no further in my perverse science experiment.
It also appeared that I could only import an aif but not a wav?
I gave up on STPro and did what I needed to do in Logic, which I use regularly.
Thank you for folowing up on this.
PS. I used to use an old PowerPC version (1.0.3) of STPro and loved the way it visually showed the change in the waveform when you added each efffect. It appears that the new version (3.0.1) does not allow you to do this anymore? You can render or flatten the effects to see the final waveform, but then you are dead in the water and cant make changes?
Im such a newbie at STPro that I am probably not using it right?

Working with audio | Learn Premiere Pro CS6 | Adobe TV

This movie introduces the robust audio tools in Premiere Pro. Abba Shapiro shows how to preview and trim audio in the Source Monitor. Whether it’s an audio-only file or the audio channel of a video clip, Abba shows how to enable sub-frame audio scrubbing and trimming. He also shows how to interpret clips to combine or separate stereo channels. At the same time, he introduces fundamental audio tools that are essential to working with audio in Premiere Pro.

Is it possible to specify what audio channels to capture during capture from tape? It seems Premiere wants to mix the lavaliere mic and camera mic into a stereo track all the time, and then I have to modify audio settings and force it to mono in the project. In Final Cut pro 7, I am able to specify which audio tracks to capture, and this simplifies things in editing. I cannot see anywhere to do this in Premiere....

Working with audio

Hi,
I've got a couple upcoming projects that will largely be focussed around music, and animating photography in AE in time to the music. I've checked the help guide, but can't seem to get preview with audio functioning properly. Is this even possible in AE?
At the moment, all I can do is preview sound "from this point onwards" using numpad "." but I need to see the video track simutaneously, in order to fine tune the animations. What's the best way to do this?
Thanks,
Danny

Yes it is possible, you can work with audio and you can play it back of course, use the RAM preview button.
But, AE is not the best program to work on Audio with. In fact most people I know and myself, avoid using Audio in AE at all costs. Now it's case of what you like, some don't mind audio in AE, but for most, the response times and additional features when working with multiple layers of audio just aren't good enough.

How do I get my iChat to work with Audio/Video?

I have tried to read through the other posts on this topic to figure out what to do. I am quickly in over my head with changing configurations on ports and routers. It should not be this difficult. Until I bought this computer less than a week ago, I had used Windows machines which I would be able to figure out fairly quickly. I thought Apples were supposed to be easier to use? I have been working on this issue for two days now. I even called Apple twice. The first guy said what I was asking was beyond his knowledge, and I should log into this discussion board for an answer to my question. I told him I could have done that without paying for both Apple and Pro Care.
The second guy worked with me at least and put me on hold several times to research. He had me try different things before telling me that I must not have enough bandwith on my ISP. He told me to call my ISP provider and ask them what the bandwith was. When I asked him what bandwith I needed to iChat A/V, he said he could not tell me what it was. If it is a bandwith issue, shouldn't the screen say so? Instead it tells me that I failed to accept the invitation that I initiated, or failed to accept the invitation after I pressed the accept button.
I know the MBPs are new, and there will be growing pains, but I expected a little more assistence from Apple. I am working dilligently to learn how to use my new Mac and am getting completly frustrated with this A/V Chat problem. I even downloaded AIM on my MBP to see if that fixed the problem. The same thing happens. Either I initiate the video chat and the other person accepts, which causes my screen to say that I failed to accept the invitation. Or they initiate the invitation and once I accept my screen freezes saying that I failed to accept the invitation.
From the looks of the other posts, this does not seem to be an Intel chip issue. Since AIM did not work either, it must not be an iChat issue.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Mac Pro RAID block size recommendations for working with audio in Logic Pro

I have recently ordered a Mac Pro and plan to do a RAID configuration across 3 HDD's
The RAID type i am going to do is a RAID 0 striped.
The computer is going to be used primarily for audio post production and working with 20+ 24-Bit audio files at any one time within a Logic project.
I want to know what is the best block size i should use when configuring the RAID.
I understand that using a higher block size is best for working with large files but do i need to do this in my case or will the default 32k block size be enough?
Thanks in advance

Use 64k. Things like databases like having 32k blocks because of all the small files. Audio files are pretty small even at 24-bit 192KHz. Go to 128k if all you are doing is streaming and no samples. But 20+ 24-bit is really not too large anyway considering most modern HDD's can stream 100MB/s off one spindle. You'll probably be fine regardless of the block size you choose. But most audio pro's choose 64k.

Issue working with states (FW CS5)

Hi all,
Here's my thing: when I save a file and open it up again some time later, all the pages will be set in in the first state (which is shown at the top of the states panel). That's very inconvenient for me. I'd like the page to stay in the state in which I put it. Is there a solution or a workaround?
Another thing what's happening when I open up a saved document, is that some objects don't show themselves when I activate a different state of the page where the object is placed upon. It's showing up only after double clicking the object (and open up the object view, the page is grayed out) and the return to the page view. Pretty unhandy.
Also when saving: FW will always show the first page in the document, not the last page I've worked on. I'd like it to see that specific page.
Any help would be appreciated very much.

Hi Linda,
thanks for your reply, but it doesn't solve my problem. I'm not putting pages on states. I do add states to pages. My main issue now is this:
What's happening when I open up a saved document, is that some objects don't show themselves when I activate a different state of the page where the object is placed upon. It's showing up only after double clicking the object (and open up the object view, the page is grayed out) and the return to the page view.
It's very important for me to resolve this, since other people working with my file otherwise only see white space instead of objects.
Thanks for your help.

I have an iPad mini and a 2nd gen Apple tv -which works fine with Airplay--and whilst i can get BBC Iplayer and 4OD , it only works with audio for ITV player and Demand 5. What am I doing wrong

I have a new iPad mini and can successfully use airplay with my 2nd generation Apple tv . BBC Iplayer is fine --as is 4OD, but ITV player only works in audio format--and Demand 5 does not work at all. I am pretty sure both the latter are compatible--so what can i do to fix this and what am i currently doing wrong?

Someone recently noted a problem staying logged on the Huffington Post since it became connected with AOL. The workaround for that is to change your connection setting here:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network
Click the "Settings" button and choose either "No Proxy" or "Use System Settings" option, and OK the change.
Not sure whether Washington Post could be affected by that same setting.
In reviewing your extensions, I'm puzzled that you have both DoNotTrackMe and SavvyConnect. The first one seems to aggressively block certain communications with websites (potentially affecting functionality) while the second one seems to report on your browsing habits (they better pay well is all I can say). Have you tried disabling both of those to see whether that has any effect?

Working with audio conversion

there are lots of audio programs out there, each of them has more imperfections than substance
so far my only foray into sound was long ago when mmsystem.h was the header de jour
these days I am using ISO C++ more in favor of Win32 aside from system calls.
audio is documented but I was more interested in format conversions etc

Vegan Advocate How can you be an environmentalist and still eat meat?

I was noticing a lot of programs out there are outright pathetic
eg I have a FLAC audio file for source and I want to convert to Apple Lossless or MP3 etc
now audio is far from consistant, so I need to be able to work with all possible types like 8 and 16 bit samples and varying sample rates etc
tags are more fun, id3 is fine for mp3 files but m4a and mp4 use atoms that are not well documented either

Why iPhone 3G Dock doesn't work with audio cable?

Hi, I'm Italian. I apologize for the mistakes, but I just learned English!
I will try to explain you my problem. I bought an audio-video cable for iPhone to link it at my stereo and to get better the HiFi System, I decided to buy an iPhone 3G or 3GS dock (my iPhone is a 3G one). But, when I linked all, the iPhone works with its speakers. Is possible to get working the iPhone like this:
iPhone > audio/video cable > stereo
with these links:
iPhone > dock > audio/video cable > stereo
Thank for your help.
P.S. The products are all original, they're these:

Have you downloaded the Remote App? Wouldn't it be better for your iPhone's battery life to just let iTunes play the music over AirTunes? I'm kind of confused as to what you're trying to do.

Mainstage not working with audio interface

Hi,
I'm having problems in using Mainstage with my audio interface, a Tascam US-600.
Mainstage does not receive any input signals when I connect a microphone or a guitar into the Tascam and use it with Mainstage. I selected the audio interface as audio input and tried with all the inputs (from 1 to 6) that the channel strip let me select. For the audio output, when I select the built-in output I can not hear nothing; when I select the Tascam outputs, I can hear just the NON-PROCESSED sounds.
I don't know what to do, because I realized these other facts:
     - Mainstage works with a MIDI device directly connected to the Mac with a MIDI-USB cable;
     - The Tascam, as written above, receive the input signals. Using it with GarageBand it gives me no problems, with the same instruments (both                microphones, guitars and the audio interface) and connections!
     - Also if it gives me problems with feedbacks and noises, the built-in microphone seems to work with Mainstage - at least MS recognise input signals.
Thanks in advance for your answers and sorry for my English if it's not so smooth.
Francesco

The problem is that since the MacBook only has two USB ports, I am having to use a USB hub. <snip>
When I quit Mainstage and unplug the USB hub and only using either both interfaces, or one interface and the midi controller, it works fine.
Hi
Is the Hub a powered one or ?
Sounds like you need a better (powered?) one

edit
Could be an overall power limitation if everything is bus powered? Can you use external PSU's for any of the kit?

Working with audios

When importing MP3 audios to every frame, size of movie
increases dramatically. We have tried several things including
calling the mp3 file in every frame with a Javascript.
Does anyone know how to include audios in a captivate movie
without the big increase in the size of the final movie?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Hi Cabralie and welcome to the commuty
Unfortunately, that's just the way things work. Audio
consumes space. The good news is that when you insert audio in
Captivate, for some reason it has to exist as .WAV as well as .MP3
format. So the .CP file grows quite large as a result. But when you
publish your movie, only the .MP3 files are used and included.
There is another gentleman here that claims to achieve both
higher audio quality as well as a smaller file size by inserting
the audio clips into Flash and creating little .SWF files that he
drops into Captivate. So maybe that's an option for you if you have
Flash on hand to use and know how to use it.
Cheers... Rick

any ideas from the floor? [do I really have to go and buy another usb headset or an iMic to resolve this??
please tell me there's another option!
thanks

I have been unable to get the microphone input with a Viewsonic 22" monitor with webcam to work with either iChat or iVisit with my Mac Pro. There have been other reports on the web about newer versions of the OS 10 inactivating the audio input for several programs. Is this why the microphone does not work or is it true that the audio input does not act as one? If the audio input does not work with an external microphone, what is it for?
