Live audio mixing/enhancements

Right now, I can now listen to my line in/mic via the Line in app but I want to be able to live enhance the audio stream and a hiss filter would be nice too.
Theres lots of plugin apps that do this kind of thing, but I'm looking for something that isn't going to burn a hole in my pocket.
Goal- enhance the audio stream going to speakers/headphones.
Any thoughts?

I've had that happen to me on slower systems. If I would stop and hit play again, they'd update to where they should be at that point. i did discover that if i clicked and dragged the mouse where the fader should be (even if it is grey'ed out when a track is present) and you can usually still adjust levels during playback. You just don't get the visual.

  • Audio Mixer enhancements

    Hi all;
    I invite java programmers interested into java Sound API to visit the following link : http://www.jsresources.org/examples/AudioConcat.html
    this page contains an example of an audio mixer . however the authors of this program made this note :
    Bugs, limitations. This program is not well-tested. Output is always a WAV file. Future versions should be able to convert different audio formats to a dedicated target format.
    for mixing the program don't work well if the audio files list are not same formats. I tried to convert different audio formats to a dedicated target format -like suggested by authors- but the results are still not perfect.
    i wonder if someone is interested to enhance this program to add support for x audio formats for the mixer part. I think it will be a very good contribution to Java sound resources & of course it will also help me in my current application.
    thanks.

    any Ideas or hints how to tackle this issue ?
    is it a though task to implement this x formats audio mixer ?
    I thought it wasn't too hard.. am i wrong ?

  • Unable to perform multi audio tracks mixing with Audio Mixer

    How do you get a simple multi track mix with the Premier Pro 1.5 Audio Mixer?
    I got 2 audio clips, each sitting at the start of its own separate track (Audio 1 and Audio 2). I just want to mix them into the Master track.  Simple enough.
    So I go to the Audio Mixer. Position the CTI at the start of the tracks and hit the red RECORD button. The red spot starts blinking. Then I hit the START/STOP button expecting the tracks to start mixing into the Master track. Instead, I get this error message
         "PLAYER ERROR: You cannot record without enabling at least one track for recording."  
    I get the same problem if I try the mix onto a submix track.
    What am I missing? I combed through the Premiere Pro User Guide and J. Rosenberg's Premiere Pro Studio Techniques but to no avail.
    Thanks for any help.
    JB.

    Jacques, I havn't seen 1.5 for a while, so I need to stress that what I'm about to say is more of an educated guess linked to a rough memory.
    Each audio track in the mixer has a small chip (tickbox in 1.5??) that you click in order to enable that track for recording. In CS3 it's a little microphone.
    Having said that, I DON'T think that's going to give you what you want, as the intention of the recording functionality in PP is to record audio FROM AN EXTERNAL SOURCE (like a microphone) straight to an audio track, say, when doing a Voice Over for some video.
    You can't "mix down" to the master, as the master is not a track per se. It's just a "final" level control. The master will always be the sum of the active tracks, and THAT'S what will be rendered in the final output.
    You can still "live mix" your audio with the faders, it's just that those movements get recorded as keyframes on each of the tracks you modify (including, BTW, the Master).
    The advantage to this workflow is that every fader move you make is infinitley editable... a small error when riding the faders can easily be fixed by dragging keyframes.
    HTH.

  • Audio mixing (track not clip) .Precise level entry for KF levels?

    Ive done a lot of tutorials on setting and mixing audio levels, both clip and track in PrP 5.5 . I want to know the best way to add a keyframe on the timeline (in track audio mode) and enter a precise db setting. Dragging up and down is pretty random and not accurate, especially when setting levels for 2 mono tracks for stereo.
    I am not interested in using the track mixer in live mode because again it is to inaccurate and needs cleaning up. I tried right clicking on the keyframes and got everything EXCEPT the ability for numeric entry. A real basic function for audio mixing.

    Well, upon further inspections its the CLIP volume key frames that are displayed in the Audio Effects area. When you are trying to do TRACK key frames on the timeline, its necessary to click on the SHOW KEY FRAMES icon at the start of the TL audio track. When you switch to SHOW TRACK  KEY FRAMES suddenly the clip cannot be loaded in the SOURCE window (which kind of makes sense) and so the TRACK key frames are not visible for numeric entry.
    So the problem with no ability for numeric entry assigning key frames a db still exists.

  • Audio Mix Problem

    This has been driving me crazy for the last three hours and the deadline is end of day tomorrow. Here's what's happening:
    I'm working with FCP 4.5 on a G5 Dual 2Ghz, OS 10.3.9. I finished editing a short 15 minute piece for a client. It consisted of some live footage of various places. The footage was all imported via a DV converter from VHS-C and Hi8 cameras. Audio was set to 48kHz There was a lot of editing to get the 2 hours of footage down to 15 minutes. As I was editing I was adjusting the audio volume of each clip so that the levels were similar from clip to clip. When playing back the timeline and watching the Audio Mixer window everything was fine. The faders would change as the playhead moved over each clip. Then we did a voice over. I made sure that the sample rate was set to 48k. That all went well. I then exported a mix for Soundtrack and created a music bed in Soundtrack. The Soundtrack project was set for 48k. I exported that mix and then imported the resulting .aif file into FCP. I added that to the timeline and that's where my problem began. The piece opens with some graphics for the first 30 seconds. The voiceover starts right away. When I play the timeline and look at the Audio Mixer everything looks fine. The voiceover channel (3) shows the audio level and the fader is at 0. The music bed channels (4/5) shows the levels and the fader is at zero (except for a brief bump up to +2 for a few seconds and then back to zero. And the audio for the video clips (channels 1/2) shows -inf on the fader and there is no signal, which is correct. Now when the playhead hits the 30 second mark and the audio from the video clips is supposed to enter; the channels for that audio never indicate any level, and the faders don't move from -inf. Also all of the other channel meters stop indicating the level. They just stop working. But the audio from the video clips is not even playing. I should be able to hear the on-scene audio when the video clips start. Even though all of the meters stop working the audio from the voiceover channel and the music bed do continue to play.
    I looked through all of the appropriate settings and found the one for 'number of channels for live mixing' (or something similar) and it was set for 4. I thought that was going to solve everything, but unfortunately it didn't do anything. FWIW playback quality was set to 'low' on that same settings page.
    Interestingly enough, if I just click in the timeline in random places while it is stopped, the faders will all move to what they are supposed to be set for at that point in time. However, if I play the timeline from that point there still won't be any audio levels indicated on the meters and the faders will not change as the timeline continues to play.
    I can't think of anything else to try. I did reboot. I searched the archives here and didn't see anything similar to this problem. I'd really appreciate if someone could offer some suggestions. I hope I explained everything clearly enough.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Did the audio that won't play back now, playback
    before you brought in the files from Soundtrack?
    Yes, the audio tracks from the video clip played back fine before I brought in the Soundtrack music.
    Is it possible you could have overwritten those
    channels when you brought in the Soundtrack file?
    No, because the Soundtrack music bed is on audio tracks 4/5 and the original audio from the video is on audio tracks 1/2. Also I can delete the Soundtrack file from the timeline and the audio on tracks 1/2 will play again and the meters and faders will respond properly.
    If you load the problem clips in the viewer, do they
    playback their sound?
    I think they did, but I'm going to have to try again to be sure. I'm on another computer right now. I will do that within the hour and update this post.
    Have you tried doing an audio mixdown?
    rh
    By mixdown, do you mean exporting the audio from the timeline? If so, I haven't done that because since I'm not hearing the audio from the video tracks I'm assuming it won't be in the mix when I export.
    Thanks for helping out. I'm going to try a few more things and post back.
    Regards,
    Chris

  • No live audio unless I press record and play but no way to check levels

    Using Premiere Pro 6 and plugging my audio mixer into the input of my line input of the sound card, I can using Windows 7 select to hear the input all the time, say for some background music but I want to feed the mic through the mixer and lay an audio track.
    So I add a new audio track, hit R and hit the recording button and then no input noise and no meters moving so hit play and hey presto, I hear audio, with a slight delay but blast - its already started recording before I setup levels etc.
    Is there a work around to allow me hearing the live input when track laying this audio before hitting the play button ?
    Many Thanks

    On CC2014.1 you can 'meter input(s) only' in keyboard shortcuts for the track mixer.
    Not sure about monitoring though, or if this existed in CS6 (before my time!)

  • Audio Mixer FCP X

    I have a project that I do on a regular basis. It is a dance recital where i have live sound picked up from a mic on the stage for audience participation and tap sound in my left channel.
    The right channel is a direct connect to the sound board main out that is only music.
    Currently I am using FCP 6. FCP 6 has a audio mixer where I can adjust the left channel and right channel independently so that I have a good mix between live sound where the tap is not too overbearing and the music. Different dances require different mixes and there may be 70 different dances. Some are 1 person tap, some are 30 peron tap. you can imagine how loud 30 tap dancers can be. Thank god for my mixer. 
      Even though my left channel may be way lower than the right channel, the Output left and right are balanced, even. I am not sure why, but I believe that my mixer treats each channel as an input. It has a master output where i am able to get the master outpus equal in volume. This has been working great.
    I am now testing out FCP X and all I can see is a panner for each channel. OK, I can pan BUT I am left withwide differnce in left and right channel output levels.
    I have been looking for a mixer plug in  but I cant find anything.
    Anyone know of a good mixer plugin??
    Thanks

    DO you want a mixer or just to see both channels. If the clips are set to dual mono and you use the expand audio components function, you'll see both channels and be able to control them independently.

  • LIVE audio stereo stream

    Hi there,
    I'm looking for a way to offer a LIVE audio stereo stream to
    the web client using Shockwave plug-in.
    I was "banging my head off forums and search engines" (as
    flashcomguru nice says) for some weeks
    to find a way to stream LIVE audio stereo to Flash Media
    Server but I couldn't find one viable direct
    solution for this platform.
    The client Flash Media Server app uses Microphone.get method
    to capture sound from soundboard
    which unfortunately is mono. it uses a speech Nellymoser
    codec, at which music sounds pretty OK at 44Khz.
    Possible solution: I can capture the LIVE line-in stereo
    sound using two soundcards and thus beeing able to
    create two sepparate mono audio streams one for left, one for
    right using the only available Microphone.get method.
    It will then maybe need some synchronization server scripts
    later.
    The trick is: In Director I use two .swf movies (action
    script controlled) to connect to server
    and play the streams but I couldn't find a way to direct the
    streams to a specific channel
    (one of the 8 available) from which point I can use the LINGO
    Sound Channel PAN property, like this:
    sound(1).pan = 100 for right
    sound(2).pan = -100 for left
    From all that I read I came to the conclusion that you can
    use the Sound Channel PAN property only to
    .swa imported and prerecorded audio cast members, not to the
    live audio stream which is played roughly
    in the main sound output channel to which I can't apply the
    Sound Channel PAN property.
    The key is to route those two streams left and right in
    Director.
    Any hints?
    Thanks for reading,
    My deepest respect,
    hOver

    The microphone code is very similar to what you have posted.  I can successfully use the enhanced microphone.  When it is enabled, the issue I am having is exhibited.
    A simple test I am using:
    Use ffmpeg to stream a stereo mp3 file to the media server.  I am using the following ffmpeg command line:
    ffmpeg -re -i ~/alone.mp3 -vn -acodec copy -ac 2 -f flv rtmp://myserver.com:1935/video/3Daudio/alone
    In this case the file is encoded at 44.1 kHz.
    The client uses a netstream to play with bufferTime = 0
    Without the microphone, the playback is as expected.  With a normal microphone, not the enhanced microphone, the playback is as expected but there is little to no echo cancellation.
    When the enhanced microphone is enabled, again using similar code to your post, the mp3 playback becomes severely distorted and is unacceptable.
    In my opinion, this is an issue with the AEC algorithms of the enhancedMicrophone and stereo playback of a 'live' stream.  If I modify the client playback code to bufferTime > 0, the mp3 playback is normal but there is no echo cancellation.
    Thanks,
    Sam

  • __is there a way to save a preset for audio mixer settings...??

    I have CS5
    Looking to speed up the process so that I don't have to redo the audio mixer settings for every project - rather just tweak where needed.
    So wanted to setup the audio mixer how I want it - and just have it set as default for all projects or have some automated way to apply the same audio mixer settings to each new project.
    What's the best way to do this my people ?

    I agree with Jim Simon.  Creating your own template is a good workaround to what would be a good feature.

  • Streaming live audio in a flash movie

    Hi, I'm working on a website for a local radio station, and I
    want to be able to stream a live audio feed of the radio station to
    a flash movie. Right now all I really know is that the URL to get
    this live feed is
    http://kpacradio.pacific.edu:8000
    - if you put that into Windows Media Player it will start the radio
    broadcast. Is it possible to play this through flash so that the
    user can just stream it from a website rather than having to
    introduce windows media player into it? Thanks a lot.
    David

    No. The Flashplayer can't connect to a windows media
    serverYou'd need to capture the stream and republish to FMS, or
    broadcast directly to FMS instead of WMS.

  • Can i make Live Audio/Video application between 2 users

    Hello,
    I am new to FLASH and FLEX.
    I want to know if i can make a Live Audio/Video application(
    using Microphone and Camera) for a website by using FMS. If yes
    then should i use FMSS or FMIS. I will be using FLEX Buidler IDE .
    Any one who has made this type of application or link to a
    tutorial.
    What i would like to make is like an application of Webcam
    with 2 users can see/view each other and also talk on web site. And
    alos how can i embed this application in java(EE) project.
    I would be very thankful if you people can guide me in this
    problem.
    Hopefully i have explained my probelm.
    Regards,
    Saad

    Yes you can make a Live A/V app with FMS! that is exactly
    what it was designed for. You would need FMIS as that is the
    interactive version that enables live capabilities.

  • 5.1 Surround audio mixing

    Does anyone have some recommendations for a good 5.1 surround audio mixing program?

    You might be interested in my post from the Compressor forum on exporting from FCP to Compressor 2 for Dolby Digital:
    Here is my procedure for a basic 5 channel project consiting of one stereo pair for the front speakers, a mono track for the center, and a stereo pair for the rear speakers.
    First make a copy of your FCP surround project and name it as such.
    i.e. My Project saved as My Project_surround
    This will leave your original project untouched as a two channel mix should you wish to provide the user of your DVD with a seperate mix optimized for stereo only playback.
    We will now be changing audio track assignments.
    "My Project_surround" will now not play all tracks in your stereo audio monitoring environment unless you have a soundcard with at least 5 outputs.feeding a surround speaker set-up.
    (or you use the Audio Mixer from the Tools drop down to monitor a downmix to two channels)
    Open My Project_surround.
    Let's assume that your timeline has a stereo pair "A1/A2" for the front L/R speakers, a mono file "A5" for the Center, and a stereo pair "A3/A4" for the rear speakers, Ls, Rs.
    Use command "0" (zero) to open the project properties.
    Go to the Audio Outputs tab.
    Choose 6 from the Outputs Tab.
    in the 1/2 grouping choose stereo (leave downmix at "0").
    in the 3/4 grouping choose stereo (leave downmix at "0")
    in the 5/6 grouping choose "dual mono" (turn off 6 using the downmix drop-down)
    Click OK. (ignore the warning that pops up)
    In your timeline we will assign your tracks to the appropriate output channels.
    In the empty gray area next to the lock icon on track A1 right click, or control click, and you will get a dropdown menu
    In the audio outputs sub menu choose 1 & 2.
    Do the same for A2. (choose 1 & 2)
    For A3 and A4 use the same procedure now choosing outputs 3 & 4.
    For A5 choose 5.
    Save the project.
    In FCP export menu choose Export/Audio to AIFF(s)
    (create a new folder on your media drive to hold your exported files)
    You will get four files named after the project appended by: 1-2, 3-4, 5 and 6.
    Delete "6" as it is a dummy/empty file.
    Close your project.
    Close FCP.
    Open Compressor. In the batch window click on the speaker icon to open the "import surround sound group".
    In the graphical interface either drag the file with the 1-2 suffix to the left speaker icon, or click the icon and choose the file.
    Compressor will intelligently assign the left channel of the file.
    Repeat by dragging or choosing the same file for the right speaker.
    Compressor will intelligently assign the right channel of the file.
    For the mono center file either drag the file with the "5" suffix to the center speaker icon, or click the icon and choose the file.
    Use the same procedure for the Ls and Rs assignments.
    Once done click OK.
    Click to select your new group in the Batch window and from the dropdown menu choose "audio formats/Dolby 5.1"
    Setting up your Dolby settings as a preset for this project is now up to you.

  • Audio Mixer Won't Slide

    We are currently editing a project that has lots of sound fx. When I open the audio mixer I can only adjust the level slider on 3 of my tracks. All of the other tracks say -inf, and they won't move. Even if I enter a number in the box it stays at 0. Any ideas?

    You have to have your playhead in the timeline parked over what you want to adjust. If there is no audio where the playhead is located, the audio mixer will behave like you describe.
    In order to adjust audio where your playhead is not, highlight the clip/s in the timeline and use modify -> audio -> gain +/-

  • How to encode live audio to a-law?

    Hi all,
    I would like to know how to configure the processor to encode live audio to a-law datasource. I got something like this when I tried to start processor:
    Failed to build a graph for the given custom options.
    Failed to realize: com.sun.media.ProcessEngine@765a16
    Cannot build a flow graph with the customized options:
    Unable to transcode format: LINEAR, 44100.0 Hz, 16-bit, Stereo, LittleEndian
    , Signed
    to: alaw, 8000.0 Hz, 8-bit, Mono
    outputting to: RAW
    Error: Unable to realize com.sun.media.ProcessEngine@765a16
    Thanks.

    I think the format has to be one of those included in the getSupportedFormats().
    For example if you have a single track processor,
    Format[] formats = processor.getTrackControls()[0].getSupportedFormats()
    This should be callled on a confured processor. it returns an array of supported encoding/transcoding or output format for this configured processor. setting any of these should be successfull.
    Once format is set, the processor can be realized and started
    In your case I guess you have to find the format in the array that best matchs your a-law format then use this format from the array to set to the processor. (dont worry, their will be a few a-law formats)
    I think that in your case, transcoding 16-bit to 8-bit was the problem.
    Also, capturing at lower than 44100.0hz when transcoding to alaw 8000 could be considered, I mean capturing at 8000.0hz could work too
