Making Stereo Sound Good For Mono Broadcast.

hi!
in FCP, how can i check whether my stereo audio will sound good during a mono broadcast or through a mono TVset?
thanks.

Hi
To monitor your stereo sequence in mono, and you are not using an external mixer where you can sum the audio channels:
Open your sequence settings, click on the Audio Outputs Tab and Select Dual Mono.

Then open the Audio Mixer (menu Tools > Audio Mixer) and on the Master faders press the "Downmix" button.

This will allow you to hear your audio summed to mono.
Remember to reverse these settings before you output your stereo version.
Hope this helps.

  • IPad is not making any sounds except for itunes, Pandora and Netflix. Need help.

    From one day to another the iPad is not making any sounds (lock, keyboard, games) except for music on iTunes, Pandora and video on Netflix. All sounds are activated on the iPad's general settings. I have synced it and updated the OS to no avail. Any help or suggestions is gratly appreciated.

    If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • I'm deaf in one ear and need a stereo-to-mono earbud so I can use my iPod and iPhone. It is not good being able to hear only one channel. Can Apple consider making such a thing for those of use who need such a thing?

  • Change between mono- and stereo-sound

    My question is if there is any way to change between mono and stereo sound on the ipod nano 3th generation...?
    Thanks for help!

    Are you not getting stereo? What are you listening with - maybe there's a plug problem...
    Does it sound like stereo from iTunes?

  • Random switching between mono and stereo sound on t400s

    i just found out one problem on my t400s, it randomly alters between mono and stereo sounds. any idea why that happens? i'm using win7 enterprise x64, with all the latest drivers installed (i.e. no beta drivers).

    Don't pm me for help! That's what the forum is for. Also, Google's nicer than me. Ask him.

    This issue seems to be similar to the "T410 Extremely Annoying Audio Issues" thread, have you tried potential solutions there? (Can't summarize it because I haven't read the thread.)

  • Can someone recommend me a good creative sound card for listening to music

    Hi all,
    I am thinking to buy a Creative sound card for my new PC.
    I have browsed the Creative web site but found out that there are just too many options for me to choose from, like X-FI, e-MuRecon3D Fatal1ty Champion, Recon3D PCIe, E-MU 1212M PCIe.
    I have no idea which one is the best for me since I like listening to music.
    Please give me some advice.
    Thanks
    Kitty.

    It's ultimately going to depend on how particular you are, and what output you're going to be using.
    Arguably the X-Fi Titanium HD will give the clearest output of the whole lot. A measurable 122dB SNR means you'll basically have to turn it up to the threshold of pain before you'll hear any noise produced by the card itself. That doesn't mean there won't be any noise at all in the output - just that the card realistically won't add any that didn't already exist in the source material. Further to this, when run in Entertainment mode you'll also have access to the THX enhancements over the standard Creative ones, which I personally find to be substantially better in actual listening. The EMI shield and changeable op-amps are just gravy.
    Of course, there's always fine print. The 122dB SNR only applies to the front outputs, for example. That's not to say the rest aren't very good - they're rated at between 115dB and 118dB - just that they aren't as good. Odds are you won't really care but its still worth mentioning. The other major limitation (in my opinion) is the absence of a good headphone pre-amplifier, but that may or may not be a non-issue depending on whether you use headphones or already have an external one (or, like me, you feel inclined to make your own to solve that limitation).
    The other good option would be the Recon3D. I wouldn't bother going with any of the upper market ones for music (or for any reason, for that matter) unless the front drive bay or directional microphone are of any particular importance to you (NB I bought the Fatal1ty Champion edition - still not entirely sure why). An argument could be made for the EMI shield, but with so few components on the board it probably isn't stopping a whole heap of noise anyway over the miniature "shield" on the SPU itself. When compared in raw specs to the Titanium HD, at a glance it would appear to be vastly inferior - 102dB SNR ratio (albeit constant across all outputs) is quite a bit lower, after all.
    However, it's important to keep in mind exactly what that means. 102dB SNR still means you'll have to turn the volume up quite a bit to get any extra noise added to your output. You're talking around the volume of a power saw at a little over 3 feet, so realistically it's quite loud - and it's over the level which is generally considered to cause hearing loss with sustained exposure (95dB). You also have to remember that this doesn't apply to the S/PDIF outputs (nor does the HD's 122dB) since they're entirely at the mercy of whatever decoder you're using, so if you're using that output than the extra expense of the HD is pretty much entirely wasted. And, as a major plus, all Recon3D cards have what seems to be a pretty decent headphone pre-amp, which makes a very appreciable difference in listening, as well as supporting the various THX enhancements.
    The short version:
    - If you're listening mostly via stereo analogue speakers, get the Titanium HD.
    - If you're listening mostly via headphones, get the Recon3D (I personally think the pre-amp is better than the higher SNR).
    - If you're listening mostly via S/PDIF to an external amp, it doesn't matter (but get the Recon3D because it's cheaper).

  • Seek to a particular location for MONO sounds not working in AS3

    Hi Guys,
    I am facing an issue seeking to a particular location for
    MONO sounds with sample rate 22KHz. Another thing I observed was
    that there is a problem seeking to positions greater than half the
    total length of the actual sound, otherwise it is working fine. I
    have been trying to test this in a browser.
    Any ideas or thoughts will really help me.
    Cheers,
    TarXXXXX

    I am not streaming the sound from FMS, it is normal
    progressive download with audios placed local alongside my swf
    file. It works fine for 44 KHz sounds.

  • Tips for making strings sound more real

    Basically i'm having trouble getting my strings from the exsp24 to sound real. mainly the violins. does anyone have any good tips?

    It very much depends on what sort of music you are writing and what you want the strings to achieve.
    As well as having decent sounding samples, you must make sure that what you are writing are typical string parts. You can have the most wonderful string samples in the world, but if you play "Chopsticks" with two fingers they'l still sound like some chimp playing "Chopsticks" with two fingers.
    Broadly speaking, chords should be structured with wider spacing between the bottom notes than the top. Although complex classical music can have chords made up of 8 or more notes, pop music tends to have much simpler writing with perhaps only 4 parts or fewer.
    Dynamics are also very important. Listen to any piece of classical string music and you'll notice there is a very wide dynamic range within phrases, and even within the length of a single note.
    In general, the sort of sound that comes with Logic are good for long legato lines, or sustained block chords, or perhaps short stabbing sounds (think "Psycho). Because the violin is a fretless, fluid instrument, parts that require more sophisticated articulations will require a more up-scale library that features these articulations, and even then the results are not always great.

    Depending on the file formats, you may not have to do any conversion.

  • Good for Enterprise how to turn off notification sounds

    hi,
    I got this new IPhone 4s from the compnay I work, installed Good For Enterprise, syncing emails good. But not able to turn off sound for email notification.
    I tried this   Good -> Preferences -> Sounds and Notification -> New Email->Playsound off.
    But still I get annoying notification sound all the time..
    Anyone help me turn off ...
    Thanks,
    Nanda

        Hi Nankish!
    Let's get this fixed for you! I want you to have your email settings just the way you like them! To start off, I want you to know that sometimes, companies have control over the settings on any type of Enterprise Email, so this could be why you are getting the notifications. So, I would like you to get in touch with your IT department, to see if this is the case. I also have some troubleshooting steps for you to try:
    Settings
    Notifications
    Good
    Notification Center
    Sounds
    Please give these steps a try and let me know how it goes. Thanks! ^CB

  • On board 7.1 sound any good for nongamer into movies

    I am seeing so much about problems with Creative card drivers etc. Does one really need dedicated sound card?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Yes. You can go into Windows Audio Properties, select speakers (if you are using analog) and choose how you want it setup up. If it's Realtek, you can go into Control Panel (icon view) open the Realtek HD Audio Manager and even tweak the individual volume adjustments for each speaker using the Room Correction feature.

  • Cheap Good Sound bar for Samsung 50" TV

  • Audio sounds good on computer but shakey on TV in spots

    Hello,
    2 hr project. all audio levels are consistently between -6 and -12. Project sounds perfect in fcpx. When exported to dvd and played on a computer it sounds fine, BUT when played on a new hd tv audio at various points in the project make the tv's audio shake just a little.
    I used bass boost throughout project cause i wanted a fuller sound. I think it might be that, but short of having to go in and adjust all bass levels i was wondering if anyone knew of a filter in fcpx that normalizes everything so that it sounds good on computers and tvs? i think there's a broadcast safe filter. Will that take care of the problem, or is there something else? A little more detail - my audio levels were originally above -6 consistently via an someone who worked on the projedct throughout entire project. when i moved them back between -6 and -12 i didn't adjust any of the bass boost levels that he originally established.
    Thanks for your help! joe

    Update....
    So far, the video made with iDVD only sounds clear via the computer or surround sound system. The sound is hissing/fuzzy sounding at the "s" and "f" sounds on ALL regular tv speakers that I've tried it on, mono or stereo either one.
    I saw the reply that stated there are no audio settings in iDVD with "OneStep..." So nothing can be adjusted in iDVD to make it sound good on all tvs? And no clues as to what's causing this issue?

  • Imac mid june 2011 ..connected toslink to optical to my hometheatre and yest io only get stereo sound..audio midi setup 5.1 is greyed out ? help ?new to mac

    guys after a long time...i finally shifted to mac ...a long time windows user...so far the experience is been good..
    ok here is my first problem with this setup
    in india its a pain to get a toslink to mini adapter ...finally i found one and connected the mini end to headphone jack behind my imac...
    (imac 21.5 mid june 2011) and optical end to my hometheatre ...
    in audio midi setup the multichannel option is set to stereo 2ch 16 bit..
    perian is installed and set to use dolby prologic..
    i only get stereo sound from itunes,vlc or movist or even xbmc and boxee...tried them all configured the audio to use 5.1 but no luck,
    questions
    why is 5.1 greyed out ?in audio midi setup ?
    i am using my mac to create multimedia content and knowing how the sounds created will be heard helps me a lot..
    i have invested a lot (3 years savings in this mac) and i wouyld very much appreciate all your help..
    i also purchased a griffin hdmi port which connects to my tv but the audio is still stereo..
    finally got a toslink http://www.amazon.com/3-5MM-TOSLINK-FIBER-OPTIC-TOSLINK-mini-Toslink/dp/B00006LV F3 this one ...still only stereo...
    any help would be greatly appreciated .....

    Hello John, I figured it was a signal issue. All the speakers fire and the sound is great. I was running the speakers thru a Dell PC with a Creative X-Fi Elite Pro, THX Certified, 7.1 soundcard using a fiber optic from the Mac Pro to the Z906's, it worked great until the Dell died!!! When I bought the soundcard from Creative I also bought the GigaWorks S750, THX Certified, 700 watt, 7.1 speaker system, used the speakers for 11 years and then the woofer/amp said "I QUIT" Creative quit making the speaker system and the sound card. The satellite speakers from the Creative GigaWorks speaker system still sound great (rated at 78 watt each) and are a little better speaker than the one's that came with the Z906 and the wattage from the 906 is sufficient to drive the satellites without any distortion. Thank you for addressing my issue, you confirmed what I suspected all along, just needed to hear it from someone with the same setup.
    One last question, I purchased a Diamond Multimedia USB Soundcard, can't use the fiber optic(not supported by Mac) but the green, tan and black RCA's plug in and produces adequetly. When you plug your 906's into the Mac Pro using the fiber optic how do you set your speaker configuration? When I plug into the mac pro with fiber optic the 'Audio Midi Setup' does not seem to see the 5.1 configuration. Any thoughts there?
