Microphone delay when recording

Hello people of the creative community I'm writing to you about my soundcard, let me start from the beginning. See I bought a 5.1 soundblaster sound card and I used it for recording music and music playback and it worked perfectly. Ok about a month later the outlet on the soundcard got broken because the mic cord got pulled to hard while it was still plug into the internal soundcard, so i went out and bought a new soundcard only this time I bought the 24 bit 7.1 soundcard and everything installed perfectly only now when I try to record theres a delay in the vocals when I'm recording and I was wondering if there was something I could change in the configuration options that would fix this problem

If your 24-bit card is Live! 24-bit then
- if you're using ASIO compatible software for recording --> instal Asio4All drivers
Use ASIO/Asio4All drivers with latency set as low as possible (least 5-10 ms when recording, 10-50 ms while mixing).

IMovie Delay When recording

Does anyone see a delay when recording with the built in camera?
While the camera is recording there is about a second delay to the time I see it on the screen.
Can someone tell me if this is normal because I don't remember having it with Tiger?

Thnx for your help and from what i can now see is that there is a delay between when i press record and when the timer at the top appears, but this is no longer causing problems with footage being missed because of the error.
Thanks,
Angus

Delay when recording audio compared to my midi click

Im using my Powerbook G4 1.5G and a Presonus Firebox to record audio with a midi click. I´m using the firebox mixer for monitoring and have switched off logic software monitoring. I have no latency when listening while recording, but when listening to the recorded file, it´s delayed compared to the pre-recorded click loop.
This is what I don´t understand. Why is the recorded file delayed? I have the delaycompensation off. It does not matter if I record on the internal disk or a Lacie external firewire disk.
I have a G4powermac and a motu 2408 mk3 with no problems like this what so ever.
Should i do a midi signal output correction? Is this really necessary on a setup today? Why do I not have the same problem on my G4 Powermac?
I hope somebody have an idea.

there is always some latency when the signal goes thru the computer.
you can do a test and determine how much delay you are seeing and then
go to:
audio/audio hardware & drivers/drivers
and in the recording delay box put in the amount to be compensated for.
With my setup i fugured out that I had 57 ms of delay.

How do I fix the Audio Delay when recording Voiceovers?

I've been recording voiceovers in Final Cut Pro X and noticed that its a huge delay in the audio when I play it back. The recording is like a second or two behind making the voiceovers sound wayyy off to whats actually goin gon in the video. Is there any fix to this or is this a hardware issue? I'm running Final Cut Pro off of an External harddrive since my Macbook Pro can't handle the program as well. Its a 2009 17 inch. 4 Gigs of ram....150 Gigs of storage space left running on Mavericks. Any info is appreciated.

The VO or the video is a connected clip. You can trim it and move it according to your needs. Or do I misunderstand the issue?

Ffmpeg sound delayed when recording screen

Again, apologies for opening multiple questions, but I feel these things are best addressed in separate threads:
I am using this command:
ffmpeg -f alsa -i hw:0 -f x11grab -s wxga -r 25 -i :0.0 -qscale 31 /tmp/out.mpg
I am trying to do a screencast and have noticed that even though I set the lowest quality, I still get a 1-2 second delay in audio into my feed. Does anyone know what I have to do to get rid of this delay?
Thanks!

hi stressat, thanks for all that! I tried your examples, with the following results:
ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -i hw:0 -f x11grab -r 30 -s wxga -i :0.0 -acodec pcm_s16le -vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_ultrafast -threads 0 output.mpg
playing back the above with "mplayer output.mpg" yields error:
[AO OSS] audio_setup: Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: No such file or directory
AO: [alsa] 48000Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample)
Video: no video
Starting playback..
followed by squeaky noises out of the speaker. No idea why mplayer chooses OSS, after all I selected alsa? Also, as you can see, no video, even though I do have x264 installed.
Your second example:
ffmpeg -f x11grab -i :0.0 -s wxga -r 30 -b 6500 -bt 712k -sameq output.mpg
Playback shows only part of my screen, but bigger as if it had been switched to 640x480 before recording. Odd.
Didn't try fbdev as I want to record an X session. No idea why the video in the first example won't record, maybe I have to play with a different codec? I am using a fairly recent laptop, so I shouldn't have an issue (Aspire AS3810tg)
Thanks for your help so far! It is very much appreciated, even if I may not ever find the right settings...
I also took a peek inside /usr/lib/x264.h but that didn't enlighten me at all about what other options I could try passing to the library...

IPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds recorded. This happens randomly and often and sometimes has the delay but starts at zero. Solution Anyone?

After iOS 7 update, my iPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds that it shows has recorded. This happens randomly and often, sometimes it will have the 5+ second delay but starts recording at zero seconds. Besides the delay it has been working fine as far as saving and playback is concerned. I have plenty of storage on the phone itself and it NEVER had this problem before I updated to iOS 7. I've reset the phone a couple times by holding down the power and home buttons at the same time. The reason I have an issue with this is that I'm always recording song ideas, melodies, and scratch takes; what I'm saying is when I come up with an idea I need to be able to know that when I hit record it will start right then so I don't forget anything that has just popped in my mind.
Does anyone have a solution or suggestion?
Thanks

I want to be able to use airplay to stream audio to another iOS device, and then use that audio stream to be used when recording video instead of the built in microphone / microphone input. Is this possible?

A third-party app probably cannot obtain a stream from another app. To the best of my knowledge, such a capability is not provided in the software development kit, apps being "sandboxed" from each other and so allowed to communicate only in very specific and limited ways.
I'm not completely sure what you mean by "limitations on video capture". An iPhone, to the best of my knowledge, can natively record video only through it's built-in camera, and audio while doing video recording only through the built-in microphone or mic/headphone jack. There might be a video recording app that would allow audio input from an external device connected to the dock connector, but I'm not sure.

Webcam Video pauses when recording sound from microphone

I have a strange problem which i am encountering when recording and playing back webcam video.
I am developing a small application for recording webcam video and audio using FMS and playing it back later from FMS.
I am using AS 3.0, FMS 3.5 and flash CS 5.5
When i record only the video from webcam without sound from microphone the playback is fine. But when i record microphone sound also along with the video, and when i playback the video pauses right where the sound starts for 10 sec or more and then it starts playing. Towards the end the video pauses again and only the sound goes on till the end.
I tried setting the buffertime to 50 before ns.publish and ns.play but that didnt help either.
I tried using the flvplayback component and even their it pauses.
Any help is appreciated.

Haha, that is such a genius use of common sense! Thank you, I didn't think of that. I certainly will!
However, does anyone know if there is a way of adjusting the program of garageband to fix this issue? Using headphones certainly fixes the symptoms of my problem, but it doesn't actually address the root cause: garageband should only be recording the input through the microphone. I shouldn't need to wear headphones. (And doing so inhibits my ability to clearly hear myself play, and stay in tune.)

TS3376 The microphone on my i-pad mini does not seem to hear/pick-up any sounds when recording videos, facetime etc. Has anyone else had this problem?

The micro phone on my i-pad mini seems to have stopped working. The unit has never been rough housed and is always kept in a safe environment....we can hear everything fine, but no one can hear us and it does not pick up any sounds when recording video. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

I Have just the same problem, if I shout very near the microphone i can just hear something, did you manage to solve the problem?

Using an external microphone when recording in iMovie?

I've been trying to find a way to use my external USB microphone (MXL 990 USB) when recording a movie into iMovie when in the Camera Import window. I have the option to use it when I go under the Voiceover menu, but I can't find anything in iMovie or System Preferences that lets me record from it (even when I change the Input in System Preferences to the USB mic) for regular movies. It always uses the built-in mic no matter what I try. How can I use the external mic??
Any help is greatly appreciated!
-Ryan

Ryan--
I've been having the same issue with the same USB mic and I got it to work today. Here's what did the trick:
In previous tries, I had been using the "front" USB port (of the two USB ports on the left side of my machine) on my MacBook unibody with OS X 10.6.1.
I simply tried switching the MXL 990 USB mic to the "back" USB port and the mic now works when I capture video in iMovie from my built-in camera and the MXL 990 mic.
Of course I already made the adjustments (as you have) in System Prefs to the USB Mic---there is recognizes the MXL 990 USB.
I hope this also works for you.
Sincerely,
Joe

How to fix the signal with the microphone to the computer when recording through an interface? every time i record and play back i get poor signal and a lot of fuzz

How to fix the signal from the microphone to the computer when recording through an interface in logic pro? Every time i record and playback i get poor signal and a lot of fuzz.. how can i fix this problem?

Which model computer?
What operating system?

Hello, please help, my interface is connected to the microphone and when i open Logic 9 it does´t work. But I opened garageband to check and it works fine. I can record voice with any effect... With Logic i see the sound passes in the interface.

Hello, please help, my interface is connected to the microphone and when i open Logic 9 it does´t work. But I opened garageband to check and it works fine. I can record voice with any effect... With Logic i see the sound passes in the interface but does not arrive in Logic. The Loops works fine and i can hear. Is just the sound to record the voice it does not work. What can i do ??? I used Logic before in the same computer and it worked fine. Thank you so much, I´m a begginer recording myself.

Make sure you go into preferences in Logic and set the audio input to be your interface and the audio output to be either built in output or the interface, if that is hooked up to something else. It sounds like Garageband has the audio interface set as the input but not Logic.
Also make sure you close all other applications except Logic to ensure it is not running in slave mode...

When recording a video, only the microphone pointing away at the subject appears to function. Can both microphones be on for both of us?

I'm in telecom sector working for all providers in suriname. I just came from the company that supports 3g on 850mhz.
They did a trace om the imei/imsi.
The ipad 2 connect to 3g networks(seen at switch level) and the ipad3 never tries to connect to 3g it goes directly to edge. It not that it fails or smth similair it just doesnt connect 3g network.
I think the att 3g is locked because as above the att 3g sim with international data works on the same network on 3g.
I'm going to buy a verizon version as both have same umts:hspa frequencies on lte differ and here we don't have lte.
I have seen the verizon version working on hspa+(4g) att network.
I know for a fact that the 3g freq is not lock. I'll keep everybody posted.
I'm going to test the just installed(we installed hauwei equipmenth 3g network different carrier. This carrier is on 2100
From research i know att uses 850/1900 mhz for umts/hpsa in the usa

Importing to iMovie: How do I use an external usb mic when recording with the built-in FaceTime HD Camera?

Hello all
I'm scheduled to work with a friend this week; I'm going to help him make a simple audition DVD. I promised him I had the necessary equipment and such.
I was importing from the webcam using iMovie. If I can't use my external mic to record for the video, there is more involved in the editing process. I was hoping to record the video and audio into one package. I'm using the built-in FaceTime webcam on my macbook pro and a ZoomH1 on usb.
I've tried changing the audio in system preferences: input to H1. This works when recording with audacity or anything else. I even changed the input on FaceTime to H1. There aren't any preferences I can find in iMovie to change the input for importing video directly from the webcam.
How do I change the audio input for direct import on iMovie?
OR
Is there something else I can do to have HD video and HQ audio captured in one video file on my macbook pro?
I suppose I can record the video and audio separately but that is usually much more involved. This is why I got this usb microphone lol.
Thanks in advance,
-Seth

I just found using QuickTime Player to record a movie works great. I can easily change the audio input. iMovie is silly. lol
If I missed anything let me know.
Thanks
-Seth

No audio on ipod touch 4th generation when recording videos

no audio on ipod touch 4th generation when recording videos

Does the Voice Memos app work? It has a VU meter to show recording level.
Is the microphone hole clear? It is the hole on the backside of the iPod by the camera lens.
Did it ever work?
