Mix FL, Mix RC, and recording q

hi folks
I've just switched over from the asio4all driver to the creative asio drivers to see if a sound-dropout in sonar7 would be alleviated.
Anyway, my question regards the numerous possible driver inputs for the X-Fi Platinum - the choices for inputs are:
Left Creative Windows Asio Rec
Right Creative Windows Asio Rec
Stereo Creative Windows Asio Rec?
Left Creative Mix FL Asio
Right Creative Mix FL Asio
Stereo Creative Mix FL Asio
Left Creative Mix RC Asio
Right Creative Mix RC Asio
etc etc etc
Lilke 25 driver inputs in Sonar.
What do the RC, the FL, and all the other acronmys stand for or do? I cannot find anything in the X-Fi docs that refer to these inputs. Obviously the left/right and stereo inputs are easy enough, but what are the others? Whats the difference between the Windows Rec and the Mix RC or Mix FL or Mix FC?
Thanks?

  • I just bought a docking station for my iPad so I could plug into a mixing board and record a live show.  I was disappointed at the time limitation for the recordings.  What is the maximum amount you can record a song into GB for the iPad?

    I purchased a docking station for my iPad so that I could record a live recording of my band directly from a mixing board this weekend using GarageBand.  Unfortunately, I was unaware of the song length limitations of the iPad version of this program.  Basically, was unable to capture more than 15 minutes of the gig.  I've read other conversations on this forum and can't really determine the maximum amount of time this application can record.  Can anyone tell me how long GarageBand for ipad can record at one single time and how to adjust the settings to achieve this?  Also, is anyone aware of any other apps than could be used to record a longer please share.  Thanks.
    CP

    I received an email reply from George, the Founder and CEO of Studiomini, he indicated to me that their app does not have any time limitations in regards to recording like GB does, you are only limited by the amount of free space on your iPad.  Fo what it's worth, I think the Alesis IO Dock is an amazing piece of equipment.  I would highly recommend purchasing the IO Dock and plugging your mixing board into the dock to capture your rehearsal.  Hopefully the feedback I received from Studiomini is accurate and I can capture my entire rehearsal at one time.  I hope this feedback helps.  One last note, apparently their will be a update soon to view Studiomni in the landscape view on the iPad instead of just the portrait view.

  • Live video mixing, editing, and recording with multiple feeds in

    I'm REALLY new to this - does premiere (or any other Adobe product) enable you to record live video and mix it onscreen from more than 3 live video sources - LIVE (at the time of the event)?

    .also as much as i hate sony they make something called
    the "anycast"

  • I can't seem to get GB to recognize my Behringer X1222 USB Mixer. It will record, but shouldn't I be able to see and/or select which input channel(s) that I will record from? Can I record more than one channel at a time, and record multi tracks?

    I can't seem to get GarageBand to recognize my Behringer X1222 USB Mixer. It will record, but only on the generic "USB Input, without seeing or letting me select the input channel from the mixer. Can't find any drivers from Behringer. How do I getGB to "see" the mixer? Thanks, I'm a newbie to Macs in genreal, and recording...

    the x1222 includes a 2 channel audio interface, 2 channels are all you can get from it.
    the most you can do is record to 2 tracks at a time; skim this tute to see how:

    Do you really want to include alphr_nr=12? If so, what do you mean when you say
    I have an approach but there are "unnecessary" rows ( the line with just alpha_nr = 12 ) and why don't you want alpha_nr=13?
    so my join is buggyExactly! The join
    ...    from hist, alpha b
    WHERE b.alpha_nr  = hist.hist_alpha_nr (+) ...means "include all rows from alpha, whether of not they have any corresponding rows in hist or not". If you want to exclude alpha_nrs 12 and 13, you probably want to do an inner join there.
    You don't need any sub-queries to do that:
    SELECT       CASE
               WHEN  GROUPING (h.hist_alpha_nr) = 0
               AND   GROUPING (h.hist_date)     = 1
               THEN  MAX (a.alpha_date)

  • Mixing Wave and MIDI output for recording - Windows Record Control limitatio

    I am using a SoundBlaster Li've! card with Magix MIDI Studio 2005. When I create a score that combines MIDI tracks with Wave tracks, I cannot record the combined audio stream using an internal recording program like Magix Audio Studio. It all sounds fine over the speakers, but I cannot record what I am hearing.
    MIDI Studio and Audio Studio are not aware of each other directly - they appear to use the Windows Play Control and Record Control to set which channel should be used to provide audio to the recording program.
    Unfortunately, Windows Record Control does not allow more than one channel to be used as the recording source. If I select MIDI, then Wave is deselected. If I select Wave then MIDI is deselected. I can record each separately, but I cannot sync them, since they don't send SMPTE or anything other than audio across the channel.
    Is this reflecting a limitation of the sound card or is there some utility I need to use to override the Windows Record Control? Or is there some program or some hardware feature I need to make sure that the audio output from MIDI and from the Wave source are mixed down to the Wave recording channel?
    I have already seen some recommendations to patch the audio out of the sound card to the line in. I am not interested in a solution such as this, since two conversions between digital and analog are bound to degrade the result significantly.
    If I need a higher level sound, that's fine, just point me to the right one.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Mixing progressive and interlaced in timeline.

    I am video recording a pageant this weekend. I was planning on shooting my Panasonic Ag-HMC150 at 1080i60. My b-roll cam is a Canon Vixia HG21 which only shoots at 1080i60, so I figured I'd just go interlaced on Panasonic as well. I don't need a film look or anything, so the video look for this live pageant is fine for me. However, now I have a friend who will be shooting with me as well. He will be roaming on stage getting shots of the girls exiting/entering etc.. He is shooting on a 7D, which to my knowledge only shoots 1080p24/30. I do not want to go the 720 route with the Panasonic or 7D. I guess what I am asking is it ok to mix progressive and interlaced video in FCP? My sequence shooting my two cams interlaced will be Pro Res 422, upper field first, 1920x1080. I guess I am curious if anyone has mixed the two types of video together before. Maybe I should go 1080p30 on Panasonic to match the 7D and just worry about deinterlacing the video from the HG21, even though deinterlacing still won't make it progressive. Another thing I considered was I will be doing a lot of quick panning and zooming, so to me it made more sense to go 60i verses 30p, for smoother motion and reducing any chance of strobing at the lower frame rate.
    Thanks for the help.

    If I had the ability to test them before the event, I would, hence the question. I will not see him until Saturday when he shows up with his 7d, and my HMC150 is out being used for another project right now.
    I guess what I need to know is this. I am going to have 2 extremely long interlaced files, and 1 extremely long progressive file. After I convert the interlaced stuff to Pro Res in FCP (log and transfer) and convert the progressive h.264 mov files to Pro Res from 7d in Toast 10, I will start my edit in FCP. Because I need to turn this around into a DVD quickly, I am wondering if field dominance should be set to none, or upperfield first? Like I said, this is all going to DVD anyways so I am practically throwing away half of the resolution anyways.

  • How to play stereo mix music and sing in my mic at the same time?

    Hi guys, need help regarding Realtek HD audio driver
    I want to play stereo mix music and sing in my mic at the same time.... not for recording purposes but in chatroom let's say.
    I'm using XP...Toshiba Satellite S4747 laptop
    In the Realtek software under " Realtek HD audio input" I have mic and stereo mix both.... but I can only select one at a time.....
    Any solutions plzzz thxxxx
    On a different note.... a friend of mine whose using one non-Toshiba laptop with win XP has an older version of the Realtek audio driver and can select both mic and stereo mix at the same time... I downloaded that version into my laptop but I still can only select one at a time....

    Check the audio settings in Windows and dont forget in Realtek HD audio manager. You can find it in control panel.
    I think your microphone is set to mute so check this.

  • Mixed Framerate and Resolution Workflow?

    In the military, in Afghanistan. Me and a buddy have XD Replay(hd model) helmet cams.
    We will be recording some things in 720p 60fps, for slow motion action, that I will use Twixtor to do time remapping tasks,
    I will also be recording some things at 1080p 30fps for regular footage.
    I would like to take advantage of the 60fps which is only 720p for this action camera.
    For mixing 720p and 1080p:
    First 720p footage: Uprez option
    I am guessing workflow would be to Create 1080p sequence 60fps,, import 720p 60 fps footage,
    Use, as effect, my Magic Bullet Instant HD set to "Custom", 1920x1080
    This would be a sequence uprezzed/resized to 1920x1080(some quality loss).
    Of course time remapped with twixtor for slo mo parts,,
    After all time remapping and color correction, other, this sequence would be nested into
    my other sequence with the true 1080p 30fps footage. That means my 60fps sequence is being nested into my 30fps sequence.
    What is best method for working, since I have slo motion stuff, being exported to 1920x1080 30fps, or even 24fps..
    In the end, during export, how will it be handled?, ect....
    Not to mention I have a real HD camcorder(JVC Everio GZ-HM300) that only shoots 1080i, some of that would be thrown into the mix.

    For what its worth, I've dropped 60p items into 30p sequences and have slow-moed some of the 60p clips. It looked smooth to me. IDK the mechanics of how Premiere handled it.

  • Mixing HD and DV

    I happened to mix HD and DV in a AIC 1080/50 project. I saved it in 720x576 (PAL) but it came out squashed.
    Can I save the project without editing it again?

    Question for my students, about a short videomaking workshop in Venice.
    I've rent a PANASONIC AG-HV200E HD camera, with hi-quality lighting equipment. Material edited in Final Cut Express 4.0.1 project 1280x720/25p. No great satisfaction in image quality... Medium quality camera (I thought) not real HD sensors (HD obtained by interpolation). To finish the video with e few new shots (no more university money for this) I used my "old" SD Anamorphic Pal Professional camera SONY DSR-570WE. DVCAM recording. Imported material into FCE, quality seems to be better than previous one! Good colours, good resolution. Maybe only some problems for recording interlaced material (PAL is 50i) into a progressive project.
    So the question: at this point I prefer to go on using standard definition professional camera also to obtain HD output. Somebody, Tom Wolsky in particular, can say to me the best setup for FCE to obtain hi results?
    At the end I need both interlaced DVD for PAL users and Bluray for public HD display or projection.
    - Do you think i could obtain best results making editing in DV-PAL anamorphic and only at the end to export it in FULL-HD (interlaced o progressive?). Or better starting with HD project (which one?) importing DV material?
    Thank you to everybody expert ho wants to answer to may uncertain English question.

    try to use advanced sound card or driver, it's not an AS deal, it's just your system options

  • Mixing ECC and NECC (Non-ECC) RAM Modules

    Hi,
    I have a G5 Dual Core 2.0 with a pair of 512Mb Non-ECC (NECC) RAM installed and I want to upgrade to 3Gb. I'm thinking of getting 2Gb ECC modules and discarding the 1Mb NECC installed. But I came across a phrase in the Apple Manual of my G5 that states "DO NOT MIX ECC and NON-ECC Memory Modules WITHIN A PAIR." Does that mean I can mix ECC and NECC within Memory Banks and NOT within a PAIR? Because in that case I won't have to discard my NECC 1Gb and have a mixed 3Gb Memory!? I'm afraid to actually try it so I would appreciate your insights. Thanks much.

    Yes. You can mix ECC and nonECC as long as you don't pair the ECC with the nonECC. The computer will just treat all RAM as nonECC.
    You can keep the original memory as long as the two 512MB DIMMs are always paired with each other.

  • Mixing XDCAM and HDV?? Outputting to SD DVD...

    Hi
    Earlier this year we shot a documentary on a Sony PDW-F350L HD XDCam (great camera, stunning footage - 35Mbps). Working in FCP has been fine.
    We're doing a follow up and budget and logistics dictate that we sadly can't use 350s again (where we're going, carrying 2 Z1s for example is going to be a lot easier). We're also on a fairly steep learning curve (being relatively new to FCP, Compressor etc).
    So I'm looking at options. We know that there are significant differences between say a Z1 and a 350 but from my research so far and from some relatively simple testing mixing Z1 footage (native) and 350 footage on FCP, at least editing on the timeline doesn't seem like it's going to present any problems (although thoughts on that welcome).
    The issue seems to be outputting. In the first instance we'll be outputting to SD DVD. Yes, that old gem...
    Searching round various forums, it seems this problem (HDV - SD) is fairly universal. Solutions seem to range from not working in Native HDV (suggestions vary on the format to ingest in - AIC etc); outputting to different formats first (eg DVCPro HD) and then to MPEG-2; outputting the timeline to tape (DV), re-importing; using some thing like a Matrox MXO to output and others...
    We're aware of the shortcoming of HDV and the compressed nature of the format and our expectations, given our kit are realistic. I've even tried putting some PD150 footage on the timeline but that's just not going to cut it.
    So, I've got to put a kit list together by next week and wondered if anyone had any thoughts on:
    1) Mixing XDCAM and HDV on the timeline and any gotchas we should watch out for.
    but more importantly
    2) Any suggested routes I can look at to get some reasonable output with these two formats on the timeline - particularly HDV (don't think we'll have time to look at the Matrox route right now).
    Many thanks in advance for any thoughts.
    Cheers

    Thanks Andy, Michael
    That's good input. From an editing point of view we seem to be ok. Although, Michael, I take your point and that's a good suggestion.
    The main problem is the workflow to create a decent SD DVD without the artefacts caused by compression/motion etc in HDV (and to some extent XDCAM).
    Have read the prores whitepaper at
    http://images.apple.com/finalcutstudio/resources/whitepapers/L342568A_ProResWP.pdf
    And looked a little more into understanding GOP structures and it seems that ProRes will help in terms of editing.
    The white paper seems to suggest that converting to ProRes, because it uses I frame–only encoding "Ensures consistent quality in every frame and no artifacts from complex motion. "
    We'll try some tests but, does anyone know if this is true?
    But it also seems that deinterlacing may solve some of the horrendous vertical edge rippling we're getting on the HDV footage when outputting to SD DVD - although if I'm honest I'm not sure how we achive that with our current setting.

  • Mixing static and dynamic content in a single outputText value causes NPEs

    Hi,
    I am having a problem and I'm wondering if it is a result of my error or if this is a bug.
    I am mixing dynamic and static content in the value attribute of tags (e.g., outputText). On initial page load, everything works fine. However, if the same view is reloaded (e.g., after a failed validation) I get an NPE from JSF:

              /><h:outputText escape="false" value='" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />' />So is the problem that I am mixing dynamic and static content with a single value? If so, why does it work on the first view, and not after?
    If it matters, I'm using the reference implementation version 1.1 (as included with NetBeans 5.5RC2) on SuSE 10.0 w/ JDK 1.5_09.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Yes, that's how I originally had it, but then changed it to the outputText approach since a single tag could do what I wanted, as long as I was allowed to mix static and dynamic content within a single value.
    I think this is a bug in JSF 1.1, since if what I am doing is illegal, it should throw an exception on the first page view, not work on first view and throw an exception on subsequent views. I'm guessing that this has something to do with the fact that on first page view it only runs the restore view and render response JSF phases, while on subsequent requests all of the phases will be run, and it's in one of those other phases that the exception is thrown.
    For now, multiple tags is the work-around, I guess.
    Thanks,
    Bill

  • Adding a jar to the classpath of an executable jar (mixing -jar and -cp)

    Hello,
    frankly I hesitated over posting this to "New to Java"; my apologies (but also, eternal gratefulness) if there is an ultra-simple answer I have overlooked...
    I integrate a black-box app (I'm not supposed to have the source) that comes packaged as an executable jar (with a Manifest.MF that specifies the main class and a bunch of dependent jars), along with a few dependent jars and a startup script. Long story short, the application code supports adding jars in the classpath, but I can't find a painless way to add a jar in its "classpath".
    The app's "vendor" (another department of my customer company) has a slow turnaround on support requests, so while waiting for their suggestion as to how exactly to integrate custom jars, I'm trying to find a solution at the pure Java level.
    The startup script features a "just run the jar" launch line:
    java -jar startup.jarI tried tweaking this line to add a custom jar in the classpath
    java -cp mycustomclasses.jar -jar startup.jarBut that didn't seem to work ( NoClassDefFound at the point where the extension class is supposed to be loaded).
    I tried various combination of order, -cp/-classpath, using the CLASSPATH environment variable,... and eventually gave up and devised a manual launch line, which obviously worked:
    java -cp startup.jar;dependency1.jar;dependency2.jar;mycustomclasses.jar fully.qualified.name.of.StartupClassI resent this approach though, which not only makes me have to know the main class of the app, but also forces me to specify all the dependencies explicitly (the whole content of the Manifest's class-path entry).
    I'm surprised there isn't another approach: really, can't I mix -jar and -cp options?
    - [url http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/windows/classpath.html]This document (apparently a bible on the CLASSPATH), pointed out by a repited forum member recently, does not document the -jar option.
    - the [url http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/jar/run.html]Java tutorial describes how to use the -jar option, but does not mention how it could play along with -cp
    Thanks in advance, and best regards,
    J.
    Edited by: jduprez on Dec 7, 2010 11:35 PM
    Ahem, the "Java application launcher" page bundled with the JDK doc (http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/windows/java.html) specifies that +When you use [the -jar] option, the JAR file is the source of all user classes, and other user class path settings are ignored+
    So this behavior is deliberate indeed... my chances diminish to find a way around other than specifying the full classpath and main class...

    I would have thought that the main-class attribute of the JAR you name in the -jar option is the one that is executed.Then I still have the burden of copying that from the initial startup.jar's manifest. Slightly less annoying than copying the whole Class-path entry, but it's an impediment to integrating it as a "black-box".
    The 'cascading' behavior is implicit in the specification
    I know at least one regular in addition to me that would issue some irony about putting those terms together :o)
    Anyway, thank you for confirming the original issue, and merci beaucoup for your handy "wrapper" trick.
    I'll revisit the post markers once I've actually tried it.
    Best regards,
    Jérôme
