Mixing with Buses

Hi,
I am currently mixing a large project (80 or so tracks) and I'm trying out various bus set ups to try and save on CPU. I want to be able to send groups of channels (i.e. drums or vocals) to a bus via a send (in the normal manner) but I also want to send groups of channels to other buses to apply global dynamics processing (thus saving on CPU) and to control them by a master aux fader.
Here is how I've sent up the Vocals...
I have set up a send (to bus 1) on each vocal channel and then inserted a reverb onto Aux 1 with input set as Bus 1 and the output to main 1-2. I have then set the output for the vocal channels to bus 2. Aux 2's input is bus 2 and the output is main 1-2. On this aux I have inserted a compressor. Now on the actual bus channels (not aux) themselves I have set their output to nothing so the signal is passing through them but not being monitored. However I am getting phasing when monitoring - I can only think this happening due to me sending the signal to 2 buses, 1 via the send and the other directly via the output of each channel.
Help! Is there a simpler way to set up the mixer so I can achieve this?
Many thanks for your help.

Does the reverb also pass dry signal? I believe it shouldn't, if its' used as a send-return. The dry part of the signal probably gets a delay too, when passing through the reverb. I am not sure though, I will try it out myself.

  • 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.

  • Why does footnote text mix with the main text in a documents?

    Hello good people
    I have a annoying problem where the footnote text mixes with the general text in the document in Pages 5.2.
    I'm writing research papers and I use considerable amount of footnotes.  When there is more than a certain amount of footnotes in in one page, the main test of the document seems to fall behind the footnotes, making it almost impossible to read.  The doc prints the same way.  Saving, closing and reopening does not fix the problem.  Exporting to Word does not fix the problem either.  Neither does restarting the computer.
    If I however hit enter until all the text is on a new page, sometimes that fixes the problem.
    I'm using Pages 5.2 on a PowerBook Pro with fully updated Maverick.
    Any solutions or good ideas ?
    All the best

    I don't know about text, but with Email, you are limited to how many bytes an attachment can be. Truthfully, I forget the limit, but there is a limit. One thing you can do is put it on YouTube and then direct the people you want to see the video to that particular URL. Also, I believe that there are a couple of apps which will allow you to send longer videos.

  • I have a hp hpe-595a, i'm trying to use stereo mix with a hot mic. anyone know how to do this?

    I'm trying to sing along with the music in the chat program Paltalk and also host a music room on the same program, I can only use the mic or stereo mix but not both at the same time.
    I have been using this chat program for over 5yrs and have always been able to use Stereo mix with the mic active, using the realteck codecs or soundblaster (what you hear)
    I can't do this with the IDT codecs supplied.

  • Album artwork mixed with other artwork

    my album artwork has been mixed with other album artwork of songs that I have removed off my phone. the mixed up artwork is only in the purchased songs. any suggestions on how to fix this? I am not looking to download apps or jailbreak my phone to fix this problem.

    I have the same problem and this is how I get it to work.
    Although the artwork in iTunes seems correct, you still need to check individual Artwork on each Album.  (The new iTunes seems to mass them up.)
    Go to iTunes Music and right click "get info -> artwork" on each of your song.
    Make sure the artwork shows up.
    In my case, some of the artwork is missing and some of them looks strange.  Reset any artwork that is missing.
    Uncheck the music sync so the existing music in your ipod is removed.
    Before resync, go to your ipod to make sure all the music files are actually removed.
    Resync.
    Hope this help.

  • Surround Mix with Logitech Z-5500 Digital

    Hello,
    I have a project for a 3D animation short movie, and I'll also make the score and sound effect for it, to make a DVD.
    I don't have Logic Pro yet; I have Logic Express.
    Is it possible to use a Logitech Z-5500 Digital set to do the surround mix with Logic Pro ? Using the optical digital out ?
    I have a very limited budget, so I'm looking for the cheapest solution possible, with the best possible sound.
    I'm waiting for a Mac Pro 2.66 with an ATI graphic cards (for Motion and 3D).
    Thanks.

    can't you pick the surround soundtrack in the control bar that is displayed close to the bottom of the movie window when you start one in iTunes? If theres no surround track, it cannot be done, furthermore, the speakers must be run from a surround home theatre receiver. Messing around with it on one of my desktops, I can choose the surround channel, but since it only has 2 built in speakers, I obviously won't get 5.1 (L/R front, center, L/R rear, and subwoofer). I agree iTunes should have preference that surround is automatically decoded when a surround track is available much like it's a preference in DVD player. I still haven't figured that one out.

    What you need is not a mixer, but an audio interface with at least 4 mic inputs. There is a lot of choice there, but you should indicate a budget. You can go from, say, € 300 to € thousands, if you want.

    However, there are other options (like multi-out mixer plus multi in interface, or standalone mic preamps plus interface with 4 inputs, etc). I have little experience using these however so I really cannot say much about which one(s) to get. The two mentioned above both have four mic preamps, but they are by no means the only way to do it.
    The cheapest solution I can think of is to get a second 1204USB, plug it in, and in OS X create an Aggregate device (=the two are being merged into 'one virtual' interface with two discrete stereo (= four discrete mono) inputs. Disadvantage: you keep the same (limited) soundquality of the 16 bits convertors. Getting any of the interfaces mentioned earlier will also mean you'll make the significant step up from 16 to 24 bits sound.

  • No sound using stereo mixer with speaker balance s...

    No sound using stereo mixer with speaker balance set between approx 95-100% of max to the right
    Setup: good quality functional soundcard, fine when audio not routed via Skype, mixer enabled, Skype mic / audio auto disabled, issue present when tested using a variety of different systems, latest version of Skype was used on all machines being tested
    Issue: When the speaker balance is set approx 95% to 100% to the right speaker channel using the Windows audio control no sound is generated. The issue is absent when audio is not routed via Skype. This would seem to be a Skype bug and would like to report the issue as a bug. Has anyone else encoutered this issue? Is there a resolution?

    Yes, I restarted my computer yesterday and this morning all my sounds is controlled by the left/right blance percentage.

  • Importing HD to mix with SD footage.

    Hi,
    I just got an HDV camera today (Sony FX1) and I have a wedding to film this weekend, so I'm kind of learning as much as I can right now both about filming with this camera and editing in FCP. (I've used FCP for a couple of years, but this is my first experience with HD.)
    I'm currently using Final Cut Pro HD 4.5.
    I plan to shoot the wedding with the FX1 as my front (main) camera and film in HDV. I am going to use a Canon GL2 as a second camera.
    When downconverting to SD for editing, it looks as though the video from the FX1 will have black bars at the top and bottom - something I don't mind, but my customer may have questions about.
    1) Will it be odd to mix footage from the FX1 that has been downconverted to DV with standard DV footage from the Canon GL2? Is there a way to import the footage (anamorphic, or whatever) so that there are no bars? Or, what is the correct setting for importing into FCP? Again, the bars don't bother me and if they have to be there, I can tell the customer that in the future I'll deliver it to them in HD.
    2) When I do edit for HD, will it look odd when switching between the FX1 and GL2? I don't mind the GL2 having bars on the side.
    I guess my overall question is: What's the best way to import footage into FCP 4.5 when using HDV, and are the bars going to be there no matter what if I deliver the final video in standard DV? Again, the bars don't bother me, I'm just worried about how the customer will view this.
    Thanks,
    - John

    I deal with similar issues with legacy 4x3 Beta SP mixed with HD quite a bit. I'm speculating, as I have not had to mix HDV and DV yet, but this is how I would try to deal with it were I in your shoes.
    You can put both in a time line, but it will be painful to edit this way. One or the other will need to be rendered, and the actions you take with the footage will cause you to have to render again. And again. And again. No Joy.
    I would look for a down convert with edge crop from the camera. This will chop off the edges of your HDV frame. As mentioned above, this might have a different name, but the key is to get footage that is of the same format (DV) and aspect ration (4x3) as your GL footage. Edit in DV.
    You could import it 16x9 (black bars on top and bottom as you say) DV, blow it up so the black bars go away, and then slide it back and forth in the canvas with the motion controls in order to adjust the framing. Indeed you might have to do this if you did not shoot with 4x3 safety in mind. This is called "pan and scan" and it is how movies shot wide screen were squeezed onto our 4x3 TVs. If you have to do this your HDV footage will look quite poor. Down conversion and then scaling up is not good JuJu.
    But, if you can't find a way to play the hdv footage out DV 4x3 center cut, or crop or whatever your camera calls it, you might be forced into this scenario.
    You might try capturing the HDV the footage natively in a separate project. Drop this on a DV sequence. It will appear as a 16x9 image (black bars on the top and bottom.) Double click to load in the viewer and click the motion tab. The scale parameter will be at less than 100 percent. Scale it up until the black bars go away and your percentage is a round even number. Then export as self contained Quicktime movie. Name it HDV to 4x3DV. Reimport this into the DV project with your GL footage where you plan to edit.
    This avoids the scaling issue and does the down convert in FCP. I suspect this will look better than the alternative, but I have not tried it.
    Hope this helps.
    Best,
    Tom

  • SD 4:3 mixed with HD 16:9

    I have some old footage that I want to utilize in a current video. The original footage was shot on a Canon GL-2 at it's highest resolution (whatever that was) and at a aspect ratio of 4:3. I have the tapes of course but but other than the obvious I do not know such things as field dominance, frame rates etc. The old footage will be mixed with Canon XHA1 shot at 1440 x 1080i and footage from a Canon 5D Mk2 at 1920 x1080.
    Questions:
    1. How can I determine how the GL-2 tapes were recorded?
    2. I would like the end product to be in a aspect ratio of 16:9. Is pillar boxing my only alternative? Can I crop the 4:3 to 16:9? If so what would be the effect?
    3. What would be the best project setups in Easy Setup and Audio Video Settings?
    4. Could I edit the three formats separately in there own projects and than combine the projects into one?
    5. How would you handle these circumstances if it was your project?
    Thanks for all the input

    A DVD is standard def so there will be no advantage to working in a HD timeline. Also, upscaling DV to HD dimensions will look poor. Better to downscale the HD into a DV Anamorphic timeline.
    Your 4:3 material will pillarbox (black stripes at the sides). To compensate that, you could:
    •Blow it up and reframe to cover the screen, which will not look good.
    •Make a feature of it -put a frame around it, place it on a complimentary background of your choice or add other design elements such as split screen etc.

  • Supplying CAN devices with bus power

    Hello everyone,
    Is it possible to provide bus power to a CAN device with a PCI-CAN Series 2 card? 
    The manual is a little confusing in this matter.  Table 4-1 in the manual states that V+ is "Optional CAN power supply if bus power or external VBAT is required."  This makes me think that I can supply a CAN device with bus power from the card's internal source (as long as my jumper is configured for internal). 
    A few lines later the following statement is made: "V+ supplies bus power to the CAN physical layer if external power is required...it is not necessary to supply V+, unless you have configured the VBAT jumper for EXT."  This makes me think that V+ has nothing to do with supplying power to devices, and only with powering the bus on the card itself.
    If it is not possible to supply bus power with the NICAN card, what is the recommended method for powering a device on the same CAN network (assuming the device is not powered somewhere in its own circuitry)?
    Thanks for any help,
    Dave

    Hi Dabramsom,
    the part of the manual that I assume you are referencing is:
        "V+ supplies bus power to the CAN physical layer if external power is
        required. All High-Speed Series 2 PCI, PXI, and USB hardware is powered
        internally, so it is not necessary to supply V+, unless you have configured
        the VBAT jumper for EXT."
    The PCI-CAN/2 cards can be powered either internally or externally.
    To power the device externally the VBAT jumper should be configured for EXT,
    now your card will be powered by an external source, your card cannot be
    configured to be the source for another device. Please reference the following KnowledgeBase:
    What Do the Power Jumper Settings on the NI-CAN Cards Mean?
    As for powering your CAN device it really depends on your device; what are the power
    specifications? Can you consider using a battery?
    I hope this answers your questions.
