Monitoring Audio

I'm doing my first HD project (AVCHD footage from a Panasonic HMC 150). I've been a DV junkie up till now, so my entire hardware setup is NTSC. I used to monitor video out via Firewire to a Canopus ADVC110 and also audio to a pair of M-Audio speakers.
Now that I cannot output video without a device upgrade and new monitor, is there a way for me to output the audio still, so that I can do my audio sweetening with more clarity? Or does audio always follow video?
Thanks!

OK, I selected "external video" and selected "all frames" and now I hear the sound. I pulled up a Standard Def project and tested to see if I was getting audio and wasn't at first until I selected "all frames".
Heee .... well obviously (or not) you have you have to turn on "All Frames" otherwise you're not sending anything out to your External Playback device at all ie All Frames = ON.
All I got was video footage that was hiccuping all over the place.
Yes, that is likely as your system is trying (and failing) to keep up with the realtime transcode from the sequence codec to DV video for output ... but as noted above, although the video transcode may not keep up, audio should not have any such problem.
Thanks so much for your help!!!
It's my pleasure.

  • How do you monitor audio?

    I have a few questions about monitoring audio in my fcp/stp projects.
    Currently, I have a g5 quad that has an optical toslink output, that I use to connect to the optical in on a good denon home theater receiver (avr 3801). This is how i output my mac's audio. I have two B&W bookshelf speakers as my monitor speakers.
    Is this acceptable to use to monitor my sound for my editing projects? I am not doing much music work, mostly just voice track cleanup on my video projects.
    How do you connect audio equipment in your setup to monitor audio?
    I am thinking of buying an Alesis 12 track multimix firewire mixer, is this a better interface to use and do I route the signal from the multimix to the receiver to get to the speakers, or should I just get powered monitor speakers and connect them to the mixer?
    Also, when editing audio, which is mostly dialogue, is there a volume setting I should keep my receiver at and just work the levels in stp to get the volume right? My receiver has a volume level from -60Db to 0 to 18Db. I am worried about setting my project audio to high or too low.

    Giving advice such as saying <Your B & W speakers might be good enough for the job, their lineage is as a studio monitor for the BBC. If you paid over $500/pr, and they sound good, then they're probably good enough. You can use them with a mixer hooked-up to your Mac and outputted to the Denon like in your current set-up> is so cool, if that was the case would,nt you think for a quick minute they would be recomended by pro or advertise as nearfield monitor and not hi-fi.
    <conveinient to buy active monitors.> that ain't the case active monitors are made for monitor audio interms of listening to frequency that would be imposible to hear on hi-fi speakers which is the opposite of hi-fi which is more colour-full and does'nt give the true sound, also because its self-power and easy to plug and play.
    <The playback volume you use is relative. Most of the engineers I've worked with over the past 30 years prefer to listen back at higher volumes> most pro enginineer listen to mix at very low D.B so as to know exactly what there getting, and after crank them up to hear the over-all levels, any engineer that linsten at loud D.B. does that to show off in seeking attention fr. clients making them feel as if the mix or the song is all that, take it outside the studio and its a different story! <listen back at higher volumes than I'm comfortable with,> thats what i have just explain.
    <As far as the levels within the track are concerned, that is all done in the software, again per your preferences, and with an eye on the meters.> it would be nice of you to explain what meter are you talking about, and if it was all so easy with eyes on the meter, dont you think every mixing engineer or anyone attempting to mix would all were glasses, meter in sofware aren't the same as the meters in a pro studio, nor is it the same in hardware, also not all meters are the same where as mixing is concern, they are special meters prefreable know as V.U. meters, check below and you'll all get a better understanding of what i have just out-line, before giving wrong advice of monitor audio.

  • How do I monitor audio while importing?

    While importing from my cable TV, I Can see the incoming video but caan't hear the audio. I would be helpful if I could here the audio so I could go about my work and keep an ear on the feed. Then I would know when the feed is over without having to Constantly watch it. I suppose I could size the monitor windo real small and put it in the corner of my screen then rearrange all working windows arround it. But that's a pain...

    How do I monitor audio while importing?
    Use iMovie HD or Vidi to import files to your computer. Both allow audio monitoring. iMoveie '08 does not.

  • Anyone knows if i-deck from Monitor Audio produces problems to the battery?

    Hi, I got an ipod nano 4th generation and, when connected to Monitor Audio i-deck ipod shows a message saying "firewire battery charge is not possible" or something like that, what I am wondering is if ipod battery could have problems because of this when connected to i-deck to listen to it...
    THANKS!
    ps. I also have a fifth gen. classic ipod which do charges its battery on the i-deck... go figure!

    Ahh, a very common problem. The reason the fourth gen nano displays the "cannot charge through firewire" message is just that. All the other models of iPods charge through a firewire connection and the new fourth generation nano does not charge through a firewire connection.

  • Using IPod Classic with Monitor Audio IDECK

    This past year I have purchased an 80G IPod as well as an IDECK from Monitor Audio. I have been unable to get my IPod to play on this system yet my wife's old 20G IPod does work on it. According to the paperwork with the IDECK, my IPod needs to have a version of 2.2 or greater. Mine only show a version of 1.2.1. How do I upgrade the version to 2.2 or greater? I have been unable to find any downloads that will do this.

    You can't get software version 2.2 for your Classic because it doesn't exist.
    It's referring to software for older iPods, not the Classic.
    There have been many, many reports on this forum and others about the fact that the new iPod Classic will not work with existing 3rd party docks, and it seems that this is the case with the iDeck.
    You should contact Monitor Audio and ask when they plan to make their deck compatible with the new iPods.

    Hi chuckcox!
    Thanks for posting.
    There is not a port on the EOS 70D that allows headphones to be connected for monitoring audio.  However, the camera does have an HDMI port, which carries an audio signal.  You can send the HDMI signal to an external monitor that does allow you to connect headphones and monitor the audio.

  • Monitoring audio and midi

    Hello,
    I am a Logic Newbie and am having specific problems trying to record and monitor audio and midi. I have 2 USB ports on my computer. One is used for my Logic Key, and the other for a audio instrument lightsnake cable (1/4 inch to USB). Here is where my problem occurs. I can record audio and/or MIDI, but I cannot hear anything on the monitor playback. My problem is instantly solved the moment I unplug in the light snake cable, where every plays back correcty. I checked my input and output settings in Logic and through my system preferences and everything is set at where they should or at least where I think they should be. Any hint as to what I am doing wrong or how I can remedy the problem? Thank you
    macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Presumably you are trying to record from one interface (the USB audio thing) and playback through a different interface (your computer's system audio).
    That's a problem, as in general Core Audio only deals with one audio interface at a time.
    Fear not, there is a solution. Open your Audio/MIDI setup utility, create an "Aggregate Device", and add your system driver and your USB thing driver to it.
    Back in Logic, select the aggregate device you created as the audio interface in Logic, and now all your inputs and outputs will show up, so you can record from whatever inputs the USB thing show up on, and output to whatever your normal system outputs to.

  • Monitoring Audio Track(s) in Viewer

    Hi
    Is there a way to monitor audio in the viewer in the way you can solo tracks in the timeline?
    My clips have 4 audio channels and i would just like to monitor (for example) track 1.
    Anyone got ideas ?
    Thanks for your help.

    open the audio mixer window (opt-6) set Source to Auto in the top right of that window
    in Auto, you can control audio from the active source be it the viewer or timeline/canvas from there

  • Monitoring audio in sync with video when capturing in FCP studio

    Is there a way I can monitor audio in sync with video when capturing in FCP Studio? I know you can plug headphones into your tape deck but that sound is not in sync with the video in the capture window due to time delay. I tried plugging the headphones into my Powerbook but could not get any audio coming through these, nor audio through the Mac's inbuilt speakers.

    The preview checkbox is ticked and the audio monitor indicates that sound is being picked up (the levels rise and fall) but I still can't hear anything! The audio/video sync on the external monitor is ok, but because there is a time delay between that and the video capture window, I can't use that as a reliable monitor for sound sync. If I could resolve the video sync problem there, then I could monitor the sound through the external monitor.

  • I am having a problem configuring Audition to allow me to monitor audio with a bluetooth headphone.

    I have several bluetooth headsets and I normally have no problem pairing and connecting them to various computers, but I attempted to pair a headset with my laptop running Audition last evening. The transport froze with the play button changed to green. I could not get it to play. When I replaced the bluetooth device with a pair of wired headphones, I was able to get everything to work as normal, other than the fact that I was tethered to my machine.
    Is there a proper way to specify to Audition that I would like to route the monitor audio through a bluetooth device?
    While the Audition output was failing, I was still able to hear system alerts and various other sounds through the bluetooth device, just not the Audition output, which is what I was working on.
    I see some chatter on the forums, but not a lot of solutions for this sort of thing.
    By the way, I was using a MacBook Pro from 2012 with 16G with OS X.8.5.

  • Monitoring audio input through USB mic; lags

    Hi,
    I've been trying to monitor my own voice in headphones when recording into Garageband, however I find the slight lag to be most distracting (I'm reading a script for a voiceover). Is there a way to have the monitored audio stay in real time, so as not to have that annoying lag? I've experienced similar issues using other software (like Adobe Soundbooth). Is the lag simply an aspect of all digital audio recording, or can I monitor in real time?
    Thanks,
    Vic

    it IS a part of digital audio, but whether or not it's perceptible depends on all the hardware involved. without buying new hardware there are two things to do.
    make sure things are optimized:

    and if that isn't sufficient, only wear your cans over ONE ear, and do not use GB's monitor.

  • Problems monitoring audio with a m-audio Firewire 410 card

    So I have a M-Audio 410 hooked up through the firewire port on my G5, But it geeks out (audio turns to loud noise, strange defects, spinning ball of slowness appears) everytime I try to monitor audio out of final cut, also when I play LARGE quicktime files!!! The card works fine for all other applications I have on my mac, Cubase, iTunes etc... Anyone else have heard of this, or know what to try. I have most of my video on an external drive, a LACIE media drive, which is my only option as I am working with large amounts of video.
    I am thinking this is an issue with the bandwith of firewire on the computer. Maybe too much information between the audio card, and accessing the drive through the other firewire port. Any thoughts?

    Hello, I was just about to post the following when I saw your recent post, Wondering if you ever found a solution for what you're running into? (BTW, I went to UO a looooong time ago. Go Ducks!)
    We'd like enhance the audio end of our edit suite and are thinking of adding an "FireWire 410" from m-audio for I/O. And ProTools.
    But we've read here and there in forums that there may be a problem with Firewire I/O (and maybe the m-audio "FireWire 410" in particular?) and confusion with decks like the DSR-11, etc. Disturbs the video on an external broadcast monitor.
    One note: we don't think we'd necessarily be sending audio from the DSR-11 to the "FireWire 410" (and on to headphones and speakers) via firewire.
    Anyone out there using FCP and the "FireWire 410" who could comment?
    Thanks,
    Brad

  • Is it possible to monitor audio through my mac while capturing from a tape in FCPX

    I am sure that as you import a tape you will hear the audio as well as see the video.
    Have you got FCP X?

  • Surround /mixing and monitoring audio interface

    Dear forum,
    I am searching for an audio interface to use with MBP or G5 for mixing and monitoring of four to 6 outputs channels into PMC active speakers. I am using a Lavry DA 11 DAC for stereo monitoring. I do not require an interface with inputs for recording music as all my recording is done away from my macs, it just the outputs i need to monitor audio I have loaded to computer via CF card. All the interfaces I see have loads of inputs I don't require. Is there an interface available without inputs?
    Or I am looking at the wrong sort of device?
    regards

    You need an interface that has 8 outputs. Most of these include 8 or more inputs as well. The inputs will not be a problem when mixing, you can ignore them.
    I have yet to see an interface that is only outputs.

  • Unable to monitor audio during capture

    I'm using FCP6 to capture footage shot with a JVC GY-HD100U at HDV 720p24. I'm using a JVC BR-HD50 deck to capture from, connected to my MacPro 3 GHz quad via firewire.
    In the Audio/Video Setting dialog box, the Sequence Preset is "HDV 720P24". My Capture Preset is "HDV", Device Control Preset "HDV FireWire". Video Playback shows "[Missing] Apple Firewire NTSC (720 x 480)" and offers only the options of None and Digital Cinema Desktop Preview–Main as alternate choices. Both HDV options are greyed out. The Audio Playback option is set to Default.
    With this setup, controlling the deck remotely from the capture window, I get video but no audio. The only audio I get is when the deck is connected to my video monitor and I use it to monitor the output of the deck. The audio is there when I play back the clips after capture but I cannot monitor the sound with the computer's speakers. If I go to the A/V Devices tab, under Video, it shows the same "[Missing] Apple Firewire NTSC (720 x 480) with the same choices described above, and the Options button next to it doesn't do anything.
    Can anyone think of anything I've missed in the initial setup?

    Keith,
    For whatever reason (perhaps the intense processor needs) HDV does not allow you to monitor your audio during capture. The computer just will not do it. What I have done, if I really want to hear what's happening durning capture, is plug my speakers into the headphone jack of my XL H1. Due to the processing that's going on, the audio "lags" behind the video by a couple of seconds.
    I'm pretty sure this is not a setup problem, but just a limitation due to the nature of your format.
    Hope that helps!
