Monitoring problem when recording

Greetings. I have a Presonus Firebox which I'm using in conjunction with a 2.0 GHz MacBook with 2 gigs memory and Logic Express. I've run into a problem when attempting to monitor an audio (mic) input. When recording a mono source, I can only hear my signal in one side of my headphones: left if recording into input 1, right if into input 2. This is, needless to say, very disorienting. I don't have the same problem when playing back the track. While I'm currently using Logic Express, I have the same problem using the Firebox in Garageband. I did not have the problem when using Sonar 6 under Bootcamp on the same machine. I've checked all of the settings in Logic and they seem perfectly normal (proper inputs and outputs selected, mono inputs panned center, etc.).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Trent

Hey Trent,
Since your channel strip is in Mono (logic) right?
open you Presonus FireBox Mixer, and zero the
pan (mic1) or Playback to Phones or
the Mix button to phones.
regards,
Jorge

Input monitoring problem during recording

Greetings,
I recently purchased Logic Pro 9, and am having a problem with input monitoring. I am not able to in any way affect control over my monitor mix during recording. I have tried every combination of options, including software monitoring, auto-input monitoring, etc...but always get the same headphone levels from my inputs (I am actually trying to mute the input signals out completely so that I can play along to only the click.
I am wondering whether this is some sort of software glitch, because I was able to control the mix perfectly before the latest software update. I wonder if that is the problem, or if I am overlooking some minor detail. Please help!!
BTW, I have checked, and this is definitely a software, not a hardware issue...
Thanks much,
Kevin

I have a similar problem, although I'm on Logic Pro 8.
I can't seem to record my guitar track (mic'd cabinet) without having the result monitor back through my studio monitors unless I turn off software monitoring in Preferences/Audio. But then if I want to record keyboards direct and listen to what I'm playing, I have to go back in and turn the option back on.
In Sonar on the PC, this was much more intuitive. You could arm a track for recording by clicking the "R" button, and separately toggle monitoring on and off by clicking the little speaker button to the right. You didn't have to constantly fiddle with the program preferences.
I have a FireWire410 interface, and the monitoring only happens when Logic is loaded. I would have thought that the little "I" icon was to turn monitoring on and off, but it's some "pre/post-tape" toggle I can't find a use for.
Kevin, how did you control your monitor mix before?

Problem when recording from the AUX phono output using creative x-fi elite

Hello everyone?Hopefully someone will be able to help me out here, as I've tried everything, however nothing seems to work. I am using the x-fi elite pro on a windows vista ultimate PC. When recording analogue material, from a tape Dec, for instance, I am using the creative audio console which accompanies the x-fi elite pro. I am using the aux phono input on the back of the box, and everything has gone smoothly until a few days ago. When trying to record from my tape Dec this last week, I suddenly noticed that the sound was very distauted in the left channel. Right channel was fine.Of course the first thing I checked was the level, and this was absolutely fine too, both channels were set to around 50% in the sound-options control-panel. I then checked the cable and then tried it on other equipment as well, and everything was also fine here. I then re-connected it to the audio consul, but got the same results. Fine sounding audio in the right channel, but distauted in the left. I then tryed re-installing the newest vista-driver to see if this would solve my problem, however it didn't. Now I've only got audio in the right channel, but no audio at all in the left. Has somebody inhere experienced anything simurlar, and if yes, can you please tell me what could be wrong??All the best from Allan

On certain mobo/graphics card set ups and some sound cards there is an issue with bus latency. In short while playing back audio you will hear a frequent crackling of the audio. That is not the same as the slight click the Elite pro makes when changing modes. It has been a Creative issue for many years but is only present with certain combinations of hardware. I have experienced that issue myself but several years ago. My current Elite Pro/PC set up does not have this issue.

Problem when recording the data using BDC for Tcode CJ02.

Dear Experts,
When i am trying to record the data for TCODE : CJ02 i need to enter the project Definition and enter the WBS element it takes me to the screen then i should select the WBS element and attach a file for that selected WBS element . The option for me to attach the attachment of file will be available on the application area(Services for the Object).
Now the problem when i try to do recording in SHDB this option like create attachement is not visible in the recodring . Kindly suggest me what can i do such that i attach the file for the particular project def and WBS element.
Either suggest any function module or other procedure .......
Regards,
Sana.

Hi,
in BDC each and every action is recording. If your press enter in same screen that also recorded once aging may be this is your case repeating field values will appear. we can solve the problem for repeat fields like below.
suppose in your excel having repeated field X1 X2 X3 the X2 contains repeated field X3 means delete the X3 field.
Now In your itab having X1 and X2 fields. While in the LOOP the ITAB pass the X2 field to repeated the fields.
LOOP at ITAB to WA.
CLEAR bdcdata_wa.
bdcdata_wa-fnam = 'BDC_CURSOR'.
bdcdata_wa-fval = 'RM08M-EBELN'.
APPEND bdcdata_wa TO bdcdata_tab.
CLEAR bdcdata_wa.
bdcdata_wa-fnam = 'INVFO-BLDAT'.
bdcdata_wa-fval = wa-X2." 1st time pass the X2 fields
APPEND bdcdata_wa TO bdcdata_tab.
CLEAR bdcdata_wa.
bdcdata_wa-fnam = 'INVFO-BLDAT'.
bdcdata_wa-fval = wa-X2." pass the same value to repeated field
APPEND bdcdata_wa TO bdcdata_tab.
Endloop.
Hope you can understand.

Realtek HD audio problem when recording

Hello guys;
Been trying to do some recording for the first time since the OC was rebuilt. New specs as below.
(By the way, I couldn't get any sound at all until I reinstalled the UAA bus driver..., so it's thanks to this forum that I got sound in the first place!)
Anyway, the problem I now have is that basically the record level is way too high. I use Steinberg Clean 5.0 and was finding that although I could change the levels in the software, whatever level I recorded at I was suffering extreme amounts of clipping/distortion. (I should mention that the input is from a good quality hifi, I used it for many years for recording with my previous PC incarnation using my KT6 delta rig).
After much trial and error, I found that the only way to stop this is to have the recording sound level in volume set to - well it isn't numbered - it would be about 10%. I also discovered that although master recording level is adjustable the others - CD, mic, line, mix are greyed out.
The master level is really difficult to set (as I write I just discovered it's still distorting and I'll have to edged it down another couple of % towards zero), so I really want to change the "line" record level, but as I said it's greyed out.
In Realtek sound manager it's similar, in the record section there's an overall level control but no individual adjustments for record, only playback.
Incidentally playback works just fine!
Realtek drivers are latest 5.10.0.5928 downloaded yesterday from Realtek.
Anyone got any ideas please?

I think the audio out must be fine as it works just fine for general listening to CDs, LPs (!!), whatever played from the hifi. No distortion even with volume level (in "volume control") set at 100% It's only the record level that's weird :-)
I'll try the headfone thing later, just trying to record something now!
Sorry, I'm not sure if this will help, as I haven't used Realtek HD audio for some time (always used add-in cards). But in my experience, most sound controllers have an option in mixer to select the recording source (e.g. Mic In, Line In, S/PDIF-In, Wave, CD, etc). In particular, many offer a recording source option for "What you hear" or "Stereo Mix". Essentially, this would combine and capture the audio from every available source, rather than from just a single source. I'm guessing it's a long shot but maybe you could change your recording source to this "mix" type (hopefully, something similar is available). To reduce noise you'll probably want to MUTE other sources (Wave, MIDI, CD, etc.), though you could leave them enabled as well (try to avoid things that would inject noise).
I'm only suggesting this approach because you mention that the playback from your hifi is completely fine. Only recording from line-in is distorted. So perhaps, you can work around the problem by recording the mixed playback. It shouldn't make any sense for this to be happening but maybe you'll be lucky?? My (worst-case) thought is that maybe your realtek HD's ADC is damaged and therefore playback is flawless but recording is flawed...
Another thought I had is mixer settings are often stored within an ini file. If you or someone else could identify the file(s), then you should be able to view, and in turn, modify the numeric playback and recording levels. That should aide you in adjusting the levels more precisely, rather than guessing levels via the obscure gui sliders.
It may turn out that none of my ideas are helpful, but I wish you good luck all the same.

LOGIC PRO - problem when recording guitar

Hi,
So I am having the following problem as I plug in my guitar in the interface (yamaha) and then into logic pro. I manage to record in the AUDIO track for some time, about a minute or so, and then I always hear a strange scratching sound and the guitar suddenly stops recording. I have tried it over and over and it always happens. I thought it was because the PHANTOM button on the interface was on, but even when I turn it off it still happens.
does anybody know what I am talking about and what is the solution to this problem?
thank you.

these things didn't work. I think that the problem also has to do with the interface on my guitar (not sure it's called that way. What I mean by it is the electronic little box ON THE GUITAR that works as a tuner and needs to be turned on when you are connected to a speaker), because that's what turns off as I am recording. so I am wondering, is there a way to record the guitar without having that little box thing turned on, by any chance? the yamaha is a AUDIOGRAM3
thanks!

Pitch problems when recording

I am running OS 10.4.9
I am using GarageBand 3.0.4
DigiCore Audio Manager 7.0
I'm using a Sennheiser 416 microphone and an Mbox.
The mic is not the problem.
When I record my voice in GarageBand I sound like a monster. This has not always been the case. It started suddenly and intermittently. It records my voice very deep (I'm a woman) and scratchy and quietly. It's become pretty much all the time now. One time I recorded with no problem, shut the laptop, and when I came back again and opened the computer it only recorded the monster voice. I'm not using any effects.
Any ideas what the problem is?
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi, Joanna,
I was asking about the model because there is the original Mbox, and what they call the Mbox 2 family, which consists of several models. Sounds like you have the original.
Anyway, you probably did this, but just in case you didn't:
Using Digidesign Mbox with GarageBand
Another possibility is a problem cured by the firmware update on this page.
Look for "Mbox Firmware Updater v22 for Mac OS X". The problem is white noise that definitely wouldn't help a vocal.
If those aren't the problem, you might try using Disk Utility to repair your system permissions,
and you might try trashing your GarageBand Preference files (don't worry, it will replace them; you can reset any prefs to what they were in the app)
Search for the two files:
com.apple.garageband.cs
and
com.apple.garageband.plist
and discard them.
They are in /Library/Preferences/ or in user/Library/Preferences/.
Hope something helps,
WH [:c)~

HP C410 and monitor problem when open online site.

When I open my HP C410 in the on line site, the color on my monitor gets funky and in turn the color on my home screen is also skewed. This only happens when I bring up this software. I've looked for places to change color and intensity within the program for the monitor, but don't see anything. This distorts so much that I can't read the pages that I scan in. This changed in the last couple months and is driving me nuts.

Hello @Anita46,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you're experiencing issues when viewing your HP Photosmart Premium Fax e-All-in-One C410 Printer on the on line site on your Windows XP computer. I would like to assist you today with resolving this issue. However, I do need to clarify a few things before I am able to provide you with accurate troubleshooting.
1. Are you able to Copy successfully?
If you're not sure, please click here for instructions on how to Copy. I would like you to perform a Colour Copy to see if the quality comes out distorted.
If your Colour Copy prints perfectly than can I have you elaborate on exactly what occurs when you scan a document into your computer?
2. When your monitor appears distorted, I need you to elaborate on what you mean by it occuring on the Photosmart C410 site?
I need to confirm exactly what is occuring as a distorted monitor colours issues is significantly different than a Photosmart C410 scan issue. Once I confirm exactly what is occuring I will be able to guide you towards the correct resolution. I look forward to hearing from you!

Quicktime Pro audio synchronization problem when recording

My hardware is an Intel Based Macbook Pro with the latest Quicktime Pro S/W.
I have just upgraded to Quicktime Pro and I am trying to record video from a DV source (Canon camera acting in AV in/DV out mode). The problem I am experiencing is that the video and audio are out of sync by around 1 second, th sound seems to be in advance of the video.
Are there any setting which will affect this?
Has anyone been able to solve a similar problem?

I don't know what causes the problem, but I can give you a way to solve it:
Open your DV file with latest version 3.0 of SimpleMovieX and open the tools panel, go to Audio, and resynchronize it.
The do save, either as mov or reexport as dv format, depending on your workflow.

CP4 Freezes Machine when recording screens

Hi - I'm using CP4 on a new machine which is 64 Bit Win7 with Office 2010.
Previously I ran CP4 on 32 Bit Win XP with Office 2007 without any problems.
However, since I have upgraded I am experiencing problems when recording. This seems to be worse when recording Office 2010 screens or when any Office 2010 programs (like Outlook) are running.
When I'm lucky the recording just stops working - the print screen key doesn't work, the end key doesn't work but I can still click the CP icon in the system tray to return to Captivate.
When I'm unlucky my entire computer freezes and no keys work, even Ctl + Alt + Delete and I have to force a shutdown.
I've had a look in the event viewer and this seems to be the problem:
Event ID: 80
Source: Sidebyside
Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 4\AdobeCaptivate.exe".Error in manifest or policy file "" on line . A component version required by the application conflicts with another component version already active. Conflicting components are:. Component 1: C:\Windows\WinSxS\manifests\amd64_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0. 7600.16385_none_fa645303170382f6.manifest. Component 2: C:\Windows\WinSxS\manifests\x86_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.76 00.16385_none_421189da2b7fabfc.manifest.
Unfortunately I don't really understand what this means or how I can solve it.
Just posting this in hopes that it means something to someone.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Best,
Aimee

I'm just including the information here in hopes that it will help other users working with CP4 and Win 7 or considering this option.
I have had major issues with this and was back and forth with Adobe Support for three months.
In the end they produced this:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/827/cpsid_82758.html
(notice it only mentions 64 bit)
But at the beginning of the process they said that Adobe Captivate was compatible with Win7. Several technicians I spoke to also told me it was and in my case notes the technician indicated that this was new information to him so I think I was an early case of the problems which can arise.
It does seem from my experience that the issue with Win7 is more severe with 64 bit. My colleagues are working with 32 bit and while they experience some strange quirks (can't open cp files via the recent items etc) they are able to record using Win7 and CP4. I will be getting a new 32 bit Win 7 image to see if this rectifies the problem. Perhaps the 64 bit image also explains the issues I had with the CP5 trial.
So for what it's worth anyone considering upgrading or experiencing problems I'd advise against the 64 bit version of Win7 together with Adobe eLearning Suite. I hope this message will perhaps save you from the trials I've experienced in the last four months trying to work this out.
All the best and happy captivating!

Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro in Vista x64: "Skipping" (Distortion) when record

Hi! I've just setup Vista x64 and installed the latest Drivers for my Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro. Besides the fact that there's no software available for convenient control of the features of my soundcard (Surround Mixer, Speaker Settings, THX Console etc.), everything is fine for playback (after adjusting the bass and treble-sliders to their 0dB-Position!). But I've got a massive problem when recording audio, or when using the microphone: I can play back sound from any source without distortion, but when recording it or using the microphone for VoIP-Applications like Skype, Teamspeak or In-game communication, I get a constant "skipping" distortion like the clicking when a CD is defective and skips.
It sounds like short disruptions which come at regular, very short intervals (approx. 0 per second or so). This effect is always present, irrespective of the load situation of the system and does not change with it. In XP32, my Audigy 2ZS still works like a charme. Furthermore, I've got a "PCI Input Device" in Device Manager with a question mark, although the Firewire-Port does work. Could this be the Gameport not beeing recognised But that's not nearly as problematic as the flaw from above... Thanks in advance for your advice!

I'd like to also add that I have been observing this same problem for quite some time now. While I do not frequently have a need to record, that is changing now and I would rather not have to reboot to Windows XP in order to have functional recording capabilities.
I am currently running a dual-boot configuration of Windows XP/SP2 and Windows Vista Ultimate 64-Bit/SP, with the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum soundcard, and the latest drivers available for the card as of today's date (0/7/2008).
A clip of audio to illustrate the problem may be heard by saving and playing the MP3 file found at http://ambress.com/audigy/audio_recording_fault.mp3. The following graphic also illustrates how the sound is like a series of recorded pulses, making recording completely useless.
I would greatly appreciate any feedback confirming this problem by Creative and what solution is available or when one is to be expected. If a solution is known by any users that perhaps I have missed in searching the forum, of course I'd be grateful for that help as well.
Thank you,
Daryl

Hello, I have a Mac computer with NVIDIA 750M dedicated graphics card and monitor EIZO but the problem was there when I was working with Windows and Acer monitor. When I open a file from Camera Raw in PS this is smaller than the screen so I double-click with the tool "hand" to fit on the screen, but the picture loses sharpness and becomes blurry. If you magnify the image even only slightly with the tool "zoom" the picture comes back clear. In Camera Raw instead is always sharp. I solve the problem by turning off the graphics card in PS but often use plugin that need the graphics card otherwise the processing time is much longer. I ask for help.
Thanks.

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?
