Monitoring sound for capture

Hello -
I have read through a few posts with similar dilemmas regarding how to monitor sound while capturing/logging. I now know I'm not going deaf.
I have a Sony DSR-20 deck and will be soon changing that to a DSR-11 deck, and was planning to log shot-by-shot and then batch dig each tape. Obviously during interview footage I need to hear the sound.
I also have temporary use of an NTSC monitor on loan, but I can't figure out how to hook up speakers to that. I don't have the right speakers, obviously, just my old ones with those red/white wires that I have on my ANCIENT stereo system.
Should I invest in new speakers or just hook up my television to the deck? I know it's not perfect (that's ancient too). I am going crazy not being able to start this process since I only have this deck for a week or so.
As a side note, I know that can instead import each full tape one by one and then go back and make subclips, hearing the sound at that point after the media has been captured. I'm not entirely clear on that process, whether you delete the original media and recapture based on your subclips, but that's for another post.
I sound muddled and I am muddled. Any help will be so appreciated.

thank you.
I had read in an earlier post about it being better to listen to the audio off the VTR, not the computer, but I will try your suggestion as well. I just don't want to overtax my Powerbook G4 as I log and capture.
Any other input?
(quoted below, submitted last January by Studio X)
When you download a video file from your camera, FCP and, more to the point, Quicktime is working furiously to split the muxed DV stream into distinct audio and video components. Though they stay within the same file wrapper, they are transcoded into unique components.
The point of this is to explain that the computer (CPU, RAM, ect) are working very hard to do this conversion. Now, to ask the computer to figure out and play the audio while you are converting it just simply adds more CPU/RAM overhead to A VERY TIME SENSITIVE process. The conversion MUST happen in real time or frames are dropped.
This is why it is highly recommended that you monitor your audio on speakers attached to your VTR not through your computer. It is also why FCP gives such a low res and slow refresh on the video component.

  • Can I use a Bluetooth headphone/microphone for capture sound instead of normal iPhone mic when shooting video?

    Can I use a Bluetooth headphone/microphone for capture sound instead of normal iPhone mic when shooting video?
    The sound when I record video is not so good, so I'm trying to use the Bluetooth headphone/microphone to capture a person voice but not know which setting to use.

    Hi Robert
    Thanks for answering. I didn't know where to post other than the bluetooth forum which is relatively quiet and had no answers forthcoming.
    Yes the voice isn't reaching the amp although it is registering on the input bar in the Sound System Prefs, just won't "play through" as it were. I can't see how it could be done I was just hoping someone might see something I am missing.
    It seems a shame that you can't do it as iTunes on an old iBook makes a good juke box for DJ'ing and with everything becoming wireless these days it seems sensible that you could cut that one last wire.

  • I am considering buying a new MAC laptop to run LOGIC for composition and band live/recording, but which one is best as I do not want to spend too much money? Does it have a line in and how do you monitor sound? Will I need adaptors and a interface?

    Can anybody help?

    Also, I am guessing as Logic only runs on MAC surely then they would not the best spec to recommend to run it?
    I see all the upgrades as additional memory or a faster process?
    Is a retina screen necessary, and why flash based storage against a 1TB hard drive, and a i5 instead of an i7
    The main reason for this purchase is to play live and use backing tracks and record found sounds and make creative songs.
    I hope you can provide some valuable feedback, as I am a longtime MAC user and see upgrades and changes happen regularly but the most important thing is the songs not the equipment.
    I have £500 already and willing to add another 500 to 700 pounds, then software extra.

  • Monitoring Sound does one get a monitor for sound? Thanks.

    In iMovie 08, I have two inputs, iSight camera (old stand alone model) and a fw analog to digital input. I record, and I hear sound on play back, but not when I am recording. How Can I turn on the monitor sound? BTW, sound is not muted in the Project window, as all sounds play when I hit the Play button. Thank you.

    The old iMovie imported only from dv based firewire devices, and imported in real time, so playing the sound made sense on import.
    The new iMovie imports from additional devices that require conversion of highly compressed formats during the import process. These include MPEG2 and AVCHD files on SDHC cards, Hard Drives, and DVD based camcorders. These new devices do not necessarily import in real time. They mostly take a lot longer than real time, but in theory, they could also be quicker than real time if you had a fast enough processor.
    So...once you are not importing in real time, playing the sound doesn't make sense. They don't play sound on import for anything (real-time or non-real time) probably for simplicity and to avoid confusion.

  • Monitoring sound from HP Dreamcolor Z24x

    Hi,
         I have recently purchased an HP Dreamcolor Z24x and would like to monitor sound from my Avid editing system while playing picture over the Dreamcolor.  
        Previously, I would play audio on my computer and monitor it via external speakers attached to an Avid Fast Track Duo sound card.  However, with the HP Dreamcolor attached to my computer (via a Blackmagic Mini Monitor) I am no longer to hear any audio from the computer.
         I am assuming that I need to monitor the audio after it has been fed from the blackmagic card into the HP Dreamcolor, but am unsure of how to do this.  Is anyone able to help me figure out how to monitor my sound?  Many thanks.

    Hello John,
    For not having sound sometimes from the speakers, until you disable the audio enhancement. I would first like to confirm if you have tried this update for your audio drivers 'IDT High-Definition (HD) Audio Driver'.
    I have also included the document 'No Sound from Speakers (Windows 8)'. I would suggest following through all the steps in this document. Does the Troubleshooting Tool find any issues, or does everything pass?
    Looking forward to hearing from you.

  • 'BBPSC11' error in Monitor SC for one User having multiple positions but on

    Hello,
    'BBPSC11' error in Monitor SC for one User - having multiple positions in org structure - but having one BP code associated to all positions.
    We have one BP ID associated to multiple positions of the same user - in multiple org structure.
    The org unit is refered as one Project and like wise we have multiple projects people worked on.
    Once the Proj is over we move the Users from one Proj (Org unit) to another Proj, with new Position created copying the old and associate old BP code to it.
    With this when we go for Monitor SC option - enter User ID in Created By field - old SC are listed but we are getting error if we click on the Detail icon.
    Error:The Internet Transaction Server could not start the transaction "BBPSC11" because of the following error: Attribute for user contains errors. Inform systemadmin. .

    Hi,
    Pl. verify the user with txn-bbp_attr_check. It could be that the org. relationship of the user changed with what was captured on shopping cart. Also use txn-users_gen to repair the user.

  • SCEP 2012 System Center Monitoring Pack for Linux v4.5.10.1 Problem

    Hi Everyone!
    We are having a problem with OpsMgr 2012 R2 and the System Center Monitoring Pack for SCEP 2012 for Linux v4.5.10.1.  We have successfully deployed the Linux OpsMgr 2012 R2 agent to our test CentOS 6.5 VM as well as SCEP 2012 v4.5.10.1.  We have
    imported the System Center Monitoring Pack for SCEP 2012 for Linux management packs into OpsMgr 2012 R2 which is successfully discovering SCEP on our Linux VM, but when looking at the details for the monitor, it indicates that SCEP is "not found"
    as seen in the following screen shot...
    As seen in the following screen shots, everything else seems to be installed, configured, and working properly...
    Any assistance or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
    Regards,
    JJ

    Magnus_001 (big ups) and I were able to get discovery to stop failing on the Linux side of things, but the SCOM MP is still highly problematic.  Their pdf guides for SCEP implementation on Linux has a bunch of typos and errors -- for example, listing
    '/bin/sh' instead of '/bin/bash', and one of the lines (the one that includes "export LANG=C" won't run no matter what.  When we disassembled the SCOM MP, we found that there's an extraneous space at the end of the command, current thought is
    that that's causing a regex to fail within sudo.  All of their commands, from what I can tell, need to be specified as NOPASSWD within sudo; if you see errors about ssh-askpass with that you can confirm that there are likely typos in their guide sourced
    from the pdf.  We eventually allowed '/bin/bash' to get the programs to run since we couldn't get a regex match to catch their command (which should be in a script).  We are out of failures that we can discover with logging on the Linux side; it's
    likely to be an error within the MP at this point.
    When we look at the powershell script in the MP library, the "not found" error is the default state, set immediately after stdout is captured from the discovery script.  I'm guessing that there's some problem interaction between that script
    and the parsing thereof, as when we run the script locally as root we see the output that we'd expect. For all I know that's a line ending or locale problem.
    Troubleshooting on the linux end is problematic, as instead of distributing a script to check on the linux side (which makes the sudo part of things much easier), the script is hard-coded within the MP.  From what I understand it would need to be disassembled
    and recompiled to change.
    The snippet below may be of use to someone for use in their sudoers file, it will make the checks work on the linux side at least.  I wouldn't recommend this for anything beyond testing, as specifying that an account can run a full bash shell as root
    without a password is a terrible idea.
    #replace scomactionaccount with whatever your scom action account is called
    User_Alias SCOM = scomactionaccount
    Runas_Alias SCOM = root
    SCOM ALL = (SCOM) NOPASSWD: /opt/microsoft/scx/bin/scxlogfilereader -p
    SCOM ALL = (SCOM) NOPASSWD: /bin/bash

  • No sound while capturing video

    how do i get audio (sound) while capturing video. I know about audio scrubbing and canvas playback for editing but while capturing video I am not getting sound.

    During capturing, sound will not play through your computer's speakers. Many cameras will play it through their internal speakers or you can connect external speakers directly to your camera

  • Qosmio G40 - How do I monitor sound input?

    I have installed Adobe Audition on my Qosmio G40 but have been unable to monitor sound input or get Auditon to record. (It used to work fine on my xp pc) I have been able to record sound but cannot listen to it as its 'going in'. I also tried to install an external sound card: CREATIVE EXTIGY but cannot get the laptop to recognise that it is installed.
    Can EXTIGY work with my laptop?
    How do I monitor sound input?
    The installed sound card is Realtek
    Advice welcome.
    Sean.

    I presume you mean the menu when you right-click the volume control icon on the desktop toolbar. It does list the input devices and when a mini jack input is connected the simulated led lights respond to the volume of the input. I can record from the line input but I cannot hear it as it is going in. In other words it records it silently but plays it back okay.
    The device manager declares that the sound card is working without problems,
    Somehow I want to be able to hear the input as it is being recorded and I have not been able to find out how yet. Some people have been telling me that it is a vista problem. Others say that its the laptop manufacturers who set up the laptop so that when recording line input the sound is disabled to prevent feedback from the external mic on the laptop.
    Either way I am a bit astonished that I cannot resolve this problem and it is not a problem that has been mentioned before when you consider how many thousands of people are buying Toshiba laptops !!
    A few days ago I emailed Realtek but have not held my breathe for a reply.
    Its looking like I might have to uninstall vista and reinstall xp to solve this problem.

  • Lenovo L420 THINKPAD starts with a constant long beeping sound for atleast 1 min.

    From few days my laptop starts with a long beeping sound for atleast more than 1 min, then comes a boot order option. I have no idea whats wrong with it,last time when it happened i had to change my harddisk. Guys anyone with expert ideas please help me,and as fast possible.

    Nope. Not using a dock at all. I have to mention tho', that the machine already visited an authorized service. The motherboard was replaced, because it didn't recognise the power brick and refused to charge the laptop.
    I'm guessing they didn't put it back together properly. Since I posted I checked the cpu / gpu temps and the cpu temps rise to 80-90 C just when I do a simple operation like delete a larger folder. I tried to turn on bluetooth to copy some stuff from my phone yesterday and for some reason it acted like i pressed fn+f4.  Went to sleep. I pressed fn+f5 just for the record, but after a few times doing this, I found that no matter what fn combo I press it goes to sleep. I have to press the power button again to bring it back. Started playing piano on the rest of the keyboard and same thing. Going to sleep. The lcd went in off mode and disappeared from both the bios and device manager. I was back at square one again seeing my desktop only on the external monitor.
    I suspect the tech guys who fixed it didn't put something back right + the fact that the cpu is so hot lets me believe that the thermal paste was not applied right.
    I still don't get why all the hardware self test pass. Maybe I should do a stress test? Or should I just send it back to service?

  • Strange Constant HD Access Sounds for no reason??

    Well, i just upgraded my system From....
    MB: Asus AM266-D
    CPU:  Dual Athlon MP 2400+
    RAM: 1 Gig Ram
    Controller: Promis SATA controller,
    HDs: Western Digital Raptor 74gig SATA
           Maxtor 300gig SATA2
    To:
    MB: Platinum powerup V2
    CPU:Core 2 Duo EN6600,
    RAM: 2 Gig crosshair 800mhz, (pc6400)
    PS: Enermax liberty 620w
    VGA: Ati X1950XT (saphire)
    HD: Same as Before
    Problem... Strange Very Annoying Constant HD Access.
    First everything is all good, so i boot into my previous windows install from my other system, it updates all the drivers and i notice the thing is messed up, the HD access is slow and seems like its working harder than usual.... Turns out this was due to it being in IDE Mode, so i did a re-install of windows anyway in ACHI or whatever it is and installed the proper drivers, for the Intel SATA controller in AHCI.
    Well, that definatly fixed the initial problem, but now, when the PC is completely IDLE, 0% CPU usage, No System restore, and nothing obvious using preformance monitors i setup, the HD is being accessed and its a constant sounding pattern, over and over and over every 3 seconds.... and its very very annoying.
    So, for "I'm a potty mouth"s and gigles, i try a diffrent controller, the other sata controller, and same thing (with a re-intall of windows) then, i tried my old promis controller, installed driver, new windows install just incase, no repair, Same thing!!!!!!!!
    Windows shows NO hd access in any of its preformance monitors and 0% CPU usage during this time.
    Its like somthing is happening in the background, but not at the windows level, but at the hardware level????
    I still havent ruled that out 100% though, but when i install linux Next, We'll see...
    Windows in safe mode does the same, i've excluded a number of services etc... still the same thing.
    This never happend once in my life, or on my previous hardware.
    Also, i've even tried installing windows on my secondary drive, a SATA 2 Maxtor 300gig, NCQ... same thing, except its much quieter... so its not noticable, but its still there. On the WD Raptor though, its noticable and very annoying... especially when the PC is suppose to be IDLE, lol......
    I've kept my windows install on my Maxtor, since its unoticable, and i put my raptor as a slave for now, but strangely enough, the raptor still makes that sound pattern during access and for 5 mins after, then it stops.   When windows was installed on it, it would do it for 20-30 mins then stop eventually only if you left it IDLE and dont do anything on the PC.  It even does this in the windows XP setup, lol.... like when entering the serial number, its all idle, and it does it.  its annoying as hell.
    Also, the HD access LED does light during this access, but i see no simular patterns from HD access of other programs at all. and like i said 0% idle cPU usage.
    So, WT is happening? Anyone experience such a weird problem?? anyone with this Board and a Raptor 74gig running windows XP have this issue?????????
     Theres not really any preformance issues i beleive, since i got a 72xxx score in PCMark, and the HD's speed surpased even the other PC's in my PC's class that got right marks, even one running quad core.... but its the sound, its just driving me nuts, if i couldent hear it, i would be set, lol......i wouldent attempt to dampen the sound given how hot those raptors can run.  only thing i havent tried were, Linux, and trying the Raid Driver instead of AHCI. 
    is there any tools for monitoring HD access on the HW level? anything? any ideas?
    Thanks for any suggestions.....
    FYI, the sound is like ("errrrr", "chick", "chick"....wait 3 seconds, repeat)
    the "errrr" is a solid consistant sound for about a full second, the other sounds after it seem more like normal sounding HD access, but it goes in that pattern.  In IDE mode, its just insanely retarded... everything that loads does a solid consistant agressive sounding HD access.   using my previous MB, CPU, controller, it never did any of this at all. 

     Hello!  Thanks for suggestions... the power is all good though, thats for sure.  I also mentioned the PS above... its New too.   
    PS: Enermax liberty 620w.   For cables, i have tried with the legacy power connection and SATA power, plus a change of data cables.
     I ran the WD diagnostics tool checker, the drive is being a secondary now.  No bad sectors or problems writing 0's to the drive, all reports good anyhow.  it might be some sorta power saving issue like you mentioned.  I also have the jumper on the HD still at default, which i believe is set to no spread spectrum clocking, like it aways was.  There is a setting for power management, but it isn't on that jumper.  the jumpers and power management in the bios are the only things i haven't tried, but thats next.   
     Also, i updated to the latest bios version, just to see.    I wish there was some tools to monitor the commands + data going to the HD from the controller, that may narrow things down a bit.   I'm a coder and its annoying troubleshooting these odd ball problems without proper tools, hehe.
    i'll try the power stuff and see what happends

  • Settings for capture excise invoice in MIGO and other settings

    Hi,
      For excise invoice capture and post procedure which we are following is as follow
    1 : For Local Excise invoice
         After receving goods from Vendor  first we are Doing J1IEX Part 1,  Capture excise invoice  after saving this we are getting part 1 number,  then we are making GR with MB01 ref. to part 1 number , then qyuality inspection then updating material in Unrestricted stock from quality  afetr that we are doing J1IEX  poat  PART 2  here we are getting part 2 number  then invoice verification,
    2 : For import PO
          First MIRO for custom delivery cost we are getting MIRO number,  then J1IEX part 1 ref. to MIRO number and year  then MB01, ref. to part 1 of J1IEX then quality quality to store then J1IEX Part 2 then MIRO for vendor.
    now in many thread i read about capture invoice in MIGO   so i want to know the detail settings which required to be made so that we can perform our ruoutin in short time.
    regards,
      zafar

    hi
    >is there will be any effect in our existing procedure We want to follow both for some time , after that we will do only in MIGO,
    yes u can use both simultniously
    but in MIGO if u capture,  the step of updation J1i5 will be ommited (it will take palce automatically)
    like currently ur doing capture >update >post
    in migo only capture and then post
    >second think is that now while posting the capture excise invoice in J1IEX we rae entering part 1 number, so can we do woth >this while capturing it thorugh migo or we have to post with vendor excise invoice number only.
    You can do capture and post simultaniously in migo only
    the separate transaction is given as persons or users  may be diffrent for GR and excise
    if the same user want to do the GR and cap and posting then yes he can
    for capture and posting u also have to tick Post Excise Invoice Captured in MIGO in excise grp settings
    regards

    Well, I really would love the new unreleased mac pro however , I'm not sure of the expected cost , Everyone speculates from $3,000 to $8,000, in which I may have to wait a while to purchase.
    To the point .... I want fully functional thunderbolt ports to be on the current mac pro's .... wonder if anyone had workarounds yet?...  or could I chain the the current mac pro to a mac mini to make that happen?
