  • Multi-Channel Sound Card?

    I have the 13" Aluminum MacBook from late 2008... (The specs for which are at http://support.apple.com/kb/SP500 - I read them but they didn't answer my question)
    Does this unit have a multi-channel sound card? If so, how is this used? I'm looking to run Mixmeister Fusion on it, but I'm not sure if the sound card is compatible.
    If it's not, is there an external card I can plug in that would make this work?
    Thanks!

  • Multi-Channel Sound Cards

    Hi,
    I was wondering if flash player had support for multi-channel
    sound cards. Everytime I play a .swf with sound i only get audio
    out of two channels.

    The audio interfaces that I use are an EMU 1820 and a Tascam FW-1884 firewire device. Both are fine for what I do (broadcast quality material). I believe the EMU gives better audio quality and is certainly more robust, but the Tascam, being Firewire, is more easily movable between machines. I also like to work with real faders and it integrates well enough with Audition to be usable. The EMU has the incredibly flexible virtual mixer, but I find it hard work keeping my brain up to speed with this.
    I also have other cards either inside machines or usb, but these are all just 2 channel.
    I'd be surprised if anyone was using Audition for logging, as the requirements are rather specialised. I'm way out of touch with this field now, but the requirements used to be that the recorder could be left to run continuously, and users on the network should be able to pull material off at random while the recording continued. Recording is the fairly easy bit, management is the problem.
    I'd have thought any computer based system ought to be capable of high quality. There are one or two low-cost or free loggers, I believe, but I've no idea how useful they are.

  • X-Fi: cannot get multi-channel sound or SPDIF passthrough

    I've owned an X-Fi XtremeMusic since it first came out, and have been running it with a MCE2005 system. I've had it hooked up to a home theater receiver via SPDIF and 5. analog, but have only had stereo speakers until today. So, right now I'm trying to get multi-channel sound to work. I'm using the latest drivers (have also tried the original drivers) and have all Microsoft patches applied.
    First, I cannot seem to get it out of stereo mode. Using the analog outputs to the 5. analog input on my receiver and setting the X-Fi to 5. speakers refuses to produce sound from anything except front left/right. I've used the Speaker Connection Wizard, the THX Console, the Speaker & Headphone console... and no matter what speaker icon I click on the sound comes out of the front left or right as if it is downmixing. I've also tried 4.0, 6. and 7. modes - no improvement. Also, multi-channel sound does not work in MCE setup, games, etc.
    Quite by accident I discovered that if I enable CMSS I can get *some* sort of sound from the rear speakers, but only in the sense of an effect. Also, with CMSS enabled, when testing the front center I get the word "front" out of the left/right speakers which then fades out before "center". If I test it again I get nothing (except a slight effect from the rear).
    Finally, I cannot get the SPDIF passthrough to work (it DOES work just fine passing out stereo 48khz sound). I've enabled SPDIF on the flexi-jack, I've set Dolby Digital and DTS to "external decoder required", and NONE of my applications present me with an option to use the SPDIF. This includes MCE, VLC and the latest version of CyberLink PowerDVD. Basically it seems that they can't see that there is a SPDIF on the system to use.
    Anyone else experienced this? I've spent 5 hours testing everything I can think of and trying different combinations of settings and I am completely at a loss!

    Well, I guess I'll answer my own problem in the hopes that it might help someone else.
    It seems that hour 8 of frustrated troubleshooting turned up the cure: all of this boils down to Logitech's stupid Quickcam Fusion drivers. With Logitech's "AEC" echo cancellation mode enabled for the built-in microphone, their drivers automatically turn audio acceleration down to second from the bottom. This results in the X-Fi performing nearly no hardware processing (later testing with DXDiag also said I had no hardware buffer). This results in no multi-channel audio, and no SPDIF passthrough.
    There are a couple of solutions...
    ) Disable "AEC" mode from the Logitech Quickcam control panel applet's Audio tab (and reboot). This worked for me.
    2) If this doesn't work, go into the Device Manager and disable the Quickcam's microphone (and reboot). This worked for me, but then I tried # which also worked and still let me use the microphone.
    3) Logitech's site (which mentions this problem/solution but only in the context of it causing BSOD crashes, not with it messing up multi-channel sound cards) mentions renaming one of their Audio directories to disable the microphone, although I don't see why this would be better than #2 (see http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/...p?p_faqid=4066 for more).
    4) Unplug the camera.
    So, I'm back in business - or rather, I'm only NOW in business!
    Interesting that the Creative diagnostics utility turned up anything amiss. It claimed that everything was hunky dory, when the card was obviously in a mode where it could not possibly work correctly.

  • Multi-Channel Sound in Director?

    I'm interested in creating a 3D immersive environment in
    Director. I'm looking for a way to select which speaker a sound is
    played on. I know that I can set the pan for a sound over two
    speakers, but would like to do that for two pairs of speakers,
    independently.
    Does anyone know a way to output audio to the front and rear
    channels and control what sound goes where?
    Thanks for your help!

    Lingo natively has 8 sound "channels" but they all get mixed
    to the same sound device. You probably need an xtra than can access
    a multi-speaker setup on the sound card. Also, did you look at
    OpenAL and the OpenAL xtra? It's built for 3D sound.

  • Stereo Surround for Multi Channel Sounds Cards... Not Working

    I have an Audidy 2 and utilize the Stereo Surround mode to listen to my music coming from all 5 of my speakers. I upgraded to iTunes 7 and noticed sound only from the left and right channels. I thought something had happened to the Sound Blaster setting, but it was still configured for 5.1 surround. I noticed all other sounds in Windows were coming in stereo surround... just not iTunes.
    Prior to upgrading, version 6 allowed this functionality. It's nice to listen to the music in a large room coming from all speakers.
    Has anyone else had this problem or can they duplicate it???

    It didn't work

  • No multi-channel audio from DVD Player or Quicktime?

    I have the A52Codec 1.7.6 installed. The codec preferences are set to output multi-channel audio. I have my Audio MIDI setup speaker configuration setup for multi-channel audio and the speaker assignment tests are all perfect. VLC plays back files with AC-3 soundtracks in perfect 5.1 multi-channel sound. Final Cut plays multi-channel audio properly as well.
    When I watch a DVD, it is decoded to stereo. The dialog on 5.1 always comes from the left and right speakers and never from the center channel. It doesn't matter whether I remove the A52Codec and try again the result is aways the same, 5.1 audio in Quicktime and DVD Payer gets decoded to stereo. It is not that extra channels are missing, if that were true I'd get no dialog at all.
    What do I have to do to make the DVD and Quicktime multi-channel audio decode as multi-channel audio and not stereo.

    I'm not sure if this will resolve your issue or not, but have you configured it using /Utilities/Audi MIDI Setup ?

  • How can I use all tracks from multi-channel source audio with Multicam clips?

    I cannot figure this out. Working in Premiere I'm prepping for a 2 camera show, with typically 4 to 6 track dual-system audio recorded by the sound guy. I can sync, and make multicam clips any number of ways–whether sync by timecode, sync by audio, or eyeballing–but whenever I edit using the MC clip, Premiere mixes down all the audio channels into a stereo single track, and I cannot pick and choose which audio track from the original to use. With 2-5 people mic'd on lavs, I need to be able to choose which audio is either cut in or heard at any given shot.
    Is there any way to have control in multicam clips over which track of audio gets edited into the timeline, or even: that all tracks of audio get cut in? It's very important for the editors to be able to see waveform (which also disappears for some reason in the mixdown) and pick and choose which audio is heard?
    I'm sure this might be a simple fix, but I cannot get my head around it for workflow purposes for my assistant editors. We need to use multicam, but this audio thing is driving all of us crazy. None of us can figure out how to have a multicam clip and use it with control over what audio is cut in.

    True, but what I need to be able to do is have my multicam sequence in the source monitor, and cut into my working sequence with either just the audio I need from the sound guy's multi-channel WAV, OR cut in all the sound and from then I can just enable or disable what I need or don't need. But also be able to match back to the Multicam source from my working sequence.
    I don't want to have to open the synced sequence, and razor blade the things I need and have to copy and paste into my working sequence in order to have the full spectrum of my multi-channel mono lav WAV files...with their waveforms visible.
    Essentially, I want my Multicam clips to load in the source monitor, and the ability to cut them into the working sequence without it mixing down the audio into a single track with no visible waveform–which is what it is doing currently. Can I choose to edit in either ALL of the tracks of the WAV file along with the camera shot I want, or control which audio gets cut in?

  • This is a very simple question about multi-channel audio playback

    I have an mp4 file that i made and i made it 7.1 surround sound, and i'm pretty sure that this 7.1 surround sound works, as it can be played in VLC. i'm using netstream to load my files now. How do i make it so that flash can playback all 8-channels of sound? I suppose kglad would know the answer

    Flash doesn't support multi-channel audio (yet?)

  • Can PCM multi-channel wav (not DD or DTS) be sent over SPDIF

    <Can PCM multi-channel wav (not DD or DTS) be sent over SPDIF? --- X-Fi Elite Pro SB055A and Audio Creation Mode ---
    If I understand correctly, SPDIF format can support uncompressed MULTICHANNEL wav format (within the limitations of its bandwidth) as well as the more usual DD or DTS encoded format on SPDIF.
    One of the neat things about Creative's Audio Creation Mode in the Recorder section is the ability to actually record to a multi-wav format (but the sample size seems to be fixed at 24 bit). This means it is quite simple to have several mixer inputs and record a mixed multi-channel wav file in one go. Great and this works as expected with a 5. ?24 bit/48 kHz recorded test file.
    My question is when one plays this recorded multi-channel wav file back, the mixer monitor (playback) shows the various 5. (say) channels with their separate content. Can this multi-channel *uncompressed* wav data? be sent over the SPDIF output as is to preserve the PCM quality? (so no DD or DTS encoding used)? I have tried this and I?ONLY seem to be able to get a STEREO (2 channel mixed down) version received at another SPDIF-in sound card (my Audigy 2ZS PCMCIA). I tried almost all selections at both ends involving SPDIF.

    @? In answer to my own question, and I think I had known this a while back, SPDIF standard only supports transmission of either 2 channel PCM (uncompressed) stereo with up to 24 bit resolution per channel and up to as much as 92 kHz sampling frequency, or compressed (DD or DTS) multichannel audio up to 5..
    Since each frame of SPDF is 64 bits in length (with a single sample of L and R channels plus extra bits of status in each frame), at 92 kHz max sampling rate, this translates to about 3 Mbits/sec bit rate. However most SPDF don't support the 92 kHz rate (which for 24 bit would be the stereo rate for DVD-Audio) for various copyright protection reasons.
    Here is short demonstration of SPDIF transmission of 24bit/96 kHz between two sound cards with and without "bit accurate for playback" enabled:

  • Multi-Channel output audio from Quick Time (or iTunes)

    Hello all,
    I am trying to get multi-channel AC3 audio output from QT and can only get two channel stereo. I have seen lots of related posts but can't quite get it.
    I am trying to configure a Mac Mini to output properly via the TOS link port to my audio system. I get surround sound fine playing a DVD but not when playing a .m4v file that does give me surround sound when played on my Apple TV.
    Should this be possible?

    I appreciate the link Brent! I also had someone point me here http://fplanque.com/dev/mac/ac3-ac-3-5-1-surrond-sound-apple-mac-osx and all is good now.
    Thanks!

  • AAC and multi-channel audio

    Can AAC be used to encode multi-channel audio, such as DTS-HD Master Audio?
    DTS-HD Master Audio is an optional audio format in Blu-Ray. It uses lossless compression.
    There are other audio formats from Dolby Digital, for example, that are used to encode HD audio in Blu-Ray. Can AAC be used to encode those as well, without any loss of information?
    Is there any work in progress to make HD audio such as DTS-HD Master Audio available discretely on disc, like what the older DVD-Audio format made possible for 5.1 channel surround sound on disc?
    Thanks.

    What adjustments do you want to make?

  • Multi Channel Input on Recei

    http://img202.imageshack.us/img202/586/5pchinputlarge9cj.jpg[/img] width="300" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
    Ok I know that for the front and rear I would use a 3.5mm stereo to RCA but for the center/sub channel what should I use? Should it be a 3.5mm mono to RCA or something different or can it be a regular stereo red and white one?
    Btw how much does this degrade the quality of the sound? I hoping that this method with the multi channel inputs and nice home theater speakers sounds better than a PC speaker system like the 5500.

    My setup is similar to yours.
    - I have the 5. channel analog outputs of my X-Fi goes to the 5. multi-channel inputs of my preamp-processor. This setup alllow me not only to play my ripped music in 5. also allows me to play DVD-audio disc. You can also play DTS/DD encoded movies as well as long as you set the DD/DTS decoding option to off (internal decoding) in the creative console mixer.
    Advantage: Can use the X-Fi CMSS-3D to get 5./7/ expansion
    2- I also have the SPDIF output of the X-Fi goes to one digital coax input of my preamp-processor. This setup gives me the same processing as the above except the playback of DVD-audio disc.
    Disadvantage: SPDIF will ouput only in stereo, you will need to use the receiver processing modes(Dolby prologic I/II, Neo6, Stereo 5/7) to get 5./7. expansion
    For me connection 2 is the better choice for playback mode except DVD-audio, the reason is my preamp processor is a $4K unit with the highest (Audiophile) quality DACs, plus I have the flexibility of setting the bass-management of this unit independently. Plus, I have a multitude of processing modes on this unit such as : DPL-IIx, Neo-6, 5./7. Music etc... to expand a 2 channels signal into 5./7.
    I can see you have a digital coax input on your receiver, just buy a mono 3.5mm to coaxial convertor. Connect the 3.5mm SPDIF end to the X-FI SPDIF flexi-jack, and the Coax digital end to your receiver Digital coax in. With this connection you need to set DD/DTS decoding on the X-Fi to ON (External decoder).

  • RMX Stylus Multi Channel

    I'm trying to Multi Channel Stylus RMX. After I set up 8 Aux tracks in Logic, and change each output in Stylus mixer. I dragged, and dropped the midi pattern on the instrument track, but did not hear any sound when I hit play in Logic. I only hear sound, and see my levels move in the Aux channel strips in Logic when I hit the play button in Stylus. So I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong....

    I checked out the video, and I got my answer, but I have one more question. You know when you play an entire drum pattern on one track, and you can separate them by choosing Demix by note pitch in Split/Demix (Region Dropdown). When I'm not in Multi mode, and I just drag, and drop a loop from Stylus, and I choose Demix by note pitch, it gives me a weird separation, and I was wondering what I can do to separate the different drum parts from an RMX Loop
    Thx....

  • Multi channel instument... ultrabeat

    Hello,
    I'm having problems with ultrabeat. In some projects it appears to work fine whilst in others i cannot get multi channel functionality out of it. Basically, I don't get that little plus and minus sign appearing on the channel strip that's used for getting different sounds out on different tracks.
    Is there something simple that I'm overlooking. Some help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Sorry, my mistake!
    I had selected the stereo output version of ultrabeat by accident instead of the multi output version. Can't believe it took me song long to figure it out! I knew something was amiss....
