Multiple Audio out: usb dac audio out and hdmi out

Good afternoon everyone, I have a 2010 mac mini with the following audio set up.
- A usb dac (xtreamer) connected to my stereo amplifier
- an Hdmi cable to the tv to get  video and audio diretcly to the tv
Is it possibile by any chance to get simoultanesly audio output both from usb audio out and hdmi audio out???
In "midi preference panel" I tried to create a "virtual" sound card but i am not able to get sound simoultanesly. or via hdmi, or via usb.
this is quite disappointing because if I want to listen to music with the amplifier and then watching a simple video with mac mini and tv only I need to go back to the audio preferences and set up manually each time.
Is it possible to solve this issue???
Thanks a lot and gretings from Italy

I can select ATV audio out (Airplay setting) to either my Airport Express or my computer so it must be transmitting via airplay. Using a combination of Airserver, Airfoil and Airfoil Speakers I managed to get the ATV audio content on both my PC and my Airport Express at the same time but it cuts out the ATV audio.
My aim is to have a movie on ATV transmitting the Audio to ATV AND my stereo (which is hooked up to the Airport Express).
Cheers

  • Is there a way to select multiple audio tracks and make all of them stereo pair at the same time?

    I selected multiple tracks, pressed "option L" but was not able to make multiple clips stereo pair at the same time.

    If I remember correctly it is not possible modify a group of selected clips on the timeline with the Stereo Pair command - unless all the selected clips have exactly the same properties - such as being linked to  video clips, etc. So you have to manually go through and select the dual mono tracks you want to pair individually or in smaller groups to be able to apply the Stereo Pair command.
    If you select a bunch (a couple)  of clips, and go to the menu Modify, you will see if Stereo Pair is grayed out or not. If it is grayed out, then you can't apply it to those clips as a group, but you probably will be able to apply it if you make smaller selections of clips.

  • Multiple Audio Lines

    hi all,
    Are there any open source projects out there that will show us ways to implement multiple audio lines and allow manipulation of each audio line seperately? e.g volume, pan etc??
    Is anyone working on a project that they would post??
    I have been working on a project which has 8 tracks, i have it playing the 8 tracks of audio but i am simply calling the same play function 8 times with a different file name each time. I use the play method described in the JavaAlmanac.
    If anyone has a project in development or otherwise, i would be very grateful if they would be able to post it here!! I'm sure it will be of benefit to them aswell as everyone else.
    cheers,

    hello again everyone,
    As no one made any replys to this topic, i will now show you what i have ended up doing to create my multiple track audio sequencer.
    Its not the best in terms of "smart code" but it works, and since i have a deadline for this project, i am happy to get it working no matter what way the code is structured.
    i simply used this file
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.sound.sampled.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class AudioTrack0Handler
         boolean mute = false;
         String fileName;
         int loop;
         Clip clip;
         public void play(String file, int loops )
                   fileName = file;
                   loop = loops;
                   try{
                   System.out.println("Play method called file..." + fileName);
                   AudioInputStream stream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(new File("C:\\java\\code\\Audio\\" + fileName ));
                   //AudioInputStream stream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(new File("1.wav"));
                   // At present, ALAW and ULAW encodings must be converted
                   // to PCM_SIGNED before it can be played
                   AudioFormat format = stream.getFormat();
                   if (format.getEncoding() != AudioFormat.Encoding.PCM_SIGNED) {
                        format = new AudioFormat(
                                  AudioFormat.Encoding.PCM_SIGNED,
                                  format.getSampleRate(),
                                  format.getSampleSizeInBits()*2,
                                  format.getChannels(),
                                  format.getFrameSize()*2,
                                  format.getFrameRate(),
                                  true);        // big endian
                        stream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(format, stream);
                   // Create the clip
                   DataLine.Info info= new DataLine.Info(
                        Clip.class, stream.getFormat(), ((int)stream.getFrameLength()*format.getFrameSize()));
                   clip = (Clip) AudioSystem.getLine(info);
                   clip.open(stream);
                   // Start playing
                   clip.loop(loop);
                   //clip.stop();
                   } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace();
                   } catch (LineUnavailableException e) {  e.printStackTrace();
                   } catch (UnsupportedAudioFileException e) { e.printStackTrace();}
         public void stopAudio()
              clip.stop();
              clip.flush();
         public void muteAudio()
              /*Control[] ctrl = clip.getControls();
              for (int i=0; i < ctrl.length; i++)
                   System.out.println(ctrl);
              FloatControl gainControl = (FloatControl)clip.getControl(FloatControl.Type.MASTER_GAIN);
              //double gain = .5D; // number between 0 and 1 (loudest)
              //float dB = (float)(Math.log(gain)/Math.log(10.0)*20.0);
              switch((int)gainControl.getValue())
                             case 0:
                             gainControl.setValue(-80);
                             break;
                             case -80:
                             gainControl.setValue(0);
                             break;
    and created it eight times for 8 audio tracks. i call each track seperately when i need to access the methods. With the stop method and mute method, it also allows me to stop all tracks or mute/unmute individual ones during playback.
    In parts This is a primitve way of doing it (i think) but it will remain here as a guide for anyone who finds it!

  • Identifying multiple audio tracks on Apple TV

    I like to add the director's commentary tracks to TV shows and movies I encode for my iTunes library. Until recently, usually I've been able to identify them through my Apple TV by holding down "select" on the remote, going into "audio" and then seeing things like:
    English (Stereo)
    English (Surround)
    English (Commentary)
    but now the same file would show something like:
    English
    English (Surround)
    English
    iTunes still shows the audio track descriptions and I noticed that there is some change in the whether anything at all appears in brackets after the language name when you play around with the Dolby Digital setting in the Options pane on Apple TV, so I'm wondering if I've somehow changed a setting? Can anyone help me out here?

    I've been able to do this by changing the language on the second track to something other than English. I use Quicktime Pro to open the file with multiple audio tracks and hit cmd+J. The screen that comes up shows each of the tracks in the Quicktime file. Click on the 2nd audio track and under one of the property tabs ("other" or "presentation" or something like that)you can choose a different language. Just pick one and save. Add the video to iTunes again and re-sync. Now you should be able to choose "french" (or whatever you designated your second audio to be) when you hold play.
    If that doesn't work, there is one other step but I can't remember if it is necessary: In QT Pro, in addition to changing the language, you may need to assign the 2nd audio track as an "alternate track" to the video. You do that in the "cmd+J" screen as well

  • Export MXF with multiple audio channels for broadcast

    Hi,
    I work at a broadcast company as an editor. We always used FCP with the free sony xdcam plugin to export. This plugin seems to be one of the rare ways to export an MXF with 4 audio channels. I don't know exactly why we need to export it for broadcasting with 4 audio channels, but we do.
    Since our workload has grown enormously the last few months and it will only become more we are optimizing our workflow. We also work with a lot of different endboards in After Effects and we made a nice template to work with. And since AE and Premiere can make a dynamic link we are considering changing from FCP to Premiere.
    Now comes the question!: The only obstacle we could not find an answer to is exporting it with 4 audio channels as an MXF from Premiere CS5. Will there be some development on this level regarding CS6?
    A solution to this should save us a lot of time!
    Any help will be highly appreciated!
    I also attached an example for the usual MXF files we export

    I have the same problem. I have a project with multiple audio channels and I want to export them as individual channels in a MXF-file.
    Method:
    When I created a new sequence I choose "Multichannel" from the "Tracks" page. When I export the MXF OP1a, I choose 8 channels from the "Audio" page. None of the channels are muted.
    Result:
    The rendered file contains 8 channels, but only the first two channels contains any audio (main left + right), the rest of the channels are empty. Channel 1 and 2 contains the audio from all channels, but I want the channels to be seperated in the same way as they are layered in Premiere.
    I don't understand your answer to wleoni75's question. Could you please help me further?

  • Any way to export QuickTime w/ multiple audio tracks?

    I remember seeing QuickTime movies where on playback you can select which audio tracks to listen to. Kind of like director's commentary or different language versions for the same video stream...
    Is there a how-to guide for making a movie like this in FCP? We have one video file and multiple audio files that we've placed in different tracks in the timeline but when we export to a QuickTime movie they get all merged together. We tried setting it up with multiple audio channels and then control-clicking to get that menu with each audio track and putting them into the different channels, but there must be something we're missing...
    Is this something only FCP 6 can do? I think we have version 5.
    thanks!

    I'm a little rusty on this - and without access to FCP 5 at the immediate moment - but I think the key is to set your sequence to have multiple (as in more than 2) audio outputs, then select Channel-Grouped for audio during the Export via QT Conversion.
    If that doesn't work, you could always paste additional audio tracks onto your movie in QT Pro. After all, you'll need to tweak your language settings for audio track in QT Pro.
    But where have you seen this implemented to do a Director's commentary-type option? I've read that multiple (discrete) audio tracks work only if they're tagged as different languages and the user's playback system is setup for one of those languages. (But I've been wrong before...)
    And welcome to the forums.

  • Exporting multiple audio channels from Premiere Pro CS6 in MXF OP1a

    Any ideas what I can do?
    Thank you for your help!

    Hey Guys,
    I'm having problems exporting an 8 channel audio mxf for a broadcast client. The mix they want is as follows:
    Track 01: Full Programme Mix L
    Track 02: Full Programme Mix R
    Track 03: International Sound L
    Track 04: International Sound R
    Track 05: Music and Effects L
    Track 06: Music and Effects R
    Track 07: VO Mono
    Track 08: Interview Mono
    I have setup the sequence following this video on vimeo and am fairly confident I have the sequence settings correct. https://vimeo.com/38501157
    I also can export a multichannel mxf. But all my tracks are exported as mono and I am therefore not maintaining my L and R as set up in my sequence
    The problem is on exporting that since Tracks 01 and 02 are bounced down to 1 + 2 it means that my Track 01 (Panned L) is getting bounced down onto my Track 02 aswell and thus it does not remain seperate. Has anyone delivered a similar format for a broadcaster and come across this problem with Premiere Pro and know a solution?
    Any help would be much appreciated
    Thanks

  • Issues with multiple audio tracks

    Hello everyone. I need some help with my DVD Reel. … Please
    I have a DVDSP project that I’ve been using and updating for the last year. It contains over 100 small 4-minute clips (Mpeg-2 Video + AC3 Audio) plus a lot of menus and buttons….
    Everything worked nice and perfect… except that I added some surround clips last week (using stories)… so now I have one audio track (A1) with all stereo audio and a second audio track (A2) with my surround audio. Again, no problems until today when I used the same track to add a new clip with stereo audio only (A1)…. And it doesn’t want to playback on DVD Player (but it plays in the simulator)…
    …. Now here is the question. Does the additional (surround) audio track have anything to do with this problem or is there any other reason why the stereo clip didn’t want to play after the surround clip? … or Do I need to create stories for my stereo clips from now on?
    Some more information: I’m using Final Cut Pro and Compressor to crate my media… Intel Mac OS X… DVD Studio Pro Version 4.1.2.
    Thanks for your help

    Got an almost kind of (but not really) similar problem. I have videos with multiple audio (AAC and AC3 passthru) in an m4v file. the AAC is always defaulted with the "enable" tick in the properties box. I've tried almost everything I can think of to enable the AC3 track by default so that frontrow or QT will play it. but everytime I save (even save-as) it defaults back to the AAC stereo.
    Any ideas? is this a "feature" of 7.5.5?

  • Multiple audio-outs via USB or Firewire?

    I'm looking for a hardware solution for my mid-2010 MBP w/ 2-4 audio outputs via USB or Firewire.  On the software side, I want to have multiple media players open and playing simultaniously, but each output separately.  I was told m-audio makes devices that allow this, but I am curious which may be the cheapest with this capability - or alternate manufacturers.

    I think you'd have better luck going to the m-audio forums and asking your question.

  • Fade audio in and out throughout a clip

    Is thre any way to fade audio in and out throughout a clip, so say for example I want to fade it back just when someone is talking etc? it used to be so easy in previous imovies!

    Audio in iMovie 09 is a pain. In order to do this, you have 2 choices...
    1. Your clip must have a video fade effect of some kind then go into precision editor, select to see audio from the waveform button near the middle right of the screen and then slide the audio (without effecting picture) either earlier or later.
    2. You can Split your clip in multiple places, lets say 6. Then double click on each of them in turn, moving the audio level lower and lower until you get to the part of the split clip that will be zero. In order no to have the edit point sound cut, either set the auto fade to be manual/zero, or go into precision editor and overlap the audio edit points slightly.

  • Audio IN and OUT messed up - how to diagnose??

    I've got a weird issue and wondering if anyone can help. I have a Mac Pro and yesterday got a good mic and a pre-amp for my son to do some recording on GarageBand. I also installed the CuBase software that came with the pre-amp. The audio in and out is very erratic. Sometimes it will record, and sometimes not. And it will not playback properly (yes, I double-checked my Output/Input settings in System Preferences).
    The same problem is happening on the CuBase software (which is GarageBand on steroids).
    HOWEVER, when I fire up iTunes, all my existing MP3s come out of the speakers (line out) and headphone jack just fine.
    Anyone know if there are potential conflicts between the system and audio editing software? Or perhaps it's the sound chip on the motherboard?
    Related question: Can you add a sound card to a Mac Pro? I know the chip is soldered to the motherboard, but wondering if I can bypass that by adding a sound card?
    Thanks for any help.

    I haven't spent much time with Garage Band and I haven't used Cubase since OS9..
    But there may be settings right in the DAW software that sets the default ins/outs as opposed to having your system settings control where the audio goes..
    Another thing to take a look at is Audio MIDI Setup in the Utilities folder. It displays the system sound settings in a bit more detail...
    Currently, there might be 1 or 2 PCI-express "sound cards" out there, but your best bet would be to look for a USB or, preferably, a Firewire audio interface. There are many of these out there with a large range in pricing..
    If you are getting serious about recording, you may want to look at some of the small format mixers which include a USB or FW output. The advantage of these small mixers is that they are like swiss army knives for audio.. they allow you to route and mix audio in all kinds of ways that you would never imagine until you actually need it.. Some include digital effects, usually some EQ on every channel, from 2-16 mic pres, etc
    Another route, again if you are getting more serious, is to get a ProTools LE or M-Powered setup. This way you are getting "Industry Standard" recording software along with a selection of different audio interfaces to choose from depending on your needs..
    Apple Logic is also Pro-Level Software for a great price, especially at the current pricing.. You still need an interface, though, to get the most out of it.
    Browse around the computer recording section at www.sweetwater.com to get a good idea of what's involved..

  • Possible to use Audio In and Out simultaneously?

    Is there any additional adaptor/gadget that I can purchase so that both the Audio In and Out features of the audio jack can be simultaneously?
    For example, so that Audio In can be used to record an external source input while the Audio Out is piped to a headphone to monitor the recording?
    Thanks!

    Air has a headset jack.
    You can use a splitter
    Mics should be USB capable for best results, almost all headset mics are junk quality.
    then monitoring or listening thru the headphones
    consider using a PRO MIC , such as an Audio Technica AT2020 USB

  • Hi i upgrade from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am getting no sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever

    Hi i upgraded from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am no longer getting sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever.Any one any ideas?
    I use a samsung TV for my monitor via HDMI.Tried all the system Audi setting nothing .Head phone and internal speakers are fine.

    Similar issue; Audio was working fine on Lion, now not on Mountain Lion. Have a Macbook Pro early 2011 with AMD Radeon HD 6750M, connected by thunderbolt through a Lacie LBD to a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter (n.b. same problem when not going through the LBD) to a Pioneer VSX 521 AV receiver. For me when I go into audio Midi settings all the volume sliders for the displayport device are greyed out and at zero. But when I click 'configure speakers', it's able to send out the test signals to each speaker. Part of the problem could be that I'm not getting the option to put out 6channel sound, only 2 or 8 channel. Since my system is Dolby 5.1, and I only have 6 speakers, I would have expected the 6ch option to be available. But I imagine there's more to it than that. Elsewhere someone has suggested playing with Remote Interactive over HD on an Onkyo device; I'll see if there's something similar on the Pioneer that can be changed. Any other suggestions welcome.
