Multiple Audio outs

I just sold on Ebay my FireStudio Project audio interface. I'm glad I did. It was too big for my needs.
I am happily using MainStage2, but wish to have a separated audio out for me vocal mic. (This is due to feedback problems created from my Bose SoundDock that is aimed right back at me. The SoundDock looks and sounds great as is where is.)
Can anyone recommend a way to rout the vocal mic out sound to a port other than the 3.5 mm stereo jack?
It would be wonderful if this recommendation would be to a firewire port in that the 3 USB ports are already used up to accommodate my live rig set-up.
BTW, I do have an alesis powered speaker, so a FireWire to 1/4" or FireWire to XLR would be a needed cable.
Thank you so much.

Get yourself (used is fine, on ebay etc) a multiple ins and outs firewire interface. There are plenty available. I (and many others) have had great success with a MOTU UltraLite mk3. You can get older models that are Firewire only (new ones are USB + Firewire). Thats the easy way, and then you could route vocal only out of its own 1/4" output jack and send it to where the sun doesn't shine. Also, that little MOTU box has internal DSP (compression, eq, reverb, etc). Nice.

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

Multiple Audio outs for DJing?

Okay, potentially stupid question. I've got a MBP, and on a lark I bought the new M-Audio MixLab DJ bundle.
So, you need to have the ability to have headphones connected for cueing, and then speakers connected for your live mix. Well, there's only one stereo out port on the MBP (and most Macs).
Any thoughts on what's the best way to deal with this? Are USB speakers my only option?

there are hundreds of audio interface options for notebooks, MBPs included. how many ins and outs do you need? m-audio sell a whole range of them themselves, you could start by looking at their site under firewire and/or USB audio interfaces.

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.
http://forums.m-audio.com/
It would be hit or miss to find someone here who's an expert on your issue. Also, you might post your question to the Logic Studio forum here:

There are a lot of sound people there who might point you in the right direction with a MacBook Pro.

Multiple Audio Outputs

First off before I get to the point...
I would have submitted this through the iTunes feature request form, but it's been removed. "iTunes feedback" is now simply "what would you like to buy".
Anyway... I've got two audio outputs on my system - built in audio which goes to the internal speakers, and USB audio which goes to some better external speakers. I'd like to use the internal ones for regular stuff, and the external ones for "real" audio apps.
Most "real" audio apps are smart enough to detect external speakers, and let you select them explicitly, while non-audio apps just use the default, so it works fine...
Except iTunes doesn't support this.
Why can't I explicity select the Audio ouput I want to use. It's not a security/copyright thing, as I can already output to the device by setting it as the default output.
iTunes should spot multiple audio out devices, and pop them up in the Computer/airtunes button.
(actually Airtunes SHOULD be a regular audio device, and then this would all work as it should, but that's a different argument, which I'm not going to win).

You can select your sound outputs using system preferences. select sound , select device output.
or you can go into utilities and open audio midi setup and choose your system output.
Hope this helps:)

Multiple audio outputs - HDMI & Audio out

Hi all,
This is driving me a little nuts, so any help greatly appreciated! With the new Mac Mini models, you can have audio out via HDMI or the line out. I am thinking to hook the mini up to an LCD TV/monitor via HDMI (sound on the monitor) and also to my other TV/sound system via the mini DP and audio out.
I assume when the mini turns on it'll activate both displays (if they are turned on), and from what I understand you can have two displays running. I'd only want one at a time so I'd have the other display switched off. But can the mini output audio to either both, or whichever system I am using? I've read a lot of posts but can't find a definite answer. I only want audio (and video for that matter, but can turn off other screen) to one TV at a time, but do I have to go into the OS audio settings each time I want to swap between the two?
I'm also thinking of using Plex and keeping it open at all times, just sleeping the mini when not in use. Can the mini only output to one source, requiring manual switching to the other (i.e. going from HDMI to audio out)?
Thanks for your help!!

I would consider using a switcher for the video. And use the osx sound output selection to change the audio.

How to edit a multiple audio video clip on Premiere

Hello everybody
Maybe this is a dumb question, I'm sorry if I'm asking what is obvious for you, but I swear I tried to find on the web and on this forum, but I couldn't find anything.
Well, I made a video using a screen capture software called Dxtory, that provides me the ability to record my PC screen, with multiple audio tracks.
Ok, now I have a 15gb avi file. When I open this file in the Media Player Classic, I can play one or both channels. The first channel is the original audio captured from my PC. Every audio generated by my PC is in this track. The second track is my voice, with my commentaries. I have all of this in one single file. They are not splited. It's just one file.
Then when I import into Premiere, the software just recognize the video track and the first audio track. I can't find the second, with my voice.
I know I can split the clip into 3 files (1 video and 2 audios) but it would take longer. I just want to drop the file on Premiere and edit the audio volumes quickly, because when I talk I would like to low the volume of the PC audio.
Now, the question: Is there a way to Premiere recognize both tracks in this single file? How?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm actually surprised that Pr can import this at all--the video is Xvid. Maybe it's some variant that Pr's importers can handle, as Jeff suggested. I dunno--it doesn't play well for me, regardless, and I'm not going to install the Dxtory codec to find out.
Anyway, to the matter at hand: while AVIs can, apparently, contain multiple audio tracks, Pr's importers are limited to a single track. However, Pr has other importers than can handle multiple audio tracks. QuickTime--which is a wholly different process--supports multiple audio tracks, as does MXF (some flavors). However, Xvid in QuickTime (which is feasible) won't import in Pr (at least on a PC), and Xvid won't go into an MXF file at all; that means you'd have to transcode. Personally, this would be my choice--but I found that the original clip played back pretty terribly, so that would be why I'd go that route.
Additionally, you could extract the second audio track to a separate WAV file, import both the AVI and WAV, and then use the Merge Clips feature to marry them together as one pseudo-clip. Not perfect, but it would work. The benefit is that you don't re-encode anything.
So, I've got solutions for both the re-encode/MXF option (my preference) and the AVI/WAV option. Here's proof of the MXF (transcoded video to XDCAMHD422 50Mbps) with four audio channels (stereo must be split to dual mono):
At the end of the day, these (or a variation of them) are your only options. Pr simply won't import multiple audio tracks (even dual mono) in an AVI container. Let me know if you're interested in either of the solutions.

How do I import multiple audio tracks?

Hi there...
I have a number of video files that have multiple audio tracks in them. The problem is I can not work out how to get prem to see multiple audio tracks. The files import fine and I have also tried various other formates with multi-track audio.. but only audio "stream 1" is visible in prem.
What I was hoping is that the video would come in with a 2 audio tracks instead of 1 each in its own "lane".. so I can then use the mixer and the audio files are linked to the video file and in perfect sync.. (just like when you import with 1 track)
NOTE: I am not talking about channels.. but complete 2 completely different audio tracks.. and I know that I could extract these audio streams into wavs and then re-sync them but this seams overkill and a duplication of effort... surly there is a way to have prem support more than 1 audio track on a video file?
--Me

Well, if PP doesn't bring them in, then best guess is they just don't exist.
There's really no trick or user adjustment for this that I'm aware of. You import the file, PP sees what's in it. I've never observed or read about any other behavior than that.

Is it possible to retain multiple audio tracks when exporting?

While ripping my DVD collection, I've wanted to add a purchased RiffTrax (see www.riftrax.com) to the movie as another audio track. I've been successful, but it took the following steps:
1. Encode the movie using Handbrake, open the resulting m4v file in Quicktime Pro
2. Also in Quicktime Pro, open the Rifftrax aac file I created and add it as another audio track in the m4v
3. Save the m4v as a Quicktime mov file
4. Use Handbrake again to encode the mov file into an m4v file, including my added audio track
The reason I have to do step 4 is because if I were to export an m4v file directly from Quicktime Pro, it would compress all of the audio tracks into a single audio track. It would save a lot of time if Quicktime could export multiple audio tracks, at least when exporting to formats that can handle them. Does anyone know if this is possible?
BTW, if anyone wants more details into how I create the RiffTrax aac, just ask.
- Jake

I've answered my own question, it was a lot easier than I thought. After the first encoding by Handbrake, there's really no difference between calling it a mov file or m4v file. I can change the file extension at will and there's no need to do an export that mashes the audio tracks. It's only AppleTV that needs to see the m4v file extension, Quicktime and iTunes doesn't seem to care one way or the other.
Thanks for letting me think out loud.

Editing Multiple Audio Clips From Premiere in Audition

Hi there,
I am working with video/audio in Premiere that has frequent cuts (although the audio is derived from two files) and I need to edit all the audio files at once, rather than one by one, in Audition. I was hoping to this by nesting the audio in Premiere but I am not able to edit the nested file in Audition after this.
If anyone has any ideas of how to work with and apply the same properties to multiple audio clips from Premiere in Audition I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks...

Hi everyone, I also have a trouble with cs6. I just record 3 tracks in the early today, then when I got home, I saved as sexs file ( wrong decision). After that, I went back and try to open the file, it can't file the recording tracks. The only one thing still exist is my beat, what should I do to recovered it? thanks for helping me out of this.

Home Theater need. Multiple Audio Streams from 1 card or possible to use 2 car

I currently have 2 SB Li've's installed and a SB Audigy in the box.
I would like to be able to send different audio out to different devices. I need to send audio from a game interface called MAME 32 to a speaker system connected to the PC. I also use this PC as a home theater PC and want to send audio from my DVD playing software out to my TV(in analog stereo mode) and/or to my receiver(in Dolby Digital mode using the digital connector).
I would like to be able to run these seperatly without having to go into the Control Panel and switch the default sound card like I am doing now. I do not need to run them at the same time.

Bummer. Are you guys working on something that might have this capability? Seems to me that the closer we integrate PC's into our entertainment systems the more need we will have for the ability to do multiple audio streams, i.e. MP3's to the living room. DVD movie audio to the family room, XM radio classical station to the kitchen for mom etc..
Intel is offering this as an onboard solution that has the ability to do at least 2 different streams.

Audio out of AirPlay port using apple Tv ad iPad

If I use AirPlay to play from my iPad to my Apple TV, via the Airport Express, can I get audio out of the port on the AirPlay?

No. This would be airplaying to multiple devices at once using an iOS device. You can do this though in iTunes on a Mac if you have to.

Samsung HLN4365WX Audio out

I would like to hook up external speakers/soundbar to subj TV, the instruction manual is very vague, rear jack Vidio/Audio Monitor Output says "Sends a vidio signal from the TV to an external source, such as a VCR" , RCA jacks 1. vidio out 2. Right out, 3 Left out.
Now my question, can receiver to speakers or soundbar be hooked to thr Right and Left Audio out RCA jacks?
Thank's for you advice/help.

I have firmware 2.2.1, so that's not it.....I know there's a sticker that says it will be fully functional after the release of Android 2.2. But the phone came to me with 2.2.1 installed, and I did check for an update just to be sure, and was told there wasn't one.
I have a vehicle dock, model ECS-M985BE. I'm trying to use the audio out port with a wired headset. I get no sound thru the headset at all, though the headset works fine when the phone is not hooked up to the dock. I've tried multiple headsets/earphones, and I also had Verizon send me a new dock in case there was something wrong with my first one. Nothing's solved it. I called Samsung directly, but after they wanted to transfer me for the fifth time, and I'd been on the phone a total of a half hour, I couldn't handle it anymore.
I've tried using it in "car mode" and out of "car mode." When in "car mode," if I pick the phone icon, it tells me to "connect the external speaker to the accessory." But it doesn't recognize the headset when I plug it in. If I have the headset plugged in and then pick the phone icon, it still gives me the message to connect the external speaker.
In all of these instances, I can hear the call through the phone earpiece, and can turn on the speaker and hear it there as well - as if there is no earpiece connected at all. But I get no beeps or any other indication a device has been plugged in.....but, I don't get that when the phone is off the dock and I plug in the headset, either, so.....
Anyone have any ideas or input? The only thing I've tried was suggested by the first person I talked to at Samsung: download any free car dock app. That didn't help either.
I would also check with your local law enforcement, as I know wearing a headset during driving is illegal in some states. It prevents the driver from hearing emergency sirens, etc.

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!

HT201066 How can I split a long recording audio file into multiple audio files?

Hi,
How can I split a long recording audio file into multiple audio files?
With Windows I was using Nero software, which is not available for Mac. Is there any similar app for free for Mac?
Thanks!

Hello ingiorgio
You can import the track into GarageBand and then split the tracks there. Once that it is done you can highlight the ruler section and then share the song to iTunes to get them separated out.
