Narration/V/O recording help...

Hello Group,
I would like to record voice over directly into FCP, I have the mics to do this, the mics are standard XLR (I'm sure I need some kind of an adapter) however I'm not sure how to plug it into to the tower itself, to record. I know FCP has a Voice Over record program, I just haven't played around with that yet. I'm sure this is very easy but I'm fairly new to post with FCP. I've got the Dual 2.7Ghz Tower.
Thanks for your help!

you'll need an audio interface of some kind as your mac does not have a mic level input, a simple mic preamp would suffice, there are also xlr->usb adapters and such like ... i like (and use) the hugely expensive usbpre from sounddevices

  • Recording help needed

    recording help needed. I'm a beginner, imac, logic express and helix board 12 firewire.
    I have recorded my daughter voice only ok, BUT when i import audio file to track 1 as backing track and my daughter is using headphones from the helixboard to sing to she does not record to track 2 when all in enabled.
    Should her headphone come from the imac and not the helix board
    Regards
    Paul

    Check the recording channel in the channel strip.
    It must be set the same as the audio interface channel.
    cheers

  • Microphone is no longer recording -- help nee

    Hello. I have a Sound Blaster Li've! 24-bit sound card. I used to be able to record with my microphone which is hooked up to a pre-amplifier which is hooked up to the sound card's recording port on the back of my PC. Then, in the summer, I wasnt able to record anymore. I updated all the drivers, and reinstalled the sound card and neither fixed it. Therefore, I assumed that my problem was that maybe the preamp, the cables, and/or microphone weren't working. So I bought entirely new equipment for everything, and it still doesn't record!!! I looked at the FAQ in this forum and I followed everything, and tried some of the suggestions multiple times and it still does not record. I also did a search on the forums and seems like other people's similar problems were not resolved. I can't hear any of the microphone output through my headphones either. My sound card is working fine otherwise.
    One strange thing that I noticed is that I CAN hear my microphone output for about three seconds every time i reinstall/update the drivers for the Sound Blaster Li've! sound card This occurs DURING the update. Im wondering if there is another program that is possibly blocking the recording or if something is corrupting certain driver(s)? Would there be anyway to check this? Is there something else that could be wrong?
    Is there anyway to fix the problem without having to repartition my hard dri've? :help:

    Well, after some tests I did, I understood that the variables have not be passed from the shoppingcart servlet to checkout. I declared the variables for 1 product (+productname+) ,not the array, as[b] hidden values in the shoppingcart servlet and when user clicked checkout button, checkout servlet was called and my db was updated succesfully. My problem is now, how all the products in the shopping cart can be successfully entered in the db because I receive only the last one product everytime I checkout. I think that I will probably have to declare the whole array of products and not the one string in my hidden values but I dont know how..
    If you have a solution to this, please help me.. I m new in java and I have read a lot to create my code and build my project so every help will be valuable for me to continue...
    Thanx again

  • Problem in Creating %rowtype records - Help Needed...

    Hi,
    I have created some base view called...
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW TEST AS SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL;
    Then i am using this view object in the function for creating row type by recreating/replacing the view by the parameter "tablename - tname".

    Please help me out how could i trigger the record type (rowtype) object based on the passing parameters (table name).
    Thanks in advance...

    Why are you dynamically changing the table the view selects from? This seems like you are asking for trouble by forcing objects that reference view Test to go invalid when you change it. What is the purpose of the BULK COLLECT within CALLPROC? The results that are returned into rc1 are lost once that inner procedure is finished.
    What you trying to accomplish?

  • LSMW Recording Help

    When we run the transaction FB01 for Customer Document DA, the whole transaction goes smooth without asking for any CO object like profit center and gets saved.  But when we do LSMW recording of the same transaction code FB01 and every information same, when we are done with entering the second line item (Posting Key 50 - G/L migration acct 111111), and amount,  a window pops up asking for a profit center. THough it is not a Cost element, why are we getting prompted to enter a profit center. THis only pops up when doing LSMW recording. Ither wise when we are running this transaction , it does not ask for a profit center. Please help. It is very urgent. we are doing the LSMW recording for migrating customer open balances.

  • LSMW for Listings via Batch Input recording - Help ?

    Hi
    Has anyone had any luck with trying to upload Listings via LSMW at all ?
    I have created on, via batch input recording
    I have lots of records with entries from 1 to 16
    I have recorded enough entries to cope with 16
    However when i try to execute the batch session, if there is only 1 material that requires an entry, then i cannot get past this screen, the LSMW is wanting entries for the next line and so on
    I presume I must have to put some sort of a ruling in per Material number it is expecting, so if it is not poupulated then to move on, but to save the entries that have already been made
    I do not have much experience in writing rules into LSMW so
    Any ideas / help would be much appreciated
    Thanks
    Tony

    Hello Tony,
    In the past I have suggested this to few people and were successful with this link, please try, but only thing you need to take care is use VB02 instead of XK01 with reference to this link what I am trying to say.

  • MX Records help

    Hello,
    We have a domain website and email that is hosted outside our network. We are now implementing email in-house but our website will still be outside. what do I do for MX records, name server records, A records, cname records etc. I cannot add another www.
    cname record to register.com because I already have on to our hosting address.
    PLEASE HELP!
    thank you!
    Brenna

    You might want to create an 'A' record named 'mail' and give the IP Address of your in-house exchange server.
    After this, create an MX record with the value mail.domain.com. Remember to give a lower value for preference, so as to prioritize your in-house Exchange Server to your existing MX records.
    You might also want to get an SSL certificate with this name (mail.domain.com). The name is your choice, as per the organization demand.
    After configuring the MX records, you might also want to look at adding the external domain as your accepted domain.
    Configure the send/receive connector for external mail flow.
    Open the required ports in the firewall
    Configure the internal and external URL for OWA etc as per your requirement

  • Distinct record help!

    Hi All,
    Hope you are doing great!
    I have the following query.
    SELECT DISTINCT DT.STD_ID STDID,
    UP.FIRST_NAME FIRSTNAME,
    UP.LAST_NAME LASTNAME,
    DT.TYPE ROLE,
    NVL2 (CT.USER_ID, 'Y', 'N') CKCTEAM,

    USER_PROFILE UP
    WHERE D.DEAL_ID = DT.DEAL_ID
    AND DT.STD_ID = UP.STD_ID
    AND D.DEAL_ID = 'D0002064';
    And the following result.
    STDID     FIRSTNAME LASTNAME ROLE     CKCTEAM     USER_ID

    I need the results to have distinct records based on the first name and last name irrespective of the roles. Now you can see from the result set that there is a duplicate record for "MAHIA     ANNA" since the user has 2 different roles.
    Appreciate your help on this.
    Thanks in advance

    Use query from my previous post, if you want to group your records only by names. Or this, if you want to group by all except role.
    SELECT DT.STD_ID STDID,
    UP.FIRST_NAME FIRSTNAME,
    UP.LAST_NAME LASTNAME,
    max(DT.TYPE) ROLE,

  • Simple Sound Recording - Help needed

    Hi there
    Im wondering if this is possible and if so , does anbody know offhand where I can find a basic implementation of this typea thing...
    I simply need to be able to read in a wav file, then record it and give it a different name. I am just trying to get this basic functionality sorted, because I will be progressing on to reading in a file, runninig some DSP algorithm on it, and then needing to save it back out, so I elieve that I need to write it in chunks much the same as the SourceDataLine buffers the sound...err am i making sense?
    I have been trying to do this with TargetDataLine, and its just getting the better of me at the moment, I am able to read in the file and play it as normal, its just the recording it to an output file where I am failing.
    thanks a million
    conaill

    Do I get you right that you want to read a sound file into memory and then store it back to the hard disk? If this is the case, try this:
    int frameSizeInBytes;
    int bufferLengthInFrames = 32;
    int bufferLengthInBytes;
    byte[] data;
    int numBytesRead;
    BufferedReader mIn;
    AudioFormat format;
    ByteArrayInputStream bIn;
    AudioInputStream outStream;
    File o;
    int soundLength;
    soundLength = 1000;
    f = new File("infile.wav");
    inStream = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(f);
    format = inStream.getFormat();
    frameSizeInBytes = format.getFrameSize();
    bufferLengthInBytes = bufferLengthInFrames * frameSizeInBytes;
    data = new byte[soundLength];
    o = new File("outfile.wav");
    // read the sound data
    numBytesRead = inStream.read(data, 0, soundLength);
    inStream.close();
    // now write it back
    bIn = new ByteArrayInputStream(data);
    outStream = new AudioInputStream(bIn, format, soundLength);
    AudioSystem.write(outStream, AudioFileFormat.Type.WAVE, o);This reads only a portion of a file, you'll have to modifiy it.
    Hope this helps,

  • Only left channel records - help please

    Here's my set up. I have DVR with a bunch of movies. I am taking S video out and RCA audio out to a Sony DCR TRV 120 camcorder. This camera can act as a DV bridge. I am going out from the Sony via FW into my PB and trying to capture the movie in iMovie 5.0.2.
    Everything is working except that I am only getting audio from the left speaker on the computer. I checked the computer in iTunes and sound comes from both speakers. I checked the camera with headphones and there is sound coming into the camera in stereo.
    So, it must either be that I am losing the right channel via FW or the DV bridge in the camera.
    I have imported many movies from Hi8 tape without a problem. Is there anything I am missing here? Should try to go from the camera's headphone out to the audio in on the PB? Could it be a faulty FW cable?
    Is this a problem with iMoive 5.x? I have read this forum all night long and not found anyone else with the problem.
    I appreciate all replies.

    "..I checked the computer in iTunes and sound comes from both speakers.."
    So the computer's audio is OK.
    "..I checked the camera with headphones and there is sound coming into the camera in stereo.."
    No: probably not real stereo; it may be the same mono audio coming out of both channels (left & right), giving you the same mono audio in both sides of the headphones. The camcorder may be trying to 'do you a favour' ..and, because it's receiving only mono, it's helpfully(?) playing the one incoming channel out of both headset channels.
    "..So, it must either be that I am losing the right channel via FW or the DV bridge in the camera.."
    No: FireWire is just a digital link which carries exactly what it's being fed - you can't lose a right channel via FireWire: it passes on exactly what it receives ..like handing on a cake to someone: the person who receives it from you wouldn't receive it with half the raisins or the self-raising flour or the egg missing ..it's all handed on complete.
    "..the DV bridge in the camera.." Well, as I said; I think you'll find that the camera is receiving only through its left channel, but is providing that left-channel audio out of both sides (..left & right..) of your 'phones.
    So the problem is probably at the very source: your "..DVR with a bunch of movies". Either the movies are recorded in mono, and that's leaving your DVR through only the left channel, or - even if the movies really are stereo - only the left-channel is active (..is connected properly, or has sound going through it..) from your DVR to the Sony camcorder.
    One way to fix this is to take the output from the left-channel of the DVR, and feed that to both the L & R cables which go to your camcorder. Use a 'splitter/joiner' like this..
    ..so you'd connect the left audio channel out of the DVR (..should be a white RCA/phono plug..) to the single pin of this adaptor, and then connect the pair of RCA/phono sockets on the back of the adaptor to both the left and the right audio inputs of the camcorder ..you may be using a 3.5mm jack plug to connect the phono plugs into the camcorder's input.
    This kind of little mono to both channels adaptor is available by mail order from most electronics stores, e.g: here, and the simplest place to find one in the States is probably Radio Shack, or that kind of store.
    It's a common problem..

  • Capture Recording help

    Hi,
    In previous logics i used to use 'capture as recording' all the time, and it would capture my last cycle of whatever midi parts i played. Now though when i use capture recording it captures ALL the previous cycles, which i can see how that would be useful but i don't like it personally and can't find a way to turn that off.
    Anyone know how i can get capture recording to just capture the last cycle only?
    Thanks in advance for any help
    Tom

    i'm agree.
    but no way.

  • Multichannel EXS & Aux... Recording help?!

    Hey,
    Ok, i'm venturing into the Multichannel EXS world, after many failed attempts, have read the manual's relevant sections (which actually just throws you back & forth between page 303 & 298...) and i'm left not really knowing what's happening..
    I've selected the EXS as multichannel
    Loaded up my drum kit
    started up 5 mono Aux channels
    Now, i'm assigning the outputs in EXS's edit screen to these mono Aux channels, but can only do so in stereo?!?! So, i'm sending the kick to 3-4, snare to 5-6 etc but I want Kick on 3, Snare on 4 etc... How do I do that?
    Also, once all that is done, how do you then record each 'Aux' seperately? I activated record on the Aux & went to record the output, and it doesn't record, tried to bounce, but it bounces stereo. I want a track of kick, snare, hat's, toms etc..
    I'm sure this is easy to someone who knows the in's & out's of such things, but on my first persevering attempted (tried before several times but gave in) I'm not willing to give up till I understand it. I've scoured google & the manual but nothing has made sense...
    Any help or walk through would be eternally appreciated...
    Thanks for reading.

    Regarding mono aux outputs, I'm not quite sure about
    how it works. To make them mono I don't know how, but
    I'd like to know too. What I know that you CAN do in
    Ultrabeat is assign to sounds to a stereo pair and
    then hard pan them left and right (Out 3 being on the
    left, out 4 on the right, for example) but it seems
    kind of hokey compared to what you'd like to see.
    Yeah, after poking around I figured that, it's strangely implemented, but that's Logic!! As above, the 11 & onwards are all mono. It'd be good to be able to assign mono or stereo yourself, and I don't really know why you can't!!
    Also, when it comes to assigning the outputs of a
    multi-channel Audio Instrument to aux channels, you
    don't need to record the sound. The aux channels will
    send the routed sound to the assigned output channel,
    so if it's headed to Output 1-2 the assigned Aux
    channel sound will be in your mixdown.
    Ok, makes sense. But I really want to mix the drums down to audio within my mix. My insticts were to be able to just record from the AUX & have it create the split mixes in Audio so i'm not running EXS anymore, but I have to figure out how to do that, or if it will be of any processor benefit streaming 8 tracks of audio instead of running 8 AUX channels..
