Newly recorded audio is offset

I'm running Logic 9 in Yosemite on a 2011 MacBookPro...since installing Mavericks & now Yosemite, whenever I record an audio clip it appears (& plays) about 1 beat ahead of the place in time where it was recorded. I have to drag the clip back to the right place on the timeline. What could be causing this?
Thanks, Brian

In Preferences/Audio make sure the setting "Recording Delay" is set at 0 <zero>

Recording Audio Playback offset/delayed

As a loyal Logic member since version 7, I recently started having a problem when playing back audio tracks. The audio seems to playback behind the beat. Is there a recording playback offset or delay option perhaps I accidently switch on or altered?
Please help.

Are these recently recorded audio tracks?
If so.. look at: Preferences/Audio See the "Record Delay" adjustment? It should be set to zero.
PlugIn Delay Compensation should be set to: Audio and Sortware Instrument Tracks.
Low Latency Mode disabled.

Audio-video offset in (extra) long movie recordings

Lately we are recording extra long movies with QuickTime (Mac OS X 10.4.x, QuickTime 7.0.x)
Typical movie recording durations are 2 to 15 hours.
Hereunder the applications we use to record the movies are listed:
* ChannelStorm (http://channelstorm.com/) Live Channel Pro 2.2.2 (Tiger edition)
* Apple QuickTime Player 7.0.x Pro ("new movie recording" option)
We tried a hole host of audio/video codec combinations but, for almost all of them, we got an acceptable audio-video offset (1 to 5 seconds) after the first hour of recording.
Offsets seem to increase roughly linearly with time. Most combinations give audio in advance with respect to video. The remaining combinations behave the other way round.
Anyone?

Are you using any speed effects? Like Fast motion or slow motion?
If you stick to the pre-sets (25%, 50%, 200%, 400%, etc.) sound is handled well.
If you create a custom speed (say 39% or 159%), then sound will be messed up.
I do in fact use such non-standard values for speed.
I will try to reset them and see what it does for the resulting movie.
(And isn't this the kind of bug we wouldn't expect in an Apple product?)
Anyway, thanks for now. I will report if this helps.

Sync of recorded audio and FLV video.

Hey guys,
I'm having a major problem. I'm trying to create a project
that involves recording audio based on a video and then playing
them back together in sync. The recording is sent to a Flash Media
Server and the video comes from a local file.
When recording starts I create the netConnection and
netStream respectively. I then create an onStatus even for the net
stream so that what the status code == NetStream.Publish.Start the
video begins to play.
Then when I play back the recording I create an inStream for
the newly recorded file to play through. Once its onStatus event ==
"playing" the my local video file starts.
To me this all seems logical but there are obvious sync
issues. I've managed to capture a delay between my initial call for
my outStream to publish and the time that it actually sends the
onStatus event. I've tried thinking of ways to use this data to
affect my playback but nothing has worked right now.
Hopefully someone out there has worked on a similar project
or at least has experience with these types of things.
Thanks so much in advance,
Mr. PinC

I have been searching the internet for days on a simple, standard answer for my problem. I am shooting video using a Canon 5d mark II and recording audio separately using an Olympus LS-10. I want to sync the audio from the Olympus to the video from the 5d mark II. I am editing with Final Cut Express 4. When I try doing it manually, the audio from the Olympus seems to be in between frames and I cannot line them up exactly.
I exported the movie files through MPEG Streamclip to Apple DV/DVCPRO-NTSC, 720x480(DV-NTSC). I converted the audio files in Itunes to AIFF files at 48khz and 16 bit stereo.
What are the exact settings I should be using for the video and audio?
Do I need to change the frame rate of the video?
Do I need to change the sample rate or speed of the audio?
Is there a way to slide the audio clip in between frames?
Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you in advance for any help!
I suspect a 44.1 crept in during transcoding.

Difference?: Offset Audio Sync Tool and Audio Frame Offset Value

Here's my Set-Up:
Editing a project shot film, audio recorded to CD. Xfer'd to DVCProHD with audio synced up. Downconverted capture to DV for editing in powerbook.
Computer: 1.67 ghz PowerBook G4 with 1.5 GB RAM
Final Cut Pro Version: 5.0.4
QuickTime: 7.0.4
OSX: 10.4.4
Editing timebase: 29.97 non-drop
My problem:
I have clips that when played in the viewer are fine and in sync. When cut into the timeline some drift out of sync. If I apply the offset Audio Sync Tool at it's default 2 frames to the master clip and cut it back in it goes back to sync - for a while. Matchframe back to master clip and it's OK. Why is the timeline not holding the setting? Corrupt timeline?
When and how is the Audio Frame Offset (default is 4) found in Systme Settings/Playback Control used? Is there a relationship between it and the Offset Audio Sync Tool?
FWIW: tapes were batched captured - I have master clips that are all about 22 minutes long. I subclipped each take and scene for editing. When I use the offset audio sync tool I apply it to the long Master clips. The problematic Subclips don't seem to be affected if I try to apply just to them.
TIA.

Being exported from tower mac, not laptop... we have tried exporting directly from final cut and from quicktime pro... sync is off when played on PCs but seems fine on the mac...we have tried adjusting the frame offset as well... do think it could have anything to do with clicking the box "prepare for internet streaming"
Thanks

Unable to record audio

I am trying to record audio into Logic through a electro-acoustic guitar and AKG microphone, which are both plugged into my Saffire 6 interface. Everytime I set up a new audio track and select the 'R' record button, a loud static noise plays through my monitors. You can see that the interface is picking up a signal from the guitar but all you can hear is the static.
When I increase the gain on the instrument channel on my interface, the noise stays at the same level. But when I increase the volume of the monitors or the volume of the mixer channel in Logic the noise gets louder. This makes me think that all the cables are fine but it is something to do with a setting in Logic.
The mixer channel in logic always looks like this when audio recording is enabled:
I've read on some other forums that it might be to do with the buffer size - I've tried changing this but the problem seems to persist. I also read that it might have something to do with setting the midi clocks in the synchronization tab but there wasn't enough information explaining how to do this.
My midi setup currently looks like this:
I've had this problem for ages now and can't find a way around it....

Couple of more questions:
Does the Focusrite have a feature called zero latency monitoring, also called direct monitoring? If so make sure it is turned off and not used. The Saffire has a "Mixer" knob, do you have that in the correct position. Do you have the latest drivers? 2.6 it looks like.
http://www.focusrite.com/products/audio_interfaces/saffire_6_usb/downloads/
Does the microphone channel work ok? Have you tried reversing them.
What happens to that channel if the guitar is not plugged in, is there any noise?
Are you using a standard 2-conductor guitar cable, or is it by chance a three conductor stereo cable? It should be just a standard guitar cable.
It there anything else being used on the USB bus, are you plugged into a USB hub or directly into the Mac?
Speaking of which, wht Mac and OS?

Recording audio from a DVD

Does anyone know of a good freeware or shareware program for recording audio from a DVD into any format?

Trying to record Stereo Mix with a monitor through my headphones. Using Screenium to record Audio and Video, using Avid MBox Mini with MXL 909 Microphone for the audio through the interface.

Basically, what I am trying to do is this:
Record my screen through Screeenium, record my voice as audio through an Avid MBox Mini (interface) with a MXL 909 microphone to pick up the audio. I have all that figured out. I'm able to efficiently record my audio and screenplay through these instruments and programs. What I am having trouble with is the stereo mix. I am running into a slew of problems here... My goal: Add on the audio of a game that I am playing (for example, Amneisia) so that the audio for my game will be picked up internally, and not through the speakers to be recorded through the microphone. I want there to be no external sound except me talking into my microphone. I also want to be able to HEAR the audio of the game through my headphones (and if possible, myself as well, through a monitor maybe?)
Problems I have run into so far:
-Haven't gotten it to pick up in game audio at all while using headphone. Can't figure this out
-Downloaded soundflower, have the output as soundflower. Not picking up anything, will put all my sound and midi settings at the end.
-When I do record through my microphone, it is only picking up a single channel (left earpiece only, no right channel)
-I have figured out it is NOT the equipment, I use Pro Tools and am able to pick up both channels with my mic, recorded a few tests. It's settings and I can't figure it out
-Trying not to run 16 million programs while running the game, will cause lag.
Summed up:
Trying to record:
-Audio from gameplay of any game I am playing through alternative route of speakers (do NOT want to record game audio through speakers, internally)
-Record voice through Avid MBox Mini and MXL 909 microphone.
-Record screen gameplay through Screenium
I followed a guide that told me to achieve "stereo mix'' I need to download soundflower and follow "X" steps. That is done and these are my current settings:
Audio Midi Setup - Stereo Mix custom Aggregate Device, Soundflower (2ch) selected, Avid Mbox Mini selected, Soundflower Output #1 has 2 channels (1-2), using Avid MBox mini for "Input" in order to record. Using Soundflower AND Avid MBox mini as "Output" in order to hear the sounds and replay game sounds (could be the problem? Maybe?)
Sound Settings - Output Stereo Mix (custom channel) Input Avid MBox Mini (recording)
I'm hoping this isn't too hard to understand.. I'm VERY bad at explaining information regarding computers.. It's hard becuase I don't understand it. I can clarify anything that I am able to, so any help on finding certain things would be greatly appreciated.
My computer: Macbook Pro MAC OS X Lion (11G63) 10.7.5 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 4GB 13333 MGz DDR3 (If any of this is imporant)

Hey guys,
I tried to do some research and it looks like you need to have an external device and its drivers, such as an external microphone, installed on the computer to record audio that can be saved as a sound file. Another Suggestion is to try an auxiliary spliter for your headphones and external speakers?
What software are you using to record your game?
If anyone knows anything different, please let me know.

If any one knows how let me know. Oh and I am running the GR Synth and Guitar into the Prosonus Fire Fox and have the GR 33 out midi to the Fire Box as well. So I guss the question is how do I sent up two audo tracks and one midi track to record in real time. Thanks Victor

Try arming the audio tracks, select one of the tracks, then while holding down the shift key, select the midi track you want to record, arming the "r" on the midi track. Press "record".....

Can I record audio on an iPad direct from a mac via line out

I use the noteability app alot, recording audio at a live lecture works great. However, due to a bug you can not add an audio file directly into your notes (at the moment), you must record them.
I have a bunch of podcasts that I would like to add to my notes. I know I could play them from my mac and record audio through the ipads mic but what I hoped to do was connect a male to male cable between the line out of my mac into my ipad, playing the audio without interferance. This didn't work
Does anyone know if there is a similar way to do this or something I could have done wrong.
Thanks

yeah - you can do it, but you need an adapter. The earphone jack on a pad is a special jack with stereo headphone uot put and a seperate mic in channel. The adapters i have seen are usually built to accomodate a standard 1/4 in - into the pad, like the one in the attached link. In theory, you could use the lineout on the mac, to a 1/4 in male - then into this adapter to get it back into the pad. Somebody probably makes the cable you need with the 1/4 shift, but I couldn't find one.
Options - in you notes, insted of copying the file, put a link to the podcast

Can No Longer Record Audio With iMic

I've been using the Camera Connection Kit with the iMic to record audio from my studio via 'Line In' for months with no issue. A few weeks ago, my iPad stopped recording using iMic. It only records with the internal mic now, so the sound is garbage. The software company says it isn't their software that's the problem. Did Apple have an update (prior to latest release) that rendered iMic useless?
Without the ability to record audio in this fashion, the iPad is a useless paperweight for me.
Any help is appreciated.

Users have reported that some accessories that worked with the CCK before the update to iOS 4.2.1 now no longer work. This article, updated after the iOS update give a clue that the update changed what worked.

Record audio is not working

Does anyone know why when I open up the "Record Audio" button why it would not be recording? The audio box appears but there is no sound. It was working but now..... it has stopped and could use some advice. Thanks.

The fact that it also fails in iMovie suggests that this is probably not a problem with FCP X.
That leaves either a hardware failure or a software conflict.
You can check whether the microphone itself is functional by testing in System Preferences->Sound directly.
Open the input panel and speak into the microphone. As you speak, you should get some visual feedback like in the picture below. Do you get some bars or does it stay the same all the time?

Recording audio from device on server

I have some really nice audio recording gear hooked up to my computer, and I got a neat idea. I want to turn my PC into a web server and serve a flash application from it that allows a user to record audio from MY hardware (basically record the output of a mic hooked up to the "server") and then download the resulting audio file to his or her computer. Is this possible to do using a single flash application? I'm sure I could send commands to a C application on the "server" that would do the recording, but I'm wondering if there is a more simple solution. Also, monitoring the audio while it is being recorded would be nice.
Thanks

The issue I see with iTalk and similar iPod apps is that the iPod has no line-level input, so you'd have to use one of the earbud/microphone combinations or an external microphone like this one which will be limited as to quality. There are some other options here. But if you want pro quality, and particularly want to tap straight off of a mixing console, a device like the Alesis is going to be necessary, though there may be something less expensive that I can't find.
If a microphone works for you, then iTalk might be fine. There's a freeware version of iTalk, iTalk Lite, you can try, to see if it will do the job. It doesn't have the advanced playback controls and has a limit of 2MB per recording, but it should allow you to test it out. Voxie is another possibility.
Regards.

Urgent: Flash Player 10, record audio - save locally on button click?

Hi there,
I am wondering if Flash Player 10 will allow a Flex app or a Flash app the ability for the user, inside of a web-page, to record some audio with their microphone then click a button to activate the OS's Save File dialog? The user would then just save the audio on their local filesystem.
I was thinking this had to be done with a Java app, but I am seeing that v10 allows saving if the user initiates the action (button click)... i cannot a definitive answer or example that shows recording audio without it going to FMS or Red5. The requirements of this app prohibit a media server so I am not sure if this can be done with Flash Player 10?
Is this possible? If so are there any examples of this flow?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, everyone,
If we can record audio from Flash Player 10 inside of a webpage and save audio files onto our local places by the use of mic applications, it will be very convenient. In fact, we can turn to use other available programs to record audio from flash and save locally by clicking buttons. It is possible to use recorders to record audio on flash or any other media players.
I don't know whether my guess is what you are thinking or not, perhaps you need to search for more information.
Regards.

Logic Pro 8 mutes newly recorded tracks and won't play back until reload...

Seems like this has happened within the last couple of months. When I record audio in Logic and try to play it back, it won't play the audio. The arrange window shows it is there and the regions do NOT show that they are muted (nor does the channel strip). In essence, it acts as if it is muted, but there are no signs that it is. (I even select the regions and mute then unmute them, and mute and unmute the channel strip, but nothing changes. Still no audio.)
So I have to close the project and reopen it. When I reopen it, every region in the previous recording session (audio) is greyed out (muted) in the arrange window. Once I select them and unmute them, they play back perfectly.
This is a very weird situation. Anybody have any ideas about what the issue is?
Thank you!

A lot of people have reported this, and it happens to me pretty frequently. Gotta be a known bug, but of course since Apple is always mum about this stuff with absolutely no communication to its customers, we won't know until the next version of Logic is released.
