No audible audio from VHS capture

I captured the material on a VHS tape, but can't hear the audio after putting the clip on the timeline. There are levels showing on the audio mixer, but they are around -42 even with the master up to +12db. Any ideas as to how to get audible audio?

1. are the levels on the vhs at -48? if so you need to run them out the vhs into a mixer gain up then into the 3000. the 3000 has led's on the front make sure the first 2 led's of 3 are solid with your gain level when the vhs is playing (this is at approx -12db) I've got a 3000 too and you can monitor out the rca out on the back. just don't create a loop, the feedback will kill your recording... basically if you're going out of the vhs to the mixer to the 3000 do not have the 3000 sound going to the mixer with ANY volume...Turn it to 0. then you can monitor through the 3000 to a mixer to your speakers or amp then speakers.
computer firewire ---->3000 ----> mixer --->amp/powered speakers
** THEN you need to disengage the capture window (open-apple 8) to hear what's on the timeline...wierd bug i think... not sure why this happens..maybe Bogsian or the others may know the technical reasons why this happens...maybe something to do with input/output engaged for capture disables the output through that device...wow i almost sound technical.
hope this helps

  • Adobe Audition 3.0 and Pinnacle 700 USB - How to record audio from VHS tapes???

    Hi Friends,
    I am new to Adobe Audition 3.0. I need your help.
    Actually I am having a old Pinnacle 700 USB capture card. I want to record some audio in my computer by Adobe Audition.
    I downloaded and installed required driver for Pinnacle 700 USB (for Vista).
    But when I tried to capture audio from my VHS tapes, It not showing proper options. I don't know how to proceed further.
    Could any one please help me... Please let me know what all I need to do.
    Waiting for your helpful suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Yash

    The Pinnacle is a video capture device and as such captures the video and audio into one MPEG or DV stream. Audition can't see it as an audio card and therefore can't capture audio directly from your video source. However once you have captured a video file using the Pinnacle you can probably get to the audio by using the Open Audio from Video command in the File menu in Audition.

  • Audio from a captured clip over still graphics

    I capture the on-camera portion of my presentation and then place graphics and titles over the captured video. How can I allow the audio from the clip to continue when a graphic appears, other than using the non-transition effects? To see what I'm doing visit www.jimblue.com and click on the Toledo Media Vlog at the top of the page.

    I am having the same challenge... any tips here would help me out in a big way. I recorded my boss tdoing a training session and now I would like to have the powerpoint slides change as necessary - but I want the audio to remain. I would love to just get the slides to change rather than back to full before bringing up the next slide. Jim, if you come up with anything, let me know. I have VC2 pro.

  • Downloading PCM audio from VHS videotape

    Good evening. I may be over my head here, but here goes.
    I have a VHS tape that was used in the early days of digital audio recording (1983) to record a concert. The helical track was used to record the sound digitally in two channels--simple stereo, and the linear tracks were used to record the same sound in VHS HIFI (which is actually pretty good).
    I would like to download the digital music from the videotape into iTunes on an iMac so I can transfer it onto a CD. I have a properly working VHS HIFI recorder to serve as the playback source.
    A professional has quoted $350 to do this, and I wonder whether this is something mere mortals can do on their own.
    Many thanks for any information/advice you might be able to provide.

    an xlr adapter cable will work correctly if the quality of components are reasonable, if it doesn't work correctly there is a fault
    xlr connectors can supply either balanced or unbalanced sound signals, a converter using a transformer should ideally be used the player may be balanced the Canopus is unbalanced.The afore mentioned cable will work for the purpose you require ie - not broadcast spec, connected over a short distance, its cheap and easy to connect.
    keep the sound cables away from the mains power cable

  • Imovie video NTSC to PAL from VHS captures only in Black & White, HELP!

    I'm trying to capture video via a Pinnacle Moviebox to Imovie. PAL VHS through the box is fine, no problem. As soon as I switch to NTSC setting and run an NTSC VHS tape the picture reverts to Black and White. Changed the cable, changed the VHS player, talked to Pinnacle, no advice offered. I am getting deperate! Need to transfer tapes urgently for a show-reel. All advice gratefully accepted.

    Check your settings and cables: feeding composite video through a s-video cable yields B&W image.
    So set the (S)VHS deck to either composite-out/s-video-out and use a corresponding composite/s-video cable and feed that into composite-in/s-video-in.
    Also remember that a SCART connector can use either composite or s-video.
    ...there are quite many permutations that can go wrong there!
    Also older PAL TVs play NTSC as B&W.

  • Is it possible to delete the audio of a captured clip permanently?

    I know you can drag clips to the timeline without audio, or delete the audio from the timeline.
    What I'm asking is: say you captured a bunch of clips with audio tracks that you didn't want, because you forgot to uncheck the audio box.
    Is there some way you can delete the audio from the captured clips, without re-capturing everything? I'd like to have them sitting in my browser, without any associated audio.
    I know you can change whether audio is present in a logged (but uncaptured clip) using clip settings, but that only works before the clip is captured.

    Just think about this for a minute before you launch
    yourself off into this realm. The audio doesn't
    really take that much space. DV video runs at 3.6
    MB/sec 48khz audio runs at 192kB/s. The audio takes
    up nothing.
    You're right - it's not worth the effort. It's just a minor annoyance. It would be easier to just recapture all the clips.

  • Unable to capture video from VHS through DAC-200

    (Running Final Cut Pro 5.1.4)
    I have a DAC-200 to hook up my VCR to my G5 in order to capture video from VHS tapes into Final Cut. I had this set-up working a few months ago, but it was disconnected to rearrange equipment and now I can't get it working again. I have followed the advice from the DAC-200 installation instructions and advice from other forum topics but can't seem to get it to work. I finally was able to get something in the log and capture window besides "preview disabled" and "cannot capture because there is no video." I now can get Final Cut to capture video, however it only captures a blank black screen (and this is all I can see in the preview window).
    I've triple-checked every cable hook-up, the G5 recognizes the converter box, the video tape plays fine to a tv. I've even had our IT-guy here at work come check out my set-up for help and he can't figure out what is wrong either. (He did get my log&capture window to get white fuzz in the black screen at one point though. Does that mean anything?)
    Any help is greatly appreciated! (I'm happy to answer any other questions too.) Thanks!

    I had difficullty with the X.4.10 plus QT7.2 and put my info on the Forum as well as sending feedback to Apple. Shortly afterwards, Apple brought out a short security update which I downloaded and, hey presto, I was then able to use QT7.2 with OSX.4.10. It may be that you missed out on the later small update to QT7.2..... ? Another factor I found was that some little while later I again had a problem so I again installed QT7.2 and over-installed FCP5.1.4 which has resolved my problems for the time being. Worth a try if you still can't get through on the DAC.

  • Capturing Audio from DAT

    Hello,
    I'm trying to capture audio from a DAT deck (Tascam DA-20) into FCP HD by routing it through my JVC BR-DV600U DV deck (RCA output from DAT, RCA input to DV deck, Firewire into FCP).
    The DV deck's input is set to line-in, and the audio is being routed through (audio meters on DV deck mimic those on DAT deck, and I can hear the audio through the headphones jacked into my DV deck).
    However, when I try to capture the audio on FCP, I am unsuccessful, prompting the following window from FCP: "Error: Final Cut Pro HD was unable to read the movie file just captured."
    Now, I use the same set up I described above to capture footage from my Beta deck into FCP with no problems (route Beta signal through DV deck and firewire it into FCP). This leads me to believe that perhaps the glitch lies within my Capture Presets.
    At first, I tried to capture the signal as an Audio-Only DV NTSC 48 Khz/Non-controllable device. After that failed, I tried to create my own capture preset, but am not sure it will make a difference, as the only input choices I am given are DV Audio, Built-In Audio, and None.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Why not capture the audio content outside of FCP, check the sample rate for 48Khz/16-bit, convert if necessary, save as an AIFF file, and then import that resulting sound file into FCP?
    Any good audio app, including STP will do captures.
    You are probably going to need to do some cleanup on the audio anyway before you use it, so why not just use an audio app to do it beforehand?
    Besides, if you have an audio device (PCI card or Firewire device) in your Mac, you can use the S/PDIF port for your connection to the DAT and do a digital transfer when you import.
    As I understand the way you are doing it now, you are taking digital content from the DAT, converting it to analog for the connection into your deck, and then re-converting it into digital when you capture it back into FCP.
    One big advantage of digital audio (and video) is to avoid generation loss and added noise during transfer if you go D-to-D.
    If you don't have an audio card or Firewire A/D audio I/O device with S/PDIF ports in your Mac, then see if you can find a friend who has one and can do the transfer for you. Then he can give you the file on a CD-ROM.
    That's what I'd do.

  • Trouble capturing video from VHS via Analogue to DV converter

    I use Final Cut Express 1.0.1 and I've always been able to capture video from VHS via a Director's Cut analogue to DV converter box. Today it keeps freezing on me. I've tried force quit, logged off and back on again and even re-started the computer. I've got plenty of space on my two hard drives (125GB free on main drive and 85.42GB on my scratch disk).
    I'm sure I've set the rest up correctly (composite cable from VHS to DV convertor box set to output and connected to input slots on box, and DV box set to capture). The box is correctly connected to the Mac.
    I've also logged on using another user's account to see if the same problem occurs, and it does. I believe this means that dumping the my preference file won't help, but please correct me if I'm wrong. Any ideas how to stop this freezing on me would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Karen

    Last bit of help from Martin may have some mileage in it as far as excluding hidden problems with the drive you are capturing too.
    Have been reading into the requirements for the hard disc and it does make it clear having a separate one like you have is almost a requirement because of the work it does. Would it be worth trying a small capture to your system disc. If it helps that is how I am working at the moment so it doesn't appear to be instant fireworks if you do use this one but give it some thought first...
    On the firewire port side of things I have seen some unexplained connection issues on this front which were cured by shutting things down, unplugging and then beginning again. Take it System Profile didn't yield anything?
    Now I got back in front of my Mac it appears Quicktime Pro will allow capture from an attached device but appreciate you may not have the Pro bit, iMovie should be as good a test.

  • Can JMF capture audio from sound card?

    I want to know if JMF can capture sound/audio from the sound card. Until now we have been capturing audio from microphone. but is there any possibility of capturing audio from sound card using JMF.
    The audio captured from the sound card is to be streamed using JMF/RTP API.

    Dear seniors,
    i have tried to display my audio file as a graph as
    x axis being the Time and the y axis beeing the frequency/pitch.
    look at this post, i have mentioned all here...
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3073027&#3073027
    is it possible to display as i desired?
    wht the audio stream has? is it frequency or pitch?...
    pls do give me some tips on that...
    thanx in advance

  • Capture Audio from Mic

    I am new to Java and need to know where to start with developing a Java app that can capture audio from a pc's mic, convert it to mp3, name the audio, and store it in a directory of my choosing. Additionally, I'll need an interface to that audio app that can receive function calls and args from a windows-based application.
    Can you point me in the right direction- sample code if possible.
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    I have the same problem. There doesn't seem to be any sample code for capturing an audio recording with JMF! I have browsed the web, the usenet groups and the (physical) library. It's almost like they try to keep it secret :/
    There is plenty of information on how to use the JMF player, though.

  • Capture audio from separate device

    Is it possible to capture from a camera, but record the audio at the same time from a different audio device, e.g. soundcard?
    (My camera does not have a separate audio input with reasonable quality, so one could save from having 2 separate files by recording video from camera plus audio from soundcard. I'm not sure if that would really work due to latency problems, but I'd like to give it a try if possible.)
    Thanks!

    My practice is to capture sound separately using an hard disc recorder,from two to twenty-four tracks, and to combine this with the video in Premiere Pro. I use the sound track on the tape to achieve synchronization (which is very easy in Premiere Pro). If the room is small (<100 feet) I can use an on-camera microphone. For best results I use a wireless feed from the recorder to the camera.
    It's important to use a digital recorder, preferably at 48KHz sampling speed (you can convert from 44.1 or something else, but the speed may slip). An analog source, like a cassette deck, varies too much in speed, often more than 5%, to be useful. The sync slip is usually less than 3 frames per hour of recording. Most digital recorders have a digital output which can be captured directly by the computer through firewire or USB. If your only choice is an analog sound card, don't bother - too noisy and bad timing.

  • In v.11, how can I capture video but not audio from a camera?

    In v.11, how can I capture video but not audio from a camera?

    Rodney
    I see what you mean....Premiere Elements 10 appears to be the last version that had options for the user to select Capture Video and/or Audio in the its Capture Window.
    If you are doing DV data capture firewire into the Premiere Elements 11 Capture Windows and want a final file without audio and you cannot do this at the camera level, then consider....
    1. Do the Capture "to the Timeline" - video linked to audio result on the project's Video Track 1
    a. Right click the Timeline DV AVl and select Delete Audio and then edit accordingly.
    or
    b. Import the DV AVI but, when you go to export it, in the export settings, remove the check mark next to Audio so that the export contains only the video portion.
    Publish+Share/Computer/AVI with Presets = DV NTSC Standard
    Please let us know if any of that worked for you.
    Thank you.

  • How to record video or use screen capture WHILE capturing audio from Logic??

    Hi,
    I want to record my self playing guitar and singing using my mac book pro built in camera. I want the audio to come from Logic so I can add whatever effects I want to the vocals. When I say audio from Logic I don't mean recording in Logic and adding it in post. I want it to be on the fly.
    What I used to do was use the screen capturing program Snapz Pro. I would screen capture a box around photobooth for the video, and then record while having Logic's audio in the background. It screen captures my entire computers audio. So for example if I get an aim message the bleep would show up in the recording. Or if I raise the volume or lower it the little click sound fx would be in it as well.
    Capturing the audio this way let me get Logic's audio effects in my video on the fly. It worked out great....until now! :/
    I just got the audio interface "Duet 2". And am using a microphone instead of my mbp's built in one. When ever I tried to record and capture my systems audio - my entire computer would crash. Snapz Pro won't work with the system audio with the interface. It works fine without it though.
    I then tried to use Quicktime's new movie recording feature. I see it only gives an option for microphone and now system audio. So I got soundflower to re route the audio but that doesn't help either. This is because when you capture this way you can't hear anything while your capturing. So if I were to record a video and wanted Logics audio in it, I would have to set the output to Soundflower first. So when I record I cant hear myself which defeats the purpose.
    So my final question is, how can I record video while having Logic's audio? I don't need to record with the mic, because in Logic the mic audio is going thru the system audio with everything else.
    I would like to use a process more similiar to Quicktimes straight movie recording instead of doing an odd way like I used to screen capturing a box around the photobooth screen.
    Thanks

  • Capturing audio from telephone for use in FCP

    My requirement is quite specific, and so far none of previous posts seem to answer my question. So...
    I'm looking to capture audio from my telephone for use in FCP. It won't be a telephone conversation, but a voice text. In other words, an SMS sent to a landline. The audio is saved as a voice message on the answer machine. My phone / answer machine is fairly basic - it has a speaker and the only ports it has is for power and the telephone line itself. I have tried a very basic method of playing the message on speaker and capturing it on a mini DV - but that results in too much audio edit to get it to sound acceptable. My Mac is a G5 and I have the full FC studio, but just not sure of best way to get audio onto the Mac without losing too much of the sound quality.
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks all...

    you need a telephone audio interface like the products made by the fine folks at gentner, telos or jk audio. i have a celltap from jk audio, works very very well. http://www.jkaudio.com/celltap.htm
