No Levels in Voice Over Meter with Presonus Firebox Preamp

I've searched a bit through this forum and it seems this has been a problem in the past for several people. Has anyone figured out why the Presonus Firebox Preamp (using a condenser mic with phantom power)will register sound in Garage Band...Soundtrack Pro...etc, but not in Final Cut Pro 5.
Final Cut Pro's VO utility identifies the Presonus Firebox, but no sound comes through at all...even if you try to record...say a few lines...and then play it back...still absolutely silent.
Help!!!

Check that the sample rate is set the same everywhere:
Presonus dialog

Sequence settings
Audio/Video settings- A/V Devices - Playback Output - Options
and finally, Toolbench Voice Over dialog.

Voice over Wireless with Cisco phones 7921 and 7925

Hello experts,
I made an wireless audit for a company.
They have 2 WLCs 5508 in HA mode, with APs 2602 for indoor and 1552. Version of the WLC : 7.6.120.0
At the end of the day we noticed that the roaming between indoor and outdoor access points is sometimes failing and results to a complete disconnection of the wireless phone (7921 or 7925) from the network. When people go from the indoor to the outdoor area, there is no problem. The problem comes when people are coming from the outdoor to the indoor.
Also, on the WLC, the power lvl of the outdoor APs are set to 1 ... Is it good or not ?
My question is, is there any known issue about Voice over wireless with WLC 5508-7.6.120.0 with APs 2602 and 1552 ?
Maybe it should be better to upgrade to 7.6.130.0 ?
Thanks in advance,
Alexis

Normally yes.
Is there a way to troubleshoot what's going on with the phones ? Maybe a "show client detail MAC address* on the WLC ?
Here are some logs when the phones are losing the network :

Quick ? regarding PreSonus Firebox preamp

About to use my new PreSonus Firebox preamp for the first time. Will try with a mic first, then try to run my electric guitar and bass guitar through it.
But which inputs should I use for the guitars? The back "line in" jacks? Or, the front "mic/instrument" jacks? And does it matter which channel I select? 1 or 2?
The manual says the electric guitars can go into the front "mic/instrument" jacks if they "do not" have a preamp in the guitar. If they do, they should go into the back "line in" jacks.
I don't know whether my guitars have a built-in preamp. Never thought about it. It appears possible "damage" could occur, presumably to the Presonus preamp, if I do this wrong. Is that right?
Any thoughts would be deeply appreciated.

Check that the sample rate is set the same everywhere:

Trouble viewing audio levels in Voice Over tool

Hello,
I often record voice over into Final Cut Pro using the Voice Over tool. In the middle section of the Voice Over window there is a 'Level' meter that flashes Green to Yellow and Red, illustrating the level of audio being fed into the Mac. For some reason though, this has stopped working for me.
My set up is this: A Mic in our voice over booth connects to a Soundcraft 4 channel mixing desk via an XLR cable. The mixing desk is linked to a JVC HD tape desk, which is connected to the Mac via FireWire.
Previously, to capture Voice Over I set the tape deck to 'Line' input, in 'DV' mode and set the Voice Over tool to 'DV Audio' as the source.
I can see sound levels on the mixing desk. I can see sound levels on the tape deck, but I can't see sound levels on the Mac's VO tool. Despite this, it does still capture voice over (I just can't 'see' it).
This problem is annoying because it means Im unsure whether the Mac is actually receiving an audio feed or not unless I do a test recording first.
Any suggestions as to why the Voice Over tool would suddenly stop showing me Levels, would be greatly appreciated!

My secondary Mac works fine when the AV settings are set to HDV, despite it receiving standard DV audio input. Whether FCP is set to DV or not doesn't seem to matter in this case.
In trying to resolve the issue I played around with DV/HDV settings within FCP and the Deck; trying different combinations, but with no success.
+To recap (just to clarify in my own head), the situation is this:+
+Both of my Macs, Primary and Secondary, happily record Voice Over, via the Voice Over tool.+
+The Mic in the sound room connects to a Mixing desk via an XLR cable. The mixing desk is also connected to 2 sets of headphones, one for the Artist and one for the Engineer. 2 audio jacks connect the mixing desk to the JVC tape deck. The JVC tape deck connects to my Mac via FireWire to the port at the rear of the Mac.+
+The issue is that the Primary Mac does not display audio Levels in the Voice Over tool, whilst it does on the Secondary Mac.+
+While Im recording Voice Over on my secondary Mac I can see that there is an Audio input because the Green/Yellow/Red bar flashes up. On my Primary mac this bar is inactive and therefore gives me no clues as to the level of audio being fed into the Mac.+

Ipod 4th Gen Shuffle - voice over prob with podcasts

Hi. I have TWO of these cute little shuffles and I really like them.
The problem is that each lives with its OWN Mac, each with its own install of itunes on the mac and BOTH OF THEM will refuse to say some of the PODCAST names.
So for example in the computery voice when I press and hold the voice over button it will say:
ABOVE AND BEYOND TRANCE AROUND THE WORLD
then "Podcast 2" instead of "The Dave Ramsey Pocast
Then For mac eyes only
Then "podcast 4" instead of "Tiestos club life".
It doesn't seem to matter how many podcast episodes are in each major podcast label or whether I have started listening to the podcast or if its "unplayed".
I have both of the shuffles set to "sync all podcasts" because I only have a few podcasts and there is always room..
It seems sort of random.
Any thoughts?

SOLVED! The person who posted in another message to voice over not working with all podcasts got it right and it worked
So you go to SUMMARY tab when clicking on your ipod , unclick voice over, click APPLY. Then click voice over then click APPLY. Then it all works!
Re: Voiceover not working with all podcasts
May 15, 2011 11:51 PM (in response to jessicafromclitherall)
sanfranciscotx was the person who gave this anser.
You need to go to the Shuffle settings page, disable Voiceover, apply settings, the re-enable Voiceover to reset the spoken data.

Can I get the voice over Bluetooth with Google Map on WEBOS 2.0 (Palm Pre 2)?

Hi,
I just got a Palm Pre 2 with WEBOS 2.0, I am wondering if there is a setup or an application that can provide/enable the GPS voice over bluetooth when using the direction from the Google Map?
Post relates to: Pre 2 p102una (Rogers)

Hello Danmtl,
If what you are referring to is being able to use a Bluetooth headset for Google Maps voice navigation, then you're in for disappointment. Google Maps w/ Navigation is only available for Android devices at this point in time, although there are talks of Google allowing the service to be placed on Windows Phone 7. As for the WebOS lineup, your only options for voice navigation would be either Verizon's VZ Navigator or Spint's Sprint Navigation. Either of those would require that you had purchased the phone specifically from that provider, so no luck for you there.
Looks like we're all waiting on Google to step in for us at this point in time!

Is mac voice over compatilbe with pro tools 10?

I have a new 17inch macbook pro with Liion, and I just purchased adn installed Avid Pro Tools 10. I'm wondering if Voice Over is compatible with Pro Tools 10.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If your Mac shipped with 10.5.2, no.
If your Mac shipped with an older operating system, it depends.
According to http://www.digidesign.com/ you need a Mac with Tiger to run Protools LE. Check with them which version of Tiger it will work with.
Then check this article to see if your Mac can run that version of Tiger:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303315
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25517
If it can't, sell your Mac, and get a used or refurbished one which can.
Once you know your Mac can run that version of Tiger, if it is an Intel Mac, make sure you have the original Tiger installer which shipped with the Mac, as the retail Tiger installer will not work on the Intel Macs. Once you have discovered which version of Tiger works, backup your data at least twice*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
and Erase and Install Tiger on your Mac. Archive and Installing Tiger over Leopard does not work. Your other option is to get a Firewire external hard drive and install Tiger on that. http://www.macsales.com/ sells such hard drives. You can also partition your existing hard drive to have both Tiger and Leopard on it by erasing it with your Leopard Disk Utility and using its Partition function when booted off the Leopard installer, and selecting Disk Utility from the Utilities menu of the Leopard installer. Restore your documents to your hard drive from the backup when done. Applications may need to be reinstalled after an erase and install using the registration codes of the said applications.
See my FAQ* here on how to buy used and refurbished Macs:
http://www.macmaps.com/usedrefurbished.html
And in the future always check the compatibility of the software you need before upgrading your operating system.

Sending voice over UDP with JavaSound

Hello,
do anybody know how to send voice over UDP?. I have .wav files and I want to send them over UDP. If you have an example of this, send me it please. All the examples that I have seen only send one or to lines of text, but I need to know if I should convert the frames to bytes to be sent.
Thank your help

Voice over Frame with FXS

I have two branch routers connected to central site over frame relay network.
Now i've put fxs cards in all three routers and want voice connectivity among all three routers.
Basically its like hub and spoke.. one central site connecting on sub-interface to two other sites on frame network.
What is the best way to configure these three routers ???
please advice

Your requirements seem vey simple so my suggestion is to keep the configuration very simple as well. You need a dialplan which allows each site to call the other two sites.
I would suggest you use voice over ip OVER frame, rather than just voice over frame. There is a little bit more overhead, but ease of troubleshooting and configuration makes it worth it.
You need two voip dial peers at most to differntiate what destination patterns go to which site and one pots dial peer for each FXS port that you have a phone attached to.
For QOS, i suggest using frame relay traffic shaping and if necessary LLQ.
Hope this answers your question.

Problem with Presonus Firebox and Macbook Pro

I own a Presonus Firebox firewire audio inteface, which seems to have a problem with bus power. If I plug in the the firebox using firewire, it is not seen by the OS, and the blue power light flashes faintly. If I then plug in the mains power cord, it works fine. If I then unplug the power cord, it STILL works fine.
This has me beat...if there isn't enough power from the firewire port, how come it manages to stay on after I unplug the mains?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
17" Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

FINALLY someone else has this problem. I was
beginning to feel like the only person in the world!
Thats why I posted as soon as I saw your comments. I was also glad to see I was not alone. I have contacted presonus via email about it. What is the easiest way to contact apple? By phone support? I want to get this problem recognized as high up the ladder as possible, and not have to go the through their usual protocol of trouble shooting that I know wont fix it (i.e. repair permissions, reset pram, ect...).
Also, another thing we should do is post it on presonus's message boards to flag other users with the problem and get this issue into the spotlight so it gets fixed. I thought I saw that presonus has message boards but I could not find them. Please post their link if you know it. MacFix it is another good place that will draw attention to this problem. We should also post there. In addition I am going to email a Mac podcast I listen to about this. I know the host has a 17" MBP. Does this issue effect using external hard drives without AC adapter as well? That way I could have him test this.
Thanks for the work around but I would not even dare attempt that kind of soldering and such do to lack of experience. I'd consider paying you to make me one if you know what your doing and your sure it wont negatively effect anything:)

Need help with PreSonus Firebox, MIDI, and inputs and outputs

Hey everybody, I'm new, and I just recently got Logic Pro 8 and a PreSonus Firebox. I have had no trouble with recording MIDI in Logic, but I have had problems with recording audio devices, like a guitar or a bass.
When I record MIDI, I hear it perfectly through the speakers on the Mac, and it records just fine. But the guitar won't come through. I have tried changing the core audio device to "PreSonus Firebox," in which case I still can't hear the guitar, but it records. Once it's been changed to this device, I can't hear anything else I've recorded either, like the MIDI. Once I've changed it back to "Built in input," I can hear everything, including the recorded guitar.
So the problem is, why can't I make Firebox my input, and my computer the output, so I can play through the Firebox and hear it on the computer?
Here is how everything is laid out: I have a Casio keyboard connected by MIDI through the Firebox, which is connected to my Macbook Pro through FireWire. There is also a guitar plugged into the Firebox. Please help, I'm really excited to start recording!

sorry I'm not getting a few things....
1) how do I create a midi object?
you create the midi object in the midi inst layer of your environment. at the top left under the menu that says "new" select the very 1st thing in the list, "instrument" (midi instrument)
2) where do I assign the midi output?
after you create the instrument the perameters box opens on the left. you assign the port and channel there
5) where are the audio outs?
to what? the roland? doesn't it have audio output?
I've been reading the manual and have tried various
forums.... been trying to get this since last
night.... my brain. I know it's gotta be simple...
not real simple but not real hard either

I'm trying to trigger voice over audio with markers in a Edge timeline.

I’m working on 4 instructional videos.
Audio was not part of the initial plan, but it is now.
Here’s the current edge video: http://docs.smoke51.com/Social/email/setup/web/
I’m trying to sync the audio to the sections of the instructional video.
There are 5 sections in the video; each can be triggered by a click. The play and pause buttons also work.

on the button element that you use to pause the animation, you can have the audio pause as well.
you might try something like the following:
var myaudio = new Audio();
myaudio.src = 'narration.wav';
myaudio.pause();
or with an audio tag such as <audio id="soundfile">, you can use:
myaudio = $('soundfile');
myaudio.pause();
for the timeline, you can use sym.stop();
that way, when one pauses, the other one does also.
to autostart, set a trigger at 0ms on your timeline, then in the editor, put:
var myaudio = new Audio();
myaudio.src = 'narration.wav';
myaudio.play();
hope this helps.

Adobe Edge - How to voice over syncing with time-line animation in adobe edge ?

Hi ,
I have created e-learning animation demo in using edge animate tool.
I want to add voiceover in this demo & functionality (play/ pause button, sound on/off)
Regards
Susanta Kumar Muduli

This has worked for me inserted into a click event:
var newSound = new Audio();
        newSound.src = "music.mp3";
        newSound.volume = 0.5;
        newSound.play();
In a browser I have gotten it to play automatically, but on my stupidphone I have to click on something.
from Edge Animate JavaScript Docs - on Help Menu: Look at the example they cite
bindTimelineAction
Symbol.bindTimelineAction ( compId, symbolName, timelineName, eventName,actionFunction )
compId - The composition ID, passed through the project-level closure. For example, "EDGE-519469".
symbolName - The symbol ID, passed through the symbol closure.
timelineName - The timeline name.
eventName - The event. For example, click.
actionFunction - The JavaScript function that executes when the trigger action fires. For stop, complete, and play events, the action function takes no arguments. For update events, the argument is elapsed. the milliseconds elapsed since the start of the timeline's playing.
Description: Defines a function that executes when the specified timeline event is triggered.
Example:
Symbol.bindTimelineAction(compId, symbolName, "Default Timeline", "play", function(sym, e) {
var adobesound=new Audio();
adobesound.src="sound/SleepAway.mp3";
sym.setVariable("adobesound", adobesound);
this.getSymbol("volplus").stop(0);
this.getSymbol("volminus").stop(0);
adobesound.volume=0.1;
$(adobesound).bind("ended",function(){
adobesound.play();
Good luck

Working with voice over and a Blackmagic Multibridge Eclipse

I cant make the voice over work with my Blackmagic. I've tried with my M-Audio but I get the same result... No audio in voice over. The only way I can record is if I use Soundtrack.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks

so many options here but to start with basics:
using Firewire:
mic > XLR cable > XLR mic input of mixer > Firewire out of mixer > Firewire Input of Mac
using Decklink:
mic > XLR cable > XLR mic input of mixer > balanced output of mixer > balanced line in of Decklink
the mixer must have a mic input, which has an internal preamp, a line level input is no use; you need some thing like this ?
