Playback and record Audio Tracks

Dear all,
Maybe a simpel question for you to help me out.
I use Logic Pro 8.
I recorded a song on track 1 and now i want to record vocals on Track 2
Can I play track 1 while recording vocals on track 2?
It doesn't work.
Thanks in advance!!!!

It works with me fine, because when I do Audio recording I use headphones so the microphone doesn't pick up what im saying/singing over and over again.
I always hear what I already have on Logic.
Maybe you have to change something in settings or preferences.

Disabling Sound Devices (Playback and Recording) via Group Policy?

Good day,
I am using an HT-Omega Claro II soundcard which has multiple playback and recording options once installed. For this specific configuration, I want to be able to disable all the unwanted options (including things like the standard PC speakers) in such a
way that only an administrator can make modifications to the available devices. Is there a way to do this via a GPO? I know that via the Sound control panel I can (and have) disable the options I do not want to be available, but there are some users who are
saavy enough to be able to find them and re-enable, which is creating problems for some of the applications that need to be used.
Any input on how to rectify this is greatly appreciated.

I dont think there are sound specific GPO's. If you want to disable the sound, you can disable the sound service from GPO :
Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\System Services\Windows Audio

No output from recorded audio tracks, only midi tracks..please help

I've been working on a song in Garageband and suddenly lost audio from real instruments and can only hear the midi from last night until today. It consists of 3 midi tracks and 9 audio tracks. I have software plugins or FX on almost all 9 tracks with amplitube or similar. Things are slow as the arrow is red at the top, however last night I was able to still make changes - slowly. I was able to do a mixdown and export to mp3. Then I shut the computer down. Today I open up Garageband and can only hear the midi tracks of my song however other songs I have work totally fine. Nothing is muted and I've checked everything. Levels meters are moving on all the tracks, I can just feintly hear one guitar track. This is frustrating. I even tried locking half of the tracks and still nothing. I've rebooted etc and same
I'm running Lion with a TC Konnekt 8 sound module, on a 2.4 core duo 2 MBP with 4 GB of ram

I ran onyx and did a clean up etc then rebooted, loaded GB and same problems. I turned on the ducking thing, everything looked ok and then once I hit play everything worked again. I've turned off ducking and it still works. Could this be a glitch as I've never enabled it before

Cutting and pasting audio tracks?

Im working with mpeg-1 files that have been converted with mpegStreamclip, everythings working great, but i haven't figured out how to cut and paste audio tracks in the timeline. I am trying to copy and use sound extracted from the muxed mpeg. I want to add this ambient sound to run under stills. Any suggestions?

Hi Susan
1. Set TimeLine to audio edit = three tracks.
2. Is there audio on track two or three ? If not. Select clip with needed sound. Advance menu/Extract sound.
3. Now there is a sound portion under the selected clip. Click anywhere (un-select) and now select
the audio portion.
4. Move the Playhead (line witrh yellow triange in top) where You want Your cut in the audio clip.
5. cmd-T [apple-key + T] = a Cut
6. Move the portion in under a still (or make a copy first and move that-one)

What is the differnce between Blue,Purple and Orange Audio Tracks. Can you convert either to Green Midi Track?

What is the differnce between Blue,Purple and Orange Audio Tracks. Can you convert either to Green Midi Track?

Are you asking about Garageband? Your signature also mentions Logic, but I have never worked with that.
Concerning Garageband:
Real Instrument regions from your recordings are purple.
Real Instrument regions from Apple Loops are blue.
Regions from imported audio files are orange.
Software Instrument regions from recordings, loops, and imported MIDI files are green.
So far as I know you can convert software instrument loops to real instrument loops, but not real instrument loops to software instrument loops.

MP4 - anamorph flag and multiple audio tracks

So far Quicktime simply ignores the anamorph flag in mp4 video files, making it impossible to backup dvds and converting them for appletv without a very significant loss in resolution and quality. Will there be an update for this issue soon or is it simply not wanted to allow best possible backups? I know the workarround with the quicktime reference movie, but why not implement the mp4 specs correctly and make it all easier for us?
What about MP4 videos with multiple audio tracks. I'd like to keep english and german audio tracks of my DVDs when converting to appletv. As far as i know appletv doesn't allow a selection of the audio track. Workarround with Quicktime Reference Movie works here es well, saving two Reference Movies with only one audio track enabled, but why not make it easy for us consumers and allow audio track selection on appletv. Will there be an Update?
Hope to get some answers.

modelone,
Thanks for your post. I have been experiencing the same problem of not being able to pass-through export an MP4 file that was encoded with CE-Quicktime profile.
Your post helped me to discover a workaround that will allow you to set the proper width of an MP4 file that is encoded with CE-Quicktime profile. This method does not require Quicktime Pro, and the corrected file plays properly in Quicktime and Apple TV.
First, encode the MP4 file using CE-Quicktime profile. Then, open Dumpster and drag the MP4 file into it. Navigate to 'moov', then 'trak', then 'tkhd', then select 'Matrix [a b u]'. There are 3 hexadecimal values for this key. The first number is the transformation matrix that Quicktime and Apple TV uses to determine the correct display aspect. This is the value that is multiplied to the encoded horizontal resolution to derive the horizontal display resolution. For e.g. if the encoded resolution is 720 x 576 and you want it to play back in 1024 x 576, the matrix value is 1024/720 = 1.4222. Change that first number to this correct hexadecimal fractional value and click 'Apply'.
The patched MP4 file will now play back in correct aspect ratio in Quicktime and Apple TV.
Hope this helps!

Audition CC randomly loses playback and recording functionlity

Any help with this issue would be great. I'm using Adobe Audition CC and after a few minutes the playback and recording functionality lock up. I'm still able to edit and save as nomal, but that's it. When i hit 'play' the icon lights up as if it's playing but the playhead doesn't move.
if I click away and allow the program a few minutes of running in the background, sometimes, functionality returns,

Thanks for the reply. I'm still experiencing the issue, but I think I'm a bit closer to understanding it. The Yeti has built in drivers meant to work with the windows MME drivers, but the Yeti Pro requires it's own drivers to be downloaded from Blue's website. Unfortunately for me, the Yeti Pro comes in two subtly different models. One that works with the Blue mic Yeto drivers (identified by the letters USB printed by the usb output) and one that Yeti prescribes the TUSB 1.22.0 drivers (the version I have that is absent of the lettering). I believe herein lies my issue. The TUSB drivers are rubbish.
I've since turned off windows sounds and experimented with ASIO4All. Still with interupted recordings and playback. I've got a ticket in with Blue and am going to see if they have a program that lets me swap this TUSB version for their version that uses the proper Yeti Drivers. ASIO4All doesn't identify the mic unless the TUSB drivers are installed, so it seems like for now I'm stuck with them.

Premiere Elements 13 (not Pro), recorded a video with mono mic input (left channel only), need to create 2-channel (left and right) audio track for finished product. Help?

The question says it all. I have been all over the tutorials as well as the menus inside Premiere 13 and cannot find how to edit the audio track beyond basic balance, volume, etc.
I can see the Audio 1 track, shows audio in left channel only, but it will not respond to attempts to select, cut/copy, paste, etc.
Basically I just want to turn one-channel audio into two-channel audio.

Sure you do not want to give the Fill Left and Fill Right another try?
According to the Adobe document Adobe Premiere Elements Help | Effects reference
Fill Left, Fill Right
The Fill Left effect duplicates the left channel information of the audio clip and places it in the right channel, discarding the original clip’s right channel information. The Fill Right effect duplicates the right channel information and places it in the left channel, discarding the existing left channel information. For example, you might use this effect on footage shot with a monaural microphone plugged into only one channel of a camcorder, extending the voice of a speaker from one channel to both.
From what you wrote, your Premiere Pro video seems to be saying the same.
If that Premiere Elements Fill Left or Fill Right is no go, you might want to explore what you can do in this regard using the free audio editor Audacity.
Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder
And, then import the Audacity edited audio back into Premiere Elements project as source media.
Is the speaker system OK?
We will be watching for your results.
Thanks for the follow up.

MPEG2 Playback Component and multi-audio track movies

Hello,
I have a MPEG2 movie that has 2 audio tracks.
One is the original voice (french) and the second
track is overd-dubbed (german).
Is there a way to chosse which audio-track should be
played with the movie within QT and MPEG2 component ?
So far QT plays only the original voice !

Since you already have the MPEG-2 Playback Component you may get the desired results using the free MPEG Streamclip app:

Use it to extract the video and your desired audio track and combine them into a new file.

Recording 1 Audio Instrument and 1 Audio Track Sumultaneously in LE

Hi,
I have been reading through the forums and as far as I have seen, there no way to record a Midi Signal going into an Audio Instr (for example a drum machine sending midi to the Rock Kit) and at the same time, record an audio input (guitar?).
In LE you don't have R button to Arm an Audio Intr track, so the track will "record" as long as it's selected and you're recording. On the other hand you have to "arm" audio tracks.
If you Arm an audio track and the click on your Audio Instr, start recording an play. Only the Audio Instr will be recorded, despite the fact that both tracks seem to be receiving signal. If you happen to click on your audio track or use SHIFT-Click to select both, the last "clicked" track will be recorded.
Is this correct? I have been trying to record a these two types of tracks simultaneously for a few hours with no success. I have tried all kind of combinations, clicks and stuff like that, nothing will do it. If I record the audio track, the audio inst is "ignored". Is this a LE limitation?
Could somebody please confirm this?
I have an M-Audio Fast Track pro and it works fine.
Thanks in advance.

All you have to do is Shift-Click the R on each of the audio tracks you wish to record while holding down shift. So select each track you want in one shift pushing. If that makes any sense...

CPU overload during playback and record

This happens here and there but is not a consistent problem, and for that reason I feel that it can be corrected. Out of the blue, during playback or record, all of the sudden my CPU meter will start spiking and the audio will start getting interrupted until it just gives up and I get a dialogue box saying overload. I always make sure all other applications are closed to avoid this. What else can I do?

1. Have an empty Audio Track selected during playback (= no need for Logic to wait for realtime MIDI input)
2. Increase Audio Buffer
3. Turn off "safety" buffer. "safety" is very misunderstandig... In fact, it makes things unsafer in terms of playback stability. (BTW: Did anyone find out which "safety" is meant, anyway?)
4. Turn off Airport, go offline, turn off antivirus and such things. Just let Logic be the only big application running.
5. After some playbacks, the caches should provide enough information so that Logic runs more smooth than with the first playback. So - if you need Logic as live tool, let it play the project once or twice before.

New user: I can't find the zoom option (to try and sync audio tracks/sources wav to a clap)

Hi guys. I LOVE the rendering speed/quality etc of single videos but I'm running into trouble syncing videos/audio from 3 sources. Basically I have a Nikon D7000 and an Iphone taking two angles of me playing guitar. I want to sync all of them to an audio clap or a click but I can't seem to find the zoom option where I can get right in on the wav files to match the peaks of the clap. I am also having trouble with the video clips I am dragging seem to lock magnetically to other clips or wherever my playback marker is. I want the clips to drag/move freely (and tiny increments) and not lock into any time interval etc.
I also would like to find the mute button for some of the tracks. It seems to be really basic stuff, but I can't seem to locate anything obvious to zoom, drag and get my timeline in sync.
It took me a long time to sync my audio to an iphone angle for this clip:
http://youtu.be/4B9TMQg9KXQ?list=UUd_A29XG4JvzkyGNcuXcuiQ
My D7000 is a MUCH better image, but juggling that, my iphone angle and the audio that gets recorded by my DAW is a struggle. Any tips would be appreciated!

Thanks for the reply with details of your Premiere Elements version and computer operating system.
1. Zooming in on clap in wave form of audio - assorted maneuvers
You could always change the audio track size, but that is not going to give you anywhere near the detail that you will get by
alt clicking the audio portion of the Timeline file (to temporarily unlink audio from the video and then double clicking that Timeline
audio file to bring up its waveform in the Preview Window and noting the clap time at playback there.
With the video and audio relink again, as you can hold down the alt key and tap the left or right arrow key, you can move the Timeline linked clip from right to left or left to right
for alignment purposes to the clap time.
When you need only the video portion of the video audio linked file in the Preview Windows, then you omit the alt click on the audio portion.
If needed, you could always set unnumbered markers at the Timeline level or in the Preview Windows.
For Timeline video audio nudges....as you hold down the alt key and tap the right or left arrow key once, you get a one frame nudge per tap.
As you hold down the Shift+Alt and tap the right or left arrow key once, you get a five frames nudge per tap.
On other matters...
2. Please look at right clicking the Timeline and looking a Snap option enabled and disabled.
3. I will think about it some more but I do not see any way to mute the audio for a whole audio track. You can mute the audio for clips on that audio track but not
shut off the audio to that one particular audio track. If you wanted to do audio clip muting for more than 1 clip at a time, I could see
a. copy first file that you muted through Adjust Tab/Adjustments/Volume Panel expanded and
b. then do a Paste Effects and Adjustments for a selection of all of the other audio files on that particular track.
Just some thoughts

Why can't I playback Sonority Recorder audio files?

I have transferred audio files from my Olympus Voice Recorder DM-420 to my iMac and would like to use Sonority application to playback. IMac will not play the audio files. Any ideas as to why? Thanks in advance...

Yes you can merge two audio regions
Simple way:
Create two audio tracks...
Place audio region 1 on 1st Audio track
Place audio region 2 on 2nd Audio track
Press play and adjust levels/pan/fx etc in mixer.....
Select all regions using Shift and Left click on each region
Right / Control Click on one of the regions and from the popup menu choose Bounce & Join > Join or press CMD + J
Now in the next dialog box choose Stereo or Mono mixdown
Mixdown done... Single audio file now found in first track with mixdown of both tracks....
(Rename track.region to taste)
Bear in mind track volume /pan levels etc get mixed down also so again mix to taste before joining
Done!

I can't seem to get GB to recognize my Behringer X1222 USB Mixer. It will record, but shouldn't I be able to see and/or select which input channel(s) that I will record from? Can I record more than one channel at a time, and record multi tracks?

I can't seem to get GarageBand to recognize my Behringer X1222 USB Mixer. It will record, but only on the generic "USB Input, without seeing or letting me select the input channel from the mixer. Can't find any drivers from Behringer. How do I getGB to "see" the mixer? Thanks, I'm a newbie to Macs in genreal, and recording...

the x1222 includes a 2 channel audio interface, 2 channels are all you can get from it.
the most you can do is record to 2 tracks at a time; skim this tute to see how:

Dropped frames during playback and Record To Tape

Mac G-5, OS X 10.4.4; 4 X 2.5 GHz; 4.5 GB DDR2; NVIDIA GeForce 6600 w/256MB.
G-Raid 1TB, Format Mac OS Extended; External FireWire 800 port.
Maxtor 300GB Internal, Format Mac OS Extended (journaled)
Tape deck, Sony Mini DV GV-D1000 NTSC FireWire 400 port used for digitizing and mastering.
Have searched forum for solution to dropped frames. Based on other suggestions, set Final Cut Pro 5 RT button to SafeRT; Playback quality to High; Playback Frame Rate, Full. Compression rate at 75%. Sequence > Render All-Video Needs Rendering;Audio, For Playback Render Only-Mixdown.
System Settings--Scratch Disk Video Capture and Audio Capture set to RAID. Video Render and Audio Render set both to Maxtor or RAID. Either case dropped frames.
User Preference--Real-Time Audio Mixing, 2 tracks (have also tried 4 tracks, which equals # of tracks actually used).
In spite of changing all the above settings, I still get dropped frames. Am I missing yet another setting that will fix the problem?

Any heavy filtering and/or effects?...including audio, since you've specified the same number of audio tracks in your real-time audio prefs that you're working with...
...and yes, please explain 75% compression...
