Problem recording 5 audio tracks in one go

HI
I have audio tracks 1 - 5 on logic assigned to tracks 1 - 5 on my mackie mixer. Though when i go to click all the record buttons so i can record 5 audio tracks (live drums) in one go it wont let me. For example The record button only lights up red on one track, ie audio track one. When i click the audio track 2 record button that lights up the track one red light goes out.
Has any one got any advice, i cant record all my tracks in one go,
Thanks

Your inputs need to be 1 - 5... on your channel strip,right under the i/o there is a little gray box that displays,the input, if all the channels have the same inputs,then only one track will rec enable at a time.select your inputs according track 1 should be input 1 track two should be input 2 ect.

Beginner question: Two audio tracks become one - how to undo?

I know this surely is a beginners' problem, i hope for a quick reply anyway. I've imported material I had before logged with AVID Liquid, into Premiere CS4. In order to get video and audio together I had to put video and audio in a new sequence by hand. I then loaded this seqeunce into the source monitor to be able to cut my material (one video track, two audio tracks (one from a directional mic, which I don't always want)) from there. But when I paste a clip in my editing sequence I only get video plus ONE audio track in the stereo track. But I need both audio tracks because sometimes I'm going to delete one of them. So my question: How do I get video and BOTH audio tracks from one sequence to the other?
Thank you very much, you've had much patience with me with similiar questions.
Niklas

To do what you want, you won't be able to work with the media as a single clip. You'd have to go into the sequence with the video and two audio tracks, and pick out what you want from there instead of the Source monitor. Make your cuts, laso the clips you're using, then do a Cut/Paste from the main sequence into the edit sequence. Make sense?

Problem recording audio from sampler...

Problem recording audio from sampler (MPC 1000) to Logic using midi trigger thru Lexicon Omega box.
When I hit the record button in Logic, it triggers my mpc to start playing. Logic then picks up the incoming audio signal on the appropriate track and starts recording the audio... PROBLEM- Logic appears to keep restarting the incoming audio, repeating the first 1/4 of the first 1Bar. So every time I hear the metronome tempo counter as it records, the incoming audio replays from the beginning and this is what gets recorded. On the contrary when I'm controlling the sampler via midi and just hit the play button in Logic, the audio signal comes threw and plays the full 4 bars of the audio that I want recorded.
Any idea on how I can fix this? It seems like it has to do with my metronome counter or midi time code?
Thanks to all that help!

Thanks, good suggestion but these are music instruction dvds that aren't copyrighted.

Two Audio tracks in one slide?

I've looked everywhere for what ought to be a simple answer
to a simple question, but can't find one...
Is there any way to have more than one audio recording in a
single slide in Captivate 2.0? Let's say I want to have a soft
music track playing in the background, plus an audio clip from a
narrator going at the same time. Or I've got the same audio track
that I'm going to use over and over again ("Click the NEXT
button"), and I just want to have it play at the conclusion of
another narrated track. Surely there's got to be a way to do
something this obvious, and yet I've scoured the instructions and
the internet, and can't find anything. When I attempt to drag a
second recording into a slide, it replaces the existing recording
with the new one. The assumption seems to be that nobody would ever
want more than one audio track on a single slide, either
concurrently or sequentially. Am I just missing something
obvious?

spjarrell, sorry to see you are unhappy but it looks to me
like it is just a case of frustration with your own level of
expertise. Osmosis is hardly ever the best way to handle the
learning curve for new software. You have to actually put forth an
effort, do some study, and - probably most important, don't be
afraid to ask questions right here.
Did you notice that Adobe Community Expert Rick gave Wilma a
full and complete solution to her problem? What made you think this
program would be similar in any way to something you owned seven
years ago? Did someone tell you this is "Just like Flash was back
in 2000?". If so, you need to change your vendors because this one
is lying to you.
I'll help with your only question, to wit ...
quote:
I have been trying to figure how to start an audio clip when I
click on a button. However, any time I add audio to anything on the
slide, it automatically starts when the slide starts.
Any audio you add will begin playing when that object first
appears on the time-line or is activated by an action. If you
want audio to play when a button is clicked, place the audio on the
slide or object that will immediately follow the button-click
action.
For instance, you can put the audio on the following slide,
and set the button's properties for a "successful" click-action to
"Go To Next Slide".
Or perhaps you would rather attach the audio to an invisible
highlight box (create the highlight with "0" for a border, and
"100%" for Fill Transparency) ... then position the highlight box
on the time-line so it appears immediately after the button (which
is pausing the slide?), then set the button properties on
"successful" click to "Continue".
When the button is clicked, the slide will "continue" down
the time-line for that same slide, and will immediately come to the
invisible highlight box which in turn will immediately begin
playing the audio. There are any number of ways to accomplish what
you want - these are a few that come immediately to mind, and
hopefully will be of some help to you.

SOUNDS LIKE a "PHASER" is ON WHEN RECORDING AUDIO TRACKS!!!

I've got logic pro 7 and am running on a mac book pro.
I opened a new blank project with one audio track.
I recorded guitar out of an amp on this track (using the macs internal mic,) with NO effects turned on. None on the amp and none in logic.
When I listen to the recording back it sounds like a phaser is turned on.
But when I play live and listen to it out of the amp it sounds fine.
Does anyone know what this could possibly be??
It is driving me crazy. Thanks.

Sounds to me like he may be hearing the internal Mic feeding back.
At first I was thinking the same thing, but if the internal mic was picking up feedback he would also be hearing that feedback, as he recorded. My impression is that it sounded OK to him while he recorded. Then again, maybe the amp is so loud he can only hear the amp, beacuse it's so much louder than the feedback. But if the amp is overwhelming the feedback from the perspective of his ears, then it's also probably overwhelming the feedback from the perspective of the mic. In other words, a hot level into the mic from the amp is probably a bigger problem than the mic picking up feedback.
I suppose both things could be happening.
Does it sound like an older late 1960's phaser with a diverse overtone series or a late 1980's phaser with the more focused sine wave generated audio signature?
Sometimes cool effects are discovered by accident. Someday someone will build a plugin designed to simulate the effect of putting your Mac's internal mic one inch from a huge stack cranked to eleven.

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

Problems capturing audio track

I am having a problem capturing from my DV camera into Final Cut Pro (version 5.1.4) on a souped up G4. I made a few changes to the hardware configuration recently, but the problem started prior to these upgrades so I don't think it is related. I installed an ATA drive and replaced a defective USB2/FW800 Sonnet card.
I thought I had a problem with the playback head on the camera when the capture issues first started. I got black horizontal bars on the screen of the camera as well as on the screen when I attempted to capture footage. I also got timecode error messages. I was able to capture some of the tape in FCP using a different camera, but upon examination I noticed both audio tracks are missing small segments of data. There are a few blank spots scattered throughout the footage. The picture is fine. The problem is in the audio tracks only. both tracks in the same area.
One of the camera repair people I talked to said the tape could be bad. Does this make sense if only the audio track is missing segments and the picture track is complete?
Thanks, I appreciate any help you can give me in figuring this out.

Thanks for your suggestions and opinion. I am reading everyone's comments. In order to get the most from this discussion, please answer each of these questions separately so the people who are following it will have no trouble following the answers that apply to each.
I distinctly remember when I was shooting the footage of the problem tape, the picture looked fine. It was not until I tried to review the tape that the problem appeared.
1. Is it possible that the camera works for shooting but the camera playback head is causing problems?
2. Can a bad playback head damage the tape on playback?
2. Can shooting onto a bad tape damage a camera?
3. Is it possible to shoot with a camera with a bad playback and then use another drive for playback?
Thanks for your help. I do know a few people who are having playback problems, since all the tape cameras are getting old, so we appreciate this discussion.

Can´t record audio track

hi,
I´m trying to record an audio track on logic express.
the problem is: I have no record button on the side of the audio tracks.
I set the the core audio driver as in/output on audio preferences. still do´nt work.
I can import wav´s and I can hear them but I can´t record.
Do I need an external USB Interface or is a driver missing? What might be wrong in my setup.
please help!!! It drives me nuts.

In the arrange window, there's a VIEW menu. Click on it and you can select which buttons, etc. you want to see.

Using logic: recording audio tracks

Im fairly amateur at Logic. How do you guys setup your song (arrange window etc..) when you want to record your external hardware synths? Do you always record just the midi? What about when you want to record the actual audio?
I am trying to see if theres a cleaner more "logical" way of recording my songs. I know logic has a million ways of doing any one thing. I have read a few books on Logic, but almost every time the writer's studio is all virtual and hardly lends any good advice to a person who has many external synths they would like to record!
I have 8 analog inputs on my audio interface and I actually have 4 synths (I sequentially put them in 1,2,3,4(L/R..L/R.. and so on.) I can setup the plugins and internal synths like a pro. Im much less confident when introducing logic to my external hardware lol I wonder if most of us record one track at a time? I'm curious to how other musicians approach getting their hardware and logic structured for recording. I often find I am frustrated that I KNOW this isn't the right setup becuase I lose concentration on the most important thing - music. Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks

I have 3 outboard midi synths that I use. I found 2 good ways to monitor within logic
First way:
I have set up 3 stereo input objects in my environment, which represent 6 of the inputs on my 828. I have my synths audio outs connected to those inputs and routed through the input object to my main outs
I record the midi on midi tracks, Audio on audio tracks and VI’s on instrument tracks and mix everything together in logic. when it’s time for a final mix. I have to bounce in real time, you can’t bounce the inputs off line. but it works great. If I have a mdi part that I want to tweak more, I either record the part to audio for processing or I use my second method
second way:
I do it this way when I want to add more processing to a sound on an outboard synth. I take an audio instrument track and instead of the input being the ESX24 or other VI, you assign it’s input to “Eternal” which is like an input object. after you select the External plug, a box comes up where you select your synth, midi channel and output channel.
Then you record midi just like a midi track. But since you are now using an audio instrument track, all of Logic’s plug ins, like compressors and reverbs, and so on, are all available for your outboard synth just as they would be for a VI. Same rule applies for mix down, you have to mix down in real time.
Hope this give you some ideas

Problem recording audio in iMovie

I am currently having problems recording a voice over in iMovie. I have checked the The system settings and it is recognizing my usb microphone as the source for input. I can also record audio within another project, just not in the one I want to. This makes me think something has been changed within the project settings. Any suggestions?

If the QT movies"that iMovie generates" are fine, then your DVDs that iMovie makes may be fine since iDVD uses QT movies. I would try one, SHare to MEdia Browser at the highest resolution (this can take hours) then open iDVD and migrate to that movie, drag it into iDVD window and burn and see.

2 Audio tracks on one video?

Hello,
I have two videos that are the close to the same...and are pretty close in length.
One of the AUDIOS i want to use for practice and the other for the Actual process.
So what i would like to do is set it up so either video can have BOTH audios.
People will be watching them many times so to keep them from getting board
with having one audio for one video. I want them to be able to change the audio.
So when watching one of the videos for a week with the practice audio
the can then watch the video next week with the Actual process
and visa versa for the other video.
I know there is a way to add subtitles or a different language to a video.
But these will be only 2 videos of 7 total in the DVD.
Is there a way to do this? if so could someone please explain or direct me to a video or tutorial
on how i might do this?
Thanks so Much!
Soshman

Here's one way:
The 5 videos with one audio will just be regular timelines. Lets call the two other videos with the 2 audios V1 and V2. And the two audios A1 and A2.
So you want one timeline with V1, and in Audio track 1 you will have A1, and in Audio track 2 you will haveA2. In another timeline with V2, you will have in Audio track 1 A2, and in Audio track 2 you will have A1.
You will have a menu that will select the audio track. See help:

QuickTime doesn't allow to choose each audio track of one language

1) Before you tell me that I'm asking question in wrong community section, I can't enter to QuickTime section with new Safari 8.0 and it says that I have to download Safari.
2) I have some videos in .mp4 format and it contains few English audio tracks, few other language audio tracks and when I chose one of multiple languages Quicktime always chose the very same track from this language. And QuickTime marks all audio tracks of this language with checkmarks. So there is no effect when you try to switch to another language
3) By the way. iTunes playback has no error with this, but it's still in old Mavericks style. Thank you.

Many of my QuickTime files use Flash tracks for things like controllers and the only way they can be properly viewed is if "Enable Flash" is checked.
It's a completely different animal inside the MIME Settings options.
If you allow Flash in the Miscellaneous setting then the QuickTime plug-in is going to try and open the content and the Flash plug-in isn't used. Since QuickTime can only open very old Flash media the browser gives a ? over the file.
Turning it off allows the Flash plug-in be used.

Problem recording Audio since 10.5.7 update

Hi,
I have a MBP Late 2008 and a Mackie Spike XD-2 sound card (used with USB), Garageband 4.1.2 and Logic pro 8.0.2
However since the update, every time I record audio with the Mackie, all audio guitar and vocals is distorted, crackly and almost electronic sounding.
I have tried it through Garage band and Logic pro 8.0.2. and both have the same effect.
I was able to record fine on 10.5.6 and I know that there is nothing wrong with the sound card as it works on another macbook running a lower OS prior to 10.5.7.
I haven't got time machine running. I do have an external HD for my PC but when I connected it to my mac it said that I would have to re-format it which I am unable to do due to the large amount of windows documents on it.
I am really unsure whet to do. Can you roll back to 10.5.6 by re-installing it? or if I re-install my original OS and update to 10.5.6 will it remove all of my data and programs.
Please help, I'l tearing my hair out here and really need to get my recording done.
Thanks

Of course not, but some old printers and other hardware will eventually not be supported.
According to Apple, Snow Leopard will only run on Intel machines.
"Mac computer with an Intel processor - 1GB of memory"
No jus joking but really they must have some liability for ensuring the compatibility of 3rd party devices that were compatible in previous versions of Mac os x.
They cannot insure that each and every piece of hardware in the world is supported by every update. It's up to the user to properly vet the updates. The best way is to clone the OS and update the clone and see what works and what does not work.
I mean mackie doesn't write the software?
They don't? Somebody does. Maybe that's the problem.

Why are multiple audio tracks causing one of the track levels to increase automatically when the other doesn't have an audio file in it?

So I'm editing an interview and during subtitle sequences in the interview where there is no audio in the interview audio track, the levels automatically rise in the background music track. Here's an illustration of my problem...
http://i58.tinypic.com/2rh3atf.jpg
I also troubleshooted by clicking the Solo button on the background music track and the music plays at the elevated level the whole way through when it's set to be the only track to play. So for some reason, the interview audio track (when it's playing sound) is causing the background music track to decrease in level. I get the same thing on exports. Why is Premiere messing with my levels automatically? No phone or chat support so I'm left asking the forums, thanks for the great customer service Adobe.

Hi Richard,
Appreciate you taking the time to help out. There are absolutely no effects whatsoever on the audio or video tracks.

Problem dragging audio track

I am using iMovie HD 5.0.2 to sync some audio with a video. I only need to line up the audio and then export to AIFF so I can covert the AIFF to AC3 and mux it with an m2v file. My problem is that I was able to clip the unneeded beginning of the audio and drag the audio clip forward to match up with the video but iMovie is not letting me move the audio forward again. I am a touch off (the audio starts at .08 seconds into the video and I need it to start at .07 seconds). iMovie is not letting me move the audio to the left up to that .07 second mark (or even before that mark had I wanted it there) nor is it letting me move the audio back. Additionally, it seems to take a lot of work just to highlight the track again so I can try to move it.
Here is an screenshot in case that is helpful: http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/7397/picture2kb.png
Can anyone recommend how to solve this problem?

Hi Danielmak,
I haven't used iMovie HD (nor HD 6) for a while, so working from memory here!
Drag the audio track to the Desktop. This creates an .aiff audio file which can be opened in QuickTime Player or iTunes or other audio program. Import the aiff track into iTunes. Now place the iMovie playhead at the exact point where you wish the audio track to start. Finally, highlight the track in the Audio section of the Media window and click on "Place at Playhead".
If this works successfully, you will need to delete the original audio track, which will be still in place. Dragging it to the Desktop doesn't move it, but simply copies it.
These instructions apply to iMovie HD 6 but something similar should also work for iMovie HD (version 5.0.2) - just can't recall the exact layout.
If iMovie doesn't like the .aiff file, you may need to convert it to mp3 (easily done in iTunes).
Hope this works for you!
