Protools mbox and external mic in FCE voice over

I'm doing voice over for a project and I want to know if its possible to use my Pro Tools Mbox with a good quality mic and run it into FCE for the voice over. I know FCP is an option when I look in the Pro Tools core audio set up and when I go to my Mac system preferences "sound" the Mbox is there as an option. I select it for input and output but when I go to the FCE voice over - in "source" the Mbox is not an option - only "bulit in audio" and "DV audio". The only option for input is "line in"
Any suggestions on how I set it up so I can use my mbox and a high quality mic in FCE.?
Thanks
Karl

Go to the Voice Over window, (Option+ 0) and click on source, built in...
Should Work!
It doesn't work.
Again, I have a Sony HDR-HC9 camera connected via firewire. I plugged the mic (Sure SM58, xlr to 1/8 inch mini cable) into the external mic input on the camera.
When I select Built-in mic it doesn't recognize (hear) the audio.
I haven't found a camera selection for the external mic. It appears as though when an external mic is connected the built in mic is bypasssed. Do you know this to be true?
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Chas

  • Trying to Live Webcast on YouTube using AME and external mic on apple computer

    Hi. Im an ADOBE forum newbie Ive tried to flick through the forums to find a solution to this but cant. Basically i am trying to webcast on YouTube via my mac but using an external mic.
    I have a macbook AIR. And i recently bought a behringer 302USB mixer to input my audio from the microphone i have to the computer via the USP port.
    When i look in the system preferences/sounds, it recognises the USB mixer and it shows that sound is being input by the volume level indicator moving.
    However, the microphone isnt recognised as an audio input in adobe media encoder (im presuming this is the same as FLME .. i couldnt find a forum for flash live media encoder) ... it seems to automatically use INTERNAL MIC ...
    WHen i decide to try and see if the USB set up works in garage band, it records fine ... same for quickime .. so it seems to pick up sound and record to computer .. what i seem to be struggling to do is direct the sound to the media encoder for it to  record the sound from the USB mic .. as opposed to the internal mic ..
    I tried  a little trick by attempting to redirect via SOUNDFLOWER .. then into AME via soundflower ... it recognised soundflower .. but the audio came out silent ... so it once again didnt seem to recognise (or process the audio live ...
    I need to use an external mic as my internal mic picks up too much noise .. and the external mix is very directed in what sounds it picks up ...
    Does anyone know a fix?? .. this is driving me mad ...
    cheers

    It's not only the files in the Programs folder which are installed by most Windows applications, but also the files in other folders (e.g. Programdata) as well as the Registry settings, which are required to run an application. Installing an application in a folder, coping it and running it from somewhere else was possible in the good old DOS times.

  • Best mic setup for FCE voice overs?

    Hi - I need to add a voice over to some footage. Any recommendations on microphones... Would the standard audio in jack be good enough, or would a Griffin iMic be the best option?
    Cheers for the advice.

    I use the M-Audio Fast Track guitar/mic recording interface. You can hook-up your XLR mic or use it to play your guitar in Garageband.

  • Ipad and external mic

    If I connect an external mic to my ipad to improve the sound when using the video will my new ipad use the mic (connected via jack) or continue to use the default inbuilt microphone? Am considering either a sansom gomic or irig mc cast for use when interviewing people.

  • Audio input is gone. What plug/adapter do I need to plug in a rode mic for fcpx voice overs? Any help will be much appreciated.

    Hi,
    First time user.... Bare with me.
    My old imac had an audio input and I could simply plug in my rode mic and perform voice overs etc.... Now the new imac has no audio input.
    I gather I need an adapter, but am I really stuck buying the iRig Pro at $219? Will this even work for voice overs in FCPX or is there a much cheaper and cheerful option for this problem that apple could have avoided in the first place...
    Any advice will be welcomed and appreciated.

    Thanks Very much A Brody!
    None of the research I did came up with this option. Really appreciate it.

  • I would like to record hypnosis apps to my IPAD.  I assume that I would use an external app for clearer voice over.  I wnat to record my hypnsis script over a background of binaural music.   How do I accomplish this?

    I would like to create my own customized hypnosis apps for my IPAD.  Ideally, I would use a good external mic and have another input for the binaural background music and brainwaves.  What equipment do I need to accomplish this on my IPAD or MACPRO ?  And how do you hook it up?

    I think I will do this.  I will use my apple ID and set face time and message to work independently.  That solves one problrem.  My other problem and maybe my bigger problem is that if I am using my apple ID, how do I iflter all of this so that my kids don't see my contacts, get my apps, etc. ?

  • Time Machine and External Hard Drive wireless backup over airport extreme

    Ok can this be done? I have an external HD that I used a firewire to connect to my macbook pro and it backed up my movies,photo's etc without a problem.
    When I realized I could plug the HD into the back of the extreme I tried that and I can see the shared HD in my finder but I cannot get time machine to backup wirelessly now and I can't see my previous back up in Time machine but I can see it when I look on the HD.
    Can I continue to do my backups over the extreme wirelessly? How do i do this? Or do I have to plug the firewire and mac into the HD each time I want to back up using time machine?
    Thanks,

    I hope that support is added to the airport extreme. I would be disappointed in apple to learn that they have disabled it for the airport extreme and connected hard drive in order to only sell another piece of hardware (time capsule) that is simply the airport extreme with a hard drive built in.
    There are reported work arounds for getting the airport extreme and external hard drive to work with time machine. A couple google search results outlined the process, it didn't look too complicated. I would prefer it was a feature and not a work around though.

  • FCE Voice Over

    I have successfully added several voice-over clips to their respective video clips in the FCE HD (v 3.5.1) time line. Now when I try to record the next voice-over clip, I get the message "The specified capture destination file already exists". How do I get beyond this message so I can continue recording voice-over clips? Thanks, Jack Akerboom

    Change the name in the voice over window before you start recording.

  • External recording indication for voice over recording

    hi,
    i'm wondering if there is any way to get recording indication for voice over recording out of final cut pro or soundtrack pro. i need to get the 'on air' signalization to the speaker room which is not the same as editing room.
    i'm looking for something like

    which i'm used to use with protools. does anybody have any idea?
    thanks for help

    How about a switch you throw to turn on a recording light in the booth? I think less tech here is likely better.

  • Issues recording with internal and external mics -  blip blip noises

    soon as a click record it begins to record my voice but it also makes these audable "blip blip" noises every second which come through the speakers and then recorded in the track. i can record with audacity fine. i have checked the tracks properties and removed any filters but this still happens.. this happened awhile back and since then the machine has been formated so a new install has already occurred.
    very confused

  • Airport Extreme and External Hard Drive. Backup over WAN?

    Hi
    I'm new to Mac's and just got a macbook air and a airport extreme.  I connected my external hard (toshiba) drive to the AE and my computer will recognize it, but when I try to connect to it using Time Machine my external hard drive is not recognized as a device that I can backup to over my WAN.  I'm not sure if this is possible, but I would like to be able to backup over the WAN if it is possible.  Is it possible to backup using time machine over WAN using an AE and a non apple external hard drive?

    Time Machine cannot backup to a hard drive unless it is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled), also known as HFS+.
    You have me scratching my head about backing up through the WAN port. Normally, the WAN port would be used for a connection from a modem.....or another router.
    However, if you have the AirPort Extreme configured to connect to another router via Ethernet, and the AirPort Extreme is set to operate in Bridge Mode, then you don't have a WAN port, they are all LAN ports, so it would not matter which of the ports that you used.

    Hi petes ipod,
    Have you attempted to use different headphones or earbuds with your iPod? Does the same issue occur when you do? If so, your iPod Shuffle may need to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

  • HT4061 iphone is locked and voice over is on

    My iphone is stuck on home screen and will not unlock.  voice over is on too and will not stop talking

    You do not need to put your phone in recovery mode just to turn off VoiceOver. If you have Siri enabled and set to work in the lock screen, tell Siri "Turn off VoiceOver".
    If you don't have Siri enabled, you can still unlock the phone. You need to tap each number twice to get it to register. Then, when you get into the phone, triple-tap on the home screen to turn it off. Or, keep tapping twice on everything. You'll need to go to Settings>Accessibility>Voice Over>Off.
    Best of luck.

  • Voice Over Tool Lockup

    I upgraded to Lion last week and now when I select Voice Over Tool, I get the beachball and the application just freezes. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I have to do a force quit to get out. Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    I did try removing the pref file, but it made no difference. I was already at 4.0.1.
    I bit the bullet, offloaded all my files to an external hard drive and wiped my Mac clean. I then reinstalled Snow Leopard. Everything is working fine.
    Not sure what the hang up with Lion is on FCE. All the video editing works fine. Just causes the entire system to lockup while using Voice Over. Not sure if it's related to FaceTime but sneaking suspicion says maybe.
    Thanks for the help.

  • FCP - Voice Over problem

    I have a FCP system set up which includes an AJA Kona LHe card. Audio inputs are via the AJA. This includes audio from a video deck as well as other audio inputs, such as a studio condenser mic connected for voice overs. I monitor the output from FCP through the AJA card via a Samson C-Control (monitor matrix). Here's my big problem. When I'm recording voice over, whilst there is definitely an audio feed being routed to the headphones (I am able to hear the audio cue countdown), I am unable to monitor the sound from the microphone through the headphones (or speakers for that matter). The microphone is working fine... when it comes to playing back the voice over through the headphones (or speakers), I can hear the track absolutely fine. I cannot understand why this should be. Has anyone experienced the same problem... and do you know how to solve it? HELP!.... Thank you.

    Thanks for responding. Where do I find the checkbox that allows playthrough? What's it called... and which menu is it in? Thanks
