Recording audio and software tracks simultaneously ?

recording audio and software tracks simultaneously ?
I am recording a software piano instrument track and a vocal audio track in logic Pro X. Problem#1
When the replace"X" button is selected,
when recording audio and a software track simultaneously,
I can hear the previously recorded instrument track that I am recording over.
(very distracting)
When recording a software instrument track alone (without simultaneously recording an audio track)
The software/midi instrument track will record over and erase existing data and I will not hear the previously recorded track. (as it is suppose to do) Problem #2
Both tracks are armed ready to record.
If the software instrument track is not highlighted, it will not record.
The audio track will record regardless of whether it is highlighted or not. Craig C.

Click record on the MIDI/Inst track.
Shift click record on the audio track.

  • My Audio And Software Tracks are quiter when Record Enabled with Plugins on

    When my tracks are armed to record the volume seems much quieter...Then after I record the take and playback its full volume;;; I think its a preference I accidently set??...Example..
    If I have a piano software plug on, its quiter during recording then playback..But even during playback, if that track is highlighted on Arrange its quite,,,I have to un highlight the track...Even when recording audio if Im perhaps using channel strip settings??...Ideas>>>????? Anyone??/

  • Recording Audio and Software Instruments at the same time

    Is there anyway to record a live audio track while recording the drum track with the ES-Blah blah blah? i can never remember the number.
    Im sure that you have seen this question before, but at least you will get a few good points for answering the question again.

  • Recording Audio and Audio Instrument Tracks Simultaneously?

    Hi all,
    sometimes i'll leave an audio track armed (which my synth is hooked up to), while playing keys on an audio instrument track, and it usually creates some incredible textures. Every time I try to record the two at the same time, it never works. Is it in any way possible to record audio and virtual instrument tracks at the same time? Would it matter that I have the same synth hooked up as both (I use audio tracks for the synth, and MIDI for the virtual instruments)? Many thanks!

    Thanks for the responses! I'm actually able to arm both an audio and a virtual instrument track at the same time, and I hear both playing over each other. But as soon as I begin recording, I notice that only the virtual instrument track is recording what i'm playing. Any way around this?

  • Recording software tracks simultaneously in 10.3 is not working for me

    How do I record software tracks simultaneously on 10.0.3? When I press the record button on each software instrument track and press record on the main, it only records the highlighted track even though I hear both instruments.

    A few dozen have looked so I may not be alone. Yet no one has offered a suggestion? I am still at 10.2.2.214 and iPhone on iOS 4.2.1. iTunes takes very long time to open 3+ minutes and does not respond when  device connected then fails to see any device connnected. Will Apple address or fail to fiind this issue? two years ago a few months passed and few upgrades then iPhone was recognized. All worked fine until last month with10.2 update. What are my options here? Please I have gone through ideas presented here for amonth, get one or two to work for a day and then fail after that. I would like to get stable operation of iTnes and then I'll leave things alone. I really do find the 3GS a good buy right now but, with no iTunes why buy it?

  • Record a selected Video, Audio and Subtitle track in low res for proof.

    I am moving my DVD Authoring from Spruce Maestro to DVD Studio Pro.
    The DVDs I create have 25 languages on them that need to be proofed by 25 different people all over the world. In the Spruce system I could just manually record the output with whatever video, audio and subtitle track that needed to be proofed in a WMV file format and then email the proof version before final burn.
    Now in DVD Studio Pro and can not seem to get an analog output to do a manual record. I have purchased an additional video card for my Mac Pro that has S-Video and that does not work. I have the DVI to S-Video converter cable but I can not select that output when it is active. I have tried the export function but that only changes the m2v file into a mpg file, so that does not work.
    Do you have any other suggestions - this is very important for my operation.
    Thank you, Ron Cole 209-604-5415

    very interesting. I do a lot with translation, though my maximum has been 16 languages on a single disc.
    There are a couple things you could do.
    1) One is just to do a screen capture using something like Screenflow to capture and process the single streams you want to output.
    2) I think the first approach is a little arduous. Better would be to use the power of Final Cut even before you get to DVD SP. Unfortunately I don't know your entire workflow. But subtitles can now be done in Final Cut and then carry forward into DVD SP. I'd lay out my edit and soundtrack and subtitles in FCP, and then export a file of my choice and size and have it automatically uploaded. This could be done right out of FCP or by creating a batch in Compressor. Changes, as they came back, would be applied in FCP. Once you had final approval (golden words), I'd move into Compressor to create M2v and ac3 files.
    My projects are done with similar workflows. I then have to ship off translated graphics for the DVD menus. That can be dealt with at the end in a finalized disc or preferably sending off stills for an early approval.
    Make sense?

  • I'm trying to record audio and video simultaneously using iMovie and an external mic and the computer is picking up the audio but when I replay the video there is no sound. Any ideas?

    Can't get iMovie to record audio and video at the same time using the built in cam and an external mic.

    iMovie works best with uncompressed audio. If your track is MP3 or AAC, you may get better results by converting your track to the AIFF format and then using that in iMovie.
    You can do this in iTunes. Go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General button. On the General page, click the Import Settings button. Choose IMPORT USING: AIFF ENCODER.
    (note: remember what you changed it from so you can change it back later, before you import another CD)
    Now, in iTunes, select your track. Then click FILE/CREATE NEW VERSION/AIFF VERSION.

I am running my guitar thrugh a Roland GR 33, and a line out and using the GR 33 to trigger sounds in the Logic's synth section but cant seem to record all three tracks at once.

So I guss the question is how do I sent up two audo tracks and one midi track to record in real time. Thanks Victor

    Try arming the audio tracks, select one of the tracks, then while holding down the shift key, select the midi track you want to record, arming the "r" on the midi track. Press "record".....

  • How do I bounce audio and midi tracks at the same time to burn a CD?

    Hi there,
    I would like to bounce a song with both audio and midi tracks recorded in it onto a CD.
    Despite ensuring that I am doing a realtime bounce (not offline) I am only getting the audio tracks burnt onto the CD - the midi isn't getting bounced to the final output.
    This must be a stupid question, if someone would be so kind as to give me an obvious answer I would be most grateful.
    Thankin y'all
    amata

    Hi A,
    if you use the instrument (with logic virtual synths) tracks for midi,
    it will.
    BTW, why don't you do it offline?
    It will be so much faster.
    Kindly regards,
    Jorge

  • Help with audio and sound tracks

    I have a .mov file with audio. I added a sound file I downloaded and it plays fine with QT and I hear both tracks, the recorded audio and music in the background. But when I post to Youtube the added sound doesn't play. How can I combine both tracks into one? I've tried exporting but can't seem to get the added track to play.
    Using QT Pro 7.6.4 and Leopard.

    http://www.discoverynet.com/~ajsnead/alpcond/alpha_18/midi/rocky.mid
    It's a MIDI file:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MusicalInstrument_DigitalInterface
    In order to use it at YouTube you would required to convert it prior to adding it in your source file to a real "audio" format.
    This is why it didn't play after the export and wasn't converted by YouTube.

  • Recording audio and midi at the same time ??

    Is it possible to record audio and midi at the same time in logic?? It doesnt seem to work for me, im assuming there must be unchecked box somewhere that I need to check. thanks,
    Dan

    Daniel,
    You should be able to accomplish this by hitting record on the audio track, and then while holding the "Shift" key down, hitting record on the MIDI track (or visa versa).

  • What is the preferred virus scan program for iphone? I believe that I have a virus. My phone will come on by itself and it appears to be recording audio. I have read about spyware/surveilance viruses that will record audio and take photos.

    My phone is not jailbroken.  I don't know what you mean about hacked.   Maybe it is hacked?   This is what is happening: About three times over the past few months I've noticed that my phone while "off" will come on (light up) and the screen shows an arrow towards the bottom; an arrow such that you would see on various "players" in order to "play" video or audio, I've searched my phone and cannot find any app that produces this particular screen though. Once I pick up the phone when this screen myseriously appears out of nowhere and press anything, it goes away and goes to the standard "slider" front page to unlock the phone.

  • Logic Pro when recording audio and midi takes, the regions sometimes become confused. The midi tracks line up with audio tracks.

    When recording midi and audio tracks simutaneously the midi tracks don't always line up with the software instrument channel. They may show up on the audio track. Sometimes they appear white instead of the normal green. Any suggestions?

    Hey there jlholm,
    It sounds like you are seeing some unexpected behavior when you are working on your project. I would use troubleshooting steps 6-10 from the following article named:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Record Audio and Video Simultaneously.

    Hey,
    So I have Quicktime pro and I know how to record a video using my built in camera on the imac.
    I also have logic and am more than capable of recording through various input devices such as mics, keyboards and guitars.
    But how can I record a video of myself and audio input, such as a mic/me talking/whatever at the same time?
    I'm using a digidesign Mbox 2 for my audio input.
    Thanks

    What happens when you set your inputs properly and record a clip in, say, PhotoBooth? Do you get audio and video? It should be pretty much as straightforward as that.

  • How do I use my web cam to record audio and video? I can get the video to work but no sound.

    I want to record both audio and video at the same time. The video works fine but not the audio. I do use Skype without any problems using both.

    PwmBoat,
    This made me smile, because things like this do make me smile...  I never make videos on YouCam, but I did this time, so I could test this one out.
    You did not say what webcam software you are using...
    ======================================================================
     Video and audio recording works on YouCam V3.5.1.4606
    Make sure you have turned on a working microphone in Settings:
    YouCam > Right-Side   Settings >
    Right-Side, Lower-Right, Select a working Microphone from the Drop down list
    AND
    CHECK "Capture with audio"
    OK
    You can also buy (for $38 US) YouCam 5.0 from the Cyberlink.com website and it has audio/video and all sorts of other goodies, too.  (They have 3.x as well, but why buy what HP already gives you?)
