Recording audio playback

whenever i turn on the phantom switch on my TASCAM interface to record audio, distortion (feedback) from my speakers is heard in the playback. please help me ! arghhhhhh

Not much info. How have you hooked things up, how have you configured Audio MIDI Setup/Sound control panel/Logic, what cables go in where, how does the builtin audio of the Mac sound/ are all you cables allright, are all the levels allright, have you plugged things in the right holes, have you set any switches right, it could be anything. Argh.

Recording Audio Playback offset/delayed

As a loyal Logic member since version 7, I recently started having a problem when playing back audio tracks. The audio seems to playback behind the beat. Is there a recording playback offset or delay option perhaps I accidently switch on or altered?
Please help.
Terrytagg

Are these recently recorded audio tracks?
If so.. look at: Preferences/Audio See the "Record Delay" adjustment? It should be set to zero.
PlugIn Delay Compensation should be set to: Audio and Sortware Instrument Tracks.
Low Latency Mode disabled.

Record audio playback while recording

I would like to record audio (from a radio) and be able to play it back while it is recording or at a later time. I can do this with DVD-RAM DVD recorder but would like to do it in a simpler manner.

LineIn might do, or Soundflower.

Record audio Left channel mono playback

I'm new to Captivate and setting up a microphone for recording audio. Recording equipment is a single microphone into an E-Mu 0404 USB interface. The interface has 2 mic inputs. The mic is plugged into the left channel. Sound is recorded fine, but only plays back on the left channel. How can I get the single channel treated as mono so playback is on both ears?
Thanks

Hi there
Assuming you can do so, perhaps consider a Y connector that makes the mic feed into both channels.
Also, report this to Adobe as I've seen many posts here regarding stereo and only hearing one channel.

Recording with audio playback slowed down 65% what speed do I need to speed the video back up to to get it into real time?

Ive recorded a test video with audio/music playback slowed down 65% what speed do I need to speed the video back up to to get it into "real" time?
If I'd slowed the audio playback down 50% I would make the video 100% faster.
If I'd slowed the audio playback down 100% I would make the video 200% faster.
So its obviously somewhere inbetween speeding up by 100-200%
Sorry but its melting my brain today and I cant remember the calculation.
thanks

hey all
Thanks for the advise on this. I will explain a little more what am have/am intending to do.
I have used Audacity to slow the song down (Effect>Change Tempo)
Audacity will allow me slow the original song down by up to 99% (Or anything in-between up to 3 decimal places)
Unfortunately I am working to a time restraint of 12 minutes per clip (as my DSLR will only allow up to a 12 minute clip).
The song at normal speed is 4 minutes long.
Originally I slowed the audio down by 50% (Making the audio 8 minutes long), lip synced to it using a rasta blaster and recorded the video using my DSLR at 720p 50fps.
I then imported the video and audio I had been lip syncing to into FCPX.
I sped up the video by x2 (equivalent to speeding it up 200%)
Retime>Fast 2X
Layered the PROPER normal speed audio back over the top and all was fine.
Test video complete.
(You can ignore the 65% slowed down audio I mentioned earlier if you like, that was just an example of a slower than 50% audio test)
Firstly what I really want to do is to be able to slow the AUDIO down as much as possible (But still within the restraints of only being able to adjust FCPX retiming within a whole 1 percentage in the final video edit), but have the AUDIO of the song as near to/under 12 minutes as possible.
I will then re-record the video again to this new slowed down audio.
Secondly I will speed up the video from 12 minutes to 4 minutes.
Thirdly I will layer the correct 100% Normal AUDIO on top.
The FINISHED video should then look like everyone is wizzing around at high speed but the guitar playing/lyrics look like they are being played/sung at the normal speed.
Whatever happens (due to the constraints of FCPX) I need the calculations to work so that FCPX is retimed exactly to a whole 1% for the final video to sync up correctly.
So what I need to know in a nut shell is:-
What calculation do I use to work out the percentage to slow a 4 minute song down to a 12 minute song?
What calculation do I use to work out the percentage of how much I need to then speed the 12 minute video up to turn it back into a 4 minute video?
My mind is melting

Recording Audio for Playback

Hello,
I work with a university making language learning CDs in
Flash CS3 which are often used in locations where there is no
internet access.
I have the impression from my readings that audio can only be
recorded for playback using the FMS and not locally. Is this
accurate? We would like to allow students with no internet access
to play back recordings they have just made of their attempts to
say their new words.
Any advice?
Thanks for reading!
David Martin

Yes, the audio is never stored even temporarily stored on the
users machine. It is streamed in real-time up to the server and
stored as .flv files which can later be played back from the
server. There is a company I know of which offers this server
recording as a service. It's called www.userplane.com The company I
work for has our own FMS servers and let users record to the server
but this is a lot more work then just using a company to provide
you with this service. So you can go either way. But there is audio
stored on the users machine.

Recorded audio through iSight is fuzzy on playback

Not my own iMac, but that of a friend. When she records a video with the iSight the audio playback has become a bit "fuzzy". It doesn't sound too bad, but sometimes it's hard to understand some of her words. Previous videos created have very clear audio.
What can I do to help her?

Hello littlezilla.
Diablorist offers a good suggestion to check System Preferences > Sound (both "Input" and "Output") settings. If you friend uses external speakers, also check whether those settings might need adjustment.
Built-in iSight has no mic. Those iMacs use the mic built into the iMac.
Your friend should verify that playing ONLY those things that she records NOW sounds bad. For instance, does a commercial audio CD also sound bad? Does one of those old recording that sounded good in the past still sound good? If all audio now coming out of your friend's iMac is "fuzzy", your friend's speakers (not the mic) may be damaged or your friend's sound card may be failing.
If your friend's old recording still sound good when played back, there is nothing wrong with your friend's system's sound output components.
Your friend should next try recording sound with a different application. If playback of a file recorded with a different app sounds good, the software for the app she initially used may be damaged. Try reinstalling that application.
If playback of files recorded with any app that uses the iMac's built-in mic also sounds "fuzzy", the mic or audio processing components may be damaged. You can test that by using a different mic. If your friend does not have access to another mic, try playing back something recorded with a camcorder or digital camera. You may even want to buy an external mic like the Logitech USB Desktop Microphone for this test. If your friend's problem really IS the mic, using the desktop Mic will likely be cheaper than repairing your friend's iMac unless it is still covered by warranty.
If you cannot fix the problem with software or an add-on mic, your friend should contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for professional service.

Fast audio playback after recording overlay in CS4- How can I slow it down play at regular speed?

I have a video that I am trying to record audio narration over and everytime I record the audio (as I have done many times in the past) it goes on the time as a shorter clip that plays back at a faster speed causing me to sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks. What am I doing wrong and how do I get it to play and record in real time speed? The video speed is uneffected and plays normally?
Thanks!

Great- I think that would fix the issue but how do I set my recording to
32,000- it's recording at 48,000 now?

Recording audio from device on server

I have some really nice audio recording gear hooked up to my computer, and I got a neat idea. I want to turn my PC into a web server and serve a flash application from it that allows a user to record audio from MY hardware (basically record the output of a mic hooked up to the "server") and then download the resulting audio file to his or her computer. Is this possible to do using a single flash application? I'm sure I could send commands to a C application on the "server" that would do the recording, but I'm wondering if there is a more simple solution. Also, monitoring the audio while it is being recorded would be nice.
Thanks

The issue I see with iTalk and similar iPod apps is that the iPod has no line-level input, so you'd have to use one of the earbud/microphone combinations or an external microphone like this one which will be limited as to quality. There are some other options here. But if you want pro quality, and particularly want to tap straight off of a mixing console, a device like the Alesis is going to be necessary, though there may be something less expensive that I can't find.
If a microphone works for you, then iTalk might be fine. There's a freeware version of iTalk, iTalk Lite, you can try, to see if it will do the job. It doesn't have the advanced playback controls and has a limit of 2MB per recording, but it should allow you to test it out. Voxie is another possibility.

Recording audio from a digital source on sound blaster M

This is my setup: DVD player > optical cable > optical-in on Sound Blaster MP3+
I'm trying to record the STEREO (not 5. or DTS) audio off a DVD I have, but it won't record or playback anything on either the SPDIF input or Wave/MIDI/CD input when selected. Everything else works fine (analog, line-in, etc.). Another thing I noticed is that all of the inputs seem to be connected to my built-in regular laptop microphone. When I press record in any .wav recording program, I can hear my voice/other background noise.

Recording Audio From A Sound Board

I was originally planning on buying a Samson Zoom H2, H4N, or ProTrack Stereo Recorder to begin recording audio at concerts I attend using the house sound board, but began wondering if the iPod Touch had the same capability, perhaps by adding an app of some kind. It would also be useful to record audio from weddings I videotape. I know there are voice recorders such as the Belkin that you can attach, but I was thinking more of connecting the iPod directly, by using a 1/4" to mini cable adapter. Is this possible? If so, what app would enable me to do this?

Recording audio into logic?

hello,how can you record audio straight into logic express 7,i have an audio interface,just dont know how to control logic to do this.i know how to record it onto my hard drive,but just thought you might be able to record it into logic ,like you would recording midi, into a track etc..thats if you can do it at all ?
hope this makes sense.
thanx

When you record the track segment you are creating is saved on your hard drive. It is not data that is saved as part the song file itself. It is more like a link. Each segment is separate so you are going to create a new one each time you record a part of your song. Logic wants to place them into a common folder.
Logic needs to have a path to those files so it can access them for playback. It is best to have them in the song file folder rather than somewhere else on your hard drive. When you follow through with setting the audio path Logic will create the necessary folders for the different types of files it will need to access.
When you create a new song file it does not have that audio path. So, you either set up the link/path after you create a new song file, or when you try to record your first track segment, Logic will ask you to set that path before recording.
Hope that helps.

Audio playback delayed thru Firewire monitor - JVC BR-DV3000

First I apologize for the length of this post, but I want to make sure I've adequately described the problem. For years, I've edited with FCP using a JVC HR-DVS2U (DV/SVHS combo deck) with great results. I use it to capture and output through firewire, also connected is a monitor and a UVW-1600 Beta machine.
Now a buddy of mine also has a system using a JVC BR-DV3000. When I attempted to set his system up similar to mine, using the DV deck as the conduit for monitoring and recording to beta, he complained about audio dropping out at the beginning of transitions in the timeline. This was the weirdest thing! How does the DV machine know that a transition is taking place?! I thought it was just data out. I finally traded out machines with him and hooked it up to my system. At first, I didn't have any problems. I mainly edit 30-second commercials, so I played back a timeline with three dozen transitions in it without a hitch! So now I'm really confused, until one day I had a 20 minute long timeline of about 20 promos back to back, all digitized from beta. Sure enough there was the audio playback delay. I switched the audio playback from firewire to computer audio out and I did not have the problem, but I could not record out to tape in this configuration. Then I thought maybe it's just the length of the timeline, so I opened up a commercial timeline that plays back fine and pasted one of the beta promos in there. The 30 second spot played back fine and then when it hit the beta vid it had the audio dropout. Now understand, the audio is NOT out of sync, it just drops out for about two seconds when playing back from the timeline. You can watch the VU meter on the deck, it completely loses the audio for two seconds, mostly when you first start the timeline and at most transitions. I now think it may have something to do with the source material. I just digitized some video from DV that was shot on a JVC camera, when most of the stuff I shoot is from a Canon XL1. The JVC camera footage has this dropout issue. Any clues?

This has happened to me too. The problem is with the firmware in older DV3000 decks. JVC has an update, but you can't do it yourself. JVC or your dealer will have to do it for you. In the meantime there is a workaround. Make sure your DV3000 is powered on FIRST. Then start FCP. That trick always worked for me. Good Luck.

Cannot adjust record audio level with I-Mic as audio in

Hi,
I would like to record audio from my stereo through my Griffin Technologies I-Mic connection using Audacity audio software. I cannot adjust input recording audio down even though I have completely turned off the input audio on Audicity. The recording audio is pegging red and the recorded playback audio is completely overmodulated. The audicity help techs believe the problem lies with my sound card, which happens to be the Sound Blaster 24 bit.
Months ago, I was able to do it, but this time around had no success. Is there something that I can click on the soundblaster that will allow audicity to properly adjust the input audio?
Karl

Wow, here I go again..... I found out how I locked up the audio track of my video file.
After I re-imported my original video recording, and had adjusted the volume level, I had to expand my video image to fill my "canvas". When I went to transform this layer, I was told I must first convert this to a smart object. As soon as I did that, the track turned from blue to purple!
I would hope that if I edit my original video track in such a simple way, that I would NOT loose access to adjusting the volume of my video track...... But that is the odd way that this works.............

Wanting to develop iOS app on Azure for sharing recorded audio stories/narratives

I'm about to start developing an app for iPhone (and eventually Android) that should allow users to:
-record audio narratives
-upload those audio narratives to azure
-browse and listen to the audio narratives that others users have uploaded
-I really want to be able to stream these narratives for playback instead of just downloading or doing a progressive download
I've been trying to use Azure and its media services to achieve this, but I really haven't found any good documentation for audio streaming, especially with iOS/objective-c. There seems to be a lot on video streaming, but nothing on audio.
I'm not an inexperienced developer, but I have never messed with media streaming, and I am fairly new to iOS. Any suggestions? Is Azure the right way to go? Do I really need to stream or would progressive download really be good
enough in my case? Would I be able to get far enough using the video streaming tutorials? (ie, is the code for streaming video and audio pretty much the same?) Are there any other third party services or APIs that would work well to accomplish
this in conjunction with Azure? Any other insights or links to documentation would be great. The only real constraint is that we want to do this on iOS first (vs switching to Android or other platform, though eventually we do want to expand
to other platforms). Thank you!

Unfortunately, the burden is on the app developers to make their stuff fit with the iOS, not on Apple to accommodate them. Uninstalling and reinstalling is probably your only fix. And if their app isn't compatible with iOS7, then you may be needing to look for a new app.
I'd just go ahead and delete it and reinstall it. Chances are that file either isn't there or is corrupt and won't work anyway.
