Recording audio portion with two headsets

I would like to use two people/two headsets to record the
audio portion of my captivate software demo. We are using two
digital headset microphones, each with a USB connection
(Plantronics Gamecom | Pro 1) within a VMware session. The visual
portion records just fine, but only one headset picks up the audio
portion. The second headset doesn't pick up anything.
Ideas on how to get BOTH headsets working while recording?
(We just spent money on the headsets and would prefer not having to
spend more money on a single, but shared, microphone that sits on a
desk; plus we're under a tight schedule :-)

Sorry I don't have an answer for you - directly, anyway. I do
understand why you might want to do the dual-mic thing, but I don't
believe Captivate can handle the double-source audio.
I would recommend (unless someone here has a better answer)
that you use your dual microphones and take your script outside
Captivate to do the recording, then use the Audio Import function
to bring your saved MP3 or WAV audio into the project that way.
Best of luck, and welcome to the User Community!

  • How to record audio using wireless phone headset on a mac (Adobe CS6)?

    I have purchased a Plantronics Savvi w440 headset, with which I want to record audio. I was assured by the company that I could.
    Well, Audition won't record me talking; it only "picks up" about 1 sec, then stops recording.
    I have used a variety of mics before; I know how to set them up in Audio Hardware. My Default input & output are this new headset. Still, no recording.
    I have Audition CS6 on a macbook pro.
    I need help. Thanks.

    Thanks Bob for your help. I had already downloaded and installed the software for this headset on my Mac. Still won't work. There are no updates for this headset. At least, I haven't found one.

  • 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?

    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.............

  • I record audio MPEG with MP3 extension

    BACKGROUND
    I record short sound audio MPEG clips , that generate a file with extension “MP3”. The bit rate is 128 kbps, which I understand must be increased to  >1’200 kbps
    BIT RATES
    I did increase this to “total bit rate” of 192’000 but am not sure if that‘s the same as kbps.
    CONVERSION
    I use an app from Apple called “MP3-Converter”
    I then convert the “MP3” file & then find the files in a “My Music” folder, with file extensions : “mp3”,  “m4a” “MP3”.
    ITUNES
    Itunes will play each file.
    GARAGEBAND
    I can’t drag these files in2 a Garageband project, either via iTunes  or thru Garageband’s media browser.
    WORK AROUND
    I downloaded a program called   “Audacity”, which has since disappeared from my Apple Mac. I was able to upload to this program, which converted the file to “.wav”, which I then found in iTunes. I could then move it to a Garageband project to manipulate.
    EASIER WAY
    There must be an easier way to do this.
    SOLUTION
    Any suggestions to make this an easier process would be GR8.

    Does anyone ever do the same thing before?
    What i want is to make sure there is a way that one can
    specify a audio codec with which flash player will use to record
    the audio data come from the microphone .
    thanks

  • Recording an interview with two microphones?

    Thank you for considering my question.  I'm conducting a series of interviews on location and am recording the conversations with GarageBand on my MacBook Pro (13", late 2011), running OS X Maverick 10.9.2. 
    I've been using one Blue Snowball external microphone, but this doesn't pick up both voices very well. 
    May I add a second microphone to GarageBand and get two separate vocal tracks?
    Also, which external microphones do you like for recording interviews?  The Blue Snowball is very bulky, and I'd rather not have to cart it around (although it looks impressive).
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    yes, you can create an aggregate device for multiple inputs:

    (Let the page FULLY load. The link to your answer is at the top of your screen)
    although this short video tutorial is made with os x 10.9 and GBv10, the principles are the same for 10.6 and earlier versions of GB:

    you can take a look at the Samson here:

    but im not sure that it's any less bulky.

  • Recording Audio through/with Flash

    Hello,
    We are working with a client who has a project that they need
    a customer to record audio from their computer. We want to do the
    designs in Flash. Does anybody have an idea or suggestion on how to
    record audio through flash (swf) or what software would be useful
    in conjunction with?
    Thanks!

    You can capture audio from a microphone quite easily in
    Flash:
    var mic:Microphone = Microphone.getMicrophone();
    mic.setLoopBack(); //Routes audio to speakers
    However saving audio has always been a problem in Flash. It
    is a tricky work-around process. You can only send to a server
    running Flash Media Server and then convert the audio using a tool
    like the one used for this project:
    http://blog.andrewpaulsimmons.com/2007/05/recording-audio-with-flash-player-to.html#links
    Recorded audio in Flash uses the NellyMoser codec, which is a
    low quality mono only audio codec designed for voice only. I found
    a decoder here as well as the one listed at the link above:
    http://code.google.com/p/nelly2pcm/downloads/list
    Hopefully Flash will improve in this field in the
    future.

  • Are plug-ins applied in the recorded audio file with GB2?

    I have a very basic question and I think I know the answer but I just want to have a confirmation. I am using the ChannelStrip plug-in from Metric Halo, which is great by the way, I am wondering if the process is applied directly in the audio file when I am recording a track or if it will only be when I export the track to iTunes? For example when you process a file with a software like PEAK you must indicate that you want the plug in to be applied to the audio file unless it will leave the original audio file unchanged.
    Thanks in advance!

    If I can remember rightly, a sound recordist friend of mine had one of these units and there was a problem importing the audio from it into pro-tools and avid. I do remember though it was a firmware update that eventually fixed it.
    Also does this thing record dual stereo channels onto one .wav file, or two seperate .wavs?

  • Seperating audio files with two simultaneous tracks

    hi,
    we did some after recording, whereby we recorded a fresh dialogue track over the top of the original movie file, so we now have avi files with video and TWO audio tracks playing at the same time...
    How do I go about separating the audio in Premiere CS2?
    Thanks heaps in advance!
    Leo

    hi again,
    thanks for those quick replies John and Bill (yes i was wanting to take one of the audio tracks and kind of double-it-up, so that the re-recorded layer replaces the original layer and becomes stereo)...
    I actually just found out how to do it... using your helpful "fill left" hints...
    for anyone else who is looking to easily use just one audio file...:
    just go to the sound effects panel and under the 'stereo' tab there's an option called 'fill left' and 'fill right'...
    just like you mentioned!
    thanks again so much!

  • Reading and Recording audio waveforms with SoundBlas

    Does any of the Soundblaster hardware or software have the ability to record an audio waveform. Specifically, if I put an audio input into the soundblaster, can it read and recored the waveform's voltage value?

    Just in case some one might need it, I solved my problem:
    I simply needed to initialize the AudioSession before playing/recording. I did so with the following code:
    OSStatus err;
    AudioSessionInitialize(NULL, NULL, MyInterruptionListener, self);
    UInt32 sessionCategory = kAudioSessionCategory_PlayAndRecord;
    err = AudioSessionSetProperty (kAudioSessionProperty_AudioCategory,
    sizeof (sessionCategory),
    &sessionCategory);
    AudioSessionSetActive(TRUE);

  • Recording audio voice with single microphone but getting stereo output

  • How to show different recorded audio channels in timeline

    I've recorded an interview with two microphones (one was really bad, so I only want to use the other recorded microphone). I imported the clip from the tape camera into FCP X. Now in FCP X on the timeline I only see one audio track when I seperate it from the video. The two microphones seems to be 'mixed'. This was different in FCP 7 where you see both audio channels seperated.
    How do I manage to seperate the 2 audio channels into 2 channels. I'v troed with Channel Configuration via Audio Inspector but I do not understand it.
    Thanks, Pim

    Select the clip in the timeline and in the audio tab in the inspector in the channels seection switch to dual mono. You can switch off a track here if you wish.

  • Record audio Yamaha Clavinova and Garageband

    I want to record audio: keyboard playing live and vocals,(the clavinova has a voice processor onboard) and also play a midi file with live vocals.
    I've never done this using Garage band. can someone give me the steps? I'm somewhat familiar with Garageband but haven't used it a lot. I could use a step-by-step tutorial (video?) if there is one

    Do you have an audio interface with two inputs?
    You need to cable the output of the keyboard to one input on the interface and the microphone (for vocals) to another input on the interface.
    Create two real instrument tracks in GB and set the input for each track to the input on your interface.
    The MIDI file can be played back in GB simultaneously on a software instrument track with the instrument of your choice.

  • Record audio for the video

    Hi i am trying to see if there is some way to record audio like with the audio recoreder they sell for previous models but the thing is that it does not work with the video ipod
    so how do you record audio and speeches ect so i can do pod casts and stuff?
    also trying to record the my band on it

    Do you mean you want to use the iPod as an audio recorder?
    Currently it is not possible as there are no compatible microphones.
    There are a few in the works by other companies, but as of yet, they have no firm release date (Spring).

  • G580 audio problem with skype

    Hi - no one can hear me on skype, the G580's built-in mike is so bad. I see from forum discussions that we have to use a splitter cable -- headphone+mic to 3.5 -- and then plug the headph & mic leads into that cable. But can we just get a headph-mic that leads directly into 3.5, and so avoid the splitter? e.g. this one:http://www.amazon.com/Razer-Kraken-Over-Music-Headset/dp/B009SJR278/ I don't want to buy anything that isn't going to work! 

    Thank you for your quick response! When I tried plugging a microphone into the G580's USB port, I could not hear the other side. Can you confirm this will not happen when I use the 3.5 port? Someone wrote here - https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-T400-T500-and-newer-T/Audio-combo-jack-vs-headphone-earphone-with-mic-and-speaker/ta-p/240186 - that "When powering up the splitter cable must be disconnected. After powering up the notebook I plug in the splitter cable first, then the headset and finally the external microphone into the splitter cable.Using this three step sequence is the only way having the external microphone recognized by the notebook. After hours of searching on the web, without result, I discovered this by trial and error.Turning on the notebook with the mic in place will result in not having recognized the external microphone." I'm guessing there's no visible splitter cable with the Razer Kraken. Does this mean there's no way to plug in the audio last, with that headset?
