Recording no audio!!??? PLEASE HELP

Hi,
I am a new audition user and have just set up my mic. I am running my microphone through a mixer, and into my mic input port on my computer. I am hearing gpood sound from my mic through my speakers, but for some reaseon audition does not seem to pick up any signal level at all. I have configured my windows volume control input setting to there highest potential. Still, however, I am unable to record a sound. Since the microphone is working with my computer, I suspect a software issue of some kind. Please help I have been playing with this for days now....

It sounds like a "Windows Mixer" problem to me.  Audition doesn't select the source for recording; you have to specify that in Windows.
You don't specify what version of Windows you're using so there will be slight differences, but basically you have to click on the little loudspeaker icon in the bottom right hand of your screen, get to the recording mixer, and select Microphone as the input you want to record.  Exactly how you do this varies among Windows versions but with some fiddling around you should find it.  Be aware that the basic mixer you find usually comes up showing playback, not record...so even if you can hear your mic you may be recording something else.
This is usually the fix you need, but if it's not enough, check Edit/Audio Hardware Setup in Audition itself to make sure your sound card and appropriate driver are selected by Audition.

    You most likely installed Windows 7 in EFI mode. Can you confirm this?
    If you used Bootcamp Assistant to partition your drive, you did not install in EFI mode.
    If you selected "EFI Boot" at the boot menu before installing Windows, you started the EFI Boot installer.
    Please let us know whether or not you installed in EFI mode because audio not working is a common problem in EFI mode, but should not appear in normal BIOS mode. (Normal BIOS mode is when you used Bootcamp assistant)

  • Recording audio, please help asap

    Hello,
    I am unable to record a narration for my videos in adobe premiere. I have watched tutorials including those on the adobe website, and there is supposed to be a record button in the audio clip mixer.
    I don't have one. I have the letters "M", "S", and next to it is supposed to be record, but I have the "write keyframes" button. How else can I record a narration? Please help!

  • Command or Canvas Events for Recording ?? Please Help..

    Hi I am Abhijith I am a total newbie to the j2me world, And I am learning it now,
    My project topic is "Bluetooth Walkie Talkie " , And I am trying my best and putting
    all my efforts to code incrementally by learning , Before I could implement bluetooth,
    I thought let me complete the recording The audio and playing part first,
    The recording and playing of audio is working fine , But i would like to do it a real manner as Real Walkie talkie does, I want to record audio ONLY when the Key is being
    pressed , and when its released it should exit the player hence saving the recorded file,
    (Actually i dont want to save it in future,i would be sending the bytearray though the bluetooth , but for now , I want the Current module to be ready)
    I tried my best searching online to implement my requirement but the couldnot find
    such events I found Canva's KEYPRESS, KEYRELEASE , etc events but they dint not
    serve my purpose, Let me clearly tell where I am stuck , After the midlet starts(by launching it) then i would like to press a key( keypressed say No 5) for certain
    amount of time and the audio should be recorded only for the keypressed duration ,
    after I release , it should stop recording and save as a wav file .
    Whats happening is When i keep the key pressed , The midlet asks whether to allow
    the recording , for this purpose when I release key the control is going out, and
    i am not able to achieve the needed , I am posting the code here, Please Help me.
    I am not asking for the complete spoon feeding or ready made code, But as a beginner
    I need help from you all to learn and implement it.(at least it should satisfy me,i would feel i have learnt something then)
    Here below is my code ( i AM using WTK 2.5 )

    The control goes out when midlet asks whether to allow recording ,
    I thank you anticipation ...
    -Abhijith Rao

    Midlet asking whether to allow the recording are typical permissions prompts specified by MIDP security policy. You need to sign the MIDlet and give it proper permissions.
    Problems like this were discussed in an older thread at WTK forum: *[MIDlet keeps asking for permission.|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5347313]* According to one of the posters in the thread, +"...I got it to work on the emulator by setting the permission to 'manufacturer'. It runs smoothly without annoying questions..."+
    If you're interested, check documentation and tutorials on MIDP security policy for more details.
    For events to record audio only when the key is being pressed, consider GameCanvas API, method getKeyStates.
    I am not certain though if doing it this way is a good idea. I doubt that phone users have same habits as those of walkie-talkies; for them it might be indeed more comfortable to use single simple key presses to start and finish recording.

  • Line in recorde mostly noise and very low audio (please help)

    i think i may be giving my client a lot of money back...
    about 20 minutes into a video gig i realized that the line in audio i was getting on my camera was not working properly so i pulled the plug and jsut picked up from the camra mic, but i am left with about... 18 minutes of very very poor audio. are there any brave and generouse soundtrack pros who can tell me waht setting to apply to make this "listenable"
    you can download a 30 second snipit here: http://www.video-guy.com/forums/ami_out_ofluck.zip
    i have soundtrack, but rarely use it, so like i said. if anyone would be kind enough to hold my hand and tell me what buttons to push i would be very much in your debt.
    heck, i'll even do some free photoshop, or final cut work for you.
    thanks.

    First off, yes you're pretty much out of luck. I listened to your sample, and there's probably nothing you could do to make this sound good. With enough filtering, you could make it so the voice is marginally intelligible, but it's never going to sound like a good recording.
    Second, while this web forum is good for discussion about Soundtrack Pro's features and how to use them, I've found that Usenet has much more meaningful discussions on audio editing techniques in general. A couple newsgroups I read religiously are rec.arts.movies.production.sound and rec.audio.pro.

  • Flash audio - PLEASE HELP!

    Dreamweaver has included in its program the best looking
    flash players I have seen.
    When you go to Insert ---> Media ---> Flash
    Video........that's what I am refering to
    But this is for adding video to your site using the player
    designs provided in Dreamweaver
    Is is possible to use this same method and player syles, but
    for Audio files instead of video - SWF, MP3, .... any audio files
    Please, I really need to add audio to my site
    I tried Swish Jukebox but apparently you cannot add the same
    player style more than once on the same page (which is strange)
    If there is a way to use the Flash Video insert feature for
    audio files?
    I would greatly appreciate the help please
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for your time

    http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/
    I found that I had to go outside to get a Flash audio player,
    and used the one found at the link above.

  • How to Hear Metronome in Headphones While Recording Through Audio Interface - Help!

    Hey everybody,
    So I've been trying to work through this problem for 3+ hours now and I'm stumped. It's very frustrating as it is such a simple problem. Right now I'm recording acoustic guitar through an audio interface - guitar sound goes to microphone, microphone goes to interface, interface goes to audio jack in Macbook. Pretty simple setup. I can even insert a splitter into the audio jack on the Macbook which will allow me to hear what I am playing through the interface in my headphones, which is what I wanted. However, when I hit record and the metronome starts playing, as I want it to, I can't get the metronome to play through my headphones - they will only play through the speakers. How can I get around this? Is it even possible, or do I need an audio to USB interface so I can have a set audio in (through the USB) and a set audio out (through the audio port)? Again, your help would be much appreciated as I am completely stumped.
    Cheers!

    In Logic Pro 9 (and X) you can assign different devices to the In- and Output, so I don't understand why you wouldn't be able to get sound in through the microphone and out through the headphones. You can even combine the ouputs into a Multi-Output device to send the same sound simultaneously to all outputs.
    You can also aggregate all your in- and outputs into an Aggregate Device, then you can use any of your outputs and any of your inputs inside the same Logic project (on the channel strips).
    Setup in Audio MIDI Setup (separate app, part of any OS X install, can be found in the Applications>Utilities folder)
    Setup in Logic Pro>Preferences>Audio>Devices (apart from colorscheme, it's the same in LP 9 and LP X)

  • I have just got a iPod 5 gen 32gb and lightning adapter but can't get it to work with my docking station it will charge but not play audio please help??

    I have bought a 5th gen iPod and lightning adapter but it won't wrk on my docking station it charges but doesn't play audio? Please help

    Does the dock manufacture say it is compatible with the 5G iPod with iOS 6.0.1?
    Have you went to the manufacturer's support site? Contacted them?
    Try resetting the dock. How you do that depends upon the dock
    Sometimes this works
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Blackberry Curve 8330 - No volume or audio - PLEASE HELP

    All of a sudden this past weekend, my BB stopped emitting any and all audio. If someone calls, no ring; when my alarm or slerts go off, no audio; etc.
    I recently had my earpiece in and checked my ringtones only to find that I could indeed hear them. Then, I tried calling myself from a landline with the earpiece in and no ring! I am sorry for all this detail, but as you can see, I am at a complete loss.
    Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated!

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    Detail is great. The more specific you are that faster we can help you!
    Try a simple battery pull first.
    Thanks,

  • I need help with the Pinnacle Dazzle DVD recording software. Please help :D

    I have recently bought a Platinum Pinnacle Dazzle DVD Recorder, this device allows me to record gameplay from my PS3 and put it onto my iMac (Capture Card) I nought the Windows version of the software and I need the iMac compatible one but I don't want to go into the shop and spend another £50 on it when I already have the Hardware. Does anyone use Dazzle too? To record their gameplay.
    All I need is a Dazzle DVC100 Driver to help run the hardware. I have it connected and it all works, just need to view it on my iMac now. Any advice?
    If all else fails, i'll just have to go and buy an iMac compatible one.
    Also, what software would you recommend for editing, I intend on making a Montage (A video clip of my best gameplay on Modern Warfare 2 with some nice editing)
    P.S. I'm only new to this, but I am 16, and I have an A in my GCSE ICT, so I know a good bit about computers.

    Of course iMovie is basic, it is aimed at the home and casual user who wants to put holidays and the kid's birthday party on to a DVD and send it to Grandma. It certainly comes with more transition effects than I would ever use.
    Why?
    Go watch a major, big budget film. Do you see a transition everytime the scene changes?
    No. It is 99.9% hard cuts.
    Movie making is about telling a story, not bombarding the audience with twirling "effects". They will soon get bored or irritated with that and never watch it again.
    Now, if you want something more advanced, start with [Final Cut Express|http://www.apple.com/finalcutexpress> and when you are ready, move up to the [Studio|http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio> version. Both have plenty of transitions and there are thousands of plugins available. I don't use most of those either -the interesting tools are those for color correction, keying and compositing. Those are what makes the finished product look polished.

  • My FCP Won't Play ANY AUDIO PLEASE HELP! I spent 20 hrs on this!!!

    So I'm editing some footage from a trip a friend and I took and (stupid) downloading a piece of crap MPlayer and, before I put in the DVD mind you, save my project. That d*&% Mplayer freezes up on me and after deleting that, I find in ALL of my FCP sequences, NO AUDIO PLAYS. I'm mean nothing. I have probably spent about 20 hours editing so I'm sure you can see my frustration. Also (body after the funeral), I set my autosave on every 10 minutes and it hasn't ever worked. What sould I do? IIIII NNEEEDDD HEEEELLLPPP!!!!

    Have you checked the sound pane in System Preferences to make sure the program you loadedd didn't change something? Also check the audio routing in FCP to make sure it's set correctly as well.

  • MPEG-2 file has out of sync audio - PLEASE HELP

    We captured four mini-DV tapes into Final Cut Pro HD using my Canon mini DV camera and a firewire. After capture we put each tape on its own timeline, added chapter markers, and then compressed each one into MPEG-2 files using the QT codec. Once we had the compressed files we deleted the origional footage and burned DVDs with the MPEG-2s.
    After viewing the DVDs we realized that the audio was out of sync on each of them. It seems to get pregressively worse as the tape plays (the beginning is close to being in sync and at the end it's a few seconds off). Each tape is about 59 minutes long.
    We really need to fix this and do not have access to the orional/captured footage. Does anyone have any ideas?

    You deleted the original footage before you verified anything !
    Sorry, this is just <princess bride voice> inconceivable <pbv off>
    Use MPEG Streamclip or DVDxDV to extract a DV NTSC file from the VOB files.
    Drop that in the time line.
    export the audio as an AIFF file
    Open the file in Peak or similar application that change the length of the audio file without changing the pitch.
    reimport the file to FCP
    Re export the file as a m2v and burn a new disk.
    Swear on whatever is holy that you will NEVER delete source footage again if you do not have access to original tapes/media.

    ps. Do not double post - we will get to you.

  • When Button Press Save Record (ORA_02291) *Urgent, Please help

    I simply dont understand it.. It worked one minute and then I started getting this error. It is something to do with constraints but I cannot see the error. Below are my tables.

    Watch out for column order!
    Try changing the order of the values in the INSERT statement.
    Correct one would be:
    INSERT INTO orders VALUES
    (:orders.o_id,
    :orders.o_date,
    :orders.projectid,
    :orders.clientid);
    COMMIT;
