Recordings on beat

I got a problem with Adobe Audition 3.
When I try to record my voice (rap) on a beat, and then play it, i hear my voice a couple of ms apart from where it should be. now I can't tape my record on the beat. I know I can move the track but I don't find that handy. Can someone help me?

Seems like you have a problem with latency and need to adjust your soundcard settings.
FWIW Latency is the delay between the audio hitting the input of your soundcard and taking the route of being converted to digital, processed by software (Audition) and converted from digital to analog and something you can hear at the soundcard output. With current technology this is bound to take
some time, but we're talking a handful of milliseconds here which can be
perceived as no delay at all. That is on a well set up system. Internal audio on a laptop will have a hard time giving you acceptable low latency, but apart from that even very modest audio interfaces like most external interfaces USB / Firewire will give you a good result. If you have one of those (as a minimum), you need to check:
- That you're actually using an ASIO driver for your device. If it doesn't have any (suspicious!) you can use the free ASIO4ALL download.
- Different buffer and latency settings. If you can go below 20 ms you should be fine. Very small numbers (<7) will often result in pops & crackles in your audio, and you need to increase the number to get rid of it. The latency time works hand in hand with the buffer size; sometimes the default setting is too high, like 4096. On many systems you can take that down to 256, for instance. You don't list any equipment so the numbers that will be useable in your setup is just a guess on my part.
Settings are adjusted in Audition's Audio Hardware Setup, but some devices have their own software applications which you can/should run instead.

Has anyone experience a problem with not being able to add a drumbeat loop to a prerecorded project? When I open the loop browser, there are only a few options available. The rest are greyed out. I can only choose individual drum sounds, not full beats

I have created a project and recorded 2 tracks, one with a guitar and the other vocals. I would like to add a drum loop, but when I pull up the loop browser, all of the normal selections aren't available. Some are greyed out, including "Beats". "All Drums" is available, but when I click on it it pulls up some cymbal sounds only. I've opened some old recordings in GB to see if this is a consistent issue, but it's not. Only this one project won't allow me to use drum loops. Which leads me to believe there is something I have selected or not selected within the project that's not allowing me to see all the loops. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
G Clef

My problem is the graphs of my audio recordings in the arrange window are so small it makes accurate editing very difficult.

Try the waveform zoom slider. Recording louder just to get a better visible waveform would be, well, silly.
From the manual: (click on links to see pics)
To change the zoom level using the Waveform Zoom button
Click-hold the Waveform Zoom button. A slider appears.
http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/usermanual/Art/S01/S0185_WaveZoom.png
Drag the slider. As you do, the waveform shown in all audio regions, and in the Beat Mapping track, is increased or decreased in size.

Beats-Audio / Sound System Enhancement dv7 / HP Envy 15

Beats-Audio - Sound system Enhancement
Test system
dv7t – 6100 Quad / Windows 7- 64bit
Beats-audio
Introduction - Cave Sound Caper
Edits 29-Nov-2011
This is a re-write of this document.
Parts One and Two have been flipped. It's a work in progress.
The purpose of this Post is to provide a method to enhance the sound coming from your onboard beats-audio speakers. The quality of the sound should improve - more importantly, MORE sound should be available. This is important if your system is suffering from lack of enough sound from the onboard speaker system.
This process does not make use of the Loudness Equalization enhancement. I tested the Loudness Equalization enhancement (for a different purpose). Setting the enhancement on my test system and then switching the enhancement off resulted in the “Low Sound” syndrome. It took some amount of work to recover from that mess. The Loudness Equalization enhancement, in this author's opinion, is to be avoided unless its use is necessary.
FLIPPED:
The original intent of this procedure has been to provide a means to increase the amount of sound available from the onboard speakers on notebooks that are equipped with beats-audio IDT sound drivers. The “Pre-work” on my original post was overwhelming the intent. If your system is healthy, and the only reason to read this document is to enhance the amount of sound from the speakers, there is no need to hash through the work to fix your IDT driver installation. I’ve moved that section to the end – IDT installation and other work has become Part Two.
You must have your IDT HD driver successfully installed into your system.   The proper IDT HD driver contains the beats-audio interface.
Where to Start?
If you have “No Sound”, the Enhancement process may not work for your system. Please take a look at Part Two and decide whether any of the steps in that section apply to you. It is not my intention that you waste your time trying things you’ve already done over and over to regain the sound on your system. There are many posts on the forum on how fix “No sound”. This post addresses only a couple of “No sound” issues.   There is one slight possibility – see the section about the controls in iTunes – make sure your sound players volume controls are not mis-matched – and make sure you didn’t turn something OFF by accident. If you turned off the sound while watching a movie and now the HDMI sound is off - Poof! You might not have any sound – anywhere. It's just something to check...
If you have “Low Sound”, you might consider reinstalling your IDT driver to see if the issue can be corrected: IDT reinstallation is described in Part Two.
SideBar: As of 24-Nov-2011
If you have a dv7t: check on your HP Software and Driver website for a new IDT HD audio driver. Depending on your model, there may be a new version of the IDT driver, BIOS, and other important updates.
Part One
Some Setup Checks and on to the Enhancement
Make sure all basic Sound settings are set to “Default” to start.
Portions of this procedure are "not of my invention". Full credit will be given later in the Post. This section explains how to increase the amount of sound coming from the onboard speakers. It also attempts to give you a bit of control over the kind of sound coming from the speakers that you may not have at the present. Beats-audio is great; frankly, though - it's made for external powered speakers or headphones... what you get from the speakers on the notebook leaves something to be desired.
A while back I found a very interesting post on the topic of increasing the sound from the onboard speakers. The post was originally written for the HP Envy15. I believe the post has merit - Part One of this procedure is based on that original post.
I tested the suggested combined actions – it does work (at least on a healthy system). The sound quality showed improvement over the standard “out-of-the-box” beats-audio setup and the quantity of volume increased. In other words, this procedure makes the sound coming from the onboard speakers louder without the use of the Loudness Equalization enhancement setting.
I would suggest trying this “Enhancement” under the following circumstances:
Sound Quality is Poor, or the amount of sound from the speakers needs improvement
Sound is quantity “LOW”*
Sound is absent AND you believe the absence is NOT due to hardware failure.** See note on iTunes.
NOTES:
* If your LOW sound issue is severe, it may ONLY respond to using the Loudness Equalization enhancement, in which case this procedure is not recommended for your use. The two are not compatible. See Part Two.
** If there is NO sound on your computer, it’s possible that completing this procedure may not result in any improvement. See Part Two.
Sound Controls – iTunes, Media Player
I would add to the emphasis on checking the volume on one’s iTunes setting. If iTunes volume is turned down, the notebook’s speakers will respond to that – turn up the volume in iTunes without adjusting the volume in the volume mixer and the sound on the notebook will not increase properly (or will suddenly jump). It’s a juggling act and one that must be taken into account when the sound is being reset.   Additionally, if you have other audio players on your computer – in addition to those mentioned in the post – be sure to check them for volume controls: it is important during a sound reset that all the sound players be in sync. If you miss this, you may not get your sound back.
Check for this mismatch in sound volume controls if you do not have sound or if you did have sound and, at some point you turned OFF your sound while watching a moving, a DVD, a something on HDMI controlled audio - and suddenly - you do not have any sound. Sound controls get tangled up. Sometimes you just have to unplug it, but you do have to check the controls.
Sample Rate and bit Depth
I do not use the suggested Sample Rate and bit depth of 24bit 96000 Hz. My system cannot tell the difference and defaults everything to 16bits – my recording equipment cannot discern the difference.   My ears lack sample rate sophistication.   I’ve left my dv7t Quad sound, Default Format (sample rate bit depth) at 16bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality). Sounds fine and it’s where most of my crummy recordings are set anyway. Don’t lose sleep over this one.
Where’s my Taskbar ICON?
A couple of HP forum posts have mentioned the loss of the beats audio icon from the Taskbar tray – the icon should restore itself if one can force the IDT driver to reinstall. Without the IDT driver, beats-audio is not going to work. Assuming the driver has installed and one can reach the beats-audio panel from the Control Panel, THEN it’s possible that for some weird reason the Taskbar icon didn’t reset. It might be possible to try and force a reload of the beats panel controller into the Taskbar. I think this is the file.
For a 64bit system:     C:\Program Files\IDT\WDM\sttray64.exe

It took me awhile but I now have the sound level about 3x what it was to start with. Try these tweaks:

        Listening Experience > Graphic Equalizer > Custom
        -1, +8, +10, +8, +9, +9, +9, +8, +9
Remember that these are suggestions – start here and re-adjust later as desired.
LEFT SIDE
Make sure Beats Audio is CHECKED
        Click the “Music” radio (round) button
        65, 65, 85, 65, 65
NOTE: The Left Side settings are somewhat arbitrary. The “Center” setting is higher – this provides the most sound and should be set higher at least initially for testing, especially if your system has sound issues.
The next section is partially excerpted from the original Post – Remember: JJ’s post was written for HP Envy15 – please adjust your results accordingly. Edits have been made for readability.
Control Panel > Beats Audio Control Panel
Playback > Speakers and headphones > Arrow above Speaker symbol and Select Small Speakers
Select Equalization> Select 'custom'>
Adjustments for this are mainly to boost the signal level in the preamp so we get higher volume while not distorting the sound from the tiny built in speakers.
My setting values are as follows: left to right;
-1, +8, +10, +8, +9, +9, +9, +8, +9, +10
MAKE SURE TO CLICK SAVE WHEN DONE!
Note: Do not crank up the Bass (31hz) control or it will overload the speakers which can't reproduce this anyway, you can even turn down more if you have distortion at high volume.
Check that the slide controls for 'master' and 'speaker symbol' are all the way up.
This should make a big difference in sound volume and quality, and there is one last way to get louder sound. Depending on what you use to play back your audio you can adjust the program’s sound settings or EQ controls also.
In iTunes the EQ has a 'preamp' slider which I boost to about +6, this increases the output level while leaving the EQ settings alone (make sure to check the turn EQ on box).
Windows media player: you have to raise all EQ levels equally (not too much) to boost without affecting sound quality.
In general it is not a good idea to use more than one EQ system in an audio signal or you get more distortion, so don't adjust the EQ curves or bass/treble on more than one device. I chose the Beats / IDT EQ to make the tonal adjustments because it is the audio driver program and preamp that outputs to the speakers, so it should have the best sound quality.
Any adjustments before the preamp that add distortion will just be amplified, so go easy on adjustments in your play back programs.
Finally, when you play your audio,
Sound > Open Volume Mixer >
Make sure to click the Sound logo in the Taskbar so the slider pops up>
Click ‘mixer’ then you should see all the sliders for your devices;
You can independently adjust the levels for the right mix.
If you open the Beats panel and minimize it then a mixer slider also shows for this and you can dial in the effect of the EQ settings.
Headphones:
One last thing; When listening to headphones you will need to increase the bass EQ setting (since headphones can reproduce the low frequencies) in the Beats panel or I just change the drop down selector to the one with a flat curve (beats studio I think) -- the volume for my headphones was not an issue so I defeat the EQ for better sound quality.
Whew. I Didn't think it was this complicated when I started typing....
Hope everyone enjoys better sound with this.

Loudness Equalization – and the LOW Sound Result
I was testing the system sound… CD playing in the background: Sting “If on a Winter’s Night” 02 Soul Cake playing through iTunes – standard speakers-headphones (beats-audio coasting along).
Sounds -> Playback Devices -> Speakers and Headphones -> Properties -> Enhancements
I have rewritten this part three times trying to get it right. Here’s the gist:
I switched on the “Loudness Equalization” enhancement. The sound jumped; it was loud and distorted. I switched the enhancement off – the sound dropped off and didn’t come back. I turned up the volume (with the slider) and down and up and down – and I was hearing Less and less sound from the speakers: “Low Sound Syndrome”: I was hearing what would be expected at setting of 7%. Well, that sucks. (Technical term.)
Based on this experience, I hypothesize that it’s possible to lose one’s sound entirely just by initially adjusting this one enhancement and then losing control over the ensuing ever diminishing returns. I didn’t continue to test this into a theory. It’s a hypothesis. If I had an extra dv7 sitting around, I might sacrifice it on such testing. I gave up right away and went into recovery mode while I still had some sound.
Recovery:
After the Loudness Equalization was turned off,
Recovery Attempts to recover normal sound levels included:
Resetting all Sound to Default settings,
Installing the driver from the webpage (standard load – download, double-click and install), reboot,
“Hard Reset”.
It was finally necessary to force load the IDT HD driver to recover the sound to its normal levels; that is, the driver was Uninstalled and allowed to reinstall at boot. (“Local” install from the Device Manager also works.)
Commentary:
I did not bother with a registry cleaning at this point - it may have made a difference, though it's unlikely since the driver needed to be completely reset by this time. I advocate registry cleaning! Bad things happen to good computers because of a dirty registry. Use your favorite or download CCleaner (free).
Try a Driver Update:
You can always check for Driver updates here – If the driver does update - you may be done with this part. Check the sound and proceed to "Enhancements".
At the Right-Click > Update Driver Software
Audio Driver “Uninstall”
Control Panel -> Device Manager -> Sound, video and game controllers
          Right-Click IDT High Definition Audio CODEC -> Uninstall
You have a choice at this point
If you do not have the means to replace your driver,
THEN do not delete your driver from the computer
OR - If you believe the driver is not working at all,
And / Or you have tried the standard Uninstall/self-install method previously without results,
AND You have the means to REINSTALL that driver from scratch*
Then you may delete the driver -
*Driver Installation From Scratch Requires the following:
You have your IDT HD driver on your computer as a sp*.exe file, for example, in Downloads
Reinstall with Boot:
Shut down the system
Reboot
The driver may install itself at login as the system scans for hardware changes
OR
Reinstall WITHOUT BOOT - Initiate the scan for hardware changes:
Right-Click on the IDT driver , > "Scan for Hardware Changes"
--> Check your sound at this point. It's possible that the driver has in reinstalled itself.
Manual Driver Installation - Comments:
There are a couple of paths used to get the IDT driver onto your system. You can download it from your HP Software and Driver website. You may have been given the path to your IDT driver at the HP ftp softpaq site. The package is downloaded as a sp*.exe file.   You may download the software as often as you need it. Make sure you have the package downloaded before you delete your driver.
Once you have downloaded that package onto your system, the original sp* file will stay intact. As long as you do not delete it, you can reuse it. Once you do install the driver onto your system, an installation directory is created in C:\SWSetup, named the same as the sp* file (without the .exe extension).
In C:\SWSetup\sp* are all the files necessary to reinstall your driver. If you install the software from the sp*.exe file in your Downloads folder, the new installation will ask you whether to overwrite the data in the SWSetup/sp* with the contents of the .exe package – do it. The reinstallation is just unwrapping and redistributing what’s in the .exe file into the same SWSetup/sp folder.
If the "Driver Store" is removed, that is, if the driver package is ever removed from C:\SWSetup, you can reinstall from the sp* file as long you you have it in your Downloads folder - it will recreate that SWSetup/sp* folder.
What about Versions?
Latest is Usually best. If you are concerned AND you think you may not be able to get another a copy of an older driver that is in C:\SWSetup\sp*, make a copy of the folder before uninstalling any driver or making any changes.
Installation from the Original sp* package
Find the sp* file on your system. It will be most likely be located in your “Downloads” folder.
Simple Driver Installation from the 'Saved' installation sp* file:
Close everything that isn’t needed, browsers, games, windows…
Right-Click on the installation package (the sp* file), Select 'Run as Administrator' and start the installation
Answer any questions…and follow the instructions
or...
Installation from the Device Manager
If the driver software is still on the system from a previous installation, it is located in C:\SWSetup
You can tell the Device Manager to access the package on the system:
Control Panel > icons > Device Manager > (Highlight) IDT High Definition Audio CODEC >
                      Right-Click > Update Driver Software > Browse my computer for driver software
                      Browse to C:\SWSetup\sp*
                      Be sure the “Include Subfolders” box is CHECKED

Audio Services Check / Restart
This section is not strictly part of the "Enhancement" procedure. It has been included because it is necessary that these settings be correct so that the sound can function properly. If you are not having sound issues, skip this part...
Check system Services to make sure that your sound related services are running as they should.
Restart each service (except as noted): Right-Click > Restart
Control Panel -> icon -> Administrative Tools -> Services > bottom of page > Standard (optional - makes it easier to column sizes)
Sound services must be showing as
Status = Started
Startup Type = Automatic
Sound Services:
Audio Service
Multimedia Class Scheduler
Windows Audio
Windows Audio Endpoint Builder
Power (check only)
RPC (check only)
That’s it.
It’s a matter of tweaking the settings to get results. Do not forget that that Left/Right Speakers setting is turned off in Speakers Configure. It’s not a big deal (assuming this works), but it’s DIFFERENT and it needs to be kept track of.
I hope this helps your sound work better!
Kudos are Earned!
Kind Regards,

Nice extensive research on reseting Beats Audio on the HP laptops.
Just bought the Envy 17t-3000 and I updated all the drivers via HP Support Manager.
BEFORE the update, the Beats Audio worked well..
1. Press the dial and the popup box comes up ~3 secs
2. Volume indicator swirl appeared to show volume level
AFTER the update, something changed the Beats Audio... had to re-install the latest driver from HP website (even after contacting HP Tech support via chat and email several times)...
1. Press the dial and the popup box comes up ~10-12 secs now!
2. Volume indicator swirl DISAPPEARED so volume level indicator is GONE
Sure the sound works but NOW I do NOT know or remember the volume level whenever I listen to music.
You can barely tell on the Windows Speaker icon on Icon bar since 2 sound waves indicate at least 50% sound level but that's it!
I have the following softwares and checked their settings and set them all at 50% and use the Beats Audio dial to control the volume whenever the programs are used:
1. WinAmp
2. VLC player
3. MPC
4. WMP
No matter what I try, it appears that the Beats Audio Volume Control Swirl Indicator is GONE! Worse, there's NO Windows volume control indicator unless leave the Volume Mixer open!
Anyone know how to fix this problem and bring Back the Audio Beats volume indicator??
Thanks!

Best Strategy for Quantizing Old Audio Recordings

I've got a bunch of old four-track cassette recordings that I'm cleaning up. One of the things I'm trying to do is correct the tape drag. Even though they were recorded at a consistent tempo, the song gets unintentionally faster towards the end due to the nature of the medium.
I'm trying a few things but have hit a wall:
1. Beat mapping will allow me to get the click track to follow the recording, but it doesn't correct the problem. Once it's beat mapped, is there a way to then adjust everything to a consistent tempo?
2. I've tried using the new Flex feature in Logic 9. I start by picking an approximate tempo and then push and pull the transients to correct the tape drag. The problem with this is that you need to do it to each track individually and it's impossible to keep them all in sync, as there's no "global" flex command. I suppose one solution is to do it in the mastering stage, using a stereo mixdown. But it would be great in I could do it before that.
Any other ideas?

I kept a PowerBook G4 6 years before I finally got rid of it because it was starting to give me some problems. I've had my current iMac almost 3 years now and have no immediate plans to get rid of it. I've had my Airport Extreme Base Station for 6 years and it still appears to be working OK and doing what I need it to do.
When someone asks me, I always say buy a new computer only when you absolutely need one or must have the abolsute latest computer on the market.
As for selling an old one, others on this forum may have a better handle on it than I do.

Recordings out of sync with back

I have Sound Blaster Li've! 7. and record on Cool Edit Pro 2.. I import mp3 backings to my recording software and then record vocal tracks. On playback, I noticed that the two tracks quickly get out of sync. After much trial and error, I've found only two solutions to correct the problem...neither of which is satisfying to me.
Solution #: Run a sync correction through my recording software for every vocal track I lay down...very time consuming.
Solution #2: Convert my mp3 backings to a wav file. After importing the converted file to Cool Edit Pro, convert sample rate from 44. to 48 and the bit resolution from 6 to 32. This takes several minutes and I can't seem to save it and reuse it at a later time since Cool Edit Pro recognizes it as a different sample rate and won't allow me to load it into the multitrack recording view for use.
Upgrading to Audigy doesn't seem to be an option since I've seen other threads showing the same problem exists with that series, as well.
Would 5. be a better option? Never had this problem with the original soundcard that came with my computer. I don't want to run correction OR convert and resample my backings to record. Should I look for a different sound card?
Thanks

I looked into the specs on Audigy and need to know if Audigy 4 (not Audigy 4 Pro) will work with recording in Cool Edit Pro? CEP uses 44. sample rate.
Your card, Li've! 24-bit, does have known issue w/ keeping in sync. Audigy cards like A4 (non pro), A2Value and A2Zs don't have this issue (least I have never heard of it).
But the quality on those mentioned SB cards not as good as w/ X-Fi as for an example.
If you're after low budged card for recording under Creative brand --> E-MU 0404 is the only choice under 00US$. w/ 0404 you could get LE versions of Sonar 4 and Cubase, Li've Lite and lots of other software you would like to use in your recordings. 0404 can also be installed as 2nd card w/ the one you have there already --> Li've! for gaming and multichannel audio, 0404 for recording. Installing could become painful, but I've read they should work together.
E-MU 0404 beats all SB cards when compared by quality. 0404 does have only 2 analog mono line inputs (+ 2 digital) so for microphone you would need an extarnal mic-amp or mixer w/ mic-amp. 0404 has also only two mono analog outputs (+ 2 digital).

Synchronization of uploaded rhythmic audio structure with Logic-created beat?

That´s it.
I wanna equalize an uploaded rhythmic audio structure with an Logic-created beat. F.e., the audio sound could be the sound of a watch having 60bpm normally, and the Logic-beat has 80bpm. How do I get both to the same bpm? Thx for any useful answer.

The MIDI data is in your Boss machine. There is no MIDI in Logic to pull audio from your drum machine. Once Logic is slaved you have three options. 1. Realtime record two tracks of audio into Logic from your drum machine. 2. If your drum machine can actually generate musical parts on independant tracks like my old Boss DR-5, then you can record separate tracks into Logic one at a time by muting all but one track for each recording. 3. You could record MIDI from your DR880 into Logic. This is the best option since you can record all channels in one pass and then edit parts in the matrix editor, where you can monitor individual notes or requantize as you see fit. Also, once the MIDI recording is complete, you no longer have to sync Logic to your drum machine. Logic will play the recorded MIDI data back through your drum machine. If you create new tracks in Logic like vocals or adding a new instrument, then you may wish to change part of the DR880 beat to complement the new recordings. You won't have this option unless you record MIDI first, edit all tracks together in Logic, and then bounce to audio after all editing is complete. When recording MIDI from your DR880, make sure you set up new external MIDI tracks in Logic. Make sure to create one track per MIDI channel coming from your BOSS.
Record arm the new MIDI tracks in Logic and then you are ready to do your MIDI recording of all tracks in one pass.

Voice memos in iOS7, on new iphone 5s cuts off recordings

Hi,
Voice memos has always been super reliable in previous versions but on a new iphone 5s with ios7 I'm finding it cuts off recordings very unpredictably - sometimes after less than a minute sometimes after a quarter hour or so.
I've seen other threads where the issue has been described but this has been explicitly on longer recordings or where the recording is finished so wanted to raise this again as an issue on new hardware with recordings of any length where the recording stops by itself.
The bug is making the app unusable at present which is a shame as it looks like it could be a greatly improved app.
Any ideas?

The worse thing about this is that Apple Support does not appear to know about it and steered me in the wrong direction. Today I tried it again and lost another 50 minute recording.
Apple needs to fix this and let users and tech staff know ASAP.
This has now cost me 2 hours of client time, plus 3 hours of tech support. The client information is priceless to me. I will not be able to retrieve the content of those discussions, even if I conduct the meetings again. Too many variables were at play.
I am beyond disillusioned that this issue is being reported in various threads throughout the fall and has not been addressed, and that phone support is unwaware, so more users will end up with the same terrible losses.
It is, in my opinion, highly irresponsible and a show of disrespect to customers to permit this to be occuring without warning users or applying fixes.

Voice Memos, iPhone 5S, iTunes - wont show my recordings

Okay so I have 34 Voice memos 3 hours long each, they are present on my phone, but my itunes shows only 14 of them.
I switched computers, so I did complete backup on new computer, it started spitting out messages that if i sync music then "iPhone will be deleted and replaced with iPhone from new computer" that happened when i clicked that i want to manually manage music. Well, to my luck it did not delete iPhone and replace it with another iPhone, but just deleted my music.
Then I clicked "On This iPhone, and only saw 14 recordings, my phone still has 34, I got freaked out so I downloaded iFunBox and backed up everything manually, I cannot trust to back up my iPhone now, because I am afraid the iTunes will wipe half of my recordings, what the **** should I do? I havent backed up in a few weeks, not sure if old backup has all recordings

and also why do my voice memos show up in my music - only in itunes not on iphone

New to Fios: Schedules Recordings and DVR Capacity

I just gave up on RCN in lieu or Verizon Fios and thus far - can't stand the dvr.
1) The capacity is no where near what RCN's was. I had days worth of TV, movies, etc saved and never ran out of space. With Verizon, it's been less than a week and I`m already half full. I don't have a HD TV, but I`m wondering if my lack of space is caused by the recorder taping in HD. How do I check this setting to ensure that everything being recorded is standard definition?
2) The Verizon DVR is really bad at only keeping two episodes of a show, and only recording new/first run shows. Is there any setting to make this work better? I tried to set it to record first runs only of the show scrubs, on any channel (i wasnt sure what channel the new ones are run on) and in two days it taped 10 episodes...

The FiOS DVR has the same 160GB capacity as the RCN DVR.
SD channels are 0-499 and HD channels are 500+. All the SD local channels can be found under 50.
Recordings from HD channels consume 3-6x the capacity of SD channels.

I created a slide show in imovie for my daughters 21st with voice overs from friends and family which was all working fine but now the voice recordings are not playing at all. Obviously some setting has changed but I can't find which one.

Easiest way to sync 2 audio tracks - detect beats?

I record bands using a camcorder and simultaneously record hi quality audio using a multi-track recorder. My previous software automatically recognized that the audio tracks were similar and sync'ed them for me. So far... trying to sync my hi fidelity MP3 with the camcorder audio/video has been difficult. I tried using "beat detect" but I don't see how to use that on 2 different audio tracks to sync them. Once they are synched, I delete the camcorder audio and I am left with the same video with awesome audio. What is the easiest/fastest way to sync 2 virtually identical audio tracks?

Thanks for the WAV file tip. I zoom in as far as I can (unless I'm missing something) and I rarely see the waveform. The attached graphic shows one of the tracks as a very "low resolution" waveform (I see no way to accurately line up tracks using this waveform). I hoped to use "detect beats" on both tracks to, at least, get close. Is there a way to expand the waveforms vertically so I can actually see the waves and align them? I'm trying to align Audio 1 and Audio 2. This is what I see:

Lock up and attempted restart on recent recordings

Recordings made since about 10 days ago are giving me problems. They will lose sound about 1 second before freezing. After about 1 minute the vbox than tries to restart itself, but the restart screen just flickers every 10 seconds like it's recycling. It never gets any where with the restart, I have to pull the power. Restarts ok when power is restored.
The freeze points are repeatable. I can try playing a recording again and it will freeze at the same frame. I can fast forward and backward past the freeze point as long as I do so before it locks up. There are also multiple freeze points in recordings. The freeze points in the recordings are not at set times or lengths, just appear random.
Watching live is ok. Signal strength looks the same as it ever did. Older recordings play back without any problem. I've got two other PVRs and have made simultaneous recordings on all three as a test; the vbox has problems, the other two don't even show a flicker.
Anyone got any ideas. I think the vbox is going faulty. Can't recall exactly how long I've had the vbox but it's over 18 months or so and it's worked nigh on perfectly all the time.
Thanks,
mark

Lock up on recordings

Anyone else had a problem with the Humax YouView box locking up when recording since the last update? It's difficult to reproduce the exact circumstances which cause the problem, but it always seems to occur when a second recording starts when there is one already recording. The current programme on the TV still displays, but the sound mutes and the remote control becomes totally unresponsive. The only way to get the box to do anything is to press the blue centre power on/off button on the box, and restart it. Even then the box sometimes still shows a recording is in progress (by the front panel display) but going to the YouView menu shows no recording in progress. Eventually the record indicator on the box disappears and all is back to normal..... until the next time. I have noticed that it is possible to record two channels at once and view another channel, as long as the three channels are contained within up to two multiplexes, could this be confusing the box?
I've also had a problem with the BT Vision player, (the BBC Iplayer works perfectly). Although the menus show correctly, none of the films will run, all that happens is a kaleidoscope of pixelations and perhaps a brief burst of garbled sound. Sometimes when I close the player and return to live TV, I get a few seconds of the programme and then the screen goes blank, and changing channel repeats the same effect. I have to turn off the box and restart to get back to normal. I had the same problem when I first got the box about six months ago, and although the helpdesk went through all the usual solutions, they couldn't solve the problem, and escalated it to technical support. Of course, sods law applied, and the day they contacted me the problem disappeared.... until a few days ago. I didn't feel like going through the same rigmarole again, so after perusing the YouView website I girded my loins and did a "full maintenance Mode Recovery". This seems to have miraculously cured all the problems, at least for now. Beware that if you do this, although you can keep all your recordings (depending on which option you choose), you will have to basically do a complete re-install from scratch.

Yes, I get that sometimes. It affects all players except BBC Iplayer but powering off for a minute and rebooting normally fixes things. It seems to happen immediately after upgrades. I'm on my second YouView box after my first one had to be replaced and it didn't happen on box 1 but does on this new one.

Lost Beats Audio Control Panel, Windows Experience Index and HP Power Manager on fresh install...

HP Pavilion m6-1035dx, product B5S06UA#ABA
Please help! I installed a 240gb SanDisk Extreme SSD and a fresh install of Win 7 home premium 64-bit OEM. I did not reinstall the factory OS and all that goes along with it. I have managed to reinstall all drivers (it seems) but am having the following problems: 1) I have installed IDT HD Audio Driver sp56953 but it does not provide the Beats Audio control panel, any idea how to get it? 2) The Windows Experience Index will not provide a performance evaluation, something in the system is providing it with an error message when it attempts to rate the system and it stops. 3) I have installed HP Power Manager sp57398 and can bring up the control panel but the changes I indicate will not stay applied, when I bring up Power Manager again it show that no selections are made. I knew this fresh install was going to provide headaches, please help if you can. Thanks.

I suspect this may all be related to a common cause.
When updating the windows experience index, what is the error message you receive?
Has the video card driver been installed? It is necessary for the windows experience index to complete.
Also, ensure the HP Software Framework is installed. It is under the Software Solutions category.
You did a clean install of Windows 7. Has all the software and drivers for Windows 7 from HP been installed? Here is a link should you need it.
