Soundbooth CS4 Beta Install

I am having trouble getting Flash CS4 and Soundbooth CS4 to both be installed at the same time. I first installed Soundbooth, which went in smooth, followed by attempting to install Flash, which told me that I had to uninstall DynamicLink Support before I can install Flash. I did some research and found out that Soundbooth requires DynamicLink Support, so I decided to uninstall Soundbooth, then install Flash, which did not mention that it uses DynamicLink Support. Flash did however install smoothly. I then proceeded to install Soundbooth which then told me that I had to uninstall DynamicLink Support before I can install Soundbooth. What confuses me is if Soundbooth needs DynamicLink Support, then why is it having me uninstall it?
Any suggestions on how I can get them both to be installed?
Regards,
Mike W.
Edit: Now When I run the Soundbooth CS4 setup it is telling me that the "Session has dependencies that cannot be satisfied."

Hi Mike,
Are you referring to the public beta release of Soundbooth CS4, or are you on the internal pre-release testing teams for these applications? While I urge you to post these questions to the pre-release forums rather than this public forum for Soundbooth CS3, I can tell you that different beta builds of the CS4 applications will definitely have incompatibilities with regards to DynamicLink support and that there were definitely periods where some applications would fail to install because another application had already installed a different build of DynamicLink.

Delayed playback in Soundbooth CS4

I'm using Soundbooth (CS4) on a Windows XP machine. Editing in single track mode is fine. I'm working on a large multitrack project with about 90 small files associated with the ASND file. Ultimatley, I'm creating a one hour radio documentary and I will be adding all my voice tracks to this mix.
When I press the space bar or click the "play" button I wait up to 5 seconds before playback actually begins. This happens even if I have just booted up my computer and I have no other applications running. I have shut down my automatic back-up to free up system resources, but the problem persists.
What should I try next? Is there some other/better way to build a large audio project?
Thanks,
Amy

_durin_-->I've read countless threads on this forum where your expertise in Soundbooth have helped innumerable frustrated Adobe patrons. You're a talented problem solver and I thank you for recommendations. However, those files don't exist on my computer--either visible or hidden. I've checked.
Here is how I solved my problem and regained the power of Premiere and Soundbooth CS4 for my MacBook Pro that recently had a new hard drive installed.
I went to the Apple store and inquired about some issues with permissions. The only option they could offer me was to run a Disk Utility unit on my new hard drive to check for conflicting permissions. After ten minutes of investigation, no conflicts found, and a restart I opened both Premiere and Soundbooth CS4. To my surprise I could import and playback audio and video just fine.
This was two days ago and I have yet to encounter the problem since then.
A success with a different solution to this persistent and troublesome problem.

Soundbooth CS4 audio to Captivate 4

I’m trying to create recordings in Soundbooth CS4 and import them into Captivate 4 and am unable to do so. I realize that I can save the files as mp3’s (this import DOES work within Captivate), but that requires an extra step that really makes the process cumbersome, especially when dealing with a number files.
This is the first time I’m using Soundbooth with Captivate 4. I’ve never had this problem using Audacity and Captivate 3. I understand that Captivate 4 is supposed to import .wav’s, but I keep getting the “unable to decode and import” error. I’ve scoured these forums for answers and tried the following to no avail:
Soundbooth Settings
SOUNDMAX HD Soundcard in Windows XP Professional (service pack 3)
Recording at 44.1 kHz 16 bit MONO
All metadata settings turned OFF
Captivate Patches
I’ve installed the updates for Captivate CS4
I’ve downloaded and installed the NSAudio.dll and registered it by running “regsvr32 NSAudio.dll”.
Any further suggestions for remedying this problem will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi there
Have you tried exporting as WAV and reimporting? Perhaps a WAV would provide different or better results.
I do recall there was an issue that emerged with Captivate 4 (drawing from memory here) where there were audio issues. See if the link below helps.

How do I convert a .cda to .wav in Soundbooth CS4?

I have just installed the Premiere CS4 production suite which includes Soundbooth CS4 v 2.0.1.
With earlier versions of this suite (Premiere and Audition rather than Soundbooth), I could open .CDA (music cd) files in Audition and convert them to .WAV files and then import these into Premiere. It was a frustrating two step process, but at least it worked.
Now, with the CS4 suite, it is not letting me import any .CDA files (error message says the file format is not supported) to either Audition or Premiere. I even tried going through Encoder, but that doesn't work either.
How in the world are we supposed to bring in music from a CD? This should have been resolved so we don't have to go through the Soundbooth step. But now it won't even let me do that! Adobe sure is turning out to be very frustrating!!

If not you need to trace it either automatically or manually

DLL files not supported on soundbooth CS4

Hi there, I use soundbooth CS4 and downloaded some plugins, After the plugins are downloaded i open the downloads folder on my computer there is the plugin and a read me file. i click on the plugin and soundbooth opens. but when its done loading i get a failure notice reading that the plugin i cliked witch is a DLL file is not supported. I tryed everything to get it to work but it seems that the DLL files wont work. please help:)

Hi Andrew,
It definitely sounds as if the installation did not complete for Premiere and Soundbooth. My first recommendation would be to run the installer again, and let it reinstall PPro and Soundbooth. (Don't worry, you shouldn't need to run through the ENTIRE installation process again. I share your unspoken pain on how long that process can take.)
If that fails, we can continue troubleshooting, though I'd highly recommend calling Technical Support as they are much better at detecting installation issues than I am able to offer here. Both applications should work exceptionally well on your system.

Soundbooth CS4 MacBook Line In Recording Issue

I have looked through all the forums and not found a working solution to my problem.
After recent complete re-install of both OS X and my entire Adobe Suite, I am no longer able to record in SouthBooth using the Line In option.
It ALWAYS continues to record the built in microphone.
I have gone into the OS X Preferences and set Line In as Input Device and it detects and responds just fine.
In SoundBooth I open the Preferences and select the Line In option as well and designate it in the recording pop up window too. But still, it records the built in microphone.
It didn't do this before. Everything used to work properly. So I am curious if something went foul when installing SoundBooth and if I should re-install it? Or is there a known update / patch that addresses recording issues?
I'm running OS X 10.6.8 and SoundBooth CS4 2.0.1
Thanks for any help you all have!
Jeremy

try muting the built in mic.

Soundbooth CS4 - does it include Adobe Media Encoder

Hi there,
i am especially interested in Adobe Media Encoder, to setup an encoding workstation.
My question is, if Adobe Media Encoder is bundled with Soundbooth CS4, and if it is available as a standalone program or if AME can only be opened through Soundbooth directly.
I would be happy if someone can give me an answer to this. AME doesnt seem to be available as a standalone purchase in the Adobe Store.
Kind Regards,
Sascha

Hi Sascha,
Adobe Media Encoder is bundled with Soundbooth, but is only available from within Soundbooth when saving files. It is available as a stand-alone application when installed with Premiere Pro CS4, but I'm not aware of any plans to sell it as an individual product.

Soundbooth CS4 - Blue Screens Windows 7

I would like to ask for an update on when Soundbooth CS4 will formally support Windows 7 operating system. Since Windows 7 is coming out officially for the public this week on 10/22/2009 I am really hoping formal support is not far behind.
The problems I and other colleagues have experienced is that SoundBooth CS4 will randomly crash (Actually blue screen the whole OS) on various drivers including wireless drivers as I blogged about it (see below).
Thanks! Look forward on enjoying this product on Windows 7.

The procedure you recommended did not work in Win7. In frustration created a clean Win XP (SP3) in a virtual machine and managed to install & activate CS4. It is not as ideal solution, but I can move on. I am still interested in any advice on how to get CS4 working in Win7 (64-bit), but thanks a lot for your help. Merry Christmas!

Soundbooth CS4 released!

Hi everyone,
I wanted to let everyone know that Soundbooth CS4 has been released! We're very proud of the improvements and new features that have gone into this release, and want to thank our pre-release testers and public beta users who offered advice, suggestions, complaints, and feedback along the way.
There is a whole heck of a lot of new stuff, so I'll mention a few of the big items, and encourage everyone to download the 30-day trial when it's available in the next few days.
* Multitrack Editing: Create unlimited tracks to layout your audio composition, add multiple music scores, synchronize to video, and more! Our integrated clip editor lets you edit your clips right from the timeline.
* Volume keyframing: Adjust volume levels and changes to your clips quickly and easily.
* Adobe Sound Document format: save your work in a single document, save snapshots of various states or mixes, and insert into your Premiere, After Effects, or Flash projects while still retaining the ability to make further changes in Soundbooth.
* Automatic Volume Correction: Make all of your audio clips the same relative volume level, or equalize the volume levels of a single file.
* Speech Transcription and Search: Our Speech Recognition engine can transcribe your audio files and save the text as metadata or in Flash Cue Point format. Quickly search for keywords and jump right to them in your audio or video.
* Improved Scores workflow: It is now much easier to use Soundbooth Scores to add dynamic, customizable music and ambience tracks to your projects.
* MP3 Compression Preview: No more guessing how your MP3 will sound at different compression levels. An integrated Compression Preview tool lets you sample the output at any compression level, and get the best quality at the lowest file size.
* DynamicLink support: Now you can easily share clips with After Effects and Premiere Pro, sharing edits between applications without needing to render.
There's a lot more happening, so I hope everyone gets a chance to check it out. The free trial version should be available soon, I'll post here when it's up and ready, and I hope you enjoy Soundbooth!

Sounds like a huge step forward, Durin, with some very novel features - nice one!

Soundbooth CS4 Installation Problem

I recently purchased a copy of Soundbooth CS4, which I just tried to install. When I loaded the disc and the installation screen came up, I clicked on the install Aodbe Soundbooth button and waited several minutes and nothing happened. I checked the Task Manager and the setup process was indeed running.
I ended the process and tried to run the setup several times manually by going to the Start up menu ... choosing run and navigating to Setup.exe from the disc and still the same problem.
I am running Windows XP Media Center Edition ... Service Pack 3. Please help!!! I need to use this software on a project right away.

Well, there's a few things we can check that might help figure out where it's failing.
If you open Windows Explorer/My Computer and navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\ then you should hopefully see at least one, possibly several, compressed log files named something like "Adobe Soundbooth CS4 2 07-08-2009.log.gz"
If you do see one, please e-mail it as an attachment to [email protected] and I'll see if I can find any obvious reason for the failure. We can continue troubleshooting from there.

Soundbooth CS4 Mac Crashes on Input Device

I'm running Soundbooth CS4 on Snow Leopard and can't seem to record anything. When I hit the record button and change my input setting to my line in microphone, Soundbooth crashes. It does the same thing when I try to change it under Audio Device preferences. It crashes regardless of the input device that I try and change it to. I've uninstalled and reinstalled but nothing seems to work. I've installed and uninstalled, updated. Otherwise the program works fine.
Help?

While this bug was fixed prior to release for Windows, I'm surprised to see it on a Mac system. It had to do with the Users or Documents folder being assigned to a drive or network path that was not accessible - the network was down or the drive was disconnected, for example. Is your user account assigned to redirect the Documents path to a network or external drive?

Soundbooth CS4 osx crashes on startup

I've just installed trial version of Soundbooth CS4 to Macbook pro, osx leopard. I have also CS3 web premium suite installed. Each time I try to start soundbooth cs4 (also with shift key pressed) I get weird error message and soundbooth terminates with Adobe Crash Report. On sidenote the same happens with CS4 Premiere Pro trial. Any hints, couldn't find anything by search?
No Client Name has encountered an error.

Soundbooth CS4 only plays a short period

Soundbooth CS4 only plays about half a second of all files and then stops playing.
I have a 2.2 GHz macbook with 4 gb of ram.

Ok. I checked the source code and that error and line references a failed attempt to load the audio device due to an incorrect device ID. I suspect that upgrading to Snow Leopard changed some audio device information that Soundbooth is still trying to use from the original 10.5 installation.
So try the following steps and let's see if they help reset everything.
1. Open Finder, click on your username under "PLACES" then selection Library > Preferences > Adobe > Soundbooth and rename the "2.0" folder to 2.0Backup" Launch Soundbooth. This should force it to rebuild the preference files to their default state, and SHOULD reset any parameters to use any new values common to Snow Leopard.
2. If #1 fails, it may be time to uninstall and reinstall Soundbooth, making certain to enable any options on uninstall to remove all preferences. I am always hesitant to recommend this since it feels defeated and I am only too well aware of how slow the CS4 installer is, but the error you've described indicates there's just some leftover information from the previous OS X install that Soundbooth isn't able to reconcile.
Please let me know your results and we can move on from there. In the meantime, I'll write a bug and see if one of our devs might have any suggestions should the above attempts fail to make a difference.

Playback problems in Soundbooth CS4 for Mac

I've seen this posted an number of times with a number of solutions. Trust me, I've tried everything that Adobe and, you, my fellow Adobe users have recommended.
My problem: the playback function in Soundbooth (and Premiere) plays for a second, then returns to the initial position.
Recommendations I've tried:
• Use the admin to set new permissions for the program.--> I'm the only person using my laptop, and the only admin. Didn't work.
• Opened Soundbooth>Preferences...>Audio Hardware>Select I/O as default.-->Yes, I kept getting that error message too, and the same when I selected an input.
• Your_HD>Library>Preferences>com.apple.audioAggregate... & whatever else.plist-->Neither of these files exist on my computer. I've looked everywhere including the contents of hidden files. Every XML document I opened in Textmate to see if they're coded for Soundbooth audio. Nothing!
• Uninstalled/reinstalled-->That didn't work! Even ran a code to delete all my Norton anti-virus peripherals to ensure there wasn't a conflict during install.
The only catch: Last week Soundbooth and Premiere CS4 worked fine. Friday my HD crashed and I had it replaced through Apple Care Protection. I was completely up on all my downloads and software upgrades, including OS 10.6.3. which, like most of you, I've found major incompatibility issues too. Monday I did the reinstall of everything, and now these programs don't work.
I'm exhausted and looking for any new solutions because these programs are essential to what I specialize in.

Can't uninstall dreamweamweaver cs4 beta

I can't uninstall dreamweamweaver cs4 beta so i can't install
the full version. When i tell it to uninstall it doesn't do
anything even though the setup.exe process is running. I tried
manually deleting the program files but there's still traces of it
because when I try installing the new version it says i have to
uninstall the Beta. What can i do?

We do that for production machines. What Adobe suites do to
Window's
registry is not very good (similar problems exist with Mac's
application
cache). Aside from bloat, there is no logical cleanup so you
invariably wind
up with niggling problems such as the wrong version of
Fireworks popping up
at the wrong time - or no version popping up at all. Since
our gallery
products rely on inter-application communications, this is a
nuisance. There
are other issues, but this one hits home (as well as our
customers), hence
tech notes like this:
http://www.projectseven.com/support/answers.asp?id=194
We also keep "dirty" machines on which are installed MX2004,
8, CS3, and now
CS4. Those are fun, but it helps in developing fixes for our
customers.
