Sountrack or Logic/Logic Express for voice over recording?

Hello,
I am wondering which software is best for voice over work? Sountrack or Logic/Logic Express?
Any input would be great. I would add the standard effects/filters to certain voice overs and add sound effects and music.
I have a midi/guitar and garage band is enough for me. I would not want to use Garageband as my software of choice for voice over work. I want markers and other more advanced tools?
Thanks,
Erik

Thanks for the answer.
I was looking at the Dialogue Tools in Sountrack and they appear to be perfect.
My main questrion is can record into Sountrack with a mic right? I have an m-audio saphire with a m-audio preamp.
I saw a demo of Soundtrack at NAB and all the effects looked perfect for voice over. I think Logic Studio is overkill but Sountrack and Logic Express( for my guitar) might be a perfect 1-2 punch. I will get Sountrack with The Final Cut Studio as I need video tools as well.
Thanks,
Erik

Hi Erik,
I haven't used Logic or Logic Express, but I recently switched from Pro Tools to Soundtrack Pro 2. (I'm an independent producer/host for 2 weekly shows on Connecticut Public Radio.)
All I can say is this-- Soundtrack Pro has shaved hours off my Pro Tools workflow, is much more intuitive, and is (obviously) Mac-friendly, so I've been singing its praises ever since I made the switch.
In fact, I think Apple should be marketing it directly to radio stations!
Hope this helps,

External recording indication for voice over recording

hi,
i'm wondering if there is any way to get recording indication for voice over recording out of final cut pro or soundtrack pro. i need to get the 'on air' signalization to the speaker room which is not the same as editing room.
i'm looking for something like

which i'm used to use with protools. does anybody have any idea?
thanks for help

How about a switch you throw to turn on a recording light in the booth? I think less tech here is likely better.

ADAT into Logic Express, VERY low signals recorded

I tried Garageband, same problem, so now I am trying Logic Express.
When transferring tracks from an ADAT, through Alesis io/14, into Logic, the resulting sound files captured are VERY low signal. This should be a digitally ACCURATE TRANSFER. The Alesis montoring software on the mac senses the correct signal, the signal meters show correct levels (and sounds great), but Logic hears and records very low signals.
I note the Sound midi pref window only shows 6 channel 32 bit. It won't allow me to change to 8 channel 16 bit. Possible problem or am I chasing ghosts? I exhausted all my ideas.
Any thoughts?

Discovering I was unable to import a ".au" file into Logic Express (or Garage Band) I read it into Sound Studio and exported it in a variety of formats. I can now successfully drag to Garage Band files in formats .aif .aifc .sd2 and .wav and get the expected result.
Unfortunately however, I only get the expected result importing these into Logic Express for the .aifc format which plays back at the expected speed with a low-pitched sound (but which doesn't display an uncompressed waveform). Importing the .aif .sd2 or .wav format files however results in the imported file being squeezed into a very short duration with a correspondingly undesirable very high pitch.
Is there some setting or magic incantation I need for reading in audio files to Logic Express without it getting squeezed?
Thanks!

Yes. you need to ascend to level 5 before we give that secret incantation.
Really, you need to use a third party converter software, if you are going to use .au files.
Logic is happiest with .aiff, .wav files, but not much else.

Config 2811 with NM-HDV-2E1-60 module for Voice over IP

Hi,
How should I config 2811 with NM-HDV-2E1-60 for voice over IP?
Which IOS I should use?
I can't define "Controller e1".
Can any one send me a configuration example file?
Tanx

Can you provide more info?
How are you trying to use this? Are you going to use this router as a CallManager express or in conjunction with CallManager server?
Can you provide a sh ver and sh run and a sh diag from your router? Do you have a design document of the set up that you have in mind?
Also please note that if you want to change the feature set of IOS that comes with the router, you need to purchase the software from Cisco, as you need to be able to upgrade to another IOS. This upgrade is not free.
Looking forward to hear more about your set up to be able to help you.

GB vs Sound Studio 3 for Voice over

I had some experience with Sound Forge on the PC side. I need a flexible editor for professional voice over recording and editing...giving me ability to record, edit from multiple takes on a single track, listen closely (and possibly loop small chunks of audio), edit words closely, take out breaths, etc. Anyone with some experience in these matters steer me to Garageband or Sound Studio 3 as rtgew best choice?. I do not seem to have as much control over the placement and control of the cursor with GB.... I seem to be chasing it all over the waveform. But then again, maybe its my own techno-moronity. Please help me, my-smarter-than-I-am-on-these-things friends!
MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Your help is gushingly appreciated.
You're quite welcome, always happy help out a fellow NEer
I have not used version 5 of Peak, but I've been using older versions for, hmmm, maybe 5 years. I'm not particularly fond of Bias software's tech support, however the software is really good, and I've put many hours into it and achieved great results.
Still, don't over look the free options. Lots of people like Audacity, and since it's free, I'd suggest trying it. Then if you don't find it works for you, try something else.
Good luck --HangTime [Will Compute for FOod] %-|>

Satellite A200-27R Integrated microphone for Voice over IP

The product description (see excerpt below) for a Satellite A200-27R states that the A200-27R has an Integrated microphone for Voice over IP. I have not been able to access this(e.g. with Skype, Live Messenger, Control Panel) nor is there any sign of it externally on the computer. The Control Panel > Sound > Recording tab says Microphone Realtek High Definition Audio not plugged in.
How do I set up and use the Integrated microphone for voice over IP?

integrated microphone for Voice over IP

Hi
The built-in microphone depends on the webcam.
As far as I know the Satellite A200-27R PSAE3E was not equipped with internal webcam and therefore the internal mic is not available.
Try to use an external headset with mic or only the single mic.

Microphone for voice over.

My standalone isight that I have used for voice overs has finally given up. (I'd developed a technique whereby I held the lens to my chin and pointed the isight down at about 45 degrees-but I digress) can anyone recommend a reasonable alternative, around $100 would be reasonable, I'm no pro but it has to be a reasonable quality.
I've bought and tried a microphone a day now for about a week and none match up to my experience with my old isight. I'd prefer one that needs to be close to the source sound so as background noise is not a huge problem and I'd also prefer it to be USB or firewire, I need to take on the guise of a ferret to get to the back of my mac.

I tried the logitech one from the  store, it didn't have the same quality as the isight but I could have lived with that I suppose as it wasn't as bad as some of the others I've tried. I don't know whether I got a faulty one, I don't think I did, because it seemed to work with Quicktime excepting the quality issue, but when I used it with FCE, it was awful.
Not sure if FCE has its own background noise cancelling feature that interfered with the background noise cancelling feature of the logitech but it was way to quiet 90% of the time and when it wasn't it was too loud, there was no middle ground. Overall too quiet, with odd words that were obviously said a little louder being clipped.

Garage Band for voice over

I would like to use garage band for Voice Over auditions. Would it be best to use "Create a Song" setting or "Podcast" to do this kind of work? Thank You in advance.

Use of inline external mike for voice overs

Hand held microphones have insufficient volume for voice overs. Was told to buy the iMic. It does not help. Would a condenser mike, or a mixer give me amplification? The built in mike does not pick up female voices, etc.

The iMic should work OK ..it's essentially a USB input amplifier to let you plug in other audio input devices, such as any variety of mics.
Another mic on its own would not normally have sufficient power to give reasonable audio into your Mac, and a mixer would not be as efficient as an iMic (..or other USB input device). A condenser would generally be way too underpowered without an 'iMic' to boost it.
The early iVoice - similar to an iMic - didn't properly separate its own mic's audio from any other audio coming in through its little 3.5mm input socket, so I opened up mine and snipped the wire which connects them, so that it would use only its external mic socket ..and then plugged other mics into that. The more recent iVoice II works OK.
When you've attached one of these USB audio input devices, check your System Preferences>Sound, click on the 'Input' tab, and make sure that the USB device is selected and is working properly.

New voice-over recording workflow?

I just dug up what's new in the update I just installed, and I'm not seeing the expected "Voice-over Record button" after following the described steps. Am I missing something?
Premiere Pro says it's up to date, and I was able to expore the other new features without any problems. CC Version 7.2.0 (46)

Hi TeeKayCC,
Please check the forums thread below which has the same discussion. Hope it helps.

No voice-over recording when exporting to Quick Time

I made a presentation in Keynote 4.0.3 with soundtrack and voice-over recording but when I export to Quick Time movie I can only hear the soundtrack. (The include slideshow recording box was checked). Can anyone help me?

Hello Ian:
Welcome to discussions!
is your exernal drive formatted Mac OS X Extended? it should be.
Try using Apple's Disk Utility to format the drive. However, when you reformat you will lose all files on the external drive in the process.

= is assignment. == is equality comparison. You had that right in your previous post.
Also, the || operator doesn't work the way you think it does. Make it
if (Grade == 'A' || Grade == 'a')

Logic Express for podcasting?

Hi all,
I'm really new to the podcasting thing and am trying to research podcasting software for my workplace. They're getting a Mac Pro and obviously it'll have Garageband but they want another step up. How is Express for podcast editing? My workplace will mostly be creating interview podcasts, possibly some videopodcasts down the line and maybe some audio slide shows.
Does anyone know if it enables users to create the XML feed, RSS feeds easily? I'm also looking into Adobe Soundbooth and would do iPodcast Producer but it is PC-only.
Any suggestions are welcomed.

I'm new to logic Express but Garageband is pretty good for podcast and easy enough for anyone to use. You may want to give it a look first.
