Sountrack or Logic/Logic Express for Voice Over work?

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

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,
Bruce

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,

Sound capture hardware/software for voice over work

Sorry if this is a little off topic,
Environment: Production Premium CS3 (Windows)
I'm doing voice over audio capture for web videos. Currently, I use Soundbooth or the sound card software (Creative Labs) to capture.
1. What is the best mic setup? I use a $30 headset boom mic. Is there a better way? I would rather record clean than spend time trying to clean up the audio. Any links to tutorials on setting up an audio studio?
2. Should I use Soundbooth to capture?
thanks for any ideas,
fred

I use a $50 headset. I use Sb to capture VO audio. I also use Sb to clean up the audio.
If your room is fairly quiet or if the background noise is constant, then you can clean up the audio in Sb quickly. No need to go to the expense and trouble of creating a studio.
The trick is to capture 15-30 seconds (sometimes you can get away with less) of "silence" in the room so that you can use it as a noise print for the NR tool in Sb.
I've had good success using about 75%-80% for the amount of reduction.

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.

External recording indication for voice over recording

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.

The overall settings for VoiceOver is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.

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.

GarageBand for voice-overs/production

Hi all. I currently use ProTools to do voice-over work and audio production at home, and I'm just curious as to how well GarageBand measures up in this area. ProTools is fine, but keeping up with the upgrades and new plug-ins gets expensive...and annoying. I'm wondering if I can achieve the same results with GarageBand, and make my life a little easier. I'd love to get thoughts from anyone who uses it in a professional capacity.
iMac 5.1 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Good to know , but I'm curious to hear in what capacity people use GarageBand. Unless of course no one reading this uses it for work related projects. Either way, I'll be playing around with it to see how well it measures up.
Thanks!

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.

Lots of existing threads, but no consistent answer - what settings need to be applied to the 2012 (new) Airport Express for it to work at hotels with an ethernet only connection? Any answers specific to Japan would be helpful.

Lots of existing threads, but no consistent answer - what settings need to be applied to the 2012 (new) Airport Express for it to work at hotels with an ethernet only connection? Any answers specific to Japan would be helpful. I would prefer not to take my old Dell laptop and just be able to use my Ipad 2 via the wireless connection that the Airport Express creates. However, I can configure the Airport Express at home prior to leaving if that is the best thing to do.

I have a very similar problem with my AE! My MacBook, MacBook Pro & iPod Touch (1st Generation) all get a GREAT signal from our AE. BUT, our iPod Touch (2nd Generation) and new iPad (WiFi) get terrible signal strength unless we're right next to the AE!! Tech support at Apple is of no help! I'm ready to sell them all! This all started when we got the last OS update for iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad. So it must be a software issue not a hardware one..
Any ideas?

In the alternative node conditions   use like this

   AND WA_EKKO-BSART EQ 'ZSTO'
   OR WA_EKKO-BSART EQ 'ZIMP'
   OR WA_EKKO-BSART EQ 'ZSER'

For this    in the alternative node conditions
WA_EKKO-BSTYP = 'F'

OR (By clicking the insert OR in the icons in the top )
WA_EKKO-BSART EQ 'ZIMP'
OR
WA_EKKO-BSART EQ 'ZSER'
OR
WA_EKKO-BSART EQ '    '
Let me know if any concerns.......

= 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.
