Stereo audio when using video camera?  Any way to do this?

Is there any way to record in stereo (2 mics) when recording video with the onboard camera? Can the 30-pin connector receive a stereo signal when videoing?  (iPad3, iOS 7)

I figured it out myself so thought I'd share this for anyone else who wants to record video with the audio portion in stereo, you can do this using Sonoma Wireworks' GuitarJack2 in conjunction with a mixer.  Keep in mind this isn't a portable solution at all but the resulting audio is excellent, especially in headphones so this is great for doing a video of yourself singing and playing guitar (for example) and you want to capture a good stereo audio signal.  Basically, the way is works is you plug your two mics (we're talking recording style microphones with the XLR connectors) into your mixer of choice.  You then run a line out of the mixer into the 1/8" audio input jack of the GuitarJack 2 (it's a stereo line-in) and the 30-pin connector goes into your iPhone/iPad.  There are a couple of settings you have to make with the software for the GuitarJack but once you've done that, you can then make some videos with terrific stereo sound.  You monitor the audio via the headphone jack of your mixer.  If anyone knows an easier way to do the same thing, please let me know but this is the only way I've found.

  • When using video camera on iPad 3 screen keeps going in and out of focus

    Every time I use my video camera the image goes in and out of focus making the blurry there seems to be no settings to stop this help.

    At this point, I would go for reset to its factory default condition, using the iTunes program to get a clean system install. That way you'll clean everything out and just have it set up the way it would come from the factory. You'll need to do your backup (on the iTunes program too) and be sure you understand which stuff will be saved and which will not (from the links below). Also turn off any anti-virus program you may have on your desktop. Then when you reset it to the factory default condition, don't restore your backup just yet ... until you check it out without your data put back on it. Verify its operation first, to make sure that you know it's okay. Hopefully everything is okay at that point, otherwise you'll have to take it into Apple to check it out for any hardware failure.

  • No Audio When using Video Out to Firewire

    I do not get any audio when I use Firewire ntsc as my video out. When I set video out to canvas playback then I get audio. I want to use print to video but I cannot because the audio will not work with Firewire. I get the image on my external monitor but not the audio. I checked to make sure and the audio was not on the recorded dvd. I cannot not use print to video with canvas playback.
    My Easy Setup is Format: NTSC, Use DV NTSC DV Converter. I tried using Firewire basic and got the same results.
    Please Help
    Ken

    The audio does not play at all from the timeline if video out is set to Firewire. To answer your question, no the audio does not play in the external monitor when playing back from the timeline when Canvas is used as the video out. However, I don't believe the converter box is the problem. The audio would play in the internal speakers when using firewire as video out but it does not.

  • After Upgrading to 10.1, all clips have lost the audio component.  Is there any way to get this back?

    I have recently updated Final Cut Pro to 10.1, after this upgrade (as well as an upgrade to Maverick) non of the video clips in ANY event or project have any sound component.  I have a backup of the project and event files before the upgrade, but I have no idea how I can get the clips back and if I do how I can update the numerous projects I have that no longer have sound.  Has anyone else had this problem, if so were you able to fix this?  Or am I just doing something wrong?
    The clips have no wave form when I look at them so it's almost like they have been stripped of sound.  If I goto the event browser and say reveal in finder, I am taken to Original Media, but these are tiny files that can't be played in VLC - they almost look like shortcuts or dynamic links or something...
    Can anyone help me get the adio back on these or should I revert back to a previous time machine backup and not update to 10.1?
    Thanks
    Richard

    Not sure what made the files lose the audio, but the solution for my issue was:
    In Final Cut, right click on a clip in the event viewer, Reveal in Finder
    Close Final Cut Pro
    Export orginal clips from Aperture.
    Copy exports into folder that the original meda was in, replace all
    Open up Final Cut Pro
    Load project again, it will start analysing the audio...

    Concerning: VGA monitors using an Aluminum Powerbook G4 PowerPC 2004 15"-screen 1.5Ghz
    The DVI (converted to VGA) video output stopped working on this computer after 9 years of service. This raises question 1:
    Is there any way of fixing this? I've tried the usual: triple checked all vga cables & devices through trial & error. Bought a new DVI-VGA adapter. Reset PRAM, PMU, etc. Nothing works. Something is probably damaged, because my KVM switch was not working unless I hot-reseated the vga cable into it, leading to this DVI port, and that is pretty rough stuff.
    Question 2 (related):
    This dovetails into this: Can I drive a VGA monitor with the s-video output port on this computer. It would take an s-video (male)-to-15-pin-VGA adapter. Has anyone does this? So far, I haven't even found the adapter mentioned anywhere.
    Thanks for reading this.

    Thanks for the useful feedback, Knucklesmac. I agree. I must have blown something on the logic board -- because I had a faulty old KVM switch that would not switch between computers without some nasty hot-plugging/unplugging the VGA video cables. (wince!). It's like when Dizzy Dean ruined his arm because a line drive hit him in the foot and he readjusted his mechanics around the injury. I take the blame because this has been a great computer, and does not deserve any blame.
    If it will help anyone else reading this thread, C2G (née Cables to Go) has some interesting ideas for still getting external video out of this computer:
    -USB-to-VGA
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product/30545
    -Convert s-video or composite video signals to high resolution VGA
    http://www.cablestogo.com/product/40971
    The price range is $75-$85, which doesn't make horse sense to me for such an old computer -- which has a lot of life in it anyway, because its own 15" monitor is not chopped liver.

  • I get sound no video when using AirPlay.  Any ideas?

    I get sound no video when using AirPlay.  Any ideas?

    Do you get an "HDCP error"?
    Since the last ATV software update, I have had  problems playing You Tube content from the iPad to the ATV using airplay, yet the same content from the You Tube channel on the ATV plays fine. I get the dreaded "HDCP error" which is nonsense, as YouTube content does not have this protection. Netflix also gives the same error. (I have posted seperately about this problem.)
    I have had a couple of years of fault-free playing with my setup, the only thing that has changed is the Apple ATV software. Ergo, they need to fix whatever bug they introduced. None of the recommended "fixes" have worked.

  • Just switched from safari on my imac. when using search menu safari gave me the option to "find on this page," which was an incredible help while doing research. Is there any way to have this feature using firefox?

    Just switched from safari on my imac. When using search menu in safari I had the option to "find on this page," which was an incredible help while doing research and looking for specific phrases/words. Is there any way to have this feature using firefox?

    I think Safari has the same keyboard shortcut as Firefox "command+F" on a Mac or "Ctrl+F" on Windows.
    Look in the lower left corner for the Find. There are more likely to be differences in Find Next and Find Previous in the keyboard shortcuts, but continuing at the Find bar at the bottom doesn't matter what browser you use. There is an "X" there to dismiss the Find bar. In Windows the "Esc" key will dismiss the bar if you are within the find text entry area.
    Keyboard shortcuts:
    * [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Keyboard%20shortcuts?s=keyboard&r=0&as=s Keyboard shortcuts | How to | Firefox Help], from Mozilla very limited number of shortcuts but will show correctly for your system
    * [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/keyboard.htm Firefox and other Browser Keyboard Shortcuts (Comparison Table)], more comprehensive but is oriented to Windows users with some guidelines for Mac and Linux users.

    Hello Abdo_Zain,
    I would be concerned too if I was not able to gain access to my iPad.  If you are unsure what your Apple ID is, you can find the steps in this article:
    Apple ID: How to find your Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5625
    You can reset a forgotten Apple ID password by going to the following link:
    Apple - iForgot
    https://iforgot.apple.com
    Also, you may be able to skip the step of entering your Apple ID if you are setting up the iPad for the first time.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Sheila M.

  • Iphone 5S IOS8 - quality of  audio when taking video?

    The biggest disappointment with the 5S was the TERRIBLY distorted audio when taking videos of live music or loud events.  The 4S didn't feature the front mic and therefor sound was passing by perpendicular to the mic and it would not be as "hot" of a signal.
    I have not one but two external mice I use when I plan*** on taking video but living in a city with tons of music I am not always prepared with an external mic.  Taking video with IOS7 with the 5S is useless if the audio source is above 85db or so. 
    Can anyone who has upgraded IOS on the 5S confirm that they have corrected the software for the mic sensitivity for a 5S?  My buddy has the 6 and his live videos of music do NOT distort.
    Thanks!

    Hello AudioArchist,
    Does the issue of recording videos still not get any sounds? If so, take a look at the article below to troubleshoot the issue further. Now it may be hard to give the exact reason why that happened, but the article should assist with getting it fixed.

    Front face camera won't work for pictures. But it works perfectly on FaceTime, any way of fixing this?
    When I try and change the camera to face front it acts like it's going to change then kind of freezes and won't let me change back to the back camera for several minutes.
    Any ways of fixing this?

    Try:
    - 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.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
