Trouble Using USB Headset to record on a track in Pr Pro CS4

I just purchased a Logitech ClearChat Wireless Headset and am wishing to use it to record a voiceover on an audio track in the Audio Mixer. CS4 and Mac OS recognizes the headset but the Audio Mixer will not allow me to
enable a track for recording. I receive the error message......
Error message: "The previously selected ASIO driver could not be loaded, and may be in use by another application. The default ASIO driver is now in use."
No other applications are running.........
Does Pr Pro CS4 not like these USB devices?

Bruce--
I had similar trouble. It comes from trying to record from a mono device (your headset) into a stereo track (which is probably what you have, since that is what comes up by default).
Create a mono track. Set your system setting as you did to see your input from the mic.
In Preferences/Audio Hardware, select the system default device.
Now when you enable the track, and press the record button, you should be able to see your levels when you speak.

  • Upon using USB Headsets the audio gets distorted

    Hi
    I have used USB headset in other laptops including HP but have never faced this problem. But I get this problem with the new notebook, and after a few minutes of use the audio quality automatically gets distorted and loud.
    This is not a problem with the USB headsets since I have been using them since long without any problem, and they dont give me any distortion with other notebooks even today.
    Please advise.

    The headset has an independent C-Media audio chip that accepts USB on one side and has it's own AC97/DAC. Because are 2 devices (one USB controller and one AC97 sound chip) apears in 2 places in Windows devices! For more info look here:
    http://www.cmedia.com.tw/?q=en/usb_audio
    CM06-F+/ L+ is a highly integrated single chip USB audio solution. All essential analog modules are embedded in CM06F+/L+, including 8CH DAC and earphone buffer, 2CH ADC, microphone booster, PLL, regulator, and USB transcei'ver.
    I would correct the affirmation made by somebody that USB audio devices are no soundcards - YES there are soundcards with an USB controller instead of the usual PCI one! The digital data flows on USB instead of PCI to the audio controller that send it to the integrated DAC's and to the headsets.
    So trying to use the USB headset via the X-Fi is like you are trying to use the on-board soundcard via the X-Fi...

    how to record a drum track on logic pro

    • What midi interface is it? Do you have a current driver? If everything is alright, GB should say (in the Prefs) "1 midi device detected".
    • Do you have the midi cables connected the right way? Connect the drum machine's midi out with the interface's midi in.

  • Use USB-headset (mic) in Firefox/Flash

    Hello,
    In an Flash application where I need to select a microphone for input, the usb-microphone of my usb-headset isnt there. Is there a way to include it? My analog microphone is full of hum and sounds plain ugly.
    Or even better, can I make firefox use my usbheadset, which is alsadevice 2.0 ? So sound and microphone will be used by FF.
    Thanks in advance

    Yesterday I got an USB headset and had to set it as the default ALSA device and card in order for every application to use it by default.
    I followed this guide to create the needed configuration file for ALSA:

    Hope it can help.

  • L455D Static using USB headset

    My Satellite L455D has very static sound while using a USB headset.  I sent it to Toshiba and it came back doing the same thing.  I use this computer for my job and the customers and I can't understand each other thru all the static and garble.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Thanks

    I am afraid I do not have fix per se. I always had a problem with USB mics on my A350. I never found a resolution, and I gave up looking for one when I was on Vista 64bit. But, the internal mic, and using a mic on the mic/line-in input jack worked fine. So, I resorted to headset with the dual headhone/mic jacks, which gave me no problem.
    In all honesty, I have not retried a USB mic on Windows 7 64bit. Perhaps someone else has a fix. But, given the mix of things here, you should try to reload your latest Toshiba supplied chipset driver (which handles the USB ports) and sound driver. This may or may not fix your problem.
    I chose the path of least resistance.
    If you want to try the drivers, we need more info. You can find your full model number on the Toshiba label on the bottom of your computer, like Satellite L455D-S5976. We need this and your OS version, like Windows 7 32bit, to give you the links to the drivers you should try.

  • What's a good interface to record voice/guitar tracks in Logic Pro

    Hello - could you tell me what would be a good interface to record voice/guitar into a Logic Pro project please?  Thanks.

    re the firmware update - there is talk that this should only be done if you are going to use USB - and also that it needs to be done via Windows.........I am confused re this?
    I don't know about that, I don't own a Phonic, but if you only have to do it for USB, well, then there's no problem and you don't have to do anything, so...
    Also when you say DAW (what does that stand for?
    Digital Audio Workstation; Logic, Cubase, Protools etc are all DAWs. You'll probably encounter this term once in a while...
    I just want to make sure and sorry if i sound silly but I should be able to use Phonic as my interface with Logic Pro without using Cubase?
    Yes.

  • Voice Over Using USB Headset

    Is this even possible? I have upto now been using a dynamic mic through the camera as a preamp - firwire into the VO tool. That works fine but it would be easier to set up the USB Plantronics DSP 500 for the job.....sniffed around the postings but could not find anything on this.
    Checked my settings and tried to record the VO but naddda?? The VO tool recognizes the headset but just scrubs the timeline when I click record.

    Seems like you should be able to do it but the USB audio interface seems to have some strange problems with FCP. I use a Koss headset/mic into a Griffin iMic device. Works great. But the iMic contains a USB-powered preamp.

  • Trouble using USB keyboard with GarageBand

    I have a Yamaha DGX-305 keyboard with a USB out. I want to record the real instrument using GarageBand, rather than using MIDI input. Is this possible? GarageBand isn't recognizing the keyboard when I simply plug it in. I've downloaded what looks to be the appropriate driver form the Yamaha site. It sounds like some keyboards are set up for plug-and-play. Is there a way I can get this to work where GarageBand records the real instrument via USB? Thanks.

    I've downloaded what looks to be the appropriate driver form the Yamaha site.
    But maybe it's not the right one. Is it this one?
    When you go to GB's Audio/Midi prefs, does it detect 0 midi devices or 1?

  • Turning on "record-enabled" audio track in premiere pro 5.5.

    I'm trying to do a simple voice-over in premiere pro 5.5.  I've followed all the instructions given in the tutorials yet I keep getting a prompt saying " You can't record because one of your record-enabled tracks is turned off?  I know i'm missing something simple but can't seem to determine what it could be.  Does anyone know what it might be?

    I think this might help the discussion. I also have auto input monitoring selected. I can also hear the audio when I click the input monitoring button.

  • I use Garageband 09 to record voice overs via podcasting, female narrator noisy, but keep getting an intermittent clicking sound. It's not the metronome. I have a good quality external USB mic plugged in. Any ideas?

    I use GarageBand 09 to record voice overs via the Podcasting then Female Narrator Noisy utility. I have a good quality external mic plugged in. I keep getting an intermittent clicking sound on the audio track. It's not the metronome as that is turned off. I have to edit out the clicking after recording. I can see the spikes on the waveline. Any ideas how I can prevent this happening?

    Hi again and thanks so much for replying.
    The 'mic jack' on the old mic is both wide and large, measuring about an inch and a quarter from the base (where it comes out of the black encasing) to the edge of the tip (sort of cone shaped). As I can't plug this in directly to any port in the back of the Mac, I thought it might be possible to to buy some sort of adapter so that I could plug in the jack at one end, with a USB connector at the other end to go straight into the Mac. But I see from your comment that you are suggesting a smaller jack itself (i.e., large size jack to small size jack and then plug in to the small round port, instead of jack to USB port)?
    At the Mac shop I bought a USB adapter to connect up a second monitor (screen). I've just dug out the package and it's called a mini display port to VGA adapter. But back to the mic issue, I don't want to use the old mic really, I'm just trying to eliminate whether or not my usual mic, or its USB cable, is at fault and causing the clicking.
    I looked on Amazon for a suitable adapter but there was mention of these little gadgets having a sound card. As the Mac obviously has its own internal sound card, I couldn't see the point of another (exernal) one, unless it was actually required to convert the sound from input to output (playback) or something. One review said sound quality was lost but the person had a problem with his speakers, not a ticking sound while playing back recordings - which is obviously my problem.
    I do have a headset that I used to use for Skype. It has a pink and a green jack. I could plug one into the "headphones symbol' port and try recording again with Garageband. At least the jack is the right size. Again, this is just for the purpose of eliminating whether my good mic on a stand with the anti-popping sheild is at fault.
    While my Mac does have both inbuilt speakers (I don't need external ones) and an inbuilt microphone, the latter is not of a high enough quality for voice overs, hence buying an external mic etc. But whatever is causing the clicking or ticking is obviously affecting the quality of my recordings. As you can imagine, it is very time-consuming to edit out the ticking spikes and if the noise appears during speech, you can't edit it out at all.
    Please keep the suggestions coming. I am determined to get to the bottom of this for my sake and everyone else who is suffering from the same problem!

  • 50 Hz hum recording from USB headset (UK)

    I have a new 2011 MacMini, with nothing plugged into the microphone input. I am using a Logitech USB Headset for both input and output, which seems to work fine.
    However, when I try to record through a number of applications, including QuickTime Player 7, I get a nice clean low-level 50Hz (UK power) hum.
    Why, if recording through a USB Headset, should I ever encounter 50Hz (60Hz) power hum?
    How do I get rid of it?
    Note: I see the MacMini does *not* have a grounded power input, only a 2-prong power connector...
    *urgent*
    Thanks!
    btw- I have read that DVI connectors or similar can inject hum... But (a) this is a USB audio input and (b) I have tried unplugging my second and first monitors alternately, and hooking them to HDMI and Thunderbolt outputs --- No Change in hum.

    HOLY COW!
    Don't buy Logitech!
    I plugged a cheap webcam into the same USB port; works prefectly, no hum at all.
    The Logitech microphone element or USB parts must be picking up 50Hz hum through the air (radio waves). Yuck!
    If I press the "mute mic" button on the headset cable, the hum goes away... Of course, so does the audio...

    Hi Auracles1,
    Here's a pretty discussion regarding wireless printing with this device and a Mac.

    I have a similar OfficeJet and it was a multi-step process. (1) Install printer drivers on the machine, (2) Add the printer queue in print & fax, (3) Run the "setup wizard" from the disc for wireless printing.

  • Importing to iMovie: How do I use an external usb mic when recording with the built-in FaceTime HD Camera?

    Hello all
    I'm scheduled to work with a friend this week; I'm going to help him make a simple audition DVD.  I promised him I had the necessary equipment and such.
    I was importing from the webcam using iMovie.  If I can't use my external mic to record for the video, there is more involved in the editing process.   I was hoping to record the video and audio into one package.  I'm using the built-in FaceTime webcam on my macbook pro and a ZoomH1 on usb.
    I've tried changing the audio in system preferences: input to H1.  This works when recording with audacity or anything else.  I even changed the input on FaceTime to H1.  There aren't any preferences I can find in iMovie to change the input for importing video directly from the webcam.
    How do I change the audio input for direct import on iMovie?   
    OR
    Is there something else I can do to have HD video and HQ audio captured in one video file on my macbook pro?
    I suppose I can record the video and audio separately but that is usually much more involved.  This is why I got this usb microphone lol.
    Thanks in advance,
    -Seth

    I just found using QuickTime Player to record a movie works great.  I can easily change the audio input.  iMovie is silly. lol
    If I missed anything let me know.
    Thanks

  • I am using iMac OS 10.7.2 with Garageband'11 6.0.4. I can't record sound from  mixer Behringer X1622USB using USB out. when I connect the mixer to iMac via USB  appears USB Audio CODEC on Sound and preferences but no sound from mixer to iMac. Need help.

    I am using iMac OS 10.7.2 with Garageband'11 6.0.4. I can't record sound from  mixer Behringer X1622USB using USB out. when I connect the mixer to iMac via USB  appears USB Audio CODEC on Sound and Preferences but I can't get no sound from mixer to iMac only sound from iMac to mixer. I only can record sound using microphone line in. Please help.

    Eric,
    Thanks for your reply. Realtek audio works only in playback. There is a stereo mix in the mixer but the recording controls are not operable with no sliders in the mixer for any recording option. Slider controls appear to be grayed out. Can't figure out how to enable them. Downloaded newest drivers to no avail.
    The M Audio control panel has no apparent option for recording stereo mix. Adobe ignores the sound from the DVD or CD and shows flatline.
    I'm trying to record the sound from the DVD not rip the track.
    When I go to Audio Driver Setup and select Audition 3.0 windows sound, there is no input device installed.
    I'm thinking of going back to a decent internal Soundblaster card like I have on my 8 year old machine I am replacing.
