Trouble with audio channels

Hi. I'm having a bit of trouble with creating audio tracks. Say if I create a few audio tracks, I'll put a loop on one of the tracks and the signal goes through to the next track down and plays the loop on two tracks instead of one. anyone know why this is happening?

I've never encountered this so I can't really say. I can't imagine that you're running out of Audio objects as they are 256 Audio objects available in Logic. So if you've used 256 Audio objects already Logic can't create new Audio objects and will assign each new track to the same object. But I don't see this being the problem in your case.
Anyway check the track configuration by control+clicking/right clicking onto the track headers and checking to which Audio objects the new tracks are actually assigned.

Still having trouble with audio on Macbook Pro

I had posted a discussion board earlier on this issue. I've been having trouble with audio for certain videos on youtube and basically any website embedded with a video. The audio works for a few seconds that doesn't or it doesn't work at all. My volume is up, not on mute, and the one on the video isn't on mute either. It's funny because I just tried watching a video on Firefox (as opposed to Safari) and it works. Could it possible be something with the settings for safari?

Try restarting your Mac, resetting your router, and resetting your modem. My cable internet has gotten slow at times as well, and when I reset my router everything cleared up.

Trouble with audio driver HPG60-243CL

Hello.
A few days ago, I needed to format my notebook (model G60-243CL) and I did everything just like I'm used to do. I reinstaled Windows 7 and after instaling the drivers downloaded from HP drivers page, I had to restart the computer. That's when my troubles began.
Sometimes, when starting up, everything goes on properly until the Windows loading screen, when my computer suddenly restarts again. It doesn't happen everytime and it seems a bit random to me. However, I noticed that when it finally turns on after restarting several times, the audio is a bit odd in every application that involves audio like musics players, videos and games.
On the rare occasions where my notebook manages to start up properly, the audio stays normal.
I already tried formating again, reinstaling the audio drivers and codecs, but nothing seems to work. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Now my problem is that when the headphones are not connected, any audio being played out through the sound card can be recorded through mixers 4 and 6 above. This includes sounds created by the operating system, any audio files being played out etc. However, when I connect my headphones, the audio at the microphones can be recorded through mixers 4 and 5 above but any audio produced by the computer (again, sounds produced by the OS, audio files being played out etc.) cannot be recorded at any mixer. I tried mixer 6 above without success.

Significant question. Are you interested in getting this code to work for the machine you sit in front of, or is this for 'the general end user'?
I have no general solution for the latter, but for a single machine, installing an 'audio loop-back' (either software or hardware) might be the answer. That is the most intelligent thing I can offer that might help get around this problem.

Trouble with audio devices

I wrote a simple Java application to record audio on some mixer and then play it back. With my headphones / microphone connected, I got the following list of mixers:
1. Primary Sound Driver : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Playback
2. Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Playback
3. SoundMAX HD Audio : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Playback
4. Primary Sound Capture Driver : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Capture
5. Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Capture
6. SoundMAX HD Audio : Direct Audio Device: DirectSound Capture
7. Java Sound Audio Engine : Software mixer and synthesizer
8. Port Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 : Port Mixer
9. Port SoundMAX HD Audio : Port Mixer
Of these, mixers 2, 5 and 8 are not available when the headphones are detached, as expected.
Now my problem is that when the headphones are not connected, any audio being played out through the sound card can be recorded through mixers 4 and 6 above. This includes sounds created by the operating system, any audio files being played out etc. However, when I connect my headphones, the audio at the microphones can be recorded through mixers 4 and 5 above but any audio produced by the computer (again, sounds produced by the OS, audio files being played out etc.) cannot be recorded at any mixer. I tried mixer 6 above without success.

Trouble With Audio Coming Out of Sync

I am having trouble with audio sync
I am using .mov files of myself talking however I also record audio of myself talking as well. The audio files record as mp3 however I convert them to aiff files in order to better synch them in FCP
I have an audio sound as an in point in order to better sync them and the syncing is perfect when i start.
My files are about an hour and a half long and 20 minutes or so the audio starts to come out of sync and my mouth becomes a half second or so behind the audio. I record this audio live so there is no delay between my speaking and my recording voice but the longer the video goes the more out of sync I become.
My syncing method that I use is "Merge Clips" at the in points.
Has anyone else experienced this?

All sorts of things you can do.
Easiest fix is just to run down your timeline and every few minutes snip the audio and move it back into sync.
Now after that;""
Qe have no idea what your process was. We assume you're editing in Final Cut. How did you import your footage? What format is it in the browser?
what are the settings of your timeline? Look at the sequence settings.
You know that you can plug audio from
mic into a Zi8?
You need to get rid of the mixer hum. Likely ac electrical
interference , a ground fault, but who knows.

Need help working with audio channels in Premiere cs4

Having trouble with audio edit to tape, print to video ok

Hi all, please go easy on me, this is my first post.
I am having difficulty getting audio on to tape via 'edit to tape'.
The hardware is blackmagic decklink extreme, feeding component video and analoge audio to a UVW-1800P.
I can do a print to video on a crash record and the audio works that way, but edit to tape does not.
I have tried both deck link and built in audio in the audio settings and the FCP a/v settings, seperate and ganged output settings, I have set the insert settings to 2 channel Sony, reloaded the decklink drivers.
The irritating thing is the audio is there whilst cutting, but as soon as I try edit to tape there is complete silence. The important thing is that it worked a few weeks back but does not now, it must be a setting?
Thanks in advance for your help.
This machine I am working with this week is an Intel MacPro running FCP 5.1.2 and Mac OS 10.4.8
G5 Dual 2GHz-Blackmagic Decklink Pro, G3 with Sonnet G4 upgrade Mac OS X (10.4.8)
G5 Dual 2GHz-Blackmagic Decklink Pro, G3 with Sonnet G4 upgrade Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I had this same problem and this resolved it for me:
-Go to your "Settings" icon and click on the "General" tab.
-About 2/3 way down the page you will see "Use side switch to:" - make sure "mute" is checked rather than "lock rotation."
-Then make sure the side switch, located next to the volume toggle switch on the side of your ipad, is moved to the right (no red dot showing).
My audio worked fine in embedded videos after I did those two things. Hope it works for you.

Trouble with audio

I just installed Logic Express and I can't seem to get the audio to work. I'm using a Tascam US-122 to channel all the inputs and outputs. The signals are all there, but no sound. Everything worked fine with garage band, so I'm assuming it's a Logic issue (?) I did install the new 7.2.3 version, and it's still not working. Any ideas?

Hi,
Have you got the latest driver?

Having trouble with Audio Sync in FCExpress

Hello, everyone...a question for the board.
I recently acquired a new iMac with Final Cut Express...planning to try some video editing at home.
I haven't been successful with the proper configuration for captured video, however...using a Sony TRV-900 as my source, video feeding in via firewire 800 (I bought a 400/800 adapter to make it work), and ingesting using NTSC Basic...however, my audio is still not in sync with the video--the video is always ahead, and it jumps further ahead the more I ingest.
Is there some configuration I need to use so that the audio syncs correctly? Is it, as I suspect, a drop-frame issue that I haven't set up correctly?
Any help you could throw my way would be very much appreciated.

I realize that most DV cameras will record in 32 and 48 sampling rates. What I'm trying to get you to do is see what you've ALREADY recorded.
Open one of the captured clips in QuickTime, then hit Command j to see the movie properties. Or in FCP, right-click on a captured clip and choose Item Properties to see what audio you are trying to capture. Once you know that, create a Sequence with those settings, then capture any remaining footage with those settings. If needed, recapture any footage that was previously captured using the wrong settings.

Troubles with virtual channels

I programm my applications on an PC without any NI-Hardware. My problem ist, that I need virtual channels from the Measurement&Automation-Explorer.
My first attempt was, to configure some channels without settings for hardware. Normally when I use an DAQ-Constant in my application, I could select the configured channels. In this case I couldn´t.
My second attempt was, to use two PCI-DIO96 cards. I configured also some channels, but I get the same result. I couldn´t select the configured channels in LabView(6.1)
Did I need the complete extern hardware, or is there another reason for my problem?
Best regards
Robert

Robert;
Virtual Channels only make sense when used in conjunction with a DAQ device. If you don't have a DAQ device, Labview won't recognize that Virtual Channel as a valid one.
Regarding the PCI-DIO96 boards, make sure you installed those properly, before creating the Virtual Channels for it. If they are not installed, you will fall into the same issue as if you don't have a DAQ device on the machine.

Troubles with audio on export

Hi.
I have a Motion 5 project with video with a soundtrack, and some sound effects and music. On render/share it skips the sound effect (a white noise static sound) and approx. 2 seconds of the video soundtrack. Then sound plays fine for the rest of the video clip. After that there is a music track, and it doesn't play the first few seconds, but plays the rest flawlessly until the end.
This is on an 8 Core Mac Pro 2,1 with 12 GB of RAM running Motion 5.0.2. and OS 10.7.3
What's then super strange is that when I took the file home and rendered on my Quad Core Mac Pro 2,1 with 16 GB of Ram an the same OS and same version of Motion, it rendered without a hitch.
Any ideas?

Hello Imgoinghome,

Trouble with audio when converting ProRes to MPEG2 HD 422

I am not sure what the problem is but the files I make with compressor won't play back audio on our Play out server.
the PlayBox AirBox. The files I tried from Sorenson Squeeze 8.5 seemed to work fine. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
here are my settings

It turns out that I can use the HD XDCam 50 setting to work with our playout server.
Although the bitrate is higher than necessary. The final bitrate on the MPEG2 encoder on the output before the transmitter is only about 12Mpbs. But hey this works!
I just wish Apple would support an MPEG2 HD 422 codec that would allow for bitrate adjustments etc...
I saw that PixelTools has a QT Codec plug in for QT but it is like $1,600!!!
But the cool thing is you can export directly from your timeline into HD MPEG2 and include your closed caption files at the same time.

If you're having trouble with Audio with Movies or Netflix, try this...

Go to general> settings> audio and turn Dolby Digital to 'off', Then unplug your Apple TV for 20 seconds and try again.
Should do the trick. Worked for me after talking to Apple Support.

Even though Disk Utility First Aid 'repaired' the drive I would still not rely on DU to find and fix errors. Nor continue to rely on LaCie.
Usually when there is a problem the FW ports need to be 'reset' which seems to be a LaCie feature or only happens with their cases.
And yes, use SuperDuper or Drive Genius 2 so you have bootable backups. But sadly 3rd party disk repair and maintenance are essential and a must. Don't wait until DU First Aid does find an error it can't fix, DW finds and fixes problems Apple doesn't.

Having trouble with audio clips in FCP

I have a project which involves using a number of short audio .wav clips stacked up with a video clip - lots of sounds to go with a SPFX-heavy project.
Problem is - I can hear a 'popping' noise at the start of the .wav clips. In some short portions of the project this is really annoying because you can hear 2-3 pops in rapid succession as one wav file comes in after another.
I've brought the files into Soundtrack Pro and there is no popping sound to clean up in the individual audio files.
It anyone else having a problem like this? Is it unavoidable?

Yes, it is a common problem with digital audio files. I believe it is known as DV Offset, or some such. You can search for POP and find many discussions here and on other FCP forums. We see the topic weekly at least. The most common solution is to place a 1 or 2 frame fade at the beginning of the clip.
This is not necessarily a problem with FCP, it's digital audio, that's just kinda how it is.

Is anyone else having trouble with Audio Assets not packaging correctly? Indd CS6

When I go to package my indesign files, which appear properly linked and organized, rather than bundling the play and pause icons in one folder labeled Audio (in an Overlay Assets folder) like it should, it collects as two Audio folders (both into an Overlay Assets folder). I do have two audio resources I'm using (the same mp3 file for each audio button). When I collect, I see one folder is named Audio and has nothing in it. Nor does the 2nd folder, named Audio 402-12510241 but with a long 12 digit code in the filename (this number changes each time I attempt to bundle.). So each time I try to package, then open the newly packaged file, the audio controller files show up as missing assets.
Here's two alert messages I get when I:
A. Try to package a file
B. Try to preview on iPad
If I manually dump these collected audio folders and replace into the Overlay Assets folder it works to preview on the iPad. And seems to work. But try repackaging and you get the same scenario.
Any ideas how to resolve this?
—Brian

Well it worked, kind of. Opened and worked in CC. Previewed to iPad just fine. Packaged folder on the CC machine, which seemed to create correct overlay asset folders with the audio plan and pause pngs. Yeah.
Then, I followed the steps from your note, copied the whole folder to the cs6 machine. Opened the idml in that folder, where there was also the CC version, saved the idml as a new filename in cs6. And if I stop right there, I likely have good files.
But for good measure, I tried to package again, hoping this time I'd see the audio folders in the right place. But no dice. The packaged file creates two empty audio folders. The reason I keep trying to re-package is because I'll be adding more content to these files and will have to re-package at least one more time before uploaded article into an actual folio. And I want to address the problem before going to the Cloud. I'm a bit hesitant to upload given the behavior of these audio files. I've tried importing new audio files with new controller files but that doesn't work.
Days ago, doing troubleshooting of the file, I noticed an old remnant which I deleted from the CC file, and that was a plain text box (with 100% color fill) that had an audio controller file path/location (in the audio folio overlay panel) that linked backed to the CC machine. This was an accident to link this colored box, and it had no mp4 link (or audio controller files) attached to it in the links folder. But deleting the box did delete this audio pathway.
So I can keep doing what I'm doing, replacing the Overlay Assets folder with a custom Audio folder each time, but I'll have to do this to my other 700 pages of iPad documents that will follow this chapter. I'd rather just understand what is happening, fix the file once, then move on and use the corrected files for a template to use for other 20 chapters i have to build.
Mac OS 10.7.5 (which keeps telling me there is an CS6 update but then after updating it, the same update is ready for me to download again). So maybe my OS has something to do with it? Or working on two separate harrdrives that are both within the same tower? I'm trying to work on just one, but I have copied files onto this 2nd drive, which I plan to add as new articles to a new folio as soon as I figure this out.
What do you think?
