Unable to perform multi audio tracks mixing with Audio Mixer

How do you get a simple multi track mix with the Premier Pro 1.5 Audio Mixer?
I got 2 audio clips, each sitting at the start of its own separate track (Audio 1 and Audio 2). I just want to mix them into the Master track.  Simple enough.
So I go to the Audio Mixer. Position the CTI at the start of the tracks and hit the red RECORD button. The red spot starts blinking. Then I hit the START/STOP button expecting the tracks to start mixing into the Master track. Instead, I get this error message
     "PLAYER ERROR: You cannot record without enabling at least one track for recording."  
I get the same problem if I try the mix onto a submix track.
What am I missing? I combed through the Premiere Pro User Guide and J. Rosenberg's Premiere Pro Studio Techniques but to no avail.
Thanks for any help.
JB.

Jacques, I havn't seen 1.5 for a while, so I need to stress that what I'm about to say is more of an educated guess linked to a rough memory.
Each audio track in the mixer has a small chip (tickbox in 1.5??) that you click in order to enable that track for recording. In CS3 it's a little microphone.
Having said that, I DON'T think that's going to give you what you want, as the intention of the recording functionality in PP is to record audio FROM AN EXTERNAL SOURCE (like a microphone) straight to an audio track, say, when doing a Voice Over for some video.
You can't "mix down" to the master, as the master is not a track per se. It's just a "final" level control. The master will always be the sum of the active tracks, and THAT'S what will be rendered in the final output.
You can still "live mix" your audio with the faders, it's just that those movements get recorded as keyframes on each of the tracks you modify (including, BTW, the Master).
The advantage to this workflow is that every fader move you make is infinitley editable... a small error when riding the faders can easily be fixed by dragging keyframes.
HTH.

  • Hi,  I trimmed an audio regin in the audio track edior with "Snap Edits to Zero Crossings" on. But I zoom in.the waveform was not ended at Zero point. Why?  In the audio file editork, "Snap Edits to Zero Crossings" option works fine.

    Hi,

    Why?

    correction needs to be made to step #14, I typed:
    14) Point to the start or end one of the clips, when you see the icon showing arrows going either way, right click and drag your clips to roughly match up with the timeline selection, then zoom in further and adjust the clip start and end points to match up exactly with the timeline selection start and endpoints.
    Here is the correction, THE CORRECTED PARTS ARE CAPITALIZED:
    14) Point to the start or end OF one of the clips, when you see the icon showing arrows going either way, LEFT-CLICK and drag your clips to roughly match up with the timeline selection, then zoom in further and adjust the clip start and end points to match up exactly with the timeline selection's start and end points.
    Another Correction:
    Originally read:
    Addendum: IF you have 2 files selected and click "Edit" to go to Edit view, it will give you the file of the clip you selected first, not 2nd. You must then go back to MT view, de-select the clip you selected first, then de-select the clip you want to edit, then RE-select the clip you want to edit.

  • Export audio track for third-party mixing

    I want to export my FCE audio track so I can mix it using Cubase. All I can see to do is to export it as a Quicktime movie, but I think I need to retain the format as AIFF, or perhaps MPEG-4. What can I do?

    Use QuickTime Conversion. Change to format popup to Sound to AIFF.

  • Why do my EMPTY audio tracks playback ANOTHER audio track?

    Why do my EMPTY audio tracks playback ANOTHER audio track?
    Example: A vocal track (audio 2) being played through an empty guitar track (audio 1).
    The vocal track is magically being played through the guitar track with distortion. WHAT possible feature is this good for and how do I get rid of this annoying problem? I looked at the reassign tracks menu and it doesn't say its connected or anything... I don't know if this has been addressed before on this site but I can't find the answer any where on Apple Discussion's website. Please help.

    A key concept to understand is that Logic is more flexible when it comes to "tracks" than most other DAWs.
    For instance, most DAW use a fixed "one arrange track is one audio channel" approach.
    Logic doesn't. You can have many arrange tracks all assigned to the same audio mixer channel (although only one will sound at a time).
    You probably have two arrange tracks assigned to the same audio object (key command "New arrange track with same object") rather than creating a new arrange track together with a new independent audio channel (key command "New arrange track with next object").
    Try this. Hit the + button at the top of the track list, and create a new audio track. This creates a new arrange track and assigns it to the next available audio object.
    Move your second region to this new track - does that work as you expect now?

  • Exporting mono audio tracks as mono audio tracks with video tracks

    hello,
    i'm working with dv pal 48 khz digitized files.  when i import the files into fcp7, i have a video track and 4 different mono audio tracks.  my plan is to modify each individual mono track, after exporting each as aif, editing them, and then importing them back as aif.  the problem is that when i've built a sequence with 1 video track and 4 different mono audio tracks, there doesn't seem to be a way to end up with 4 different mono audio tracks like the original, it appears that the only option is to end up with 2 stereo tracks.  can someone help me with this, which i'm sure is a very odd problem?
    kind regards,
    charlie

    If you are editing the audio with Soundtrack Pro you can use the "send to" command. It will send your project as a multi-track file so that each track can be editited independently or you can add elements to all four.
    If you have Logic, add it to the "external audio editors" list and you can use it in the same way as STP.

  • Logic Pro 7 - Audio Track record with Firewire In

    System: Mac Book Pro. Logic 7.2.3 M-Audio Firewire 410. Aggregate device created = Firewire Multichannel (as input) & Built-In Output. (Built-in microphone turned off) Using condensor mike connected to F/W interface
    SYMPTOM: No Audio being recorded to Audio Track. MIDI interfaces OK.
    Any idea how to set Audio track to capture Firewire audio IN? (The set-up works properly with Garage Band)

  • Audio track recording with 2 MIDI devices on Channel Spitter

    I now have a turn table set running through XLR cables into an M-Audio interface, and than into a USB Hub which runs into the MacG5.
    I've got the Channel Splitter Track hooked up, and I am now tryin to record 2 MIDI Devices and an Audio track (from turntables) at the same time. Is this possible ?
    I've gone into the Audio Drivers and Hardware window and messed around but with no success. Do you have any advice for me ?
    I am very new to this so step by step would help alot. Thankyou.

    I've tried that, and what happens is the Instr track is picked up and recorded but I'm getting nothing from the audio track.
    It seems that the Logic wants to read the devices one at a time. Meaning, I can get it to read the audio interface but not the Midi, or the Midi and no audio. It will not read both at the same time. ( when Logic is picking up the audio interface I can see that it's getting a signal from my midi devices but I'm getting no sound, and nothing is being recorded from the midi devices).
    I have a feeling that I've done something wrong in the Audio Hardware and Drivers window.
    Thankyou again for your time, I'm detirmined to learn this system. You've been a big help.

  • Multi-Timbral track automation with VIRUS TI

    Hello, My name is Joao and I bouth one VIRUS TI and I am experiencing one problem related with track automation on Logic 8.
    I want to know how can I make independent automation for each track that I had created on Logic. For example, when I create one Multi-timbral track, the first automation goes to all of the other 15 tracks at the same time.
    If you need any additional information, do not hesitate to contact me.
    Best Regards,
    Joao.

    Yeah that's a known problem with some 3rd party plugins. Assign the different sounds to different Outputs/Auxes instead, and write your Automation into the Auxes.

  • Timeline with one audio track - timeline two audio tracks

    A colleague of mine did a pre edit for me. Somehow the second audio track in the whole sequence disapeared.
    Is there a quick way to get the second audio track back?

    Go to the auto save vault and start wandering back in time till you find where it disappeared?
    Somewhat unclear as to what you are asking.
    Do you mean:
    the original file has disappeared
    or
    the reference to it on the timeline disappeared
    or
    the file is offline ?

  • Audio tracks playing different audio tracks - routing issue?

    I'm having trouble with some routing issues I believe. Here's the deal:
    Some audio tracks are playing different audio tracks, when that region is not even in it. For instance:
    Track #2 is Soloed. Output is Output 1-2. I hear the audio file that is in Track #1, which is NOT Soloed and I shouldn't even hear. I don't hear anything from Track #2. The only way I can hear Track #2 is by playing it from the audio bin, which obviously isn't going to work out right.
    If I drag the audio region of Track #2 to a brand new audio track, I still don't hear anything. Is it possible this audio file(s) got corrupted somehow?
    Please help!

    Check the parameters, in the left side of the arrange page window.
    To me, it sounds as if you have a bunch of arrange tracks, which are all playing back through audio track #1.

  • Record button only available for AUDIO TRACK, not for AUDIO INST.

    Hi -- For some reason Logic Express 7.1.1 is only giving me the opportunity to record enable tracks that are AUDIO TRACKS. All of my other tracks (mainly software synths) using the AUDIO INSTRUMENTS don't have the ability to record.
    I opened previous files where I'd recorded on these tracks, but even on older files, the option still is not there.
    Any thoughts?
    As for setup, I just have an MAudio keystaton attached via USB, and it's playing the software instruments fine. Also, I sometimes have an MBox hooked up (although not right now.) I updated this recently for TIGER, and I didn't know if this messed it up.
    Powerbook G4, 1.5 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    don't know if on Logic express there's the key command 'Capture Last Take as Recording'.
    If yes,during playback you can play anything you like on your keyboard and by pressing the keys that you have assigned for this key command you can have everything that you played as events on the specific audio instrument as if you were in record mode.
    If you move the SPL the new information will delete the previous one.

  • Is MOV file with mp2 audio tracks compatible with QT player?

    Many possible answers here. Since you did not indicated the video compression format, my only recomendation would be to try playback in the QT 7 Player for your specific combination of video, audio, and file container. For instance, "muxed" MPEG-2/MP2 data in an MPEG, MPG, or MOV file container will play correctly in the QT 7 Player. On the other hand, the MPEG and and MPG files only play the video in the QT X Player and the MOV file container will not even open in the QT X Player.
    Basically, if you check the QT X Player web page, you will note that MPEG-1, layer 2 audio is not supported by this player. However, whiile MPEG-1, layer 2 audio is still basically supported by the QT 7 Player, certain audio, video, and file container combinations may be problematic.

  • Nudging audio during playback with audio plugins applied causes crash

    Hi,
    We are having some unusual crashes at the moment in a very specific situation:
    1. An audio effect is applied to at least one track of audio. Reverb and compression cause it but not EQ.
    2. During playback
    3. Nudging an audio clip using Alt and the left and right arrow keys. One nudge is ok, several quick nudges in succession causes a crash.
    The machine starts beachballing and never seems to stop. Video playback continues.
    This is obviously quite easy to workaround but just wondering if anyone else is having this issue and also wanted to highlight to Adobe.
