Voice Over channel

This is a quick one. As you know, when you record voice over, it is recorded under one channel normally the left one.
It there a way to "stereo-ise" this recording or at least to double the mono, so the you can hear it from both channels?
Cheers
Hisham

If I'm not mistaken, the audio from the "voice-over" channel comes out of both sides. At least it did when I did a voice-over on my vacation video. Also, when you import sound effects or songs, they only show up on one of the two audio channels, but I believe the sound is stereo (or mono on two channels). I add lots of sound efx to my slide shows and movies and I can't ever remember only hearing them only on one channel (the one they record to in iMovie).

    I have a macbook pro and Premiere Pro 5.0...I'm trying to open audio channels to do a voice over. Every time I try to record it says I don't have a open channel.

    Is there some reason you have not updated PPro 5.0 to the latest version?

  • Voice over left channel

    I'm recording voice over on a presentation through my apogee duet.  It's obviously a mono source and in the duet interface I have it panned center, however the playback seems to only record the voice to the left channel.  Anyway to get that to both channels when I record?  I really don't want to edit the audio after the fact.

    As your not willing to say what this device is or how its connected, I will provide generic settings:
    1 -  System Preferences > Sound > Input:      select the correct sound device from the list, speak into the mic and move the input volume slider until the level indicator displays about  75%
    2 -  Applications > Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup:    select the correct audio device from the list on the left,  drag the M slider all the way over to the right the value box should now show 1
    When these settings are made, the 2 rows of the recording indicator in Keynote will show a USB mono mic correctly set to dual channel.

  • Channel Strip Settings For Voice Over

    Might have screwed something up, or forgot. I record voice overs onlyon Logic Pro. Do I set both channel strips to the left with one circle or the interlocking circles. Or do I set one circle on one and the double circles on the other? I record in mono. I notice when I use the interlocking circles there are two circles near the top. When I use only circle the larger circle near the top disappears. Confused. Just need to know what is the correct settings for VOs. I thank you for your help

    If you record in mono, all you need is the single circle. Mono track. Not L, not R, just mono.

  • Unable to capture audio from BlackMagic HD Extreme via Voice Over tool

    Hi !
    I'm trying to capture audio via my BlackMagic HD Extrem card using the Voice Over tool in FCP6, but I can't, no audio is incoming.
    I can ingest audio with video using log and capture, then I know my card and my cables are working.
    I tried to set the BM card as audio input in my Audio's System Prefereces Pane, but it isn't working either.
    I've been looking on the BM website, but I found nothing.
    Can you help me ?
    Thx

    Thanks for the reply.
    Looking at system preferences I found that audio input was set microphone. Don't know how it happened. I switched it to DeckLink and now FCP displays 16 input channels in Log and Capture dialog. I didn't try to capture yet but I think it solved the problem, because before I had only two channels displyed.

  • Recording a Voice Over w Kona3 xlr in FCP 6

    hello all
    i've got a fcp 6 setup with a kona 3 card and want to record Voice Overs straight into the timeline but am having some difficulties getting any results.
    The system is brand new and the card is installed properly but i'm not sure what i need to do to set the XLR 1-2 to be audible in FCP.
    Currently my mic is cabled to XLR 1-2 and with the kona 3 control panel the Audio Input Select is AES/EBU (XLR) map channels 1-2 to 1-2. The other option is Embedded 1-16. I'm pretty sure this is correct and mapping the XLR inputs appropriately.
    Within FCP my capture preset is AJA Kona3: 720p 59.94 DVCPro HD. Though i'm not sure if the capture preset effects the voice over tool.
    Within the VO tool:
    source: AJA Kona
    Input: Aja kona (doesn't allow a specific channel)
    in/outs are set on sequence. "ready to record' is displayed but i have no levels.
    any insight is appreciated as i am a little green with the kona card.
    Thanks
    /j

    I'm not sure the AES/EBU xlr inputs will work with a mic plugged directly. This is actually intended to be a digital format - see the wiki here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AES/EBU
    A mic plugged directly into this jack will not provide the compatible signal. I use a Kone with a breakout box that includes analog XLR inputs, but these are differentl. You may have some additional options. You need to convert the audio to digital to use the AES or "embedded" digital audio. If you have a deck connected you may bbe able to use the analog inputs on the deck as a bridge to get to the Kona.
    If you are planning to use the VO tool, you may be recording scratch VO until the script is finalized... in this case, or even if this is intended to be the final audio, you can also hook up an adapter to use the Mac's built-in audio input as a source, in whic case the A/D conversion happens on the Mac's audio card.
    Additionally, you can use a DV or other firewire-compatible camera as a bridge to get digital audio in via firewire.
    Hope this helps -

  • Trouble viewing audio levels in Voice Over tool

    Hello,
    I often record voice over into Final Cut Pro using the Voice Over tool. In the middle section of the Voice Over window there is a 'Level' meter that flashes Green to Yellow and Red, illustrating the level of audio being fed into the Mac. For some reason though, this has stopped working for me.
    My set up is this: A Mic in our voice over booth connects to a Soundcraft 4 channel mixing desk via an XLR cable. The mixing desk is linked to a JVC HD tape desk, which is connected to the Mac via FireWire.
    Previously, to capture Voice Over I set the tape deck to 'Line' input, in 'DV' mode and set the Voice Over tool to 'DV Audio' as the source.
    I can see sound levels on the mixing desk. I can see sound levels on the tape deck, but I can't see sound levels on the Mac's VO tool. Despite this, it does still capture voice over (I just can't 'see' it).
    This problem is annoying because it means Im unsure whether the Mac is actually receiving an audio feed or not unless I do a test recording first.
    Any suggestions as to why the Voice Over tool would suddenly stop showing me Levels, would be greatly appreciated!

    My secondary Mac works fine when the AV settings are set to HDV, despite it receiving standard DV audio input. Whether FCP is set to DV or not doesn't seem to matter in this case.
    In trying to resolve the issue I played around with DV/HDV settings within FCP and the Deck; trying different combinations, but with no success.
    +To recap (just to clarify in my own head), the situation is this:+
    +Both of my Macs, Primary and Secondary, happily record Voice Over, via the Voice Over tool.+
    +The Mic in the sound room connects to a Mixing desk via an XLR cable. The mixing desk is also connected to 2 sets of headphones, one for the Artist and one for the Engineer. 2 audio jacks connect the mixing desk to the JVC tape deck. The JVC tape deck connects to my Mac via FireWire to the port at the rear of the Mac.+
    +The issue is that the Primary Mac does not display audio Levels in the Voice Over tool, whilst it does on the Secondary Mac.+
    +While Im recording Voice Over on my secondary Mac I can see that there is an Audio input because the Green/Yellow/Red bar flashes up. On my Primary mac this bar is inactive and therefore gives me no clues as to the level of audio being fed into the Mac.+

  • Voice over tool limited to built-in microphone

    The voice-over tool will not give me the dv audio option (my camera is connected via firewire and all systems are go. I know I'm getting a signal from the mic into my camera). Whenever I select DV Audio, I get the following error message:
    "No sound recording devices are available. They may be in use by another application, incorrectly connected or may be conflicting with a video output device."
    Now I looked up the problem on the Apple support forum and learned that exactly this problem had happened some time in the past with an older model computer. In that case the person submitting the problem was told to update their operating system, to OS X 10.2.3 or higher. I have the latest update to my Macbook Pro so that obviously isn't the issue here.
    I'm stumped. Any suggestions?

    Sorry -- I'm not sure how the Mbox works... but you cannot monitor VO back from the computer as you're VOing.
    SO -- if the Mbox can monitor the audio track then use that. Most of us use some type of mixing board... even a two channel one will do.
    Do not try and monitor back off the mac. Won't work... unless they've fixed this in v5.

  • How to do a voice over for video?

    I am using the Adobe CS4 Production Premium suit to produce my first training video. I need to go back and do voice overs to clean up the audio. I am looking for the ideal setup to do this. I am new to the whole video production arena, so these questions I am sure are very basic:
    First off, it is my understanding that the speaker needs to be watching the final cut of the video as to keep in line in pace with him moving lips. The person in question is not a professional, thus not accustom to listening to himself as he is recorded. Should he be listening to the audio that he is going to be replacing (the playback), the live audio he is creating, or both? If both, I am assuming one channel is the live and the other is the playback, correct?
    I am looking at USB style microphones and some of them have headphone monitoring ports on the microphone that result in zero latency. This sort of implies to me that I cannot rely on Soundbooth to play the audio/video and mix back in the live audio for the speaker. That if mixing the two together for the headset, I will need to do that all outside of the computer. Is that correct?
    Or is the simplest setup to encode the video clip to DVD and have the speaker simply watch it on a regular TV and listen to the audio playback with the headset and I monitor him via Soundbooth?
    As you can tell, I am simply trying to figure out how to setup everything to make the voice over recording as quick and easy as possible, both of which I know it is not. I am open to ideas, I am even more open to any web sites or books that might help explain and talk about how to do this type of voice overs.

  • Voice Over in Premiere Pro CS5

    Hi there.
    A quick question about doing voice overs. I am recording using a Tascam US-122, with mono on. I am recording a voice over onto Audio Track 1, but it records to normal volume on the left side, and barely any volume to the right.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    David

    You're right, we weren't on the same page, and now I understand!
    So  I added a mono track and yes, there is only one levels display. I  recorded, then copied and pasted it to a second mono track and panned  one hard left, the other hard right, and I got equal levels in both  channels!
    Ok, so problem solved.
    But  one last question.... I'm still not really understanding what I'm doing when I record in mono. The screenshot below shows the playback of the mono recording... with one Levels display for the mono track, Audio 3, and two Levels displays in the Master. And 2 channels are playing back in the Master. So when I play it back now, I'm getting sound in both channels.
    I'm not sure why creating a mono channel, as you suggested, ended up with a recording that plays back in 2 channels on the Master.
    Thanks,
    David

  • How do I turn off voice-over service on ipad?

    (Please read this all the way through to avoid confusion)
    When I watch certain channels On Demand on my ipad, there is a voice-over for the visually impaired .. a narrator that describes every single little thing the characters are doing (which is amusing when it's a sex scene). I cannot find any way to turn this off. It's mostly on USA network. I have looked everywhere and can't find a way to shut it off. It has nothing to do with the closed-captioning, or the audio/secondary audio function. Can anyone help?

    See this Apple doc -> iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
    VoiceOver
    If VoiceOver is on and you want to turn it off from the device instead of from iTunes, remember that a double-tap acts like a single tap and you need to use three fingers to scroll when VoiceOver is on:
    Press Home.
    Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.
    Tap General. Then double-tap General.
    Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.
    Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.
    Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.
    Tap "On"  next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.
    You can configure the device to display options for VoiceOver, Zoom, or White on Black when you triple-click the Home button. This feature is off by default; to enable it, tap  Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-click Home.
    If VoiceOver is on and the screen is black, but you can still use the device by pressing volume up and volume down, you may have screen curtain on. Try triple-tapping using three fingers on the device display to turn off screen curtain. Or connect the device to iTunes (see above).
    You can also turn it off from iTunes, that document goes over that too.

  • Help with Voice-over recording - Strange tunnel/underwater effect

    Hi there!
    To start off, I am a beginner with audio equipment and recording, and very new to Audition. I recently did a voiceover recording in a studio setting, and was helped by an "audio engineer" -- although now I'm wondering if that's true -- because the WAV file we were provided is VERY noticeably off. It sounds like a tunnel, or underwater.
    I'm not sure if this file is too far-gone to be able to fix with proper mixing-- I'm posting this in hopes that there is a simple fix, but I realize that this could need to be re-recorded. So any advice is MUCH appreciated.
    Here is a clip of the Voice-over: Clip.wav - Google Drive
    Thanks in advance!

    Hey, J.
    It sounds like the two channels of audio in your WAV file have been merged to mono.  That's no always a bad thing, but in this case, they are no longer in-phase, so there is some interaction between the two channels. Can you send me the original file via dropbox or google drive to [email protected] for analysis?  If the two channels of this stereo .wav are isolated, then you can save this recording by splitting them apart...which I can help you with inside the software.

  • Recording radio show style voice over music

    Hi guys,
    I am looking to host a new radio show and have already put together a few shows.
    I now have Logic 9 and a Rode Podcaster mic.
    I am trying to work out how I can record my voice and have the music volume drop down in level as I speak.
    The exact same way as a "talk-over" would work on a mixer i.e.
    1. radio dj/announcer speaks
    2. music level fades out
    3. radio dj/announcer finishes talking
    4. music level fades back in to normal level
    Any info or feedback would be much appreciated
    Cheers

    Huh ? Both methods work in real time. Did you actually try them ?
    Christian
    Yes I did try it and it worked fine however this was done using a PRE-RECORDED voice over and music.
    I was wondering if this method would work if I this was done live i.e. playing music on one channel and voice over on another.
    The same way a radio station would work where music would play and the dj would speak over the top, all live - in real time.

  • Inherited Linksys Voice over IP and data installation.

    I have just inherited a brand new linksys, voice over ip data installation. It has roughly 25 telephones and the same number of computers with new WMP300N network cards and SPA941 IP telephones. The company remodeled an old construction with 100% masonry wall (brick and/or concrete). The remodeling included the 100% wireless data and telephone installation. Now that the remodeling is finished and work has started, the network saturates as soon as there are a few users. The computers are all using LinkSys WMP300N cards and the telephones are all LinkSys SPA941. They installed approx 15 wifi repeaters for telephones and 10 for datos. They installed two separate but identical AP's, one for Data and the other for Voice but both on a 192.168.1/24 subnet.(Zonet ZSR1124WE) The folks who installed this didn't, for some reason, use LinkSys AP's and repeaters but used Zonet ZSR1124WE for all.
    My questions are:
    1. Wouldn't using the same subnet be the same and using the same
    wire that that would allow voice/telephones to saturate and
    slow down the data even though the AP's are separate?
    2. Wouldn't channel interference between the aprox 25
    repeaters be common?
    3. If I were to remove all their equipment (APs and repeaters.)
    an install 2 LynkSys AP's in the center of the offices
    where there is an open patio with a watt or better amplifier
    (not illegal here, not in the U.S.) output and a high gain
    antenna on each of the two and using separate networks.
    172.16.1/24 for datos and leave 192.168.1/24 for telephones
    have a chance at success and if so could you estimate
    how much of a change and recommend equipment and/or other
    critical or semi-critical points that I have missed?
    Thanks,
    ed
    P.S. I have my doubts that this is even possible but it would be cool, if it only worked

    Umm.. you left out quite a bit of information:
    How are the wired phones connected to the wireless network?
    What channels do the APs use and how are they connected in between each other (and other wired data equipment)?
    What kind of network is it? B, G, N?
    How many WLAN channels are used? One per AP and all repeaters use the channel of the AP they repeat for?
    As far as the subnet goes, the current setup shouldn't be a problem - I figure the problems are more likely to come from the wireless than the wired part of your network. Considering that you're basically halfing the throughput with each repeater (assuming the same channel which is likely since there are only 3 that do not interfere unless you have an A network) - the sheer number of repeaters is most likely to be blamed for the poor performance. Traditional WLAN networks generally use a wired backbone, plus you'd have a single net and use one of the three distinct channels in order to minimize interference.
    Increasing the output of the main antenna is also only half of the problem... if you can reach clients that are farther away, those clients will also need the appropriate power output to reach the base again - and those wireless cards are limited in that way.
    There are two essential pieces to tracking down a problem with your VoIP equipment:
    The configuration of every device involved
    SIP protocol traces
    And don't forget: there's no such thing as giving too much information when describing a problem.

  • Voice Over & Blue Tooth Headset

    I'm using "voice Over" on my iPhone 4s, and want to use a blue tooth headset.  I can't get "voice Over" to communicate via the blue tooth device.  Calls are channeled through the head set though.

    You will need to check the profiles your Bluetooth headset can use. It will need to use the A2DP profile for you to hear VoiceOver speaking.
