Voice Over Sound Tracks

I have used the VO tool and have the track in the timeline. When importing it was set to 2 channels.
In the timeline there is 1 track. Would it be better to duplicate the final VO track and therefore have 2 tracks (presumably for stereo) and then the music soundtrack in the other 2 tracks??? In total there would then be 4 tracks. New to doing VO so any help appreciated.
Thanks

I've never used the vo tool, preferring a decently recorded track. But think about it this way:
There is only one speaker in a vo. The sound is only coming from one place in psychoacoustic space.
Keep it in one track, pan it to wherever you want it in that space.

  • Voice over sounds like coming from a toilet paper tube

    OK, I was born in a poverty stricken area of Pennsylvania, and we used toilet paper tubes for toys.
    More self-disclosure than you wanted, but during an interview, the questions did not come out very clear. I used the voice over tool, and the difference between the sound and the voice over is very noticeable. The voice over sounds "tinny" and distant.
    I copied the sound tracks to make it louder and played with the pan and the volume, but to no avail.
    Any suggestions?

    I am using a Logitech USB mic. Perhaps that is
    my problem to.
    OUCH! this made me wince in sympathy pains. what you need for a decent voiceover - i do this in my edit room - are some sound blankets on the floor, a sennheiser me66 in the mic stand pointing down, above and in front of he talent, going into your mixer and then into your vtr or your mac. personally, i go into my vtr and use tape so i can turn off the computers.
    that usb mic isn't gonna cut it!

  • Logic Pro X - How do I record my voice over existing tracks (via a mike and audio interface) without hearing those tracks on the speaker. I have headphones plugged into the interface but it doesn't stop in coming out of the speakers?

    I'm new to Logic Pro X and can't work out how to record my voice over existing tracks without them playing over the speaker. I'm using a Sure mike through an audio interface and have headphones plugged into the interface?

    Hi Kevin, what kind of audio interface do you have?

  • Voice Over for tracks & artist does not work

    My sister has just bought FOUR new iPod shuffles 4th gen, im busy trying to set them up for the kids before xmas - it turns out that the voice over for tracks and artists does NOT work even though its installed and the ONLY fix i can find is to MANUALLY apply ENGLISH (UK) language settings to each track after theyve been put on... now SURELY this isnt right...?
    can anyone help with thise?
    thanks

    Ok so the "is it plugged in" kind of troubleshooting question is...
    When you plug in the iPod, go to the summary page of the iPod, there is a check box to enable Voiceover on that iPod. Is that checked?

  • How to set up the default voice over sounds exactly like the Alex voice?

    Hi,
    Anyone know how can I find out the exactly settings of the New System Voice Over Sound that shipped with the v10.5 Leopard call Alex?
    When I first opened the Voice Over set up windows, a voice called Alex greeting me and said it is the new voice of 10.5, it sounds very natural with the exactly right rate, pitch and volume.
    But when I later try to go into the voice over set up menu to get the exactly sound as my default setting, I can't reproduce the same sound quality... can anyone know how to fix this?
    thanks in advance!!

    I did. Their technical team knows very little about iPhones, and tried to refer me to the local Israeli dealer (iDigital) which doesn't support iphones at all, so I'm kind of stuck.
    I found a few posts on the Interenet talking about using *5005*86 to program the iPhone's modem through them, but I couldn't figure what to type exactly to make it work...

    Anyways, thanks for the help.

  • Voice Over sounds muffled

    I have Voice Over enabled on my 4th generation iPod Shuffle. I sometimes press the button on the Suffle to hear the track title and artist currently playing.
    But the Voice Over voice sounds very muffled to me, and difficult to understand. It's like a woman with a bad chest cold trying to talk through a thick blanket.
    Anyone else notice this? Is it normal?

    Does music sound normal?  Make sure the headphones plug is fully inserted into the jack.  Also, as a test, try a different set of headphones (any type), and use VoiceOver to see of there is any difference.
    If that does not help, you may want to do a Restore in the shuffle in iTunes.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the iPod, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.
    Re-sync the shuffle, set up VoiceOver, and try using VoiceOver again.

  • Recording Voice over a track

    I was wondering if I could use the interanl mic to record my voice over a instrumental track located on my computer using garage band? Is this a feature on the updated garage band (ie GarageBand 2 Garage Band 3) Any info would be helpful..

    sorry if this is a highjack of the topic but I thought it was relavent......
    I have 2 files, one is pre-recorded vocals and the other is an instrumental beat. I am trying to import both files into GB and play them simultaneously. So far I was able to drag both files into GB. They end up being two line on top of one another. The problem is when I press play GB plays the instrumental fine, but at the same time it crosses the vocals is speed them up and sound like a chimpunk. If I delete the instrumental track the vocals play just as they were recorded, no chimpunk effect. How can I fix this so that I both files will play simultaneously and sound like a real track; vocal and instruments?

  • Voice Over sound muted?

    Hi folks!
    I'm new to the mac game, so bear with me. I'm trying to record some voice overs over a video with audio, and whenever I hit record, the main sound mutes. i can still hear the mic audio, just not the main audio. Any tips to how to unmute the main track? All the check boxes on the right side are checked. Thanks!

    Hi Slacker:
    Welcome to discussions!
    It almost sounds like you extracted the main audio (so that it shows up on the second line in the timeline) and then you tried to record over that with the mic.
    If so, do not extract the main audio, just leave it embedded in the main timeline. Then use the mic.
    Or, I have completely misunderstood you, so come back and let me know.

  • Emailed File of Voice-over sounds Like it's Underwater

    Hi,
    My wife just began a voice over career and just got her first gig. She recorded files over GarageBand and emailed them to the client. When we listen to them on her system, they sound great. But after e-mailing, she sounds like she's underwater or muzzled.
    Is there a compression setting that we're missing? Hoping someone has some experience with this.
    Thanks so much.
    P Smith

    A digital audio file shouldn't change just because you emailed it. Could be the other parties computer settings or player. You should ask them what format and settings they want the file in.
    Also instead of emailing files you may want to think about another way of sending audio files. Maybe a ftp server so your clients can download them from the net and files size won't start to become a issue.

  • Does Shuffle voice over current tracks and artists for CDs burnt?

    The instructions seem to say it will, but the only voice over I get is "all songs".  iTunes knows all my CD's song titles.  Hmmmm-jt

    Isn't "all songs" the name of the default playlist, when you don't pick a specific playlist?

  • Switched to After effects CC today and my imported voice over sounds like buffalo bill ( very low)

    Hi guys,
    Today I switched to after effects cc and I am super excited about it . Unfortunately while trying to sync my audio to animations I found that it was distorted and made my voice sound very deep and low. I read this might have been a problem a while ago but there has patch released that fixes it and I have the most up to date version of after effects cc. What am I missing?

  • IPod Nano 7th Gen Info Voice Over Continually Runs

    I bought my Ipod Nano 7th Gen last year and for several months now ive had a issue with the voice over of track information that occurs when holding down the pause/play button on the side of the ipod. The voiceover continues to run and i am unable to stop it, meaning that i have to just turn my device off and leave it. I have tried turning it on and off, the voice continues to run once turned back on, i have reset it, restored it and the voice continues to play over. I find that i have to turn it off and leave it for a while until i can use it again with out the voice over contstantly yelling track information at me. The voice over generally only does this when i am using my headphones and more commonly when i am listening to a podcast, however it still occurs when listening to music. The actually accessbilbity voice over is turned off and i have tried everything i can to stop this from driving me crazy. Is this a glitch in my ipod, should i head to a genius bar or is there some other way of fixing it that i have not come across.
    Thank You AnB

  • Voice over comes out very fast

    I have CS5.5 and everything works smoothly except for voice overs. when I record a voice over  (audio track 2) the level indicators don't show anything but the voice over is recorded. However when played back it is running at something around Alvin & the Chipmunks speed. I usually get it to slow down and at that point the level indicators work but I have no idea what I have done actually fixes it. I am using the same microphone and sounds system that worked fine in CS5 and works fine in here when I get the playback slowed down. If I restart CS5.5 and go back to the project I worked on earlier the old voice overs play back fine but the new recording are fast again, until I click enough stuff and it slows down for some reason!
    What could I be doing wrong? I can't find anything obvious in the settings or preferences.

    Well, with VO work, the trick is to get someone with a good baritone voice, and have them not speak too quickly...
    OK, let's actually look at the problem. Having material at a vastly different Sample-Rate can cause problems, but you should not have this happening, as you are recording to a Project/Sequence that is set up properly. Scratch one thought.
    With AV work, having a really slow HDD can cause issues and those are often first seen in Audio. You are using the same gear, and sometimes it works, while other times it does not. Scratch the second thought.
    Now, you probably need to slow down, as you "click through things," and chart exactly what you are clicking on, and what finally works. You are doing something that fixes the situation, but you, and we, do not know what that is. You need to find out what you are changing, that does make it work. Then, perhaps you can make that change going in, and get things to behave properly. Only you can do that, as we'd just be guessing, and probably run you in too many circles.
    With Audio, there are also a ton of settings for playback, for hardware, or recording, and then for playback, many more at the OS and hardware levels. This is but a guess, but I'd say that there is some setting that differs in your PrPro CS5.5 installation/setup, that was correct in your CS5. I would pour over ALL Audio, Audio Hardware, and then Project/Sequence settings, looking for anything that might be different.
    What often happens, when one upgrades, is that when they installed and set up their original program, they step thorugh all the settings in Preferences and elsewhere, and get things tuned just right. Along comes an upgrade, and they now install it, assuming that everything will work, just as with the previous version, but now, "right out of the box." If the installation defaults do work 100%, then all is well, but if the user had made custom choices in Preferences, or elsewhere, then the defaults do not cut it.
    It appears that in your process of solving this problem, you ARE making a change in settings along the way, and that might well be the FIX that you need.
    Good luck,

  • Audio not recording properly doing voice-overs  CS5

    I'm in Premiere Pro CS5, the Audio Mixer window.
    I'm using an external Go Mic to record a voice-over audio track. It is hit or miss... one time it records audio properly ... then I clear that track and record again and the audio is blank. I notice in these instances that in the Project window the "speaker icon" isn't next to the audio track... instead there is a square white  icon with "recycle arrows" instead. 
    Anyone encounter this? Suggestions?
    Update:  I found that if i close Premiere Pro and open it again the audio file is there and its complete... ideas as to what causes this???

    Hello,
    I’m trying to have the artist hear the beat and
    sing over it without hearing their own vocals while
    recording.
    Try muting the track that you are recording onto I think.
    B. I also would like to setup headphone capabilities
    for my artist and myself while doing live recording.
    Does your sound card have a headphone output? If it does connect a female single to double jac adapter so you can attach 2 pairs of headphones.
