Warm voice over in PP CS4 possible?

I am wondering if it is possible to record a deep, warm voice over in PP CS4? If so, can someone recommend the audio settings? Is this only possible using Soundbooth CS4 (prefer dynamic link so I can time the voice over with the video). If so, can anyone recommend the settings in SB?
Thanks.

For manipulating the VO wet, I would do this through SB. PrPro can do some enhancement to a dry recording, but is not designed to really pre-process the signal.
Personally, I would record dry and then adjust everything in post, and probably with SB, as it offers more power. I do this, as un-doing an Effect/setting is often a very tough task. I want the Audio dry, so that I can apply my desired Effects in a non-destructive way - pretty much the same with my Video. I want it as close to perfection and reality to start, even if I know that I will modify it in post.
Just my personal thoughts, and good luck,
Hunt

  • Ideal settings for warm, high quality voice over?

    Are there ideal settings to get a high quality voice over? I am using a good Samson mic, but need guidance with the settings? I don't suppose there is an existing preset that could be applied for this--I imagine I'll have to create one.
    Thanks.

    There are plent of presets that will add ambience to the voice over, but to make it "warm" and not sound "recorded" isn't easy if at all possible using the presets in SB.
    The best solution is to make sure the voice track is recorded at as close to "studio quality" as you can get before adding it.
    "Egg crate" foam, carpet, fiberglass, mic baffling, all help to minimize background noise and that slight echo that can turn what would otherwise be a really good voice over into an amateurish sounding affair.

  • Is live webcasting of voice over music possible in AUDITION?

    Is live webcasting of voice over music possible in AUDITION?

    It might just be possible, but I wouldn't dream of doing it! You'd have to have Audition monitoring on, and have it in record mode, feeding the mic monitor signal and also a track replaying at the same time to the output.
    Audition simply isn't designed to do this. Normally you'd use a small external mixer, and feed Audition and the mic into that, with the output going to whatever you are doing the webcast from. This way you can stop and start Audition as a playback source as and when you want, without fear of losing your entire output. And ideally the webcasting software should be a different PC. My experience of running Audition and webcasting software in the same machine simultaneously isn't exactly good...

  • Possible? Live SDI feed recorded straight into timeline. In the same way as Voice Over does.

    Hi
    Im not sure if this feature exists but its definitely technically capable and would revolutionise the way I work and I'm sure lots of others.
    I'm a music video director and the majority of the time work with take after take of performances.
    Basically - in the exact same way the 'Voice Over' tool works but with a live video feed via SDI using a thunderbolt adapter.
    And in a more complicated way -
    What I'd like to be able to do is to have an FCP project open with the master audio in place.
    Then, whilst camera connected via SDI, hit play in the timeline (so band hear playback audio for sync) and let FCP record the live picture coming in. Then upon cutting, a new clip would be placed directly on the timeline at the correct time to the sync of the music.
    Then for each take after that, it would create a new layer/track so it builds up these takes.
    One major benefit here rather than just having immediate sync would be that we could start playback and record at any point in the song and then be able to quickly check if it works with whatever else is happening in the edit.
    MANY MANY thanks if anyone can help with this.

    Hi Tom
    Of course - thats why I mentioned using the Thunderbolt adapter (like http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/uk/products/ultrastudiothunderbolt)
    Do you understand what I mean about being able to play the timeline and record into at the same time? Instantly see how the various 'takes' look and even being able to see how it looks when it cuts into the next/precious clip. Would be great no?

  • 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.

  • FCP, Decklink Ext. & Voice Over

    I´m having trouble using the voice over tool. The problem is that no audio is coming in to the fcp. It plays back video/audio to the audio booth but nothing is coming from the booth. I´m using embeded A/V on Decklink Extreme. Do I have too use analog audio to make this work??? Can FCP not use audio from the decklink when doing voice over??
    Hope anyone can help me.

    Ok. I contacted Blackmagic-design and It is not possible to use the voiceover tool like i want too. I have to add another audio card for this . and I quote
    "The DeckLink cards either record or playback but doesn't do both simultaneously. In order to use the VO Tool in FCP, you have to:
    1) View > External Video is set to "Off"
    2) There is a valid video signal being sent to the card that matches your timeline.
    3) Your DeckLink Video Desktop is set to the same resolution as your timeline.
    4) In the VO Tool dialog, input is set to "DeckLink Audio"
    Unfortunately, this means that your sound booth will not have video preview." un quote
    But you do not need the voice over tool if you can’t send video from the FCP!. That is the whole idea.
    If there is anyone out there that is using this like this please tell me how you are doing it
    Are the Kona cards better?
    Thanks

    I booted up this morning to find my voice over feature active. A black bar was at the lower left corner of my screen. When I began to click on the users in my login window it would not respond. All that I saw was the black bar saying authentication busy. I was not able to restart, I was not able to switch users, I was not able to shut down. I decided to manually shut down my Mac.  when it booted back up I was looking at the disk utility screen. When I clicked on repair or race it indicated that my hard drive had already been arranged. I was looking at completely formatted drive and I was having to either restore from Time Machine or reinstall lion. I had a back up but why did this happen?

    A possible workaround could be to have the horizontal scroll bar visible all the time.

  • How do I transfer a voice-over from one project to another?

    I cannot COPY the voice-over from Project #1 and PASTE it onto Project #2.
    I've got to believe this is possible without re-recording the voice-over.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi
    No and Yes
    There is no elegant solution - as it should be
    But in Project A - Export out as QuickTime .aiff (Share to QuickTime/Expert mode/Audio only)
    Import it into Project B
    Many elaborate sceens are made by Export / Import method. But still it use to work.

  • How can I remove high-pitched distortion from voice-over?

    Hi folks,
    I'm completely new to fixing audio. I am making a short film, and for a voice-over, I recently had to do an interview over the phone (the subject lives in a very remote location). Actually, I used GoToMeeting, we called into the conference call feature from our phones, and I recorded the meeting into a wmv file. Then I re-encoded it using Expression Encoder so I could pull it into Adobe Audition.
    I am attaching a short phrase (extracted as a .wav file) from the interview in the hope that someone can tell me how to improve the quality of the sound. I have Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Audition, both CS6 and CC versions.
    Short voice recording - Creative COW
    1. Can anyone tell me, please, how to get rid of the high-pitched "ringing" kind of distortion that we hear on each of her loudest syllables? Also, does this particular type of distortion have a name? I kept finding articles on fixing sound, but wasn't sure what I'm dealing with here, so I wasn't sure which techniques were likely to work. Tried a bunch, and the overall sound got better, but so far nothing has fixed that high-pitched distortion.
    2. After getting rid of that ringing distortion, what are your recommendations for making the voice recording sound as rich, smooth and full as possible? In real life, this woman has a BEAUTIFUL, rich voice. But the recording sounds like a flat telephone call (because it is).
    Thanks in advance,
    Mary

    Well, I don't think there's any miracles to be had here.  As you say, it's a telephone call and I fear that, since phone lines filter out anything above about 4k, there's no way of replacing it.
    I had a look at your file in spectral view and you can clearly see the original material going, as expected, up to about 4 kilohertz--but, above that, there's a generalised area of noise.  My suspicion--and it's only a suspicion--is that during your double conversions (to wmv then through a third party app to something else) one of them has added the extra noise as it your original was full bandwidth.
    Anyhow, best I could do was use the Marquee tool in Spectral View, draw a rectangle around the upper area (you can see a clear boundary between the programme content and the random extra frequencies) then just delete everything above just over 4 khz then delete.
    As for making a phone call sound full and rich, if there was a way to do it, when I was working in TV we could have saved hundreds of thousands a year by using phones instead of far more expensive circuits!

  • How do i turn "voice over" off on my macbook pro?

    So my laptop was on my bed and one of my kittens decided it was warm and decided to lay down on it. Somehow he turned on Voice Over and I have no idea how to turn it off. HELP!!

  • How do i trim a voice over recording in imovie?

    I am making an imovie with the most recent updated imovie software. I have recorded about 30 minutes of voice over...now I need to trim it as there are bloopers and mistakes...it is possible to edit that recorded voice over or no? I can't seem to find a way to do it.HELP, PLEASE!!!

    This worked in the previous version, and I believe it still works, but I have not tested.
    Select the Voiceover track. Move the playhead to where you want to split the track and type command-shift-s.
    Move to the other trim point and type command-shift-s. Now you can delete the portion you wanted to trim.

  • Horrible product , I have everything mac and this is my biggest disappointment. I have taken it in 3 times since march and again 1 week ago and now voice over even though turned off will not stop talking I can't even listen to music !!

    i have reset everything and voice over still won't stop . Iv turned it off it has never been turned on .
    THis his by far is the worst apple
    product I own and I own over 7 different products Just me alone in my house there are numerous more .
    i now for the fourth time since March have to bring the product back to apple and have it looked at . That's hours at times that I spend there due to lines , as a full time worker and student I do not appreciate the hassle of continuously having to fix this product . Lat time I went in I asked the service representative to provide another product and I would pay the difference in fees. She just wrote a note saying " if I come back again to to give a brand new product , less then one week later I'm returning with my product and hope to get what I was promised .
    I Have never been so disappointed in an apple product and recommend no one ever buys it .  Invest in a different product .

    I have the same question what time did you chat ? Just because you were speaking with someone that is representing Verizon does not mean you were speaking to a "Customer Service" agent. Customer service is only open during specific hours. After those hours the only people online is the Online Sales Department. It is very possible you were chatting with the sales department.

  • How can i import abbreviations in text to speech without using voice over?

    Hi, I have recently discoverd text to speech on my macbook, and I like what it can do. I would like  to edit the way it pronounces some abbreviations. I discovered this was possible with voiceover. I would like to do this even when voice over is turned off so I can highlight a text i want to read on a pdf and it would read everything as I want it to. Maybe there is a third party app that makes this possible?(This could come in handy when I want something to use it for biology books where there are a lot of abbreviations used, like ADP/ATP/NHDAP/...)

    Hi,
    You can load your data automatically in the Multisim word generator. Follow these steps:
    - Save your data file (in excel .xslx ir .csv format) on your computer
    - Change the extension of the file to ".dp"
    - Double-click the word generator in Multisim and click on Set...
    - In the Settings dialog box, click on Load and then Accept
    - This will prompt you to select the .dp file you have on your computer, select it and you're good to go
    However, in Multisim you have the option of creating your own custom simulation analysis and instrument.
    I will try creating the instrument and send it back to you but it might take some time.
    Multisim and LabVIEW are very powerful in test automation, with the custom instruments you create for Multisim you don't need to export your data file into excel from LabVIEW (or MathCAD or other tools) and then reload it into Multisim. The test procedure is automated instead.
    Please check this reference design about automated simulation
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7825
    Here is how you can create your own custom measurement tool in Multisim and LabVIEW, but as I mentioned, I will create the word generator and come back to you anyways

    Let me know if you have any questions.

  • Can I use voice over just for notifications?

    i Want to use voice over but just so I can hear my notifications and messages read to me as they come in. But nothing else. Is it possible. ?

    Forgive me as I did this a while ago, but heres how I remember it happening:
    1. I wiped it
    2. I selected "Set up as New iPhone"
    3. It registered
    4. It was activated, and was an iPod Touch basically
    5. I sold it, so I can't try it. I now use Verizon, so no SIM, although I do have an original iPhone (retired), but can't find my old SIM.
