  • Voice Over Tool not working

    Posted by Anthony Vamvakitis on February 10, 2006 at 11:13 pm

    Don’t know if this is a FCP problem or one related to Multibridge Extreme, but I cannot get audio via the Voice Over tool. Source and input are set to “Decklink Audio”. Decklink Audio is set in input and output of system preferences.

    Right now I’m using the Log & Capture window to get the audio.

    Anyone else having issues with this?

    Okay, so that is the workaround. Thank you. But this can’t be the way it will operate from now on. Please tell me that you are going to address this and fix it so it works properly.

    There’s no way that I wanna go through that every time I am going to record VO. It won’t look professional to my clients.

    I’ve had this problem for some time. We have two nearly identical 2GHz Dual G5 machines with Extreme cards. On one machine we can feed audio into the G5’s audio in, select that as the source for the V/O tool and record fine. On the other slightly newer (but same model) machine this does not work and the only way to record is to turn off the external monitor. This means you can’t do ADR or any other process that requires you to see the images on the external monitor. Blackmagic say they can’t reproduce the problem so it seems I am stuck with it.

    Like you I can’t believe that Apple thinks that this is the way a voiceover tool should work.

    Where I have had to have images on the external monitor I have used Soundtrack Pro for recording, but this is another program that we don’t really know.
