Audio through FW Video hardware…
Hello, I’ve been working at a TV station for a while where we use a Laird Inertia FW video system to capture video and audio. It’s hooked up to rack processors along with a standard XLR mic. I have always recorded audio for voiceovers and sfx through the capture window. However, I currently have a project in which I’m going to need to narrate the action of the video while it goes along, so I’m going to need to watch the playback as I’m recording. I’ve sometimes captured audio through the mixer window, but that only records off of the internal soundcard… and I don’t have/want a crappy computer when I already have an external one.
So my question is, how do I record audio off an external video interface while I’m playing back video? Can Soundbooth do this if Premiere can’t? (currently soundbooth is only recognizing the sound card, but I’m not famillier with it enough to know whether I can change that).
I’m kinda ticked off. I (personally) have an audio studio in my house with an 8 channel MOTU firewire interface, and a couple thousands of dollars worth of microphones, but I have to settle for a jury-rigged video interface posing as an audio one, with a crappy SM58 knockoff as our only voiceover mic.

Is this a timeline that has been edited? If so, then the only choice, other than via the sound card, may be to record the timeline to tape and then recapture with the mic as the audio source via the Inertia. Then take the audio file from the newly captured clip and drop it on the original timeline. I do not know of any way to force PPro to use the 1394 interface for audio when doing VO.
Hope this helps.Edward Roberts
